by Gina McGalliard

“I am a physician who opened Integrative Family Health Associates in 2008 to offer integrative primary care in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I found that despite finding success working in the conventional insurance based model, I wasn’t able to help many of my patients truly reach optimized health in an effective and sustainable way. I started expanding my services in 2015 to include an even more holistic and functional approach, including a formal wellness program that teaches people how to become independently healthy and minimally dependent on our disease care system. I am extremely passionate and excited about bringing this type of healthcare to the Chicago area.” - Kori Feldman, MD

those that believe chiropractors only fix bad backs.

Publishing Natural Awakenings has exposed me to numerous local chiropractors that strive passionately to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness in the most natural ways possible for many conditions beyond what most of us consider chiropractic.

For one thing, some chiropractors no longer “crack” patients but use more gentle forms of adjustment. To take it further, many chiropractors have branched out and are specializing in particular areas of holistic healing, including internal health, functional medicine, peripheral neuropathy, nutrition, lifestyle programs and craniosacral adjustments.

To recognize National Chiropractic Health Month, I think our Healing Ways article, “Chiropractic to the Rescue,” will enlighten readers to the host of symptoms and health issues chiropractic can address. To augment this theme, we’ve included quite a bit of local editorial written by and about chiropractors in the Western Suburbs that are pioneering a new vision of natural and holistic approaches to chronic health conditions.

Dr. Justin Coop, of Inspired Health in Warrenville, guides patients through lifestyle changes to address autoimmune disease, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue and weight management. Dr. Susan Kileyni, of Optimal Health & Wellness Center in Glen Ellyn, has developed a particular talent for helping those suffering from peripheral neuropathy, diabetes and thyroid issues. Dr. Keith Giaquinto, in Naperville, uses enzyme nutrition to help patients manage conditions ranging from allergies to digestion to fatigue. Dr. “Gus” Muzumdar, of Genuine Care Center in Westmont, offers life-changing nutrition education and detoxification programs as well as acupuncture. Dr. Susie Warden’s Advanced Healthcare clinic in Wheaton offers a host of care, including chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, colon hydrotherapy, nutrition and weight-loss programs.

Dr. Leona Di Amore, of The Healing Place in Naperville, offers adults and children gentle, no cracking adjustments to treat numerous conditions, including anxiety, depression, migraines and ADD/ADHD. Dr. Justin Hunter, of Pure Health and Wellness in Naperville, provides patients with relief of joints, helps with decompression and corrects overworked segments of the body, and treats sports injuries, migraines, infertility and more. And Dr. Dave Cavazos, of Physical Therapy Chiropractic in Carol Stream, has earned a reputation for helping those with auto-, work- and sports-related injuries.

I hope you’ll take the time to read the articles and profiles in this issue to learn more about these caring and dedicated practitioners that make it their life’s work to help people heal safely and naturally.

In Good Health,

newsbriefs New Meditation Booklet and Mala Beads from Made As Intended awn Sprong, founder of Made As Intended, has written Meditation 101: An Overview of What Meditation Is and How it Can Help You, which inspired new collections of mala beads to add to her Made As Intended retail assortment. “I made some malas for friends, and then I started meditating with them,” she explains. “Something about the beads and a simple sutra brought meditation to a new level for me. I had never trusted anything or anyone before I actually started down the road of meditation and searching within myself, so I have to pass it along.”

The initial collection of 71 bracelets and necklace/wrap bracelets in the Sacred Collection include a variety of 108, 27- and 21-count malas made of riverstone, onyx or sandalwood, with sterling and semiprecious gemstones. Malas include information, a suggested mantra and gift bag.

“I created the booklet because I just kept realizing how I had collected a variety of meditation techniques, and using them was the major reason my life changed,” says Sprong.

The guide outlines nine simple meditation practices that any beginner can try, including breath, white board, flying carpet and mala bead.

The meditation booklet is available free at MadeAsIntended. com/2016/04/26/meditation-pratices (bit.ly/2ckcsd5). To receive a paper copy by mail at no charge, email Lauren@ MadeAsIntended.com. See ad, page 22.

