Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha World-Renowned Master Healer & Divine Channel

I Died and Lived To Tell About It’ lecture to benefit Healing Touch Buddies Near-death-experience expert MellenThomas Benedict will enthrall audience at May 4 event

uthor, inventor and researcher MellenThomas Benedict’s brush with the afterworld more than 30 years ago will be the focus of a day-long seminar at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. On May 4, Benedict will present “I Died and Lived To Tell About It” – an inspirational lecture-and-lunch event that will include such sessions as “Living at the Speed of Light” and “Spirit of Gaia.” The healthtechnology consultant and mind-and-body scholar will discuss advances in anti-aging phototherapy and quantum biology during “Living at the Speed of Light” while delivering a dynamic multimedia presentation touching on collective intelligence, metaphysics and starseed destiny during “Spirit of Gaia.” “The first time I heard Mellen’s story, my life was changed forever,” said Lindsay Babich, board chairwoman of Healing Touch Buddies, the local nonprofit organizing the lecture. “I understood how important a positive attitude is to my very existence and the future of our planet.” Proceeds from the fascinating fundraiser support the nonprofit’s volunteer certified energy therapists who provide care and comfort to breast-cancer patients. “In this, our 10th year, I have come to understand the value of what we do,” said Betty Ann Baker, Healing Touch Buddies’ co-founder and executive director. “This is our way of bringing peace and compassion to the world. Although it can be a challenge to hold an expansive, positive view in the midst of pain and suffering, we see and experience, looking deeply both inward and outward, endless richness to the mystery of our life and beyond.” In 1982, following a terminal braincancer diagnosis, Benedict lost all vital signs for 90 minutes and is believed to have died. When he awoke, not only was his disease in remission, but he also was able to recall the journey he took to the other

side. The near-death experience revealed to him Earth’s past and future, the soul’s connection to the planet (Gaia) and mankind’s role in the universe. In the bestselling book Life After Death, Deepak Chopra called Benedict’s experience the “Encyclopedia of the After Life.” The sessions run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m., with vendor sales and lunch in between. Tickets cost $50 for the entire event, or $30 for either the morning or afternoon talks. VIP tickets, which include a wine reception from 4:45 to 6 p.m. and a DVD, cost $125. Funds raised will enable Healing Touch Buddies to train new therapists in method, support and care. Therapists are required to undergo a minimum of intermediate training in healing touch or Reiki, or energy-medicine instruction at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, prior to entering the breast-cancerspecific Healing Touch Buddies program. Today, close to 100 volunteers serve women in Martin, Palm Beach and Broward counties, and their hours annually amount to more than $100,000 in in-kind services. Healing Touch Buddies is endorsed by the South Florida chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach. Ongoing campaigns include “A Gift for Mom,” to honor the memory of a mother, grandmother, sister or friend; “Train a Volunteer,” to generate scholarship money; “Raise the Light,” through which lanterns are purchased to represent the flame of care and compassion; and “The Naomi Thomas Endowment Foundation,” named after a former client.

newsbriefs BEAT THE BLAHS : How Resonance Repatterning Lifts Depression

ere’s a startling statistic: Did you know the World Health Organization predicts that by 2020 the leading disability in women worldwide will be depression? It’s not surprising then that 2 of the top 7 best-selling drugs worldwide target anxiety and depression, even though the disability continues to grow. You probably know someone who suffers from the pain and hopelessness of depression. Maybe you do too- So you know what it’s like to lose interest in life and the things you once cared about. Or how it feels to live with stress, anxiety and blahs so bad you don’t want to get up in the morning. 3 ESSENTIAL STEPS What can you do about it? Since I came across these statistics several years ago, I’ve been helping people lift depression by using the tools and techniques of Resonance Repatterning®, a form of Mind/ Body/Energy Medicine. I know that depression can be hard to lift, but I’ve discovered 3 essential steps to get underneath the problem. Let’s call these steps Name, Claim and Tame.

1. Name the problem. Most people get stuck right here at Step 1, spinning round and round in the same old thoughts, because they don’t know what the real problem is. The problem is not present day depression or anxiety; the problem is a much older pattern of unmet needs, of abuse or neglect, that may go back generations and remains embedded in your DNA. How to find the pattern? I use subtle energy Kinesiology to get to the source, because all these patterns are still lurking in your energy field and your wiser self can tell us what and where they are. 2. Claim the problem. Bring the true story up to the light of day and own all the ways you’ve been complicit in keeping depression alive. What role have you been playing that no longer serves you? How have you given up your power? I believe depression is a sign from your soul that something new wants to come alive. What have you been doing or not doing that ignores these messages from your heart and soul? 3. Tame the problem. This is where energy or mind/body medicine is so helpful, because the best way to lift depression is to change the energy around the core problem. And the best tool for change: Sounds targeted like a laser beam (specific music, toning, singing bowls, Quantum Healing Codes) are one of the most effective ways to change the density of hidden and hardened patterns. Then let the sound lead to gentle liberating movement so old neural pathways are bathed in fresh energy and DNA strands gently open. PRECIOUS JOY To create a bright future, find the right image of something new that inspires you. Doing good for yourself is a first step. But what really makes a difference is claiming your talents to do good for others, not from avoidance or codependence but from a place of healing strength. Under a microscope, this new way of being lights up your cells and literally creates “happy genes!” Coming out of depression into this new place is one of life’s sweetest experiences. I know, because I’ve been there. And the feeling of pure happiness that comes once the old patterns are released and new ones align with soul…well, now I know what precious joy is all about! That’s why I can hold this possibility of change for you too! Gail Glanville is the owner of Change Bistro LLC, a holistic CAM healthcare service dedicated to nourishing core health and happiness. In nearly 20 years of private practice, she has helped hundreds of women (men too) lift depression, heal relationships, end emotional eating and overcome karmic/generational limitations. She is a certified practitioner of Resonance Repatterning®, a comprehensive form of CAM that combines Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology and Energy Kinesiology. Her Change Bistro books and trainings are used around the world by CAM practitioners to expand their practices, and by lay people who are committed to nourishing their own whole and healthy levels of inner achievement. Gail has recently moved from New England to Delray Beach, FL. She provides her books and sessions by phone and Internet. www.ChangeBistro.com www.LiftDepressionNow.com 561 865 5227

newsbriefs THE CONNECTION BETWEEN GOING GREEN AND THE BRAIN

e Go Green to make our homes healthier and safer and to protect the environment. But did you know that Going Green is also good for the health of your brain? Discovering the toxins in our homes 25 years ago I cleaned with a popular pinescented cleaning product. I loved the way it smelled and my home felt clean. When my soon-to-be husband walked into my apartment and said “I can’t stand that smell,” I just brushed it off and said this is the way I clean and I am not going to change! We got married a year later and moved into our first home. It had a gas leak in two places that pushed my immune system into “hyper-reactive.” I became allergic to everything—in my home and outside in the environment. The physician called it “multiple chemical sensitivities.” I was diagnosed a “universal reactor,” developed asthma and struggled to breathe. I was a new bride but my life stopped. I was on medications but nothing was working, and I was getting sicker. Enrolled in a clinic for the chemically sensitive in 1989, I began to learn about the chemicals in our household cleaning solutions, in our foods and our water. I was forced to clean up my environment. All the beautiful smells in the products I loved were killing me – cleaning products, fabric softeners, even my perfume. By the time we went through all the closets, the garage and under the sinks, we had five huge garbage bags filled with “toxic” chemicals that I regularly used to clean my home and make it smell good. Brain Allergies At the clinic I not only learned about the toxins in the household cleaning goods, but I noticed many of the people there were reacting to their foods, and environment with similar symptoms including brain fog, confusion, inability to concentrate or retrieve thoughts, inability to sleep, anger, irritability, inability to speak, to name a few. The physicians called these “brain allergies” because their target organ was the brain.

I didn’t have the brain fog but instead my sensitivities attacked the respiratory, and I was debilitated by a horrible cough that could last three hours straight. By this time I had lost my senses of smell and taste, so I had absolutely had NO clue what was causing my reaction. I had to become my own detective to find the triggers that were making me sick. A Daily Dose of Neurotoxins We are being exposed to many neurotoxins on a daily basis. Neurotoxins, by definition are substances that damage the nervous system and/or brain tissue. In the workplace, carpets, desks, chairs, copiers, paints, glues and particle board in cabinets and desks off- gas formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals, which in small amounts can affect the brain and other major organs. As energy conservation has sealed our workplaces tight with inoperable windows trapping these toxic substances in the air, many workers have developed “sick building syndrome” due to breathing these poisons throughout the workday. Our homes also contain toxins. Laundry detergents and air and fabric fresheners are designed to smell good, but these pleasant odors may be making you sick. Anything with a scent – disinfectants, air fresheners, deodorizers, shampoos, hair sprays, gels, lotions, sunscreens, soaps, perfumes, powders, and scented candles – are a class of chemicals you would do well to avoid. Antibacterial soaps not only kill germs, but promote the growth of resis-

tant bacteria and research reports it may also disrupt thyroid function. Vinyl, called “poison plastic,” contains a chemical that has been linked to hormone disruption, stunted growth, obesity, and other health problems, as well as low IQ. Fire retardants, in our clothing and furniture, have been demonstrated to cause a whole host of neurological damage, including deficits in learning, memory and motor skills. Synthetic pesticides that we apply to rid our homes of common pests are also highly toxic to our brains. Go Green, Save Your Brain It’s good to clean up our home environments before we develop any health issues from chemical sensitivities. However, for those living with symptoms, you can restore yourself to feeling good. Educate yourself on what to put in and around your environment. The internet and books like The Healthy Home can inform you of safer products and practices to use in your home. Make it simple. Clean with vinegar and water. Use organic essential oils like lavender, orange, and vanilla to bring in a safe smell if you are looking for a fragrance in your home. Eliminate fabric softener. Don’t use synthetic pesticides in your home. I am not an environmental specialist. I’m an ordinary person just like you, but after chemical exposure early in my life I was forced to choose to live a more simple and clean-air life. Because of that I’m living healthier- and leaving fewer “footprints” on our precious Mother Earth. About Carolyn: Carolyn Cohen has a Masters in Counseling and Masters in Medical Science.

