Welcome Message by The Cofounder
“Very informative and has given be lots to think about.” – Pat M. Pickering, Ontario..
l
ooking at the quote that i have used, you'll see that it is not by a famous person. pat is simply someone who attended one of my lecturers and was impressed to leave a comment. She may not be a famous person but she is tremendously worthwhile in my eyes. it seems like today the world is becoming ever more jaded. it's been said that people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing. maybe it was the advent of telemarketing, or internet marketing or e-mail marketing that has left many people a bit disenfranchised by these methods. or perhaps they fear, dare i say, the dreaded multilevel marketing. it is really sad that people no long to take the time to pay attention to marketing. Somewhere in their mind they believe that someone is trying to sell something. one marketer has said that people hate to be sold but they love to buy. this really is sad. it is a sign of the decline of critical thinking skills within the individual person. an intelligent human being is able to analyse any information presented before that person and extract what is good while disregarding what is bad. never does the fear of new information enter into the mind of the individual. and this is why i selected pat’s quote above. it is because of the strength of mind and her will to succeed. She came out to hear new information that will be beneficial to her and her family. as we enter into the holidays, take this time to explore new things and new concepts which you can discuss with your families around the holiday dinner table. in this issue we have no shortage of new concepts and ideas. Dr heather takes us on a little journey through choosing heart healthy snacks for children and other members of the family. She also gives some tips on how you can interest your young children in these new foods so be sure to check out this article. Ryan is tackling the subject of binge eating. this is certainly a timely article for the season. i have said before that people sometimes forget how much they eat while enjoying a good meal with family members and friends. Ryan takes a hard look at this and provides some practical insights in his article. this season has changed. everything around us has changed. For those of us living in canada we can see the change and feel change in the environment. on some level regardless of where we are around the globe, we ought to consider that we need to make changes for the season. in this article we’ll look at practical steps to help you adjust your eating habits for the holiday season. Derryck, our resident man about town, reports on the success of the Raw Spirit Festival. Derek tries to capture the heart and soul of this in pictures and his story. Derek is also president of the Raw Spirit Festival and his point of view is worth considering. our December issue will focus on the best of 2010 so be sure to get that issue. i encourage you to forward this magazine to your friends and family member because they need to know this stuff. i enjoyed the magazine and know you will too. enjoy! peace and be well.

What is raw food? Raw food is food that is uncooked above 105 F. the raw food movement is based on the belief that raw foods contain their vital nutrients and enzymes for digestion and optimal health. when these foods are cooked, they lose a substantial part if not all of the nutritive value. in essence, the raw Foodist considers cooked food to be dead because it is devoid of most of its

NOVEMBER 2010 Edition beneficial nutrient value. Why eat raw foods? we already eat raw foods today. think of when you eat a raw carrot or an orange. think of that big yummy slice of watermelon. unfortunately, for too many people, they do not get enough servings of raw food per day. the typical raw Foodist aims at getting anything more than 50% of their food intake raw. uncooked foods contain their own enzymes necessary for the breakdown of that particular food. when you cook the food, the body must then use its own enzyme store to breakdown the cooked food. For example, a raw celery stick contains the vitamins, nutrients and enzymes necessary to breakdown the celery. when you cook the celery, you lose the enzymes and some nutrients. keep the sweetness level under control. Some Cooked Dishes You Can Make Raw. Raw Pumpkin Pie (Thanksgiving Dish) what would the holidays be without a traditional pumpkin pie? well, for those of you that would love to enjoy a tasty pumpkin pie but would also like to stick to a healthy choice, there is always the raw pumpkin pie. Being raw it still contains all the vital nutrients and enzymes needed for proper digestion and assimilation of the food. Your ingredients can be the best freshest and the most tasty. also you can substitute a natural alternative to sugar such as Stevia as your sweetener. Raw Ice-cream (Good for any holiday) Raw ice cream is so delicious. and once again when preparing your raw ice cream you have the option of using organic, raw, ripe and fresh ingredients. it is quite easy to make raw ice cream and if you already have the necessary equipment to make ice cream you'll find it fun using fresh ingredients. Raw Pecan Pie (Christmas Dessert) there are many people that love pecan pie. it is a raw dish that there is an excellent alternative to the conventional baked pecan pie. however in this recipe it would be advisable to ensure that you

