IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME |
Join Dr. Murphree Wednesday October 1st 2025 6pm for live Zoom presentation on "Reversing Common Gi Disorders." Help for Irritable bowel Syndrome Reflux, heartburn, Gerd Bloating, gas, stomach pain, constipation, and loose bowel movements NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD ZOOM APP USE THIS LINK https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9751505003?pwd=S1pKYWRtL0pKN3ZmdmcxZHBzUTFUZz09 to join the live presentation Wednesday 6pm CDT Not necessarily the best topic for a cocktail party, I agree. However, for over 40 million Americans who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bowel movements are an important topic. Some experts report that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10–20% of the general population. |
Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea, and/or hard or less frequent bowel movements or constipation. Gender plays a clear role as more than 80 percent of IBS patients are women between 20 and 55 years old. The financial burden of IBS is high. In the United States IBS results in an estimated $8 billion in direct medical costs and $25 billion in indirect costs annually. The criteria for diagnosing IBS is based on the newly modified Rome criteria (Rome II criteria) as the presence for at least 12 weeks (not necessarily consecutive) in the preceding 12 months of abdominal discomfort or pain that cannot be explained by a structural or biochemical abnormality and that has at least two of following three features: (1) pain is relieved with defecation, and its onset is associated (2) with a change in the frequency of bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation) or (3) with a change in the form of the stool (loose, watery, or pellet-like)....

Nearly 1 in 3 new cancer diagnoses in women is breast cancer.
And with approximately 1 in 8 women facing it in her lifetime, this is a reality that touches nearly every family.
But here’s the truth:
Breast cancer doesn’t just happen out of the blue. It’s not as random as we’ve been led to believe.
There are steps you can take to lower your risk – and it starts with understanding the hidden factors that often go unnoticed.
Here are four surprising cancer-causers you need to be aware of to help protect yourself and those you love:
1. Chemicals in Cosmetics
Yes, this is a big one. Many makeup and skincare products contain “forever chemicals” that linger in your body and raise your risk of cancer. It’s unsettling – especially when you realize these are everyday brands most women trust without question.
2. Hormonal Imbalance
Menopause, cancer treatment, and stress can all contribute to hormonal shifts that affect everything from mood to metabolism to sleep. Many women are left dealing with hot flashes, brain fog, and weight changes – but aren’t sure how to manage them. The good news? With the right support, your body can begin to rebalance.
3. Light Exposure at Night
Our screens – phones, computers, TVs – do more than disrupt sleep. They can interfere with your pituitary gland and increase your cancer risk over time. It’s real, and it’s often overlooked.
4. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Often used to manage menopause symptoms, different types of HRT – including combined estrogen‑progestin therapies – can carry a measurable, though typically small, increase in breast cancer risk, especially with long-term use. That makes understanding your options – and working with a practitioner who can guide you – more important than ever.
While many risk factors are outside of your control…
These aren’t.
And understanding the difference is where healing truly begins.
That’s where our colleague Carol Lourie comes in.
Carol Lourie is a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, and Homeopath who’s helped thousands of women not only heal physically, but reclaim a sense of wholeness after treatment.
She understands what most practitioners miss: that healing isn’t linear, and it isn’t just medical – it’s emotional, hormonal, spiritual, and deeply personal.
For the women who’ve felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or left to figure it all out on their own, Carol offers something rare: expert care with real compassion.
She brings together decades of clinical experience with a deep understanding of what it truly takes to feel strong, safe, and at home in your body again.
This is where recovery becomes empowerment—and where you start writing the next chapter of your life, healthier, stronger, and more supported than ever.
Carol is offering a powerful free on-demand Masterclass called:
“Stop the Pain – Find Freedom from Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitors.”
It’s available for the next 48 hours.

