GMO Labeling in Maryland

GMO Labeling MarylandGMO is not just a new buzz word. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are unfortunately part of our everyday lives. Even if you try your best to avoid them, it’s almost impossible to do that because there are no GMO labeling laws.

On Tuesday, March 11, the Maryland General Assembly will hold hearings on two GMO Labeling bills. One of the best ways to create public awareness of genetically modified food and its dangers is to create a stir in social media. Please help the Maryland GMO Need to Know campaign by talking about the issue in social media. [UPDATE: one hearing has been postponed. Please continue to act on the hearing that is still scheduled!)]

Here are some easy and important tools to help you get the word out.

1. You’ll find cool memes to share here: http://facebook.com/GMOFREEMD

2. Post status updates, such as some of the following:

– Please SIGN the Maryland GMO Labeling Petition at: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/needtoknow-maryland-gmo

– Call your Maryland representatives in support of @GMOFreeMD Bills HB1191 and SB0778. Here’s how: http://www.needtoknowmaryland.org/#!health-committees/c1yq9  Continue reading “GMO Labeling in Maryland”

Support Pending Legislation for Licensed Naturopaths in Maryland

51Maryland residents have a chance now to help get important legislation passed regarding licensing of Naturopathic physicians in our state. Naturopathic medicine is an extremely important option for people who want to improve their health by getting to the root cause of their symptoms or the disease. It is also an important option for those who have not had success with conventional medicine. And, it is an important option for people who want to prevent illness to begin with. To have licensed Naturopaths in Maryland would be a great step forward in alternative healthcare here.

At Village Green, we are strong proponents of Naturopathic medicine and believe this approach is critical to improving the health of people, and the health of our healthcare system. Naturopathic medicine is – we hope – finally, in 2014, on the verge of becoming licensed in our home state of Maryland, as it is already in a number of other states and the District of Columbia. Dr. Kevin Passero, one of our naturopaths-in-residence who also is a Past President of the Maryland Association of Naturopathic Physicians, has urged us to spread the word about this legislation, and and about taking action by calling or writing to your state senators, if you live in Maryland. Information on how to do this is in the Action Alert below, from Dr, Emily Telfair, current President of the Maryland Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Thank you!  Continue reading “Support Pending Legislation for Licensed Naturopaths in Maryland”

Village Green – Best of Bethesda Winner 2014

Best of Bethesda 2014Each year Bethesda Magazine has a “Best of Bethesda” issue, sharing editors’ and readers’ favorite restaurants, stores, professional services, and more.

We’re proud to be named an editors’ pick as the Best of Bethesda winner for “Shop For the Herbalist.” Not only did they notice our great selection of herbal remedies, but also our terrific sections of nutritional supplements and personal care products, plus our exceptional staff. Here is the complete review.

It’s clear from the number of customers inside Village Green Apothecary that we’re not the only ones who like to frequent the 49-year-old Bethesda institution. The buzz of conversation fills the air as longtime staffers and customers chat in the aisles.

The bustling shop provides everything from in-house nutritionists and wellness counselors to pharmacists (who make custom-blended medications as well as fill standard prescriptions) to an array of natural beauty potions and supplements. All of that makes it a must-stop for seekers of good health. We especially love browsing through the latest herbal remedies, vitamins and skin care products—from old-fashioned Thayers witch hazel to the locally made Skincando.

The good news is the shop discounts most items and it will deliver, too.

The 2014 “Best of Bethesda” results are available in the January/February issue of Bethesda Magazine, or online starting March 3.
