Auto thefts in Greenwood Village are down 17% in 2022

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

There were 128 auto thefts reported In Greenwood Village in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of 17% from the same period in 2021.

Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were 189 stolen autos recovered in the city limits.

GV doesn’t report where the vehicles it recovers were stolen. Its monthly reports also do not contain details of the circumstances under which vehicles were stolen (whether they were locked or unlocked, etc.).

The largest increase in reported crimes in GV for the first three quarters of this year was in the category of thefts, up 57% from 478 in 2021 to 749 in 2022. Theft is defined as the taking of someone’s property without their per-

mission. Theft can be tricky as a crime because property may be misplaced; when the owner can’t find it, theft may be assumed without actual evidence that the property was stolen.

Burglaries in GV increased 38% to 91 through the end of September, from 66 during the same period of 2021. Robberies increased from 11 to 12. Burglary is entry into a building illegally with intent to commit another crime, especially theft. Robbery is the act of taking property unlaw-

fully from a person or place by force or threat of force.

Traffic accidents in GV during the first nine months of this year increased 11% over 2021 from 645 to 717. GVPD issued 5,152 citations through September 30, 2022, down 4% from 5,355 issued during the same period in 2021.

One incident reported by GVPD in June involved, “Officers took into custody a male subject who was wanted for attempted murder by Denver PD. GVPD coordinated with Denver PD to take the male into custody at the Extended Stay America off of Quebec Street.”

During July, “The GVPD investgations unit was recognized by TJ Maxx (at Orchard and University) for their continued work on retail theft mitigation after making four felony and two misdemeanor warrant arrests, along with capturing two identify theft

suspects and the recovery of a stolen vehicle.”

During September, “GVPD officers responded to a bank robbery at Independent Bank at the corner of Orchard Road and Willow Street. The suspect reportedly passed a note demanding money and left on foot with an undisclosed amount of currency. Officers located a male fitting the suspect’s description. He was detained and identified by witnesses at the bank. All of the money was recovered and the suspect confessed to four other recent bank robberies in the Denver Metro area. He faces multiple felony charges.”

Last year, Greenwood Village installed an automated license plate reader in the area of the city where a significant amount of crime occurs.

It in the vicinity of big box stores, hotels and motels. The purpose of the effort was to identify license plates owned

by people with outstanding arrest warrants. During just the month of August, GV reported that, “The automated license plate reader read 921,687 license plates with 1,809 alerts, 43 of which were investigated, resulting in recovery of stolen vehicles, warrant arrests, and narcotic and firearms violations.”

The September city manager’s update also contains information that, “Homeless encampments were addressed at the following locations in September: 6787 S. Clinton Street 6767 S. Clinton Street 5380 Greenwood Plaza Boulevard 7800 E. Dorado Place 8081 E. Orchard Road 8655 E. Arapahoe Road 4151 S. Dallas Street 9401 E. Arapahoe Road 9600 E.

In CHV, most stolen cars were left unlocked with keys inside

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

The City of Cherry Hills Village reports detailed information to its city council and the public monthly. At the end of August, the CHV Police Department (CHVPD) reported that all sworn personnel would be using body-worn cameras beginning October 1, ahead of the January 1, 2023 date required by state law. The equipment was purchased with $73,200 that the city received from the State of Colorado.

For the first nine months of 2022, the largest increase in crime in CHV was for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), which resulted in 25 arrests, compared to seven for the same nine-month period in

2021. That increase accounted for most of the increase in total arrests for the ninemonth period, which was 36 compared to 13 total arrests for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The total number of burglaries reported in CHV through September 30, 2022 was 12, compared to 16 during the same period in 2021, a decrease of 25%. Bur-

glary is the act of entering a building without permission, usually for the purpose of stealing something.

Thefts from motor vehicles during the period increased from 31 in 2021 to 43 in 2022 for the first nine months of 2022.

Other thefts, not from motor vehicles, totaled 31 in 2022 through September 30, including eight from mailboxes. Those figures for 2021 were 26 total, including 10 from mailboxes.

CHVPD reports details of motor vehicle thefts and vehicle trespasses monthly. The Villager analyzed those for each of the first nine months of 2022.

