Trauma and Brain-Based Psychotherapies

any events can be traumatic; and you can become traumatized even by hearing about a terrible event/s. This is what can happen to many psychotherapists whose business it is to listen to stories of trauma over and over again; or by working with specific clients whose traumatic stories just don’t get “released” or neutralized through the specific intervention/s the psychotherapist uses. In fact the constant weekly repetition of the traumatic “story” can keep retraumatizing both the client and the therapist: The therapist feels helpless to help the client and can’t seem to get any traction on the central traumatic problem; and the client continues to get retraumatized by the retelling of the trauma------WITHOUT RESOLVING the trauma itself. Cognitive behavioral therapy has its place in the therapeutic encounter. It is very effective for learning new BEHAVIORS; for learning scripts about how to behave in different situations. It can help teach parents how to effectively parent their children; BUT IT DOES NOT HELP NEUTRALIZE TRAUMA. Let’s take a trip to the brain for a few seconds. When a little girl is raped by her father, where does that traumatic event go in her brain? The traumatic event DOES NOT GO to the prefrontal cortex which is the area of cognition and rationality-----the part of the brain that cognitive behavioral therapy addresses. Trauma is not a rational phenomenon. It is a very emotionally-charged memory; and it goes to the limbic system, specifically the amygdala. The limbic system, the amygdala, is the area of the brain that Sigmund Freud called the unconscious. It is the area that stores trauma, sensations, sensory things of sound, sights, tastes, touch memories; it stores traumatic memories; That little girl’s brain continues to see, smell, hear, and feel the touch of that traumatic memory of her father raping her. No amount of cognitive or rational-based psychotherapy will access that traumatic event in her brain. The best psychotherapies to access that traumatic event are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. EMDR is the principal intervention used for accessing trauma. That little girl’s rape can be accessed by EMDR and neutralized in three to four one hour sessions of psychotherapy. These three interventions access the limbic system rapidly; and one or the other is used depending on the exact nature of the trauma. How does EMDR work? The client focuses on the scene of the trauma in her mind as she follows the therapist’s moving hand that goes from side to side in front of her eyes. After making about 30 back and forth movements in front of the client’s eyes, the client is asked, on a scale of 1-10, how intense the experience is. The sweeping motions of the hand are continued until the number is zero. But don’t try it yourself. You must be trained and certified in EMDR to use EMDR on someone.

5 Strategies to Fit Exercise into Your Life

hen combined with proper nutrition, regular exercise has a profound effect on our health. Physical activity has been proven to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and disorders that are related to lifestyle. Regular physical activity can improve blood glucose levels, reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, decrease risk of heart disease, promote weight loss, improve brain function and enhance self-image. Your muscular health can have a profound impact on how well you age. And like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. Although no amount of physical activity can stop the aging process, regular physical activity can improve your quality of life and independence as you age. It will also increase your ability to live a full, active life. The U.S. Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least five days per week (for a total of 150 minutes). Muscle strengthening activity should also be added at least two days per week. The benefits of exercise have been clearly documented, but how can we find the time and motivation to incorporate an exercise program into our busy lives? 1. Clarify Your Fitness Goals Just making the decision to take charge of your health and improve your fitness is a powerful first step. Take some time to reflect on the reasons you can benefit from including exercise in your weekly plan. Writing down your goals for physical fitness will enhance your motivation and personal accountability. Include the frequency and types of physical activity you will incorporate. These goals should be Specific (clear and easy to understand), Measurable (know how you will track your progress), Attainable (motivating, but not too difficult or extreme), Realistic (possible to achieve), and Time-bound (contain a specific endpoint or deadline). These are known as SMART goals. 2. Develop Consistency To stay consistent in your exercise routines, establish a good time to exercise, mark it on your calendar and keep the appointment as scheduled. When time challenges come up, remind yourself that working out is a priority and stick to your appointment. Schedule in your different activities such as walking, yoga, dance class, stretching, and swimming. Choose a form of exercise that fits your lifestyle, personality and taste. 3. Find the Time When something is really important in our lives, we find a way to fit it into our schedule. Some types of exercise can be combined with other tasks you are already doing. If you are running an errand at the mall, throw on your tennis shoes and add in a 20 to 30-minute brisk walk around the mall while you are there. Change into your workout clothes as soon as you get home from work. You can fit in an exercise routine before you start your evening activities. Include your family or friends. Take a walk together after dinner or do strength training exercises while you watch your favorite TV program. Even fitting in 10 to 15-minute exercise intervals during your workday will do your body good.

Even if you wake up 15 minutes early to squeeze in a strength training session, a brisk walk or cardio exercises at the gym, this is an effective way to start your day. You will jumpstart your day with more energy and a sense of accomplishment. 5. Try New Activities Keep your activities fun and challenging so you are not tempted to skip your workouts. Incorporate walking/running/hiking in scenic spots and include hills and steps. Find group exercise or dance classes that are convenient for you. Include friends or family members so you have a workout buddy and accountability partner. Enjoy activities like tennis, biking, softball, rock climbing and social dancing. Keep your muscles strong, toned and guessing what you will do next. Even the busiest person can stay in shape and prioritize their health. The benefits to be gained in leading a healthy lifestyle are worth every minute of time invested. Commit to making exercise a priority and never settle for less than feeling fit and fabulous.

Yoga Palm Beach welcomes you to this moment!

aren Burnett created Yoga Palm Beach with the philosophy that life is enjoyed one moment at a time. Karen began her journey studying and practicing yoga over 22 years ago as a Reebok Master Trainer, where she was traveling the world teaching their programs in the fitness industry. Since then, the Yoga Palm Beach owner has practiced with senior teachers of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Power, Iyengar and Yin Yoga and opened Yoga Palm Beach in January 2012. The studio is located on Ironwood Road in Palm Beach Gardens. According to Karen “the successful progress in yoga is the skillful abandonment of bad habits. Do yoga, any kind of yoga, and be better at life.” She says, “I push the boundaries of what a yoga class could be by considering yoga an approach to movement, not a rehearsal of poses.” The studio offers Heated and Non-heated Vinyasa classes, and Yin yoga. Vinyasa is a system of practicing asana, linking breath to movement. This athletic approach to yoga techniques is both physically and spiritually energizing. Regular practice has many health benefits.

and teacher trainees valuable, long term experience as a Senior Teacher of Yoga. Many of our area’s favorite yoga teachers have graduated from Yoga Palm Beach’s Teacher Training and the 2018 program is just about to kick off. Karen says, “The YPB school attracts, challenges and cultivates independent thinkers that want to create meaningful lives.” In August, the studio launches its 100-hour Yoga Philosophy and Yin Yoga Teacher Training which is open to all serious students and teachers from all yogic backgrounds. “I am so excited to share this physical practice of the Yoga Sutras where the participants become scholars of the body and mind!”, says the studio owner. You can also experience this for yourself since Yoga Palm Beach has now offers this unique and transformative class called Raja Yoga. “Everyone needs to know about this secret style of yoga because it has changed my life!”, she says. Karen thanks Yogacarya Phillip Christodoulou, her teacher at Anuttara Yoga Shala, for inspiring this program at Yoga Palm Beach. This class is similar to Yin yoga and is practiced in a warm room and benefits every type of student from beginner to advanced. Karen is not only dedicated to the practice of yoga, but is also a mother of two teenagers, Sydney, 18, who is attending University of Miami this fall, and Lukas, 15, a sophomore at the Benjamin School. Yoga Palm Beach has a full class schedule to empower your body and mind with your spirit. You can view class times and descriptions on the Yoga Palm Beach website: yogapalmbeach.com.