Raw Cookies (Good for any holiday) Raw cookies are really fast to make and can be very helpful when you're in a time crunch. take for example a carob nut cookie. it has only three ingredients. these are your raw nuts (cashews or walnuts or pecans), your carob powder, and about a cup of soaked raisons. Blend it up in the food processor until sticky and roll into the little balls on a serving tray. there are countless combinations of nuts and other ingredients that you can combine to make your own raw cookie creation. Kids and adults will love these raw cookies. and if you should happen to run out, you can make a new batch in a snap. i personally enjoy making raw crackers. they are not sweet but boy are they crunchy. in order to make these you would need a dehydrator if you wanted to make your own crackers. if you would like to start out with some simple recipes why not check out your local library and borrow a raw food book. once you see it as something that you can do and you would like to continue doing it then make the investment and purchase your own raw books for your personal library. happy holidays to you.

HOW TO
RECOVER FROM
HOLIDAY
BINGEEATING bY RYAN kRANE ecovering from the binge eating festivities that are all-too common this time of year starts with preparing the mind beforehand. how you think about the upcoming holiday season will greatly influence how far off course your eating habits will or will not stray. many make the mistake of setting impossible dietary restrictions. if pumpkin pie is your favorite food in the world, for instance, don’t restrict yourself from enjoying a slice on thanksgiving. Just be sure to restrict yourself from enjoying multiple slices every night of the week of thanksgiving. instead of seeing the holiday season as three all-youcan-eat months, focus on the few holidays that will realistically present an opportunity for you to overindulge and binge eat, like thanksgiving, christmas, and new Years eve. this is a fundamental mental adjustment that will go a long way. if you see the holiday season as a few key days to pay attention to, curbing the craving to binge eat will feel far less overwhelming and much more manageable. and when/if you do find yourself binge eating, compensate for it by exercising more. Get off the couch and go for a walk. if you know you’re going to eat too much on a specific evening, go for jog that morning. every effort you make to stay active and diet-conscious throughout the holiday season will leave you with that much less to recover from. there is an old english proverb that goes, “hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” when preparing your mind for

the holidays, you can hope that you won’t cave-in to the tempting food all around you, but you owe it to yourself to prepare for the worst case scenario. Remember, the holiday season is a time of year when multiple weight-gaining factors align. colder weather leads to less exercise, more layers of clothes, fewer body-image motivations, general laziness, and boredom; all of which am-

plify the instinct to eat unnecessarily. on top of the cold weather, holidays bring together family, which can be a beautiful thing, but often times makes for a stressful occasion with larger-than-normal portions of food readily available. Stress can often lead to binge eating, and drinking too much alcohol. alcohol consumption is often compensated by eating more food ... and so on. in short, retain hope that you will feel fewer urges to binge eat, but prepare for and expect the usual urges. the more conscious you remain of the factors working against your long-term fitness goals, the less likely you are to succumb to holiday binge eating ... if only to less of an extent than last year. come January, any progress you make will come in handy. and no matter how far off course you stray, you can always recover in the new Year (it just may take longer than you prefer).
cause. Don’t get down on yourself. Don’t you want to look and feel great for next year’s holiday season? instead, own up to the collateral damage caused by your binge eating. check out your body in the mirror and ask yourself, “what’s changed since last summer? and what can i do to get my body back to that level of fitness?” Don’t Let Your Taste Buds Take Over Binge eating is all about instant gratification; with every bite, the taste buds are gratified for your choice of food. all of your organs might be struggling as a result—your waistline expanding, heart working overtime, stomach stretching-out—but your taste buds remain grateful. a big part of getting back into shape is addressing the disconnection between your overall health and the level of satisfaction experienced by your taste buds. For months now you have been spoiling your taste buds, and in the new Year, a little tough love may be in order. like a spoiled child who always gets what he wants, your taste buds need to relearn patience and how to feel satisfied with fewer, healthier bites. Depending on how far off-course you strayed, the difficulty in this goal will vary from person to person.
Returning to Fitness After the Holiday Binge the new Year arrives and you’re ready to get back into shape. the simple truth is that the more you were able to hold back the urge to binge throughout the holidays, the easier your return to fitness is bound to be. there are psychological hurdles, such as quitting your favorite foods all over again, and several physical challenges to overcome. maybe your taste buds have never been happier, but the same can’t be said for your digestive system, or the fat accumulating in your “problem areas,” or your stretched-out stomach from all the largerthan-usual portions. Give Yourself a Break many people can start to feel depressed after the holidays. You return to your normal routines a little heavier, a little lazier, and with tons of leftovers in the fridge. this is often how cycles of weight gain get their jump-start: post-holiday depression can make fitness aspirations feel like a lost

