Why isn’t this family allowed to have a DNA test to determine if body is that of their missing family member

SGC Admin: From our inbox to you…. We got the following in our inbox a little while ago, we have signed the petition, basically because we don’t see an issue with the information being given to the family…. We are unsure if signatures are still needed, but haven’t heard anything to the contrary yet, we will update this post when we do…. We wish this family closure and healed hearts…

19 years ago this week, my 17 year old brother Jay and five of his friends went missing while out on a boat in Lake Ontario on a cold windy night. The pain of not knowing where he is or what happened that night has been devastating for my family and especially my mom who was so close to him.

Now, there is a shred of hope that we might get answers. Remains were found in the Niagara river wearing red Levis jeans identical to the ones my brother was wearing that night. We need to know if it’s him and we’re pleading with the police to do a DNA test, but so far, the answer has been no.

People say time heals all wounds, but that can’t happen if you don’t have closure.

Will you sign my petition asking the police to do a DNA test on the remains found with the red Levis? Our family is even willing to pay for the DNA testing. We just need the police to agree.

Every year at this time our family goes down to Lake Ontario where he was last seen. Staring at the open water which is so cold this time of year I know we’re all thinking about those last moments.

My mom hasn’t come to the memorial since 1996. It’s just too hard for her. It took her years to accept that he wasn’t coming back. Now, knowing these remains exists, she told me, this is the closest she’s ever felt to having closure in all these years.

The police have said they don’t think the body can be his. The testing done on the bones when they were originally found showed that they were from a man age 25-60, but that’s a huge range and Jay was no ordinary 17 year old, but that’s not really the point anyway. Without a DNA test my mom will wonder for the rest of her life and we just need to know.

We’re amazed at the response so far. In a few days we’ve gathered over 5000 signatures and local news has been covering the story. With more signatures and people asking questions of the police, we’re sure they’ll do the right thing. Please sign our petition and help us find out if my brother has finally been found.

Thank you for helping our family find closure,

Amanda Boyle

Welcome Springtime!!!

Sensitivity Testing for Pollen/Dust/Mold

Those of you who have suffered in the past with environmental allergies, it is not too soon to start testing and working on getting your body ready for the spring allergy season. I am in the Whitby office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Don’t wait until you start to feel the symptoms. Enjoy this spring & summer symptom free! Remember, if you have pollen allergies you may also have food allergies and vice versa.

One of the first triggers of seasonal allergies is snow mold.

Chemical Allergies

We live in a world of continual environmental change. Most everything we come in contact with or eat contains some kind of chemical additive. Toxic and allergic chemicals are in the air and water. Many people end up at the Doctors with undiagnosed symptoms. Usually treated with some form of medication (eg.anti-depressants), when the cause could be an environmental hazard like coffee or cigarettes. 
Food Additives

Most additives have the potential to cause toxic and allergic reactions. Over 90% of foods at the grocery store contain some kind of additive. The average person consuming more than 10 -15 pounds of food additives per year.
Some of these additives may have the ability to change the digestive process and cause damage to the intestinal lining.
Chemical sensitivity can produce ANY symptom in any person, at any given time. The same chemical may cause headache in one person, and joint pain in another.

Top Four Food Additives

Sulfites
Used as preservative to keep foods from turning brown (wine, beer, citrus drinks,potato chips,dried fruit,frozen items)

Yellow Dye#5
Most food dyes are known carcinogens. It is a synthetic dye derived from coal tar. It is a causative agent in bronchial asthma. Found in cheese, cake mixes, canned vegetables,chewing gum, fruit juice, puddings, salad dressings,ice cream, jams, ketchup, baked goods, wine coolers, liqueurs and much more.

BHA/BHT
Both are preservatives. Mostly found in cereals, baked goods, frozen dinners, fruit drinks, chewing gum. BHA/BHT may affect the nervous system and are known to cause behavioral problems in children. BHT has been banned from all foods in England.

MSG
Used as a flavour enhancer. Occurs in large amounts in food. Many restaurants use MSG, especially fast food. MSG causes headaches, diarrhea, blurred vision,fatigue, hot flashes, numbness of the face, sweating, and palpitations. Prolonged exposure may cause brain damage. Children are very sensitive to MSG. Other names for MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, hydrolyzed yeast, vegetable powder, or natural flavours.

As part of the food sensitivity testing that I conduct, I always test for food additives. Food additives play a large role in many unexplained symptoms. Children especially, behavioral issues are frequently caused by a high sensitivity to food additives and sugars.

It is so important to read the labels on the foods you are buying.

If you don’t like reading labels, then buy food without labels!