We found that of the 17 motor vehicles stolen in CHV during the first nine months of 2022, 11 were documented as

having been left unlocked and for two of the thefts, the reports didn’t say whether they were locked or not, but they did say that keys were left inside 12 of the 17 vehicles that were stolen.

Eight of the vehicles were recovered by local police departments in Golden, Denver, Aurora, Englewood, and Jefferson County and returned to their owners. A ninth was stolen by an estranged family member; it too was returned.

There were 43 vehicle trespasses reported by CHVPD in 2022 through the end of September. Of that total, 31 occurred in vehicles that were left unlocked and 12 happened when vehicles were entered by force, usually by breaking a window. Items of value were taken from the vehicles in 21 of the vehicle

College admission: More than a test score

When the calendar flipped to November last week, most Americans didn’t notice the huge collective holding of breath as high school seniors pushed submit on their college applications.

The first of November is the initial big deadline for many college programs, especially for students putting in their chips for an early decision or early action admission to top tier schools. Coincidentally, college admissions also made headlines last week as the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in a civil suit filed against Harvard University regarding affirmative action and the consideration of race in college admissions.

The lawsuit was filed by Edward Blum and the non-profit Students for Fair Admissions who, according to their website, “believe racial classifications and preferences in college admissions are unfair, unnecessary, and unconstitutional.” They seek to prevent colleges which accept federal funds from considering race in the admissions process. According to testimony in the case, Megan McCardle of the Washington Post suggested “Asian-Americans would be 43% of Harvard admissions, as opposed to the current rate of 19%, if only academics’’ were considered. That term, “academics,” is the crux of the debate. For, while affirmative action is debatable, and people have different opinions on diversity, it’s tough to believe students were specifically denied based on their race.

The lawsuit claims Asians students are discriminated against because of affirmative action and Harvard considering race.

However, when the lawsuit focuses on “academics,” it literally means GPA and test scores only, and that’s the problem. Claimants seem to want admission to be based solely on their higher test scores and GPA. However, colleges assess applications on a body of evidence with as many as twelve distinct categories. To claim Harvard, or any college, should only admit the students topping a list of GPA and test scores is incredibly myopic.

Scores are simply one or two data points which measure an arguably narrow skill set. Colleges want to, can, and should be allowed to assess applicants and build their student body based on a full body of evidence including non-standardized factors.

Much talent and potential is simply not standardized. In fact, the EQ, or emotional quotient, is equally important if not more significant in predicting success.

It’s also highly valued by employers, which is why interviews and portfolios are used rather than test scores for hiring. The top percent of SAT test takers and grade point accumulators aren’t automatically and necessarily the “best student body.” There are countless strong leaders in any school who make significant

contributions and are impressive students and people even though, and maybe because, they don’t just have top grades. In fact, many successful people were “C” students, including some

who went on to occupy the White House or start groundbreaking companies.

Another problem is the Harvard lawsuit singling out students on affirmative action, as opposed to targeting legacy admissions, athletes, donors’ kids, and students of faculty, who actually make up 40% of Harvards’ class.

Those students’ scores aren’t necessarily as high as the plaintiffs either, but the lawsuit doesn’t claim discrimination there. Additionally, standardized tests are easily gameable and often representative of wealth. In the real world, employers can hire whoever they want, and a lawsuit claiming Goldman Sachs, or any other company, can’t hire a person because another applicant has higher SATs would be patently absurd.

The same freedom to “hire,” or admit in this case, should be the right and freedom of schools.

It’s not that the claimants didn’t get into college. They just didn’t get the one they wanted.

Ultimately, the lawsuit’s argument is negated by the nature of the complaint. It claims Asian students with higher GPA and test scores were not admitted but other students with lower scores were. And that’s fine. Colleges

assess applicants holistically.

They don’t, and shouldn’t be forced to, accept students based on a simple “cut list” of the top test scores and GPA. As an educator with a college student and a high school senior, I constantly hear from colleges that admission is not just scores – it’s a body of evidence, as it should be. A student with a 3.8 and 1350 SAT is not automatically a lesser applicant who brings less to the student body than one with a 4.3 and a 1580. Colleges want a diverse group of talents, strengths, backgrounds, and personalities, and they should have the freedom to build a student body based on that distinction. Test scores are one data point – there are myriad others.

I’m writing this on midterm election day as the nation votes.

We have been told that this is the most important election in history.