This yoga studio is also a school of yoga offering Advanced Teacher Training Programs beginning in August. Karen Burnett’s understanding of yoga is extensive and she offers her students

Are You Ready to Live Your Greatness? “Whatever work you do is worthwhile only if it touches somebody’s life.” – Sadhguru

xperiencing the connection to our higher calling instills a sense of peace and deep satisfaction with every breath we take. As Marianne Williamson reminds us in her book, A Return to Love, we all ultimately have the same job: to minister to human hearts. There is a career choice that promises a sole-tosoul connection between the practitioner and recipient. A choice that is very appealing for those choosing to have healing techniques literally at their fingertips. A career grounded in the premise that we each have the ability to hear our own inner voice when we allow ourselves to relax and receive. And a career that offers enhanced earning potential and flexible hours, and that opens the door to a life of providing healing and wellness to others. What is this complementary health career path “to minister to human hearts?” Holistic Reflexology works by facilitating deep physical, mental and emotional relaxation. While in this deeply relaxed state, a person can tap into their own inner abilities to heal and manifest all that they desire. Reflexology is the ancient holistic

healing technique that involves strategic use of firm, yet gentle, pressure on specific points on the feet, hands, ears and face that correspond to organs, glands and systems within the body. One of our graduates, Jane Robbins, chose to pursue her dream of ministering to others by enrolling in my Holistic Reflexology Training Program covering foot, hand, face and ear reflexology. Jane loves that she is now empowered to offer comfort, healing and peace to whomever she works on. Jane feels it is her calling to “turn people on to this gift”. She has one client whose MS symptoms just melt away while she is being worked on. Her client told Jane she is calmer and continues to experience a deep feeling of well-being long after each session. And Jane has discovered a new, satisfying “niche,” using her hand reflexology skills to work with musicians and artists. Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology empowers the practitioner and their clients by addressing the whole person – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our attention to the spiritual aspects of healing is what drew Debbie Shields to enroll in my program. Debbie describes her training as “absolutely life-transforming!” The hands-on training and the supportive, nurturing

class environment she experienced helped Debbie perfect her art. The results she witnesses in her clients “are absolutely amazing!” Anne Saleeby, a recent graduate, said enthusiastically, “Clients come to me stressed out, often with painful issues. After a session I hear comments like ‘I feel so totally relaxed!’, ‘It’s heavenly’, ‘I feel so light it’s like walking on clouds.’ They are so grateful! They hug and thank me over and over. And it’s so gratifying to see happy, smiling clients looking forward to another session.” Start right now to “touch somebody’s life.” Live a life, both personally and professionally, that speaks to your higher self and your loving, caring connection to others. 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 and Holistic Reflexology Training Programs in Boynton Beach FL starting July 14th through August 3rd, the Berkshires starting July 21st through December, and in New York City starting August 4th and continuing throughout the year. www.lauranorman.com • 561-272-1220 413-854-2615 • 212-532-4404

nflammation is a common issue found in the body arising from a variety of ailments. Inflammation can be a reaction from an injury, infection, illness, disharmony, etc. Inflammation can attack any area of the body whether it is seen on the outside of the body like a swollen ankle, or on the inside of the body like swollen intestines. Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnoses inflammation depending on many other signs and symptoms, but the most common cause of inflammation from the Eastern Medicine standpoint is due to ‘heat’. There are many ways that Chinese medicine works to ‘clear’ that ‘heat’, depending on the reason for the heat. Some examples of clearing heat are, “clear heat and drain dampness, clear heat and release toxins, or clear heat and cool the blood.” Different acupuncture points or herbal formulas are used depending on which variation of clearing heat the doctor is treating. However, in conjunction with the acupuncture treatments, you can work to clear the heat and in turn, reduce the inflammation from your home. Chinese food therapy is widely used as a part of Chinese Medicine to encourage the healing process. When dealing with inflammation, it is important to stay away from food and drinks that add heat and more swelling to the body. According to Chinese Medicine, each food type has a different ‘temperature’. Food/drink in Chinese food therapy have 5 different temperatures. These temperatures are hot, warm, cool, cold, and bland. These temperatures reflect the actual nature of the food, not how it feels to the touch. Each temperature has a different affect on the

napalmbeach.com

body and works to reach different organs and organ channels in the body. Some examples of the items to stay away from are spicy foods, cheese, butter, seafood, chicken, and alcohol. These types of food and drink will add more heat to the body as well as even more inflammation. ‘Cooling’ foods are important to incorporate into your diet when you are trying to get rid of excess heat and inflammation. Examples of these types of foods are bitter melon, apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, watermelon, and celery. On top of being a ‘cooling’ type of food, celery also increases the blood flow which in turn helps to get that stagnation of inflammation moving through and out of the body. It is also important to drink a lot of water, green tea, and almond milk during the process of removing inflammation. At Meng’s Acupuncture Medical Center, Dr. Meng offers a FREE consultation where she will give you a complete Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis based upon your visual symptoms, verbal symptoms, medical history, etc. She will then discuss with you a treatment plan which may include acupuncture, herbal formulas, and/or Food Therapy.

Living Miraculously: Death Makes Life Possible

’ve been thinking about death a lot lately. Not in a morbid way, but as an inevitable part of life. In the last year and a half, a number of people close to me have passed and so death has my attention. It seems to me that more people are transiting than in previous years and upon research, statistics proves this to be indeed true. And whether it is a generational distinction (Baby Boomers era) or a spiritual ‘Call to Arms’ it has caused me to reflect upon this inevitable life passage. The universe is a complex multi dimensional body of vibrational energy with different frequencies. Some believe that universe has many invisible parallel realities. What if death really is just a passage into another dimension? A baby in the womb does not want to leave his/her warm cocoon. It “breathes” amniotic fluid. It knows no other life and is forced into this one against its will... through a dark tunnel... into the light. Sound familiar? And if we really believe that our loved ones go on to a different place, a better place, then we are faced with the truth that our grieving is for us, for what we perceived was taken away from us. Death has a terrible reputation. We are conditioned to think of it as the final stage. When we identify ourselves with the body, as our body ages and the thought of death becomes more real, it can frighten us. When someone we dearly love passes, it is a natural human reaction and process to grieve. We grieve for the death of others. We grieve for what was taken from us. Grief has many phases: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression,

and then hopefully acceptance and perhaps even transcendence. We have to remind ourselves that no amount of grieving will bring our loved one back, nor is the amount of time you grieve directionally proportionate to the amount of love you have for that person. I think grief groups and counseling are a wonderful bridge to help you cross over from the devastating sadness of grief to the embracing of life. However, if after a while you are using counseling or groups as a way to retell your story of sadness, then you have removed yourself from the wheel of life and are caught in the netherworld of hopelessness. Death Makes Life Possible All of life moves through cycles of regeneration: Birth, growth, flowering, decay, death and rebirth. What makes the universe alive is that it is in a continuous process of recycling. In actuality nothing is ever really created or destroyed, but transformed. So in essence, death makes life possible. Death is not the end of life, but simply a pause in a continuing story. From Swami Rama: “Death is merely a station stop like Grand Central Station in New York City—just a place to get off a particular train and prepare for another. It would be difficult to leave that train once we were hooked on all the distractions and sensual gratifications. We could alternatively pick a train in which we learned to enjoy the natural sights along the way, so that when it comes time to leave the train at Grand Central, we could do so effortlessly and joyfully. Nachiketa learned that death is not the end of life, but simply a pause in a continuing story.” We live in a world of beauty, love and happiness as well as suffering, loss, illness and death. These are powerful transitions; many are positive and some are sadly negative. To be part of the experience of life is to experience and acknowledge change. In fact, the only thing unchangeable about life is that it will change We know that science has proved that energy is indestructible. Our spiritual essence is energy and is also indestructible. Although it’s natural for humans to try to hold on, if we can accept the idea that we are not our body and death does not touch the real self, we will have more appreciation for this life as our “spiritual work.” Navigating through life’s transitions can be much easier when we recognize that we are but lovely players in this cosmic orchestra.

Eating lots of fresh tomatoes and fruit, especially apples, helps heal damaged lungs of ex-smokers, reports Johns Hopkins University research published in the European Respiratory Journal. The study, which followed more than 650 people between 2002 and 2012, also found that those that ate more than two tomatoes or more than three portions of fresh fruit daily experienced markedly less of the natural decline of lung function that typically occurs after age 30.

Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increases cognitive function and reduces fatigue in breast cancer survivors, concludes a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne study. The 299 participants that had undergone chemotherapy an average of eight years earlier wore an accelerometer for a week to measure their average daily minutes of exercise and completed a set of questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. The findings suggest that those regularly performing this level of exercise benefit through improved attention, memory and multitasking abilities. Also, in a recent Portuguese study of 15 women being treated for advanced breast cancer, eight women performed two, one-hour sessions a week of aerobic, strength-training and arm exercises. After 12 weeks, they experienced significantly less fatigue and pain, improved cardiovascular fitness, better emotional well-being and a greater ability to perform daily tasks, compared to the control group.

As Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate becomes warmer, sleepless nights will increase for many, predicts a study from the University of California, San Diego. The research links sleep data on 765,000 Americans collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with climate models that predict warming trends. Rising temperatures could cause six additional nights of poor sleep per 100 people by 2050 and 14 by 2099. Seniors, which have difficulty regulating body temperature, and low-income people without air conditioning, are likely to be the most affected.