| Is there anyone in your family that’s had Alzheimer’s disease? It’s a devastating disease that robs the person of their memories, but also their personality and ability to take care of themselves. It’s one of the hardest things for caregivers to watch as their loved one slowly and excruciatingly fades away in front of them. This motivated our friend Kim Murphy to begin her plant-based journey several years ago. She had watched her father struggle with Alzheimer’s for 10 years, and at Christmas of 2017, he didn’t know who she was. He passed away from a stroke in April 2018. This broke her heart. It was this experience that was a turning point in her life. Her health wasn’t great; she was overweight and experiencing brain fog herself, worried this could be the beginning of the same road her father went down. But instead of falling into despair and victim mode, she decided to do something about it. She dug into all the research and science to find out what was the BEST way to eat to prevent chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s and heart disease. And what she kept finding was that a whole food plant-based diet was “the best medicine.” She read all the books from the tremendous plant-based docs like Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, and many others and decided she had to make eating plant-based her new lifestyle. And it changed her life! In just a few months of eating whole food, plant-based, Kim had lost 20 lbs and 17 inches. But more importantly, the brain fog disappeared, her mood improved, she had more energy, and even her joints stopped hurting. She knew she couldn’t keep this knowledge to herself because even though she couldn’t save her father, maybe she could save someone else’s life in his honor. She earned her Plant-Based Certification from eCornell & the T. Colin Campbell Center of Nutrition Studies and her Health Coaching Certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and she’s now coached thousands in her programs to help them create a plant-based lifestyle to help them improve their health. Her clients have reversed type-2 diabetes, lost hundreds of pounds, gotten off chronic disease medications (under their doctor's supervision), and dramatically improved their health, energy, and lives. And NOW, she’s offering an incredible opportunity for you to join her in an upcoming 5-day challenge - Plant-Based Beginner’s Bootcamp - so you can see for yourself how simple & easy it can be. | |

Did you know that our first project, Food Matters (the film), was never intended to be a documentary that would reach millions of people globally?
It was actually made for one person… my father, Roy.
You see, Roy had chronic fatigue syndrome and was struggling with inflammation, stress, and weight gain, but the doctors couldn’t seem to help.
We took matters into our own hands and set out to interview the world’s leading experts in nutrition and natural medicine in the hopes that Roy would watch these interviews and be inspired to take a different approach to healing.
Spoiler alert… he eventually did, and we worked closely with him to help regain his health and happiness. (More about that later.)
Earlier today, we hosted a free webinar sharing about the healing approach we took and realized that so many members of our community haven’t seen Food Matters, so we wanted to give you the chance to do that.
CLICK HERE to watch Food Matters. >>
The film is only available to watch until October 5, 5:59pm PT.
If you’re interested in learning more about the details of the protocol that we used to help Roy recover and get his health back, then we’d love to invite you to tune into the replay of our live webinar from earlier today.
This webinar, 4 Practical Steps to Healing Stubborn Health Conditions, covers the root cause approach we used to help him reduce inflammation, fatigue, and stress.
When you save your seat to watch the film, we will also give you access to this insightful webinar.
The information in the film and webinar are both life-saving.
We’ve seen the power of it in our own lives, and we can’t keep it to ourselves.
If you don’t have time to watch the webinar, we’ve distilled some of the information into an eBook (The Food Matters Guide to Healing Stubborn Health Conditions) that you can download for free.
We’ll send it to you when you sign up for the film screening.
You can access the film, webinar, and eBook HERE. >>

TAKE ACTION
Keep Pharmaceuticals, Heavy Metals, Micro Plastics and PFAS Off Our Farmlands and Out of Our Food
To protect human health and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency should fully re-evaluate the multiple problematic ingredients found in the sewage sludge that is now being spread on farmland. Sewage sludge contains toxic substances like PFAS “forever chemicals,” pharmaceuticals, hormone disruptors, microplastics, and heavy metals that contaminate soil, water, and food.These contaminants have been shown to lead to cancer, reproductive issues, developmental problems, and long-term environmental damage. PFAS “forever chemicals” persist in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products can cause antibiotic resistance and hormonal disruptions. Heavy metals like lead and mercury are also absorbed by plants and enter the food chain.
In the U.S., there are generally three options for use or disposal of sewage sludge: land application, landfilling, and incineration, despite these known toxic substances, the EPA encourages the disposal of sewage sludge on farmland, as a way to dispose of it, misrepresenting biosolids to farmers as a safe, cost-effective, and natural alternative to chemical fertilizers when nothing could be further from the truth.
We need a ban now!
The EPA must ban the use of sewage sludge on farmland to prevent further contamination and sickness. Maine and Connecticut have already enacted bans. We need to ban it in all of our states! Instead, we should promote organic and regenerative farming practices that prioritize human health, environmental protection, and a safe food system.

BILLIONS AGAINST BAYER
Pesticides in Your Produce? Probably.
Liza Gross, Inside Climate News:“If you eat a daily serving of fruits and vegetables, critical components of a healthy diet, you’re likely ingesting a hefty dose of pesticides too, new peer-reviewed research shows. Eating fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide exposure scores was associated with higher urinary biomarker levels for three classes of neurotoxic pesticides: organophosphates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids.
These insecticides have been linked to neurodevelopmental problems, including autism spectrum disorder, neurobehavioral problems such as aggression and depression, cancer, asthma and other respiratory ailments. Infants, children and pregnant women are most susceptible to the effects of pesticide exposure.
‘Buying organic produce also helps push markets and food producers to invest more in organic farming’, said Kay. ‘That, in turn, protects farmworkers from being exposed to high levels of toxic chemicals in their jobs, and it reduces the amount of pesticides that end up in our food, drinking water and environment.’”

