White Umbrella is an emanation of Buddha Samantabhadri and Tara, and is renowned as a great buddha with the profound ability to subdue and pacify negative forces.

He has an amazing ability to communicate profound topics in simple words, touching people’s hearts and opening their minds. He has co-authored over 28 Dharma books in English with his brother Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, and travels extensively all over the world giving empowerments, teachings, & guiding students with personal advice.

Tantra Practitioner Training and Certification in Stuart, FL January 23-29, 2018

W

e invite you to step into the realm of Tantra Healing, a path that is highly rewarding and richly valued around the globe. Join us in this transformational journey for men and women wishing to up-level their own relationship to sexuality, as well as their ability to coach and support the healing of others on the path of conscious relationships.

Most relationship and intimacy problems stem from early programming, societal repression, early wounding or past relationships.

When we support the healing of past relationships and the release of negative programming, we support the evolution of the whole person and their ability to create and maintain high level relationships. We also support access to higher levels of pleasure and passion and the awakening of higher states of consciousness.

Tantra is a philosophy that contains an enormous Love and respect for all living beings, including respecting the sensual and sexual nature of human life. The body is the temple of our souls, and our sexual energy is the strongest and most original source of vitality, creativity and strength that we have. Tantra reintegrates our sexuality with our heart and spirituality, enriching our ability to Love our partners, our families, our communities and ourselves.

In this 7-day retreat in Stuart, FL we will dive deeply into a transformational journey that will raise your abilities, expand your possibilities, and widen your relationship to prosperity and abundance. Our goal is to completely transform the way the essential and evolutionary work of Tantric healing is offered.

Lourdes Starshower and Cathleene Cienfuegos are Spiritual Elders in the world

of Tantra. They each have a successful practice that includes spiritual counseling, energy healing, sexual healing and awakening, timeline healing, soul retrieval, hypnotic regression and a large following of true seekers on the path of sexual spiritual awakening. They want to share their expertise and guidance to support you on your personal evolutionary journey as well as to expand your passion for offering unique value to your clients and community.

Cathleene is an International teacher from San Diego, California and Lourdes has a thriving private practice and a large following of students in Palm Beach Gardens.

Don’t miss this all-inclusive transformational Tantra certification retreat in a beautiful oceanfront mansion with gourmet vegan meals. $2190 includes all your meals and shared accommodations. Mention this article to receive $100 off the registration price. Dates are Tuesday 1/23 at 6 p.m. to Monday, 1/29 at 2 p.m. Don’t delay. Our last certification retreat sold out and we expect this one will as well.

CAVINOLTM HEMP CBD AND STRESS

THE

S

unshine Global Health CAVINOLTM Hemp CBD (cannabidiol) Extract interacts with your body by way of naturally-occurring cannabinoid receptors embedded in cell membranes throughout your body. In fact, scientists now believe the endocannabinoid system may represent the most widespread receptor system in your body.

There are cannabinoid receptors in your brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, immune system and more—the therapeutic, stress-relieving properties occur when the CAVINOLTM Hemp CBD Extract activates a cannabinoid receptor. The fact that your body has so many cannabinoid receptors (which are key to so many biological functions) is why there is such enormous medical potential.

Full spectrum hemp extracts will not be pure CBD, as they’re derived from the whole plant.

And, as noted by CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “Evidence is mounting that these compounds work better together than in isolation.” This supports the fact that CAVINOLTM Hemp CBD Extract which consists of a unique and long studied blend of terpenes and cannabinoids can be a big help for total body inflammation and everyday stress.

Have You Had Your New Year’s Tune-up Yet?

A

re you feeling less than wonder-full as the holiday season draws to a close?

You just received an invitation from your soul to make time for a tune-up now, so you will be ready to embrace all of the opportunities in the new year.

Remember a time when holidays represented unparalleled joy and anticipation?

By tapping into those precious memories, you can connect to your inner spirit who knows the Truth - that only when we are experiencing joy can we share ourselves fully with our loved ones and others. So the most important New Year’s resolution you can make is to be fully present in each moment–feeling settled, calm, open and ready to give and receive love and participate fully in life.

Meditating daily is one of the most effective ways to de-stress quickly and enter the zone of calm readiness. For over forty years I have practiced a form of meditation called Transcendental Meditation every day, and I recommend meditation to all of my clients.

Meditating regularly has been shown to have cumulative, long-term benefits for both your physical and mental well being.

botanical essences and soft, soothing music.

Lie back, relax and enjoy reflexology on your feet, hands, ears and/or face. By gently, but firmly, working the pressure points on your hands, face, ears and feet, we calm your nervous system and reach all of the organs, glands and parts of your body.

Releasing physical, mental and emotional stress allows your body’s innate wisdom to promote healing and experience a deep sense of well being.

You can also take some Reflexology workshops and classes to discover how to help yourself, family and friends and, if you choose, to pursue a career in holistic health.

Your mind and body’s natural tendencies are to return to a state of optimal health.

This year take some simple steps to support this process, like meditation and reflexology, and be ready to fully embrace everything the New Year has to offer.

Happy New Year!

Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching sessions in Delray Beach and Holistic Reflexology Certification Training Programs in Boynton Beach starting February 17. Laura has created Aromatherapy products and step-by-step Foot, Hand and Face Reflexology Home Study DVDs, and offers beautiful gift certificates for all occasions.

Laura Norman

It has been my experience that, after allowing myself some quiet time when I wake up, I start my day with greater clarity, intention and energy. Make some form of meditation a part of your daily tune-up and I promise you will see and feel the difference (and so will your loved ones!)

For the same forty plus years I have meditated, I have also practiced and taught Reflexology. Having a Reflexology session is great way to experience profound mental and physical relaxation.

Mark Anthony the Psychic Lawyer®

M

ark Anthony the Psychic Lawyer® (aka The Psychic Explorer™) is a science based evidential medium. Friday January 26, at 7 p.m., he will connect random audience members with loved ones in spirit at the United Metaphysical Church of the Palm Beaches 917 North Dixie Hwy., Lake Worth, FL. He is the author of the award winning, critically acclaimed best-sellers Never Letting Go and Pulitzer submitted Evidence of Eternity.

His books are in several languages and recommended by hospices and grief counselors worldwide. They’re available at all fine bookstores including the United Metaphysical Church of the Palm Beaches bookstore.

Mark Anthony is a world-renowned fourth generation psychic medium who communicates with spirits. His family’s psychic legacy has been documented to the early 1900s on both sides of his family. His psychic great-grandmother was featured in the “Italian-Americans” on PBS. Mark is an Oxford educated attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, Washington D.C. and before the United States Supreme Court. He is a regular guest on TV, Radio and print

media as a legal analyst, psychic medium and paranormal expert.

Recently, Mark was featured on the Emmy Award winning CBS show “The Doctors.” In 2018 he will appear in a mini-series about a high profile cold case.

Mark comes from a long line of engineers and scientists. His father, also a psychic was a key player in the Apollo Program (U.S. Manned Missions to the Moon).

Mark’s work bridges the gap between the spiritual and the scientific. He explains the existence of the afterlife and the reality of spirit communication based on quantum physics. Currently on a nationwide tour, he uses his natural abilities as a medium to connect random audience members with loved ones in spirit.

Far from a dry lecture or a dull event!

Mark is a spellbinding speaker who employs humor to “raise the vibration” of the audience. This is one of the reasons he is a headline speaker at conventions, expos and spiritual organizations such as the Edgar Cayce A.R.E., IANDS (International Association of Near Death Studies), Afterlife Research Education Institute and the Sedona Spirit Symposium and universities including Brown, Columbia, Harvard and Yale.

On a personal level, Anthony demonstrates how loved ones in spirit often try to get a message across from the other

side. “When you sense the presence of a deceased loved one, this is a contact experience, which is real. Many people have them.

Spirit contact can be very subtle and can be overlooked. Although I can help individuals to make a connection with a loved one who has crossed over, spirit contact will not take away the pain of what happened. For some of the thousands of individuals I have discerned for, it has been an important step in the healing process.” For an evening of spirit contact and edu-tainment for your soul, get tickets now!”

United Metaphysical Church of the Palm Beaches Fri. Jan 26, 7PM advance $45. $50. At door. Get Tickets, call 561-686-0217 or order at www.unitedmetaphysical.org. For more info on Mark Anthony visit EvidenceOfEternity.com.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all |within yourself, in your way of thinking. ~Marcus Aurelius 14

Feng Shui For Life

F

eng Shui is the ancient practice of wind and water. It is a fun and inspiring way to explore different ideas to improve your life; bringing in greatness. Juli Edwards, owner of Healthy Life Salon in Boca Raton, can provide you with a Feng Shui Chart. Juli has been practicing Feng Shui since 2009. She has devised two different types of Feng Shui Charts.

The first one is called a Feng Shui Full Analysis. This is discovering the correct placement of objects and furniture in your home or office as well as implementing complimentary colors and shapes that will truly enhance your well being. It will also significantly reduce accidents. When the Chi (auspicious energy) is able to flow and nourish a space, wonderful things happen. Clearing the clutter and freeing up the walkways in your space are a few simple ways to allow the Chi to flow.

Getting rid of old, broken or worn out objects and removing electronics and appliances not being used are some other great ways to clear stagnant energy and replace it with auspicious energy. Having your Feng Shui Full Analysis Chart done is an excellent way to get complete with your life. It will open doors to new adventures and enjoyment. With good Feng Shui, you can achieve financial security, improve self esteem, and ultimately increase your quality of life.

without hope, life feels meaningless. So I say “give resolution-making another go!” Here are five tips to get you started:

“This Year I will…”

“L

ose weight, start an exercise program, go to the gym, get organized, etc.”

