Dedicated to defending the rights of the accused and the presumption of innocence, Keith J. Williams fully understands Pennsylvania DUI law and the court system and will aggressively fight for your rights, work to protect you driver’s license, keep you out of jail, and reduce or eliminate other penalties. He will explain the many diverse programs that may be available such as ARD, flat sentences, house arrest and work release, and answer any question you may have. Should you be pulled over for suspicion of DUI or stopped at a sobriety checkpoint, follow these 5 steps: 1—Be cooperative, calm and courteous. Treat the police officer with respect and common courtesy. Combative behavior during a DUI stop can only hurt you. 2—Answer questions but do not volunteer information. Provide your drivers license, registration and insurance information, but do not volunteer any information that can be used against you later. 3—Do not refuse chemical testing. By carrying a drivers’ license, you give implied permission to submit to a test of your blood alcohol level. Refusal will result in a 12-month driver’s license suspension whether you’re convicted of a DUI or not. 4—Take notes. Write down as many details as you can remember from your DUI stop, no matter how insignificant. Do it before memory of the event fades. 5—Contact Keith J. Williams Law at 215-3401134 as soon as possible. Schedule your FREE confidential consultation with Keith J. Williams who will analyze your case and provide the strategy for an aggressive and affordable DUI defense! (See Display Ad on page 8)
through Holistic Practices & Self Care
Are Stopped for DUI in Pennsylvania Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious offense that carries serious penalties. But most people don’t realize how few drinks it takes to exceed the legal limit. Studies show that impairment happens well before many people consider themselves drunk. If you drink and drive, no matter how little alcohol is in your system, there’s a real possibility you could be stopped, arrested, and convicted of driving the influence. If you drink, don’t drive.

What to Do if You

Pennsylvania’s blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is 0.08% for general motorists, 0.04% for commercial drivers and 0.02% for drivers under the age of 21.
Ever wonder how some people are able to manage and thrive through difficult times as well as through bounty? Chances are these folks have strong, flexible, well built, and fully functioning containers through which they live their lives. Container? What does that mean? A container is a symbolic representation of one’s resiliency, adaptability, and ability to self-regulate through good times and bad. It is the filter through which one operates, functions, thrives, or dives. It is the foundation from which one motivates and the walls on which one leans. Take a moment and close your eyes, visualize the characteristics and state of your container.