Help Us Take a Stand Against Toxic Sewage Sludge on Farmland
The myth that toxic sewage sludge is safe to dump on area gardens and farms is is a dangerous lie.You can read in our alert above that USDA’s own scientific evidence reveals the presence of numerous dangerous substances in municipal sewage sludge, including pathogens, “forever chemicals,” heavy metals, flame-retardants, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and pharmaceuticals.
Using sewage sludge for fertilizer is leading to serious health issues and environmental damage, but many consumers are unaware that this toxic stew is sold to farmers who use it to fertilize food crops and that this information is not required to be disclosed.
Choosing organic is the best way to protect yourself and loved ones but it’s not always possible. Addressing the sewage sludge issue is so critical as it is wreaking havoc on our environment and exposing those who do not have access to organic foods.
OCA has been fighting to protect human health and the environment from the dangers of sewage sludge on farmland and gardens since 2010!
Join us in calling for a ban!
Please donate now to help us push for an end to the toxic practice of spreading sewage sludge on farmland, to demand change and create a healthier future for our communities and planet.

HEALTH
Long Lives Helped Early Humans Thrive
Michael D. Gurven, Nautilus:“We’re living longer now than ever before in human history. Not just the extreme record breakers like 121-year-old Jeanne Calment, but average global life expectancy is at an all-time high of about 73 years. While life expectancy has increased over the past two centuries, human potential for long lifespans has been with us for far longer.
What a revelation that this potential for long life is an essential part of who we are. It’s not just a recent embellishment thanks to modern medicine. Understanding how this long life came to be in the first place is what motivated me to live and work among small-scale societies like the Ache of Paraguay and the Tsimane of Bolivia, and to write my recent book Seven Decades. Long life evolved because it helped our hunting and gathering ancestors survive harsh environments: The younger generations relied on the experience, wisdom, and support of the elders to make ends meet.
None of us can avoid the travails of aging, but figuring out which aspects of our gradual demise vary across environments and behavior could help us learn to build resilience.”

INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE
Cancer in the Corn Belt
The New Lede, EWG:“TNL’s Editor-in-Chief Carey Gillam traveled to Iowa to hear directly from the people living through an ongoing water crisis. In conversations with residents, farmers, politicians and scientists, a troubling picture emerged: dangerously high levels of nitrates and pesticides are contaminating drinking water across the state. Many fear this pollution is fueling Iowa’s unusually high — and still rising — cancer rates.
Community members share personal stories of illness and frustration, while farmers and politicians struggle to navigate the tension between protecting a farm-driven economy and addressing growing concerns over water safety and public health.
Cancer in the Corn Belt is an ongoing series exposing evidence that Iowa’s industrial agriculture is fueling a public health crisis: soaring cancer rates and heightened risks for babies and pregnant women.

South Africa: ACB’s objection to GM canola field trials sparks environmental debateOn August 11th, the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) objected to a proposed field trial of genetically modified (GM) canola, the trial was proposed by Corteva Agriscience, in order to enable the plant to tolerate glyphosate-based herbicides. In the objection, the ACB noted that South Africa had 154 wild relatives of canola that could cross-fertilize, risking widespread genetic contamination.ACB’s executive director, Mariam Mayet, said, “Canola is very, very promiscuous; by this, we mean that it can hybridize very, very easily with wild relatives. Wild relatives of canola would include turnip and wild mustard, but it can also spread its genes to other Brassica species such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. “And these species, when they receive these transgenes and they become contaminated with them, they become what we call wild and weedy plants. And then we have to spray these superweeds with more glyphosate and then contaminate the soil, as well as runoff into our river systems. And then we also now have to improve the canola, so the next bout of GM canola that will be grown will be a stacked variety. [Plants that have been genetically engineered to contain multiple traits.] “So, they’ll put more traits in the GM canola to resist more toxic herbicides like 2,4-D. You’re now in not only a pesticide treadmill, but you’re also in a GM treadmill, never-ending. So, you have more and more GM canola being grown with stacked varieties.” Large amounts of soya and maize grown in South Africa are genetically modified to withstand glyphosate.