The New Year’s resolution is met with both enthusiasm and disdain by the population.

New Year’s resolutions are anything but new.

Julius Caesar started the tradition. Caesar believed that making resolutions on January 1st was a way to honor Janus, the mythical god, whose two faces allowed him to look back into the past year and forward to the New Year.

So here we are in the year 2018, continuing an over 2000 year tradition. Well, we attempt to. Statistically only a fraction of the population sticks to their resolutions and usually by February most resolutions have derailed. Unfortunately, just knowing this fact kind of sets us up for failure.

Why do we make New Year’s resolutions anyway? If we haven’t achieved our desired goals yet, why do we believe that an arbitrary date of January 1st will bestow upon us the wisdom and impetus to achieve the goals we failed to achieve last year?

The reasons are varied, but one thing is for sure: it’s a mind thing. The word “new” has an appeal to our emotional body. It has an enchanting quality about it that sends signals to our brain that the New Year has wiped the slate clean of our old habits and we are now magically given not only the opportunity but the motivation and ability to achieve our goals. I would say that’s quite appealing and delightfully hopeful. And

#1- Let’s ditch the word “resolution” and use the word “intention” instead. “Resolution” sounds more like a “should” whereas “intention” of your goals brings to mind something purposeful and self- directed. #2 - Determine your “Why.” I’m sure you’ve heard this before; you need to have a powerful “why” when intending a goal.

If your “why” sounds or feels more like a “should” it’s time to have a heart to heart talk with… your heart… and rethink your goals. #3 - Go for the Gold. And I don’t mean currency. I mean what is your big, bold dream that you intend on accomplishing in the next 5 years? 4 years? 3years? 2years? 1 year? If you say; “hey, I just want to lose 20 lbs and it had better not take five years! ” I would say; “well, do you want to maintain that 20 lb loss in five years? Ok, so envision how you will look and feel in five years. #4 - Be sure your goals are S.M.A.R.T. Successful people set S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific: What exactly do you intend to accomplish?

Measureable: How will you know when you’ve reached your goal?

Achievable: Is this something you are capable of doing? Recall other times in your life when you’ve accomplished similar goals.

Realistic: Considering everything else in

your life, is this something you feel confident that you can accomplish?

Time- Limited: Without a time frame, your goal enters that nether land of ‘someday.’

Setting a specific end date prompts your unconscious mind to ‘get to work.’ #5 – Create a meaningful Vision Board.

Visualization or “mental rehearsing” and Vision Boards have been used by many successful people including athletes, businessmen and entertainers. Having a picture of your dreams and goals in a place where you can see it every day creates a powerful mental imprint for your success.

Sharing your goals with family and friends or a coach can bring more energy to your intentions (and hold you accountable) and also offers you the benefit of a support system.

There are many other tips and ideas for positive intention and goal setting (check the Calendar of Events in the back of this magazine for my next Vision Board Workshop!). However, I believe when we connect to our higher self and tap into our purpose and passion, intending and achieving our goals becomes an inspired journey and windows of opportunity magically open up for us.

Daily Produce Servings Prevent Early Death

Researchers at the Imperial College London say that five servings of fruits and vegetables is a good start, but more is better. After conducting a worldwide meta-analysis of 2 million people that compared early mortality rates from cardiovascular disease and cancer, they recommend eating at least 10 three-ounce vegetable and fruit servings per day, which could prevent up to 7.8 million premature deaths each year.

AEROBICS KEEP THE BRAIN YOUNG Simple movement turns out to be the best way to lift mood, improve memory and protect the brain against age-related cognitive decline, according to Harvard Medical School researchers in an article, “Aerobic Exercise is the Key for Your Head, Just as It is for Your Heart.” Even brisk walking or jogging for 45 minutes can alleviate depression.

The Journal of Physical Therapy Science notes that aerobic workouts can help people feel less stressed by reducing levels of the body’s natural stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol.

Healthy diet options of spinach and kale may also help keep our brains fit. In a study from the University of Illinois appearing in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscienc0 60 adults between 25 and 45 years old having higher levels of lutein, a nutrient found in green, leafy vegetables, avocados and eggs, had neural responses more on par with younger people than others of their own age. Lutein is a nutrient that the body can’t make on its own, so it must be acquired through diet. It accumulates in brain tissues and the eyes, which allows researchers to measure levels without using invasive techniques.

Research from the New York University Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center has found that cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive extract of hemp oil, significantly reduces seizure rates in epileptics. Scientists there tested 120 children and young adults with epilepsy and found that the cannabidiol group’s number of seizures per month decreased from 12.4 to 5.9 compared to a statistically insignificant change in the placebo group.

RED WINE LESS TOXIC THAN WHITE Alcohol has been linked with cancer in about 3.6 percent of cases worldwide, due to the presence of acetaldehyde, which damages DNA and prevents it from repairing itself. A study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention that involved 200,000 people found a distinct connection between white wine in particular and melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer. Sun exposure is a well-known cancer risk, but this and other studies have found that subjects often develop melanoma primarily on the trunks of their bodies, which are usually covered by clothing, and it is almost always curable if the cancer is caught early.

Eating fish at least twice a week may significantly reduce the pain and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis,in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, creating swelling and pain. Studies have already shown the beneficial effect of fish oil supplements on rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, but a new study of 176 participants at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, found that increasing the amount of fish containing omega-3 they ate weekly as a whole food lowered their disease activity. The Arthritis Foundation estimates that about 1.5 million people in the U.S. have the disease; women far more often than men.

A Swiss study gave volunteers $25 a week for four weeks, and told half of them to spend the money on themselves and the others to spend it to benefit others. Subsequent brain scans revealed a link between the altruistic acts and feelings of contentment, activating neurons in the ventral striatum associated with happiness. Even the intention alone to be more generous was enough to create these changes, and the amount spent did not influence the increase in levels of well-being. The discovery sheds fresh light on why many people feel gratified when giving, even when it costs them something.

Mercury/Autism Brain Research Alert As the debate rages between health officials and vaccine critics about possible links to autism, mercury seems to be a specific bone of contention. It has long been present in the form of thimerisol, a preservative that inhibits bacterial contamination. Under government pressure, amounts have been reduced by the pharmaceutical industry to trace levels or eliminated, except in commonly recommended flu vaccines, some of which contain the food emulsifier polysorbate 80, which disrupts the blood-brain barrier and helps create an extremely effective delivery system for escorting neurotoxic ethylmercury and other heavy metals straight to the brain. The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences reports that ethylmercury, in particular, gets metabolized into even more toxic inorganic mercury and remains in the brain for years.

Sugar Linked to Depression The journal Scientific Reports recently published a study that confirmed a link between a diet high in sugar and common mental disorders. In 2002, researchers from Baylor College found that higher rates of refined sugar consumption were associated with higher rates of depression. A 2015 study that included nearly 70,000 women found a higher likelihood of depression in those with high added sugar intake, but not in those with a high intake of naturally occurring sugars such as those found in fruit.

The World Health Organization recommends that people reduce their daily intake of added sugars to less than 5 percent of their total energy intake; Americans typically consume three times that much. Meanwhile, one in six people worldwide suffers from a common mental problem such as a mood or anxiety disorder.

City Greenery Boosts Public Health

Urban trees help reduce obesity and depression, improve productivity, boost educational outcomes and reduce incidences of asthma and heart disease for residents, yet according to The Nature Conservancy, American cities spend less than a third of 1 percent of municipal budgets on tree planting and maintenance. As a result, U.S. cities are losing 4 million trees per year.

Each summer, thousands of unnecessary deaths result from heat waves in urban areas. Studies have shown that trees are a cost-effective solution. Too often, the presence or absence of urban nature and its associated benefits is tied to a neighborhood’s income level, resulting in dramatic health inequities. In some American cities, life expectancies in different neighborhoods located just a few miles apart can differ by as much as a decade. Not all of this health disparity is connected to the tree cover, but researchers are increasingly finding that neighborhoods with fewer trees have worse health outcomes, so inequality in access to urban nature can lead to worse health inequities.

Cigarette Cutback Higher Prices Lower Use

Research from the Medical University of Vienna found in a 30-year study that increasing prices for tobacco products by 5 percent reduced tobacco use by 3.5 percent.

Cardiologists Urge Plant-Based Hospital Meals

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) is advising hospitals in improving patient menus by adding healthy, plant-based options and removing processed meats, which have been linked to 60,000 cardiovascular deaths annually.

The ACC Heart-Healthy Food Recommendations for Hospitals states, “At least one plant-based main dish should be offered and promoted at every meal.” ACC also urges that processed meats such as bacon, sausage, ham, hot dogs and deli meats should not be offered at all. These guidelines extend to hospital cafeterias and onsite restaurants.

The American Medical Association has also passed a resolution that calls on hospitals to provide similarly healthy meals. Processed meats are now considered carcinogenic to humans, according to the World Health Organization. A 50-gram serving a day— one hot dog or two strips of bacon—increases colorectal cancer risk by 18 percent.

“Too many heart disease patients have had their recovery undermined by bacon and hot dogs on their hospital trays,” says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the nonprofit Physicians Committee.

Young Vegetarians Worry Meat Industry

Peter Bernik/Shutterstock.com

The 2017 Chicken Marketing Summit in North Carolina involved hundreds of leaders from fast-food chains, marketing agencies and poultry production companies discussing the fact that Americans are eating less poultry—and what to do about it. Richard Kottmeyer, a senior managing partner at Fork to Farm Advisory Services, explained that Millennials need to be “inspired and coached” to consume more animal products, according to an article published on WattAgNet.com, an industry website.