The danger of pesticide exposure for expectant mothers has been confirmed by a study of half a million people in the San Joaquin Valley of California, a heavy-pesticide region in which more than one-third of U.S. vegetables and two-thirds of our fruits and nuts are grown. Studying birth records, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found that the top 5 percent of women with the highest exposure had negative effects for all birth outcomes, including low birth weight, gestational length, preterm birth and birth abnormalities.

Steam Baths Ease Allergies Researchers from Thailand had 64 people suffering from hay fever (allergic rhinitis) experience half-hour steam baths three times a week for four weeks. Half received baths without herbs; the other halfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baths were enhanced with herbs such as lemongrass and ginger. The two treatments equally lowered symptoms such as sneezing, nasal itching and nasal congestion, but those taking the herbal baths reported greater satisfaction with their treatment.

Bee venom and its toxic component, melittin, can reduce the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme disease more effectively than standard therapy using antibiotics such as doxycycline, cefoperazone and daptomycin. The laboratory findings come from the Lyme Disease Research Group at the University of New Haven, in Connecticut.

Bee Venom Is Powerful Lyme Disease Remedy

A recent study published in Neurology suggests there is a link between walking speed and the onset of dementia in older adults. Using a stopwatch, tape and an 18-foot-long hallway to measure the walking speed of 175 adults aged 70 to 79, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that in the course of 14 years, those that slowed down by 0.1 second or more per year were 47 percent more likely to develop cognitive decline. The slowing walkers also experienced shrinkage in the right hippocampus, associated with complex learning and memory. The results held true even after realizing that a slowing gait could be due to muscle weakness, knee pain or another disease. Similarly, a study published in Neurology of 93 adults 70 and older found that slow walkers were nine times more likely to develop non-memory-related mild cognitive decline than moderate-to-fast walkers. Walking speed was monitored using infrared sensors in their homes over a three-year period; participants regularly took memory and thinking tests.

Only One in 10 U.S. Adults Eats Healthy Just 9 percent of U.S. adults eat enough vegetables and only 12 percent eat enough fruit every day, concludes a recent study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National guidelines for adults recommend at least one-and-a-half to two cups per day of fruit and two to three cups of vegetables. Consumption is lowest among men, young adults and adults living in poverty.

Air Pollution Affects Teen Menstruation Polluted air raises the chances of irregular menstrual cycles among teenage girls, a new Boston University School of Medicine study reports. Studying the records of 34,832 women and linking that information with levels of pollutants when the women were 14 to 18 years old, researchers concluded that teenage girls in polluted areas have a slightly greater likelihood of menstrual irregularity and take longer to achieve regularity in high school and early adulthood. It may also put them at long-term risk of other hormonerelated problems, researchers warned.

Warming seawater and increasing ocean acidity are damaging reef ecosystems around the world, and some scientists and environmentalists fear a worldwide collapse by 2050. Coral reefs are colonies of millions of tiny animals. In a single night, the corals join in casting a fog of sperm and eggs into the water to either fertilize and make baby coral larvae or settle back onto the reef, fostering growth. Dirk Petersen, Ph.D., founder and executive director of Sexual Coral Reproduction, in Hilliard, Ohio, gathers sperm and eggs from corals, fertilizes them in a lab and returns the baby corals to the wild. “A bunch of us coral reef managers were just so sick of just watching things die,” says Laurie Raymundo, a biologist at the University of Guam. This kind of in vitro fertilization provides at least a glimmer of hope for the future. 22

In Vitro Corals

In a win for the health of the world’s oceans, McDonald’s says it will end the use of harmful polystyrene foam packaging globally by year’s end. Rarely recycled, the material used in beverage cups and takeout containers is a frequent component of beach litter, degrading into indigestible pellets that marine animals mistake for food, resulting in injury or death. The company says, “The environmental impact of our packaging is a top priority.” The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that styrene, used in the production of polystyrene, is also a possible human carcinogen. Dunkin’ Donuts is also phasing out its polystyrene foam cups in favor of paper cups. A planned worldwide project completion by 2020 will prevent nearly 1 billion foam cups from entering the waste stream each year. Customers may still opt for the restaurant’s mugs or bring their own thermos. The foam cups will be replaced with doublewalled paper cups made with paperboard certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative standards.

Animal Product Emissions Rival Oil

According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, three of the world’s largest meat producers, JBS, Cargill and Tyson, emitted more greenhouse gas last year than all of France and nearly as much as the biggest oil companies, such as Exxon, British Petroleum and Shell. Carbon dioxide emissions from raising farmed animals make up about 15 percent of global human-induced emissions, with the biggest offenders being beef and milk production. The nonprofit environmental organization EcoWatch claims that a pound of beef requires 13 percent more fossil fuel and 15 times more water to produce than a pound of soy. It notes, “There is no such thing as sustainable meat, and plant-based alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs take a mere fraction of the resources to produce as their animal-based counterparts.” A vegan diet is not just good for the planet, either; it also spares animals misery at factory farms. “Pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals suffer horribly. These innocent animals face unthinkable horrors: cruel caged confinement, brutal mutilations and bloody, merciless deaths,” says Joe Loria, communications and content manager at the humanitarian group Mercy for Animals.

Algae Alchemy

Dutch Turn Seaweed into 3-D Household Items

Dutch designers Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros have been cultivating live algae and processing it into material that can be used for 3-D printing. This algae polymer can be turned into everyday items from shampoo bottles to bowls and trash bins. They hope it could replace petroleum-based plastics to help alleviate our unsustainable consumption of fossil fuels. They have also experimented with other biopolymers such as mycelium (fungi), potato starch and cocoa bean shells. The pair now operate a research and algae production lab at the Luma Foundation, in Arles, France. They point out that their creations do more than just replace plastic—algae can also suck up carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas driver of global climate change. They explain, “The algae grow by absorbing the carbon and producing a starch that can be used as a raw material for bioplastics or binding agents. The waste product is oxygen—clean air.”

Pooch Patrol

Smart Vest Could Increase Neighborhood Safety

Thailand is the home of a new “smart vest” that could turn stray dogs into personal guardians. Equipped with a hidden video camera, vest sensors transmit live streaming videos when the dog barks, showing what it sees via a smartphone app. Pakornkrit Khantaprap, on the creative team at Samsung, says, “It’ll make people feel that stray dogs can become night-watches for communities.” More tests are needed before the vest can be introduced into additional communities for trial runs.

Man-Made Meat

Laboratory Food to Hit Pet Food Market

As we race toward a future full of high-tech, lab-grown meats in place of the environmentally unsound animal protein industry, a new startup wants to extend this offering to our furry friends, too. Aiming to make the most sustainable, transparent and organic product possible, Rich Kelleman, owner of Bond Pet Foods, started growing it in a petri dish from animal cells, free of the environmental and ethical dilemmas caused by traditional animal farming. Lab-grown meat slashes land use by 99 percent, produces 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions and may be a more economically viable way to feed the growing global population. “Pet food has always been quick to follow human food trends,” says pet food industry consultant Ryan Yamka, who is working with the startup. “If you walked down the aisles this year at the trade shows, you already saw people talking about humanely raised and sustainable pet food.”

Big Save

Conservation Project Protects Part of Amazon The Amazon Region Protected Areas Program (ARPA), a joint venture between the World Wildlife Fund and the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment, has reached the goal of protecting a network of conservation units comprising more than 231,000 square miles in the Amazon River basin, or about 15 percent of the biome’s territory in Brazil. The program is now present in 117 conservation units—including in national and state parks, ecological stations, and biological and sustainable development reserves in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins—that are home to more than 8,800 species. ARPA works with local communities to create, expand, strengthen and maintain these units by ensuring resources and promoting sustainable development in the regions. They benefit from goods, projects and service contracts, such as the establishment of councils, management plans, land surveys and inspection, reaching 30 protected areas so far. ARPA is the largest strategy in place on the planet for conservation and sustainable use of tropical forests.

