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.

re you getting enough fiber each day? With so many fast foods and processed foods in America, most adult Americans don’t get the fiber they need each day (25 to 35 grams). Fiber is a type of carbohydrate and is a part of plant-based foods that the body can’t digest. The fiber passes through our body keeping our digestive system healthy, keeping bowel movements regular and flushing toxins from our system. A low-fiber diet can lead to fatigue, high blood-sugar levels, digestive disorders and unhealthy food cravings. A diet high in fiber reduces the risk of chronic health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hemorrhoids and gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Adequate fiber can aid in weight-loss because it adds bulk to your diet and helps you to feel full sooner. Also, adding high fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, which tend to be low in calories, make it easier to consume less calories. It is important to eat plant foods in their whole form because refined or processed foods are lower in fiber content. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices contain nutrients but lack the beneficial fiber of the whole fruit or vegetable. Choose whole grains, flax seeds, chia seeds, legumes, and nuts and seeds. There are two types of fiber: Soluble and Insoluble. Soluble fiber: dissolves in water and can lower blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol. Good food sources include apples, avocados, artichokes, asparagus, bananas, barley, beans, berries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, dark leafy greens, legumes, lentils, nuts, oats, pears, peppers and squash. Insoluble fiber: absorbs water but does not dissolve in water. This bulky fiber helps prevent constipation. Good food sources include whole grains, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, legumes, nuts and seeds. A quick search on the internet will reveal how many grams of fiber are in particular foods we eat. If you are not currently eating high-fiber foods, start to add fiber to your daily diet gradually and increase your water intake. While meeting the daily recommendation for fiber intake may seem overwhelming at first, here are some tips from the Institute for Functional Medicine to increase your intake of fiber: • Aim to consume 5-10 servings of fresh vegetables per day. • Incorporate fresh, whole fruits and vegetables into every meal and snack. • Choose whole grain rice, breads, and pastas over products made with refined or white flour. • Get creative. If a recipe calls for animal protein, try making the dish with beans or legumes instead. This works well with chili, soups and stews. • Swap juices for smoothies, using the same ingredients. The taste will be similar, and the fiber lost during the juicing process will be blended into the smoothie.

Working with Tuning Forks: It’s a Vibrational Thing! It’s a vibrational thing! Tuning forks are a profound vehicle for transformation through sound and vibration.

scar became lighter. Working with Tuning Forks has been an inspirational journey for me. It reminds me that so much of our healing is simple and readily available to us. Tuning Forks can help with the healing process, moving scar tissue and fluids, and reducing tension in general. They also offer a gentle reminder of what comfort and ease feel like. Come and experience the power of vibration!

was initially introduced to tuning forks in 2003. At that time, I was studying Acutonics Acutonics is an energy based treatment which uses acupuncture points as its base. Tuning forks are placed on specific points on the body to access meridian and chakras systems . Via Acutonics, I learned that sound travels four times faster through water than through air. Considering that the Human Body is made up of 65% water, this makes the body a great receptor of resonance. Sound creates vibratory motion, which resonates through our bodies. This means that a tuning fork with a specific frequency, placed on the body, vibrates at a specific rate. This is turn reflects back through the body’s tissues and fluids, causing them to relax and decongest. The skill of the therapist is in knowing where and how to use the specialized tuning forks. At first I used tuning forks with my clients who were musicians. It was a way to treat them quickly, and get good results, as they intuitively understand sound and vibration In 2002 I became certified as a Lymphatic Drainage Technique therapist at the Dr. Bruno Chikly School. As a lymphatic therapist, I work with lymphedema, pre and post surgery, scar tissue refinement, and general detox. It occurred to me that I could be blending the techniques, and use the tuning forks with my lymphatic clients! They help balance the body, they move fluid, and they soften scar tissue. When I use a tuning fork on a scar, it has more mobility, it softens, loosens, and then fluids begin to move across the scar. I love working with tuning forks, they are grounding, balancing, opening, bridging, and expansive. Several years ago I was sick, and part of my treatment included the use of an IV port. It was inserted under my skin, just below my clavicle. When I had it removed, it had become encapsulated. Once the port was

removed, it left a small marble size ball that was restricting the range of motion in my arm, and was causing me pain. I decided to use the turning fork on it. The first time it reduced in size by half! So I used it a few more times. A few days later I thought I should use it again, and I was surprised to find that the hard ball was gone! My freedom of movement and range of motion returned, and my pain was gone.

Beverly Dowdle works at The Therapeutic Alternative. She offers treatments that combine the use of tuning forks with lymphatic drainage and body brushing. If you are interested in a treatment, contact Beverly at www.thetherapeuticalternative.com or call at 561-392-3340.

I have since added tuning forks to my treatments 1. A client that I see has secondary lymphedema in her right leg. It includes a fairly large scar blocking drainage in the upper thigh. The scar was red and raised. The tuning forks send sound waves that vibrate and travel deep into the body. My focus was on moving fluid from her leg. Using an acupuncture point on the medial side of her knee, I applied the tuning fork to this point; she then started to feel her leg draining. In her subsequent visits, I added the tuning fork treatment of the scar consistently, and my client could feel fluid drain through the area. Later she reported that the scar felt softer and flatter. 2. My next client had a tummy tuck after losing a lot of weight. A horizontal scar was across his lower abdomen from hip to hip. It was very congested, with a buildup of scar tissue. I applied the tuning forks, and my client could feel the vibration move across the scar from one side to the other. We both observed that the scar softened, fluid started to move, and the color of the

Returning to Oneness

e each embarked upon the journey of life fully prepared, our soul-self ready to express its gifts and experience life. Yet as life progresses we begin to question who we are, our gifts, our purpose, even our unique essence. When did the illusion of separation and the feeling of disconnection begin? Why is it if we are a part of the Oneness we struggle through experiences and question our Divine identity? For many it’s impossible to pinpoint a defining moment responsible for the human self resisting the flow of our Inner Being. Whatever the experience responsible for the fragmentation, the separation begins to feel real in the human expression. Feelings of abandonment, fear, unworthiness cultivate within the mind. We become conditioned by our family beliefs, society’s boundaries and the fragmentation continues. The illusions begin to define the experience and we interpret ourselves separate from Source, thus removed from the wholeness of the Universe. There comes a time when the Inner Being, always present, always prompting, whispers, “Come home to the oneness,” and so the return to the Soul-self begins. The recognition of the disconnection becomes a catalyst for return. An excitement fuels the return and we embark upon our human spiritual path ready to find ourselves again.

First find the feeling of love and remember you are love. Love can heal and dissipate any fear. Then recall a moment when you did not feel whole, good enough or perhaps felt abandoned. Nurture yourself and connect to your Soul-self to feel the love. Offer your childhood memory love, healing and an inner conversation to regain strength and safety to emerge from the hurt. Acknowledge there was never any separation; it was an experience removed from Source creating a feeling of disconnection. Separation is never a sustainable experience for it is not a Universal reality. The contrast, the disconnection was to align you with your power to create and recognize the God within. The Universe is an infinite source always in alignment. Be open to forgive the individual, individuals or condition connected to the feeling or experience at the root of separation. Embrace compassion for yourself and release inner and outer critical chatter. Recognize that the people connected were contending with their own sense of loss or separation. Release the need to blame or ask why. Invite your inner child to embrace the return home and the journey to human greatness as an expression of Source energy in motion.

Your natural match is waiting to meet you!

Have you found yourself on the path fueled with the elation of reconnection only to be distracted by the illusions of separation, again? How can that be? If you are returning to the essence of you, why is it so difficult to sustain? Is it a lesson? A test? Depending on ones’ early spiritual learning, the challenge might be interpreted as a punishment. All explanations become meaningless in the truth and the light of ones’ soul. So how does one, as the conditions and indoctrinations have become ingrained, heal the fragmentations within the human experience? How can you regain the Oneness with Source?

Remember the Divinity in you fuels you, sustains you, directs you.

