Dr. Meng, has over 18 years of experience as a doctor of Chinese medicine.

DDS

Bio-electric DDS Therapy features:

(Digital Device System) Bio-Electric DDS (Digital Device System) is a perfect combination of Chinese Traditional Medical Theory and modern bio-electricity principles. The DDS machine is being used to implement traditional Chinese medicine and energize meridians within the body. Bio-electric DDS is a drug free therapy option for people in pain by prompting the body to produce endorphins to help relieve pain. It is a safe and reliable alternative for acupuncture, cupping therapy, therapeutic massage, etc. By applying a bio-electric field in conjunction with a specially formulated alkaline cream, the patient’s own body bio-electricity is enhanced. Bio- Electric DDS technology also aids in regulating the body’s acid-base balance.

One DDS treatment = • 45 lymph drainage treatments • 6 hours of tuina body massage • Running 3.7 miles and excess fat depletion • 3x increase in your whole body fluid supply • 3 hours of increased oxygen supply (ie oxygen bars) • 50x oxygen opening the chest exercise (open the lungs, enhance breathing) • 36,000 x enhanced movement of the cells • deplete 4.1 grams of internal toxins

• It is painless • Provides the benefits of acupuncture (without the needles), body massage, scraping, and cupping • Clears the blockage of meridians • Helps relieve pain • Helps promote wound healing • Helps boost the immune system • Helps with insomnia • Helps anti-aging • Helps to improve blood circulation • Helps minimize fatigue • Activates nerve and muscle tissue • Regulates the digestive system • Anti-inflammatory effect

From Fear to Empowered Action

A

s a certified thermography technician, I’ve had conversations with a number of women who say their health care providers are not open to alternative screenings such as ultrasounds or thermography scans instead of mammograms. Women can be left feeling guilty, irresponsible, or even reckless for exploring or choosing other screening options.

But what if, instead of fighting disease and operating from a fear-based model, we could change our beliefs and take take charge of our health instead?

Focusing on Prevention OBGYN and renowned author Christiane Northrup states: “…as women, we have been conditioned to believe that our breasts are two malignant lesions sitting on our chests about to kill us at any moment. New screenings and treatments are continually added into proto-

en model of care to women’s health care in general? Here are a few ideas: Know your facts. A Cornell study shows that thermography is 97% accurate. That is a higher rate of accuracy than mammography. Thermography has been cleared by the FDA as an adjunct screening tool.

col. And, once screenings and treatment regimens become ‘standard’ it is hard to remove them from practice, even when the evidence supports discontinuing them. In addition, even ‘enlightened’ doctors simply don’t want to risk NOT prescribing regular breast cancer screenings out of fear of litigation.”

In addition to my work as a thermography technician, I am also a licensed home birth Midwife and I have seen the miracles that happen when parents take charge of planning for the birth of their baby. Regardless if they decide on a home birth or a hospital birth, they feel empowered by weighing their options and designing a birth plan that is right for them.

Informed choices based on evidencedbased care can help bring about better birth outcomes and less trauma.

How can we take this midwifery model of care and translate it to general women’s health care?

Turning Fear into Action Birth activism has come a long way in recent decades. I see women and their families demanding better care with fewer interventions. Families are far better educated and speak up about their rights and wishes for their care. That has lead to family integration in the birth room, a recent increase in midwife-assisted home births, “gentle” Cesarean births, more skinto-skin bonding, and better breastfeeding support. The system is far from perfect, but changes have been made and hopefully will continue.

Applying it to Our Overall Health How can we translate this consumer-driv-

Look outside the box. Follow alternative health experts that appeal to you. Dr. Christane Northrup, Dr. Mercola, and herbal expert Susun Weed are a few I enjoy reading.

Pick the screening method that is right for you. You, as an informed consumer and your own best advocate, have the right to pick the screening method that you feel is right for you.

Make a commitment to improve your health. I don’t just mean diet and exercise.

Research shows that our minds play a significant role when it comes to our health; in his book “You are the Placebo,” Dr. Joe Dispenza looks at our own mind that has the power to heal our body.

Set achievable and mindful goals. For example, instead of setting the goal to cut out all sugar from your diet immediately – which may be overwhelming and could end with you giving up altogether – start small by cutting out a few sugary items first, and then ramp it up over a period of time until your goal is achieved.

Instead of simply looking for a health care provider to fix all of our health concerns, let’s participate fully in our own journey and wellbeing. Taking an active role in your own health can be extremely empowering and rewarding.

You Have the Power

A

s we go to the polls on November 6th, in one of the most important elections of our time, we have many crucial choices to make. Thinking about this led me to consider how choices we make impact our daily lives.

Many spiritual philosophies say that what we think about affects the choices we make each day. And those choices, even the seemingly insignificant or unconscious ones, can either enhance our life, health and well-being—or do the opposite.

We are continually making choices, whether consciously or not, about what we eat, whether we exercise and what healing paths we follow, and what we put into our minds—what books, magazines and newspapers we read, what social media we follow, what TV shows we binge on and what movies we watch.

What we say to others is also a

choice, and just as important is what we choose to say to ourselves. Have you ever gone a whole day without saying or thinking anything negative—about yourself or anyone else? Try it and you’ll see that it is a choice.

Choices repeated over and over become habits. Habits combine to create a lifestyle that is either a joyful, healthy existence that supports us, blesses others and helps heal our planet—or a less satisfying one.

The good news is that, each and every day, we have the power to change our trajectory by consciously making positive choices.

We are infinitely capable spiritual beings—when we step into our power. The Universe is constantly presenting us with opportunities to grow and prosper. When we are in alignment with our higher self we can access our power, see these opportunities and be inspired to act upon them.

Years ago, a friend of mine visited me at college. She wanted to share something

Laura Norman

amazing with me that a friend had shared with her. That “thing” was reflexology.

My first session with her changed the entire trajectory of my life.

There were very few reflexology classes available then, and every one I could find. I started giving reflexology to anyone who would let me. In time, I was able to start a full-time practice. So many people I “touched” wanted to learn how to do reflexology that I created training programs in foot, hand, face and ear reflexology. I’ve since trained thousands of reflexologists, who have touched the feet of hundreds of thousands of others.

I went on to create instructional DVDs and the best-selling book on reflexology, which has sold half a million copies in several languages around the world.

All of these wonderful outcomes came from my friend’s choice to share something with me and my choice to accept that gift and understand its value.

And it’s just as true today. The choices we make now, both individually and collectively, affect our destiny, the destiny of those we touch and, ultimately, the direction of humanity.

Start using your power to make better choices right now by going to the polls on November 6th. Each time you choose from a place of alignment and personal power, you are creating the future you desire for yourself and generations to come.

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 sessions in Holistic Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching in Delray Beach and Reflexology Training and Continuing Education Programs in Boynton Beach beginning November 3rd and November 10th (see our ad for all class dates).

Living Miraculously- Miracles Happen When You “Open Your Heart” Heart- based living is the ability to open your heart. It is the ability to send love from your heart to another and to the world with no expectation of return. And the miracle is when you do send love unconditionally it has an automatic boomerang effect which blesses not only the receiver, but the giver as well.

I

love to write about Thanksgiving and because it is November and I get to indulge my “appetite” for my favorite holiday. Yes, I love the food and the gathering with friends and family. (You can have a stress-free Thanksgiving with family, but that’s another article!). Football, naps and black Friday?

Not so much.

I’ve always loved the idea of having one entire day to simply pause and time in some form of reverence for the people and things in our lives of which we are grateful.

And even if you do make time every day for gratitude (and I hope you do) having those thoughts of gratefulness uppermost in our minds and filling our energy fields around us, well, to me that’s nirvana.

In my opinion, if ever there’s a time that we need to pause and put what’s most important into perspective, it’s now. It’s so true that people are being challenged on so many levels these days and the word I hear most often is “transition.” It’s easy to get so distracted with all our to-do’s and what’s happening in the world that our lives and our vision can become myopic, and we have little time for what is most important.

And what is most important? In my opinion, it is to live with a pure and open, compassionate heart. A pure heart is the doorway to the divine. A pure heart is marked by the uncompromising desire to serve the greater good. What’s more, a pure and compassionate heart is a beautiful model which helps shape compassionate behavior in our children. It is heart- based living.

“Heart-based living is about including your heart’s intuition as you navigate through life’s relationships and events. This brings balance to your mind and emotions and unfolds your authentic self.”

– Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath I have clients who ask me “but won’t I set myself up for hurt when I send love and it isn’t returned?” Or, “why should I send love to someone who has deliberately hurt me?” As far as setting yourself up for hurt by sending love, you can’t be hurt if you’re not attached to the outcome. Okay, so we’re going a little deep here, just know that to transcend “personal” love and to send the higher form of unconditional love is one of the most amazing and blessed things you can do in your life, in the lives of others and in the world. My answer to the next question: Well, do you really think that happy people do mean things? Of course not and so it makes sense that love is what they need. People think that sending love to your perceived enemies is approving of their actions and allows them to continue in their hurtful ways, No, no… not at all.

Love is one of the highest vibrations very close to enlightenment. When bombarded with “love energy” people will either open their heart, soften their ways, experience a healing… or if the person is so deeply entrenched in negative energy, well, they cannot stay in that vibration of love and will have to leave that energy space and go away.

Below is my take on a visualization you can try to Open Your Heart. Would welcome feedback on how it works for you!