There have been many challenging elections, and somehow the nation survives. Maybe for better or worse, depending upon the leadership elected, especially at the Federal election.

This election today is just a preview of what is to come in 2024.

Joe Biden is still President of the United States the day after the election, no matter what happens with the Senate, Congress and gubernatorial elections.

The highest office in the land still holds the power of the pen, appointments, and cabinet selections and is the Commander and Chief of our military forces. The American president is one of the most influential figures in the world who just runs the executive branch.

The legislative branch may have some changes

after this election. Enviably there will also be changes to the Supreme Court in the future.

I’m not making any political predictions on Election Tuesday. Years ago, in another city and publication, I stated, “I will bet my hat that this person will be elected.”

Well, my selection lost the election.

Several days later, I received a package with a note, some packets of ketchup and mustard, and a message saying, “Eat Up.” I called the sender, who was brave enough to enclose his name. We became good friends. Sometimes we can find some subtle humor in politics.

Midterms usually don’t have the voter turnout of the presidential contests do. Senators are elected to six years terms, and house representatives for twoyear terms. Presidents are now limited to two terms in office after Franklin D. Roosevelt won a third term during World War ll.

The Villager

There are no term limits for the house or senate.

That decision is left up to the voters in the states.

Because of the tight races for the control of Congress and the Senate, this year has been especially challenging.

The only clue that leads to making any predictions is that in the past, voters tend to vote their pocketbooks.

Prospective voters are challenged by wading through factual news coverage, campaign materials, TV ads, radio spots, and newspaper endorsements. All play into the final tally of votes, and money plays a huge part in selecting candidates and winners.

Tonight I will watch Fox news and then turn to CNN. It is almost like living in another country on views and slants of news.

No wonder we have so many unaffiliated voters.

Good government begins in our cities and counties. These are local folks we know, or at least

Optimist Club of Monaco South sells Christmas trees -- Kids visit with Santa The Optimist Club of Monaco South will once again be offering Christmas trees for sale at the northwest corner of Monaco & Iliff (2285 S. Monaco) at the Villa Monaco Shopping Center.

The funds raised through tree sales allow Monaco South to continue its 45year history of serving youth and the community.

On weekends, Santa Claus

is in residence at the Tree Lot’s heated Santa Haus to visit with the young and young at heart at no charge or purchase obligation.

Besides several varieties of trees, wreaths, fresh garland, and tree accessories are available for holiday decorating.

This annual fundraiser is a local 45-year tradition and supports over 35 youth and community programs, including

Super Citizenship Awards at • Bradley International, • Hamilton Middle, • Holm Elementary, • Lowry Elementary, • McMeen Elementary, • Most Precious Blood, • Samuels Elementary, and • Slavens Elementary schools.

Additionally, the club provides Thanksgiving and Christmas Day Food Baskets,

know of. Mayors are very important, along with city council members.

We should select the best of these team leaders to promote to higher office.

However, after serving in local government, many officials call it quits.

As we wind up this election season, we should thank all candidates who entered the fray. It is still possible to make campaign donations to both winners and losers.

The losers will be home watching football, and the winners will represent their constituents at meetings.

History shows that American elections have always been turbulent, going way back to writing the founding documents that instructed us what to do and how to do it.

When it’s all over, hard-working American citizens hold the glue that keeps the fabric of democracy together.

GV revenue for 2023 is projected to hit $60 million

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

The 2023 citywide budget passed by the Greenwood Village City Council on October 17 anticipates revenue of $59.7 million, a four percent increase over this year’s amended budget, despite a reduction in 2023 of $3.5 million, or 45%, in intergovernmental revenue, including almost $2 million that GV banked in 2022 from the American Rescue Plan.

A major reason for GV’s positive outlook is, as of mid-September, “2022 sales tax collections are expected to exceed initial forecasts by 13.6%.” The significant rise in sales tax collections this year is attributed to both “the faster than anticipated economic recovery” and inflation. The 2023 budget projects sales tax collections will rise another $1 million over the final total for 2022 total, to $34.5 million.

Besides sales tax, GV’s, “use tax, lodging tax, and occupational privilege tax for 2022 are also all projected to come in at amounts higher than the 2022 amended budget.” Total general fund revenues for 2022 were $5.1 million, 5% higher than budgeted, as of the end of Septem-

ber. General fund expenditures for the same period were 2% lower than the amount budgeted, even after the city spent $250,000 during September on retroactive pay increases due to its “change in compensation philosophy.”