newsbriefs NEW PROFESSION PROMISES COMFORT FOR MILLIONS: Professional Cuddlers Answer Human Need for Safe, Non-Sexual Physical Touch

onging for some positive human touch? While cuddle parties may not your thing, safe snuggles in the comfort of your own home (or at the beach, the park or the movies) may be. If so, consider hiring a professional cuddler. While it might sound, well, a little strange to cuddle with a perfect stranger for an hour or even overnight, professionals from New York to San Francisco and places in between are taking cuddling and its benefits seriously. Portland-based professional cuddler Samantha Hess, recently featured on the CBS television program Sunday Morning, says: “When we experience touch, it gives us physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It lets us know that everything is alright. Touch has the power to comfort us when we are sad, heal us when we are sick, encourage us when we feel lost, and above all else, allow us to accept that we are not alone.” Hess’ soon-to-be-released book Touch: The Power of Human Connection illustrates 19 positions designed to bring you closer to the people you value and achieve true fulfillment. More importantly, Touch reveals the science behind cuddling and why it is such a fundamental need. As

Hess affirms, “For one reason or another, many of us do not get the level of human contact that we want or need in order to be our optimal selves.” Hess is only one among a growing industry of “hug therapists” sprouting up nationwide who know the benefits of an intimate—though strictly platonic—snuggle. This should prove to be very good news for the nearly 102 million single adult Americans (53% women, 47% men)—a whopping one-third of the population— who are likely not getting the touch that they want or need. Some studies seem to confirm this trend. Pioneering psychologist Sydney Jourard from the University of Florida, Gainesville studied the conversa-

tion of friends and the number of touches exchanged over the same period of time as they sat in a café together. The cultural differences were astonishing: friends in England registered zero touches, friend in the U.S. registered two, while companions in France and Puerto Rico registered 110 and 180 touches respectively. Hmmm… could we be on to something? In fact, the health benefits of touch are significant. Touch signals safety and trust, it soothes; basic touch calms cardiovascular stress and activates the body’s vagus nerve, intimately involved with our compassionate response. A simple touch can trigger release of oxytocin (a.k.a. the “love hormone”), improve your health, boost your personal energy, strengthen your relationships, satisfy your partner and help us approach life with confidence.

“Life feeds life, matter feeds matter, spirit feeds spirit. Life feeds matter, matter feeds life and spirit feeds both matter and life”

Living Miraculously- Green Spirituality

here is no denying that the hippie movement of the 60’s left an indelible mark on our culture and many of the precepts shared by that generation continue to grow and flourish. One is our awareness and connection to all things. When the hippies spoke of this connection, they recognized it included our beloved mother earth. As time went on and the concern over global warning became more of a political/social issue, the spiritual essence of this debate seemed to be severed. Talks of climate change were being exchanged by politicians, activists and scientists and were based on cold hard facts and scientific analysis. That debate rages on and many of us are in fear for our planet and the dire warnings of impending doom. The thing is, we are “our planet.” We are all one living breathing organism and we must acknowledge the spirituality of our existence and this immensely important facet when discussing ways of solving the challenge of global warming. Peter Calhoun is an Episcopal priest turned Shaman and the author of “Soul on Fire.” This is what he has to say about our connection to Mother earth:

“We have the false belief that the earth belongs to us to divide and parcel up. The earth doesn’t belong to us… we belong to the earth. The Native Americans knew this.(*) The false belief systems that we’ve been given have caused us to look at life in a very limited way and the key to freedom, is knowing that you have been given these false beliefs. If you perceive the world as an inanimate object and something impersonal- that’s what you will experience. If you perceive it as a magical place ….a divine being whom you love and have oneness- then that’s what you’ll experience. So if we are bound and determined to “Get it” … with our minds… we are on a wild goose chase. We need to get it with our heart, we need to feel it.” Saint Francis of Assisi, an example of an ecologically aware Christian, wrote with deep love and affection about our communion with the natural world: “Praised be You, my Lord, with all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun.... Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the Stars....Praised be You, My Lord through Sister Water...through Brother Fire...through our Sister Mother Earth...”

From the standpoint of practicality, I can talk about all the ways in which we can contribute to the physical healing of our planet. However, most of you who are reading this wonderful magazine are likely already aware of its importance. The question is, what would green spirituality look like? I will end this article with a brief Q&A excerpted from an article published in Andrew Cohen’s Evolutionary Enlightenment, (read the entire article- wonderful!) and from an EnlightenNext interview between Ross Robertson and UK-native Hardin Tibbs, British sustainability strategist. EN: “I must say, I love the name you just coined for yourself. As an eco-spiritual futurist, how would you describe your mission statement? If you had a manifesto, what would it say?” HT: “Well, that’s a wonderful question. I guess, off the top of my head, it would be a profoundly creative orientation towards the future—one that is motivated by hope and optimism, not by fear. One that looks for a better future for humanity on a healthy planet, that acknowledges spirit, and that uses all of our knowledge and abilities to, in a sense, take the next step in a deeper kind of evolution.” He goes on to say: Can we, in the face of blistering change, continue to have faith that this is not the end of the world but the beginning of a new one? Trying to control the planet is like trying to lasso the wind. As I always say, “the way in is the way out.” With spiritual guidance, we can rid ourselves of the illusion that we and the earth are separate. From this understanding, we are now able to live in harmony with each other, and with the earth.

newsbriefs New Hope For Migraine Sufferers

f you have ever suffered from migraines, then you know just how debilitating they can be. Besides the intense pain they cause, migraines will interfere with every aspect of your life. And many don’t realize that 80% of chronic migraine sufferers will have a stroke at some point in their life. Unfortunately, up until this point there hasn’t been much help or relief from the condition. The current treatment includes pain medication, anti-depressants, and now botox injections. While these methods may reduce the suffering of the patient, they are only temporary and do not get to the real cause of the migraines. However, with new research from both the medical and chiropractic community, hope may finally be here for long time sufferers. Dr. Scott Rosa, an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, has been conducting research with Dr. Raymond Damadian, medical doctor and inventor of the MRI, and what they have discovered is simply amazing. By using upright MRI’s, and CSF studies, they two believe they have found one of the major causes of migraine headaches. Everyday your brain is making about 500 cc’s of spinal fluid that acts kind of like the blood for the brain and spinal cord. Once this fluid is made in the brain, it is transferred out of the skull, down the spinal cord, all the way down your spine, where it finally gets pumped back up to the brain. This fluid is very important as it delivers essential nutrients to your central nervous system. Dr. Rosa’s research is showing that when someone is involved with a head-neck injury, such as a whiplash, the top vertebra of the neck, called the Atlas, or C1, will twist out of alignment. When this happens, due to its attachments to the brain, it will literally pull the cerebellum partially through the skull. The spinal fluid will then not be able to escape the brain, resulting in a backflow of spinal fluid. This backflow will cause swelling and will eventually crush the small blood vessels of the brain, resulting in a migraine headache. Dr. Rosa and Dr. Damadian have provided studies with images to show how the upper neck misalignment is affecting the flow of spinal fluid as well as blood flow. What is more impressive is that Dr. Rosa has also provided images after adjusting the upper neck that shows a complete reversal of the condition. Dr. Damadian has even stated publically that adjusting the atlas (C1) is a missing link in health care. While chiropractors have always had great success with migraine sufferers, this new research can pinpoint the exact reason why. The upper cervical spine (upper neck) is one of the most complicated areas in the entire body. While almost all chiropractors adjust the upper neck, there are a group of chiropractors who specialize in adjusting the atlas and are commonly known as “Upper Cervical Chiropractors.” Typically, when an upper cervical chiropractor adjusts your neck, there is no twisting, popping, or turning of the neck. They use advanced imaging to assure a specific adjustment that will hold in place. It is a very gentle and safe procedure that has changed many lives. Dr. Kevin Davine is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor that practices in Boynton Beach, FL. For any additional questions or comments please contact Dr. Davine at 561-408-9099, or by email at PureLifeBoynton@Gmail.com

newsbriefs Reclaim Your Natural, Positive State of Being

magine yourself lying face-up on a cushy, comfortable massage table in a dimly lit room, snuggled under a soft, light cotton flannel cover. Soft music is playing. Fresh smelling orange and cinnamon essential oils are diffused throughout the room. A fragrant lavender-scented covering is gently placed on your eyes. You feel the texture of wet, hot washcloths, filled with lemon and mint oils, being rubbed on your feet. Your feet are pressed and squeezed with a delicious smelling vanilla-based cream combined with lemongrass, soothing the nearly 15,000 nerves in your feet. Specific pressure points and reflex areas are stimulated. This is what heaven must be like! Afterward you feel calm, centered, energized and ready to enjoy a creative, productive day. Reflexology is a science and an art based on the principle that there are reflex areas and specific points on the feet (as well as on the hands, face and ears) that correspond to each organ, gland and part of the body. Skillful application of specific thumb, finger and hand techniques to these areas assist in balancing the body’s systems. As a modern holistic approach to wellness, reflexology works with life force energy and its ability to return us to health. A skilled reflexologist encourages your body to express its natural healing vitality. Reflexology has the unique capacity to do this in a way that is both nurturing and profound. Aromatherapy uses botanical essences (commonly known as essential oils), from flowers, herbs, trees and resins. These essences have been selected for their capacity to activate healing responses, and their scents have therapeutic properties as well. Because botanical essences are organic they work in harmony with the body. For example, essential oils are known to suppress infection in a similar way to antibiotics, without the side effects. Combining the benefits of aromatherapy with the reflexology’s restorative capacity provides a powerful matrix for healing on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. In my practice, a selected oil or blend of oils is often diffused in the room. The selection is based on my client’s specific physical condition or challenge, as well as on their emotional and mental state.