European countries take steps to stop new GMOsTwo European countries made changes in late spring to thwart the addition of new genetically modified organisms—Switzerland, by extending a long running moratorium, and Norway, by revising current regulation. The Swiss Senate want more time to discuss how to deal with new GMO methods, so they voted to extend a moratorium on the cultivation of GMOs—which has been in place since 2005—until the end of 2030.The Parliament in Norway adopted changes in the GMO regulation. GMO Network Norway explained in a statement that the main principle in the law was that “All GMOs, including gene edited organisms, must be processed on a case-by-case basis. This means independent risk assessment, traceability, and labeling for all GMOs.” Additionally, applying for field trials won’t be possible without a health and environmental risk assessment. The result in both countries is a positive one for those concerned about GMOs’ negative health and environmental effects. More from our colleagues at GM Watch here. |

After Iowa bill limiting glyphosate lawsuits fail, Bayer now seeks to involve U.S. Supreme Court
The agribusiness giant petitioned the country’s top court after Iowa’s pesticide labeling bill didn’t survive the 2025 legislative session. The bill would have protected pesticide and herbicide manufacturers from claims that their products’ labels failed to disclose potential health risks, as long as their labeling adhered to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules.The company paid more than $10 billion in 2020 to settle suits of more than 95,000 cases related to claims that the product’s labels didn’t warn of potential cancer. In late May, a Missouri Court of Appeals upheld a $611 million judgment that Roundup causes cancer.
“Overwhelmingly, Americans know and feel deeply that a multi-billion-dollar multinational corporation does not need protection from our lawmakers,” said Michaelyn Mankel, a Des Moines-based Iowa Food and Water Watch organizer. “Lawmakers need to be protecting our rights to seek damages when we’re harmed.” For the full article click here.

Here's what you'll find in this week's Issue: |
+ Heartburn, Reflux, and GERD |
One estimate is that 40% of the US population has some degree of esophageal reflux, with 20% of adults complaining of weekly episodes of heartburn and 7-10% complaining of daily symptoms. Esophageal reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions, allowing the backward flow of acid, bile, and other contents from the stomach into the esophagus.... (read more) |
+ Are Antacids the Answer? |
First, the esophageal sphincter is stimulated to close by the release of stomach acids. When there’s not enough stomach acid present — because antacids have neutralized them — the esophageal sphincter may not close properly. This allows acid to travel back up into the esophagus and cause heartburn. ... (read more) |
+ Digestive Enzyme Deficiency |
The stomach needs an acidic environment for hydrochloric acid to turn the enzyme pepsinogen into pepsin. Pepsin is needed for digestion, especially protein. No protein digestion means no amino acids. No amino acids, no neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine.... |

As a clinician, I continue to get asked many questions about the prostate benefits of soy products. Are soy foods good for prostate cancer?" The curiosity stemmed from numerous articles she read on the internet associating prostate cancer benefits from soy consumption.
Can soy, a popular meat substitute, protect against prostate cancer?
Soybeans contain fiber, polyunsaturated fats, potassium, magnesium, and other vital vitamins. It also has all the required amino acids—the building blocks of protein—which is why soy is popular among vegetarians and vegans as a source of protein.
Soy products are broken down into two categories:
One major research study shows that two ingredients in soy, genistein, and daidzein, are associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Further, unfermented soy food products were associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer, while fermented soy food products had no associations with prostate cancer risk.
The rates of prostate malignancy are lower in Asian countries (where soy is a diet staple) compared with Western countries. This could be due to equol, a by-product of soy gut bacteria produce. Some research has found that equol is associated with a lower prostate cancer risk. However, not everyone can break down soy to make equol. One study found that American men produce less equal than Japanese and Korean men. So, can non-Asian men make enough equol from soy to protect themselves against prostate cancer? Likely not.
Even though isoflavones in soy are a type of phytoestrogen, which may have a similar effect on the body as estrogen, one research article has shown that soy does not increase estrogen levels in men.
There is much confusion about soy and prostate cancer. Whether it may protect against prostate cancer or help manage your diagnosis is unclear. Until then, I think it's perfect for men to enjoy soy in moderation. Also, it's not a good idea to think of any one food as a panacea. At XY Wellness, we believe the whole integrative roadmap is better than the sum of its parts. Eating a variety of optimal, clean foods that include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cruciferous vegetables is best – they are called and have been shown to have prostate cancer protection.
Final Thoughts and Takeaway from Eating Soy
Later in our dinner last night, I passed on the soy ice cream. I'd avoid fake soy products like soy ice cream, soy burgers or soy hot dogs. Fake foods are crap too. If you want ice cream, have ice cream. Feel free to consume one to two daily servings of soy in the form of tofu or tempeh. A couple of cups of soymilk a week may also be beneficial and contain benefits in fighting prostate cancer. Again, one food is never a cure for any disease. Cancer is a complex and multifaceted group of diseases, and no magic bullet can eliminate it entirely. However, a balanced, whole foods diet can significantly reduce the risk of developing and progressing prostate cancer.