“Compared to their parents, Millennials are more likely to believe in evolution and accept that climate change is occurring. They seek out facts and science to better understand a complex world, but the poultry industry doesn’t have any fact-based information to defend its cruel, unsanitary practices,” states animal rights advocate Nathan Runkle via EcoWatch.com. The majority of chickens raised for meat have been bred to grow so large so quickly that they collapse under their own unnatural weight. North Carolina has enacted an “ag-gag” bill, making it illegal to photograph or videotape animal abuse.

Safer Product Controls Citrus Pests

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Pest Regulation have approved CRS Plus, an aerosol pheromone biopesticide product that disrupts the mating cycle of Aonidiella aurantii, also known as California Red Scale (CRS).

Pheromones do not kill or damage the target insects, and are species-specific, so pollinators and other beneficial insect species are not affected.

CRS attacks all aerial parts of citrus trees, including twigs, leaves, branches and fruit. Heavy infestations can cause reduced fruit quality, yellowing and dropping of leaves, dieback of twigs and limbs and even death of the tree.

Crackdown Needed

Glyphosate Found in Breakfast Foods

A new way of taking control of your life!

Problems with

• Health or Weight?

• Money or Career?

• Relationships?

• Soul Purpose?

Our next workshop

in Boca Raton is January 26-28 2018 Come learn a simple process to reclaim the power to heal yourself and to heal others, in this innovative workshop led by Cheryl Sullivan, a certified hypnotherapist and energy healer.

Of 24 breakfast food samples tested by the Alliance for Natural Health USA, 10 showed the presence of glyphosate. Executive and Legal Director Gretchen DuBeau states, “We expected that trace amounts would show up in foods containing large amounts of corn and soy. However, we were unprepared for just how invasive this poison has been to our entire food chain.” In the study, the chemical, now revealed to be a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization, was found in oatmeal, bagels, eggs, potatoes and non-GMO soy coffee creamer. The presence of glyphosate in dairy products may be due to bioaccumulation in the tissue of animals.

DuBeau adds, “Glyphosate has been linked to increases in levels of breast, thyroid, kidney, pancreatic, liver and bladder cancers, and is being served for breakfast, lunch and dinner worldwide. The fact that it is showing up in foods like eggs and coffee creamers, which don’t directly contact the herbicide, proves that it’s being passed on by animals that ingest it in their feed. This is contrary to everything that regulators and industry scientists have been telling the public.”

Recycled Plastics Put to Good Use

NCBTMB Approved Provider Live 17 CE’s

Australia’s Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training at Deakin University is practicing an affordable way to increase the availability of potable (drinkable) water in needy areas of the world. The project involves collecting plastic garbage from around the Pacific Islands and turning it into pellets, which are then extruded as 3-D printer filament to make replacement plumbing parts, often in short supply in those locations. That effort is called 3D WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), and the children’s charity Plan International Australia will be the first recipient (Plan.org.au).

Recycling Crusade

The San Francisco Department of the Environment’s list of materials allowed in blue recycling bins has been expanded to include plastic bags, paper coffee cups, ice cream containers, milk or juice cartons and textiles; it is also downsizing refuse bins. It’s all part of a shift to using dual-compartment trucks to collect refuse from black bins and organic waste from green bins, with a dedicated truck for recyclables. A national leader in recycling, the city is one of the first to attempt a zero-waste target year of 2020.

California has a goal of 75 percent recycling by 2020, having achieved a 44 percent rate in 2016. Los Angeles is making progress with a new commercial waste recycling system. Washington, D.C., has also expanded its list of accepted materials for recycling bins, but still doesn’t include plastic bags. With recent improvements to automated and optical sorting technology, some companies are becoming more accommodating about what they will accept.

A new year can prompt us to refresh the look and feel of our home. Eco-minded individuals may wish to spruce up a treasured piece of furniture or find a replacement that’s light on environmental impact.

MConsider wood furniture made from

sustainably harvested forests and tree farms or reclaimed wood. Find explanations of Forest Stewardship Council certification requirements at US.FSC.org.

MChoose vintage and secondhand furniture to extend its life with a bonus of

nostalgia. Avoid painted furniture from the early to mid-20th century, which may contain lead, or use a paint-testing kit.

MLook for furniture with organic substances such as natural wood finishes,

naturally tanned leather or organic cotton. Look for Greenguard product certification to ensure low toxicity (Greenguard.org).

Some businesses, like Upholstery on Broadway, in Arlington, Massachusetts, conduct money-saving classes for people that want to learn to repair or restore their own furniture. Owner Kevin Kennedy finds, “People bring in their own projects, often wing chairs and side chairs, along with stray pieces of materials.

As long as they have ‘good bones’ [solid wood frames], new fabric can add many years.” For those afraid of making mistakes in cutting fabric, “We help them measure carefully first, and that relieves their anxiety.” A carpenter’s rule is to measure twice, cut once.

MGet creative. Treehugger.com cites Pentatonic, a furniture line made from 100

percent recycled materials, including glass, plastics and metals, for easy assembly without tools. Standardized components deliver efficient manufacturing and shipping; each part has an identification number with the manufacturer’s date and location, and the type of waste used in production.

MIn replacing furniture, make sure the old piece gets reused, as well. Sell it via

CraigsList.org, eBay.com, local classifieds or a yard sale; donate through Freecycle.org or a local thrift store; or just give it away.

Oral Health Prevents...

Pineal Gland Disorders

by Ali Villalobos

A

re you suffering from insomnia, anxiety, disturbed immune system, poor functioning adrenal and thyroid glands, headaches, memory loss or visual problems?

Have you considered this might be linked to your oral health?

We often do not connect the health of our teeth as a strategy to prevent other systemic diseases. Poor oral health can result in many disorders ranging from heart disease, respiratory infection and pancreatic cancer to obesity and hormonal imbalances. In a holistic approach to medicine, doctors such as acupuncturists, endocrinologists, etc. are considering the oral health of their patients and referring them to us at GoNaturalDentistry.com.

In my own health journey I have developed an interest in understanding how everything connects. I have become fascinated with meridian channels and how they work within us; essentially, meridian lines are energetic pathways that connect everything in the body. We are made out of molecules and cells that are affected by their surrounding energy; in order to be balanced we have to make sure these energetic pathways are not interrupted or blocked.

Do you have unresolved dental problems that could be blocking a pathway and negatively affecting your health? Tooth abscesses, cracked or decayed teeth, root canals with sub-acute infections, gingivitis, gum infections, improperly extracted teeth with residual infections in the socket, amalgam fillings with mercury leaking into the body, dental materials that provoke sensitivities, defective dental restorations that irritate the teeth, gums or oral cavity.

Dental problems are common but often unrecognized sources of imbalances in our pineal gland health. The pineal gland is a tiny gland the size of a grain of rice in

the center of your brain. Although small it plays an essential role in how we sleep, perform, make decisions and perceive reality. Essentially, how you think and feel everyday depends on this little grain of rice in your brain.

The pineal gland produces the hormone melatonin; the quality and duration of your sleep relies on how well it produces this hormone. This tiny organ regulates your daily and seasonal circadian rhythms, the sleep-wake patterns that determine your hormone levels, stress levels, and physical performance.

Pineal gland disorders will negatively affect many aspects of your life. Maybe you have a healthy lifestyle yet still have trouble sleeping throughout the night. Perhaps you often feel irritable or too anxious to leave

the house and have a low sex drive. These disorders may occur when you are exposed to excess light during the night, not enough light during the day, or have high amounts of fluoride in your water. Common examples would be looking at your laptop or phone late at night, not getting enough natural sun exposure during the day, and consuming sugar, caffeine or nicotine after 5 p.m. When your melatonin levels are off, this essential serotonin-derived hormone is inhibited from controlling your sleep patterns and balancing the hormones of your reproductive organs.

These symptoms are all connected to your pineal gland health. It is important to identify and treat the underlying causes and one of those factors is your oral health. The toxicity in your body should be considered and addressed appropriately. A biological dentist will use dental materials compatible with your immune system by doing a simple blood test. This test will show what materials your immune system rejects because your blood will coagulate when exposed to the materials. Only the materials that are best for each patient will be used. Mercury amalgam fillings are never a good biological solution and the proper protocols and precautions need to be followed to protect your health.

If you have pineal health issues consider which teeth these are and if they are connected to your pineal gland. See the chart to identify the teeth and to which organs they connect. You deserve a healthy, balanced body and we are here to help you achieve that! Next month we will talk about the prostate gland.

DIAL DOWN STRESS How to Stay Calm and Cool

by Lisa Marshall

W

hether from natural disasters, divisive politics, unmanageable workloads or a smartphone culture that makes it tough to unplug, U.S. adults are feeling more strain now than they have at any other time in the past decade, according to the American Psychological Association’s 2017 Stress in America Survey.

One in three say their stress has increased in the past year and one in five rate the level at eight or more on a scale of one to 10. About three in five, or 59 percent, say they believe this is “the lowest point in the nation’s history” and nearly two-thirds say concerns about our nation’s future (including its health care, economy and international relations) are key sources of their stress.

“We’re seeing significant stress transcending party lines,” notes Arthur C. Evans Jr., Ph.D., the association’s CEO.

All that stress is having a powerful impact on health, with as many as 80 percent of visits to primary care physicians characterized as stress-related, according to 30

Palm Beach Edition

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one. ~Hans Selye the American Medical Association. Workplace stress accounts for 120,000 deaths a year—more than influenza, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease combined—according to a 2015 Stanford University study.