would marry a minister even though i hadn’t even met him yet. i journeyed down the path of my life and went to college, met and married my minister husband, and had three beautiful children before i took a deep breath and plunged into one of the most exciting rides of my life – nursing school. i loved nursing school. my favorite class was anatomy and physiology. it is here i learned how fearfully and wonderfully made we actually are. what an awesome God to so intricately design the human body and bring life from the dust of the earth. there are experiences in school that i will never forget
and experiences that i continue to have that remind me just how precious is life and how important it is for one human to touch another. i was given the assignment one week to care for a woman with metastatic to bone breast cancer. there literally was no place on her frail body that wasn’t touched by the disease. every turn, you would hear a bone crack just a little. every turn, you would feel the bones that were already broken and pray that your touch would not cause more pain. my prayer those two days were to do no harm. my prayer was to be able to gently bath her, and maybe

bring a small amount of relief from her suffering with a tender, caring touch. that event so touched my life, i eventually became a cancer nurse. During our semester in pediatrics, we all had our turn with Joy. (not her real name) She was three, and had been born premature to a drug addicted mother. She was cared for by her grandmother. her mother was in and out of jail due to prostitution and drugs. Joy had short gut syndrome due to complications from her prematurity and multiple surgeries. it was hard to keep her potassium levels normal. She was fed by tube feedings for optimal nutrition. her teeth had rotten areas due partially to still getting a milk bottle. we were all scared at first to care for her because her needs were many, and her medications were complicated. her smile could warm anyone. we all loved her, held her, and allowed her to touch our heart. we all wanted to be a little judgmental toward Joy’s mother whom we had never met. Joy’s physician told me that her mother loved Joy very much and for me to look past the troubled woman, and see the heart of the mom. i saw her differently that day. So on the last day of that class, when we got word that Joy had coded and died, and that the hospital tried their best to get Joy’s mom to the picu before she died, my heart cried; for the
little girl who was no more, and for the mom, who through her circumstances lost out on so much. the caring factor was so important to me. i didn’t realize until many years later, and i was taking more nursing classes there were others who felt the same way. i realized we were nurses practicing in a scientific medical model. i don’t discount the fact we as nurses need to understand the science. what i began to realize is the scientific had taken away from the emphasis on the caring. i discovered nurse theorists like Dr. Jean watson and her 10 caritas. (caring factors) as a cancer center manager i had implemented many caring practices in the clinic. it is just as important to me that a woman has a nice wig and feels good about herself during treatment, or that a woman can know where to get a breast prosthesis when she can’t afford one so she doesn’t have to stuff her bra with socks. today, i share with families how to touch their loved one or express feelings when they just are at a loss for what to do or say. when i care for a patient, i am also caring for their family. Families feel helpless when they have a terminal loved one. i had some soothing essential oils in my nursing bag the other day. a family member had expressed she loved aromatherapy and
a eating4eternity.org / Durham Raw Food Society publication
wished she had some for her mother’s feet. we used a few drops of lavender and lotion, and she rubbed her mama’s feet. i am not sure who received a healing that day, the daughter, the mama, or probably both. healing is not curing. healing of the mind, body, and spirit is so important. my patients are not their disease. i have a passion to share with others how to incorporate the much needed caring into their practice, and to share with family caregivers how they can be instrumental in the healing journey. as i share with others in a realm of prevention, better health, and caring, the emphasis is on wellness. wellness encompasses more than the physical. each area touches the other. i am Joyce harrell. i am a nurse.