“Open My Heart - Visualization” Place your right hand over your heart, breathing in and out deeply. Imagine a

napalmbeach.com

beautiful pink bubble of light surrounding you. Slowly, mentally say the words “OPEN MY HEART” three times. As you say these words feel a rush of gratitude and love fill your heart and your entire body. Now imagine that in front of appears someone whom you love very much, whether that person is alive or someone who has passed on. Look deeply into their eyes and feel the connection, spirit to spirit. Say the words “OPEN MY HEART” 3 times, sending them so much love, so much healing and gratitude from your heart to theirs. Your hearts are now in coherence. Notice how beautiful it feels to do this.

Now imagine that another person has appeared in front of you. This is someone whom you’ve have had or have feelings of disappointment or anger or resentment towards. They are standing there not saying a word but you notice they seem somehow softer. Look deep into their eyes and imagine that you can see or feel the pure energy of their spirit that resides within them…not their personality….only their spirit. Now Say the words, “OPEN MY HEART” three times, sending them so much love, healing and gratitude from your heart to theirs in the form of a beautiful pink light. Notice how beautiful it feels to do this. And then you notice that amazingly, this light is now coming back to you from their heart to yours. Your hearts are now in coherence and you are overwhelmed with feelings of love and gratitude and humbleness. In this state you are at peace, you are one with the world and you can bring healing to anyone or anything!

Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!

Namaste! Michele

Give your Immune System a Boost Without Over the Counter Medicines

D

o you feel sick or “drained” at least once a month or every couple of months? Do you have a lingering cough from a cold that you just can’t get rid of?

These could be results of your immune system functioning at a low rate. Your immune system is an extremely important system in your body in charge of fighting off foreign invaders that may enter your body. We live in a world surrounded by foreign substances from the toxins in the air we breathe to the toxins on the food we eat. We are constantly inhaling, ingesting, and placing foreign substances into and onto our bodies. Without an active immune system, we would not survive all the toxins and chemicals we are constantly exposed to.

There are many ways to keep your immune system functioning at a higher level. Some of these include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, and keeping stress levels lower. For most of us with our busy

daily schedules, it may be a task to do all of these things. This is where acupuncture can really give you that extra boost that you may not experience elsewhere.

Acupuncture needles placed in strategic points in the body activate your bodies natural healing response as well as your healthy cells to fight off foreign invaders. Studies have shown that acupuncture actually increases the amount of T-cells in the body which are responsible for fighting infections and destroying harmful bacteria.

Zusanli or Stomach 36 is a specific acupuncture point known as the main immune

system point. There are stories dating back to ancient China that talk about how manipulating this point with different Chinese medicine techniques actually increased the life span of those patients. This point is one of the strongest most important points for an acupuncturist to treat for someone needing a boost to their immune system.

However, acupuncture points work best in combination with other points or techniques, so this may not be the only point you receive during a treatment.

Remember that the most important person in your life is you! Make sure to take care of yourself and your body. Take that little extra time out of your day to do something for yourself and for your health.

Call Meng’s Acupuncture Medical Center today to schedule a FREE consultation and keep your immune system and overall health in tact! (561) 656- 0717.

Women’s Spiritual Awakening Group:

W

omen’s Spiritual Awakening Group: this is an ongoing group for women wanting to deepen their commitment to leading a more spiritual, awakened life. We will meet for 4 sessions on Fridays 11/16, 11/30, 12/7 and 12/14 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm; the fee is $90. The group will be led by Pearl Rauberts, who has been leading Women’s Spiritual Awakening groups since 2003; we will meet in Pearl’s office at 1489 North Military Trail, Suite 209, West Palm Beach 33409. Advance registration is required: email Pearl at pearlrauberts@hotmail.com or call her at 561-333-3372; you can also contact Pearl to discuss whether this is the right women’s group for you.

We will spend some time each session participating in a guided group meditation led by Pearl, some time in discussion of Spiritual Awakening concepts and some time in discussion of what challenges are preventing participants moving forward on their path and living a happy and awakened life. Some of the areas we will explore are reincarnation and karma, mindfulness, non-judgement, finding inner peace in this stressful world, gratitude, and better understanding unconditional love. This will be a nonreligious group but it will be assumed participants accept the idea of being on a spiritual journey taking place over many lifetimes.

There is tremendous power in women coming together in women only groups and committing to supporting each other. We will create a confidential, safe, non-judgmental space and the number of participants will be limited so as to allow each participant time to share and participate fully. Our goal is for each woman to feel greater confidence in being able to live a richer, fuller and more spiritual life as we approach 2019. If the group wishes, we will start a new series of sessions in the new year.

NO ONE IS COMING

Find Your Power In Self-Motivation

A

ll of us have goals we wish to accomplish.

Unlike motivation offered by others, self-motivation comes from within. Instead of external motivation which is temporary and will dissolve in a few hours or a few days, self-motivation is a developed skill that can be practiced daily until one day you have become master of your own life.

203 SE 1st Ave | Boca Raton, Fl 33432

(561) 891-7527 | WWW.HLSALON.COM

My new book NO ONE IS COMING (Find Your Power In SelfMotivation) is designed to help readers rekindle that motivation and discover a clear path to who they want to become. This book is based on a unique, understandable and useful philosophy that recognizes we can achieve whatever we want if we just understand and apply these principles of self-motivation.

Chapter 1 - Read, Read, Read Inspiration can help you find self-motivation and one of the best ways to get inspired is to READ. For self-motivation, it is often good to read stories about the success of others, anyone who has overcome adversity to reach selected goals.

Chapter 2 - Rethink The Way You Think There are times when we think with our emotions rather than our intellect and when we are guided by our feelings instead of our thoughts, which may lead us into trouble. Never lose sight of your goals and think like a strategic warrior - who keeps his or her ultimate goals in mind.

Chapter 3 - Find Your Passion and Purpose Passion helps us achieve our goals. If you are passionate about overcoming your challenges and you believe in what you are doing and the impact it will have on your future, you will be much happier and find greater fulfillment in life.

Chapter 4 - Be Persistent and Persevere Perseverance can often make the difference between success and failure. We have all showed persistence and perseverance many times throughout our lifetime, whether it’s was learning to walk, ride a bike, drive a car, etc. But when it comes to our goals, we are

22

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

not as good as we should be about just hanging in there.

Chapter 5 - Discover the Power of Patience It is not always easy to be patient. There are things we want to achieve and sometimes we just can’t wait. Patience will help you make better decisions and can also reduce stress and frustration in your life. If you understand that reaching your goal is a process - an evolution rather than a revolution - you are less likely to become distracted and give up.

Chapter 6 - Making Friends With Your Fears Fear is one of the greatest obstacles to self-motivation. For many of us the fear of the unknown tops the list of things that get in the way. For others, our biggest fear is change which draws us out of the safe cocoon we wrap ourselves in, but change is how we grow.

As you push forward remember the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt “The only thing to fear is fear itself ” Chapter 7 - Be Bold and Courageous Achieving your goals take drive, dedication, determination, decisiveness and direction. There are times when mustering up your courage and taking a step into uncertainty is the only way to achieve your goal. By unlocking that vault of inner strength, you open up the treasure chest of your future where all things are possible.

Chapter 8 - Hitting the Curveball We all face situations or circumstances in our lives that are unexpected. These situations are often feared, misunderstood and avoided because, like a child afraid of the dark, we constantly seek a nightlight to illuminate what we don’t know. You must understand that life is not so much about how you fall, but more about how you get back up.

Chapter 9 - Take the Strategic Approach All of us face battles in our daily lives. That is the reality for all creatures in their struggle to survive. The greatest battle of all is with yourself (your fears, your doubts, etc.) Most of us think tactically. We see the task at hand and we either do it or we don’t.

By thinking strategically, you can learn to take steps that will best help you reach your goal.

Chapter 10 - Carpe Diem-Seize the Day Action is the fire which ignites our dreams, our plans and our goals into a living force. Ghandi may have given the best advice when he said “The future depends on what you do today” By seizing the day, you will find it easier to keep moving forward to accomplishing your goals and dreams.

Gary Greenberg, founder of Self-Motivation Inc., is an author and self-motivational speaker. Gary is a leading authority in the field of Self-Motivation having made multiple appearances on television and radio. He firmly believes that this book and the principles it offers can help one achieve their goals. He is in the business of helping people help themselves.

Eating Well Protects Hearing A healthy diet can lower the risk of moderate to severe hearing loss by 30 percent or more, conclude researchers from Harvard Medical School’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Studying the diets of 33,000 women for 22 years, they found that hearing was better retained among those that ate closer to the Mediterranean Diet—with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish and virgin olive oil. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, high in fruits and vegetables and lowfat dairy, as well as low in sodium, also was associated with better hearing.

Pumpkin Compounds Inhibit Cancer Growth In addition to being tasty, autumn’s pumpkin pie may also help prevent cancer. Two studies have confirmed the ability of certain nutrients in pumpkins to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Researchers from the Italian Institute of Food Science found that carotenoid compounds from pumpkins delayed the growth of human colorectal cancer and bone cancer cells by an average of 40 percent. In China, Harbin Medical University researchers found that a polysaccharide compound from pumpkins halted the growth of human liver cancer cells.

Raw fruit and vegetables are better for mental health than canned, cooked or otherwise processed produce, report researchers from New Zealand’s University of Otago. Their survey of more than 400 young adults from their country and the U.S., published in Frontiers in Psychology, found a correlation between eating raw produce and measures of psychological well-being, positive mood and life satisfaction.

“The cooking and processing of produce likely limits the delivery of nutrients that are essential for optimal emotional functioning,” says co-author Tamlin Conner, Ph.D. The top 10 raw foods for mental health are carrots, bananas, apples, dark leafy greens, grapefruit, lettuce, other citrus, berries, cucumbers and kiwis.