Yet, empowering news has emerged amid this epidemic of anxiety-related illness.

Research shows that by eating right, exercising and changing our mindset about stress itself, we can buffer our bodies from many health hazards.

“Unfortunately, you can’t always avoid the things that stress you out. But you can control how you respond to stress before it takes over your life,” says Melanie Greenberg, Ph.D., a Mill Valley, California, psychologist and author of the recent book The Stress-Proof Brain: Master Your Emotional

napalmbeach.com

Response to Stress Using Mindfulness and Neuroplasticity.

Our Brain on Stress

Whether it’s an urgent email from the boss or a rude motorist driving unsafely, tense situations elicit a physiological response remarkably similar to what might occur if we were chased by a lion.

Deep inside an almond-shaped region of the brain called the amygdala, an alarm goes off, signaling the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that boost heart rate, usher extra blood to muscles, hasten breathing and spike blood sugar to provide more fuel for the brain to react.

Evolutionarily, this response was key to early human survival, providing the energy boost needed to flee predators. Even today, it has its upside, says Greenberg. “In the short term, stress can be exciting and even beneficial, revving you up so you can put your passion and energy into something.”

But chronic excess can lead to high blood

pressure and blood sugar, inflammation, cognitive problems and a hair-trigger response to stress, in which our body overreacts even to mild annoyances. It can also, research suggests, accelerate aging by eroding the protective caps on our chromosomes, called telomeres.

“Think of the stress response as an elastic band,” says Dr. Mithu Storoni, a Hong Kong physician and author of the new book Stress Proof: The Scientific Solution to Protect Your Brain and Body — and Be More Resilient Every Day. “If you pull it and it snaps back immediately, that’s fine. But if you pull it too intensely or too frequently, it doesn’t snap back, and there are lots of downstream consequences.”

Stress-Proofing Our Body

Eating right can better protect our bodies, says New York City Registered Dietitian Malina Malkani. She recommends loading up on nutrient-dense, high-fiber foods like leafy greens, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds during stressful times, because they can slow our rate of digestion and minimize unhealthy dips and spikes in blood sugar.

Beneficial, bacteria-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi are other foundational foods for stress-resilience, says Storoni, because they can dampen bodily inflammation that arises from chronic tension. They can also replenish bacterial strains like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria which, according to studies of college students, tend to decrease when we feel pushed beyond our limits to handle what’s coming at us.

One 2016 study of 171 volunteers, published in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, found that those that ate yogurt containing lactobacillus plantarum daily for two months had fewer markers of stress in their blood. Another study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2007 found that when 132 adults drank a probiotic-infused milk drink daily for three weeks and were then subjected to an anxietyprone situation, their brains reacted more calmly than those of a control group.

“Probably the most important thing you can do to make your body stress-resil-

Seven Ways to Banish Stress W

e can take charge and do even more things to keep stress at bay in the first place, says Christine Carter, Ph.D., a University of California, Berkeley, sociologist and author of The Sweet Spot: How to Accomplish More by Doing Less. “I’m all about prevention,” she says. “There are many ways to set up your life to be less stressful.”

1

Multitask less, monotask more:

“The brain was not evolved to multitask and it can be stressful when we try to do so,” says Carter, referencing a Stanford University study. “At the end of the day, we end up feeling fried.” She recommends setting up a “fortress against interruption” for an hour or two each day when we feel most alert. Put the phone on mute, don noisecanceling headphones and ask coworkers or family members to not interrupt your focus on an important priority.

2

Don’t be a chronic media checker: Eighty-six percent of

Americans say they constantly or often check their email, texts or social media accounts, according to the latest Stress in America Survey. Half of U.S. workers say they respond to every email within a half-hour. Carter recommends instead scheduling a block of time at the beginning and end of each day for the task.

During weekends and evenings, disable email and social media notifications.

Research shows the more often we check, the more stressed we are. One recent study of British office workers found that checking email almost immediately boosts heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels, while refraining causes the stress response to subside.

3

Limit choices: Making decisions can

be stressful, and we are all faced with an increasing number of them every day.

To limit a personal decision-making load, get boring. Devise a meal plan that doesn’t vary from week to week (unless it’s a happy creative outlet). Stock the wardrobe with

favorite styles of shirts and shoes in different colors. Select and stick with one brand of natural toothpaste or granola.

4

Don’t overthink things: Rumi-

nating on past events and relationship problems can be a great source of stress in the present moment. If there’s nothing that can be done about it, stop thinking about it. Literally visualize a stop sign when the thought bubbles up.

5

Daydream: Idle times, like standing

in line, sitting in traffic or showering can allow our brain to rest and recover from hassles. Embrace such opportunities and don’t clutter them up with technology; leave the phone and radio off.

6

Meditate: Invest 10 minutes daily to

sit still, focus on breathing, visualize an image or stare at an object and try to keep thoughts from drifting. Brain imaging studies published in the Brain Research Bulletin show that “Through [such] meditation, it’s possible to rewire your brain to create a new, stronger circuit that keeps your emotional reactivity under control,” says Dr. Mithu Storoni, who has published a book on the topic.

7

Heighten spirituality: Whether

it’s regularly attending religious services, yoga meditation sessions or quiet walks in the woods, a spiritual practice can be a powerfully effective means of coping with stress and mitigating its health impacts. Duke University research shows that people regularly engaged in a spiritual practice are more likely to survive heart surgery, recover better from stroke, have shorter hospital stays and become depressed and stressed less often.

“Spirituality connects you to the broader world, which in turn enables you to stop trying to control things all by yourself,” explains Dr. Roberta Lee, an integrative physician, in her book The SuperStress Solution.

“When you feel part of a greater whole, it’s easy to understand that you aren’t responsible for everything that happens in life.”

Palm Beach Edition

Exercise, too, can help combat stressrelated illness. But Storoni attests that not all exercise is created equal. One recent study in the Journal of Physiology found that in animals daily moderate exercise (the equivalent of a light jog) can boost levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a critical brain protein diminished by stress and sleep deprivation, significantly more than weight training or intense exercise.

On the flip side, excess strenuous exercise (laps around the track or an intense gym workout) can boost inflammation, whither brain cells, and aggravate the physical impacts of stress, says Storoni.

“If you want to exercise to relieve the stress you just experienced, keep it at low intensity,” counsels Storoni. If possible, work out in the morning, as it can boost melatonin levels at night, helping you get to sleep faster, she notes.

Stress-Proofing Our Mindset

While diet and exercise can buffer our body from the impacts of chronic stress, a shift in mindset can keep it from becoming chronic in the first place, says Greenberg.“The goal is

napalmbeach.com

ient is to maintain a healthy ecosystem of bacteria in your gut,” advises Malkani, who recommends exchanging dessert for lowsugar yogurt every day and taking probiotic supplements as well as steering clear of sweetened beverages and refined carbohydrates. The spice turmeric is also a good stressbuster due to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to help normalize blood sugar, Storoni notes.

Despite our natural craving for comfort food, it’s a good idea to go easy on saturated fats in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic situation, because stress slows fat metabolism. In one recent study, Ohio State University researchers asked 58 women about their previous day’s stressors, and then fed them the fat-loaded equivalent of a double cheeseburger and fries; the stressed-out women burned 104 fewer calories.

“If a woman had a stressful day at work every day and ate a meal like this, she could easily gain seven to 11 pounds in a year,” says study author Jan Kiecolt-Glaser, a professor of psychiatry and psychology and director of the university’s Institute for Behavioral Medicine.

People with a stress-hardy mindset may temper stress as an “excite-and-delight” challenge in adventurous situations. Others “tend-and-befriend”, reaching out to help and comfort in times of tragedy. Studies show that when participants are told, “You’re the kind of person whose performance improves under pressure,” it does— by as much as one-third. ~Harvard Medical School Healthbeat

not to eliminate stress, but to put it in its place—to use its energizing and motivating aspects to take care of what needs to be done, and then relax,” and stop paying attention to it. This, she says, requires being mindful of what’s happening in the present moment.

“When you feel your heart racing at the sight of another urgent demand at home or work, stop what you are doing, take a deep breath and tune into what’s happening in your body,” advises Greenberg. She notes that when the highly reactive amygdala “hijacks the brain”, we often say and do things in the heat of the moment that we later regret. Waiting just a moment (like counting to 10) allows the more rational part of our brain (the prefrontal cortex) to kick in. “It allows you to go from panic to, ‘I’ve got this.’”

Greenberg observes that we often feel most stressed when we feel out of control. When faced with a daunting task, it may help to make a list of the things we have control over and a list of the things we can’t control—then make a plan to act on the manageable one and let the others go.

“Mindfulness is also about keeping our self-judging and ruminating mind at bay, which may keep repeating, ‘I’m not doing enough,’” she says. “Realize that you do not have to listen to every thought that comes into your head. Ask yourself, ‘What is the most important thing for me to focus on right now?’”

Greenberg also says it’s important to aim to broaden and brighten our view in tough times, explaining, “Feeling stress biases your brain to think in terms of avoiding threat and loss, rather than what you can gain or learn from the situation.”

Start by jotting down three ways this challenging situation may be beneficial in the long run; also make a list of things and people we are grateful for, she suggests.

“Practicing gratitude helps you realize that you have a choice about what to focus your attention on and you don’t have to let stressors take all the joy out of life,” according to Greenberg. As an added bonus, “You’re less likely to take your stress out on loved ones when you think about what they mean to you and how they have helped you,” she says.

UNDERSTANDING NUTRACEUTICALS

How They Differ from Health Store Supplements

Savvy consumers seeking products that might help them achieve and maintain good health may be noticing two new categories: medical food and nutraceuticals.