Naturopathic Medicine Week Open House

N

aturopathic Medicine Week will take place from October 10 to 16 this year. To celebrate, World Tree Natural Medicine, with naturopathic doctors Kristina and Thor Conner, will host a free Open House from 6 to 9 p.m., October 13, at their Oakbrook Terrace clinic for patients, friends and anyone interested in learning more about naturopathic medicine.

Visitors can learn how naturopathic medicine can be an effective, low-cost addition to life while enjoying refreshments and demonstrations of hydrotherapy, cupping and acupuncture. There will also be door prizes, discounts on future visits, chair massages and question-andanswer sessions with the doctors.

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that considers the whole person; focuses on the causes of illness, not just the symptoms; emphasizes prevention and ongoing wellness; and uses natural treatments that are less invasive and less expensive than conventional drugs and surgery. It continues to gain acceptance as a safe, effective and affordable practice, with Maryland and Colorado the most recent states to license naturopathic physicians. In states where naturopathic doctors are not licensed, like Illinois and New York, there are ongoing efforts to bring about legislation.

Sweat Can Transfer Happiness

R

bikeriderlondon/Shutterstock.com

esearch published in Psychological Science, the journal of the Association for Psychological Science, has found that positive moods can be transferred from one person to another via human sweat. The scientists from Utrecht University, in the Netherlands, tested 12 young men and 36 young women. The men were given clean shirts and absorbent pads were attached to their armpits while they watched video clips that induced several emotional states—fear, happiness or neutral. The researchers then stored the absorbent pads for each emotion into sealed jars.

The 36 women were then tested with each of the absorbent pads randomly, with five-minute breaks in-between. They placed their chins on a special rest that held the absorbent pad underneath. The research was double-blind, so neither the researchers nor subjects knew which pads they were exposed to. During each exposure, the women’s facial expressions were recorded. The researchers determined that the women had facial expressions reflecting the emotion induced by the videos the men watched, based on the activity of the women’s facial muscles.

Senior researcher Gün Semin, of Utrecht University, says, “Our study shows that being exposed to sweat produced under happiness induces a simulacrum of happiness in receivers and induces a contagion of the emotional state. This suggests that somebody that’s happy will infuse others in their vicinity with happiness.

In a way, happiness sweat is somewhat like smiling—it’s infectious.”

Acupuncture Eases Hot Flashes

esearchers from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center tested 209 women between 45 and 60 years old with a history of hot flashes and/ or night sweats. After up to 20 treatments over six months, the women receiving acupuncture reported a 37 percent reduction in hot flashes, while the control group saw a 6 percent increase. The symptom relief among the women treated with acupuncture persisted for a year.

The researchers also found that the acupuncture group experienced an improvement in several menopausal quality of life measurements. Nancy Avis, Ph.D., a professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest University and lead author of the study, says, “There are a number of nonhormonal options for treating hot flashes and night sweats that are available to women. None seem to work for everyone, but our study showed that acupuncture from a licensed acupuncturist can help some women without any side effects. It also showed that the maximum benefit occurred after about eight treatments.”

Cause and Effect

News and resources to inspire concerned citizens to work together in building a healthier, stronger society that benefits all.

Monsanto, the U.S.based, multinational producer of agricultural products infamous for its controversial Roundup herbicide, will be “sued” for crimes against humanity in the independent International Criminal Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, on World Food Day, October 16.

Plaintiffs include the Organic Consumers Association, International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, Navdanya, Regeneration International, and Millions Against Monsanto, along with dozens of global food, farming and environmental justice groups.

The court, developed in 2011, will use the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to assess damages for Monsanto’s acts against humans and the environment. The court will also attempt to reform international criminal law to include crimes against the environment, or ecocide, as a prosecutable criminal offense. It has determined that prosecuting ecocide as a criminal offense is the only way to guarantee the rights of humans to a healthy environment and the right of nature to be protected.

Biodegradable Bottle

Ari Jónsson, a 32-year-old student at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, has invented an all-natural water bottle that holds its shape when full and decomposes when empty. He debuted his creation at the DesignMarch 2016 festival in Reykjavík, Iceland. The only two materials needed to create the bottle are agar, a gelatinous substance that comes from red algae, and water.