Clients often tell me they feel more calm and relaxed just from the scent, even before I touch their feet. When freshening the feet, I use warm washcloths that have been steeped in hot water infused with specific oils that cleanse and promote tranquility (these can include Eucalyptus, Tee Tree, Lemon, Lavender and Geranium). I use several blends that work to restore balance in different ways. Some tone (gently strengthen) the body’s systems, some focus on de-stressing and relaxation, others on stimulating and revitalizing. “I love how Laura uses aromatherapy in our sessions.” says Angela Martelli, a regular client. “In addition to the health benefits, I feel so nurtured and supported.” In my Holistic Reflexology training program I emphasize the various ways a reflexologist can support and enhance the healing process. These complementary skills include essential oils, visualization and positive thinking and speaking. Randy Geller, massage therapist and recent graduate of Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology training noted, “Using Laura’s unique combi-

nation of aromatherapy with reflexology creates powerful outcomes for my clients, friends, and family.” Experience Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology, and reclaim your natural, positive state of being, by scheduling a private session.

YogaFox School of Yoga in Delray Beach

ave you ever thought of doing a teacher training? Well it is definitely a great way to connect to yourself and change your personal practice for the rest of your life regardless of whether or not you end up teaching group classes. Delving into Yogic studies can help you get in touch with so many aspects of “Yoga” that you didn’t even know existed. The YogaFox School of Yoga is run by Directors Keith Fox and Kelly Brookbank – both ERYT-500 instructors with over 15-20 years of experience in yoga instruction. The 200 hour Program is a diverse and well rounded curriculum bringing a very balanced presentation of all 8 limbs of yoga as well as a unique presentation of both Keith and Kelly’s backgrounds of study – including Ashtanga and Vinyasa as well as Kripalu Yoga. Further, the studies also include Nada Yoga and Bhakti Yoga – the Yogas of Sound and Devotion. The 7 month program is one long weekend per month with homework in between ensuring the participants not only learn how to instruct a safe beginner vinyasa class but also learn about pranayama (breath work), meditation, philosophy, and most importantly how anatomy knowledge can help in safely instructing and also practicing yoga for the rest of one’s life! The length of the program allows students with jobs and busy lives to fully participate, immerse, and retain over time. This program is different than most as it touches on 2 very different approaches to yoga – one traditionally “physical” and one traditionally “introspective”. In doing so it reaches out to many different unique Yogis and Yoginis of all ages and backgrounds. The next program begins May 2014. Payment plans are available and a retreat to Costa Rica is an optional part of the training. Call Keith at 561.703.1236 or Kelly at 704.756.9245 for details. www.yogafox.com.

newsbriefs Grassroots Initiative Tackles New Childhood Epidemics

besity and diabetes, autism and neurodevelopmental delays, digestive and allergic diseases: all these chronic illnesses were rare a generation ago, but today they are impacting our children in epidemic numbers. “Paradoxically, the most affluent, medically advanced societies in the modern world also have the highest rates of chronic childhood illness,” says Beth Lambert, founder and director of Epidemic Answers, a nonprofit educational organization based in West Simsbury, Conn. “Our children are the canaries in the coal mine of national health. It’s critical that we take action now.” That sense of urgency is behind the nonprofit’s innovative Canary Kids Project, which this year will follow the journeys of 14 American children as a medically-led team uses integrative therapies to help them heal from chronic illness, including autism, ADHD, asthma, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, mood disorders, obesity/type II diabetes and atopic disease/eczema. “There is much anecdotal evidence indicating that individuals with chronic conditions, even autism, can fully recover,” Lambert says. “This project will use rigorous scientific methodology to test and explore the underpinnings of these anecdotal successes.” The project will be documented in a full-length film, Canary Kids, spreading the message that recovery is possible.

Dr. Farmer will be speaking on: EXPLORING SHAMANISM Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that has existed in some form for at least 40,000 years, evidence of which has been found on every continent. Through the use of drumming, rattling, dancing, singing, or a combination of these, the shaman enters into an altered state of consciousness that allows him to travel to the spirit world of non-ordinary reality (NOR). There he seeks guidance from his helping spirits for healing others and relieving suffering. In this workshop you’ll learn what shamanism is, its practices, and how to apply its concepts to you daily life and spiritual belief system. You’ll learn how shamanic healing works, as well as learn how to do the basic shamanic journey and discover your main animal spirit guide, your power animal, by journeying to the NOR. Dr. Farmer will be offering: EARTH MAGIC® HEALING SESSIONS Dr. Farmer brings a unique psycho-spiritual approach to healing in these private consultations, one that incorporates both psychological and spiritual methodologies in a unique blend that is tailored to your particular needs. The session will typically begin with a brief conversation to identify what you’re seeking while simultaneously giving you and Dr. Farmer an opportunity to achieve vibrational alignment. It will often be followed by an Earth Magic® reading using any of his oracle cards to further elaborate on what is needed. As a Master Healer, he brings his many years of experience as a Psychotherapist, Soul Healer, Shamanic Practitioner, and Trauma Recovery Specialist into service on your behalf.

QIGONG TEACHINGS ON FITNESS AND FOOD Reaching Your Highest Energetic Potential in One Lifetime (Part 1 of 2) by Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack

igong is the art of harnessing qi (life force or vital energy) which directly affects blood flow and is an exercise that makes your blood pulse. This pulsing occurs by moving qi using specific breathing techniques along with postures and slow, graceful movements. Qigong also encompasses the use of healing foods, herbs, acupressure, and yogic stretches, all of which energize the body, increase vitality and accelerate metabolism.

Qigong is circulation; the term “blood flow” is synonymous to “moving Qi”. Many studies confirm practicing Qigong reduces drug withdrawal in heroin addicts by 50 percent. Several Qigong instructors we’ve certified are teaching with huge success at Florida drug rehab clinics. Studies also reveal that Qigong boosts the immune system and is beneficial for those fighting cancer. Dr. Oz was quoted as saying that if you want to live to be

100, do Qigong. These techniques originated over 3000 years ago with mountain wanderers, people who were activated by qi. Most acupuncturists are strong believers in Qigong, and some prescribe exercises to their patients for use in between treatments. Qigong is different from yoga primarily because it requires slower, more gracious movements to harness your electromagnetic field. Some Qigong exercises build muscle or speed, but most are a pulsation of qi through the body. Qigong is the “sensation of energy” and is highly tangible. A few advanced systems of yoga, like Kriya Yoga, have striking similarities to Qigong. However, compared to most systems of yoga, Qigong has a much greater emphasis on precise breathing techniques. Qigong deals with smaller movements of the abdomen to circulate qi, and more precise movements of the hands, rooting into the earth and opening up pathways of energy. Yoga works with energy, but to a lesser degree, and although we practice and love yoga, Qigong does what yoga cannot. We train many thousands of yoga teachers and they are always blown away by the tangibility of qi experienced. Within 10 minutes of qi breathing, many feel electricity in their hands. “The Buzz”, as it is called in the Qigong family, is a reaction caused by increased levels of oxygen and ions, which I believe accelerates the vibration of our mitochondria. Many describe the inner buzzing or vibrational feeling as a natural high, and it has the obvious effect of stimulating endorphins. Many people describe “perma-grin” where the gratitude is so overwhelming and the joy so potent that they can’t stop smiling for a short time. One Qigong student taking Xanax bars from his doctor several

times a day to stay functional reported that after the Breath Empowerment he was more relaxed than any time in his life. This man later used his God-given breath and willpower to wean off Xanax and back into his natural state.

Qigong is best in the morning as a practice to extend life and beauty. For days when time is short I recommend cleansing your body with oxygen and energy first thing in the morning. My practice is to wake up, brush my teeth and hair, drink some hot tea outside, and do the 9-Breath Method five times, absorbing/ retaining large amounts of oxygen in my bloodstream. Gentle power breathing awakens the cellular vibration and stimulates metabolism. As I wake up slowly for 10 minutes each morning, my senses become heightened and I watch the birds in my garden. This is a quick and powerful method which we spend hours thoroughly teaching at the Qi Revolution Conference.