Optimism is

the faith that leads to achievement.

Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. ~Helen Keller

edicalized terminology is now being used to describe certain products we may already have been buying from brand-name dietary supplement companies and retailers, and they have a higher price tag. One common example: powdered protein meal-replacement shakes that can cost up to $16 more than a retail store brand, as nutraceutical and medical food purveyors want to differentiate their products as having clinical research and development behind them. This raises the bar on the quality of contents and assures consumers of thirdparty testing for proof of ingredients.

Although both are regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, there is no legal distinction between dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, yet each serves different purposes. Dietary supplements, comprising vitamins, minerals and/or herbs and botanicals, are intended to enhance wellness among healthy adults.

napalmbeach.com

Nutraceuticals encompass nutrients, foods or parts of foods used as medicine to provide health benefits beyond nutrition and combat chronic disease. Some of the most popular formulations involve botanicals like ginseng, ginkgo biloba, St. John’s wort and echinacea.

“Medical foods, formulated for dietary management of a specific medical condition for which nutritional needs are unmet by a normal diet, are regulated under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983,” explains Bill Shaddle, senior director of medical education at Metagenics, Inc. “Our nutraceuticals and medical foods are supported by verifiable science that provides solid evidence regarding the therapeutic benefits produced by ingredients in our products.”

The word nutraceutical, blending nutrition and pharmaceutics, was coined in 1989

by Stephen L. DeFelice, the founder and chairman of the nonprofit Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, in Mountainside, New Jersey, which promotes clinical research

and development of dietary supplements and foods specifically for their health benefits.

Reputable companies that manufacture private-label nutraceuticals, such as Metagenics and Xymogen, among others, research and develop products for functional nutrition and quality. While such products are solely distributed through partnerships with healthcare professionals such as medical doctors, nutritionists and pharmacists, some of the evidence-based, professional-grade formulas are available through online physician websites.

Metagenics and Xymogen collaborate with institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, Bastyr University and National College of Natural Medicine in conducting clinical research that demonstrates how their formulas impact healthy aging, cognitive function and overall health.

betes and cardiovascular disease, are subject to standard food and safety labeling requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Although they may be used under medical supervision, patients don’t need a prescription. Many healthcare practitioners, including dietitians, currently recommend them under a physician’s direction.

Unlike pharmaceuticals, which are accountable to the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, patent-protected and supported by expensive testing documentation, nutraceuticals are not. However, many manufacturers do choose to undergo costly testing. Like all dietary supplements, the majority of which do not undergo third-party testing, they are regulated by DSHEA, which defines and regulates labeling and claims of benefits related to classic nutrient-deficiency diseases.

Xymogen is strictly a physician’s line of nutraceuticals, explains Cheryl Burdette, a doctor of naturopathy and director of clinical research and outreach for the company. “In our manufacturing process, to avoid contamination and

validate ingredients, every batch is third-party assayed by an independent laboratory, whereas some companies only do this for every fifth or 20th lot. Xymogen’s validation extends to packaging and controlling the level of humidity because it affects how ingredients oxidize,” says Burdette.

Gary Kracoff, a registered pharmacist and naturopathic doctor at Johnson Compounding & Wellness, in Waltham, Massachusetts, researches the nutraceuticals that he carries and recommends for his clients.

“I like professional-grade nutraceuticals because their formulas are researched and science-based. They are excellent products for specific purposes. Individuals that take the medical foods come to appreciate their disease-modifying therapeutic results. While pricier, they include healthier sources of carbohydrates and fats, as well as natural, rather than synthetic nutrients to provide what the body needs to return to a state of balance,” says Kracoff.

10,000 Steps and Counting Keep Moving to Stay Fit

W

by Kathleen Barnes

e have become a nation of couch potatoes. The average American takes only 5,900 steps a day, somewhat better than the sedentary Brits that average less than 4,000. The notion that overall we need to take 10,000 steps a day to be physically fit started with manpo-kei, a 1960s Japanese marketing tool to sell pedometers.

While the 10,000 steps concept lacks specific supporting science, it’s widely acknowledged that we are healthier the more that we move. Affixing a target number to it helped spread the notion of the benefits of walking, says Catrine Tudor-Locke, Ph.D., a walking behavior researcher at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Tudor-Locke is a proponent of the walking goal, although she readily admits the real objective is to get people moving more. “Any opportunity to walk more, more frequently and farther, wherever that is—it all adds up,” she says.

Making 10,000 Steps Possible For those already physically fit and physically active, 10,000 steps is a no-brainer. However, it’s never too late to start for those with exercise programs that have been supplanted by a too-busy-to-workout lifestyle.

There’s probably no easier exercise than walking, says Dr. Melina Jampolis, the Los Angeles author of The Doctor on Demand Diet. “Walking is the number one exercise I recommend to most of my patients, because it is exceptionally easy to do, requires only a supportive pair of quality sneakers and has tremendous mental and physical 36

benefits that increase just by getting outside in the fresh air.”

The biggest bang for the increased effort is the first 3,000 to 4,000 steps between the sedentary baseline and 10,000 steps, Tudor-Locke explains.

“Still, 10,000 steps is the magic number for the average American,” says Dr. Michael Roizen, chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio. “That specific number of steps seems to help break down insulin resistance, an underlying cause of Type 2 diabetes. We’re not exactly sure how this happens, but we know that this amount of exercise takes the glucose from the blood where it is a hazard to the cells, so that it becomes less hazardous.”

Exponential Health Benefits Many more well-documented health benefits of a walking program include: 4 increased heart health 4 lower blood pressure 4 stronger muscles 4 improved balance 4 weight control 4 natural stress relief

Several studies from places like Harvard Medical School’s affiliate Brigham and Women’s Hospital also show that a brisk walking program nearly cut in half the risk of early death in breast cancer patients.

Most exercise experts note that a walking pace that leaves the walker only slightly out of breath reaps the greatest rewards. “One hundred steps a minute is a good cadence,” advises Tudor-Locke.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least 150 minutes of exercise weekly, or 30 minutes five days a week, for virtually everyone. Many experts don’t believe it’s necessary to move for 30 minutes straight. Ten-minute increments work fine; so a quick morning walk around the block, another outing during the lunch hour and a refreshing walk with the dog after work can do the trick. Some evidence from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion suggests that varying walking speed is even more effective in overcoming insulin resistance and burning calories.

Counting Up Roizen recommends wearing a pedometer or using a free iPhone app (no need for a fitness band), mainly to keep up awareness of our daily step count. There’s no age when we don’t need to walk anymore.

If a consistent 10,000 steps does wonders for health, some ask if more would be better. “Ten thousand is the answer for health and longevity, but 12,000 or more makes a difference for fitness and calorie burning, so go for it!” Roizen says.

his kundalini yoga breathing technique, when combined with a brisk walking program, changes the basic rhythms of the body, even at cellular levels, according to the Kundalini Research Institute, in Santa Cruz, New Mexico.

Breathwalking, a particular combination of breathing and walking, improves several brain functions, according to research the institute conducted with the University of Arizona.

Breathwalking, compared to normal walking, increases executive function by as much as 80 percent and improves cognitive function, judgment and mental focus. Other findings by the institute are that breathwalking improves vision, including depth of field and clarity of detail, as well as muscle balance and heart function.

“If aerobic exercise resembles the pure power of a single frequency emanating from a strong radio station, then breathwalking looks like many frequencies mixed into complex and richly textured patterns. One is a tone; the others add melody, chords and harmonies. It is like comparing loud noise to sophisticated music,” notes the organization’s website.

How to Do It

Breathwalking Adds Benefits

Wave breath: Inhale steadily through the nose to the count of four while taking four steps, exhale through the mouth to a count of four while taking another four steps.

Stair breath: Make four distinct inhalations through the nose to a count of four while taking four steps; and then exhale through the mouth in four sharp exhalations while taking another four steps.

Dr. Jim Nicolai, who is affiliated with the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, in Tucson, has created a helpful instructional video at Tinyurl.com/HowToBreathwalk.

Living EAT WHEAT AGAIN Eight Ways to Restore Gut Health

by John Douillard

T

he New York University Langone Medical Center recently reported that 74 percent of Americans experience some form of digestive distress, a quarter are obese and more than 100 million U.S. adults are pre-diabetic and don’t know it. While many blame such problems on eating wheat, some food scientists disagree, including those citing two major studies

by Harvard researchers; following more than 100,000 people for 25 years, they concluded that those eating the most wheat compared to low-gluten folks had a 13 percent lower diabetes risk and no greater risk of heart disease.

While the standard American diet, which includes highly processed wheat, is likely responsible for many of these health concerns, plenty of science links a diet rich in whole grains, including whole wheat, to weight loss, better digestion and lower blood sugar. The Mediterranean Diet, replete with whole grains and wheat, is still revered as one of the healthiest-known diets. Centenarians that live in the famed “blue zones”, recognized for their longevity-enhancing environment and lifestyles, eat a non-processed, whole-food diet rich in whole grains and wheat.

napalmbeach.com

Many Americans that are glutensensitive today digested wheat fine when they were young. At some point, our ability to digest foods that are a bit harder to digest, like wheat and dairy, became compromised.

It’s possible to reboot.

Delete Processed Foods

The first step toward reestablishing digestive strength is avoiding all processed foods. A study in the journal Diabetes Care linked a processed food diet to a 141 percent increase in belly fat, high blood sugar and high cholesterol. It further showed that a diet of whole grains, including wheat, reduced the risk of these health concerns by 38 percent.

