Jonathan Safran Foer on Conscious Eating to Save the Planet
by Julie Peterson
Jonathan Safran Foer, the prize-winning author of bestselling novels that include Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, turned to nonfiction in his 2009 book, Eating Animals, about the morality of food choices in a factory-farm age. His most recent book, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast, argues that only collective action will save our home and way of life, and it starts with what is on our plate.
He points out that there’s often a painful disconnect between the way we think of ourselves and the actions that we take that inadvertently and negatively affect the planet, and that science can help us make more informed choices.
For anybody who has even the tiniest amount of curiosity about human interaction with the climate, it’s something you can’t possibly avoid learning about. The science is readily available now, and it’s extremely comprehensive. It’s important to continuously come back to that scientific consensus to make clear that this is nobody’s theory or perspective. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree.
How did you make the connection between diet and climate change?
Did anything in researching climate science surprise you?
There’s a lot that startled me. A lot that scared me. I was surprised by how wrong we have been and how wrong we often are about what matters… putting the emphasis in the wrong places or not knowing where to put it at all. There are four activities that matter more than all others in terms of an individual’s relationship with the environment: having fewer children, eating less meat or animal products, flying less and driving less. As somebody who has spent a lot of time recycling and not using plastic straws, I was surprised to learn that those activities are very low impact compared to the four I mentioned. I was surprised by how broad that misunderstanding is. Think about our response to coronavirus compared to our response to climate change. The way governments are acting together to do what needs to be done for a virus makes it all the more puzzling how ineffectual the response to climate change is.
If people can’t do everything that needs to be done, what small steps can they take that will have a collective impact?
We all need to question what our own limits are, what we can do and then do that with rigor. We don’t need to stop flying, we just need to do it a lot less. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to suddenly become vegan.

I think a better idea is to eat as few animal products as possible, and if that amount is zero, great. If it’s once a week or once a day, then that’s a hell of a lot better than doing nothing. Rather than measuring the distance from some ethical perfection, we want to measure the distance from doing nothing at all.
Why is it such a struggle for people to follow through on climate change goals?
I think that if we approach change as if it isn’t difficult, then we diminish our chances of being able to sustain change. A lot of the things we need to give up are fun. It’s a shame we can’t solve climate change by not eating broccoli; we would have done it already.
Climate change requires a different sort of moral imagination because, realistically, you and I aren’t going to die because of it. Human nature makes it more difficult to have an energetic response for something less immediate.
What call to action would you like to convey?
We have a feeling of helplessness, a feeling that there’s nothing we can do, but there is a lot that we can do and must do. The easiest and most powerful way to begin is with what we eat. That doesn’t mean you become vegan tomorrow, but tomorrow is a wonderful time to start eating fewer animal products. It’s a journey, not an event.

Shine On
by Nicole Zornitzer
Today, I splurged. Today, I gave myself permission to take three yoga classes taught by my tribe members. Today, I realized the importance of self-acceptance.
In one of our dharma talks, we were taught that we need to accept where we are in this very moment, who we are in this very moment and how we feel in this very moment in order to shine. Many of us rise with frantic thoughts, experiencing moments of anxiety, frustration, fear, anger and sadness. Today, I experienced all of those emotions before the sun rose.
We were encouraged to recite how we actually felt, and this is what came up for me:
I am scared. I am angry. I am frustrated. I am lonely. I am fearful.
If we accept how we actually feel versus how we want to feel, we have taken the biggest step in acceptance and the creation of positivity in our world. It is okay to feel uncertain and vulnerable. It is through these moments that we are our most authentic selves. We arrive exactly as we were meant to arrive: ourselves.
Sometimes, shining brilliantly requires moving through the mud and tangled weeds that seem to be holding us down, much like the lotus flower and its journey into life.
This also reminds me of the words a wise woman once said, “In the yoga community, these are the moments we have been training for our entire life. We are taught the ability to withdraw the senses; we are taught finding power through breathing techniques; we are taught enduring pain by using the tools we are given in yoga… and here we are—prepared and finely trained for this very moment.”
Shining may not always appear as brilliant as our imaginations think shining should appear. We have the ability to shine even when we feel the dullest. We have the ability to shine in times of discomfort. We have the ability to shine by simply being who we are at all times.
So be yourself, accept who you are and appreciate how your perception of life changes from day to day. Shine on my dear, shine on.

Copper in a new cold prevention device is shown to stop sinus trouble and cold sores, too.
These problems are caused by microbes, such as viruses and bacteria. Microbes multiply quickly. If you don’t stop them early, they spread and cause misery.
In hundreds of studies, EPA and university researchers have confirmed that viruses and bacteria die almost instantly when touched by copper.
That’s why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn’t know about microbes, but now we do.
Scientists say the high conductance of copper disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell and destroys the cell in seconds.
Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the teams confirming the discovery. He placed millions of disease germs on copper. “They started to die literally as soon as they touched the surface,” he said.
Tests by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) also show germs die fast on copper. So some hospitals tried copper for touch surfaces like faucets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives.
The strong scientific evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. In 2012, he invented a copper device used in the nose to stop colds. Now thousands of users have completely stopped getting colds. Many have stopped sinus trouble, cold sores, and more.

Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache when her CopperZap arrived. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.”
A man in Connecticut said, “I was born with sinus problems. This is the only thing that has worked.”
Another man had suffered severe sinus problems for years. The condition was so bad it ruined family vacations and even dinners out with friends. His wife, Judy, bought two CopperZaps, one for each of them.
He was totally skeptical. “Oh, Judy,” he said, “you’re such a whack job!” But she got him to try it and, to his surprise, the copper cleared his sinuses.
Judy and their daughter both said, “It has changed our lives!”
Since then Judy has given CopperZaps as gifts to a number of relatives and friends, not just for sinus relief but also for colds and the other problems copper can prevent. They all say it works, she reports. People have used copper on cold sores and say it can completely prevent outbreaks. Users say they felt a tingle in their lip and knew a dreaded cold sore was coming. They pressed the handle on the tingly spot for 5 minutes, and repeated several times that day.
The tingle went away and the cold sore either never erupted or was tiny and brief.
One woman said, “I have tried every product on the market over the past 20 years. Some made it a little better, but this actually stopped it from happening in the first place! I was amazed.” Mary from Colorado said, “I used to get cold sores a lot. Now I don’t.”
Some users say copper stops nighttime stuffiness if used just before bed. One man said, “Best sleep I’ve had in years.”
Copper can also stop flu if used early and for several days. Lab technicians placed 25 million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were found alive soon after.
The handle is curved and finely textured to improve contact. It kills germs picked up on fingers and hands to protect you and your family.
Copper even kills deadly germs that have become resistant to antibiotics. A moment of handling it may keep serious infection away.
The EPA says copper still works even when tarnished. It kills hundreds of different disease germs so it can prevent serious or even fatal illness.

The Holistic Dental Center
Working Together with Other Holistic Practitioners to Create a True Holistic Approach to Your Health
Ateam approach to your overall health and it starts at the Holistic Dental Center in Millburn, New Jersey, with their highly skilled team of trained professionals in holistic and biological dentistry. From their award winning doctors and their state of the art technology to their use of ozone and self-healing therapies, they are committed to not only treating your dental related symptoms, but also, the root cause thereby eliminating disease and promoting optimal health.
Little did conventional practitioners know so many years ago that it took more than just looking at the mouth. A generation ago there was a disconnect, a thought that our mouth and teeth had no bearing on the health of the rest of our body. Now more and more research has been showing that there is a strong connection between dental disease and systemic health. Dr. Gashinsky, Holistic Dentist, has always known that. A holistic approach to health is multifaceted, so he has built a network of healthcare practitioners to assist his patients in obtaining their desired level of optimal wellness.
Working hand in hand with Naturopaths, Functional Medicine practitioners and many others in the field of holistic medicine has expanded Dr. Gashinsky’s ability to help more people. “I find it to be incredibly fulfilling to work synergistically with these practitioners to be able to improve patients’ health so dramatically. Some are coming to me so very sick and by working together we’re seeing drastic improvements in their quality of life,” says Dr. Gashinsky.
Dr. Gashinsky feels strongly in the need to practice in such a manner as to take patients whole health into consideration. So much so, that he traveled to Switzerland this past spring to visit the Paracelsus Clinic and Swiss BioHealth Clinic; two healthcare models that promote the oral-body connection, to study their holistic approach to patient care. Dr. Gashinsky says, “To truly practice holism; the thought that everything is understood in relation to the whole and not just its parts, it’s important to remember that when treating a person it’s not just what one practitioner does, but how they can work together to improve the final outcome.”
“Finding and working with like minded practitioners to help my patients has not only been professionally satisfying, but also on a personal level knowing that my patients are being well taken care of,” say Dr. Gashinksy. “Finding and addressing the root cause of disease in all our disciplines is the key to success in our patients’ health. What they don’t see, I do, and vice versa, seeing dental infections and how they can affect organ systems through meridians or directly and utilizing the benefits of networking with a holistic practitioner can and does make all the difference in patient care…I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Dr. Gashinsky says about working with other practitioners.
So if you’re looking for an approach that is inclusive of all aspects of holistic care, visit Dr. Gashinsky and his team at The Holistic Dental Center in Millburn, New Jersey. It’s their priority to ensure complete holistic care by promoting the benefits of holism. “It’s not just your teeth anymore,” as he says, “It never was,” but now they have the ability to not just treat overall disease but truly prevent and promote whole body wellness. Other than being a dentist for 40 years, Dr. Vladimir Gashinsky, is a certified nutritional consultant, Accredited by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, SMART certified and a Naturopathic doctor “My passion for learning is never complete, I will continue to research and learn the latest in alternative treatments and team up with the best in the fields of holistic and alternative medicine to bring my patients the best treatments available, this I can assure you.” Holistic Dental Center is located at 91 Millburn Avenue, Millburn, New Jersey.