Qigong uses food, herbs and mushrooms to reverse many types of illness. A big part of what we teach is how “specific foods REVERSE specific diseases.” Many foods like kiwi have helped hundreds of our Qigong students reverse asthma. Our food protocols laid out in the book Conquering Any Disease have been tested with tens of thousands of real live people all over the country. I have seen dozens of people with cancer reverse it within a few months following strict dietary and Qigong practice guidelines. Adding the avocado seed to a delicious fruit and vegetable smoothie is a great way to maximize your phytochemical intake along with blending the seeds and skins of the apple. Sunlight, breathing techniques and high vibration foods are God’s natural medicine. Jeff Primack has studied with many Qigong masters from all over the world and has trained 50,000 people in live Qigong seminars since 2003. (Part 2 of this article appears next month)

Home Renovations Aggravate Childhood Asthma

ew research suggests that renovation planning should involve more than just picking the right colors and styles; doing it right may help prevent childhood respiratory conditions. Researchers from St. Louis University, in Missouri, linked home renovations with increased wheezing, asthma and chronic coughing among children living in the home. The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, followed 31,049 children between the ages of 2 and 14 years old from seven Chinese cities over a two-year period. Previous research has also reached a similar conclusion, identifying some specific materials responsible for increased childhood respiratory disorders. A Russian study of 5,951 children ages 8 to 12 found that increased asthma and wheezing were related to recently completed painting, as well as the installation of new linoleum flooring, synthetic carpets, particleboard and wall coverings. That study, published in the same journal states, “Exposure levels are the highest during and shortly after painting, but low levels of exposure may remain for several months. Wooden furniture, as well as painted or varnished and new furniture, is likely to emit chemical substances.” A 2002 study of New York children published in the Journal of Urban Health found similar results.

Ventilation and Cleaning Hinder Indoor Pollutants

roperly ventilating and frequently cleaning our homes and offices are both important to our health, concludes a new European study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Health. Researchers analyzed bacterial and fungal counts and suspended particulate matter in indoor air samples of 40 homes and offices. They determined that 45 percent had indoor pollution levels greater than that recommended by the current European Concerted Action Report on air quality standards. An analysis of a Canadian government Health Measures Survey discovered 47 different indoor volatile organic compounds (VOC) among more than half of the 3,857 households surveyed throughout Canada. Most of the VOCs identified there have also been present in separate European and U.S. studies. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), VOCs are carbon chemical compounds that can evaporate under normal indoor atmospheric conditions. The concern with indoor VOCs is their potential to react with indoor ozone to produce harmful byproducts that may be associated with adverse health effects in sensitive populations. Benzene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and xylene top the list of common VOCs inside U.S. households, according to an EPA report. Typical sources comprise common household chemicals, furnishings and décor, as well as indoor activities such as unventilated cooking, heating and smoking.

Orange Oil Calms Kids in Dental Chairs

or centuries, aromatherapy using orange oil has been heralded in traditional herbalism for its ability to alleviate anxiety. Research published in the journal Advanced Biomedical Research now finds that aromatherapy using the same ingredient can significantly reduce a child’s anxiety at the dentist’s office. The study, conducted at Iran’s Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and published in the peer-reviewed journal Advanced Biomedical Research, tested 10 boys and 20 girls between 6 and 9 years old. In this crossover design study, participants were assigned randomly into two groups. Half the children were treated with water instead of any essential oil (control) initially and received orange aroma in the second session (intervention). Another 15 children received treatment under orange aroma in the first encounter (intervention) and were treated without any aroma the second time (control). When the children were given orange oil aromatherapy, they experienced significantly reduced heart rates and lower salivary cortisol levels compared with those not receiving it. The results corroborate findings from a 2000 study from the University of Vienna, in Austria, published in Physiology and Behavior.

Olive Leaf Outperforms Diabetes Drug

live leaf may provide nature’s answer to diabetes treatment. A recent study from the University of Auckland, in New Zealand, suggests that olive leaf extract can help reduce insulin resistance and increase insulin production by beta cells in the pancreas. The researchers tested 46 middle-aged, obese adults at risk for developing metabolic syndrome-related Type 2 diabetes. In the double-blind, placebo-controlled study, olive leaf extract outperformed the diabetes drug metformin and “significantly improved insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell secretory capacity,” according to the researchers. Insulin helps escort glucose into the body’s cells.

Supplements Could Save $70 Billion in Medical Costs

n a Frost & Sullivan study report authored by Christopher Shanahan and Robert de Lorimier, Ph.D., the use of dietary supplements, including B vitamins, phytosterols and dietary fiber, could reduce the cost of treating coronary artery disease in the U.S. by nearly $50 billion over the next seven years. In addition, healthcare costs related to diabetes, vision problems and osteoporosis could be reduced by nearly $20 billion collectively with the use of certain supplements. The projections were based on cost-benefit analysis comparing a series of scenarios to assess the effect on overall disease management costs if an identified high-risk population were to avoid costly medical events by increasing their intake of dietary supplements purchased out-of-pocket versus no supplement usage. “The healthcare system spends a tremendous amount of money treating chronic disease, but has failed to focus on ways to reduce those costs through prevention,” says Steve Mister, president of the Council for Responsible Nutrition Foundation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 3 percent of U.S. healthcare costs are spent on the prevention of chronic diseases.

Air Conditioning Cleans Up Indoor Air

ir conditioning does more than keep us cool. A study of 300 adults and homes concludes that central air conditioning removes significant levels of volatile organic compounds and pollution particulates from indoor air. The research, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, finds that using air conditioning with windows closed reduced indoor air pollution the most. One caveat, however, is that the research was conducted in Taipei, China—notable for its extreme outdoor pollution. Another recent study published in Environmental Science confirms the general premise. A research team in Zhejiang, China, found that air conditioning reduced the presence of potent atmospheric pollutants known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAC) by 23 percent. PACs contain compounds that are carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic (damaging to fetuses).

Tomatoes Prevent and Even Treat Liver Disease

omatoes are widely known for their outstanding antioxidant content, anti-inflammatory and cancerfighting properties, plus benefits to heart health. Now, research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center, at Tufts University, in Boston, Massachusetts, has found that consuming tomatoes—particularly their lycopene content—can also help prevent and even treat both liver disease and cancer of the liver. The researchers combed through 241 studies and scientific papers to connect the dots. They report that lycopene up regulates the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein, meaning it increases the number of receptors on cell surfaces, thereby increasing cellular response to it. SIRT1 activation is recognized to protect against obesity-induced inflammation and degeneration of the liver, explain the study’s authors. Lycopene was found to protect against fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis and the formation of cancer in the liver and lungs. Multiple studies have shown cooked tomatoes and tomato sauce offer increased bioavailability of healthful lycopene.

United Nations Blueprints Sustainability Goals A new publication, Trade and Environment Review: Wake Up Before it is Too Late, from the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development, declares that transformative changes are needed in current food, agriculture and trade systems to increase diversity on farms, reduce use of fertilizer and other inputs, support small-scale farmers and create strong local food systems. Key indicators of needed transformation in agriculture include increased soil carbon content and better integration between crop and livestock production; more incorporation of agroforestry and wild vegetation; reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of livestock production; reduction of GHG through sustainable peatland, forest and grassland management; optimization of organic and inorganic fertilizer use; reduction of waste throughout the food chains; changing dietary patterns toward climate-friendly food consumption; and reform of the international trade regime for food and agriculture. The report includes contributions from more than 60 international experts, including a commentary from the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy. Source: iatp.org

Alice Mills smiles as she looks at the box that sits on her lawn in Hutchinson, Kansas, an act of kindness for neighbors and the community. Inside the box is a miniature library. Books sit on two shelves; the bottom with short stories for children and the top with novels for adults. After her children grew up and moved away from home, they took the books they wanted with them. The rest sat on a bookshelf collecting dust. “If they’re here, they’re not being read,” Mills says. The concept for the Little Free Library began in 2009 to promote literacy and the love of reading, as well as to build a sense of community, according to LittleFreeLibrary.org. They are now popping up around the world in the United States, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Spain, Turkey and the Congo. A recent Pew Internet & American Life Project survey shows that Americans strongly value the role of public libraries in their communities, both for providing access to materials and resources and for promoting literacy and improving the overall quality of life. More than half used a public library in a one-year period, and 72 percent say they live in a “library household”. Most Americans say they have only had positive experiences at public libraries and value a range of library resources and services. National Library Week begins April 13.

CO2-Correct Food

Menus Minimize Greenhouse Gases Experts at the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, at Aberdeen University, in Scotland, have created a new menu plan that is healthy and nutritious, as well as good for the environment. The researchers compiled a shopping list of 52 foods arranged in categories according to how much climate-changing greenhouse gases are produced to make and transport them (Tinyurl.com/ScottishDiet). They then devised a weekly weight allowance for each food, which when followed, would reduce the use of greenhouse gases by about a third. Surprisingly, the list features foods such as chocolate, ice cream and red meat, but anyone wanting to reduce their carbon footprint must only eat them in relatively tiny quantities. Some food groups, such as dairy products and meat, produce much bigger emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide than others because of the way they are manufactured and brought to market. The production of fruit, vegetables and legumes is much less likely to produce such high emissions. Source: Scotsman.com

GMO Go-Ahead

Feds Give Dangerous Green Light The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a draft statement essentially giving the green light to the marketing, sale and planting of Dow Chemical’s genetically modified (GM, GMO, GE) corn and soybeans resistant to 2,4-D, which will trigger a huge increase in the use of the toxic herbicide. The determination under the Plant Pest Act comes despite intense opposition over the past two years from farmers, more than 400,000 other individuals and some 150 farm, fishery, public health, consumer and environmental groups and private businesses. Meanwhile, the Grocery Manufacturers Association has issued talking points against GMO labeling laws for food industry lobbyists that claim the laws are unconstitutional, violating the First Amendment, although other legal experts say the assertion is baseless.