Monitor these ingredients to achieve a healthier diet. n Avoid all added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Allow nothing more than six grams of naturally occurring sugar per serving. n Avoid fried foods and baked goods made with refined cooking oils used to preserve them like bread, muffins, cookies, energy bars, most packaged foods and chips. n Eat bread that’s only made of organic whole wheat, salt water and starter.

n Use ginger, cumin, coriander, cardamom and fennel.

Highly processed vegetable oils are used as preservatives in most packaged foods, including bread. Processing these oils renders them indigestible. Linked to congestion of the liver and gallbladder, they disable liver bile so it can’t break down either good or bad fats, also making it insufficient to buffer stomach acids. Without adequate bile production to neutralize stomach acid, the stomach won’t produce the needed acid to digest proteins like gluten and the casein in dairy. This malady has effected a huge spike in gallbladder surgeries and epidemic levels of obesity, high blood sugar and food intolerances.

To boost bile flow, enjoy these foods daily: n Eat one red beet and one apple a day—either raw, cooked, juiced or blended. Add celery and make a bile-flow smoothie. n Consume one teaspoon of both coconut oil and high-quality olive oil per day. n Eat more artichokes, bitter roots and leafy greens. n Drink fennel and fenugreek tea with meals.

Studies published in journals such as Molecular Nutrition & Food Research and the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry suggest that when these five spices are used together—as a supplement, in cooking or to flavor food—they act as a total upper digestive reset. These five-star spices: 4 Stimulate digestion 4 Increase bile flow, pancreatic and small intestine enzyme activity, and fat and sugar metabolism 4 Decrease H. pylori, an opportunistic acid-producing microbe, from adhering to the stomach 4 Decrease gas and bloating 4 Support optimal weight, microbiology health, growth of good gut bacteria and elimination 4 Act as powerful free-radical scavengers

Strengthen Stomach Fire

John Douillard, a Boulder, CO, doctor of chiropractic and creator of the wellness website LifeSpa.com, is the former director of player development and nutrition advisor to the New Jersey Nets NBA team. He is author of the book Eat Wheat: A Scientific and Clinically-Proven Approach to Safely Bringing Wheat and Dairy Back into Your Diet. Learn more at EatWheatBook.com.

Instead of taking digestive enzymes or a hydrochloric acid-based stomach acid pill, stimulate the stomach to make its own acid and the small intestine and pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. This is best done regularly with the following five spices:

Following these simple steps of nutrition will set gluten sufferers on the right path to retraining the body to digest and enjoy wheat again.

HAROLD KOENIG

on Why Science Finds Faith a Healthy Choice

by April Thompson

P

hysician Harold G. Koenig, an international authority on religion, health and ethical issues in medicine, has dedicated his career to understanding the relationship between faith and health. Koenig, who has surveyed the scientific literature, shares the mounting evidence linking the power of faith to better health and well-being.

Koenig struggled for three decades to determine his life’s purpose before a spiritual transformation in 1984 set him on a Christian path. “As I’m able to surrender my will and follow God’s lead, I’ve found an increasing flow of blessings. Even in those times when I’m self-centered, the blessings continue. I can only attribute it to the incredible undeserved grace and mercy of one who understands and forgives,” he says.

He’s the director of Duke University’s Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health, an associate professor of medicine at the Duke University Medical Center, in Durham, North Carolina, and author of nearly 50 books. Titles include The Healing Power of Faith, The Handbook of Religion and Health, and the recent You Are My Beloved. Really?, musings on the nature of divine love.

What maintains people’s faith in the face of worldly adversity?

Adversity can increase people’s faith; when things are going well, people don’t feel the same urgent need for religion.

Why do hurricanes happen? Why do people experience chronic pain? When someone is in the midst of challenges, there is no easy explanation, even though there can be many answers. Sometimes all you can do is to have faith that a good God reigns, despite appearances. That can lead to a sense of wellbeing and spiritual purpose, even in the midst of bad material experiences.

40

Palm Beach Edition

How you’ve dealt with life prior to a challenge matters. If you follow a spiritual path and practice, when bad things happen, you can lean on your foundation of faith; you’re better prepared. Once you’re in the middle of it, all you may feel is the pain and a desperate desire to get rid of it.

One of the most precious gifts we have as humans is the freedom to choose. We can be selfish and strictly pleasure-seeking, or we can be kind and altruistic. We can turn toward or away from our divine source.

What have you concluded from decades of studying the relationship between faith, prayer and health?

Our research and that of many other major academic institutions, including Harvard and Columbia universities, shows that people of strong faith enjoy better social, physical and mental health, all else being equal. It drives healthy behaviors and attitudes, which leads to better health.

A person’s religious beliefs and spiritual practices affect them across their lifespan. It begins in utero, based on parental

napalmbeach.com

behavior and care, and shows in the sense of trust we have as infants. In this way, parents’ faith-based moral values also can favorably affect their children’s levels of stress, depression and drug use later on.

Is there a tension between the yearning for scientific certainty and the intuitive nature of faith?

I feel that tension constantly as a scientist and a believer. I’m always challenging myself; you have to be objective as a scientist, to observe without reading into things. But the wisdom of the scriptures has endured through thousands of years, applied by believers through the ages in many different groups and cultures.

About 80 percent of Americans today believe in God, nearly 90 percent in a higher power, and 84 percent of the world’s people have religious faith. Such faith must serve some kind of function for it to have persisted throughout the millennia.

There is much that is still unknown, and may not be knowable from a scientific perspective. You need to use common sense and intuition. It requires a leap of faith, but once you do it, everything falls into line—though I admit as a scientist I keep trying to understand things from a rational perspective.

What are the pathways by which spiritualitycontributes to health?

Science supports firsthand experience; that the virtues instilled by a religious path ultimately lead to better decision making, relationships and greater well-being. They help to neutralize negative emotions. These benefits accrue through adulthood and yield fruit into old age. The coping mechanism that spiritual practices provide is also important. It helps us to tolerate and navigate difficult situations and integrate meaning and purpose into daily life.

I don’t think science can prove to us that faith leads to divine healing. But through natural mechanisms alone, ones that we can understand and study, tremendous evidence exists to show that it benefits health and maybe even longevity.

Copper

Natural device stops a cold before it starts

New research: Copper stops colds if used early.

N

ew research shows you can stop a cold in its tracks if you take one simple step with a new device when you first feel a cold coming on.

Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. Viruses multiply fast. If you don’t stop them early, they spread in your airways and cause misery.

But scientists have found a quick way to stop a virus. Touch it with copper. Researchers at labs and universities worldwide agree — copper is “antimicrobial.” It kills microbes, such as viruses and bacteria, just by touch.

Four thousand years ago ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. Now we know why it worked so well.

Researchers say a tiny electric charge in microbe cells gets short-circuited by the high conductance of copper. This destroys the cell in seconds.

Tests by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) show germs die fast on copper. So some hospitals switched to copper 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. When he felt a cold coming on he fashioned a smooth copper probe and rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds.

“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold went away completely.” It worked

Some users say it also helps with sinuses. Attorney Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache. When her CopperZap arrived, she tried it. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.”

Some users say copper stops nighttime stuffiness if they use it just before bed. One man said, “Best sleep I’ve had in years.”

Users also report success in stopping cold sores when used at the first sign of a tingle in the lip. One woman said, “I tried every product on the market over 20 years. Some helped a little, but this stopped it from happening in the first place.”

The handle is sculptured to fit the hand and finely textured to improve contact. Tests show it kills harmful microbes on the fingers to help prevent the spread of illness.

again every time he felt a cold coming on. He reports he has never had a cold since.

He asked relatives and friends to try it. They said it worked for them, too. So he patented CopperZap™ and put it on the market.

Soon hundreds of people had tried it and given feedback. Nearly 100 percent said the copper stops their colds if used within 3 hours of the first sign.

Even up to 2 days after the first sign, if they still get the cold it is milder and they feel better.

Users wrote things like, “It stopped my cold right away,” and “Is it supposed to work that fast?”

Pat McAllister, age 70, received one as a gift and called it “one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works.”

Sinus trouble, stuffiness, cold sores.

People often use CopperZap Copper may even help stop flu if for prevention, before cold signs apused early and for several days. In a pear. Karen Gauci, who flies often for her job, used to get colds after crowded lab test, scientists placed 25 million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses flights.

Be happy

for this moment.

This moment is

your life. ~Omar Khayyam

by J. Marie Novak

A

ccording to a Pew Forum study, nearly 80 percent of Americans believe in miracles. When we think we can’t handle burdensome difficulties on our own, we often seek help from a higher power, pleading: Cure me or my loved one of this illness. Aid me in providing for myself and my family. Bring me someone to love. Help me resolve this intensely painful situation. Protect loved ones from the harm they’re subjecting themselves to.

If we want miracles to unfold in our lives, we must actively participate in their manifestation. Here are five ways to manifest more miracles in our lives.

1

Be Grateful for Everything

Gratitude deserves its positive buzz. When we’re grateful, our energy changes and our light shines. Our perspective shifts from scarcity to abundance. We bring forth divine blessings by being tuned into the giving nature of the creator of all. When we live in a state of gratitude, good people, opportunities and blessings arrive.

2

Stop Using Excuses to Do Nothing

When we take a positive step in our lives—it can be anything—a way forward will often appear that may be unrelated to the blessing we receive. For example, clearing out clutter may clarify a career move.

Taking a course to build a new skill may introduce us to a new friend. In beginning a new exercise routine, we may discover selfconfidence in other areas of life.

42

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

3

Step Beyond Routine

Step out of routines, broaden horizons and bust through comfort zones. Bumps and bruises may occur, but bravery is rewarded.