Discover The Power in Feeling Good “Oh what a beautiful mornin’! Oh what a beautiful day! I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way.”– Oscar Hammerstein II

ave you ever had a day when you just woke up feeling good? Or maybe at some point in your day you noticed that, for no particular reason, you felt especially great, happy, relaxed—comfortable in your own skin? This “glow” can show up seemingly out of nowhere, either as a physical sensation, an emotional “high” or both. In those moments we feel carried along by the flow of the Universe—bringing just the right peo-ple, places and things to us. Harry Potter fans might remember the Felix Felicis “Liquid Luck” potion. Harry needed information from someone and, after drinking the potion, he was relaxed, happy and just “felt like” going to visit another friend. On the way he “happened” to encounter the person with the informa-

tion and the perfect circumstances for the conversation. Your “feeling good” moments can work just that way. If you don’t happen to have any Liquid Luck at hand, create your own “potion.” Simply do something that fulfills you, which naturally puts you in the “zone” that successful athletes and performers talk about. Regular spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, chanting, etc. help keep you centered, increasing the likelihood of experiencing “in the flow” moments. Start a ca-reer where you can truly make a difference in people’s lives, which will make your flow moments the rule, rather than the exception. I was introduced to reflexology by a good friend over forty years ago. I still remember how great it felt, and how I seemed to float away during my sessions with her. I found that reflexology took me “out of myself ”, where I experienced a sense of joyous flow.

I took every class I could find about reflexology and made it my mission to share these amazing feelings with as many people as possible. During the next few years I integrated reflexology with several other healing techniques to create Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology. Soon after, people began asking me to train them in my Method. I have now trained thousands of Reflexologists in Laura Norman Holistic Foot, Hand, Face and Ear Reflexology, who are experiencing and sharing the same healing “flow” I felt for the first time so many years ago. The techniques I use and teach in this natural, non-invasive modality reduce stress, increase energy, calm the nervous system, help eliminate toxins and encourage the release of endor-phins, our natural "feelgood" hormones. People with pain, anxiety, insomnia, weight issues, depression and many other conditions report substantial

Living Miraculously- What’s Scaring You?

ome people really loved to be scared. Sensation seeking, “fans of fright” get an adrenaline rush from scary things, like horror flicks and death defying roller coasters (That would not be me). I like what comedienne Kathleen Madigan says: “I’m not afraid of Vampires. Nope, not at all. A Vampire can walk into my room in the middle of the night and I would be like, yeah, what do you want? But I’ll tell you what does scare me… this big black mole on my arm.” We are all born with different temperaments that contribute to our perception of fear. Maybe we started out as thrill seekers or simply enthusiastic, curiosity driven adventurers and then somewhere along the way, life experiences changed not only what scares us… but guess what… what inspires us. Usually around middle age, the reality of our immortality begins to set. By that time we’ve accumulated years of personal experiences, observed other’s experiences and have likely exaggerated the dreadful possibilities of “what could” happen. But here’s an interesting statistic: Most of our general fears never happen. Insurance companies know this and that’s why they make so much money on the gazillion types of insurance policies they sell, running the gamut from “Cold feet insurance” ( your betrothed backs out of the wedding) to Alien abduction insurance ( Uh huh, no kidding). On the flip side, here’s another little nugget of useful information: If you spend most of your time worrying and in fear about “what could happen,” then those little eaves droppers; your cells and the Universe will respond in accordance with your thoughts and “give you something to worry about” and I know you don’t want that!

Palm Beach Edition

“Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don’t go out on the branch, you’re never going to get the best fruit.” —Sarah Parish There are other types of subtle fears, holed up and hiding deep within your subconscious. These cleverly disguised fears are the most devastating. When they are the key holders to your emotional headquarters, you’re running on low grade, low- level anxiety- ridden, and worry- filled fuel. It clouds your vision and pops a pin in your balloon of enthusiastic and inspired ideas. These fears are ready to strike whenever you have an idea to do something different… or brilliant and amazing! In my practice, in my workshops, at speaking engagements, in my writings, my bottom line message to everyone is this: You were born here with a special purpose. Yes, yes you were. Your job here on this planet is twofold: Number one: Discover your passion and your purpose (Yes, I coach people on this) Number two: When you do discover this all important and miraculous gift, it is your job to share your talent, your gift with the world. Wouldn’t there be a lot less fear, anxiety and problems in this world if we were all doing what we were meant to and what we love to do? Of course! If you want to live in alignment with your purpose and passion, if you want to achieve your personal greatness and live a full and happier life, one thing is for sure: You have to move past your fear and take action! Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Jim Carrey, Kris Carr, Bill Gates and Stephen King are the names of just a few of the people who had to overcome fears and even devastating obstacles before manifesting and living their life purpose. What’s the difference between them and you? Nothing, except perhaps …your mind set.

napalmbeach.com

If you sincerely want to overcome your fears, you have to confront them, challenge them and take back your control. Here are three tips to get you started: 1: Name your fears and invite them in. Your fears reside in the shadows. Acknowledging them and coaxing them into the light will lessen their impact. (I would be happy to share my meditation: “Journey to Awakening” about meeting your subconscious. Just email me at michelelanders@bellsouth.net ) 2: Have an open dialogue with your fears: They have a voice and want to be heard! Listen intently. Don’t hate your fears-- they really thought they were keeping you safe. 3: Gently challenge your fears: Are your fears (and beliefs) 100% accurate? How can you be sure? Are they your voice… or someone else’s voice from your past? They key to uncovering and conquering your fears is to be courageous enough to keep asking questions to uncover and remove its roots and then to plant the seeds of your most joy filled life!

Simple Steps To Feel More Confident Now

here are likely certain areas in your life that you feel confident about. These are things that you’ve mastered, things that you do well, things that feel natural to you. But how about those times when you feel unsure or self-doubt creeps up? Wouldn’t it feel amazing to carry that same sense of confidence in everything you do? But first, let’s clarify some differences between confidence and ego. Confidence is naturally believing in yourself in the present. Ego is feeling like you have to prove yourself, engaged in comparing or competing. One definition of confidence is the ability to take action in life from a sense of inner direction, regardless of unknown future results. It’s being proud of who you are in the NOW instead of anticipating what you will or will not have, reach or not reach. Do not wait for something, or a future experience, to make you feel confident, or happy for that matter. If so, you may be waiting a long time. This mindset approach is always focused on the future and on lack, minimizing your current worth, and sacrificing your current joy. The longer you choose to wait, putting your present on hold, the more self-doubt and unhappiness you invite into your life. Complete these sentences: I will feel really good about myself when…. I will feel really happy when … (Go ahead and list a few things that come to mind) Notice the ways you might be unconsciously limiting your happiness and sense of self-worth by not honoring where you currently are. Basing your confidence only on outer factors or future achievement does not support your sense of present serenity, confidence, and balance. As an example, many people may think they can only be happy and feel good about themselves once they reach their ideal body, accomplish something, or

make a certain amount of money. You have to first learn how to be happy in the NOW with what you’ve got and where you are. Then when you reach a personal goal, whatever that might be, your inner confidence and happiness are not dependent on it, it can be sustained simply as a next elevation point in your life. Now, replace the previous sentences with: Right now, I feel really good about myself because…… Notice what comes up for you, and if you might feel better than when you focused on delay, attributing your confidence and worth until sometime in the unknown future? When you honor yourself for being just where you are, you feel more empowered, and you simply take any inspired next step. You carry a sense of pride from within, feeling that outer factors don’t rock your inner stability or knock you down. The next time you feel not so confident about yourself, don’t focus on what you need to accomplish to feel better, but instead choose to be proud of your present state of being and abilities in the NOW. Trust yourself enough to know that you are currently using inner resources, can follow through on anything you’d like to accomplish, and who you are now is absolutely good enough.