“I just followed the path in what I was researching, trying to find new ways to use materials,” says Jónsson, who combined the two ingredients, heated the mixture, poured it into a mold, and then quickly cooled it. The H2O binds and thickens the agar when cooled, retaining the shape of the water bottle mold, explains Jónsson. When the finished bottle is empty, “It will rot like other foods.”

The bottles can sustainably decompose in soil, although Jónsson has yet to determine exactly how long that process will take. A plastic water bottle takes more than 1,000 years to biodegrade, and in the U.S., more than 2 million tons of the containers are languishing in landfills.

October is Non-GMO Month

The Non GMO Project is sponsoring National NonGMO Month in October.

Observed since 2010, the program seeks to increase education and awareness about the growing presence of unlabeled genetically modified (GM/GMO) food products and ingredients.

People and organizations across North America are discovering the risks GMOs pose to our health, families and environment. Non-GMO Month provides a powerful opportunity to coordinate voices and actions around the country as brands, retailers and individuals stand up for the right to know what’s in our food and to choose to avoid GMOs. Protecting consumer choice and a non-GMO food supply requires a multifaceted approach with online and boots-onthe-ground teamwork.

The Non GMO Project invites everyone to help create local events and spread the word in communities. Begin at NonGMOMonth.org.

EPA Helps Schools Cut Bus Emissions

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is helping finance the replacement or retrofitting of older school buses in public and private school fleets to reduce diesel emissions and improve air quality. Owners can install catalysts and ventilation systems to reduce emissions by up to 25 percent or replace older buses with newer ones that meet the latest highway emission standards. The EPA will pay up to $25,000 each, depending on the size.

“Our kids spend a lot of time on the school bus, and buses spend a lot of time in our neighborhoods and schoolyards. They are a national symbol of safety,” says Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for the EPA Office of Air and Radiation. “Significantly improving school bus fleets across the country with retrofits, replacements and idle reduction practices is imperative in meeting the agency’s goal of reducing children’s exposure to air toxins.”

“Groundbreaking research studies and Tuckey’s work have changed our thinking on what fascia is,” Cronin says. “John and I had both been taught that fascia was inert tissue that was just there, but Tuckey understood that fascia is a sensory organ in the body that causes all inflammation.”

Fascial Counterstrain is a gentle manual technique that can treat any painful condition caused by dysfunctions in the body. The process involves the patient lying on a table while the therapist manually works the fascial structure until the nerve endings in the fascia are “reset,” halting the inflammation in the area.

“There are nerve endings in fascia, and once they’re irritated through injuries or bad posture, they become sensitive to stress and start producing inflammatory chemicals,” Cronin explains. “Fascia also connect through the spinal cord to the skeletal muscles, like the hamstrings or triceps, causing the muscles they connect with to become tighter. That affects range of motion and comfort, but by treating the fascia, you’re decreasing tightness in the muscle.”

In addition to Fascial Counterstrain, ARC also offers pelvic floor physical therapy, designed for strengthening pelvic floor muscles to help incontinence and pelvic pain. Unlike traditional physical therapy settings where the therapist sees more than one patient at a time in a fitness room setting, ARC’s patients are treated one on one in private treatment rooms, receiving individualized attention.

“There are a lot of people walking around without pain but in a lot of dysfunction,” Christiansen observes. “Some therapists help people strengthen and feel okay for a little while, but the dysfunction is still there. Instead of focusing just on exercise, we want to correct the underlying dysfunctions to get long-

lasting results. I’m inspired by the daily miracle of seeing patients feel better.�

Cronin loves his job so much that he says it doesn’t even feel like work. “It’s so much fun to watch people get better and improve their quality of life. We’re grateful that we can do that for people, and I’m thankful every day for Strain Counterstrain and Fascial Counterstrain.�

Chiropractic to the Rescue It Helps IBD, ADHD, PMS and Other Conditions

by Edward Group

C

hiropractic care corrects spinal alignment abnormalities as a means of treating a wide range of health problems. Addressing skeletal and muscular disorders and relieving pain are just the beginning. Research studies reported in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics and the journal of healing science Explore have found chiropractic beneficial in treating connective tissue abnormalities, infant lactose intolerance and even autism.

