LIVING TOXIC-FREE: EASIER THAN YOU THINK Dementia and scores of other chronic diseases are climbing at alarming rates. These conditions are increasingly more the norm than in our grandparents’ day. But do we know why? According to Joseph E. Pizzorno, Jr., a naturopathic doctor and one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine, the reason is plain and simple: toxins. Our environment is now chock full of them – pesticides and pollutants in the air and myriad chemicals and metals inside the foods we eat every day. Dr. Pizzorno, who spoke at the Chambers Center for Well Being this past May as part of an ongoing Community Lecture Series sponsored by Qualcare, Inc., says, “Our bodies are enzyme machines fueled by proteins, vitamins and minerals. Toxins displace the vitamins and minerals, and as a result our bodies don’t work as well.” “Go organic, use health and beauty aids low in chemicals, and only eat browned foods sparingly since this cooking process produces harmful compounds that play a part in chronic disease,” he adds.

PERMANENT PRAISE It was unforgettable, for many, when Robert “Dick” and Louise “Jackie” Deskovick gave $5 million to Morristown Medical Center. Their name will now be remembered for generations to come. In recognition of their gift, the Franklin Building was re-christened the Deskovick Pavilion in September.