As a result, the city expects a 2023 operating surplus (the amount by which the city’s income exceeds its operating expenses) of $6.4 million.

With zero debt issued or outstanding, at year’s end, after all expenses are paid, GV expects to have $49.3 million in its bank account, of which $27.4 million is considered its “Unassigned Fund Balance,” which it defines as “funds available to meet the needs of the community without regard to spending limitations imposed by (GV itself) or external agencies.” Some of the “restricted” amounts in the city’s fund balance are set aside only as a matter of policy and can be changed by a simple vote of the council at any time. Those include a 25% Operating Reserve Assignment, an Open Space Acquisition Assignment, and a Traffic Safety Assignment; those three items comprise $14.3 million of GV’s “restricted” fund balance of $21.9 million out of the total fund balance of $49.3 million.

Total general fund revenues for 2022 were $5.1 million, 15% higher than budgeted, as of the end of September.

General fund expenditures for the same period were 2% lower than the amount budgeted, even after the city spent $250,000 during September on retroactive pay increases due to its “change in compensation philosophy.”

New this year in GV’s budget is $678,627 in unexpected revenue that GV received from the sale of the Denver Broncos as a result of a 1998 agreement between the Metro Stadium District, PDB Sports and Stadium Management Company “that requires that 2% of the net proceeds” from the sale of the team are “to be paid to the Metro Stadium District to be used for youth activity programs.” The money, which GV received in 2022, which was an unbudgeted windfall resulting from the stadium construction sales tax that was in effect from 2001 to 2011.

GV City Manager John Jackson announced the windfall to the city council at its September 16 budget meeting, along with the fact that the requirement be used for youth activity programs. The city council did not decide at that meeting how the money would be used and has not yet taken up the question in any city council meeting or study session since.

Like most organizations, nearly half of GV’s expenditures are for “costs associated with personnel.” For 2023, total personnel costs are expected to increase $3.65 million, or 13%, over the current year-end estimate for 2022. Of the total

increase, $1.4 million is attributed to “compensation philosophy update” and “general employee market adjustments” for all non-police officer positions. The market adjustment in the 2023 budget for commissioned officers is just over half a million dollars. The city council discussed these changes to how it will pay its regular and police personnel at multiple study sessions over the summer.

The City Hall Interior Remodel Project, as reflected in the capital improvement program included in the 2023 budget, is presently expected to cost a total of $5 million for planned expenditures through the end of 2024.

Also included in the 2023 capital projects budget is $2 million for a fiber backbone.

The project detail page for that expenditure says, “As GV continues to define the role and portion of citywide fiber to the premises that the city will own and maintain, the initial phase will be to build a fiber backbone (which) will allow for the city or a future partner to extend the fiber network into the neighborhoods, and if ultimately decided, to each residential property as well.” fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Cherry Hills Village expects revenue of $13 million in 2023

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

At a study session of the Cherry Hills Village City Council on October 3, Doug Farmen, CHV director of finance and administration, presented highlights from the proposed 2023 City Budget.

The official budget presentation is scheduled for first reading and a public hearing on November 15.

Total 2023 revenues for the city are expected to be $13.2 million, with $8.5 million of the total budgeted for the general fund, $2.9 million for the parks and recreation fund, and $1.4 million for the capital fund. The general fund budget is balanced by transferring any surplus of revenues over expenditures to the capital fund. For 2023, the amount of that transfer is expected to be $417,242.

Property Tax is the city’s largest revenue source, accounting for $2.8 million, or one-third of general fund revenue. The next highest sources of general fund revenue are sales tax and motor vehicle use tax, each of which are expected to account for 14% of general fund receipts in 2023.

Farmen told the city council that he “is assuming a stable local and national economy in 2023,” and expecting revenue sources to mirror their actual performance in 2022.

Farmen noted that, “The building industry is dependent on economic conditions,” and CHV’s forecast for building

salary increases were warranted to retain high-quality staff.

CHV will add an additional school resource officer (SRO) in 2023, the entire cost of which will be borne by private schools Kent This chart shows the sources and amounts of This chart shows the breakdown of general Denver and St. revenue budgeted for the CHV General Fund in fund expenditures for CHV in 2023.

a grant to offset part of that cost.