Natural Pools

Swim Amidst Stones and Plants

Those spending time in their traditional home swimming pool this summer or taking the plunge to install a natural pool have healthy and cost-saving options. Saltwater pools are far better for skin, hair and lungs. Their use of sodium chloride reduces possible side effects from long-term exposure to the chlorine in traditional pools. Natural swimming pools may employ alternative materials instead of concrete or fiberglass, plus aquatic plants, rather than harmful chemicals and completely mechanical filtering systems. They require no chemicals to maintain because they are self-cleaning, mini-ecosystems. According to Mother Earth News, the plants enrich the pool with oxygen, support beneficial bacteria that consume debris and potentially harmful organisms, and provide habitat for fish, frogs, dragonflies and other waterborne life. Some owners separate plants from main swimming areas; others integrate them, creating a pond-like aesthetic. Ecohome, a Canadian sustainable housing resources firm in Quebec, attests, “No further landscaping is required, as with a traditional pool, which can make the total finished cost of natural pools even more competitive. Moving water and the natural predators of mosquito larvae that will inhabit chlorine-free water will make natural swimming pools practically mosquito-free.” Whole Water Systems LLC, in Idaho, concurs that natural pools deploy “systems that have lower maintenance costs than conventional pools.” For a traditional pool, an oxidation system using a generator powered either by traditional electricity or ultraviolet light-capturing solar panels is a chemical-free way to keep water sanitized, reports Care2.com. For greater sustainability and cost savings for traditional pools, the UK’s Poolcare Leisure Limited suggests monitoring for leaks; using a cover overnight and during extended periods of inactivity to reduce water loss due to evaporation; and utilizing recycled glass in the water-filtering system to save 30 percent in energy costs. According to the Sierra Club, covers also prevent pools from becoming a death trap for pets and wildlife and keep pool water cleaner to reduce pumping needs.

Restoring the Nutritional Value of Crops by Melinda Hemmelgarn

hen we think of scientists as men and women in lab coats peering into microscopes, what’s missing is farmers. Our society doesn’t tend to equate the two, yet farmers are active field scientists. How they choose to grow and produce food greatly impacts our shared environment of soil, water and air quality, as well as the nutritional content of food, and therefore, public health. The best field- and lab-based scientists share key traits: they’re curious, keen observers and systems thinkers that learn by trial and error. Both formulate and test hypotheses, collect data, take measurements, assess results and draw conclusions.

Field Science

Diana Dyer, a registered dietitian and organic garlic farmer outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, explains, “I like to help people see the similarities between the scientific process and good, careful farming—all aspects of which revolve around 26

observations, goals, planning, implementation, intervention and analysis of results—then careful re-planning based on those results.” Dyer and her husband, Dick, started farming after long careers in traditional health care, where the focus was on treating people after they got sick. Through their farm work, they wanted to focus on prevention. “Growing healthy food in healthy soil, our goal was to create and nourish a healthy community from the ground up. Communicating the multiple benefits of healthy soils and ecosystems has been at the core of our vision and responsibility from day one,” she says. The Dyers believe that flavor is key to eating and enjoying truly nourishing foods, and based on their professional health backgrounds and farming experience, they connect healthy soil with higher-quality, better-tasting food.

Asked if he considers himself a scientist, Crabtree first defines the term as “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.” Then he replies, “Given this definition, how could any farmer not be a scientist? An organic farmer is a lifelong student of nature, seeking to emulate her wisdom and processes as we refine our production systems. Organic production isn’t just growing food without toxic chemical inputs, it’s a system that requires conscientiously improving soil, water and associated resources while producing safe and healthy food for America’s growing population of informed consumers.”

Organic Farmers: Growing America’s Health

Healthy Soil, Food and People

At the Rodale Institute, in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Andrew Smith directs the new Vegetable Systems Trial, a long-term, sideby-side comparison of both biologically organic and chemically based conventional vegetable production. An organic farmer with a Ph.D. in molecular ecology from Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Smith studies how soil quality and crop-growing conditions influence the nutrient density and health-protecting properties of specific vegetables. “Over the past 70 years, there’s been a decline in the nutritional value of our foods,” reports Smith. “During this time, industrial agriculture, with its pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, increased yields and size of crops, but the tradeoff was a decline in nutrient content, known as the ‘dilution effect’.” In addition, Smith explains, greater levels of nitrogen fertilizer, typical of conventional production methods, may also increase a plant’s susceptibility to insects and disease. Smith’s research will give fellow farmers, healthcare providers and consumers a better understanding of how crop production practices influence soil quality and therefore, food quality. For example, research of organic crops shows higher levels

of vitamin C; higher-quality protein; plus more disease-fighting compounds called secondary plant metabolites such as lycopene, polyphenols and anthocyanin, the plant pigment responsible for the red, blue and purple colors in fruits and vegetables, as reported in a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition. The Rodale Institute has formed partnerships with nutrition and medical researchers at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park. Of particular interest, for example, are extracts from purple potatoes that show promise in helping to kill colon cancer cells. Smith looks forward to identifying growing methods that boost levels of anthocyanin, as well as other health-protecting compounds in crops. The new Regenerative Health Institute, a global research and education center linking soil health to human health, will also be housed at the Rodale Institute. It’s a collaboration between Rodale staff and the Plantrician Project, a nonprofit organization in New Canaan, Connecticut, that promotes whole food and plant-based nutrition, and helps healthcare providers embrace food as medicine as the foundation of their practices.

tional authority in organic agriculture and executive director of the Rodale Institute, explains, “It’s not only what you eat that’s important, but how what you eat was produced. Ultimately, our personal health is linked to the health of the soil.” David Montgomery, a professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington, in Seattle, has visited farms worldwide, witnessing how farmers use regenerative farming practices to bring degraded soil back to life. He learned that grazing animals, cover-cropping and no-till farming free of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides protects and enriches the soil microbiome, which contributes to the nutrient density of plants and human health.

We Are What We and Our Animals Eat

Along with our well-being, livestock farming methods impact our environment, too. A growing body of research including a new study published in Food Science & Nutrition shows that meat and dairy products from animals raised mostly on grass or pasture—as nature intended—contain significantly higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed animals. These naturally occurring fats help protect us from inflammation, heart disease and cancer. Important in brain, eye and nerve development, omega-3 fatty acids are especially critical for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants. Organic farmers, by law, must provide their ruminant animals with significant time on pasture and may not feed them genetically engineered feed or feed produced with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Further, they can’t use synthetic hormones or antibiotics to promote weight gain. In these ways, organic farmers help protect our food, water, and environment from contamination, and reduce the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance. Randolph Center, Vermont, dairy farmers Regina and Brent Beidler diligently study and question changes they witness in their immediate environment. They July 2018

Gary Griggs on What We Must Do to Save Our Coasts

by Randy Kambic

hile Gary Griggs has lived near the coast of California most of his life, visits to the coasts of 46 nations helped shape his latest book, Coasts in Crisis: A Global Challenge. The distinguished professor of Earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, writes on how coral reefs provide shelter, food and breeding grounds for about one-third of the world’s species of marine fish, as well as coastal protection from major weather events. Most coral reefs are now besieged by pollution, overfishing, sedimentation, coastal construction, tourism and global warming. Approximately 3 billion people—nearly half our planet’s total population—live in coastal areas. He cites that hurricanes have caused more U.S. fatalities than any other natural hazard, and the driving forces behind rising sea levels will increase future vulnerabilities unless effective actions are taken now. Griggs, who also wrote Introduction to California’s Beaches and Coast and Living with the Changing California Coast and co-wrote The Edge, today recaps the history and assesses the current status of coasts worldwide. He suggests ways in which current negative trends might be reversed or improved.

How can we better deal with rising sea levels? There are now about 200 million people living within three feet of high tide. Both mitigation and adaptation will be required. We need to do everything possible to cut

back on greenhouse gas emissions, but that’s not going to stop rising sea levels anytime soon. We need to start adapting right away. We can elevate structures, but that’s limited. Historically, we’ve used armoring, including seawalls, levees and rock revetments, which work for awhile, but have endpoints. Ultimately, it’s going to take relocation, or what we call “planned retreat”, moving back when the sea nears our front yard. The more we reduce or mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases, the less adaptation will be needed to cope with climate change.

Why are coral reefs so vital to the global ecosystem?

In the tropical latitudes, coral reef ecosystems have formed the basic biological, geological, economic and cultural framework of area coastlines and island nations for centuries. Today, fisheries and tourism anchor those economies. Millions of people depend on these local ecosystems for their protein supply. About 50 percent of coral reefs are in poor or fair condition, and most are in decline. Whether from pollution, dredging, filling or overfishing, virtually all of those reefs are under significant threat.