Trees are Trying Forests Have Limited Powers to Save Us

Forests have a finite capacity to soak up atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a recent study from Northern Arizona University. Results published in the online journal New Phytologist illustrate how today’s rising atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) might alter the carbon and nitrogen content of ecosystems. In contrast to expectations, research over an 11-year period showed that ecosystem carbon uptake was not significantly increased by high CO2. While plants did contain more carbon in the presence of higher CO2 levels, the soil lost carbon content due to microbial decomposition. These factors essentially canceled each other out, signifying that nature cannot entirely self-correct against climate change.

Marine Maneuvers Harnessing the Ocean’s Power Potential

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has updated its “red list” of threatened species, upgrading two kinds of albatross. However, the okapi, or “forest giraffe”, has taken a turn for the worse in Africa; the species is now listed as endangered and its numbers are dwindling, say IUCN officials. Among species that saw an increase in population are the black-browed albatross, which was promoted from endangered to near threatened, and the black-footed albatross, which went from vulnerable to near threatened. With stripes on its legs similar to those on zebras, the okapi is revered in its native habitat within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and even appears on the country’s currency. Protecting the species has been difficult amid political turbulence because armed rebels, elephant poachers and illegal miners encroach on parts of the okapi’s range, say conservationists.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is investing $16 million on 17 tidal and wave projects to sustainably and efficiently capture energy from waves, tides and currents. The projects will also help gather crucial data on how these devices interact with the surrounding environment. The DOE will also spend $13.5 million on eight projects to help U.S. companies build durable, efficient wave and tidal devices that reduce overall costs and maximize the amount of energy captured. Specifically, the projects will focus on developing new components and software that predicts ocean conditions and adjusts device settings accordingly to optimize power production.

LIVE GREEN,

SAVE BIG Five Eco-Friendly Life Decisions that Can Actually Save Us Money

by Crissy Trask

very pivotal life decision, from choosing where we live to eating healthier, can support our best interests environmentally, as well. The good news is that it is possible to afford a sustainable way of life. Eco-friendly choices for housing, vehicles and food—generally perceived as expensive for the average individual or family—often are not only attainable when pursued in a thoughtful way, but can actually save us money compared to maintaining the status quo.

1. Buying a Home

When considering a move to a new place, we often find out how much house we can manage and then proceed to invest to the hilt. But if hitting our spending limit will leave a deficit in the amount of green and healthy home features and furnishings we can achieve, we could end up with a residence that makes neither financial nor ecological sense,

and isn’t good for our health. A solution is to scale back on costly square footage. Spending 25 to 40 percent less than we think we can on a smaller home provides more possibilities when planning the renovation budget, enabling us to create a home that is more deeply satisfying. Nicole Alvarez, an architectural designer with Ellen Cassilly Architect, in Durham, North Carolina, who blogs at IntentionallySmall.com, says that if we value quality over quantity, place over space and living more intentionally in every aspect of our lives, we are ready for a small home. Occupying less space has profoundly influenced her daily life and happiness. Alvarez has found, “When space is limited, everything has a function and a purpose. Everything has to be intentional. Over time, as you grow in the home, you make small modifications to personalize it more to adjust to your routine. You

Urban, suburban or rural, where we live incurs long-term repercussions on the natural environment. Choosing an established community within or close to an urban center tends to be more protective of air, water and land quality than living in a distant, car-dependent suburb, yet many families feel either drawn to or resigned to the suburbs for the lower housing prices. But as Ilana Preuss, vice president at Washington, D.C.-based Smart Growth America, explains, “There is more to housing affordability than how much rent or mortgage we pay. Transportation costs are the second-biggest budget item for most families. In locations with access to few transportation choices, the combined cost of housing and transportation can be more than 60 percent of the total household budget. For families with access to a range of transportation choices, the combined cost can be less than 40 percent.” In most suburbs, where the only practical transportation choice is a personal vehicle, dependency on a car takes a toll on us financially and physically. Driving a personal vehicle 15,000 miles a year can cost about $9,122 annually in ownership and operating expenses, according to AAA’s 2013 Your Driving Costs report, and hours spent daily sitting behind the wheel being sedentary is eroding our health. Lack of transportation options is a leading detriment to the nation’s collective wellness, according to the federal agency Healthy People. Sustainable cities provide many transportation options, including public buses and trains, car-sharing services and all forms of ride sharing; and perhaps most importantly, they are bike- and pedestrian-friendly. Choosing communities that make it possible to reduce driving and even go car-free much of the

Although a 2014 midsized HEV has an average suggested retail price of $28,431, the category has been around long enough to create a market in previously owned vehicles. A used hybrid that is just two years old can cost up to 25 percent less than a new one.

3. Choosing a Car

We know two primary facts about cars: They are expensive and those with internal combustion engines pollute during operation. Still, many of us need one. Reducing the total impact and burden of owning a car can be as simple as prioritizing fuel efficiency. It helps that fuelsippers now come in more sizes than just small, yet small subcompacts remain a good place to start our research because of their budget-friendly prices and high fuel economy. A subcompact that averages 32 miles per gallon (mpg) and has a sticker price below $15,000 can save us so much money compared with a top-selling compact SUV—upwards of $16,000 over five years, according to Edmunds.com—that if we need a larger vehicle on occasion, we can more easily afford to rent one. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), both small and midsized, can be an even better choice, averaging 41 mpg. Cost comparisons show that an HEV can save a heavily travelling city driver nearly $1,000 in fuel costs annually versus a comparably sized conventional gasoline-powered car.

4. Buying American

According to Consumer Reports, many shoppers prefer to buy products made in the USA, but with more than 60 percent of all consumer goods now produced overseas, finding American goods is not always easy. The good news is that buying American doesn’t mean only buying American made. We back the U.S. economy and jobs when we purchase used items that have been renewed or repurposed by enterprising citizens. Creative reuse supports new and existing businesses that collect, clean, sort, recondition, refurbish, remanufacture, update, refinish, reupholster, repair, tailor, distribute and sell used parts, materials and finished goods. Sarah Baird, director of outreach and communications of the Center for a New American Dream, an organization working to shift consumption away from wasteful trends, loves the history of used items. She says, “An item that has already lived one life has a story to tell, and is infinitely more interesting than anything newly manufactured.” Another reward is the big savings afforded by previously owned durable goods; not even America’s big-box discount retailers can beat these genuine bargains. Of course, not everything is available in the used marketplace, but when it makes sense, we can proudly know that our purchases support American ingenuity and workers.

5. Getting Healthy

Going green is healthy in innumerable ways. In addition to driving less, banning toxic products from our household cupboards and dinner plates is another solid place to start on the road to improved well-being for ourselves and the planet. Toxic consumer products pollute the planet, from manufacture through use and disposal. They aren’t doing us any favors. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that the average human body now contains an estimated 700 industrial

After researching proper local disposal of such hazards, replace them on future shopping forays with safer choices. It’s an investment in our health that can save untold pain and money and pay off big time in avoiding health problems ranging from cancer, asthma and chronic diseases to impaired fertility, birth defects and learning disabilities according to the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families Coalition. To reduce exposure to the toxins that are commonly sprayed on conventional crops, select sustainable and organic versions of foods to prepare at home whenever possible. Such choices help keep both our bodies and the environment healthy and can be surprisingly affordable compared with eating out and consuming prepackaged convenience foods. By substituting whole foods for prepared foods, cooking more meals at home and practicing good eating habits—like eating less meat and downsizing portions— the average person can enjoy high-quality food for $7 to $11 per day. This matches or falls below what the average American daily spends on food, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Considering that diet-related diseases can cost afflicted families thousands of dollars a year, better food choices can make us not only healthier, but wealthier, too.

Green Housing Yields Social and Security Benefits n Large-home inhabitants may go all day without seeing one another and communication and togetherness can suffer. Family members living in small homes can more easily cultivate strong communications and cohesion. n Dense neighborhoods encourage interaction and cooperation among neighbors, nurturing a cohesive community that can reward us with social connections, collective responsibility and assistance when needed. n Urban homes give vandals and thieves fewer opportunities because neighbors are close by and passersby may be more readily noticed. n Small homes can encourage disconnecting from technology and getting outside. When the TV can be heard throughout the house, parents are more likely to urge outdoor playtime for kids. n The footprint of a small dwelling uses a fraction of the buildable lot, leaving more outdoor space for planting gardens that can nourish bodies and souls.