Miracles are not beyond our grasp, but we may need to extend our reach in ways we’ve never done before.

4

Help Others Receive the Miracles They Pray For

Experience the bliss of being a giver. Share what others need. Sponsor a child’s education. Give unused belongings to people that desperately need them. Offer words of encouragement. It all matters more than we realize.

5

Trust Intuition

When we listen to our intellect instead of our inner heart-and-soul guidance system, we get turned around and off course. We all have an inner knowing that can help us get where we want to go. Divine wisdom always trumps the human mind. When we tune into it and trust what it’s telling us, we invite miracles into our lives.

We all have the power to participate in creating miracles for ourselves and others by bringing to fruition what did not seem remotely possible. It’s easy to start by practicing these five miracle-creating strategies.

Healthy Weight Kids Food Choices that Prevent Obesity

n 2010, President Obama and Michelle Obama launched Let’s Move! as their signature initiative to tackle epidemic levels of U.S. childhood obesity. While modest progress has been made, it remains a public health crisis. A brief by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the obesity rate remained fairly stable at nearly 17 percent between 2011 and 2014 for children 2 to 19 years old.

Caused mainly by inadequate physical activity, unhealthy diets and rare genetic factors, obesity increases the risk of significant health problems, including high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, plus joint and breathing issues.

“We must launch our own family anti-obesity campaigns,” urges pediatrician Ricardo Riesco, co-owner of Peds Care, in Dalton, Georgia. “Along with increasing activity levels, we can encourage healthier eating habits at home and lead by example.”

napalmbeach.com

Portions Matter

In today’s “supersize-me” climate, teaching youngsters about appropriate portion sizes is imperative in fostering healthy eating habits.

“It’s often hard for parents to find time to cook a meal at home,” Riesco acknowledges. “Too often, parents will pick up fast food for dinner, which is typically higher in calories and fat, plus the portion sizes are far too large.” When parents can’t prepare a meal from scratch, a frozen, boxed meal can be a better alternative than fast food. “The portions are more appropriate, so there’s more control of how much a child eats.”

Tasty frozen organic meals are now available at many grocers.

Rethinking Family Plates “A large part of the obesity problem stems from children consuming sodas and refined, processed, junk and fried foods,” says Daemon “Dr. Dae” Jones, a Washington, D.C.,

Breakfast and Snacks Breakfast provides fuel for the body and helps young minds concentrate and learn, so experts warn against skipping or skimping on it. “I tell parents to, ‘Get out of the box,’” says Doctor of Naturopathy JoAnn Yanez, executive director of the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges.

“Offer them a balance of fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates.”

She suggests making a batch of pancakes using an extra egg or almond meal for protein, served with fresh fruit and nitrate-free sausage. “I also recommend steel cut oats,” she says. “I make them in advance, and in the morning add in all sorts of good stuff such as fresh fruit, almond meal and almond milk.”

“Although almost everything can be enjoyed in moderation, decreasing or eliminating high-calorie, high-fat, low-nutrient treats

can also help children develop healthy eating habits for life and prevent obesity,” says Registered Dietitian Wendy Palmer, manager of child wellness and a certified health education specialist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. “A medium-sized apple or banana, or a cup of baby carrots with hummus, is a nutrient-rich snack for kids. Avoid snacks that have no nutritional value or are coated in sugar.” For more good ideas, see Tinyurl. com/HealthySnackingOptions.

No Sugary Drinks “There’s a strong correlation between sugary drinks and overweight, obese children,” observes Palmer. “I recommend that parents remove all sugary sodas, sports drinks and juice boxes from their children’s diets. Water and unsweetened seltzer water are great alternatives.”

Palmer notes that many eating patterns are set before a child turns 3, so limiting all sugary drinks, including juices, is an important component of teaching young children healthier eating habits that will last a lifetime.

Studies suggest a strong link between obese children and obese adults, so for parents concerned that their child’s cute baby fat has turned into something more, the time to act is now.

Media Promote Junk Food

by Amber Lanier Nagle

S

econdary causes of childhood obesity include pervasive junk food marketing. A recent study in Obesity Reviews showed that young people exposed to advertising for foods and beverages high in fat, sugar and salt had a higher incidence of selecting the advertised products instead of healthier options. Parents can use simple strategies to limit their kids’ exposure to this mesmerizing influence.

r

naturopathic physician and author of Eat More Plants. “They are low in nutrients, and high in sugars and calories that pack on the pounds.”

Jones says the best way to combat obesity and form healthy eating habits is to replace processed foods with a whole foods diet plentiful in colorful fruits and vegetables, with sides of whole grains, nuts and seeds, and beans and legumes. “These foods are high in vitamins, nutrients, fiber, proteins and healthy fats. Lean meats, chicken and fish are good choices for protein, as well.”

1

Reduce Screen Time—Decrease the amount of time children spend viewing TV, computers, tablets and smartphones.

2

Teach Kids About Advertising—Watch some ads with children. Talk to them about misleading messaging, underscoring how most advertisers’ intentions aren’t in the audience’s best interests.

3

Fast Forward Through Commercials— Take control and bypass ads using a DVR player or streaming service; mute the TV during ads.

rocery bags, bottles, cups and straws comprise much of the 9.1 billion tons of plastic manufactured worldwide in the past 65 years. Once discarded, 79 percent resides in landfills and litters the environment, with more created daily.

Annually, the equivalent of five grocery bags of trash for every foot of coastline worldwide enters the oceans, killing 100,000 marine animals. A 2016 World Economic Forum report says that by 2050, the world’s seas could contain more plastic than fish.

At the 2017 Our Ocean Conference, the Ocean Conservancy and its partners announced a $150 million preventive plan.

“This is a major breakthrough for trash-free seas,” says Susan Ruffo, the conservancy’s managing director of international initiatives. “Our research found improved waste management in Southeast Asian countries [Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and China] can halve plastic going in the ocean by 2025.”

When the United Nations launched the Clean Seas campaign in 2017, Indonesia pledged $1 billion to reduce plastic waste by 70 percent within eight years through education, taxes on plastic bags and investing in alternative products. Increased awareness is

napalmbeach.com

crucial to buy and discard less, create alternatives and recycle more to support the planet’s overall health.

Expanding Footprint

Lacking space, technology and equipment to transform waste into reusable materials, U.S. municipalities typically ship it to a sorter for processing elsewhere; often to China, where new regulations restrict what’s accepted, leaving trash haulers scrambling. Although recyclable, these are the worst plastics:

#3, Polyvinyl chloride, used in plastic wrap, toys, squeeze bottles and packaging for peanut butter, contains lead and phthalate esters (chemical compounds) that affect development of testosterone, according to a study by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

#6, Polystyrene, in Styrofoam, plastic utensils and disposable or carryout containers, is toxic to our brain and nervous system; ask what restaurants use.

#7, Polycarbonate, found in the lining of canned foods, sports drinks, juice drinks, ketchup bottles and clear sippy cups, contains bisphenol A (BPA), a proven endocrine disruptor.

Small Changes Make a Difference Recycling weakens plastic grocery bags, necessitating doublebagging to avoid spills. Average families annually accumulate about 1,500 plastic bags, with 99 percent ending in landfills, as litter or stuffed in the pantry, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. Worldwide, many countries ban or tax bags.

“Annually, 50 billion water bottles are sold globally, including 30 billion in the U.S. That’s 1,500 individual water bottles thrown away per second,” says Deanna Latson, co-founder of ARIIX, which makes water purification systems, in Bountiful, Utah. “One filter can purify the equivalent of thousands of them a year.” The U.S. annual bottle recycling rate is 23 percent.

Beth Terry, of Oakland, California, author of Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too, offers 100 tips at MyPlasticFreeLife.com, including this planet-saving advice: 4 Opt for bar soap instead of liquid, soap nuts in lieu of plastic-packaged powders, and baking soda and lemon or vinegar rather than sprays to clean.

4 Ask the butcher to wrap meat in paper, forgoing trays and plastic wrap.

4 Buy fruit and vegetables at farmers’ markets; return containers for reuse.

4 Turn out-of-fashion garments into cleaning rags; skip plastic scrubbers.

4 Carry reusable water bottles and cloth shopping bags.

4 Avoid over-packaged frozen foods.

4 Use glass jars for leftovers and storage.

4 Buy kitty litter packaged in paper.

4 Choose stainless steel pet food and water bowls.

As a substitute, glass is endlessly recyclable, but facilities are few. Find resource centers at gpi.org/glass-resource-locator.

“Plastic innovations stop at invention and don’t follow through to end-of-life solutions,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and founder of TerraCycle, in Trenton, New Jersey. It accepts both basic and difficultto-recycle waste including pens, laboratory waste, cigarette butts, art supplies, small auto parts, bathroom cleaning waste, toys, candy wrappers and coffee pods (TerraCycle.com).

Contact Influencers

Tell companies when products have excessive or harmful packaging.

In Delray Beach, Florida, Saltwater Brewery created biodegradable, safely edible wheat and barley six-pack rings to replace traditional plastic rings that are hazardous to wildlife.

Restaurants routinely provide fresh plastic straws with refills.

BYOS (bring your own straw), whether plastic, stainless steel or paper, and let management know why. Americans daily discard 500 million plastic straws (StrawlessOcean.org/alternatives).

“Consumers are willing to change if options are available,” observes Szaky. “Manufacturers need to offer high-quality, reusable products designed for reuse equal or superior in value to single-use, disposable items.”