Have researchers seen any overfished species rebound?

A 2013 report by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that about twothirds of U.S. commercial fish species that had been seriously depleted had made significant recoveries—28 of 44 fish stocks,

including Atlantic bluefish, flounder and black sea bass—primarily due to better management practices. We now have fisheries restrictions and marine-protected areas in place. To realize some long-term success, we need to limit fisheries in certain areas and for certain species. California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium publishes a Seafood Watch Consumer Guide card specific to regions; it color codes which species are safe to eat and which ones no longer can provide a sustainable harvest, so we know which ones to ask for at grocers and restaurants.

What might mitigate the environmental impact of what you term “coastal megacities”? Eight of the largest metropolitan areas worldwide—Shanghai, Mumbai, Karachi, Tokyo, Dhaka, Jakarta, New York/New Jersey and Los Angeles—are along shorelines. Coasts in Crisis looks at the hazards of hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and tsunamis that their residents are exposed to—along with long-term sea level rise. These incredible concentrations of people not only fish heavily, they discharge large volumes of waste and wastewater. You can’t put 10 million people on a shoreline and not expect impacts. We need to get all of these discharges cleaned up and under control. Shorelines are very delicate biological environments. We also must get global population under control to make a much softer footprint on the planet. It would take four planet Earths to support the present global population if everyone indulged in America’s current consumption habits (FootprintNetwork.org). Sustainability is what we must work toward, whether it’s food, water or energy. Currently, we’re mining the planet for all its resources, which can’t go on for much longer. We need to recognize this and return to equilibrium with what the planet can supply. Freelance writer and editor Randy Kambic, in Estero, FL, is a frequent contributor to Natural Awakenings.

Natural Ways to Reduce Pain

www.castellanosmd.com 1 W Camino Real, Boca Raton, FL

by Kathleen Barnes

hronic pain affects 100 million Americans, with annual treatment costs reaching $635 billion, according to the Institute of Medicine. Worse, opiate-derived pain medications, conventional medicine’s go-to treatment for chronic pain, are addictive and deadly. The Annals of Internal Medicine reports that an estimated 2 million Americans suffered from opioid use disorder involving prescription drugs as of 2016 while 12 million admitted to misusing them. Legal and illegal opioids killed 64,070 Americans in 2016, 21 percent more than the previous year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some opioid addiction stems from use of illegal recreational drugs like heroin and cocaine, but the National Institute of Drug Abuse testified to the U.S. Senate that as of 2014 more than four times as many Americans were addicted to prescription opioids (2.1 million) than heroin (467,000). Natural approaches, less harmful in relieving pain and thereby preventing drug addictions, are addressing and ameliorat-

ing long-term back or neck, nerve and even cancer pain, and saving lives. The first step in preventing dependency is to avoid opioids completely, says Fadel Zeidan, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina: “Opioids don’t work for chronic pain. They may be effective for acute pain, such as right after an injury or surgery, but they are ineffective and addictive in the long run.” Here are several better ways to feel better. Mindfulness meditation: Zeidan recommends mindfulness meditation and cites a University of Massachusetts study of people with chronic pain in which pain lessened by at least 65 percent after 10 weeks of this practice. “Mindfulness meditation is about discipline and regulating one’s attention. It appears to shut down the thalamus, the brain’s gatekeeper, and the brain’s ability to register pain,” explains Zeidan.

Yoga: Strongly positive effects have been reported in several studies, including one on 150 veterans with chronic low back pain from the Veterans Administration San Diego Healthcare System. It showed that 12 weeks of yoga classes reduced pain and opioid use, and improved functionality of participants; many of them had suffered back pain for more than 15 years. Acupuncture: The ancient Chinese modality that’s been used to treat all types of pain for millennia has become such a mainstream treatment that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that healthcare providers learn more about it to help patients avoid prescription opioids. “All pain starts with imbalance,” says Terri Evans, a doctor of Oriental medicine in Naples, Florida. “Acupuncture is about creating balance in the body and in releasing the fascia, where pain patterns get locked.”

Drumming Out Drugs Music, specifically drumming, stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s own morphine-like painkillers. Group drumming can help people withdrawing from addictive drugs, especially those having particular difficulty in conventional addiction programs, reports a University of Arizona at Tempe study published in the American Journal of Public Health. Other supportive studies are listed at ShamanicDrumming.com/drumtherapy.html.

Marijuana: All forms of marijuana, or cannabis, are illegal on the federal level, but medical marijuana is now legal in 29 states and the District of Columbia. In a study from San Francisco General Hospital published in the journal Neurology, researchers found that smoking the first cannabis cigarette reduced pain by 72 percent in a group of patients with painful neuropathy. The body’s endocannabinoid system, found in the brain, organs, connective tissues and immune cells, is one of its natural pain-coping mechanisms, and is most affected by cannabis. Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., associate professor of clinical psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, author of Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence and a member of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, is an advocate of medical marijuana. While regarding it as helpful for chronic pain with little risk of addiction, he concludes it’s “great for a small handful of conditions, but it’s not the cure-all that some are suggesting.” CBD oil: Dr. Hyla Cass, of Marina del Rey, California, an integrative physician expert in psychiatry and addiction recovery, and author of The Addicted Brain and How to Break Free, is more comfortable with CBD (cannabidiol) oil. It’s a hemp product legal in 45 states, provided it qualifies in non-addictive levels of THC, the component of cannabis that induces euphoria (see TheCannabis Industry.org/state-marijuana-policies-map). Some CBD oils contain trace amounts

Let the Sunshine In Just getting a little natural sunlight can have a strong effect on chronic pain, according to a study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

of THC, not enough to induce a “high” or contribute to addiction, but there are also products that contain no THC at all. By definition, hemp’s THC content is less than 0.3 percent versus marijuana’s 5 to 35 percent. “CBD oil won’t make you high,” says Cass. “In and of itself, CBD oil is very potent. You don’t need the THC for pain relief. There’s no need to go down the slippery slope of using an illegal substance.” In addition to CBD oil’s pain-relieving effects on the endocannabinoid system, says Cass, it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory, which contributes to its effectiveness in addressing the underlying causes of chronic pain, confirmed by University of South Carolina research.

nsomnia plagues millions of Americans, and finding a solution can be difficult when the condition is chronic. Prolonged lack of quality sleep compromises health and sets the stage for depression, high blood pressure, obesity, inflammation, poor memory and even serious risk of heart attack. The good news is that natural alternatives, especially regular exercise, offer relief. Northwestern University research published in the journal Sleep Medicine even confirms better results from exercise than other natural approaches.

Timing is Everything

Circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock, governs physiological patterns involving sleep and hunger, and is cued by temperature and sunlight, so timing our exercise is important. Other studies at Northwestern reveal that workouts earlier in the day yield better results because muscles also have their own rhythm (internal clocks) that help them perform more efficiently due to the presence of daylight, and function optimally then. According to the National Sleep Foundation, a decrease in body temperature after an initial increase during physical activity initiates sleep, which also suggests that exercising later in the day, but not before bed, is helpful, as well. Research from Princeton University further shows that exercise can help the brain process stress, helping to minimize anxiety which often accompanies or fosters insomnia. Long Beach, California, holistic podiatrist Don Kim, creator of The Walking Cure Program, affirms, “The first thing to address is the circadian rhythm—what I call the body’s highest peak and lowest valley. The entire system needs to get used to slowing down.”

George Rudy/Shutterstock.com

Kim’s life changed for the better, including his struggles with insomnia, when he made walking a priority after an incapacitating back injury. “Walking is synchronized motion and induces meditative brain waves,” says Kim, who teaches others how to walk for better physical and mental health.