Early-stage breast cancer can be accurately detected via a simple breath test and urine sample, report researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel. Using electronic nose sensors and gas-chromatography mass spectrometry to analyze breath and urine, respectively, they were able to identify biomarkers for breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer for women worldwide. “Our new approach… with inexpensive, commercially available processes, is non-invasive, accessible and may be easily implemented in a variety of settings,” says study co-author Yehuda Zeiri, Ph.D.

Mammography, the common screening test for breast cancer, is typically 75 to 85 percent accurate, a figure that drops for full-bodied women and those with dense breast tissue. Dual-energy digital mammography is more accurate, but increases radiation exposure, and MRIs are more expensive.

The Israeli research, published in the journal Computers in Biology and Medicine, compared breath and urine samples taken from 85 women with breast cancer and 81 healthy women. The electronic e-nose device, picking up on a unique breath pattern, detected cancer cells accurately 95 percent of the time. The urine test proved 85 percent accurate. “With further study, it may also be possible to analyze exhaled breath and urine samples to identify other cancer types, as well,” says Zeiri.

Fetal exposure to air pollution, even at levels considered safe by current standards, has been linked by Dutch researchers to thinning of the outer layer of a child’s brain and later cognitive difficulties.

Following 783 children ages 6 through 10, the researchers concluded those brain abnormalities contributed in part to impulsiveness that could lead to addictive behavior and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Air Pollution Harms Developing Brains

Tip-of-the-tongue word loss, an aggravation for many seniors and other adults, occurs less frequently in those with higher levels of aerobic fitness, regardless of age or vocabulary, reports a study of 56 men and women from the UK’s University of Birmingham. Lead researcher Katrien Segaert also clarified that tip-of-the-tongue word loss is not associated with memory loss—a common concern by those that often experience it.

Gut Bacteria Linked to Artery Health A lack of diversity of gut bacteria is linked to hardening of the arteries, a new study concludes. By analyzing the gut microbiome and measuring the arterial stiffness of 617 middle-aged female twins, researchers from the University of Nottingham and King’s College London found that those with a greater diversity of healthy bacteria had more flexible arteries.

The finding explains why women, young adults and others may suffer heart attacks without traditional risk factors such as smoking or obesity. It opens the door to reducing cardiovascular disease by targeting the microbiome through diet, probiotics and other supplements.

Hostile Teachers Hamper Learning Teachers that antagonize their students by belittling them, showing favoritism or criticizing their contributions can damage their learning potential, warns a new West Virginia University study of 472 undergraduates. Split into two groups, the students watched either a class taught by a teacher with antagonism or a standard lesson taught without antagonism, and then took a multiple-choice quiz.

Test scores were up to 5 percent lower for those that watched the antagonistic teacher because they disliked what they were being taught. They were also less likely to put forth as much effort and were unwilling to attend that teacher’s future courses.

Eating Walnuts Boosts Gut Bacteria Eating a handful of walnuts daily boosts certain types of healthy gut bacteria that appear to contribute to cardio, metabolic and gastrointestinal health, according to a study of 18 adults by University of Illinois scientists published in the Journal of Nutrition. The researchers found that eating walnuts increased species of healthy gut bacteria, while decreasing species of unhealthy bacteria. Eating walnuts also improved cholesterol levels.

End Game

Extinctions of Threatened Species Continue

The death of the world’s last male northern white rhino has rendered the species functionally extinct, which means the only hope of reviving the population is through in vitro fertilization. World Wildlife Fund head of campaigns Colin Butfield calls this a “uniquely bad situation.” Two other animals, the vaquita, a very rare porpoise discovered in 1958, and the Javan rhino are facing the same fate. Many other species, including the Sumatran rhino, black rhino, Amur leopard, forest elephant and Bornean orangutan are considered critically endangered, some with fewer than 100 individuals left. The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently considers 5,583 species of plant, mammal, bird, amphibian and marine life critically endangered.

Dumping Disincentive

Big Bank Acts to Protect Oceans from Mine Waste

Citigroup is no longer financing mining projects that dump mine waste into the ocean. The move comes in response to pressure from the Ditch Ocean Dumping campaign, which calls on financial institutions to divest from any project or company that employs the practice. “Banks and financial institutions must actively take steps to ensure that they are not bankrolling the destruction of our oceans,” says campaign coordinator Ellen Moore of Earthworks.

Mine waste can contain up to three dozen dangerous chemicals, including arsenic, lead, mercury and cyanide. These metals accumulate in fish, and ultimately, the wildlife and people that eat them.

The pollution contaminates drinking water, decimates ecosystems and destroys fisheries. While the outdated practice has been phased out in many parts of the world, new mining proposals in Papua New Guinea and Norway signal that such dumping is being ramped up, not phased out.

Organic shoppers may see additional labeling on produce.

More than a dozen farmers and scientists from around the country met to create the standards for an additional organic certification pilot program called the Real Organic Project (ROP), which they plan to initially introduce at 20 to 60 farms.

Under the current U.S. Department of Agriculture program, the organic label means that produce has been grown without synthetic substances or genetic engineering; it doesn’t specify whether produce was grown in water or soil, which the new labeling would address.

Countries Ban Single-Use Plastics

Bans on plastic consumption have been increasing globally for the last two years. Single-use plastics will be officially banned in the Bahamas by 2020, including plastic bags collected at the point of sale, straws, Styrofoam food containers and plastic utensils. Also, the release of balloons in the air will be illegal. Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua and Barbuda have already banned single-use plastic products. In Kenya it’s illegal to produce, sell or use plastic bags. Haiti has banned plastic bags and Styrofoam products. Belize moved to ban single-use plastics by April 2019. The UK has outlined a plan to eradicate plastic use completely by 2042.

The Clean Seas Campaign, launched in 2017 by the United Nations Environment Programme, aims to increase global public and corporate awareness of the critical need to reduce marine litter.

Tiny Houses Can Benefit Seniors

The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is building a small, modular home on its Evansville campus to demonstrate how the tiny housing model could make independent living accessible for people of all ages and abilities. It’s part of a larger effort aimed at creating a cultural transformation related to aging in a community. The home’s small size is a selling point for people unable to maintain a larger dwelling as they age and help them remain independent. Dr. Bill Thomas, a geriatrician and national expert on aging partnering in the project, envisions a pod-like village of such “Minkas” with older people living within a community instead of being sequestered in nursing homes.

Plastic Pushback

Even before recent disruption of U.S. trade with China through increased tariffs, China had made importing genetically modified (GMO) soybeans more difficult after a regulatory crackdown last December.

The agricultural GMO regulation scheme strengthened the soybean approval process, leading to delays at Chinese ports. Certificates for certain GMO import crops granted by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture have included cotton, soybeans, corn and rapeseed. The U.S. is looking for alternative GMO markets in case tariffs, restrictions and export slowdowns continue.

Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, is experimenting with restricting diesel-powered vehicle access to portions of two major streets, with exemptions for new, cleaner models. Environmentalists and ecologically minded politicians celebrate the move as a breakthrough on the path to cleaner urban air. A German court ruled last February that cities have the right to prohibit dirty diesel vehicles, and local authorities in other cities are making plans to bring their roads into compliance with strict European Union emissions requirements. “Symbolically, it’s a big step,” says Manfred Braasch, a local leader of Friends of the Earth Germany. “This has been a diesel nation.”

The federal German government is considering a comprehensive strategy designed to clean up heavy polluters among the nation’s 15 million diesel cars via hardware retrofits like those mandated in the U.S.

Monsanto to Pay $289 Million to Cancer Victim

A California jury has found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, 46, a pest control manager for the Benicia Unified School District, in California, near San Francisco. His was the first claim to go to trial alleging that Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers cause cancer. The company was ordered to pay $289 million in damages—$39 million compensatory and $250 punitive. Monsanto, recently acquired as a unit of the German conglomerate Bayer, faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the U.S.

Natural Ways to Stay Healthy

by Kathleen Barnes

L

ike many other health conditions, challenges to our immune systems are on the rise. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 26.5 million adults and kids have asthma, 50 million have allergies and up to 20 percent get the flu each year. Catching a cold is common, with U.S. adults generally coping with two or three a year and children about twice as many.

As many as 50 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, celiac and lupus, costing $100 billion a year to treat, which is nearly twice the amount spent on cancer care, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association. Initial statistics released 20 years ago estimated that 9 million Americans had autoimmune diseases; a five-fold increase since then

illustrates the magnitude of the problem.

People that are free of some degree of immune system dysfunction are relatively uncommon.

Identified Culprits

“We are absolutely seeing a rise in immune disorders,” says Michael T. Murray, a doctor of naturopathy in Lyons, Colorado, and author of Chronic Candidiasis: Your Natural Guide to Healing with Diet, Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, Exercise and Other Natural Methods. “Many factors are responsible for the increase.” He cites the most notable as the widespread use of antibiotics and pesticides; dietary factors, including too much sugar; decreased intake of essential vitamins and minerals; overconsumption of calories in general; lifestyle factors like not getting enough sleep or exercise; excessive

Supercharge Your Immune System

alcohol; stress; and exposure to cigarette smoke.

“The microbiome—the bacterial structure that supports a strong immune system—is largely inherited from the mother during a vaginal birth,” says Sayer Ji, of Miami, Florida, founder of GreenMedInfo.com, sponsor of the 2017 Immune Defense Summit and a member of the National Health Federation’s board of governors. “The rising number of Caesarean sections, at nearly one-third of all U.S. births, up from 18 percent in 1997, deprives infants of those naturally occurring bacteria, and can result in immune deficiencies at an early age.”