Maybe your life is excellent right now, no complaints. However, no one is immune to the difficulties of life. Difficulties will eventually show up as physical ailments, loss and grief, trauma, physical and emotional pain, or financial strain. These difficulties can damage, crack, weaken, or flatten the container in which we are operating, rendering life an uphill battle that feels like it never ends. So what to do? Preventative care of the container is always best however not always possible. If you have found that your container is in a state of disrepair as a reflection of the difficulties of your life, past or present, the first place to begin is through a self-care plan. Commit to two weeks of focusing on repairing and rebuilding your container, you will begin to notice the positive differences in your well-being and your life. Self-care is any activity that you do to take care of your mental, physical and/ or emotional health. These are things that nourish rather than deplete. It is best to begin with the basics and plan accordingly. You can do this by scheduling self-care into your day. The basics are different for everyone but some examples include a 10 minute seated meditation to start the day, a 10 minute walk after work, and a calming tea and a self foot massage before bed. Sometimes your container may become so depleted that help is necessary. In this case, seek the assistance of a trained professional. Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy is a great place to begin as it integrates psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, nutrition, and Ayurveda together in a complete healing paradigm. For more information on Building your Container or about Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy, contact Kelly Reed, LCSW, RYT, ALC at kellytogo@gmail.com or 215-262-6736. (See Display Ad on page 23)
rid of the weeds. A well balanced program focuses on a three pronged approach to the rehabilitation process. The first step is to get rid of the weeds. Kill off as many of the bad bacteria and irritating fungus as possible. The second step is to re-seed the gut with good bacteria which will aid in digestion and keep out the fungus. Thirdly, we need to repair the damage that has been done to the epithelial lining of the intestines. This can be done holistically and naturally. In order to accomplish the first step, we need a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that is bio-compatible yet kills bacteria and fungus significantly. Use an enhanced aqueous colloid of silver that is optimized to clear the microbes out of your gut. It is best taken on an empty stomach and in bolus dosing of 2 ounces every 2 hours. This can be continued for two or three days with one bottle per day being consumed. Next, you need to re-seed with the probiotics of your choice. This will reestablish the fauna of bacteria necessary to support proper digestion and nutrient extraction from your food. The pro-biotic ingestion should be continued for at least a month. Exotic or expensive probiotics are not as important as providing them a welcoming environment. And you just did that by clearing out all the bad bacteria and fungus. The third step is to repair the damage that these pathogens have caused to the epithelial lining. This can be done in parallel with the re-seeding. Take a mixture of herbs that are designed to heal the tissues, increase mucus to protect the region and reduce histamine sensitivity allowing the intestines to re-build a healthy effective lining. We would suggest the following: Plantain, Licorice, Aloe Vera, Peppermint, Marshmallow root and Slippery Elm bark. Of course building new tissue requires some very basic building blocks. Take 2000mg of Vitamin C, 10,000 IUs of Vitamin D and a good B-complex daily. The GI tract is critical not only to absorption of nutrients through digestion, but also to the proper operation of your immune system. A non-functional or poorly functioning digestive system can cause a myriad of health problems as it produces nutritional deficiencies and a compromised immune system. (See Display Ad on page 9)
Digestive Rehabilitation The preservatives in food are designed to reduce spoilage by killing bacteria and fungus in the bread, cereal, canned and dried foods. Unfortunately, the preservatives do the same in your gut as they kill the bacteria that help you to digest food and absorb nutrients. Diets that are high in sugars and carbohydrates feed intestinal fungus like Candida. These fungus take over the gut and provide NO digestive help; only irritation of the tissues. But how do we fix the debilitated state in which we find ourselves at this point in our lives? If you have tried probiotics then you know that they can have a positive effect. But if your front yard was a huge crab-grass/weed patch, would you sprinkle thousands of dollars of high-quality seed on it expecting a beautiful lawn to emerge? Of course not. You would first get
Cranio-Cervical Syndrome Is it the true cause of your chronic condition? On May 27th, 1995, Christopher Reeve, the movie actor who played Superman, was thrown from his horse during an equestrian competition, sending him to the ground headfirst. The impact caused fractures in the first two bones of his neck, creating nerve interference and damage to his spinal cord. He spent the rest of his life as a quadriplegic and required a respirator to operate his lungs. Mr. Reeve’s story illustrates the importance of the craniocervical junction (CCJ), where the head/brain connect to the neck/body. It also helps us understand a newly identified medical condition called Cranio-

Cervical Syndrome (CCS) and its role in many seemingly unrelated chronic health problems ranging from chronic headaches to Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. First let’s look at the anatomy. The CCJ is comprised of the base of the skull, the first two bones in the neck (aka cervical spine), the brainstem, and a complex of major blood vessels, nerves and muscles in that region. This is where the spinal cord connects to the brainstem, providing millions of individual lines of communication between the brain and body. It is also the opening through which cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flows to remove metabolic waste from the brain. By way of the spinal cord the brain constantly monitors and adjusts vital life functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, posture, digestion, and respiration. This is, literally, how your life is maintained. But what happens when an upper cervical misalignment causes nerve signals to become blocked or distorted, or if normal CSF flow is disrupted? The book The Craniocervical Syndrome and MRI, describes how this bone misalignment can be the underlying cause of “a complex of symptoms which include disabling intractable migraine headaches, neck pain, [nerve and muscle pain], concentration and memory problems, visual disturbances, [coordination issues], nausea, [bodily function issues], and chronic pain.” The Merck Manual, a standard reference source for medical doctors, notes that “if the spinal cord or lowest part of the brain (brainstem) is affected [by Cranio-Cervical syndrome], people may have difficulty sensing vibration, pain, and temperature and may have weak muscles, dizziness, and impaired vision.” And at an MRI symposium on “The Vulnerability of the Human Neck and Its Impact on Cerebrospinal fluid flow,” a potential link between CranioCervical Syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases was discussed. LifeAligned Upper Cervical Treatment Center specializes in identifying and correcting misalignments of the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ)…without the need for drugs or surgery. Upper cervical treatment has helped thousands of patients achieve profound results. Perhaps it can help you too. Dr. Andrew Persky has received National Board Certification in Chiropractic Medicine and earned several post-graduate certifications in Upper Cervical Science. His extensive work in the field of Cranio-Cervical Syndrome sets him apart as a truly unique healthcare provider. (See Display Ad on page 2)
Anatomy of Breast & Lymphatic Health WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM & WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE? A system of vessels, fluid (plasma protein), and 400-1000 nodes running throughout the entire body that filter and destroy poisons caused by antigens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. which has infected the body. Subsequently, it removes these poisons from the body preventing the formation of disease. HOW DOES IT EFFECT THE BREASTS? The lymph fluid absorbs toxins, dead cell debri, foreign substances (ie dead parasites debris, etc.) and excess fluid from the blood stream and organs starting at the legs up through the body all the way to the Auxillary Lymph Node Group located in the area of the underarms, breasts and collar bone. All of the toxic waste debris that has reached that area is dumped into