Oxygen is Key

The more oxygen the brain receives, the lower the levels of cortisol that trigger racing thoughts. Other forms of moderate aerobic exercise involving cardio machines, spinning, cross-country skiing, swimming and dancing are also beneficial ways to increase oxygen intake. Chicago fitness expert Stephanie Mansour explains, “Improving circulation helps to increase the body’s energy during the day and helps you wind down at night.” It’s a common misconception that rushing through the day is the same as engaging in exercise. Mansour elaborates: “Exercising is different than just being busy or working outside, because it’s a time where you connect your mind, body and breath. You’re forced to be present. It’s difficult to think about your to-do list when you’re physically engaged.” According to Sleep.org, just 10 minutes of regular aerobic activity anytime improves sleep quality significantly. Plus, it abates the likelihood of sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome that sedentary lifestyles can cause or exacerbate.

bed, but even a few minutes of a restorative pose or breathing technique can be helpful. I’ve found the kundalini yoga meditation, Shabad Kriya, most helpful for sleeping.” Renowned yogi Janice Gates, of Marin County, California, also advises physical practice, as well as understanding the foundational teachings. “It’s important to remember that you’re not your anxiety. It’s easy to identify with suffering and conditions that cause it. Yoga supports us to be free of that conditioning. Keep in mind that an issue can be more mental at times and more physiological at other times, so we want to address both with asanas early in the day to balance the nervous system and mindful breathing at bedtime.” Whichever form of exercise we choose, we should be gentle with ourselves. As Merella reminds us, “The best thing we can do is send ourselves compassion and love.” Marlaina Donato is a freelance writer, author and multimedia artist. Connect at MarlainaDonato.com.

Cultivating Calm

Restorative yoga instructor Naima Merella, manager of Studio 34, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, says, “We’re not taught to value rest, and conditions like feeling overwhelmed and insomnia are the result. Most people in our culture suffer from an overactive fight-or-flight response, so engaging our parasympathetic nervous system, or relaxation response, can balance this.” Merella advocates yoga, breath work and certain qigong exercises. “One option is to do a more active yoga practice to burn off excess nervous energy, and then end with restorative poses to engage the relaxation response. It all depends on a person’s schedule and what they’re able to do. Ideally, I would suggest doing at least 30 minutes of restorative yoga and breath work before July 2018

Anti-Inflammatory

Flavorful Ways to Lower Disease Risk

by Judith Fertig

ny time our bodies sense an “invader”—a microbe, virus, plant pollen or unwelcome chemical—they go into high alert, producing white blood cells to fight it off. Once the danger has been thwarted, normal functioning returns. If we continue to expose ourselves to these threats, then the high-alert process, known as inflammation, becomes chronic. This disturbance of natural equilibrium can lead to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, depression and pain. It can also mask or worsen autoimmune diseases. Eating foods with natural anti-inflammatory properties can help the body function better.

Physician Support

“Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects,” says Dr. Frank Hu, also a Ph.D. and professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “A healthy diet is beneficial not only for reducing the risk of chronic diseases, but also for improving mood and overall quality of life.” 34

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

Hu, Josh Axe, a chiropractor and doctor of natural medicine, in Nashville, Tennessee, and Dr. Andrew Weil, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, promote anti-inflammatory foods, backed by recent studies, on their websites. “Small, gradual changes are typically more sustainable and easier for the body to adapt to,” writes Axe. “So rather than emptying your pantry and sailing off to the Mediterranean, you can pursue an antiinflammatory diet one step at a time.” That’s what Andrea Adams Britt did. A professional wedding cake baker from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Britt experienced bewildering symptoms, including digestion issues, depression, migraines, weight gain and skin irritation. In 2015, she eliminated flour and sugar from her diet, and then added more organic leafy green vegetables, coconut oil and wild-caught salmon. Her symptoms went away one at a time, and by last January, she had also lost 100 pounds. The solution for her was to create flavorful dishes that she enjoyed eating, so she did not feel deprived. Weil advises, “The best foods are those

that offer disease-preventive benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects and delectable flavor. When I eat such foods, I feel as though I’ve hit a grand slam homerun—the sensory pleasure is heightened by the fact that each bite contributes to my overall well-being.” His take on an Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid at Tinyurl. com/Andrew-Weil-Food-Pyramid offers a broad sample of these foods in an easy, downloadable graphic. Reducing inflammation in her body has also led to better mental and emotional health for Britt. “I am a happier person,” Britt says. “I can control my emotions, focus my thoughts and am more at peace.”

Inflammation Food Fixes

Green leafy vegetables such as Swiss chard contain natural antiinflammatories such as vitamins K, D and C, says Axe.

Beets have a natural antioxidant, betalain, an anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits the activity of enzymes the body uses to trigger inflammation, advises Axe.

Sea buckthorn berry juice (known as olivello juice) is one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamin C, says Weil. Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory food that also helps reduce intestinal gas and prevent nausea, advises Weil.

Green tea is best enjoyed hot with a little squeeze of lemon; it may reduce cholesterol levels, ultimately assisting in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, per Weil.

Virgin coconut oil has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, according to a study published in Pharmaceutical Biology. Britt eats a total of one-and-a-half tablespoons a day in hot drinks, salads or soups.

Tomatoes are an easy-to-use and a tasty anti-inflammatory food, says Axe. He notes, “They are a rich source of lycopene, betacarotene, folate, potassium, vitamin C, flavonoids and vitamin E.”

Bok choy has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, as well as a higher concentration of betacarotene and vitamin A, than any other variety of cabbage, according to Weil.

Black cod, also known as butterfish or sablefish, has even more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, notes Weil.

Walnuts, rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, help protect against metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, says Axe. Judith Fertig writes award-winning cookbooks plus foodie fiction from Overland Park, KS (JudithFertig.com).

Multilevel Healing Four Steps to Authentic Living Plus: Simplified Parenting

How to Live a Deeply Joyful Life by Jan Desai

1. Connect with the inner voice. Uncovering authenticity comes from within. We learn to discern and heed the inner voice of wisdom through daily silence, a still space that allows messages to resonate. This ever-present guidance system is always spot on. The key is to connect often. Be grateful for the fruits of quiet moments. Maybe they occur during prayer and meditation, in the shower, walking in solitude without earphones or driving with the radio off. Breathe deeply, cherishing an open heart. Gut feelings often presage inner knowing.

2. Realize the difference between soul and ego. Connected with our soul—the seat of everything positive, the venue of all potential and light—we experience spaciousness, unconditional love and complete support. If accusations, blame or heavy judgment arise, it’s just the ego trying to maintain the status quo. By dismissing its raging, it dissipates.

3. Reconnect with authentic selfhood. We must banish every misconception and lie we tell about ourselves. Falsehoods define us just like the things that are true. Take a good, long look in the mirror

napalmbeach.com

and ask, “Who is this person? What has made me who I am today? What experiences have created this unique divine work? Are my eyes alight or dim? What am I feeling? Am I weighed down by burdens, exhausted by current choices?” Simply ask the questions; don’t look for answers, but be wary of the ego’s vote for falsehoods.

4. Find some crazy joy. Beginning today, do one new thing daily that brings joy. Temporary happiness builds and reinforces joy, but soul-deep joy weaves a base of strength within. It’s an attitude— an outlook. When we are flourishing spiritually, emotionally and physically, it evokes joy in how we live and feel. Move out of familiar comfort zones and do something unexpected. Pursue a heartfelt desire long delayed. Watch a comedy with friends. Take a dance class. Call an old friend. Volunteer somewhere nurturing. Be in this moment. Understand that this is what life will feel like when living authentically, free of masks and pretense— when each day is meaningful and suffused with joy. Remember, authentic living is about the journey, not the destination. Jan Desai is a wife, mother, entrepreneur and visionary who transformed her life at age 50 by breaking with conventions.

Debbie and Mike Schramer, owners of Fairy House Vintage Antiques and Art, in Provo, Utah, create fairy houses made from twigs, mosses, bark and other natural elements. “Instead of paint and paper, we use nature itself,” says Mike, who encourages others to follow suit. “People enjoy time outdoors more intricately as they look for small items.” Although fairy houses are trendy now, the Schramers started building their fantasy worlds in 1987. They’ve authored three books to spark the imagination, Fairy House: How to Make Amazing Fairy Furniture, Miniatures, and More from Natural Materials, Fairy Village and F is For Fairy: A Forest Friends Alphabet Primer board book. At 14, Canadian Evan Sharma, of Kingston, Ontario, is already an active entrepreneur—his artwork now appears on sneakers and clothes. He calls his company RBLB for Right Brain/Left Brain, saying, “To be a whole person, you have to use both the creative side and the analytical side of your brain.” His passion for the environment is particularly expressed in a painting he donated to support the Olympic team. Painted at an elevation of 7,000 feet on Sun Peaks, in British Columbia, he finished with snow for authenticity and texture. This year, he spoke on creativity at the 6 Under 16 program, in Montreal. “Eco-art makes an impact on the world,” says John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of painting + drawing at Ohio University, in Athens. “Right now, my paintings are round. People say they see a long view of the planet or what’s seen through a microscope. Every painting evokes a different emotional response from the viewer.” All Sabraw’s paintings use pigments processed out of polluted streams, often mixed with other standard artist colors. Sabraw has helped develop several ways for artists to adopt sustainable practices. See his TedxTalk at Tinyurl.com/SustainableArtist. He points out that whatever form eco-art takes, its purpose is to show a problem, provoke a response and ask the viewer, “What if…?” Connect with the freelance writer via AveryMack@mindspring.com.