Low-level chronic stress of the kind that occurs in everyday modern life is a leading underlying factor in immune system compromise, says natural health and healing expert Dr. Deepak Chopra, of Carlsbad, California, author of The Healing Self: A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life. Along with emotional stress, he points to any kind of inner or outer challenge that pulls us off center.

Everyone experiences some stress every day; when unrelieved, it’s been widely shown to have a huge negative impact on our health. “Imbalance can be negative or positive, and so can stress,” says Chopra.

“Winning the lottery is just as stressful as

going through a divorce. So the challenge isn’t to achieve static balance, but to successfully thrive in stressful surroundings.”

weeks. People with arthritis should also eliminate nightshades like tomatoes and potatoes. “Then add back in the eliminated foods one at a time and carefully note the body’s reaction. It’s not that hard to get a clear picture of what aggravates inflammation such as arthritis pain,” Blum says.

Internal Communiqués

Medical science now generally agrees that the greatest part of the immune system resides in the gut. “We need those trillions of bacteria that live in the digestive tract.

Without them, we are unable to defend ourselves from all types of assaults, including the autoimmune diseases, in which the body turns upon itself,” says Ji.

“The immune system lines the large and small intestines,” says Dr. Susan Blum, of Rye Brook, New York, author of The Immune System Recovery Plan: A Doctor’s 4-Step Program to Treat Autoimmune Disease. “The microbes in the gut lining speak to the immune system. Anything that alters the microbes in negative ways—like antibiotics or viral illness, among others—can also negatively alter the immune system.”

Unavoidable Toxin

We can’t avoid the toxic exposure that underlies much of the immune dysfunction we are experiencing today, says Wendy Myers, a functional diagnostic nutritionist in Los Angeles, California, and author of Limitless Energy: How to Detox Toxic Metals to End Exhaustion and Chronic Fatigue.

“Toxins, especially heavy metals like lead and mercury, are in the air, water and soil.

Since we can’t escape them, we need to know how they are affecting us and work to neutralize them.”

Experts agree that immune challenges can be neutralized and overcome with the right diet and lifestyle, stress management and appropriate supplements to restore and maintain the whole system balance needed to flourish in a world of our own making that stresses us on every level.

The Right Food

Eliminating wheat and dairy can end half of current immune system dysfunction through helping to repair the microbiome and healing the immune system, Ji believes. As one example, “If my mom had known I was allergic to cow’s milk when I

The Right Supplements Multivitamins: “High-quality vitamin

and mineral supplements are foundational to immune health,” Murray says. “Vitamins C, E and B and selenium are especially important.”

Digestive enzymes: “Digestive was a child, I wouldn’t have suffered for 20 years with bronchial asthma,” he says.

An anti-inflammatory diet also speeds gut healing and strengthens the immune system, says Blum. Highlights of her program for a basic clean-up include eliminating anything white (sugar and all products made with flour); eating quality fats (cold-pressed vegetable oils, nuts and seeds); protein (grass-fed beef, organic and free-range poultry, wild game and wildcaught fish); organic fruits and vegetables as much as possible and fermented foods daily; limiting and preferably eliminating dairy; and reading labels and banishing additives, chemicals and processed foods.

According to CDC statistics, almost everyone has some level of immune dysfunction, so this clean-up diet will benefit most of us, Blum says. After a basic regimen of three weeks or longer, she recommends exploring an elimination and challenge diet in which gluten, dairy, corn, soy and eggs are all eliminated for three

enzymes are key to restoring gut health, and thereby healing the immune system.

They’re useful in reducing immunemediated inflammation in autoimmune disorders,” Murray explains.

Australian research from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research confirms that supporting the immune system helps heal inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Instead, these are commonly treated with immune system suppressants that leave the patient with diminished resistance to other diseases.

Raw foods, especially pineapple and papaya, are good sources of digestive enzymes. They’re also available as supplements.

Prebiotics and probiotics: Prebiotics,

plant fibers that ferment in the colon helping to increase desirable bacteria in the gut, and probiotics, live beneficial bacteria, help restore balance in the microbiome, effectively feeding and strengthening the immune system. Myers suggests that declining levels of friendly bacteria in the gut may actually mark the onset of chronic degenerative disease.

Vitamin D: Several studies, including

one from Israel, have shown that people with the highest vitamin D levels have the lowest number of upper respiratory infections. “To ensure optimal vitamin D status, many health advocates, myself included, are recently advocating daily dosages of 2,000 to 5,000 international units (IU), even in apparently healthy adults,” Murray says.

rides; soluble fiber naturally occurring in the cell walls of grains, bacteria, yeast, algae and fungi. Natural sources include oats, barley, seaweed, and shitake and reishi mushrooms.

In supplements, look for products extracted by fermentation if grain or yeast is a concern.

These sugars are known to help prevent and shorten durations of colds and flu and provide relief for allergies and sinus congestion, and may help regulate an overactive immune response in cases of autoimmune disorders.

Both internal and external factors can affect us all the way to the cellular level.

Chopra says, “You are talking to your genes all the time, and what you say affects every cell in your body. Through lifestyle choices, you can make healing decisions rather than damaging ones.”

Flu Shot or Not

he effectiveness and safety of flu shots has long been questioned. At best, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reckons that the flu vaccine is 60 percent effective and less so for those older than 65. Plus, it admits it will have zero effect if scientists wrongly project which strains will be prevalent in the coming year. Having a strong immune system is the best bet to prevent flu, says Sayer Ji, founder of GreenMedInfo.com.

Further protection can be found in vitamin D, says Naturopathic Doctor Michael T. Murray. He notes, “It may prove to be more effective and less costly than conventional flu shots.”

Nelson lives in Western Massachusetts with her family, grateful to be surrounded by the wonders of the natural world and connected to a vibrant, loving and grateful global community.

Why is it helpful to differentiate between gratefulness, gratitude and thanksgiving?

Gratefulness is a proactive orientation to life that originates inside. You wake with a sense of thankful awareness for the gift of another day, of all the miraculous things your body did overnight to keep you alive and healthy and an all-encompassing sense of the great fullness of life.

napalmbeach.com

Gratitude is more of a response to something going well; anything from receiving the perfect present to five green lights on the way home to beautiful weather. It can become an addictive pursuit to try to get life to deliver something positive again and again, whereas gratefulness emanates from a more unconditional core.

Thanksgiving bubbles up when we’re so filled with a sense of gratefulness—that great fullness—that we overflow into finding ways to express thanks aloud and in actions, such as delivering praise or being of service.

In what way is happiness related to gratefulness?

The truth is that it’s not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. We can have all the things that should make us happy, and that we wish would make us happy, but unless we feel grateful for what we have, it’s likely nothing will truly make us happy. Happiness can be susceptible to outside circumstance, whereas gratefulness is an orientation we can more consistently maintain.

How do we cultivate gratefulness as a way of being, rather than an intermittent feeling?

It’s a three-step process: stop, look and go.

First, we pause to be present; slow down enough to notice all the things for which we can be grateful.

Second, we enlarge our perspective to take nothing for granted and acknowledge that life is short and uncertain, so we are grateful each day we wake up. This step is also about being aware of our privileges,

starting with our ability to see, hear, move about and function. It keeps us aware, awake and alert.

Consider how we feel when electricity returns after an outage or when we can use our hand or foot after a cast comes off.

Within minutes, we can forget how appreciative we were for those things, so we need to build reminders into our lives.

Third, we generate possibilities. Find ways to express appreciation or nurture something we care about by engaging in an actively grateful way. Even when we suffer hardship, shifting our awareness to notice whatever is sufficient, abundant and beautiful enables us to be grateful. This creates a ripple effect, bringing more reasons to be grateful. It’s a radical way to live.

Which other qualities of life that people now seek give you hope?

It gives me hope when people seek contentment. Paradoxically, discontent gives me hope too, because when people recognize injustice and social biases, it pushes us to engage; to stand up and take note of what’s not okay and needs to be changed.

Love also gives me hope, especially when individuals seek to love more generously, inclusively and compassionately. It brings me the most hope of all when I see people building bridges and stretching their own capacity to love beyond their comfort zone.

mericans trust bottled more than tap water, but that confidence might work better if reversed. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) notes that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors tap water for more than 90 contaminants, and it must meet the strict standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. Nationally distributed bottled water, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, isn’t as carefully or frequently checked.

A quarter of all bottled water is actually filtered tap water, reports the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Concern about safe tap water is relatively recent—in the 1960s, for instance, people worried more about fluoridation than contamination. But since 1990, partly driven by bottled water ads, Gallup polls have shown tap water concerns rising; 63 percent of us now worry about our drinking water “a great deal”.

Bottled water is usually safe to drink, but isn’t environmentally friendly. Plastic bottle production in the U.S. requires 17.6 million barrels of oil annually, reports the nonprofit Riverkeeper; plus the energy used to transport it to market, refrigerate it and collect the empties equals filling the

napalmbeach.com

bottles a quarter full of oil. Then, 77 percent of discards end up in the landfill. the Earth Day Network reports.

Retail costs range from 89 cents a serving to $8 a gallon for designer water, averaging $1.11 a gallon, compared to .002 cents per gallon for tap water.

What’s in Tap Water Legitimate concerns about tap water exist, mostly because homes built before 1986 likely have lead in their pipes, solder and fixtures, possibly contaminating municipally sourced water. Well water is also susceptible to outside contamination from chemicals and microorganisms that must be monitored.