How Music Has The Power To Heal What Ails You

tudies have shown music’s almost magical impact on healing and music is being used in a variety of new ways, such as teaching stroke patients how to walk and helping premature babies gain weight. “Music treats the soul, and If you treat your soul the body will ultimately positively react,” says D. Kenny Davin Fine MD, a gastroenterologist who is also creator of Oro-Intestinal Fitness Products (www.finerhealth.com). “Music is under appreciated as a healing source that can be just as powerful a prescription as drugs.” Fine, a musician himself who recently recorded a “Rockspirational” double music album, has used his scientific and medical expertise to pioneer new paradigms to diagnose and treat a variety of illnesses and conditions. But he says music can be therapeutic as well. “Music can be an integral part of creating a unique prescription of health, happiness and hope,” says Fine, who has also created the FinerHealth, FinerLife Travelling Musical Medicine Show which he will soon take on the road to live events. Fine offers these recommendations for people who are having medical issues and want to incorporate music as a healing therapy:

Sing to yourself even if it is just in the car or the shower. Research has shown that music not only engages the auditory system but many other parts of your brain as well, including areas responsible for movement, language, attention, memory, and emotion. The impact can be felt regardless of if a person is listening to music, playing an instrument or singing. Take off the headphones. Headphones cranked up too loud cause hearing loss. Listen more to soothing music that relaxes you at lower volumes. If you can’t give up the headphones, a good rule of thumb 22

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

is to not turn the volume up so loud that you can’t hear other sounds around you. Learn to play an instrument. This not only enhances your music appreciation, but will encourage you to listen to more. Learning to play a musical instrument also is one of the best exercises for your brain. “Music is an important part of our lives, but for people who have health issues, it could play an even more important role if they only utilized it,” Fine says. “I believe we are only beginning to scratch the surface when it comes to the healing power of music. I think in the coming years we will have more hard evidence of its potential. I even predict that in the future people will choose their health practitioner not only for their specialty, and personality but in what area of creativity they dwell.” About Kenny Davin Fine MD Kenny Davin Fine MD, creator of OroIntestinal Fitness Products (www.finerhealth.com), is a gastroenterologist who has held staff positions at both Baylor University Medical Center and the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical School. His medical research has appeared in prestigious medical journals including The New England Journal of Medicine, Gastroenterology, The Journal of Clinical Investigation, and The American Journal of Gastroenterology. He has been professionally involved in patient care, medical research, teaching, directing clinical laboratories, nutritional pioneering and original health product and unique organic health food product development for almost 30 years. Fine is also a highly regarded singersongwriter, guitar and harmonica player, and recording artist with 11 album releases to date. He has worked in the recording studio with Grammy and Oscar-winning producers, including Michael Lloyd, Niko Bolas, and John Hampton.

Knitting Releases the Blues Knitting can alleviate the blues, slow the onset of dementia and distract from chronic pain, according to a survey published in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy. Eighty-one percent of respondents described feeling happier after a session of needlework. In another study, researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital found that the act of knitting lowers heart rates by an average of 11 beats per minute, eliciting a state of relaxation similar to that of yoga. A Mayo Clinic study found that crafts like knitting and crocheting also reduce the chance of developing mild cognitive impairment by 28 percent. In a University of British Columbia study, 74 percent of 38 women with the eating disorder anorexia reported that it lessened the intensity of their fears and thoughts and cleared their minds of eating disorder preoccupations. In a survey of 1,000 members of the British group Knit for Peace, one in five respondents reported that knitting reduced their arthritic pain.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have found that receiving music therapy can significantly lessen a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for opioids and other painkillers after invasive surgery. The researchers tested 161 patients; 49 in the music group and 112 in a control group. After their surgery, both groups were offered painkillers intravenously at dosesÂ requested by the patient. Of those engaged in music therapy, 86 percent avoided the painkillers, compared to only 26 percent of the control group.

Music Lessons Make Kids Smarter Structured music lessons significantly enhance childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cognitive abilities, including language-based reasoning, short-term memory and planning, while reducing inhibition, leading to improved academic performance, report researchers from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In the study, 147 Dutch 6-year-olds were divided into music, visual arts and control groups, and monitored for two-and-a-half years. The children in the music group sang, listened to music and played an instrument of their choice one to two hours a week during regular classroom time. Compared to the control group, they demonstrated improved verbal IQ and reasoning skills, and a greater ability to plan, organize and complete tasks, as well as improved academic achievement. Children given structured visual arts lessons showed improvements in visual and spatial memory compared to the control group.

Creating Food from Carbon Dioxide

By 2050, the world’s population is estimated to hit 10 billion, and food production will need to increase by 70 percent. Traditional farming won’t be able to keep up. Lisa Dyson, who holds three degrees in physics, including a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston, knows the reason: ubiquitous carbon dioxide. This byproduct of burning fossil fuels is a known culprit in the pace of climate change. Dyson is revolutionizing the way protein is made. Several years ago, she and colleague John Reed came across NASA reports from the 1960s and ’70s that discussed using microbes to recycle carbon dioxide aboard spacecraft. “We were fascinated by their research. We wondered if we could develop a similar technology that would enable us to recycle carbon dioxide into valuable products here on Earth,” Dyson says. Their startup, Kiverdi, uses microbes to transform carbon into bio-based products in special bio-reactors similar to the giant urns used to brew beer. This year, they’re commercializing a new process to transform CO2 into protein powder. The end product, Planet+Protein, is packed with essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. 26

Ivory Outlawed

UK Banning Both Legal and Illegal Trade

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is in the process of implementing a near-total ivory ban. It can’t happen soon enough because elephant populations continue to dramatically decline. As recognized by the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species last September, “Countries with domestic ivory markets that contribute to elephant poaching or the illegal ivory trade should take all necessary legislative, regulatory and enforcement measures to close such markets as a matter of urgency.” Any legal ivory market leads to a parallel illegal market because ivory from recently killed elephants can be made to look like old ivory, which is legal in many countries, through processes like chipping, staining and cracking. The UK has long played a role in the international ivory trade. During the colonial era, more than a million elephants were killed to feed British demand for everything from ivory ornaments and piano keys to billiard balls and cutlery. Much of that material remains in the UK today, fueling the market. Trade data indicates that the UK is still the world’s largest exporter of legal ivory, most of which goes to Asian destinations like China and Hong Kong.

Serious concerns have surfaced about food transparency, and people are asking questions. Documentaries like Rotten urge consumers to think twice about the origins and ingredients of their food, but answers are not always readily available. In addition to environmental concerns like long-distance transportation, people are worried about food recalls and safety. FoodLogiQ’s software solution creates “farm to fork traceability”, welcoming companies across the industry to participate, with approximately 7,000 having registered so far in some 100 countries—including Whole Foods, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Carl’s Jr., Subway, Buffalo Wild Wings and the Panda Restaurant Group. Information provides useful details such as where the food was harvested, whether pesticides were used, where the food traveled and how it was processed. FoodLogiQ Chief Marketing Officer Katy Jones suggests this is an important moment of change in the food industry, saying, “Food companies are embracing global standards to increase efficiencies and build a foundation for traceability and supply chain visibility.”

Leading Food Companies Aim to Slash Energy Footprints

McDonald’s plans to reduce greenhouse emissions from their restaurants, corporate offices and supply chain by more than 30 percent by 2030. They’re the first restaurant chain with goals backed by the Science Based Targets initiative. The company expects to decrease its total emissions by more than 150 million tons. AB InBev, the parent company of Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser beer, has ambitious plans to purchase electricity only from renewable sources for its worldwide operations in seven years. The first step includes Bud Light. The goal is for all operations in the company’s 12 Budweiser breweries across the U.S. to be powered by renewable energy. Budweiser plants outside the U.S. will also switch to all-renewable energy, with all products planned to transition by 2025. The new status will be denoted by the label “100% Renewable Energy”.