It wasn’t the flat screen TV at the foot of my bed, but how the room’s wiring was done. The electrician installed a relay so I can switch off the power on that side of the house at night. Now, I sleep six or seven hours,” which he characterizes as “a profound change.” He also suggests turning off and moving cell phones away from beds. Mollner then hardwired the computers in his home, eliminated Wi-Fi and rearranged the electronic equipment in his home office. Kim Cook, an energy practitioner in Mission Viejo, California, specializes in Eden Energy Medicine and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Cook decided not to buy a house she was initially interested in because it was in a hot spot. When Cook used her meter to chart frequencies at home, it also prompted her to move her bedroom clock radio to a different bureau. “It’s no longer sitting right at our heads,” she notes. Plus, “I don’t put my cell phone on my body and it bothers me that my son puts his in his pocket.” An overarching observation from Cook’s professional practice is that increasing numbers of people in pain are interested in energy medicine because they’re so frustrated with Western medicine. She observes, “Pain is blocked energy, and people are learning how to unblock it naturally.” The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the International EMF Project in 1996 because of rising public health concerns due to the surge in EMF sources. After reviewing extensive research and thousands of articles, the organization can’t confirm—or deny— the existence of health consequences from exposure to low-level EMFs. But in 2011, the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer classified the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones as possibly carcinogenic to humans, based on increased risk for glioma, a malignant brain cancer. Lloyd Morgan, a senior researcher with the nonprofit Environmental Health Trust and lead author of the internationally endorsed report, Cellphones and Brain Tumors, goes fur-

ther, unequivocally stating, “Cell phone radiation is a carcinogen.” In our own environment, we can regulate EMF, says Iowan Camilla Rees, founder of the educational petition website ElectromagneticHealth.org and Campaign for Radiation Free Schools on Facebook; she is the co-author of Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution and Morgan’s cell phone report. Says Rees, “You can buy a meter,

avoid using cordless phones and baby monitors, and change your cell phone behavior. The harmful effects of cell phones decrease with distance; just by holding the cell phone six inches from your head, there is a 10,000-fold reduction of risk.” Priscilla Goudreau-Santos is a freelance writer and owner of Priscilla Goudreau Public Relations & Marketing, in Charlotte, NC.

hazard that should be kept away from children and animals, borax is non-carcinogenic and isn’t absorbed through skin. Washing soda, a caustic chemical cousin of baking soda, softens water and removes stains. Bond advises, “It’s a heavy duty cleaner as powerful as any toxic solvent,” so wear gloves.

HOMEMADE ECO-CLEANERS DIY Recipes Keep Your Home Naturally Clean by Lane Vail

mericans use 35 million pounds of toxic household cleaning products annually. According to the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition, in Los Angeles, traces of cleaning chemicals can be found throughout the human body within seconds of exposure, posing risks like asthma, allergies, cancer, reproductive toxicity, hormone disruption, neurotoxicity and death. Equally sobering is the decades of research suggesting a relationship between the overuse of powerful disinfectants and the rise of antibiotic-resistant super bacteria like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as well as concerns over these toxins entering water supplies and wildlife food chains. Cleaning product labels lack transparency, says Johanna Congleton, Ph.D., a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group, because “manufacturers aren’t required to specify ingredients.” One approach to assure safe ingredients is do-it-yourself (DIY) products. For Matt and Betsy Jabs, the authors of DIY Natural Household Cleaners who blog at DIYNatural.com, creating homemade cleaners is a rewarding exercise in sustainability and simplicity. “We’re cutting through all the marketing and getting back to basics,” says Matt.

Affordability is another benefit: The Jabs’ homemade laundry detergent costs five cents per load, compared with 21 cents for a store brand. Annie B. Bond, a bestselling author and pioneering editor of the award-winning Green Guide, dispels a DIY myth: “What’s time-consuming isn’t making the cleaners; it’s making the decision to switch and figuring it all out,” she says.

Nine Basics

Find these multitasking ingredients in local groceries and health stores or online. White vinegar effectively cleans, deodorizes, cuts grease and disinfects against bacteria, viruses and mold. Castile soap in liquid or bar form serves as a biodegradable, vegetable-based surfactant and all-around cleaner (avoid mixing with vinegar, which neutralizes its cleansing properties). Baking soda cleans, whitens, neutralizes odors and softens water. It’s an excellent scrubbing agent for bathrooms, refrigerators and ovens. Borax, a natural mineral, improves the effectiveness of laundry soap. Although classified (as is salt) as a low-level health

Hydrogen peroxide is considered an effective disinfectant and bleach alternative by the Environmental Protection Agency. Use it to whiten grout and remove stains. Essential oils derived from plants infuse cleaners with fragrance and boost germfighting power. Tea tree, eucalyptus and lavender oils all boast antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. The Jabs advise that although they can be pricy, “The investment will pay for itself many times over.” Lemon juice or citric acid cuts through grease, removes mold and bacteria and leaves dishes streak-free. Coarse kosher salt helps soften dishwasher water and acts as a scouring agent.

Home Formulas

All-purpose cleaner: Homemade Cleaners: Quick-and-Easy Toxin-Free Recipes, by Mandy O’Brien and Dionna Ford, suggests combining one cup of vinegar, one cup of water and 15 drops of lemon oil in a spray bottle. Use it anywhere, including glass and mirrors. For serious disinfecting, follow with a hydrogen peroxide spray. Foaming hand/dish soap: Shake one cup of water, a quarter-cup of castile soap and 15 drops of essential oil in a foaming dispenser. Use in bathrooms and kitchens. Dishwashing detergent: DIYNatural recommends mixing one cup of borax, one cup of washing soda, a half-cup of citric acid and a half-cup of coarse kosher salt. Leave it uncovered for several days, stirring often to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate. Use one tablespoon per load with a half-cup of citric acid in the rinse to combat streaks. Laundry detergent: Combine one cup of borax, one cup of washing soda and one 14-ounce bar of grated castile soap. Use one tablespoon per load, adding a half-cup of lemon juice to the rinse

More than 95 percent of “green” products manipulate labels by providing irrelevant information (declaring a product is free of an already illegal chemical), being vague (masking poisons as natural ingredients), outright lying (claiming false endorsements) and other maneuvers. ~ TerraChoice Group cycle. Prior to washing, use hydrogen peroxide as a stain remover (test first; it may lift color). Bathroom soft scrub: Bond recommends creating a thick paste with liquid castile soap and a half-cup of baking soda. Scour tubs, showers and stainless steel surfaces with a sponge, and then rinse. Toilet bowl cleaner: Sprinkle one cup of borax into the toilet at bedtime and then clean the loosened grime with a brush the next morning, advises Bond. Wipe outer surfaces with the all-purpose spray. Wood polish: Bond recommends mixing a quarter-cup of vinegar or lemon juice with

a few drops of olive and lemon oil. Hard floor cleaner: Environmental Working Group’s DIY Cleaning Guide suggests combining a half-gallon of hot water with one cup of white vinegar in a bucket to mop.

Cloth Tools Replace Paper

Helene B. Leonetti, MD

by Lane Vail Americans, comprising less than 5 percent of the world’s population, use 30 percent of the world’s paper, according to the Worldwatch Institute. Some 13 billion pounds of this comes from paper towels, mostly landfilled because grime-soaked paper is non-recyclable. Ecological and economical alternatives include cloth dishrags, towels, napkins, wipes and handkerchiefs plus washable diapers and menstrual pads. Jean Calleja, co-owner of the Eco Laundry Company, in New York City, suggests customers buy recycled, organic, unbleached cloths and local products when possible. In the kitchen: Use washcloths or repurpose cotton T-shirts into 10-by-10-inch squares to use regularly with a homemade all-purpose cleaner on surfaces. Replace paper towels with cloth towels for drying hands. At the table: Cloth napkins enhance mealtime. Buy or make plain napkins (by hemming cotton fabric squares) for everyday use and celebrate holidays with fancypatterned fabric rolled into napkin rings.

In the bathroom: Substitute chlorine-laden disinfecting wipes with homemade reusable ones. DIYNatural.com recommends mixing three-quarters of a cup of white vinegar, three-quarters of a cup of water and 25 drops of essential oil in a glass mason jar. Stuff five to seven washcloths into the jar, seal with a lid and shake, so the solution is absorbed into each wipe. Pull out a ready-made disinfecting wipe for a quick clean. Laundering linens: Change cleaning rags often, hang-drying them thoroughly before adding to the laundry basket. Wash kitchen and bathroom rags (added to the bathroom towel load) separately each week. According to Calleja, “Presoaking rags overnight in a non-toxic, chlorinefree, whitening solution can make a huge difference in getting them clean.” Combine a half-cup of hydrogen peroxide with two to three gallons of water, spottesting every fabric first for colorfastness. Calleja also likes using a white vinegar and eucalyptus oil rinse aid to dissolve soap residue, soften fabric and leave a fresh scent.

Backyard Birds and Butterflies Native Habitats Draw Critters and Delight Kids by Avery Mack

reating a backyard wildlife habitat provides valuable teaching moments. With planning and care, birds, bats, butterflies and bunnies can view yards as safe havens and sources for food, water and shelter, providing endless fascination. Josh Stasik, a father of three and owner of SweetSeed.com, in Syracuse, New York, sees firsthand how feeding winged wonders can be an inexpensive way to start a new family activity. “My mom taught me about flowers and bird feeders. I hope my kids will someday pass the information along to their children,” he says. Habitat plantings and available foods determine what creatures will visit. “Native plants attract

native bugs that are eaten by native birds and bats,” observes Stasik, noting that staff at extension services and garden centers can provide helpful advice. Based on his own research, Stasik knows, “Bird species have definite tastes food. Bluebirds love Hummingbird in mealworms. Hummingbirds Nectar Recipe like floral nectars.