Because lead accumulates in stagnated water in pipes, run the water until it gets as cold as possible; up to two minutes if the taps haven’t been turned on in six hours or more. Other chemicals found in tap water include low levels of chlorine, arsenic, nitrates, atrazine, perchlorate and pathogens, reports the NRDC. Pharmaceutical products can also get into tap water, warns the World Health Organization (WHO).

A recent study from the EWG and Northeastern University, in Boston, showed small quantities of toxic chemicals in tap water serving 15 million Americans in 27 states.

Filter Options Filters can allay tap water worries from municipal or well supplies.

Several types—tap-mounted, under-sink and pitchers—are effective and affordable, ranging from $20 to $300. Seek filters certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) testing agency that check for specific contaminants of concern.

NSF-42 coding certifies filters that improve water taste and remove both chlorine and particulate matter. NSF-53 is more stringent and requires removal of metals and harmful chemicals.

The highest standard, NSF-401, covers filters that eliminate bacteria, pesticides/herbicides and residue from drugs like ibuprofen.

Activated carbon filters, which require regular replacement cartridges, remove large particles like sediment and silt. Reverse osmosis filters remove dissolved inorganic solids (including salts) by pushing tap water through a semi-permeable membrane.

Ultraviolet water purification is effective at treating bacteria and viruses, but not contaminants such as chlorine, volatile organic compounds or heavy metals.

Charcoal pitcher filters are the most common, easiest to use and least expensive, although cartridges add to the cost and are only effective for processing about 40 gallons each. To save money, DIY products allow individuals to refill used cartridges with new activated charcoal. Filter pitchers need to be cleaned regularly because the charcoal can leak, producing mildew, calcium and grime.

Faucet-mounted models are easy to install and can be switched easily from filtered to unfiltered water (e.g., for washing up). Under-sink filters and cartridges are effective for up to 200 gallons, but more challenging to install. Connecting to refrigerators and ice makers makes installation more complex, and leakage can be an issue; countertop filters take up space, but are less likely to clog.

Consumer Reports says reverse osmosis filters are effective at removing contaminants, but can operate slowly, consume cabinet space, need periodic cleaning with bleach and create three to five gallons of wastewater for every gallon filtered.

WHO indicates that conventional municipal water treatment processes can remove about half of the compounds associated with pharmaceutical drugs. Advanced treatment like reverse osmosis and nanofiltration can be more efficient, removing up to 99 percent of large pharmaceutical molecules.

The first step is a water test. Some state and local health departments offer free test kits and they are also sold at hardware stores. Certified laboratories test tap water samples, with information often available from the local water provider.

Find a state-by-state list of certified labs plus program contacts at Tinyurl.com/DrinkingWaterCertificationInfo. The EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline is 800-426-4791.

Testing Our Hydration IQ

by Ronica O’Hara

M

yths abound regarding proper hydration—many of them encouraged by purveyors of bottled water. Gauge personal hydration know-how by answering these true-or-false questions.

1

If we’re thirsty, we’re already dehydrated.

True. Our kidneys let us know when we need water by sending a “thirsty” message to the brain. “If you ignore that warning, it will go away and other symptoms will occur, such as headache, brain fog, muscle cramps and dry, cool skin, making the dehydration more serious,” warns Chiropractor Livia Valle, of Valins Chiropractic, in Smithtown, New York.

2

We must drink eight glasses of water every day.

False. Eating fruits and vegetables also bolsters hydration (watermelon and spinach are almost 100 percent water by weight), as do milk, juice and herbal tea, advises the Mayo Clinic.

3

It’s impossible to overhydrate.

False. Although rare, hyponatremia can result from some diseases, medications and consuming too much water too quickly, causing sodium (salt) levels to plummet; this can lead to nausea and coma, to which marathon runners can be prone (WebMD.com).

4

Electrolyte-enhanced drinks beat out water.

False. Experts say that for most people most of the time, plain water hydrates just as well, which is good news, considering the sugar and artificial dyes in Gatorade and similar electrolyte drinks. Even for athletes, hydrating with electrolytes is called for only after more than an hour of intense, sweaty exercise, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. If concerned about hydrating on an active, steamy day, consider stirring additive- and sugar-free electrolyte tablets or powder into water.

5

Caffeine causes dehydration.

False. A UK University of Birmingham study of 50 people that drank three to six cups of coffee daily found no significant effects on hydration—perhaps because the water in coffee and tea makes up for any dehydrating effects.

6

The volume of urine is a better hydration indicator than its color.

True. “Urine color varies based on many factors, including diet,” says exercise physiologist Mary Jayne Rogers, Ph.D., of Albuquerque, New Mexico. “But if you are not producing much urine, it can be a sign that your body is clinging to water and may need more.”

Ease Repetitive Strain Injuries Targeted Exercises Lower Risk of Injury

W

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around. ~Willie Nelson 40

Palm Beach Edition

by Marlaina Donato

eekend athletes, office workers and hobbyists greatly benefit from a balanced array of regular exercises as a preventive measure against injury. In our technological age, repetitive strain injury (RSI) is all too common, and anyone using a computer daily can be at risk. Sedentary lifestyles help set the stage for injury.

RSI is classified as a cumulative trauma disorder that can affect muscles, tendons and nerves of not only the forearm and hand, but also the neck and shoulders. Symptoms may include pain, weakness, numbness or compromised motor control. Carpal tunnel syndrome is just one example.

“Repetitive injuries occur by executing the same motions over and over again with little or no variation, and become syndromes when they occur frequently or chronically,” says Brian Lebo, a strength and conditioning coach

napalmbeach.com

and director of the Athletic Performance Training Center, in North Royalton, Ohio.

RSI Risk Factors

Poor posture, faulty movement technique and lack of periodic breaks from activities can play a major role in developing any form of RSI. “I find that people that maintain a balanced exercise routine tend to do the best in jobs that apply repetitive stresses. People that sit at a desk need core strengthening, flexibility work in the hips, wrists and hands, and work on the neck flexors of the cervical spine,” says Felipe J. Mares, a physical therapist and owner of PT First Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “People that exercise on a daily basis, regardless of their job, hold up better at work. There’s a lot of stored equity in muscle tissue and strength that comes in handy.”

Lebo elaborates, “Exercise is critical for improving quality of life for people that suffer

iMoved Studio/Shutterstock.com

Helpful Resources RSI Exercises from Alston Advanced Bodywork, Tinyurl.com/RSIExerciseVideo Functional training movement patterns from Gray Cook, Tinyurl.com/BodyMovementKnow-How

from repetitive injuries or RSI because it provides variation from repetitive movement, strengthens muscle and connective tissue, stabilizes joints and improves the body’s response to physical stress. For people with desk jobs, I recommend taking 10 minutes to get up every hour on the hour and move around. Focus on mobility.”

Weekend Warriors

The impulse to get outside, engage in a sport or push through limitations on weekends can lead to injury if exercising is not also part of the work week. “Do something on weekdays to support your weekend activity to prepare and strengthen your body specifically for it,” says Lebo. “For recreational athletes, I recommend performing some type of strength training to support the demands and movement patterns of your activity. For tendinitis or inflammation of the tendons—the most common type of repetitive injury—exercise can reverse or minimize injury following appropriate rest, together with physical therapy when indicated.”

Basic strength training, maintaining a healthy weight and staying hydrated all help prevent injury and decrease the risk of reoccurrence.“Repetitive injuries that I see often are iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome, lower back pain and rotator cuff injuries. The main cause of these is overuse, faulty alignment and muscle compensation,” says Brooke Taylor, a functional training expert and owner of Taylored Fitness NY Ltd., in New York City.

“Functional training engages the body in multiplanar movements that simulate everyday motions. This forces the body to work as one unit, as opposed to isolating various body parts. The beauty is that with a well-designed program, you leave no muscle untouched.

Functional training is beneficial for everyone, and one hour of training a day can make a huge difference. Get out and explore different activities and work opposing muscles. Make all parts of the body work as one,” counsels Taylor.

Whether injuries occur at the desk, on the soccer field or not at all, keeping the body fit is key. Mares reminds us that exercise is like sleep—something we all need and cannot avoid, saying, “Exercise is the great equalizer in life.”

THANKSGIVING DESSERTS Plant-Based Pies for Every Palate

G Experienced, Licensed and Insured

Trees Big or Small - We Do Them All!

ratitude for the bounty in our lives has been a constant in every American Thanksgiving since the Pilgrims’ first celebration at Plymouth Plantation. What has changed is the menu.

Many holiday hosts today wish to be inclusive and respect everyone’s increasingly restrictive dietary needs. A few dishes that offer naturally gluten-free, paleo and plant-based options never go amiss, especially when we’re talking pie.

It’s easy to make a plant-based pie—think pumpkin, sweet potato and chocolate. As a bonus, many vegan pies can be made ahead and actually taste better the next day.

The Crust

A mellow nut crust might be the best way to go; pecans or almonds, sweetened with dates, crumbled in the food processor and pressed into a pie pan. It’s deliciously easy and can be made the day before, always a plus at holiday time. Gluten-free vanilla, chocolate or gingersnap cookie crumbs, mixed with a little coconut oil pressed into the pan, can serve as an alternative to nuts.

The Filling

The freshest filling makes the freshest-tasting pie. Winter vegetables such as squash, small sugar or pie pumpkins or sweet potatoes can be baked in the oven and puréed in the food processor days ahead of time. Or, make the purées weeks ahead and freeze them, ready to 42

thaw for a recipe.