Saudi Solar

Oil Giant to Invest in Renewable Energies Project

Saudi Arabia intends to host the world’s largest solar project. “It’s a huge step in human history,” says Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. “It’s bold, risky and we hope we succeed in doing that.” Solar power is a logical choice for the country. Its capital, Riyadh, averages 8.9 hours of sunshine a day. The nation is also projected to be severely impacted if climate change raises global temperatures 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. According to Climate Action Tracker, if the global temperature rises 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, 75 percent of the country would be excessively arid by the end of the century. According to the most recent data available from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Saudi Arabia produces 13 percent of the world’s oil and currently obtains 60 percent of its electric energy from petroleum.

Corporate Conscience

A new study shows that there are significantly fewer plastic bags on the seafloor since a number of European countries introduced fees on them, according to a 25-year study from the UK government’s Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS). Researchers saw an estimated 30 percent drop in the number of plastic bags in waters around Norway, Germany, northern France and Ireland. “It is encouraging to see that efforts by all of society, whether the public, industry, non-government organizations or government, to reduce plastic bags are having an effect,” says Thomas Maes, a marine litter scientist at CEFAS. “We also observed sharp declines in the percentage of plastic bags captured by fishing nets trawling the seafloor around the UK compared to 2010, and this research suggests that by working together, we can reduce, reuse and recycle to tackle the marine litter problem.”

Turtle Turnaround Hatchlings Return to Mumbai Beach After 20 Years

At Versova Beach, in the Indian coastal city of Mumbai, local volunteers have stepped up to finally clean up a shore covered in ankledeep trash and waste. The United Nations described the transformation as the world’s largest beach cleanup project ever, and the work has been rewarded with serious environmental progress. For the first time in 20 years, Olive Ridley sea turtles have hatched at Versova. The turtle is currently classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because of environmental pollution. They’re the smallest and most common sea turtle, but all species are threatened by human encroachment and pollution. Lawyer and conservationist Afroz Shah says, “I had tears in my eyes when I saw them walking towards the ocean.” Local ecologists say it’s possible the Olive Ridley turtles have been nesting on the beach without anyone noticing, but capturing this momentous occasion is a huge boon to the volunteers, which have encountered some resistance via harassment and bureaucracy.

Last Straw

Groups Work to Make U.S. Go Strawless

About 500 million plastic straws are discarded daily in America, reports the U.S. National Park Service. Plastic that reaches waterways is ingested by marine life and our food chain. Individuals and municipalities are taking action to support options, including going strawless. n The Last Plastic Straw (TheLastPlasticStraw.org), a project of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, has a worldwide map locator that pinpoints restaurants that have ceased using plastic straws. n Milo Cress, who launched the Be Straw Free (BeStrawFree.org) campaign in 2011 when he was 9, is again speaking to school students this fall, primarily via Skype. “It’s exciting to inspire them to know that they can do something in their community,” says the senior high school student in Shelburne, Vermont. n Strawfree.org, a Southern California volunteer-driven organization, offers kits that include bamboo straws, carrying holders and cleaning brushes. n McDonald’s has announced it will transition from plastic to paper straws in its U.S., UK and Ireland restaurants beginning this year, and subsequently expand the switch to other countries. n In May, New York City lawmakers introduced a bill banning plastic straws in all bars and restaurants in the Big Apple, and Seattle has banned the use of single-use plastic straws, thanks to the Strawless in Seattle movement. Eco-Cycle, Inc. (EcoCycle.org) and the Inland Ocean Coalition, both in Boulder, Colorado, are asking restaurants citywide not to use them. In July, Starbucks announced plans to eliminate straw use globally by 2020. n StrawlessOcean.org offers straw alternatives made of paper by Aardvark, steel and silicone by Klean Kanteen, metal by Steelys Drinkware and bamboo by StrawFree. n EcoWatch.com suggests, “Unlike metal or glass, soft and bendable silicone straws don’t clink your teeth, making them ideal for kids and strawbiters” and that such products made by Softy Straws work with hot drinks and withstand dishwashers. It also recommends wheat stems, corn bioplastic and bucatini pasta, a spaghetti-like noodle with a hole in the middle.

As just one example, “Amazonian children are teaching their parents about how deforestation impacts climate change,” says Patel. A degree in environmental law and policy at Vermont Law School, in South Royalton, and expertise in environmental education, curriculum development, field research and community outreach has helped Patel to assist in developing lesson plans for ECI Water Schools.

Felix Finkbeiner, a German student, started Plant-for-the-Planet in 2007, when he was only 9. “It’s an amazing organization run by young people,” says Patel. Inspired by the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, Finkbeiner expanded Maathai’s original concept of a billion plantings to the Trillion Tree Campaign. To date, it’s seen 15 billion new trees in 190 countries under the guidance of the U.N. Environment Programme. Speaking at an Environmental Systems Research Institute Conference, Finkbeiner said that beyond planting trees, children

involved in the initiative have delivered presentations in schools and rotary clubs, and engineered sit-down meetings with mayors, local government officials and even presidents of countries. Several have spoken before the UN General Assembly and national parliaments, urging them to address the climate crisis.

A Revolution in Education

After graduating from Beijing University Affiliated High School, Jason Wang, 18, postponed college for a year and visited the U.S. and Europe looking for the best practices in education. When he returned, he was in no hurry to enter college, but rather to develop the curriculum for Beijing’s Moonshot Academy, which opened in January with 30 students from 14 to 16 years old. Turning traditional methods of education on its ear, Moonshot Academy students are accepted based on their learning ability, independent thinking skills and capacity to turn ideas into action, rather than standardized test scores. Students learn through personalized experiences that enable them to practice and demonstrate core competencies to face the challenges of the future. “Research shows that by the age of 39, today’s average high school graduate will have had nine different jobs, half of which have not been invented yet. Artificial intelligence has changed the playing field. We can’t keep educating kids in the same way,” says Nancy Riehle, executive director of the Creative Academic Network Scholastic Foundation that supports the academy. October 2018

At a pivotal time in which many theorize that our nation lacks the ability to coalesce around a great enterprise to solve existing problems, it appears that those doing the calculating have not factored in the millions of motivated young people as critical decision makers. It may be that their imagination, energetic drive, passionate selfconfidence and “no borders” cooperation paves the way to a brighter future for all.

s a style icon, humanitarian and pioneer of conscious consumerism, Donna Karan has elevated fashion to a platform for change throughout her career, using her celebrity status to raise funds for AIDS research in the 1990s and more recently venturing into alternative health care. Karan’s first collection under her signature label DKNY, which debuted in 1985, aimed to dress women in comfortable, professional clothes that embraced and flattered the female form. The brand was built on women’s strengths, rather than insecurities; her iconic 1992 “In Women We Trust” ad campaign depicted the inauguration of a female president. Her latest multidimensional Urban preservation, compassionate health care and education. The affiliated brand integrates luxury and sustainability with multicultural traditions and modern trends in a multifaceted line of clothing, accessories and beauty care products. UZIT fuses Eastern healing techniques and Western medicine in a patientcentric model intended to foster calm in the midst of the stress and chaos of illness. The complementary therapies program was born out of Karan’s challenging period serving as a caregiver during her late husband’s struggle with lung cancer. Karan is a member of the Coty Hall of Fame and recipient of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Lifetime

Achievement Award and Glamour’s Woman of the Year award.

How has your fashion style and philosophy changed over the course of your career?

For me, fashion has always been about “dressing and addressing.” It all started when the AIDS epidemic broke out in the late 1980s, and the fashion community came together to launch Seventh on Sale to raise funds and awareness for the disease that was taking the lives of so many talented designers. Now more than ever, we must address such issues. My philosophy and purpose has always been inspired by cultures, creators and artisans from all corners of the world, connecting past, present and future. I launched the nonprofit organization Urban Zen to create a community of change through philanthropy and commerce. I want consumers to be aware that their purchases provide the power to help others in need.

How is the UZIT program enhancing health and well-being?