NOVEMBEr 2010 Edition Clean Out the Fridge Surround yourself with healthy, delicious, fresh foods. trying to save a couple bucks living on fattening leftovers is not the way you want to start the year. Give the food away or throw it away; just get rid of it. then clean out your fridge with warm water and soap. Resetting your diet and getting back in shape is tough enough on its own, you don’t need to be questioning whether or not your foods are staying cool in a clean, sanitary environment. Fresh fruit, for example, can compensate for your sweet tooth. instead of thinking to yourself, “a pumpkin pie would really hit the spot right now,” ask yourself, “what would be a healthy way to satisfy my craving for pumpkin pie?” make a grocery list with these healthy alternatives in mind. Don’t Put Off Getting Back into Shape “next week” is usually the best-sounding time to start taking your health seriously, but always the least effective. Because you know what will sound best when “next week” comes around? the following “next week.” January is a month that is usually free from over-indulgence occasions, so take advantage of it before the Super Bowl comes around and you have to confront all the familiar temptations. every week you put off dieting can add another month of recovery time, especially if your weight continues to climb. Don’t Buy a New Wardrobe the last thing you want to do is buy a new wardrobe because your clothes are starting to feel snug. when your clothes are snug, you can’t help but tighten your stomach muscles. have you ever tried to overeat
18
while holding in your gut? it’s nearly impossible. use the snugness of your clothes to your advantage. if you need clothes that fit better, work on getting your body to fit your clothes, not the other way around. Stay Positive the only way to change the past is to learn from it and not repeat it. maintaining a positive attitude is essential for a successful recovery after a season of holiday binge eating. positivity leads to productivity which leads to momentum. a new Year diet will only succeed if you can create enough momentum for you to ride during those moments of weakness, when you feel tempted by the drive-thru, tempted to make yourself an unnecessary second plate of food, tempted to watch more television instead of hitting the gym. Fueled by your commitment to fitness and supported by a positive attitude, momentum will help you get through even the most challenging day. and if you do indulge, let your positivity, productivity, and momentum steer you back on course. When In Doubt, Seek Advice Be honest with yourself and whether or not you possess the self-discipline necessary to get your diet and waistline back on track. Depending on the distance between your fitness goals and daily routines, a personal trainer and certified nutritionist who can jump-start your motivation, and plan a diet that is catered to your cravings and likings, may be the best investment you have ever made for your mind, body, and the future of both.

weight or to have less weight to get rid of come spring. the affordable winners to continue to keep our slim and trim body over the winter season or minimise the weight gain during that time. #1: Do not give into temptation to overeat people tend to get excited at family gatherings and at times they may forget the size of their own stomachs and overeat. other times it will mean schedule 2 or three visits on or wrong in specific holiday and on each visit their encouraged to eat a big meal. in fact, even without a family gathering as an excuse, people today overeat. take for example a bagel. it has grown from a 3-inch diameter, 20 years ago to a whopping 6-inch diameter and 350 calories. next take a look at popcorn. popcorn is the traditional snack when watching movies. But just look at how it has grown from a 5-cup portion 20 years ago to a whopping tub. we have not become giants that re-
quire more food so monitor your portion size and your frequency of meals this holiday season. #2: Eat at the Right Times (No Night Eating) in the universe that we live in is designed to run on cycles. think of the sun and the earth and the other planets. they all rotate around the sun on a set cycle. For us on planet earth, we know that 365 days equals to one revolution of the earth around the sun. we also know that the daily rotation of the earth is 24 hours. the moon rotates around the earth and with its cycle, it affects the tides of the ocean (and some women). human beings and indeed all of nature is designed to run on a set cycle. therefore as an enlightened human being we ought to recognise within ourselves that we function on a cycle. if we suppose that each day has 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, then we would sleep during the night hours and be awake and active during the daylight hours. we know that we do not eat while we are sleeping. thus, we should reduce our caloric intake several hours before bedtime. i would say about 3 to 4 hours. a normal bedtime would be about 2 to 3 hours after dark where you have 12 hours of darkness. So putting this all to-