New York, builds birdhouses and nesting boxes with his kids. They also participate in the annual Christmas bird count for the Audubon Society (Birds.Audubon. org/Christmasbird-count). The Great Backyard Bird Count, a joint project between nonprofits Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, folbird photos courtesy of Susan lows in February Gottlieb, of Venice, California (gbbc.BirdCount.org). “In our yard, we have five nesting boxes made from reused wood. Once or twice a week, we check to see who lives there and how many eggs there are,” says Hoebbel. “So far, we’ve seen bluebirds, chickadees and house wrens.” He laments the rapid decline of bats in the Northeast due to pesticides killing bugs, the main course for birds and bats. “In the winter, bats live in caves, so we put one-by-one-foot boxes in the yard for their summer homes.” Warm evenings on the patio are more enjoyable when bats clean up the mosquito population; a single bat can eat as many as 1,000 in an hour. The monarch butterfly population is another favorite species in decline, with the spectacular annual migration on the verge of disappearing due to illegal deforestation, climate change, expansion of crop acreage and imposition of genetically modified plants that reduce the growth of native species. “You can help them by planting perennial milkweed in your garden,” advises Brande Plotnick, founder of Tomato Envy, in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Milkweed is the food of choice because it makes the caterpillars and butterflies toxic to birds and other predators. Also consider planting garden phlox, coneflower and lantana. Migrating monarchs live about nine months and fly up to 30 miles per hour. Plotnick also suggests planting an herb garden that includes parsley. “Swallowtail butterflies will lay eggs on parsley, caterpillars hatch and feed on it, and eventually create a chrysalis,” she says. “You’ll be able to see the entire butterfly life cycle.” Rabbits add another dimension to backyard wildlife. Just as birds and but-

terflies need trees, bushes and plants to land on and hide in, bunnies need ground cover. The Virginia Department of Game and Fisheries counsels that brush piles should start with a base of large limbs, logs or stones to raise the floor above ground and create tunnels and escape routes, plus a home base. Top with smaller branches and maybe a recycled Christmas tree or dead plants. Encourage structural density and permanence with live vines. The resulting brush pile should be igloo-shaped and about six to eight feet tall and wide. Visit Tinyurl.com/BunnyShelters. City ordinances or subdivision regulations might prohibit brush piles in ordinary yards. Find out how to gain certification as a wildlife habitat through the National Wildlife Federation at Tinyurl.com/CertifiedWildlifeHabitat. Rabbits can have as many as seven babies per litter, depending on the species. Make sure their space is sufficient. Before attracting bunnies to the yard, be aware of local predators—hawks, owls, coyote, dogs and stray cats. The brush pile may also attract other animals like skunks, raccoons and reptiles. A wildlife habitat is a fun, ongoing learning experience. It calls on math skills for bird counts, geography to follow migration maps and woodworking to build homesites and feeding spots. It becomes a lesson in local ecology and the roles of native plants and animals. When children comprehend they can help save wildlife, it’s also a lesson in hope.

Chili paste, black pepper, garlic powder, ginger and soy sauce to taste

Culinary Mushroom Magic by Case Adams

oday, fungi cuisine in the West is typically limited to Agaracus bisporus—the relatively mild button mushroom, which matures into the acclaimed portobello. But digging deeper into available options reveals chanterelle (Cantharellus sp.), oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus), morel (Morchella sp.) and shiitake (Lentinula edodes) species. These culinary mushrooms, provide a virtuosity of delicate flavors harboring nutritional and medicinal benefits according to those that study them. University of California-Berkeley research scientist and Mycologist Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D., explains that shiitake and oyster mushrooms follow the button as the most widely cultivated around the world. “They come in many colors, varieties and species and are typically the most easily digested and utilized of all mushrooms,” he notes. “Mushrooms are an amazing health food,” says Hobbs. “Most edible fungi are high in fiber, good-quality protein, key vitamins, micronutrients, phosphorous and potassium, and low in fat and calories. It’s one of nature’s perfect diet foods.”

My Tacos by Cate Moss Makes a healthy filling for tacos and enchiladas, or crumble as a topper on deluxe nachos. They taste as good as they smell, and like chili they taste almost better as leftovers. Fills 12 large tacos, or more paired with fillings such as chopped leafy lettuce or guacamole. 1-2 cups of chopped stropharia, shiitake or maitake mushrooms 1 cup crumbled tempeh or other healthful protein source ¼ cup chopped onions ½ cup sunflower seeds or chopped almonds ¼ cup sesame seeds

Combine ingredients (except egg) in a pot and bring to a boil. Add beaten egg to the boiling soup while gently stirring. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer overnight.

Mushroom Pâté by Andrew Lenzer Present a perfect appetizer for dinner with friends. The savory quality of mushrooms— what the Japanese call umami—make them a welcome alternative to meat-based pâtés.

1 cup corn 1 chopped sweet pepper (add hot peppers if desired) 1 small handful of chopped olives 4 shakes of soy sauce 1 Tbsp spiced hot chocolate 2 Tbsp chili powder 1 Tbsp ground cumin ¼ cup nutritional yeast 2 cloves of chopped garlic 1 cup broth or water Sauté mushrooms, protein and onions until crispy (uncrowded in the pan). Then add remaining ingredients and braise on low heat. Allow mixture to cook down to desired consistency.

Hot & Sour Cauliflower Mushroom Soup by Loni Jean Ronnebaum This rare mushroom has a unique firmness reminiscent of noodles and can be soaked and rinsed to clean, and then cut into cauliflower-like chunks. Slow cook overnight for best results. Yields 8 servings 2-4 lb fresh cauliflower mushrooms 16 oz kimchi ½ cup peas 1 20-oz can crushed pineapple 1 32-oz vegetable broth 1 egg or ¼ cup egg substitute

Ice Chaser

James Balog’s Dramatic Images Document Climate Change by Christine MacDonald

ational Geographic photographer James Balog says he was skeptical about climate change until he saw it happening firsthand. Watching once-towering glaciers falling into the sea inspired his most challenging assignment in a storied 30-year career— finding a way to photograph climate change. In exploring Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey, a breathtaking photographic record of vanishing glaciers, and his award-winning documentary, Chasing Ice, Natural Awakenings asked about the challenges he faced to bring this dramatic evidence of climate change to a world audience.

How did seeing glaciers shrink “before your eyes” move you to endure sometimes life-threatening conditions to get these images on record? I fell in love with ice decades ago as a young mountaineer and scientist. I loved to get up before dawn and hike out on a glacier in Mount Rainier or one in the Alps, watch the light come up and hear the crunch of the frozen ice underfoot. On a trip to Iceland early in the project, I was looking at these little diamonds of ice that were left behind on the beach after the glaciers broke up. The surf had polished them into incredible shapes and textures. Walking the beach, you’d realize each one was a unique natural sculpture that existed only for that moment before the return of high tide

stole it away. Nobody would ever see it again. That was an amazing aesthetic and metaphysical experience. I realized that I wanted people to share this experience, to see the glaciers disappearing. This visual manifestation and evidence of climate change is here, happening right before our eyes. It is undeniable.

Why do these photos and videos help us grasp the scale of Planet Earth’s climate changes already underway? When people encounter Extreme Ice Survey images, their response is typically immediate and dramatic. It is the first step toward caring about a distant landscape most will never experience in person, enabling them to connect the dots between what happens far away and the rising sea levels, extreme weather events and other climate-related issues closer to home.

What can an everyday person do to help underscore the global scientific consensus and urgency of addressing global warming? Lobbyists and pundits seek confusion and controversy, because ignorance seeks to hide within a noise cloud of false information. As long as the public thinks climate change isn’t real or that science is still debating it, fossil fuel industries protect their profits. Without social clarity, the political leaders financially beholden to fossil fuel industries

have no motivation to act. Market signals don’t help us make correct decisions when the military, health and environmental costs of fossil fuels that spread throughout the economic system don’t show up in today’s gasoline prices and electricity bills. Science and art seek clarity and vision. Clear perception is the key to changing the impact we’re having on our home planet. With social clarity, the policy, economic and technological solutions to wise energy use and countering climate change can be widely implemented. The path forward is being traveled by individuals committed to improving their own lives and communities; by school children who can’t stand the inaction of their elders; by innovative entrepreneurs and corporations eager to make or save money; by military generals seeking to protect their country and their soldiers; and by political leaders of courage and vision. We are all complicit with action or skeptical inaction; we can all participate in solutions to climate change.

What’s next on the horizon for you? We will continue to keep the Extreme Ice Survey cameras alive. This project doesn’t end just because the film came out. We plan to keep observing the world indefinitely. We’ll install more cameras in Antarctica; funding permitting, we also hope to expand into South America. I intend to continue looking at human-caused changes in the natural world, which is what I’ve been photographing for 30 years. I’m developing a couple of other big ideas for conveying innovative, artistic and compelling interpretations of the world as it’s changing around us. I will continue doing selfdirected educational projects through our new nonprofit, Earth Vision Trust. Overall, I feel a great obligation to preserve a pictorial memory of vanishing landscapes for the people of the future.

Qi Whiz

Qigong Steps Up Vitality and Serenity

~ The National Qigong Association

by Meredith Montgomery

A proven practice for supporting health and self-healing, qigong has been used in China for millennia to maintain and improve physical, mental and emotional well-being.