UZIT came about after witnessing the ones I loved suffer and going through their experiences by their sides. Launched in partnership with yoga instructor Rodney Yee, the program has trained members

of collaborating healthcare and yoga communities in the healing modalities of yoga therapy, reiki, essential oil therapy, nutrition and contemplative care. The goal is to change the healthcare system by bringing care back into health care. Rather than just treat the disease, we need to treat patients, their loved ones and their caregivers. We also must express care for the doctors and nurses that are part of the story; they need gentle care every bit as much. We are all on this journey together. Therapists at centers such as the University of California, Los Angeles, rehabilitation unit have seen results with patients suffering from stress, claustrophobia, headaches and back pain through these techniques. Many patients report feeling more relaxed, sleeping better and experiencing less pain and anxiety than they had ever experienced with medication.

Do you see some positive trends in fashion today?

More people are paying attention to sustainability in fashion today than ever before, and more designers are using materials and fabrics that respect people and the planet; for example, by using quality materials that endure. Recycling fabrics and materials is one way to contribute to sustainability. We work with the Apparent Project, which recycles cereal boxes to make beautiful necklaces, as well as with Paula Coles, who makes bags out of T-shirts.

Can fashion effect social change in the world?

I view fashion, design and style all as platforms for conscious change. I use fashion to raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well-being, conscious consumerism and integrative education. Today, there is a greater emphasis on preserving our world cultures and maintaining the authenticity that comes from traditional artisans and artists. A collaborative mentality of “we” is far healthier than one of “me”. Connect with April Thompson, in Washington, D.C., at AprilWrites.com.

odern chiropractors are often seen primarily as pain specialists, yet their care can encompass much more. While the common focus is better health through spinal manipulation, the origins of chiropractic are manifold. Typical approaches for structural issues and injuries include spinal adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound and heat therapy, but some practitioners also embrace nutrition. Training requirements for chiropractors vary by state. “Here in Oregon, chiropractic physicians—both legally and through our training—are taught to be primary care physicians,” says Doctor of Chiropractic Michael Herb, of the Absolute Wellness Center, in Eugene, Oregon. “We must complete extensive training not only on the musculoskeletal system, but also on managing various internal medical pathologies such as those related to the cardiovascular system, genitourinary conditions, obstetrics and gynecology. We also learn to

perform minor surgical procedures.” Chiropractor Tom Hyland Robertson, of Whole Chiropractic Healthcare, in Odenton, Maryland, notes, “To limit chiropractic to two categories of traditional and integrative isn’t accurate. There are almost as many specialists among doctors of chiropractic (DC) as among medical doctors (M.D.). There are chiropractors that specialize in pediatrics, veterinary, orthopedics, internal medicine, neurology, radiology and other areas. Integrative chiropractic uses as many tools as possible from the realm of each doctor’s training.”

Integrative Well-Being The world of chiropractic is diverse and growing to meet patient needs. Many chiropractors offer several healing modalities inhouse that are geared to take whole-person care to an integrated harmonious level. “Research shows that patient outcomes are far better with a multidisciplinary ap-

proach to healthcare needs,” says Herb. “Offering a variety of specialties like physical therapy, sports medicine, nutrition and natural pain relief in my practice means patients receive the care and amount of time they need. They are not limited by what I personally can offer or have time to provide.” Many chiropractic facilities nationwide employ acupuncturists and therapeutic massage therapists, offering diverse treatment options like functional medicine and cryotherapy—ice therapy—versus traditional heat therapy. Robertson provides complementary treatments ranging from nutrition to physical therapy and yoga because he has found it is important to incorporate multiple treatment philosophies, examining the same problem from different angles, saying, “Chiropractic integrates many safe modalities found to be more effective than opioids, for instance.” He notes that early chiropractic was actually integrative, with its founder, Donald David Palmer, promoting a healthy diet and calmer lifestyle a century ago.

Collaborative Options Progressive chiropractic now includes innovative approaches to treat the nervous system. The cutting-edge field of functional (or chiropractic) neurology, which reactivates partially non-functional neural pathways, is employed in cases like concussions, vertigo, migraines, pain syndromes, neuropathy and attention-deficit disorders. Massage modalities, combined with chiropractic, are widely recognized to significantly increase circulation and improve range of motion. Acupuncture, when used in conjunction with chiropractic treatment, enhances muscle relaxation and fosters easier adjustments. Chiropractor Kody R. Johnson, of the Johnson Chiropractic and Holistic Health Center, in Columbia, Missouri, is board certified in acupuncture and employs dry needling to target trigger points in tight muscles. He also specializes in functional medicine. Hormone balance, nutritional inadequacies, the presence of heavy metals and genetic markers for disease are all considered in determining a patient’s overall health. “Chiropractic treatment addresses results of physical stress. Functional medicine looks at emotional and biochemical stress,” says Johnson. “The chiropractic paradigm is based on the premise that the body has an inborn ability to heal itself. If the only method a provider has to offer is chiropractic adjustments, then they’ll have cases where the patient’s condition doesn’t fully improve because there might be other factors at play, including nutritional deficiencies, toxicities and emotional stress. When we address other relevant issues, we find that patients ‘hold’ their adjustments longer.”

REBOOTING LIBIDO Exercise Rekindles Desire by Maya Whitman

ecause exercise delivers so many benefits, it’s not surprising that one of them is increased libido. A low sex drive can affect either gender at any age, and contributing factors include hormonal changes, daily stressors and certain prescription drugs. According to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, shortduration bursts of exercise work to increase circulation and heart rate, thus amping up physiological arousal in women. Sexual performance is enhanced in men by exercising three to five times a week, according to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. “Eating right and being committed to a daily exercise regimen that includes strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training is key to maintaining a great libido and continual excellence in sexual function,” affirms Dr. Jeffry Life, author of The Life Plan: How Any Man Can Achieve Lasting Health, Great Sex, and a Stronger, Leaner Body and owner of The Life Center for Healthy Aging, in Charleston, West Virginia.

Healthy Hormones

Exercise increases testosterone, endorphins and adrenal hormones, all of which are essential to a satisfying sex life. Studies from the University of Texas at Austin show premenopausal women experience increased sexual response with exercise, including individuals with diminished sex drives due to the use of antidepressants. “Stress is one of the biggest libidokillers in women, and endorphins released during exercise can reduce stress, improve libido and increase arousal,” maintains Stephanie Mansour, fitness expert and CEO of Step It Up with Steph, in Chicago, Illinois. “Adding 30 minutes of exercise a few times a week can increase endorphins, blood flow and testosterone.”

Strength Training and Yoga

Testosterone—a hormone that plays a significant role in lighting our “fire” and keeping it lit—can be enhanced by adding workouts with weights. “Strength training can boost testosterone, which may boost sex drive in both women and men. For men, I recommend lifting weights and doing push-ups. However, it’s important to note that too much intense exercise or strength training may have the opposite effect, and actually reduce the desire to have sex,” says Mansour. In addition to a daily exercise program that includes cardio and flexibility exercises, Life concurs, “Thirty to 60 minutes of strength training three to four times a week is ideal.” According to a review published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, yoga may increase both male endurance and female response. “Yoga turns off our sympathetic nervous system, the part that keeps us in ‘fight-or-flight’ response. Inversions like the shoulder stand help to harmonize hormones, supporting a wellbalanced sex drive,” explains Pam Medina, owner of The Yoga Lily, in Clifton Park, New York. “We need to feel attractive, and yoga can help us to accept the body as a sacred vehicle for the soul.” No matter the age or condition of the body, a more satisfying sex life and better self-image is possible through feeling fit. Life reminds us, “Check with your doctor before taking up an exercise regimen, and know that maintaining a healthy body can give us essential ingredients for a great sex life well into our 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.” Maya Whitman is certified in bodywork and clinical essential oil therapy.