More than $13 billion is spent annually on chiropractic health services, making it the largest alternative health practice in the U.S. Science supports its usefulness in addressing a wide range of conditions.

Bell’s Palsy. Recovery varies among patients as chiropractors create patientcentric treatment programs designed to improve facial motion and hearing, relieve pain and address other nerverelated issues (Archives of Internal Medicine; Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). A Canadian survey of chiroprac16

tors has reported success in using spinal manipulation to relieve IBD, colitis and other bowel disorders (Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology).

Cancer. The Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine publishes numerous studies of therapies supporting cancer patients suffering the side effects of conventional treatment. The American Journal of Clinical Oncology reports that chiropractic care rates as one of the leading alternative medical treatments for pain management, among other related benefits. Chiropractic offers economical and effective strategies that may help quality of life, as discussed in Seminars in Oncology Nursing.

High Blood Pressure. While many relevant studies can’t yet generalize results, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics documents success by chiropractors treating hypertension without the downside of medical drugs that can include the risk of stroke (University of Alabama at Birmingham).

Chronic Sinusitis. Patients with nasal and sinus passages that don’t

drain properly due to physical or nerverelated causes may find relief through chiropractic care. A study cited in the same journal showed that patients experienced relief of all related symptoms after a single adjustment.

Arthritis. A study published in a journal from the the University of Virginia School of Medicine Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies notes that arthritis patients obtaining chiropractic care enjoyed better health and quality of life than those that did not.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

In clinical studies, combining manual spinal adjustment with soft tissue therapy has been found to relieve PMS discomfort. In one study, two groups of women were tested, switching off in receiving chiropractic adjustments or a placebo alternative. Each time, the group receiving chiropractic adjustments reported the greatest improvements (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A study published in Explore suggests that chiropractic care combined with other holistic elements such as appropriate nutrition may provide a more gentle, yet effective approach than conventional psychotropic drugs. It employed chiropractic treatment for boys 9 to 13 years old diagnosed with ADHD. Spinal manipulation with nutritional supplementation was reported to improve hyperactivity, inattentiveness, impulsiveness and behavioral, social and emotional difficulties.

Headaches. Based on recent studies, spinal manipulation has proven effective against migraines and headaches originating from the neck. Manual therapy of the spine, along with neck exercises, promotes improvement in patients with neck-related headaches. Side effects are rare and minor (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Dr. Edward Group is CEO and co-founder of the Global Healing Center, in Houston, TX (GlobalHealingCenter.com).

He is a doctor of chiropractic trained in naturopathy, herbals and clinical nutrition; author of The Green Body Cleanse; and a diplomate of the American Board of Functional Medicine.

Determining Causes of Subluxations

by Keith Giaquinto

M

any people may think that chiropractic medicine just treats back or neck pain. While chiropractors are good at treating those conditions, going to a chiropractor just for neck or back pain is like going to a coffee shop and getting a plain black coffee. A broad range of conditions can be addressed through chiropractic care.

Chiropractors treat subluxations, which is a term that indicates vertebrae joint restriction, spinal muscle contraction and nerve interference. All three of these components are always present with subluxation. Research shows that subluxations send misinformation to the brain and can increase sympathetic tone, which is the body’s fight-or-flight mode.

Increased sympathetic tone then starts a whole cascade of physiological events that can lead to health challenges.

Mechanical issues, like sitting all day, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture

20

Chicago Western Suburbs

and musculoskeletal injuries, cause subluxation. Other causes include nutritional imbalances from a diet high in processed, fried and fast foods, or an inability to digest and absorb the nutrition from food consumed. This can cause organ stress, which can cause a subluxation in the spine.

The brain talks to and controls every cell, tissue and organ in the body.

It does this through the nervous system.