november 2010 Edition gether, your last meal should be roughly one hour to 30 minutes before sunset. in canada, where we have sunset at 4 pm in winter, you should eat your last meal at 3 pm. this meal should be light and easy to digest so as not to stress your digestive system. if you feel hungry at 7 pm or later, then hydrate your body with water. most people can live 30 days without food so you can go without food for a couple of hours to support your digestion. paul nison, world famous author and raw food chef, has written a book called the Daylight Diet, which has excellent information on the subject of when to eat meals. #3: Incorporate More Raw Foods and Green Juices into your diet By now many people are waking up to the fact that adding more raw, ripe, fresh, organic foods into the diet is beneficial. and this is a good thing. During the winter months you should do your best to incorporate some of these foods into your diet. if you have a juicer to try making fresh and choose from seasonal fruits available. also increase your intake of green juices or green smoothies. this is important for many reasons. First, you will get the benefit of having your nutrients and enzymes delivered to you in a liquid form when you juice. Secondly Green juices and contain chlorophyll. chlorophyll is an excellent nutrient for the blood. it is a cleanser. Green juices also have the benefit of promoting more oxygen in the blood and reduction of clumping of blood cells. During the winter time you especially want your circular system to be working and its op-

timal level to get warmth and nutrients to the extremities of your body. #4: Reverse the size order of your meals most people tend to eat from small to large. that is, they eat a small breakfast, a bigger lunch and a huge dinner. this may be good in the summer time when we have more daylight hours but in the winter, we would have too much food in our stomach at night or while it is dark outside. typical order: Small Breakfast g medium lunch g large Dinner new order: large Breakfast g medium lunch g Small Dinner this tip is not about eating but it is good advice for those of us experiencing the harsh cold of winter. Bonus Tip: Bundle Up where the deposition of that on the body is a form of natural defence against the cold atmosphere around our bodies, then it makes sense to simply dress warmer during the winter season. Sometimes i see young ladies dressed for spring or fall, not winter. when anything is i've been coming to that the body will now receive stimuli which will encourage it to store at a wrong those areas that are not properly covered. So bundle up this winter season. it will reduce the stress on your body trying to regular your temperature in the extreme cold. in november, i will be speaking in toronto. the website for all the details is http://health2010.eventbrite.com. have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.

that is the title of a french movie. it's a story about a very evolved civilization living on a planet called (if i would dare translate) ''the Beautiful Green''. Who is Chantale Roy? chantale Roy has been living her childhood on a green paradise like ''la Belle verte''. more than 800 acres of fields and forests enchanted her and allowed her to see life as an opportunity to manifest her dearest dreams. enjoying the delight of being alive always meant for her: being authentic, exploring her talents and sharing her gifts. her sensitivity and closeness to nature led her to experiment, like everyone, joyful events and painful ones too. Still, the memory of the green paradise led her to believe that a life exempt of sufferings was her ultimate dream. if she could live that way as a little girl, on an ordinary farm in Quebec, there would certainly be a way or different ways for every human being to achieve it. through the challenges of her journey as an adult, different angels showed up to remind her this dream. in 2004, living light culinary art institute inspired her so much that she went back to Quebec in her hometown to open her first raw food restaurant ''tout cru Dans l'Bec''.