Options Grow for Plant-Based Eating by Marlaina Donato

lant-based lifestyles, once considered by some as a fad that would fade, are on the rise worldwide. According to a Harris Interactive poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, 6 million to 8 million Americans have completely eliminated meat, including seafood, from their plates. With a 600 percent increase of people going vegan domestically in the past three years and companies like Nestlé devising vegan-tailored product launches, plant-based eating is creating unprecedented demand. “I’ve definitely seen plant-based eating become more mainstream. Many restaurants now provide plant-based options to keep their customers happy, and more food startups are creating nut- and soy-based cheeses, milks and yogurts,” says Lisa Stollman, a plant-based nutritionist in New York City. Vegan lunch options are even

making their way into the Los Angeles public school system.

Millennials Lead the Way

GlobalData, a data and analytics company, reports, “Seventy percent of the world population is either reducing meat consumption or leaving meat off the table altogether,” with Millennials at the forefront. “The environment has been the Millennial generation’s primary concern. Health is of less importance than interest in making the Earth a better place to live,” says Gene Stone, a plant-based diet expert in Hudson, New York, and author of the bestselling Forks Over Knives: The PlantBased Way to Health. Stollman concurs, saying, “The majority of my vegan clients are in their 20s and 30s, and their concern for animal treatment relates to sustainability. Sustainability helps

to reduce methane emissions from industrial farms.” Wynnie Stein, co-owner of the iconic Moosewood Restaurant, in Ithaca, New York, and co-author of its groundbreaking spinoff vegetarian cookbooks, has witnessed monumental changes since the early 1970s. Younger cooks at Moosewood have also brought passionate innovations to the establishment. “Millennials are incredibly creative, especially with plant-based and gluten-free dishes. They’re committed to animal rights and issues that affect the health of the planet,” observes Stein.

Benefits All Ages

Since the American Medical Association’s recent suggestion that hospitals consider providing plant-based meals for patients, perceptions are shifting. Holistic Cardiologist Joel Kahn, in Ferndale, Michigan, began teaching plant-based diets to heart patients in 1990, and has subsequently seen hundreds of them avoid invasive and surgical procedures, as well as show less evidence of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension. “Many of my patients have decreased or eliminated the otherwise lifelong ‘jail’ of prescription drugs. They learned that disease reversal, not management, is the goal,” says Kahn. Supermarkets across the country are stocking meatless products like plant-based burgers. Many athletes and bodybuilders that have switched away from eating meat attest to improved results by tapping into plant power.

The Rise of Blue Zones in America Places that Encourage Healthy Living by Avery Mack

an Buettner’s book The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest launched a movement a decade ago. Sequels include The Blue Zones of Happiness, The Blue Zones Solution and Thrive. Many communities have embraced the principles of this “make healthy living easier” paradigm, resulting in the improved well-being of residents. “Add more years to your life and more life to your years,” says Nick Buettner, vice president at Blue Zones LLC, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the founder’s brother who spoke with us. “The people around you, the places where you work, live and play, and the social norms in your community have an impact on your health.” The original U.S. pilot project in 2009, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, is a prime example. Instead of widening a main thoroughfare and raising the speed limit, the city widened the sidewalk and created a path around nearby Fountain Lake, offering safe exercise for bikers, joggers and walkers. The Hy-Vee grocery increased its health market section from two to seven aisles, leading to a 130 percent rise in related sales, and added a Blue Zones checkout lane for healthy grab-and-go options. City workplaces now offer quiet rooms and fruit instead of candy; one business converted a garage to a pickleball court.

napalmbeach.com

The five original Blue Zones are Ikaria, Greece; Loma Linda, California; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Okinawa, Japan; and Sardinia, Italy.

Blue Zone Basics

Move Naturally – Even at work, get up

and move at least once every 20 minutes.

Reduce Stress – Take a nap, nature walk or meditate.

Act Intentionally – “People that feel

they have a reason to get out of bed in the morning tend to live seven years longer than those who just go through the motions,” says Buettner. A strong sense of purpose defines quality of life.

Eat Healthy – Enjoy the benefits of a

plant-based diet. One cup of beans a day adds three to four years in life expectancy. Plant a garden to grow fresher, pesticidefree food. Eat meat an average of five times a month and in small-portioned stir-fry, soups and pasta. Consume fewer calories. Drink wine in moderation. Check out BlueZones.com/recipes.

Maintain Relationships – “If you have

fewer than three friends, it’s the equivalent of smoking for 20 years,” Buettner maintains.

Are you ready to make the changes that bring you true health?

Robert Kneschke/Shutterstock.com

“Growing old in place and staying at home instead of a retirement or nursing home is easier to accomplish when you have a social network.” Meet regularly with friends.

Have Faith – A faith-based life taps into

a larger resource far greater than oneself and enhances a sense of purpose, social network and calm content.

Prioritize Family – Amid the busyness of

life, make the most enjoyable family time and nurturing activities each day’s first choice. “Over the last eight years in Florida, our sponsor, NCH Healthcare System, has helped to build well-being infrastructure and sustainability for approximately 400,000 people; that swells to nearly 1.2 million during high season from January to April,” says Deb Logan, executive director of Blue Zones Project-SWFL (Southwest Florida). “We have 33 Blue Zone-approved restaurants that collectively make an additional 176 plant-based menu items available locally; the first half of this year, they sold 130,000 Blue Zones-inspired dishes.” The healthful community philosophy was vital in Hawaii, when the Kīlauea Volcano spewed lava, sulfur dioxide and acid rain. First-responders staffed checkpoint stations around the clock to protect the public from dangerous areas, exposing themselves to combined sun and volcanic heat. The Hawaiian Blue Zone team delivered smoothies, beverages and paletas—healthy popsicles made with real fruit—to help workers stay cooler. They also delivered them to volunteers and public service groups, including Hope Services Hawaii, which built tiny houses for families displaced by volcanic activity. “We don’t come into an area and say, ‘This is what you must do.’ We say, ‘This is what you can do.’ The readiness must come from the city level, businesses, schools and nonprofits,” Buettner says. “The right leadership must be committed and prepared to follow through on multiple years of initiatives.” He remarks, “In the end, my hope for the future lies in the fact that communities care about their health. Blue Zones isn’t about the quantity of years, but the quality of life, and often that adds years, too.”

Blue Zone-Certified Cities

ertified communities have achieved their predetermined goals (outlined in project blueprints) as attested to via a combination of the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index and community-reported metrics. California—Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach Iowa—Algona, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Fairfield, Harlan, Iowa City, Marion, Mason City, Muscatine, Oskaloosa, Sioux City, Spencer, Spirit Lake, Waterloo, Woodbine Minnesota—Albert Lea Cities and other areas transforming to Blue Zone status Hawaii—East/North/West Hawaii, Kapolei/Ewa, Koolaupoko, Manoa/Makiki/ McCully/Moiliili, Wahiawa, Wailuku/Kahului (aka Central Maui) Oklahoma—Pottawatomie County Oregon—The Dalles, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Umpqua Southwest Florida—Ave Maria, Bonita Springs, Estero, Golden Gate, Immokalee, Naples/East Naples Texas—Fort Worth Wisconsin—Beaver Dam, Horicon, Juneau, Mayville

he statistics are startling—as many as a quarter to one half of American children now have a diagnosed chronic condition, according to studies that include one in Academic Pediatrics that includes obesity. Over the last few decades, the number of children with asthma has tripled to affect one in eight; those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have doubled to one in 10; and autism diagnoses have increased at least 10fold, to affect one in 50 (one in 31 boys). “It’s literally an epidemic of chronic childhood disease,” says Beth Lambert, of Charlotte, North Carolina, author of A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America’s Children and executive director of the nonprofit EpidemicAnswers.org. “Our children, with their little bodies and immature immune systems, can’t tolerate the toxic environments we’re all exposed to. They’re the canaries in the coal mine that show us that the way we are living today is not sustainable.”

napalmbeach.com

Call to Action

As scientists pinpoint the causes of conditions, parents, researchers and healthcare practitioners are discovering, Lambert says, that many of the youngsters’ chronic illnesses share a “perfect storm” of factors, including pharmaceutical overuse, toxic or nutritionally poor diets, exposure to toxins and other environmental stressors. “Many factors contribute to these chronic disorders; one size or one treatment doesn’t fit all,” says Dr. Kenneth Bock, of Red Hook, New York, an integrative medicine practitioner who has helped more than 3,000 chronically ill children and authored Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies. “But if children with one or more of the disorders are treated with a fully integrative medicine approach, the vast majority show some improvement, many significantly, and increasing numbers may recover to a point where they even lose their diagnosis.” Effective integrative applications often change the

child’s diet to nutrient-dense, additive-free foods and supplements for gut and brain health; employ allergy testing and elimination, detoxification and behavioral and physical therapies; vet household contaminants; target medications like antifungals and anti-inflammatories; and use homeopathy and acupuncture.