Every nerve that comes out from the spine goes to three things: a muscle group, an organ system and an area of the skin. The brain sends and receives messages to and from these three areas.

If there is a mechanical cause of a subluxation in the body, then a mechanical approach with chiropractic adjustments and posture rehab to strengthen the spine can correct the problem. If, however, the mechanical approach is only a temporary fix for

NAChicagoWest.com

the problem, then an organ-related or nutritional-related problem needs to be considered.

If one sees a chiropractor to address mid-back pain and the mechanical approach mentioned above only lasts for a few days or a week at best, and the symptoms return, it is an organ/nutritional-related problem until proven otherwise. Organs supplied with nerves from the mid-back include digestive organs, like the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and small intestine. By identifying which organ is involved and nourishing that organ with enzyme nutrition, only then will that subluxation release.

One often assumes that when food is eaten, it is automatically digested, absorbed and utilized by the cells and organs. Whether one is consuming bad or good food doesn’t matter; when the body is under stress, the digestive system becomes weak as a direct result of that stress. If the body could automatically digest, absorb and utilize all the food put into the mouth, then no one would ever be sick.

Dr. Keith Giaquinto is a chiropractor specializing in internal health, utilizing food enzyme nutrition.

New Hope for Early Heart Disease Detection

by Sheila Julson

H

eart disease is more often caused by cardiovascular disease, as most heart attacks have more to do with the poor health of arteries than the heart.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, plaque can build up in the arteries, causing the inside of to narrow, which lessens or blocks the flow of blood, thus leading to heart disease.

New technology is now giving both women and men the ability to detect subtle arterial changes before they cause damage.

The Digital Arterial Pulsewave Analyzer (DPA) is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved medical device that checks the health and condition of the arteries.

The device analyzes patterns in the small arteries located in the left index finger, where arteries are the first to show signs of deterioration. The DPA uses an infrared light sent to the fingertip and obtains pulse wave information, with the light absorbing characteristics of hemoglobin.

A trained and certified DPA technician conducts the testing.

“It is beneficial for all adults to be tested on a semi-annual or annual basis to check for very early signs of plaque buildup,” says Harry Elwardt, Ph.D., naturopathic doctor and owner of Health Guardian, in Naperville, an educational resource dedicated to natural health.

He notes that more than 300,000 people die every year from heart attacks without any prior warning signs and equates regular cardiovascular testing to other preventive lifestyle measures, like semi-annual visits to the dentist. “The goal is to catch plaque buildup early enough so that it can be easily detected and reversed through specialized proven natural supplementation.”

The DPA test is noninvasive, painless and it may detect potential artery problems at their very earliest stages. The test does not produce any risk or discomfort and can be done in a short amount of time.

If the DPA test reveals abnormalities, Elwardt and his team at Health Guardian will recommend a more detailed consultation to explain what can be done to improve and reverse the situation. They will discuss the nutritional aspects of the person’s diet, examine the client’s lifestyle and suggest an exercise routine that may help stop the impact of the aging process. They also offer specialized products and supplements that can help reverse arterial aging, detoxify the body and improve the absorption of what one ingests.

Natural Awakenings readers can mention this article to receive a $100 discount off the DPA test and consultation, which normally costs $150.

The Calming and Centering Effects of Labyrinths

by Gina McGalliard

While many of us like to meditate, some can’t sit still. Walking a labyrinth provides an enticing alternative.

A

n archetypal labyrinth gently leads us in a circular path inward toward a center and then back out again. Found in ancient cultures from African, Celtic and Greek to Native American, they became especially popular fixtures in Medieval European churches; one of the most renowned is in France’s Chartres Cathedral.

Depictions of labyrinths have been included in paintings, pottery, tapestries and in Hopi baskets as a sacred symbol of Mother Earth. Several American tribes saw the pattern as a medicine wheel. Celts may have regarded it as a never-ending knot or circle. While some of the oldest known labyrinths decorate cave walls in Spain, today they grace diverse locations ranging from spas and wellness centers to parks, gardens, university campuses and even prisons.