the thoracic duct at the end of the lymph system and is then dumped through a further process into the bowels for elimination of the body. If the ALNG become clogged due to reasons that will be mentioned later, the breasts can become clogged with infectious, poisonous waste creating a disease state in the breast tissue. Furthermore, any stagnation of lymph in any area of the body, will lead to disease in that organ area. Some examples are hepatitis, urinary system infections (bladder & kidneys), IBS(Inflammatory Bowel) and related intestinal problems, pancreatitis, arthritis, prostatitis, vaginitis and etc. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONGESTED LYMPH - Frequent and/or chronic colds, flu, respiratory/sinus infections - Visibly swollen lymph glands - Soreness, esp. in morning upon waking - Itching and/or breakouts - Slow healing of wounds - Obesity/Cellulite - Auto Immune Diseases (Lupus, Sarcoidosis, Arthritis) - Bloating - Lymph fluid retention esp. in extremeties (legs, hands) - Excessive Sweating PROBABLE CAUSES - Dehydration- lack of enough water in the body keeps waste thick making it more difficult to move through the system - Lack of Exercise/Physical Activity – since the lymph fluid doesn’t have a pump, it must rely upon stimulation of the muscle tissue on the vessel to pump it upwards toward the thoracic duct in the chest. - Stress, Prolonged /Emotional Problems– constricts vessels slowing the lymph fluid movement - Toxic Food, Water – highly processed, nutrient deficient and chemically laced food creates excessive toxic buildup. REMEDIES FOR LYMPHATIC CONGESTION - Renee Caisse’s Original Herbal Tea Remedy – draws poisons to a head and dumps out of body. - Pau D Arco – cleans blood of yeast (candida), fungus, viruses, Chlamydia, Crohns (bacterial), tumors. Helps restore good bacteria. - Black Seed Bitters Tonic – Daily mild detox to deter build up of toxic waste. - Breast Care Balm – rub in to help release stagnation of lymph fluid and lumpiness in and around breasts. - Kapha Massage Oil – For all areas of the body. Use it warmed to increase circulation of lymph and blood. - Blis K12 Oral Biotics & Intestinal Probiotics – provides protection against overgrowth of bad bacteria in the mouth and intestines. - Super Enzymes – break down food in the digestive tract so that your body may receive maximum absorption of nutrients and to prevent undigested food accumulation on intestinal wall. - Banyan Tongue Cleaner - pulls infected plaque & mucus off tongue from back to front. Prevents re-infection of body. - Daily Swish – unique oil pulling formula that draws toxins from organs up through channels ending at the teeth. Also draws from between teeth & gums.

Let’s Meditate Philadelphia A special community event is coming to the City of Brotherly Love on Sunday, September 25 – Let’s Meditate Philadelphia. The “Let’s Meditate” program, held in cities around the world, has been developed to offer the genuine experience of meditation. For those new to meditation, it offers a simple and practical introduction. For the more experienced, it is an opportunity for an energizing group experience of peace and inspiration with live music, guided visualization and mantras. The programs are created and offered by skilled teachers, who have been practicing for decades under the direct guidance and teachings of spiritual Master Sri Chinmoy. We all know the value of peace of mind in our lives and the challenges that arise in our daily meditation practice. When we meditate in a group, meditation becomes much easier. It gives us a boost of encouragement to continue with our own individual practice at home. When people come together to meditate in a group, there is a special synergy that makes the meditation deeper and more powerful, which can lead to personal insights and a brighter way of seeing and experiencing the world. Let’s Meditate creates the uplifting group environment where everyone can enjoy meditation together. Let’s Meditate is always offered free of charge. All follow-up classes are free as well. The tradition of sharing spiritual truths, insights and teachings at no cost dates thousands of years back to a time when the Vedic seers first started to meditate and contemplate the meaning of life. Spirituality is the birthright of every human being. Let’s Meditate Philadelphia will be held at the Christ Church Neighborhood House, 20 North America Street (near 2nd and Market), from 4:30-6:00 pm on Sunday, September 25.