Case Study

Maria O’Neil’s firstborn son, Connor, had a perfect Apgar score (newborn health status) at birth and appeared healthy to everyone until after immunization at 15 months, when he became withdrawn and vacant, with head-banging and hand-flapping. A pediatrician diagnosed moderately severe autism and advised, “Accept your new normal. Your son was born this way.” O’Neil exclaimed, “I will not let this disease take my child!” After she replaced processed foods, sugar, dairy and gluten with organics in his diet, he became calmer and “more here”. Tests by another pediatrician, Dr. Bob Sears, showed Connor had gut damage, mitochondrial issues, a high viral load, a low white cell count and a deficiency in basic vitamins and minerals. “Now I had a game plan,” says O’Neil, of Joshua Tree, California. Connor was given fish oil, B12 shots, juices, targeted herbs, Epsom salt baths, hyperbaric oxygen, a mitochondrial cocktail

More Help for Healing EWG.org – the go-to website of the Environmental Working Group for information about toxicity in food, products and the environment Why It Matters – video accounts from doctors; parents and recovered children; DocumentingHope.com of nutraceuticals, medication with the antifungal fluconazole (Diflucan), the antiviral valacyclovir (Valtrex) and the immunityenhancing naltrexone (Revia), plus acupuncture, homeopathy and chiropractic. Over time, Connor’s eyes brightened, his language “burst forth” and he became social and loving. By age 5, educators took him off his individualized learning program because he had no relevant symptoms. Today, at 9, he’s a popular fourth-grade kid that loves swimming, soccer and art, and wants to become a scientist or engineer. “The future is limitless for Connor,” O’Neil reports. “He can do anything he sets his mind to.”

Brighter Future

“Once you have addressed the root causes, you can optimize healing by using the addi-

tional integrative modalities to help prevent chronic illnesses now and in years to come,” explains family physician Madiha Saeed, of Naperville, Illinois, author of The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease. The multipronged integrative approach is supported by studies that link poor gastrointestinal health to childhood diseases, notes Lambert. Italian researchers found a greater prevalence of “bad” gut bacteria in autistic children. In New Zealand, it was shown that those with ADHD have gut bacteria that reduces dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain’s reward center. At EpidemicAnswers.org, medical professionals and parents have created a comprehensive database of resources, studies, strategies and health coaches to help realize a child’s full potential. It plans to follow 14 children with chronic conditions through 18 months of healing and recovery therapeutic services to be documented in a film titled Canary Kids. “We want to show parents that there’s hope—because then they can take the next step and move forward,” says Lambert.

Farewell to a Beloved Pet Earth’s Memorial to a Pet’s Passing

by Sandra Murphy

he American Pet Products Association estimates Americans collectively spent $69.5 million on our 235 million mammal, avian and reptile pets, as well as 158 million pet fish, in 2017. It’s not surprising that end-of-life planning for a devoted family companion is a solemn endeavor. Burial in a box or blanket in the backyard used to be the predominant way to deal with pet remains. As people and pet populations have grown, many municipalities now have ordinances against the practice. Instead, good options exist that protect and preserve the planet these animals so enjoyed.

Innovative Containers

Kay Winters, a blogger at PawsAndPines.com, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, mothers a dog, Clover, and two cats, Chuckie and Mittens. “When they pass away, I plan to bury them in biodegradable mushroom bags,” she says. “It has mushroom and other organisms infused into it to help with natural decomposition, cleanse any environmental toxins in the body and nourish the nearby soil.” Another biodegradable container is a pod that contains nutrientrich soil, a seed and the pet’s ashes to nourish the resulting plant, tree or shrub. It’s a lovely way to remember the pet and replenish Earth’s greenspace.

Aquamation or Cremation

Veterinary offices commonly arrange for the pet’s body to be sent to a crematorium, with ashes returned several days later. Using temperatures from 1,400 to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, these facilities impose a larger carbon footprint than other options. At-home euthanasia may be beneficial for terminal pets. The animal can remain calm in familiar surroundings with family present. The veterinarian allows time for goodbyes, and when the family 46

is ready, removes the body. “We always place the pets on nice stretchers with a blanket over the body and encourage the family to place toys or flowers with their pet. There’s no handing out brochures with photos of urns or upselling. It’s respectful of the pet’s life,” says Veterinarian Mary Gardner, of Yorba Linda, California, co-founder and chief technology officer at Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, a national network of veterinarians dedicated to end-of-life care. Gardner is also building an aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) facility in Boynton Beach, Florida. This alternative to cremation has a far smaller environmental impact because the resulting alkaline water is safe to drain, containing no chemicals or DNA. Elizabeth Fournier, author of The Green Burial Guidebook, owns and operates Cornerstone Funeral Services and Cremation, in Boring, Oregon, where she periodically receives inquiries about pets. “I’ve received calls over the years for horses, donkeys, sheep

and dogs. One family called me for their alpaca. I explained my funeral home was a human-only funeral parlor, but I’d be more than happy to help with a referral,” Fournier says. She offered a choice of flame or water. “They liked the water method because Spunky the Alpaca loved the rain and could drink more water than most of her pasture mates,” she says. The family let all the other animals at home come by to give Spunky a sniff and a goodbye, and then took her body for biocremation. “They took her ashes home in a ceramic pig cookie jar,” says Fournier. “It’s my favorite story.” “The zero-emission aquamation process creates one-tenth the carbon footprint of traditional, flame-based cremation and enables 20 percent more ashes to be returned to the family, allowing for a lasting contribution to be made to the Earth in honor of a beloved pet,” says Christie Cornelius, the founding doctor of veterinary medicine at Last Wishes

Compassionate Comfort Care for Pets, in Houston, Texas. Eternal Reefs, Inc., in Sarasota, Florida, mixes environmentally friendly concrete with cremains to form a gigantic reef ball, which is then placed on the ocean floor to replenish naturally diminishing reef systems and provide a permanent underwater memorial. Originally designed for human use, some owners have asked for pets to be included. To reduce costs, families are encouraged to hold their pet’s cremated remains for the appropriate time when they are memorializing a human loved one. Recorded GPS coordinates facilitate future visits to the area. Whether using earth, fire or water, there are many ways to honor a pet’s lifelong devotion and lessen its final carbon footprint to protect Earth’s natural health and beauty.

Sleep and Herbal Preparations By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP dist.

ot getting enough sleep can be hazardous to your health. Without enough sleep we can get sicker quicker. You probably got enough sleep as an infant and growing child, but gradually, as you aged, you lost touch with proper, nourishing, recharging sleep. What happened? When you were a child, you probably naturally surrendered to sleep when you were sufficiently tired. It was a combination of balancing energy needs, burning up your calories as a kid, and recharging and replenishing with calories (hopefully a good diet) and proper sleep. If your life was fairly secure you could rest with minimal or no worries. So, already, we are observing that there are several factors that are necessary in varying degrees for sleep. These include balanced daytime activities and exercise, proper food in proper amounts, a healthy environment, positive attitudes and behavioral coping skills. As we age and grow into the adult world, multiple stressors (changes) come into play, and we choose to react in many ways. Work, environment, family responsibilities, money, relationships, poor diet, poor outdoor or exercise time, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all take their toll on our health, wellbeing, and sleep patterns. Good quality and quantity of sleep become more and more illusive. As much as behavioral patterns are in our control is as much as they are our responsibility. Behavioral patterns that are in our control can be changed by us, with will, attention, time and energy. Thus, the answers to most of our health and behavior patterns lie within us and are our choice. Thus, it comes as a minor enlightenment for many people to really know and understand that they are in control of either their stressors or their attitudes toward their stressors.