Award-winning cookbook author Deborah Madison, author of Seasonal Fruit Desserts: From Orchard, Farm, and Market, in Galisteo, New Mexico, preheats her oven to 375° F. “Cut the squash in half, the pumpkins into quarters, scrape out the seeds and brush the cut surfaces with a vegetable oil such as sunflower or safflower,” she suggests.

“Place the squash or pumpkins cutside-down on a sheet pan. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Bake the vegetables until tender, about 40 minutes,” says Madison. When baked, scoop out the flesh, discard the rinds or skin and purée the flesh in a food processor. About two cups of purée equals a 15-ounce can of pumpkin, sweet potato or butternut squash. Pies made with fresh purées will have a lighter color and flavor.

Madison says she prefers natural sweeteners. “Honey and maple syrup are so dynamic—they’re more like foods in their own right than just sweeteners.”

Maple and date sugars give pies a deep, caramelized flavor.

Always taste test during preparation, recommends Alissa Saenz, of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, who blogs at ConnoisseurusVeg.com. She loves a big dose of chai spices and little dose of sweetener in her Vegan Chai-Spiced Sweet Potato Pie. But pie is personal. “I recommend tasting your batter to decide if you’d prefer a little more or less of each,” she says.

An ethereal cloud of coconut whipped cream can taste just as delicious as the dairy version, says vegan baker and cookbook author Fran Costigan, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She refrigerates a 14-ounce can of unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk for at least 24 hours. After opening it, she spoons out only the solid coconut cream into a chilled bowl, saving the remaining liquid coconut milk for another use. She whips the coconut cream with an electric mixer until fluffy, adding a natural sweetener and vanilla extract if desired. It all makes for a perfectly healthy plant pie.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Add all ingredients, except for the starch and dates, into a large pot. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Lower the oven temperature to 375° F.

This pie filling is robust with spices and not too sweet. Add less spice and more maple syrup to taste.

Yields: Filling for one nine-inch vegan pecan-date pie crust

Process the filling until smooth, stopping to scrape the bowl as needed. Pour the batter into a prepared pie crust and smooth out the top with a rubber scraper.

2 large sweet potatoes ¾ cup coconut milk 3 Tbsp maple syrup 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp arrowroot or tapioca starch 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon 1 Tbsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cardamom ½ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp ground cloves ½ tsp sea salt

Bake about 40 minutes or until it sets.

Remove the pie from oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Top with whipped coconut cream, if desired.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Poke a few holes in each sweet potato using a sharp knife.

Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake until very soft, about 45 minutes. Or microwave them for about eight minutes, checking every minute or so after the first five minutes.

Remove from oven and slice the sweet potatoes open to allow the steam to escape.

Let them sit a few minutes to cool.

When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides and place them into a food processor bowl. Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and salt.

While the pumpkin mixture is heating, prepare a “slurry” by adding two to three tablespoons of water to the starch in a small bowl. Gently mix together until a thick liquid has formed; avoid clumps.

Add the slurry to the simmering pumpkin mixture and cook over medium heat for five to six minutes, stirring continuously.

Transfer this mixture to a blender or food processor, add in the pitted (unsoaked) Medjool dates and blend until smooth.

Pour the filling into a prepared crust, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Be accountable for individual consciousness: How we perceive ourself and our world defines our experience. Changing our point of view can change everything.

Be focused: Establish and maintain a disciplined mind, focusing on what’s right with life rather than what’s wrong.

Be in the flow: The law of circulation manifests as either a cornucopia of more than enough or a vortex of not enough, depending on how freely energy flows through us. Remember that we are the gatekeeper that directs the flow.

Be passionate: Honoring our passions sets us free from the tyranny of a joyless life. Unearthing and living what creates joy, love and peace brings the gift of our authentic self to the party called life.

Be blessed: To be blessed and know it is to affirm that we are a whole person, with nothing missing. Sharing our abundance becomes our daily norm. This state of being blesses our world.

Be of service: When we serve others selflessly, we are recognizing that they matter. When someone knows they matter, they are intrinsically guided to demonstrate it in ways that serve others… and the circle is complete.

Be courageous: Boldly move beyond false limits to horizons that call us to new levels of self-expression and fulfillment, often in collaboration with a spirited community.

Be a catalyst for good: Such actions connect us directly to the secret of creating an abundant life—our innate oneness with the universe.

Innovative Uses of Pulp, Paper and Mushrooms

by Avery Mack

Manufacturers need to protect their products from damage and theft, and also want them to stand out on retail shelves.

A common result has been hard-to-open containers relying on excessive cardboard and plastic. Today, more manufacturers are responding to consumer requests for less packaging, making it easier on both people and the planet.

W

hether shopping online or in a local store, more eco-friendly options are available and they’re worth seeking out.

In grocery stores, look for cellophane packaging made from corn, wheat or potatoes that replaces traditional plastic packaging used for candy, spices, nuts, produce and bath products. Cellulose, made from sustainably harvested wood pulp, one of nature’s most abundant materials, makes for a sturdy bio- and marine-degradable bag that is suitable for home composting. Resistant to oil, fat and grease, it is also microwavable and oven-safe at low temperatures.

Fenugreen uses antibacterial, antifungal spices infused into a tea that is soaked into clean, biodegradable FreshPaper. It works in conjunction with store packaging or storage containers to keep bread, fruit, vegetables and cheese fresh. Kavita Shukla, founder and CEO, says, “Each paper lasts about a month. A distinct, maple-like scent says the paper is actively working to keep food fresh two to four times longer than

usual, preventing food waste due to spoilage.”

Quinn Snacks’ revolutionary Pure Pop Bag of microwave popcorn contains no genetically modified corn, synthetic chemicals or plastic coatings, so unlike other brands, its packaging is compostable and biodegradable.

Consumers add the included salt and spices after the popping, allowing the addition of natural ingredients while maintaining the integrity of the food’s natural oil and flavor.

Food carry-out used to mean polystyrene (Styrofoam) containers, but now consumers have the safer option of pulp products that break down completely in backyard compost heaps or through commercial recycling. The pulp comes from North American-sourced hardwoods, which reduces its travel footprint and supports environmentally aware suppliers.

Mycelium, another Styrofoam substitute, uses mushroom roots as glue to hold together other sustainable, compostable agriculture byproducts like corn stalks. The result creates shipping materials

that cradle wine bottles, computers and other fragile items to prevent breakage.

In beauty products, look for refillable glass jars. While glass is endlessly recyclable, it carries a large carbon footprint. Glass is heavy and must be transported, sometimes out of state, to reach a treatment plant. Furnaces capable of melting glass containers must run nonstop at about 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit.

Taking the time to refill glass jars saves energy and prevents greenhouse gas emissions.

Some personal products such as deodorant are available in paper push-up tubes. Standard plastic tubes can be difficult to empty completely and are sometimes made of more than one type of plastic, which makes them non-recyclable.

Eco-friendly packaging can be especially challenging for small businesses. Katherine Dexter, owner of Wild House Body Care, in College Station, Texas, says, “I needed a green product that was oil-proof and waterproof.

One of the best I’ve found for wrapping solid lotion bars is an unbleached, soy waxed paper.

It works as effectively as paraffin-coated waxed paper and is 100 percent biodegradable.” She uses sustainable and natural materials for all of her product packaging.

As part of the adult coloring book craze, Najeeb Kahn, founder of the Monthly Coloring Club, noticed books were shipped shrink-wrapped, so the club has switched to compostable and recycled rigid cardboard mailers.

Online mattress sales have increased from a 5 percent market share in 2016 to 10 percent in 2017, thanks to money-back guarantees, free in-home trials and innovative compressed mattress-in-a-box delivery. A mattress is squashed to fit in a box measuring 18 by 44 inches; about the size of a medium file cabinet. One person can easily carry it up stairs or around corners. Released from the box, the foam mattress expands to normal size in eight to 12 hours. The cardboard package can be reused or recycled.

Email manufacturers to either congratulate them on better choices or complain about excess. Each purchase voices an opinion. Let’s make it count.

nplugging with creative and fun activities fosters skills that can last a lifetime. Studies published by the National Endowment for the Arts Office of Research & Analysis show that participating in performing and visual arts enhances children’s social skills and emotional processing, builds confidence and improves academic aptitude.

“Not every child needs to play a team sport. Team experiences such as working with peers toward a goal, learning to win and lose gracefully and to get along with others can also be learned through the arts,” explains Antonella D’Aloia, a developmental and expressive art teacher with The Whole Child, in Upton, Massachusetts. “Both crafts and expressive artistic creation have huge benefits because they’re usually seen as nonthreatening activities, especially for kids with anxiety or on the autism spectrum. Art offers a safe

place in which they can hone new responses to difficult feelings.”

Earth-Based Self-Expression

Weaving, scrapbooking, making friendship bracelets and other art projects involving organic or re-usable materials can demonstrate sustainability while teaching children how to follow directions, cultivate patience and strategize. Healthy cooking classes are a creatively engaging avenue for youths to learn about connections between a healthy Earth and maintaining personal health. Expressing themselves through the visual arts, drama and dance promotes problem-solving and innovation, as does joining a science or Lego club.

“It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to try new things,” stresses D’Aloia. “Go to local school concerts, plays and art exhibits. Look for public art in your area. Local libraries often offer great activities for kids.”

Mindful Investments

Instilling mindfulness in children can be both fruitful and far-reaching. “Origami—the Japanese art of paper folding without cuts or glue—is a quintessential hobby for centeredness. The act of folding paper is so engrossing that one is very present and in the moment,” says Kathleen Sheridan, origami master and founder of Origami and You, in St. Paul, Minnesota. “Origami stimulates both sides of the brain and helps to build self-esteem. Most of all, it’s fun, portable and inexpensive.”

