It's great to be back! We hosted our first in-person event in well over a year in Providence, RI for our BioMed Programs; Find out the benefits of Intravenous (IV) therapy as a way to deliver nutrients to the body; and answer the call to become a "Food Citizen"!

We're moving forward with the Southcoast Food Policy Council - the newest emergency food partnership on the Southcoast; June was the month for planting at New Bedford's Public elementary schools in Grow Education; and in the BioBlog: Understanding Histamine Intolerance.

IV Therapy combines the latest in healthcare science and technologies to deliver patients with the tools they need to improve health and healing. In this article, Dr. Dickson Thom, DDS, ND speaks to the benefits of IV therapy and its safe use as a treatment option.

The newest emergency food provider partnership on the Southcoast began in January 2021 with the Shah Foundation, Stock Pot Malden, and a committed group of community partners. In six months, we have delivered 285,952 catered breakfasts and lunches to children, 18 years and younger, in Wareham, New Bedford, and Fall River. Now, the Southcoast Food Policy Council is turning its attention to setting up the infrastructure of the Food Policy Council. As the Food Policy Council emerges, we will have several Working Groups.

We love food and it is an integral part of our lives. Food is part of an extensive system impacted by COVID, climate change, and other factors that have disrupted our fragile supply chain. We must simultaneously address strategies to improve health, education, grow economies, and concretize climate change solutions because the systems are interrelated. We think globally and critically in big systems, but we act locally.

June is the month for planting with New Bedford's public elementary schools! Students and teachers alike have been excited to get outside and put their hands in the dirt after a long and often virtual school year. Read more about what's grow-ing on at Grow Education!

Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can create major disruptions to feelings of health and wellness, contributing to a variety of symptoms as histamine toxicity is expressed throughout the body. In this article, Dr. Martin Hart of the Biologix Center for Optimum Health sheds light on HIT and offers hope for those suffering from this condition. Join us for our next BioBites on July 6th, 2021 to learn more about HIT with Dr. Hart.