Raw Spirit Festival 2010
A Phenomenal Success! DERRYck LAMpTEY he Raw Spirit Festival 2010 took place in prescott, arizona from the 24th to the 26th of September 2010. prescott is about 5000 feet above sea level, and the 100km drive from phoenix to prescott shows off the astonishing variety of landscapes and terrains that arizona has to offer. little surprise that phoenix is home to the most number of canucks after Florida, and has a thriving hockey team! watson lake park itself is an amazing location to have hosted the Raw Spirit Festival. the park provides
t
26
sufficient amenities for year-round camping, and facilities for renting canoes and kayaks to explore the lake which nearly encircles the park. this year, only one festival has been organised, this one spanned three days (instead of the normal two days), and featured a dazzling array of raw chefs, musicians, and guest presenters. the full list of performers can be seen at www.rawspiritfest.com. the chefs performed their magic at the "hilltop pagoda", an open-air structure sitting at the highest point in watson lake park, so it

november 2010 Edition was breezy even at the hottest part of the day (close to 40 degrees in the day). the chef challenge was a fund-raiser event run for local charities, and offered the chefs to bake off with each other to create amazing dishes, and people bid on the dishes. the chef's hilltop pagoda was always packed to capacity! the performers were split across two main stages - the meadow stage (near to the food and vendor stalls) and the lake stage (with a calming view of the watson lake). the lake stage had non-stop music from 10am to 8pm each day, the meadow stage had musicians slotted in between a fantastic array of speakers. Some of my favourite speakers (paul nison and tim van orden) did not make it out to arizona, but i had a great time listening to those that presented. For those in search of quiet time and mind-body healing, the healing Dome featured a wide variety of healing practitioners, ranging from chiropractors to blood analysis work, and others to help facilitate the healing process. the children's program was held in a custom-built teepee, and featured everything from marimba lessons to hoola hooping lessons for kids and adults to yoga classes for kids. i enjoyed participating in the Kids yoga class with Koya webb, most of the fun came from the comments that the kids made! the most common regret that i heard from the attendees was that they could not simultaneously be in all the places that they would have liked to have been. the nights were a cool 10 - 15 degrees, anyone visiting prescott in September for camping is well-advised to carry a couple of fleeces and a good ground mat! the prescott air is thinner, due to the altitude, so you can feel breathless after a short walk, but the body adjusts to the altitude in a couple of days by manufacturing red blood cells! prescott has astoundingly green vegetation, compared to the rest of phoenix, and the air is sparkling and crisp.
Derryck lamptey is a member of the Durham Raw Food Society in ontario, canada and a raw food enthusiast. he is also president of the Raw Spirit Festival. Derryck wears many hats in and around the raw food community and is always a fun person to be around. this year, as the Raw Spirit onsite volunteer coordinator, he worked with an amazing set of volunteers from 4 continents, and he reports having an amazing experience with such warm people.

Sessions - wild woman and the walk-about session with Katrina Blair, David carmos Movies - "wild edible plants" all in all, everyone managed to find their silence in the hectic pace of the festival, and i spoke to thousands of people. they all had a great time (a few people complained about the mosquitoes at night, and a few people wanted the music to end earlier)
28
my lasting impressions of prescott - the pristine prescott air, the crisp nights which allow you to see the stars with amazing clarity, the warmth of the prescott people and the perfect camping weather. we had two weeks of rainless weather. i am pleased that the next Raw Spirit will be held at prescott, and i am already looking forward to it! For the second year running, the Raw Spirit Festival is hosting a winter rejuvenation retreat in maui in the middle of February, 2011. while the cuisine will be raw vegan, the retreat will feature whole-body and mind healing sessions (yoga, meditation, breathing and pranayama, etc) more details at www.rawspirit.com or heavenly@rawspirit.com the Raw Spirit Festival is a registered 501c3 charity, with a mission to provide educational outreach related to healthy living, and incorporating more greens into our lives.