Also planned for 2023 is the expenditure of $31,000 for public art, including $10,000 for a sculpture at John Meade Park.

In 2021 and 2022, CHV received $1.7 million total in American Rescue Plan funds, which it recorded in a stand-alone fund so that it can make sure it uses that money for the specific purposes for which it was intended. A total of $195,540 from that fund was expended in 2022.

Presently, there are no plans to spend any of the remaining money in 2023. These funds must be appropriated by 2024 and spent by 2026.

The city’s projected unrestricted general fund balance at the end of this year is $11.2 million and expected to remain the same at the end of 2023. Long range financial forecasts are being deferred until the outcome of the sales tax ballot issue is known after the November 8 election.

The balance in CHV’s capital fund is projected to be $8.5 million at the end of 2023, down from $8.9 million at the end of 2022.

Of the total CHV municipal mill levy of 14.722 mills, approximately half is credited to the Parks and Recreation Fund each year. For 2023, that amount is $2.9 million, the same amount as in 2022. The ending fund balance for the Park and Recreation Fund in 2023 is projected to be $1.6 million, a decrease of $643,080 from the 2022 ending fund balance of $2.2 million. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

HUNTINGTON ACRES STING I L W NE

Roughly six months ago, General Manager George Paton sent three players and five draft choices to Seattle in return for Russell Wilson and a fourth-round pick.

This left Denver without a firstor second-round draft choice until 2025 but was deemed worth it to acquire the franchise quarterback the Broncos have lacked since Peyton Manning retired after winning the half-century Super Bowl.

Immediately there was talk of another Lombardi Trophy.

But it hasn’t worked out that way; not even close.

And now, former firstround pick Bradley Chubb is gone—a delayed part of the price for Wilson.

Here’s why I say that: Trading Chubb restores the Broncos as a player in the first round of the draft next April. But that move actually increases the cost of acquiring Wilson. Effectively, it’s now Noah Fant (the 20th player drafted in 2019), Drew Lock (42nd in ’19), defensive line anchor Shelby Harris, the 2024 number one and two seconds—plus Chubb, in place of that other first (2023).

Consider the swap of fifth and fourth an afterthought.

Yes, the Broncos also came away from the Chubb deal with another running back and a swap of lower draft choices.

But make no mistake: this was all about recouping a pick in the first round, and the price was Chubb.

In my view, trading Chubb so that the 2023 draft cup-

board isn’t quite so bare is throwing good money after bad.

What would Broncos Country have thought of that package last March?

Denver made Chubb the fifth player taken in the 2018 draft—opting for him, it should be noted, over Josh Allen of nearby Wyoming, now a leading contender for the 2022 NFL Most Valuable Player Award as the quarterback of one of mid-season’s Super Bowl favorites, Buffalo.

At the time, John Elway was in charge of football operations for the Broncos, and he called Chubb the best defensive player in that draft.

Chubb backed up Elway’s assessment with a 12-sack rookie year but missed more games than he played the last two years because of injuries.

This season was looking more like his first.

If there was another factor in dealing Chubb, it also can be connected to Russell Wilson, whom Paton signed to a mega-extension before Denver’s new savior played a down for the Broncos.

Chubb was approaching free agency and was going to require a mega deal of his own to remain in Denver. Miami, in fact, shelled out $110 million to extend Chubb for five years soon after the trade.

How many nine-figure contracts can one team carry, even if the owners are Walmart billionaires?

This all may sound like a “knock” on Wilson. But that’s

not the point.

This is about decisions and their consequences.

In this case, the decisions were mortgaging the Broncos’ future then writing that big check. Trading Chubb is only the beginning of the consequences unless Wilson returns to form, which, of course, is not out of the question.

But if he doesn’t, it will be very difficult to build a winner with three fewer highdraft picks and less financial flexibility in the immediate future.

We won’t know until next January where the Broncos land in the 2023 draft order, but it’s a good bet that this year’s first-round pick sent to Seattle will be higher than the one harvested for Chubb (San Francisco’s via Miami).

That’s another consequence.