“Labyrinths can be outdoors or indoors. Permanent labyrinths may be made of stones, rocks, bricks or inlaid stones. Temporary labyrinths can be

painted on grass or made with all sorts of things for a particular purpose or appropriate to a specific cause,” explains Diane Rudebock, Ed.D., resource vice president and research chair of the Labyrinth Society, in Trumansburg, New York.

“Walking a labyrinth is useful for those that sometimes have a hard time being outwardly still and drawing themselves inward. You must move your body, and because you’re focused on the path while you’re walking it, it’s easier to drop wholly into the journey and let go of all else,” says Anne Bull, of Veriditas, a Petaluma, California, nonprofit that supports new labyrinth designs to suit the spiritual needs of hospitals, schools and retreat centers. The group also sponsors a worldwide directory at LabyrinthLocator.com.

Individual Approaches

A labyrinth walk typically involves three stages. The first is for releasing extraneous thoughts on the way to the

center. Upon arriving in the stillness of that point, the participant opens heart and mind to receive whatever message or wisdom is intended for them. The return path is the integration phase, to make a fresh insight our own.

Participants should approach their walk in different ways: One may have a specific question or intention in mind; another may be open to whatever occurs during their meditation; yet another may repeat a meditative mantra.

One might even choose to bypass the path entirely in order to sit contemplatively at its center. Unlike a maze, it’s impossible to lose our way with the circular path serving as a simple and reliable guide.

Although scientific research on labyrinth meditation has been limited to participant questionnaires, future studies may incorporate the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging technology to measure brain activity and record what individuals experience. Labyrinths located in settings like hospitals and prisons lend themselves to such research, says Rudebock. As a Veriditas-certified labyrinth facilitator, she conducts workshops and observes, “Walks are unique to each individual and may not produce uniform or replicable results.”

At its core, the experience is about listening to our truest self, away from the cacophony of modern life.

“I believe that the world needs places where our souls can be quiet,” remarks Jean Richardson, director of the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center, in Bangor, Pennsylvania, which includes a seven-circuit labyrinth. “Retreat centers and labyrinths are places where we can listen to our inner heart, feel our inner calling and tap into our own divine nature. I think deep listening is not always valued in a world where we are rewarded for being busy and keeping our schedules full.”

Nearby Opportunities

Today, labyrinths—indoor, outdoor, natural, urban, secular and religious— are found in or near many communities. Following the lead of California’s Golden Door Spa, in Escondido, which pioneered the use of a labyrinth in a spa setting, many spas now

incorporate them in their wellness or mindfulness programs.

Labyrinthine invitations to a mindfulness practice are open to everyone.

“A labyrinth can bridge all beliefs, faiths, religions and walks of life,” says Bull. “You can walk a labyrinth no matter what you believe. Benefits come in walking it with an open mind and open heart.”

n The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, Michael Pollan surmised that we’d be healthier if we ate the way our great-grandparents did. It would mean sticking to regularly scheduled meals instead of impulsive snacking, having a meat or protein item comprise only a quarter of our plate, adding fresh vegetables and eliminating junk food.

We must look further back than our immediate ancestors, counters Jo Robinson, a food journalist who surveyed more than 6,000 scientific research studies before writing her bestselling Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health. She has also co-authored several other books, including The Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the Island of Crete.

Narrowed Field of Foods

“Many believe we have dumbed down the nutrition in our food over the past 100 years,” says Robinson, who lives and gardens on Vashon Island, Washington. “Research shows we have been breeding out proteins and minerals and most importantly, antioxidants, for much longer.”

She points out that the hunter-gatherer diet encompassed many wild foods that tasted more bitter, astringent, sour and earthy than the sweet blandness in today’s fruits and vegetables. Wild foods offered a wider variety of phytonutrients, but came at a cost—the time required to hunt and gather enough food for a day, let alone a season.

“Then, 12,000 years ago, we had a better idea—gardening,” says Robinson. “We evolved to 20 varieties in a garden versus 150 in wild plants.” First, farmers chose sweet, starchy, mild-tasting, oil-rich foods such as figs, dates and olives. “We’re hard-wired to choose high-calorie foods because they’re directly connected to the pleasure centers of the brain,” she adds.