INSPIRATION
his month’s inspiration is from an olympic runner who finished last! now you are probably asking yourself how is it possible for somebody who finished last to be an inspiration? as far as i know there are no awards being given for last place, at least not the ones that want to show appreciation. Go back in your mind if you will to the olympics of 1992. For the young runner coming to Barcelona to compete in the 400m race was his dream. he was a runner who overcame tremendous obstacles in his career. Several years earlier he had injured his achilles tendons. But he was a fighter. he went through the agonising process of undergoing operations over a four-year period. he had trained hard. he knew he was ready for this. his father, Jim, nurtured the young boy to become the man that he had become. in Barcelona both were going to share the victory in the achievement of dreams of the runner.
t
as the race is about to start we see the runners take their positions at the starting line. Ready, set, bang. the starter pistol goes off. our runner is off to a marvellous start. he is keeping pace with the runners and is ahead of a few. then suddenly at around the 250m mark something terrible happened. he felt as if he had been shot in the leg. the pain was so intense that our runner fell to the ground in a haze of pain and confusion. he cries out in excruciating pain. his leg refused to function. at that moment, so many thoughts seem to whirl through his mind amidst the agonizing pain. he would later be quoted in london’s the Guardian newspaper as saying, “everything i had worked for was finished. i hated everybody. i hated the world... and i hated it all. i felt so bitter...” he was down and his life up until that moment in time was flashing before his eyes. thousands of eyes look at the fallen runner from the stands of the olympic stadium and indeed the millions of other eyes watching on television. as medics came towards the runner something unbelievable happened. against the odds, against the pain, against certain defeat, the runner stood up. he began to hop on one leg trying to finish the race. he had 150 m to go. there was a hush over the crowd. the tv cameras caught the runner in tears screaming in pain as he hopped along the track. Suddenly a man ran unto the track towards the runner. there was an exchange of words as the runner hopped along and the man walking beside him. after what seemed liked an eternity the runner placed his arm over the shoulder of the man and they
a eating4eternity.org / Durham Raw Food Society publication
both began the trip down that final stretch of track. Jim, our runner’s father, had run onto the field and spoke to his son about the race. when his son would not quit, Jim did what a father could do. he placed his son’s arm around him for support and supported him to the finish line. walking together with tears in their eyes, they would finish what they had started together. london’s the Guardian newspaper quotes our runner, “. i felt so bitter that i was injured again. i told myself i had to finish. i kept hopping round. then, with 100 metres to go, i felt a hand on my shoulder. it was my old man.” the love of a father and the determination of attaining the dream of a runner converged on the track that faithful day.they crossed the finish line. there was a standing ovation in the stands of that olympic stadium and one could imagine the cheers of the millions around the globe. they all saw the fullness of the human spirit taking flight against the odds. the runner was Derek Redmond. not many people remember who was first, second or third but most of the people whose heart was touched that day will remember Derek. may you find the support you need to run your own race and finish with dignity. peace and be well. – Jenny Berkeley Rn, health educator to view the race set to music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =eDgvske63cY&feature=player_e mbedded to view the race no music: http://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=nifq3Ke2Q30&feature=player_ embedded

Odds and Ends In The Canadian Press
( These story headlines caught my attention in the last month and I wanted to highlight them.) • Canada ill-prepared for pandemic: CMA head Canada is still vulnerable to the risks posed by a pandemic because the health system is not ready for a surge in patients, the head of the Canadian Medical Association said. • Alberta ER doctors fear 'catastrophic collapse' Alberta emergency department doctors are warning of a potentially catastrophic collapse of emergency care if wait times are not reduced immediately. • VIDEO: Growth charts for babies change When a baby ranks below average on a growth chart, parents often worry about their infant's nutrition. But as CBC's Dan Halton found, health authorities in Canada and the U.S. say the problem might not be with the child but the guidelines. ******* Links courtesy of Water4Vitality.com (check it out!)

)HHGEDFN $ERXW -HQQ\ ³6SURXWTXHHQ´ %HUNHOH\ I found her professional background informative and very interesting and I think her medical training definitely helps to add validation to her new passion of helping educate the public about maintaining a healthy body. There are so many "experts" out there who profess to be knowledgeable about health & nutrition but they lack a professional background of medical training to help validate their claim. Jenny is well educated in the conventional medical field and knows very well what is lacking in our health care system. It is refreshing to see someone step out of the arena of conventional medicine and convey what is truly missing. Her belief that it's back to the basics, naturally, and without pharmaceutical intervention is certainly welcomed. S.R. via email