Don’t Overfeed Fido Plus Other Tips to Keep a Dog Cancer-Free

by Karen Becker

C

ancer is the leading cause of canine fatalities in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Often diagnosed too late, the risks, heartache and expense of aggressive traditional treatments have many people searching for healthy alternatives. Although the causes are not well understood, we can give our companion the best possible chance of prevention.

Palm Beach Edition

In studies across species, caloric restriction has been shown to help prevent tumor development and progression. Obesity is strongly linked to increased cancer risk in humans and is assumed so in dogs.

For people, cancer is also connected with excessive glucose, increased insulin sensitivity, inflammation and oxidative stress. Overfeeding a dog is not a loving thing to do.

napalmbeach.com

2

Choose an AntiInflammatory Diet

Creating or promoting inflammation raises cancer risk by facilitating abnormal cells to proliferate. Current research suggests cancer is actually a chronic, inflammatory disease.

Because cancer cells require the glucose in carbohydrates as an energy source, limit or eliminate carbs present in processed grains, fruits with fructose and starchy vegetables.

Cancer cells generally can’t use dietary fats for energy, so appropriate amounts of goodquality fats are nutritionally healthy.

Another major contributor to inflammation is poor-quality, processed pet food, which is typically high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3. Omega-6s increase inflammation; omega-3s do the reverse.

A healthy, moist dog diet contains

Javier Brosch/Shutterstock.com

real, whole, organic, non-GMO (genetically modified) foods, preferably raw—also plenty of high-quality protein, including muscle meat, organs and bone; moderate amounts of animal fat; high levels of EPA and DHA (omega-3 fatty acids, such as those present in krill oil); and some fresh-cut ground veggies; plus antioxidant-rich fruit.

Consider adding both vitamin/mineral and other supplements like probiotics, digestive enzymes, medicinal mushrooms and super green foods. Work with a holistic or integrative veterinarian to determine the best regime.

Exposure 3Reduce to Toxins

Harmful toxins include chemical pesticides like flea and tick preventives, lawn chemicals, tobacco smoke, flame retardants and all common household cleaners. A six-year study by the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, at Tufts University, showed that exposure to lawn pesticides, specifically those applied by lawn care companies, raised the risk of canine malignant lymphoma up to 70 percent.

Conventional flea and tick preventives are pesticides, whether spot-on treatments, pills, dips, solutions, shampoos or collars.

Chemical spot-on products attracted U.S. Environmental Protection Agency attention based on reports of 40,000 adverse events in 2008, including 600 animal deaths.

Because avoiding all toxins is nearly impossible, consider periodic detoxification based on a vet’s recommendation. For a dog with constant exposure to toxic chemicals all summer, a daily oral detox protocol is

sound. If the only source is a monthly dose of a flea and tick product, limit a detox to the week after each pill or topical treatment.

4

Refuse Unnecessary Vaccinations

To properly maintain a dog’s first line of defense—the immune system—don’t overstimulate it with vaccines. Tailor vaccine protocols to minimize risk and maximize protection, considering the dog’s breed, background, nutritional status and overall vitality.

A good protocol with healthy puppies is to provide a single parvovirus and distemper vaccine at or before 12 weeks of age, and a second set after 14 weeks. Cautious vets then order a titer test (at a lab that uses the immunofluorescence assay method) two weeks after the last set of vaccines. If the dog has been successfully immunized, it’s protected for life.

If titer tests indicate low vaccine levels (unlikely), try a booster for only the specific viruses that titered low, and only those to which the animal has a real risk of exposure. Combination vaccines (four to eight viruses in one injection), a standard booster at many veterinary practices, is not recommended.

large breeds. These include increased risk of osteosarcoma in Rottweilers neutered or spayed before their first birthday; double the risk of bone cancer in neutered or spayed large, purebred dogs versus intact (not neutered) dogs; and three to four times the cancer rates for spayed female golden retrievers versus intact females. Opting for ovary-sparing spays (hysterectomy) is another option that preserves sex hormones while rendering the animal sterile.

Applying these five suggestions in caring for a dog throughout its life offers a pet a good chance for a cancer-free and overall healthy, high-quality life.

Maintain Physical Integrity Until at Least 18 to 24 Months of Age

Pineapple

By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP dist.

T

he pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of my favorite fruits. It is an herbaceous perennial, grown in tropical places around the world, with Hawaii now probably being the most famous, though its origins are from Brazil. Our neighboring Central and South American countries produce some pretty good ones. In fact, the best pineapples I’ve ever eaten were those beautiful golden ones in Colombia. There are many varieties, including: Hilo, Kona Sugarloaf, Natal Queen, Pernambuco, Red Spanish, and Smooth Cayenne. You can grow them right here in Florida, and the Boca Raton area was famous for them. I’ve done it, but you just have to understand that the animals like them as much as you do, and they may get to them before you! Pineapples can be eaten raw and cooked in all kinds of great recipes.

After Columbus brought the pineapples back to Europe, they quickly traveled around the world with sailors, because they prevented scurvy, which is a disease due to lack of vitamin C. Besides vitamin C, the main biochemical of interest from the pineapple is bromelain, which is a mixture of proteases (enzymes that break down proteins). Bromelain comes from the main stump of the pineapple harvested after four years.

Pineapples have properties that are anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic (break down fibrin in our body’s tissues), and proteolytic (break down proteins). The proteolytic properties promote wound healing. Pineapple also may inhibit thrombocyte aggregation, which means it may inhibit clotting, which is sometimes a good thing; and it may have anticancer properties in lung cancer.

Pineapple is approved by Commission E, the approximate European equivalent of our FDA, for wounds and burns. Anecdotal uses include: •

• • • • • • • • • •

as an enzyme substitute for digestive symptoms due to diseases of the pancreas stimulate healing after trauma or surgery reduce edema treat inflammatory digestive conditions treat asthma for weight reduction treat constipation treat amenorrhea (lack of menstrual cycle) treat dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods) treat vomiting reduce fever.

Precautions, adverse effects, and drug interactions:

there are no known health hazards with proper administration of therapeutic dosages. Occasional allergic symptoms, stomach upset, and diarrhea have been reported with ingestion. Pineapple should be eaten with caution if you are taking anticoagulants or thrombocyte aggregation inhibitors, as it may increase your chances of bleeding.

Taking bromelain while taking the antibiotics from the tetracycline family will increase the level of antibiotic in the blood, not always a good idea.

Secrets of Longevity I learned living in Japan Cameron Bishop DAOM, L.Ac

A

s a young man I lived in Japan. I trained daily in martial arts, ate what I wanted and survived everything sent at me including several black belt tests. I did take notice of fit senior citizens, but being 22 it was off my radar to think about longevity.

Over the next four years of living in Japan I learned a lot of about living better.

My Japanese friends and I would talk about how Americans ate. Upon looking back they probably were surprised as I was raised on hot dogs and coke in the States. But now I was in a small isolated Japanese town, and before the Internet. To be honest I had no real interest in a healthy diet. I rarely got sick and my stomach was made of iron.

Some of the customs were alien but I accepted. For example: taking off the shoes at the door at work, school and gym. Later I learned studies show less germs are tracked into the shoeless home.

Just think of where your shoe’s soles have been? And now that is on your bathroom floor. In fact in Asia most mothers are horrified when they see American films showing a child on a bed with shoes on.

They cannot understand how a mother could ever allow such a thing.

An Aikido teacher told me to drink two glasses of room temperature water upon waking. It turns out he was so right. Our body is mostly water and particular our joints. We dehydrate during the night particularly if we have the air on. I noticed if my joints were cracking after the drinking water in about twenty minutes the cracking was gone or less.

A Tai Chi teacher taught me in Japan to walk on a bamboo foot massage board for one minute on rising to wake up the body. If you try touching your toes before and after the self massage you will find you can stretch farther. This with the water is great way to start your day. Some books cite this as a way to longevity. If you are urinating strong and clear then you are hydrated.

Morning fluid, foot rolling can be combined with any movement you like whether a simple Qi Gong like the Eight Brocade, walking meditation or dance are all shown even in small amounts to be have long term health benefits. If you go to any park in the morning in Asia you will groups of people doing morning routines. You will notice they are all healthy. Moving water does not get stagnant.

Many cultures have a “Longevity Breakfast’. It often is a soup, congee, or hot breakfast cereal. It often contains a mix of berries, fruits, nuts, good oils, herbs and base of oatmeal, rice or other grains.

For myself I use oatmeal as a base and add trail mix. Then I add a little oil, such as, flax seed oil, coconut or hemp oil. It is a warm nu52

tritiously dense way to start the morning. Cold morning foods are often avoided. You can experiment yourself with a morning longevity food. It is easy and you will feel better.

Another difference I noticed was their dinner plates were smaller. The meat was not the center piece but rather the rice or vegetables. Turns out most good diets consist of the same formula- more veggies, less or little meat, and no processed food. In short they eat less, better, natural and move more.

There is an old saying that some of the best doctors are good water, clean air, balanced breathing, fun movement, whole food, true rest, calmness, laughter with friends and sunshine. If you add a healthy dose of all of these you may find they are your best doctors.

Biography: After graduation from University with degrees in Psychology and Anthropology, Cameron Bishop sold his car and bought a one-way ticket to Japan. He lived and worked in Japan for four years and studied healing and martial arts. Upon his return he attended and graduated NIAOM with a Masters in Acupuncture. He earned his accredited Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine specializing in “Women’s Health” and “Pain Management” which has included work in US and Chinese hospitals. Cameron has been in full time acupuncture practice for over twenty-two years, spending five years working for a Western medical office. He is a board Certified and State Licensed Acupuncturist (AP 762). His web site is www.AskWithin.com.