ounts Botanical Garden, in Palm Beach County, Florida, hosted Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea, a thought-provoking traveling exhibit featuring giant sea creatures made entirely of marine debris from beaches. “It graphically illustrates the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways,” says Curator and Director Rochelle Wolberg. The exhibit included Grace the Humpback Whale Tail, the Marine Debris Anemone, Priscilla the Parrot Fish, Flash the Marlin, Water Bottle Jelly, Sebastian James the Puffin, Lidia the Seal, Hugo the Humpback Whale Tail, American Sea Star and Musical Seaweed. Take a look at some of them and check for current exhibit locations at WashedAshore.org. In Mechanicsville, Maryland, ex-iron and steel worker Steve Glorius repurposes scrap metal into natural world and fantasy art sculptures of ocean creatures that also inform about endangered wildlife. His works have adorned museums, restaurants, galleries and gift shops. July 2018

THE JOY OF DIRT Gardening Connects Kids to Nature C

by Barbara Pleasant

hildren benefit from a close connection with nature, and there’s no better place to learn about plants and soil than a garden. Families don’t need lots of space, as even a small collection of potted plants holds fascination for youngsters. The first step is to understand a garden as seen by a child that may be more interested in creative play than in making things grow. Whitney Cohen, education director at Life Lab, a nonprofit that promotes gardenbased education in Santa Cruz, California, thinks kids benefit most from what she calls “dirt time”—spent outdoors interacting with plants, animals, soil and everything else. “When a child plants a seed, tends it over time and ultimately pulls a carrot out of the soil and eats it, they begin to know down in their bones that food comes from plants; that healthy food is delicious; and that we are part of a vast and beautiful web of life,” Cohen says. This learning process may not match a parent’s idea of a lovely garden. “Children don’t make neat rows. They water leaves and flower petals rather than the roots. They accidentally step on young seedlings. Gardening with children is messy and chaotic, but there is always learning going on beneath the surface, just out of sight,” says Catherine Koons-Hubbard,

napalmbeach.com

nature preschool director at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Growing nutritious vegetables like cherry tomatoes allows kids to see, touch and possibly smash a food as they get to know it, increasing the likelihood that they will eventually eat it.

Incorporate Play Spaces “Children might rather be playing than following instructions,” Koons-Hubbard counsels, but it’s easy to incorporate space for free play in the garden. Depending on a child’s imagination and which toys are used, a spot of diggable soil in the shade might morph into a dinosaur refuge, pony farm or secret place for fairies. Kids are also attracted to stepping stones, which encourage hopping, stretching and even counting. Don’t be surprised if kids turn some of them into a stage or a place to stack rocks or leaves. Children love mixing soil and water together into mud. When given a bucket of clay, soil and water, kids quickly discover they can use mud to paint, sculpt or make fantasy pies decorated with leaves, sticks or flowers. “Playing in mud fully engages the senses, and there are studies that show it can benefit the immune system and make us happier,” says Leigh MacDonald-Rizzo, education director

at the Ithaca Children’s Garden, in New York. References include the University of Bristol, UK, University of Colorado Boulder and University of California, Los Angeles. “Mud isn’t anything, really, and that open-ended quality lends itself to joyously creative play that helps children develop a relationship with the natural world,” she says.

Top Tools for Kids Small children notice things close to the ground, which become even more interesting when seen through a magnifying glass. Sturdy kids’ versions in bright colors are easy to find if they get misplaced outdoors. Curious children love getting a close-up look at worms and other critters in the worm bin or compost pile, or the structures inside flowers. “But when we just let the children explore, they’ll find loads of intriguing objects we may never have thought of, like water caught on the fuzzy underside of a leaf, a sparkly rock or rough tree bark,” Cohen says. Children love to water plants, especially during hot summer weather. Small watering cans that hold only a little water are easy for kids to handle and limit overdoing it. Waterfilled spray bottles also encourage exploration while keeping kids cool. Digging to discover what’s underground comes naturally to kids, and preschoolers do best with toy-size tools with short handles. Older kids can control child-size spades and rakes better than heavier adult tools.

Keeping Outdoor Space Safe Remove the worry from gardening with kids by minimizing safety risks. Replace poisonous or prickly plants with vegetables, herbs or edible flowers and teach kids of all ages not to eat plants unless they have first been checked by an adult. Insects can be both interesting and threatening, and flying insects often are attracted to bright colors. Dress kids in light, neutral colors to avoid unwanted attention from bugs. Avoid chemical fertilizers and sprays, and opt for organic solutions.

conditions, inflammation, degenerative disk disease, cancer and even shorter lifespans since late 1996, when GMOs and associated poisons entered America’s food supply. For example, most GMOs like soy, corn and canola are designed by Monsanto to tolerate high doses of its Roundup herbicide. Corn is also engineered to produce an insect-killing poison called Bt-toxin. Together with pesticides sprayed on or produced inside GMO crops, the side effects from genetic engineering create dangers. Monsanto’s “Roundup-ready” corn has higher levels of putrescine and cadaverine, compounds responsible for dead body odor. They promote bad breath and also can enhance the risk of allergic reactions and cancer.

Getting Cancer from Food

GMO Toxins Permeate Pet Foods

by Jeffrey Smith

n the late 1990s, the nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, “animal doctor” Michael Fox received many letters about dogs and cats with diarrhea, itchy skin and other persistent disorders. He advised all inquirers to immediately remove foods that contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). Dozens of follow-up thank-you notes verified that his recommendation worked. “One of the main reasons I came to the conclusion of blaming GMOs in pet foods for this cluster of health problems is that essentially, nothing else in the health background of these animals had been changing,” says Fox. Many vets have also reported a rise in pet obesity, skin

Amazing Recoveries

Numerous veterinarians see good results when pets switch to non-GMO food that’s free of synthetic pesticides. Veterinarian Barbara Royal, owner of The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center, in Chicago and author of The Royal Treatment: A Natural Approach to Wildly Healthy Pets, says, “Allergies, gastrointestinal problems, autoimmune diseases, behavioral problems [and

Why More Pets Are Getting Cancer

Cancer rates among our country’s 185 million pets are skyrocketing, especially among dogs. Canines have the highest cancer rate of all mammals; in America, about half are struck with the disease. In 2015, the World Health Organization classified Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, as a “probable human carcinogen.” Insufficient human studies exist, but a goodly number of animal studies confirm that it causes cancer. Preliminary tests commissioned by the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), an educational nonprofit, on the dangers of GMOs, revealed that six popular dog and cat foods contained more glyphosate residues than most human foods. Possibly because pets are exposed to Roundup from spraying both foods and lawns, a pilot study by Health Research Institute Laboratories, which tests glyphosate levels in food and environments, found the levels in dogs’ urine were 50 times higher than the average in humans.

other conditions] improve when we take the animals off of these GMO-laden, glyphosate-ridden foods, and put them on something that’s more organic and natural. It’s a dramatic change.” In a survey conducted by IRT, 3,256 people that adopted a non-GMO and largely organic diet reported improvements in 28 health conditions, many of which have increased in the U.S. parallel with the growing prevalence of GMOs and Roundup. Further, 80 pet owners cited improvements in status for eight health issues, including digestion, allergies and skin conditions, when their pet’s food was changed. Plausible explanations include that glyphosate is patented as an antibiotic, and so easily kills beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This could possibly interfere with digestion, detoxification and immunity.

According to integrative veterinarian Karen Becker, in Chicago, the Healthy Pets expert for Mercola.com, “We know now that animals consuming genetically modified foods… can change the terrain of their GI tract.” Most notably, glyphosate and Bt-toxin are linked to leaky gut—unnatural holes or gaps created in intestine walls. Veterinarian Marlene Siegel, owner of the Pasco Veterinary Medical Center, in Lutz, Florida, says, “We know that the root cause of most disease is inflammation; and that inflammation is coming from the leaky gut.”