Fostering imagination and using the written word through journaling or storytelling nourishes a child’s inner world. “Creating a short story requires divergent thinking; young writers use their imaginations to generate unique ideas for characters, settings, plots and conflicts. We help them think deeply, write authentically and respect the perspectives of others, while learning to create and share their own stories and experiences,” explains Kimberly O’Connor, young writers program director at Lighthouse Writers Workshops, in Denver, Colorado.

“Expressing the exact shape of an iris or the sound of a cricket, for example, requires intense curiosity and at-

tention, two qualities that can serve children and teens indefinitely,” she explains. Such skills can help students anywhere—in the classroom, on the sports field and later, when they begin to search for and find jobs.

According to Stanford University research published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, learning an instrument helps to improve children’s reading skills, especially those struggling with dyslexia and other learning challenges.

Researchers at the German Institute for Economic Research revealed that learning music amplifies cognitive and non-cognitive skills twice as much as engaging in sports, dance or theater arts.

The Wellbeing Project, in Great Britain, has inspired activities such as sewing to benefit well-being. According to research published in the Journal of Public Health, quilting boosts cognitive ability, emotional equilibrium and creativity.

Introducing life skills and hobbies that nourish selfhood can be one of our greatest gifts to the next generation. D’Aloia remarks, “Helping our children to express who they are, rather than who we expect them to be, is the most powerful thing we can do.”

Therapeutic Massage Results

“Maintenance massage is great for helping your pet stay at their peak level of health for as long as possible. It’s also a great tool for monitoring and early detection,” says Kim Tews, a certified small animal massage practitioner located near Portland, Oregon.

Jonathan Rudinger, a registered nurse, licensed massage therapist and authority on canine massage in Ann Arbor, Michigan, explains that massage supports oxygen exchange, helping animals to breathe more deeply, and even encourages coughing to loosen phlegm and debris in the lungs.

Increasing both blood and lymphatic circulation is another benefit. “Manual lymphatic drainage massage is a good immune booster, and benefits pets of all breeds and ages,” says Tews. Massage shortens postoperative recovery time for pets and helps decrease inflammation and pain while lowering blood pressure and working to normalize breathing patterns and digestion.

For dogs with arthritis, Rudinger says that massage works to increase the natural fluids within the dog’s body, along with improving lymph and blood circulation and hormone and energy flow. When it comes to sporting events and intense recreation, massage can be used to increase blood flow to muscles beforehand and reduce muscle soreness afterward.

Massage is a comfort for beloved dogs receiving treatment for a terminal illness or palliative care. The practice can also reduce the

need for pain medication, decrease metabolic end products in tissues, ease constipation and feelings of anxiety and isolation, and instill greater peace.

Behavioral Results

Massage therapist Michelle Rivera with the Healing Oasis Wellness Center, in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, remarks in the journal Integrative Veterinary Care, “It was in China that I learned that many behavioral problems can also be alleviated or eliminated with the addition of massage therapy. In my own practice, the majority of issues I successfully work with using massage are behavior problems and seizures.”

Highly sensitive animals may find that therapeutic massage makes being touched more tolerable. Rudinger explains that it can clear physiological energy blocks. His approach with dogs is to work on the stomach energy meridian, which flows down around the mouth, down both sides of the midline and underneath the abdominal side of the body. It ends up around the anus, beneath the animal’s tail.

As the meridian is associated with the emotional brain or limbic system, working on this area is particularly useful for dogs that are fear-biters, food- or dog-aggressive, have separation anxiety or problems with their gastrointestinal tract.

Generally speaking, dog massage can be a useful tool for stress relief and relaxation.

Find the Right Expert

An integrative veterinarian can provide advice and recommend an experienced area canine massage therapist to treat an animal’s specific need. At-home or in-clinic sessions may last from 30 to 80 minutes.

Having a family member massage a pet can add calming and bonding benefits, especially in palliative care. A workshop or continuing education course will teach basic to advanced hands-on massage skills. Offering the benefits of therapeutic massage to a dog is one of the greatest gifts we can give to support their happiness and quality of life. It can also work wonders for cats.

MASSAGE FOR CATS A

by Sandra Murphy

lthough the method of massage and results can be similar to that for dogs, cats have their own rules about how they are touched. “Every massage must be individualized,” says Katie Mehrtens, owner of The Right Spot Pet Massage, near Chicago, and a nationally certified small animal massage therapist. “Cats are typically more sensitive to touch than dogs, and can become overstimulated. I am hyperaware of the cat’s reactions, and often give them more breaks to avoid stress,” she says.

“If your cat doesn’t like to be touched, you just haven’t figured out the best moves yet,” advises Maryjean Ballner, a massage therapist in Santa Barbara, California. “Common mistakes include rubbing, instead of caressing, and going too fast. Felines get the reputation they’re difficult. Pay attention to the basics.”

“Although many bones and muscles in cats and dogs have the same names and locations, they may not be identical in physical

appearance or function,” Mehrtens says.

“A cat’s skeleton is slender, with lean, fluid muscles designed for leaping distances with stealth and agility. They’re likely to experience less wear and tear on joints than dogs.”

Ballner offers tips to let the cat be the teacher as to what works best: n Get down to their level. n Approach at shoulder height, not the top of the head. n Caress using full palms, not just fingertips. Slower is safe, enjoyable and desirable. n Caress under the chin and around the cheeks using finger pads and full palms or the flat area between the knuckles. n Focus totally on the cat for four minutes. Make it routine. n Voice soft, soothing, low-tone phrases— not baby talk; maybe repeating, “Oh, you good boy, good boy.”

Susi Rosinski, a certified feline, canine and equine massage therapist and owner of Ancient Far East Healing Arts, in Tonawanda, New York, offers, “Most of my [feline] clients have joint pain or back mobility difficulties. Working on legs and joints after they’re fully relaxed helps them, as well as being safer for me, as I slowly add pressure to the areas where they need it most.”

“For four minutes a day, cat massage is therapeutic, whether it’s for you or the cat,” says Ballner.

Travel and Health

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

W

e all look forward to traveling and vacations. They help break up the routines of work and home and give our body and mind a change of pace, activity and scenery. Traveling and vacationing can be restful, invigorating, peaceful, exciting, entertaining and educational. Families can come together or new friends can be made. Appreciation for other lands, cultures and people expands our awareness and acceptance of others, and the world becomes a closer-knit and friendlier place where borders and prejudices dissolve.

When planning for travel, we take lots of factors into consideration. Who’s going, where, when and for how long, what to wear, what to spend, where to sleep and what to eat are all part of the anticipation and excitement. Along with all that, health matters should also be a factor in our decisions and plans. Do you have health problems or does the place you’re going to have health problems? These can be little or big challenges depending on you, your preparedness and your destination.

First, let’s start with ourselves. Take an itinerary of your health problems. Do you take any medicines, either on an as-needed basis or regularly? Get your prescriptions updated and filled to cover your traveling time. These can range from an aspirin for the occasional headache or back pain to strong painkillers taken on a daily basis. If you’re going to be walking, sitting or doing any activity a lot that might aggravate your pain, make sure you bring extra pain medicines for any unforeseen occasions. Those of you in chronic pain know how everything can grind to a halt on a bad day, and you thus must be cognizant of your limitations and plan ahead.

Other meds that you may be taking regularly may include: birth control pills, thyroid medication, seizure meds, high blood pressure meds, and diabetes meds such as pills, insulin, syringes, and glucose monitors. Fresh batteries for any medical devices should be on hand. Chronic skin conditions may require 52

creams, gels, ointments, lotions, patches or bandages. Having a little first-aid kit with a few of the essentials could be a great help and save you a lot of aggravation.

Travelers with special needs or handicaps will have to make appropriate plans. Remember, many countries are not easy for the disabled traveler and you should check ahead for wheelchair accessibility, etc. Do you need medical alert bracelets or I.D.? Every traveler should make copies of their identifying documents, such as passports, licenses, charge cards, etc., and copies of their medical conditions, medications and special instructions where necessary. Check ahead for the nearest medical facilities or hospitals. This can be done quickly and easily on the Internet.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: any pregnant woman needs to consider the potential problems to herself as well as the quality of medical care available during travel and at her destination. The safest time to travel is during your second trimester (between 18-24 weeks). If you are in your third trimester you should probably stay near home in case there is a risk of premature labor, hypertension, toxemia or phlebitis. If you must travel while pregnant, check your health insurance to see if it will cover you and your newborn at your destination. Know your blood type and make sure, in the event of surgery, that blood in that country is screened for HIV and hepatitis B at least. Do not go to a destination with outbreaks of life threatening food- or insect-borne infections, areas with chloroquineresistant malaria, or areas where live virus vaccines are required. In fact, before becoming pregnant, it is advised that all routine immunizations should be up-to-date, because pregnant women should avoid live vaccines and not become pregnant within three months of receiving them. The diphtheria-tetanus vaccine is recommended every ten years, but is preferred to be administered to the pregnant woman in her second or third trimester. The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines are live and should not be given to pregnant women. Hepatitis B and influenza vaccines may usually be given. Air travel is usually not a problem for pregnant women unless they have severe anemia, sickle-cell disease or placental problems. As always, consult your physician first.

Breastfeeding is encouraged for your baby. If you must supplement their feedings, a powdered formula that reconstitutes with boiled, sterilized water is best. As for children: immunizations should be up-to-date. Consult with your pediatrician on what meds to brings in case of diarrhea, infections, etc.