After that, the trend to grow sweeter-tasting, less nutritious plants snowballed. Robinson cites research that found adding one Golden Delicious apple to the daily diet of a small group of overweight men led to higher levels of undesirable low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides due to its high-fructose content and low levels of antioxidants (International Journal of Preventive Medicine).

Wilder Options Even organic farming methods, in which the soil is naturally enriched, can’t return all those lost nutrients to our food.

Rather than advocate that we return to eating wild foods, Robinson suggests finding wild equivalents. Even those that follow a paleo diet—presumably eaten by early humans and consisting chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, excluding dairy, grain products and commercially processed items—could use further refinements in the produce they choose. She recommends specific varieties of fruits and vegetables and explains the benefits of “wild” foods such as meat, eggs and dairy from livestock and poultry fed on grass on her website, EatWild.com.

We can make smarter choices, seeking wilder-type varieties of foods at the grocery store, farmers’ market and garden seed companies. In general, they are more vividly colored, especially from red to purple, and less sweet.

Brightly colored fruits and vegetables indicate a botanical sunscreen the plant produces to protect itself from ultraviolet light and other external threats, notes Robinson; it’s an indication of a higher antioxidant activity.

“Find as many purple foods as possible because they have anthocyanins, known to fight cancer and inflammation,” suggests Robinson. “The original carrot from Afghanistan is purple.

It’s only been orange for the past 400 years when it was bred to salute the royal House of Orange, in the Netherlands.”

According to Robinson, we can also prepare our foods in ways that maximize their phytonutrient content. Eat fresh-picked asparagus and broccoli immediately or their natural sugars and antioxidants disappear. Let chopped or pressed garlic sit for 10 minutes before using so its pungent allicin—the healthy compound that benefits our health—will increase. Tear fresh lettuce the day before eating and keep it fresh in a plastic bag with poked holes, to allow the stillliving lettuce to rally its healthy compounds as if its battered leaves were repelling an insect attack.

This emerging science of polyphenols, the technical term for phytonutrients in our food, will be explosive, predicts this pioneering research-based author. “There’s a new study just about every month,” she finds. It can all lead toward breeding and growing more nutritious foods that are more readily accessible to everyone.

10 Wild and Healthy Choices

by Judith Fertig

T

“

he old way of thinking about fruits and vegetables is ‘the more, the better,’ regardless of what you choose,” says wild food expert Jo Robinson. “Unfortunately, the most popular ones are the least nutritious, like Golden Delicious apples and supersweet corn.”

In Eating on the Wild Side, Robinson cites considerable research that shows we can make better choices within each food category by simply selecting varieties closer to their wild ancestors. Generally, the most phytonutrientrich options include kale, spinach, lettuces, asparagus and artichokes. Here are other top tips from the literature. n Tart apples such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, Honeycrisp and Liberty boost phytonutrients and fiber while reducing fructose content. n Haas avocados deliver more vitamin E and other antioxidants to support smooth skin and shiny hair than smaller Mexican avocados. n Red finger bananas, when fully ripened to a deep magenta, are higher in vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium and fiber than the common Cavendish banana. n Canned beans (which have been dried and then cooked) are better than home-cooked beans because the heat required for the canning process enhances their nutritional content. n Grass-fed beef is higher in vitamin E, beta-carotene and omega-3 essential fatty acids than corn-fed beef. n Dried currants made from Black Corinth grapes (sold as “Zante currants”) have more antioxidants than either brown or golden raisins. n Red grapefruit is preferred to yellow; the darker the red, the more beneficial the fruit. Red grapefruit but not yellow has been shown to lower triglycerides. n Raw kale is both the most bitter and beneficial of all the cruciferous vegetables. n Dark orange-hued mangos are superior to other tropical fruits, possessing five times the vitamin C of oranges and the fiber of pineapples. n Cherry, grape and currant tomatoes deliver more cancerpreventing lycopene than beefsteak tomatoes.