Wilson has worked hard to live up to expectations but, for a variety of reasons, has been barely better than Teddy Bridgewater last season. (Wilson’s former team, Seattle, meanwhile, is in first place in its division at 6-3 with journeyman Geno Smith at quarterback—well ahead of the 49ers (second at 4-4) and the defending Super Bowl champion Rams, who currently occupy third place with three wins and five losses).

Coming out of the bye week, and 10 days after the NFL trade deadline, the Broncos have the same record as the Rams. The offense, under Wilson’s leadership, has been underwhelming.

After eight games last season, the Broncos’ record was 4-4; they finished 7-10. The year before, they were 3-5 en route to 5-11. In 2019 they were 2-6 then won five of eight to go 7-9.

Denver has nine games left to turn the season around: at Tennessee this Sunday; four other road games (Carolina, the Ravens, the Rams and the Chiefs); and four more home games (Raiders, Chiefs, Arizona and Chargers).

How many wins do you see among those nine? Fewer now that Chubb has been subtracted from the defense?

PMS to MENOPAUSE —Continued from previous page—

Part 4 of 4 [Biological Hormone Back-ups] JOLENE’s diagnosis of Menopause had been more than two years, when she started Clinical Nutrition Therapy to correct the causes of other health concerns at that time. So, she was quite surprised to resume regular menstruation again!

menstruation, long-term menstrual bleeding, severe headaches or migraines, mental and emotional dis-

She wasn’t happy about that, as she enjoyed life without menstruation, but she understood that her overall body health was being restored through clinical nutrition therapy, and her lack of menstruation was actually another symptom of being unhealthy, not due to Menopause.

KELLY shared that after eight months of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, all of her menopausal symptoms resurfaced, which is what led her to balance her hormones through our clinical nutrition therapy. Over the years, a significant number of other female clients have shared with me that they had the same experience.

In Part 1-3 of this 4-Part series, I have shared information on how Clinical Nutrition Testing and Therapy provide safe and effective solutions for female challenges, such as hormone imbalances, irregular

turbances, endometriosis, prevention of breast and ovarian cancer, and more.

So, now, let’s talk about Menopause. Menopause is generally defined as not menstruating for 1-2 years. The months or years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause (or pre-menopause), the years after menopause are called post-menopause, and the most common symptoms are hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, difficulty sleeping and weight gain.

KEYS TO HORMONE BALANCE: Since opening my business in 1981, I have observed two keys to helping women balance their hormones: #1 There are a number of other factors, not just hormone imbalances alone, that lead to the development of the symptoms typically

classified as menopausal (women) or andropausal (men).

Factors such as hormonal interferences from the chemicals, metals, plastics and other toxins ingested through food, water, beverages and drugs and/or exposures from the air and environment. #2 The human body has what I call “Biological Hormonal Back-ups” for hormone production.

In other words, if anything happened, such as an injury or surgery (such as a partial or complete hysterectomy), where the female (or male) reproductive organs were no longer able to produce sufficient Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2) and Estriol (E3), Progesterone or Testosterone (which both genders produce), the thyroid and adrenal glands are designed as biological back-ups to produce these hormones for you.

However, quite often, by the time their biological back-ups are needed, these glands are exhausted and having difficulties producing their own primary hormones, which can compromise their ability to produce female and male hormones,

too. This is why people begin looking for hormone replacement therapy.

However, a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of the Lab Reports from testing saliva, blood and hair identifies the therapeutic whole food supplements your body requires to 1) produce sufficient hormones on its own, whether they are thyroid, adrenal or female/male hormones, as well as 2) detoxify the chemical, metals and other toxins interfering with hormone production.

BLOOD HORMONE TESTING IS NOT ENOUGH: Additionally, testing blood hormones alone does not provide a complete hormonal picture.

For example, hormone levels in the blood may appear normal, yet be deficient at the cellular level, as identified through saliva hormone testing.

And even if your blood and saliva hormone levels are sufficient, a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis is essential, because if you do not have the minerals that transport your hormones, they will not get into the cells. Hormones that do not reach the cells are recirculated back into the blood, which then leads to more blood hormone imbalances.

This is why for a complete hormonal picture, I provide

a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of the Lab Reports from testing blood, saliva and hair.

This concludes my article series on the causes of symptoms and healthy solutions through Clinical Nutrition Testing and Therapy for both female and male hormonal systems.

You may access these articles on our website, through the “Education” Menu by selecting “Villager Publications.”