Organic Surpasses Non-GMO

GMOs are not the only crops drenched with Roundup. It’s also sprayed on other foods to dry them, often just a few days before harvest, including wheat, oats, barley and other cereals. It’s also used on

lentils, citrus orchards, sunflowers, potato fields and vineyards. Organic growers and processors are not allowed to use GMOs, Roundup or other synthetic toxins. It’s safest to choose organic; if unavailable, at least buy verified non-GMO. Jeffrey M. Smith is founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology and its campaign, Protect Pets from GMOs and Pesticides, at PetsAndGMOs.com. Author of the bestseller Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, his upcoming film, Secret Ingredients, interviews many that recovered from disease after switching to organic food.

Coenzyme Q10 By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP dist.

oenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a chemical found naturally in almost all the cells of our body. Its primary biochemical action is as a cofactor in the electron transport and energy production cycles of ATP (an energy chemical) in the mitochondria of our cells. Since most cellular functions are dependent on ATP, CoQ10 is therefore essential for the health and energy of every organ and function in our body. Although we normally make enough CoQ10 in our bodies, there may be times when we are deficient. The organs that are the most active will use up their biochemical reserves first. Research shows that cells which seem to have the highest requirements for CoQ10 are in the heart, immune system, digestive tract and gingiva (gums). Deficiencies in CoQ10 are thus found in diseases of these organs/systems, ranging from congestive heart failure (CHF), cardiomyopathy (diseases of the heart muscle), high blood pressure (hypertension), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), periodontal (gum) disease, and other conditions, from cancer to obesity to diabetes. Here are some of the results: CARDIAC DISEASE: CoQ10 is lower (and gets lower with severity of disease) with ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular diseases (aortic and mitral valvular stenosis or hardening), septal defects (holes in the heart walls), congestive heart failure (CHF), angina, arrhythmias (premature ventricular beats), hypertension, and patients who have undergone heart surgeries. CoQ10 has been given to patients in every one of these disease conditions under research studies with positive results in every category. In fact, in one large research trial of 1,113 CHF patients, receiving 50-150 mg/day of CoQ10 for 3 months, between 50-80% of the patients reported improvements in the following areas: edema, shortness of breath, palpitations, arrhythmias, insomnia, and vertigo (to name

just a few). CoQ10 has shown good results in patients with hypertension, reducing their blood pressure an average of 18 mm Hg. CoQ10 given to patients a week prior to heart surgery for valvular lesions had fewer cases of low cardiac output after surgery. IMMUNE SYSTEM AND CANCER: CoQ10 increases the immune response in patients with low immune functioning. It increases levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in chronically ill patients. It increases levels of helper T cells in AIDS patients as well as reduces their chances of opportunistic infections. CoQ10, given with other vitamins, has reduced tumor size in the breast, lung and liver in women with breast cancer and metastases. PERIODONTAL DISEASE: CoQ10 reduces signs and symptoms of periodontal diseases, which include swelling, bleeding, redness, pain, gingival pocket depth and tooth loosening. Gastric ulcer: studies in lab animals have shown CoQ10 helps heal stomach ulcers. OBESITY: CoQ10 plus a low calorie diet caused greater weight loss than diet alone in obese individuals. Physical performance: studies have shown little and sometimes no increase in physical performance (ergogenic) benefits. NEUROLOGICAL: patients with muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease have all shown varying degrees of improvement. DIABETES: studies of patients with diabetes mellitus on insulin had varying degrees of success with CoQ10, with 31% of patients lowering their fasting blood sugar levels by 30%.

DRUG REACTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS: CoQ10 may decrease the effectiveness of warfarin or other anticoagulants. It may improve pancreatic beta cell function in diabetics, so dose adjustment of insulin or diabetic meds may be needed. Patients taking HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (such as Lipitor, etc.) for high cholesterol/triglycerides may need to supplement their diet with CoQ10, because those drugs inhibit it. CoQ10 should be avoided in people with liver failure, and avoided during pregnancy and nursing as not enough is known about its effects on mother and infant. Adverse effects of CoQ10 are rare, occurring in less than 1% of people, but they are: dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, photophobia (light sensitivity) and skin rash. DOSAGE: No official standards have been established for the use of CoQ10. It is found in animal and vegetarian sources, in capsules, tablets and softgels. Average dosages for all of the above mentioned conditions ranged from 50-200 mg/day. Doses higher than 400 mg/day have not had adequate research yet. It generally takes 4-12 weeks to see results. Publisher’s note: Much higher doses are given to posttransplant patients and open heart patients to aid in healing and 200mg/day has become a standard of care given to patients for most routine surgical postop healing.

WHAT IS COQ10?

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, exists in mitochondria and is an essential component of the cellular energy system. Synthesized in all body tissues, CoQ10 is fat-soluble material, naturally present in the foods we eat. Involved in the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phospate, the energy carrier of human body) CoQ10 also acts as a powerful antioxidant helping to scavenge free radicals. Any system in the body involved strong metabolism such as digestion, breathing, the beating of the heart, or the contraction of muscle requires CoQ10; the more active the system, the more CoQ10 is required, and the more CoQ10 retained by the tissues involved in each system. Because CoQ10 is naturally 'biosynthesized' in the body from trace elements derived from a healthy diet, it is believed that those with inadequate diets may also benefit from taking CoQ10 as a nutritional supplement.

CoQ10 contained within the organs of the human body systems involved in metabolism and activity. After 40, CoQ10 levels diminish rapidly. July 2018

Alzheimer’s: There is Hope! by Dr. Yolanda Cintron

e live in a great country full of opportunities and information. This month we celebrate our freedom. But what happens when you lose the ability to remember? Do you know someone in your life who has been afflicted with Alzheimer’s? Are you afraid that you can end up like one of the 50 million people worldwide already suffering some type of dementia? This number is estimated to double in 20 years. In America alone we have 5.7 million people living with Alzheimer’s and it will cost our nation 277 billion dollars in 2018. I experienced the devastation of Alzheimer’s when visiting my uncle and noticing he was joyful, but something was off. As the stages progressed, so did the confusion for our entire family as to what to do. I asked myself, “How did this happen and how can this be avoided?” This month’s case study is related to Alzheimer’s, dementia and other neurological, chemical and electrical factors impacting the brain. Patty had been doing research for a few years about replacing her old mercury fillings – toxic loads of metals having an impact on the brain. Not only was her husband’s mother diagnosed with dementia, but her mother was now homebound with Alzheimer’s. Upon examination we found that Patty had a mouthful of mercury fillings, porcelain fused to metal crowns and full

gold crowns. Our experience has been that the majority of crowns we have removed, including gold crowns, have mercury underneath. With a history of Alzheimer’s and dementia in her family, she wanted them all out. Her husband came with her for a post-op visit to view treatment photos. Sure enough, she had mercury under ALL her crowns, with severe CORROSION. Her husband booked his appointment immediately to have his removed. Now that she has removed all her toxic metals, Patty is no longer a “battery”. She is on her way to slowly detoxify her body properly. The metal mercury (Hg) goes from inside the tooth connecting to the dentinal tubules to the fluids into the periodontal ligaments into nerve cells in the brain. The beta tubulin in the brain synapses will have a reduced conductivity when mercury takes its place. Brain studies of post-mortem patients who had Alzheimer’s show the same brain pattern as mercury-poisoned brains. Possible contributors to a diseased brain: • Link to toxic metals • Mercury exposure found in our diet (fish & shellfish) including tuna • Environmental mercury (runoff into our water systems from gold mining, metal refineries, novelty jewelry) • Excess copper, zinc, iron • Vaccines

• EMFs, cell phones, Wi-Fi • Genetic risk factors - test for ApoE protein • High E4 increases risk • The protein plaques of beta amyloids in the brain could be created as our immune system fights off invading microbes There is Hope I recently read this story. On June 11, 1983, a CT scan of a patient’s brain indicated Alzheimer’s. He decided not to accept the diagnosis as an irreversible and untreatable terminal disease. He changed his diet, avoided foods and chemicals to which he was allergic, took vitamins, high Omega 3 and minerals in which he was deficient. On April 4, 1987, after he had all his mercury fillings properly removed, he was retested with a CT scan. The doctors could not believe what they saw. His brain no longer had evidence of Alzheimer’s. This raises the question in my mind: Is the brain capable of reversing neurological damage? I want to believe in this word of God: “Praise the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits— Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.” Psalm 103:2-3 For more information on this topic, we welcome you to email Info@ DrCintron.com, call 954-938-4599 or visit GoNaturalDentistry.com.