GARDEN SMARTS

How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back: A New Method of Mulch Gardening, by Ruth Stout Gardening Without Work: For the Aging, the Busy and the Indolent, by Ruth Stout MotherEarthNews.com/organicgardening/ruth-stouts-system

by Sue Odland

I

t’s not too early to begin planning next year’s garden. For those that long to grow their own fruits and vegetables but are short on time and strength, consider the Stout method of no-work gardening. Ruth Stout, an amateur gardener during the 1940s who became known as the Mulch Queen, developed this technique, which is still used by gardeners today with the same remarkable results.

Stout grew tired of the strain and work associated with traditional gardening, such as plowing, cultivating soil, weeding, feeding, spraying pesticides and watering. One day she decided to forgo the extra work and try a more natural approach. Her revolutionary no-work system took the home gardening world by storm. Many experts of the day dismissed her findings, but that did not dampen her enthusiasm

or her plentiful harvests. This insightful woman grew her own food with as little physical effort as possible until her death at age 96.

The secret behind the Stout method is simply maintaining an eight-inch-deep level of organic mulch on the entire garden at all times. The mulch suppresses weeds, feeds the soil and keeps precious moisture in the ground. The mulch can consist of any matter that decays or rots, including hay or straw, leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, newspaper, sawdust and non-protein food scraps. Stout believed that even a compost pile was too much additional work, and she encouraged gardeners to simply throw their kitchen scraps directly onto the mulch to create fine organic planting soil.

It’s ideal to begin this mulch project in fall, but it can also be done

in spring. Gardeners can set newspapers or thin cardboard as the first mulch layer to quickly cover weeds or eliminate sod.

To install starter plants, simply pull back an area of mulch, make a small shallow hole or slash the ground with a hand trowel, place the plant on top of this area, and then restore the mulch around the plant.

To plant seeds, pull back an area of mulch and plant the seeds in the soil.

Check the seed package or research proper planting depth. Do not replace the thick mulch on top of the seeds.

Leave the seeds open to sprout. This is the only time that the deep mulch is not used. Thin the new seedlings as they grow to prevent overcrowding. After these steps, maintain 8 inches of mulch as needed, enjoy the summer and wait for the harvest.

Stout’s simple, no-work mulch method has proven successful for the past 70 years. For those ready to toss the rototiller, watering devices, pesticides and hours of backbreaking labor for a naturally productive garden, consider this approach, which continues to provide inspiration and delicious homegrown produce for indolent gardeners everywhere.

Sue Odland is a local freelance writer and avid gardener who found her summertime freedom through the Stout method.

Considering a Mediated Divorce Settlement

by Cindy K. Campbell

D

ivorce stories are much like war stories—only funnier when they involve our neighbors instead of us and our soon-to-be ex. Mediation, the process of an expert guiding divorcing parties, makes a great deal of emotional sense. Compared to hostile negotiations and potential litigation, mediation makes tremendous financial sense, too. Consider the value of a trustworthy, experienced mediator that has the ability to isolate difficult issues and help couples work collaboratively without animosity toward a successful conclusion.

One step removed from mediation is the collaborative divorce. While each party retains his or her own counsel, everyone involved agrees to participate in the negotiation and settlement process. The parties themselves, attorneys and possibly therapists and/or other professionals work together to help reach an amicable resolution.

Mediation or a collaborative divorce are not right for everyone, but every divorcing couple should consider the benefits. It is private, with no public record; maintenance, support, visitation and division of assets and debts are all included in a central pot that can be resolved piece by piece or with some give and take that keeps both partners involved and focused on managing issues both big and small; plus, the couple maintains total control, with no unfavorable impositions by a judge.

Parenting decisions are in the agreement, so the interests of the children come first. The case is not filed until a resolution is reached, so the parties do not have to worry about the stress of litigation and trial. Also, they are more likely to abide by the agreement after the final dissolution, and that means a greater likelihood of open discussion when future parenting concerns come up.

All of these reasons make it better to stay focused on the end result and work through a collaborative or mediated divorce to avoid the stress of being stuck in a lawyer’s office over who gets what in the household.

Perhaps the biggest benefit is that without protracted haggling and court time, these options are far more cost efficient.