Pets: the CDC has regulations governing the importation of dogs, cats, turtles (size and number), and monkeys (monkeys cannot be imported as pets). Pets that are taken out of the U.S. are subject, upon return, to the same regulations as those that

enter for the first time. The U.S. government does not require general health certificates for pets, but some airlines might, and pets arriving in Hawaii and Guam, from the mainland U.S., are subject to local quarantine restrictions.

Dogs and cats are all subject to inspections at ports of entry for evidence of infectious diseases that can be transmitted to people. Rabies vaccines are usually required for dogs by the U.S. to get the pets back in the States. There are other regulations about other animals which you should consult prior to your trip. The Internet or your consulate or embassy will have the answers to your traveling questions.

One of the best Internet sites for travelers’ health is: www.cdc.gov/travel/. You can look up your destination, outbreaks, travelers’ diseases, vaccinations, safe food and water advice, special needs travelers, cruise ships and air travel, as well as references, resources and links. They list about fifty travel-related diseases which are well worth your time looking up. Remember, here in the U.S., we don’t see some of the deadly diseases which are very common in other countries.

For instance, did you know malaria occurs in over 100 countries, with roughly half of the world’s population at risk? More than 300-500 million people get malaria every year and over 1 million will die from it. It is a mosquito-borne infection and quite severe. There are several medications you can take before, during and after your trip to an endemic country, and your physician can recommend and prescribe them for you, which you must take.

Remember the standard advice: only boiled water may be safe to drink. Ice is not! When brushing your teeth, use only bottled or boiled water. There are also chemical disinfectants made from iodine or chlorine (iodine is better). Filters may not be enough. Raw foods, fruits, dairy products, etc., may be contaminated. Some tropical fish are toxic, such as barracuda, and reef-caught fist such as red snapper, amber jack, grouper and sea bass can be occasionally toxic. Cooking does not destroy the toxins, so be careful!

Travelers’ diarrhea is everyone’s nemesis, so remember to rehydrate with fluids or juices that are sanitary. Antibiotics such as Bactrim or Cipro and antidiarrheals such as Lomotil and Immodium can also be helpful. Consult with your physician first.

Enjoy and be safe!

QIGONG HEALING

How to Reverse Disease Naturally ~An Interview with Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack (Part 2 of 2)

This interview was conducted by Michelene Bell, publisher of “In Light Times Magazine”. Jeff Primack is a Qigong teacher that has studied with many Qigong masters from all over the world and has taught over 50,000 people in live seminars.

MB: What is the most powerful Qigong Exercise you teach people?

JP: If there was only one technique I could share with the world, it would be the 9-Breath Method. The most powerful Qigong systems rely on BREATHING TECHNIQUES to get their effects.

Supreme Science Qigong uses a blend of movement, meditation and breathing techniques, however it is highly focused on the breathing. Our transmission of this knowledge to the public is precise. Instruction of breathing is very specific and we provide all the important subtle details needed for success. When followed correctly the 9-Breath Method is scientifically shown to change the condition of your blood.

Qigong student Peter Blake has demonstrated that the 9-Breath Method has profound healing effects. Peter’s blood on the left reveals clumped cells before doing any breathing techniques. After a 45 second round of 9-Breath Method the image on the right reveals open and circulated blood. This shows how circulation and oxygenation of tissues is improving on the cellular level. With under one minute of breathing Peter changed his blood so noticeably. It appears God’s oxygen and qi are good to restore healthy blood.

MB: What other effects does 9-Breath Method have?

JP: During the technique we hold our breath for a few seconds and this incredible energy warms up the abdomen. With further repetitions of breathing this warmth turns into a blissful electricity.

It is hard to describe really, but you can’t be upset or angry when you feel it. It’s as if this “vibration” reminds us who we really are.

In the air dwells oxygen, Qi or Prana. When we learn Tumo Breathing we can increase our body temperature and blood circulation on demand. When someone “lays hands” on another person while doing these breathing techniques, it sends a wave of healing Qi into that person. Increasing Qi and blood circulation will also

indirectly help reverse many digestive problems, aches and pains, and promote a higher metabolism.

MB: America’s Healthcare is in crisis and losing the war on many diseases. Do you think FoodBased Healing will ever merge with Western Medicine?

JP: Imagine if hospital patients with cancer received an education about specific foods to eat to keep it from coming back. Imagine if hospital patients could practice Yoga and Qigong in lush green gardens full of oxygen and Qi. Meals could be prepared that increase the immune system and scrub the plaque out of the arteries. Sure I believe it is possible for Food Healing and Western Medicine to merge, in fact, it is likely. We can no longer afford the monetary cost of Western Medicine.

Diabetes exploded in America from 1998-2018 with a 500% increase! I have guided hundreds of students to reverse type-2 diabetes. It is an unnecessary disease, but medicine is running around looking for a cure. People just need to become educated about disease reversing protocols. Foods like Bittermelon contain an “insulin-like substance” equally potent as pharmaceutical insulin that millions of Americans take.

Foods like Watermelon can reverse kidney stones naturally.

There are TIME-PROVEN FOOD PROTOCOLS to reverse the majority of diseases society is currently struggling with. Everyone knows that cancer has been reversed with food, but even viral counts from HIV AIDS patients are being almost totally wiped out by coconut oil and other anti-viral foods. There’s a real revolution about to happen, not only for Qi, but also for the food. I see that healthcare will change profoundly when doctors of the future give food its correct status as healing medicine. This food education is part of our seminar.

MB: What drives you to charge only $149 for the 3-Day seminar?

JP:

My life has been greatly enhanced using the Food-Healing knowledge and Qigong. During my training I vowed to make Qigong accessible to the common people, yet be powerful enough for the trained expert. We feel compelled to make these energizing

try Qigong! This is what drives me! I know that if I charge $149 for 3-Days of Qigong Training that every room we go to will be filled to capacity. I know that if I am teaching Qigong I am being of highest service to humanity. Qigong going mainstream will have a profound benefit on the health of society.

“Qi Revolution” comes to Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center December 1st - 3rd practices available to all of society, not just for people with thousands of extra dollars to spend on seminars. Money ideally should not be a factor in someone’s decision to learn Qigong healing methods. Our goal is to share it with millions of people.

My belief is that someday breathing techniques will unite the world. They are

more powerful than you think reading this now. When hundreds of people do them in sync the “group energy” is one of the most profound oneness experiences imaginable.

Energy and matter become merged in the breath. The implications for asthma, pulmonary therapy, and stress management are beyond words. People simply need to

Your Fountain of Youth... is Within W

by Dr. Yolanda Cintron

e live in a time in history when we have more information about health and how our bodies function than ever before, yet the previous generation is healthier than our younger generation. We are obsessed with finding the fountain of youth but it is escaping us.

HealthMed has thousands of articles on root causes of diseases and the most basic solutions found by Nobel Prize winners elude us. Our physical bodies accumulate toxicity from our mother’s womb and increasingly as we move through life exposed to so many more.

We will call this accumulation our Bucket of Life. Fortunately, God gave us an amazing immune system that is constantly at work cleaning us out and removing toxic loads from the entire body.

Your job is to decrease the amount of toxic loads from your body and keep your immune system from getting overloaded. It is important that you become an active participant and take charge of your health. You must become educated and partner with your biological medicine and dentistry healthcare providers.

Boost your immune response with the most powerful antioxidants. High dose IV C therapy has been used for over 50 years to cure polio, hepatitis and other bacterial and viral infections at a fraction of the cost of conventional medicine.

Instead of flu shots, try a Vitamin C drip. For cancer, IV Vitamin C therapy is used in conjunction with chemotherapy to clean up the dead cancer cells chemo killed.

Glutathione is often referred to as the master detoxifier due to its central

role in protecting the body’s cells from free radicals. Glutathione is also very effective when administered through IV therapy. It helps to keep you young by efficiently detoxifying harmful substances in your intestines before they reach blood circulation. It also plays an important role in mounting successful immune responses when your body is under threat and is vital for controlling inflammation—a known risk factor for many chronic diseases that threaten longevity. With age, your ability to produce the antioxidant glutathione diminishes, making you more vulnerable to free radical cell damage, thought to be central to the aging process.

Reducing inflammation and providing your body with a healthy routine, like sleep, love, prayer, hydration, eating quality fuel and fresh organic powerful nutrients to clean up the mess daily is paramount.

I feel troubled to see new patients every week whose doctors are doing detoxification protocols before the patients are ready. As Dr. Cutler said, “Never take any chelator in any form if you have any mercury still inside your mouth. Never perform IV chelation or challenge tests.

Do not use chlorella or cilantro/coriander for chelation purposes.” Oral infections, oral toxic loads, mercury, heavy metals and infected root canals must be removed before detoxing.

An informed and caring healthcare provider would NOT do any type of detox or chelation therapy before your dental treatment. We should all know the detoxification process will bring these very toxic loads into your organs and cause serious problems.

Is Your Bucket Full?

Are you feeling below par, exhausted or perhaps have been diagnosed with cancer or another degenerative disease?

Has your body reached its maximum capacity of toxicity? Your life bucket is FULL! It is in your hands to implement the changes you need to make now.

I see many healthcare providers and highly educated people having a huge blind spot when it comes to the order of treatment and the importance of removing oral infections and oral toxic loads to achieve the health and vitality their patients deserve. If digestion starts in the mouth and someone has neurotoxic metals, infection or a dead tooth in their mouth, wouldn’t one think the gut, kidneys or organs are going to be compromised? Wouldn’t it be best to get them out ASAP?