Palm Beach Edition

Sleep is something individual and there are no hard rules about it. The traditional “eight hours” seems to be a rough average for most adults, give or take a little. Attitude and ability to mentally and physically relax have a large part to play in our quantity and quality of sleep. There are many things to do which can help (or hinder) our quality sleep time. Obviously, avoiding stimulants, such as caffeine, before sleep helps, as does doing something relaxing before sleep time, such as reading a good book. TV may not always be the best idea, depending on what you watch, as all those images can come back to haunt you in your dreams. Meditation is a wonderful idea, physically, mentally and spiritually. I meditate day and night, and find that the more I meditate, the less I sleep. There are a number of prescription drugs, and alternative remedies for sleep. The prescription drugs for sleep tend to be addicting and shouldn’t be used on a long-term basis. Included here are listed a number of herbal preparations that might help with sleep. As always, consulting the appropriate health-care practitioner first may be a good first step.

QIGONG HEALING

How to Reverse Disease Naturally ~An Interview with Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack (Part 1 of 2)

This interview was conducted by Michelene Bell, publisher of “In Light Times Magazine”.

Qigong noticeably improves blood circulation, digestion etc. A pleasant heat builds in the navel center bringing a quiet confidence and power within.

MB: Is this life force or Qi different in each person?

MB: What benefits does Qi provide and HOW does it accomplish healing? JP: Say you’re a battery… and the Qi is the life force that keeps the battery going. When the juice inside is used up… the battery is lifeless. Qi is related to your lifespan. If people squander energy on arguing and negative pattern behavior than how can anyone increase energy? Qigong understands where people lose their energy and how to get it back. Yet, Qi has profoundly physical effects that unlock our potential. 5000 Years Ago Chinese Medicine said, “Qi Moves the Blood.” Standing still relaxed in a Qigong posture a person can circulate as much blood as they could running for 3 miles!! Jogging releases a flood of Cortisol and negative stress hormones that close off small capillaries, but Qigong does not. There is no stress response from Qigong (it actually reduces Cortisol in studies) and the level of full body circulation 50

JP: The Qi is one unified force. Some people have more than others. On an extreme example, say a person has enough energy that they don’t need to sleep anymore. This is a very high level of Qigong. Most people need six hours of sleep, thus indicating our limited energy situation. Qi can be replenished by using breathing techniques, meditation, fasting, prayer, sun bathing etc. It is the same spirit or qi that moves through each person.

The PULSE of your heartbeat is the foundation of life, but Chinese medicine has a dozen different pulses that Western medicine has not yet discovered. When people do Qigong for the first time they are often surprised to see their fingers pulsate and fill up with blood. The warmth people feel in the navel is also from the increased blood flow.

Only if it is blocked can there be too much energy. When spine and nervous system are out of alignment it is important to open meridians and do stretching routines.

ultimate ally to rise above life’s obstacles. Once you get the hang of the breathing techniques there comes the ability to have a natural high anytime. Sometimes euphoria is so profound that it can erase negative emotional patterns presently going on. The ability to drop bad Qi quickly trains the student to be without heavy emotional vibrations.

ILT: Jeff, give us a brief overview of the Qi Revolution seminar. JP: People generate energy in graceful qigong routines. The entire audience feels a profound electro-magnetic QI energy in their hands. In addition to movements, Spine-tingling breathing techniques are employed, yoga, food-healing principles from naturopathic medicine and an extraordinary healing-breath-prayer circle. The seminar gives the ultimate “activation” to one’s internal energy. Once the candle has been lit (metaphor for overflowing the Dan Tien), it is easy to maintain its radiance. Simply practice Qigong. All ages and fitness levels can participate. (Part 2 of the interview appears next month)

“Qi Revolution” comes to Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center December 1st - 3rd Jeff Primack and 10 Instructors will teach 3-days of Amazing Qigong for $149. To reserve tickets and for more info: (800)-298-8970 www.QiRevolution.com

The Silent Killers in Your Mouth

by Dr. Yolanda Cintron

very year for my birthday in September, I take a break to refresh, “resharpen my saw” and reflect, getting ready for our October mission trip to the dental clinic in Egbe, Nigeria, (EgbeHospital.org) and give thanks to our Lord for His mercies and ask Him for guidance and healing for others. I want to do it differently and make a difference, in a world full of noise and pollution, bringing HOPE. We see so many patients young and old whose lives are in critical condition. How did they get this sick? When I examine their mouths and we look at the intraoral photos, in horror they can’t believe their eyes. This is where your digestion starts! It got this bad because they felt no pain. We just c ame b a ck f rom t he International Organization for Oral Medicine and Toxicology annual meeting in Stowe, Vermont, where great scientific minds exchanged new biological protocols, finding root causes for diseases and how to eradicate toxicity from our aging bodies. Reducing inflammation and oxidative stressors were the topics for all days. Like an apple turns brown when the oxygen hits it, we age when we get oxidized. Finally, taking liposomal Vitamin C, glutathione and other natural antioxidants and getting intravenous Vitamin C among other vitamins and antioxidants has entered mainstream medicine for maintenance of health, rejuvenation and cure of degenerative diseases and cancers… for a fraction of the cost. We all have to be open minded to change. A prescription is not a cure for disease; it only treats symptoms. Let’s find a solution to the problem. My favorite speaker was Dr. Thomas

Levy. I had just read his book, Hidden Epidemic, Silent Oral Infections Cause Most Heart Attacks and Breast Cancers. He says that most people never feel pain until it is too late. As a cardiologist and attorney, he learned all this information not in medical school but working and researching for eight years with his mentor, Dr. Hal Huggins. He witnessed and documented in shock how terminally sick patients had their dental revisions done and then experienced clinical and laboratory improvements only after a few weeks of finishing their complete dental work. The revisions included 1. Removal of periodontal infection, gum and bone infection, cavitation, replacement of heavy metals and infected root canal teeth. 2. Lifestyle changes but you can’t jog away from cancer; the toxic loads must be removed first. Dr. Levy concluded with irrefutable scientific evidence that the “demonstrable link” to most chronic degenerative diseases was oral infection, nearly always the cause of heart attacks (after biopsies on the patients who suffered heart attacks); the same pathogens with their associated toxins chronically increased oxidative stress seen in all kinds of cancers and indifferent organs like pancreas, colon, lung, breasts. He found the breast tissue of breast cancer patients had great concentrations of microbes like fusobacterium which are a significant pathogen in periodontal disease. We have the same experience with our patients. When we do DNA biopsies of the infected gums or root canal teeth that we extract, we find the bacteriological reports are packed with microorganisms at dangerous, severe toxicity levels and a direct correlation not only to the meridian and the organ but the severity

of infection draining into the lymphatics going down into the organs. Dr. Levy explained that the steady suffusion of oral pathogens and their related toxins keeping much of the breast tissue in continued states of oxidative stress impairs cellular function and the immune system is not able to keep cleaning the overwhelming amount of attacks. Today I reviewed another DNA biopsy on a female patient in her 40’s diagnosed with breast cancer. Dental diagnosis was: Periodontal disease and infected root canal teeth. Her results were in RED letters FUSOBACTERIUM at severe risk levels. We celebrated that we removed them and she is on her way to wellness. I, like Dr. Levy and many other physicians at the conference, have seen great results with nontoxic treatments. I recommend high doses of Vitamin C intravenously before, during and after treatment. Let us help you. For more information on these subjects and/or a complete dental revision, call 954-938-4599, email Info@DrCintron.com or visit GoNaturalDentistry.com.