“Q

i” (pronounced chee) refers to the life force or vital energy present in all things throughout the universe while “gong” means dedicated effort or steady practice of a skill. Qigong is the art of working intensely with this energy, cultivating life force. Acupuncture physician and qigong instructor Walter Hayley, in Bonita Springs, Florida, became passionate about qigong while working as a stockbroker in need of stress relief. He compares qigong’s movement of energy in the body to water running through a hose: “Qi is concentrated in channels throughout the body. Think of the qi as water and those channels as a garden hose branching out to every aspect of the individual. Stress, whether physical or emotional, can kink the hose. Qigong helps get the kinks out,” he explains. “It relaxes the body, letting energy flow more efficiently, allowing the body to heal itself.” Qigong styles vary, but Hayley remarks that most involve slow movement, focused awareness and special breathing

techniques. Many describe the practice as a moving meditation. Qigong teacher Judith Forsyth, in Mobile, Alabama, says, “It’s often described as the mother of tai chi. When the quiet, internal energy art of qigong mixed with the powerful external martial arts, it developed into tai chi.” She emphasizes that the focus of qigong is less on its physical mechanics and more on understanding how the vital force moves through the body and can be used to enhance health and longevity. Inside the body, there’s an integrated network of subtle energy centers that international Qigong Master Robert Peng believes are connected to the capacity for genuine happiness. The goal is to awaken and pack these centers with qi. “By repeating slow, gentle movements over and over, you can develop the body’s capacity to draw qi from the universe. It can be stored in these centers and later channeled back through the body to empower your daily activities,” explains Peng, author of The Master Key:

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

The Qigong Secret for Vitality, Love, and Wisdom. He focuses on three of the body’s big energy portals: the “third eye”, located between the eyebrows; the “heart center”, at the center of the chest on the sternum and the “sea of qi”, just below the navel. The idea is that when energy is accessed in these three centers, specific spiritual qualities are accessed: wisdom, love and vitality (respectively). Harmonizing all three is ideal. Peng advises that when these essential elements are woven together in balance, dynamic happiness is possible. “You begin to project more wisdom, love, vitality, inspiration and peacefulness. Conversations flow more smoothly. Your life becomes more productive, meaningful and serene,” he says. “Whatever the challenges encountered, you’ll be better equipped to deal with them, while remaining inwardly content.” Forsyth was first guided to qigong when the prescribed rest, drugs, exercise and physical therapy following an accident left her with lingering neck and back problems. She recalls, “After eight weeks of practice, I experienced significant physical improvement, not only where I had considerable pain, but in my overall energy level, ability to sleep and the condition of my skin and hair. The peace and harmonizing meditation benefits of qigong were also affecting me positively in other ways. I became less worried, less of a perfectionist, less stressed out and began to experience more joyfulness.” While all styles benefit overall health, specific qigong exercises may be pre-

scribed for specialized needs, from athletic conditioning to management of chronic conditions such as arthritis, hypertension or cancer. The gentle movements can be performed by almost anyone at any age and ability level, even those confined to a chair or bed. “Qigong speaks to the body and the body then addresses the condition,” Hayley remarks. The experts advise that qigong is best practiced every day, even if for just five minutes. “A group class offers a synergy that a home practice lacks, but the more important practice is at home,” observes Hayley. Some personal instruction is ideal so the practitioner receives feedback, but books and videos make qigong accessible to everyone, everywhere. Hayley reminds newbies, “Just be patient. If one form doesn’t suit you, remember there are thousands of different forms to try.” Peng’s advice to beginners is, “Be happy! Think of the exercise as lighthearted play and remember to smile as you move.” Meredith Montgomery is the publisher of Natural Awakenings Mobile/Baldwin, AL (HealthyLivingHealthyPlanet.com).

Wilderness in Sidewalk Cracks Small Nature Reaches Out to City Kids

by Greg Hanscom

ity kids are often taught that nature is out there beyond the city limits, but one science educator and photographer shows how everyday nature has the power to transform. You can take Molly Steinwald out of the city, but you’ll never get the city out of her. Growing up as a free-school-lunch kid on the outskirts of Manchester, New Hampshire, she notes, “I didn’t do the skiing and mountain climbing thing.” Instead, she found solace watching ants parade across the sidewalk or tracing the intricate lines on a leaf. Yet when she graduated from high school, Steinwald traveled as far as she could from those city streets, earning a degree in biology, and then a master’s degree in ecology researching kangaroo rats in Arizona’s Chiricahua Mountains. Still, the city always tugged at her. “I was really excited about big nature,” Steinwald says. “But I kept coming back to small-scale, mundane nature that I knew as a kid. I felt I needed to get back to help people who never see this stuff.” Today, Steinwald is doing just that. She is now pursuing a Ph.D. researching human interactions with nature in built environments. As director of science education and research at the Phipps Conservatory, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she has been charged with reimagining urban environmental education and reaching out to at-risk youth. Her basic assumption is: One doesn’t have to go to a national park, or even a city park, to connect with the natural world. It’s crawling past us on

Palm Beach Edition

the sidewalk or drifting through the air right under our nose. That, she says, is where city kids can forge a lasting connection with nature—if they’re paying attention. As one of the many ways to get kids to tune in, Steinwald directs programs that arm them with digital cameras and challenges them to take pictures of the fragments of nature they find on the streets. The approach is a departure from the belief held by some that “nature” is defined as parks or green spaces—places apart from our everyday lives. Lisa Graumlich, dean of the University of Washington School of the Environment, in Seattle, Washington, says Steinwald is making waves in environmental education circles: “She was an urban kid. She brings the voice of someone from a different economic class to the table.” Graumlich says it makes intuitive sense that connecting with street-level nature will help build a lasting bond with the natural world. The next challenge is figuring out how to provide kids with more of these experiences: “It may be as simple as a mom walking home from the bus stop with bags of groceries and two children in tow, feeling like she has time to look at a sidewalk crack with them.” “A lot of nature in the city is really small,” Steinwald observes. “I want to show these kids that even if their nature is small, it’s still darned good nature.”

A YEAR TO LIVE By Stephen Levine

anuary is always a wonderful month. It can be a time of new beginnings; a time for deep reflection as to what is important in one’s life; a time to give energy to one’s intentions and aspirations; and a time to renew one’s resolutions. It is a common practice to do all of this in January. And yet, it is also a common experience that the fire behind our New Year’s resolutions cools as the year goes on Even though the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine has been out for a number of years I wanted to write a review for it at this time. Stephine’s book is a powerful tool in keeping transformative energy alive throughout the whole year. Levine, a poet, teacher and author, along with his wife Ondrea have worked extensively with individuals who are ill and dying. What he discovered is the tremendous amount of focus and determination that oftentimes accompanies terminal illnesses. He marveled at how people, faced with a limited time left to there lives, discovered how, in their own words, to fully live life by spending their remaining time in truly meaningful ways. He also saw how much that noble effort was hampered by also having to contend with a serious illness at the same time. He speculates how valuable it would be if one could essentially tape into that reservoir of inner strength and commitment but not actually have to cope with the serious illness. He decided to make that attempt by dedicating one full year and live that year as if it truly was his last. This book is a result of that experiment. The following is an excerpt entitled: A Commitment to Life What a luxury to have a year to live! With 250,000 people dying each day, and knowing we are somewhere down that line, who has time to put life aside? We prepare for death by living every second, living life minutely, exploring our body and mind with a merciful awareness. Awareness is itself a healing quality. Where awareness is focused the deepest potentials for clarity and balance present themselves. Though what we are aware of may be incessantly changing, awareness itself remains a constant, a luminous spaciousness without beginning or end, without birth or death. I am suggesting living a year so profoundly alive that we directly experience the moment-to-moment process that is our lives. We take responsibility for being alive, recognizing that responsibility

is the ability to respond instead of the compulsion to react. We explore it all: that in us which at times wishes to be dead as well as that in us which never dies. That which blocks the heart and confuses the mind as well as that which clears confusion and dissolves obstruction. Not imagining that “death will take care of everything,” we come to realize that our “knowing,” even our “understanding,” is not enough. We must integrate our insights and encourage the weary mind to settle into the expansive heart. We break the dreamlike quality of a half-attended life. When you speak and when you listen, stay mindful that the fear which limits greater openness also limits self-awareness and obstructs the completion of unfinished business. This one-year, last-year life experiment is not some morbid undertaking, quite the reverse. It does not invite death but rather encourages completion before dissolution. Although some suicidal niche in the mind might become enamored with the prospect of dying … such old-mind tendencies invite close examination. They are that part of each of us which would rather die than face, much less heal, our pain. They are the all-too-familiar feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy, which, when they are investigated, remind us of why so many parts of our live remain unlived. The one-year life experiment is a remedy for, not an indulgence of, such life-denying tendencies. In the course of its daily application, life becomes more vibrant and appreciated. It can be a vital medicine for so many aspects of ourselves that have become breathless and numb. For the month of January I will be offering this book at Changing Times Books and Gifts at a 20% discount. It is my hope that you will come in and take a look at it for yourself.

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

he Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has a long history and a recent surge in interest. It is a shelf mushroom of woody texture with a sort of shiny top (hence the descriptive name “lucidum” or shiny), which grows on dead or dying trees. They are grown commercially now in North America as well as Asia. There are several varieties of Reishi mushrooms: red is the most potent, plus black, blue, white, yellow, and purple. Reishi documented history goes back to writings around 200 B.C. in China. It was regarded as a spiritual medicine which nourished the “shen” or spirit. Taoist monks used it to calm the mind for meditation. Ancient Chinese felt it had properties of longevity and increased vitality, as well as treated illnesses of the liver and arthritis. Himalayan guides use it for altitude sickness. Mayan Indians used it to treat and prevent infectious diseases.

The active ingredients are derived from the stem and cap of the mushroom, and include: • Beta-D-glucan • Egosterol • Fungal lysozyme • Proteinase • Triterpenes: Ganoderic acids • Lipids • Alkaloids

• Glucosides • Coumarins • Volatile oil • Riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and amino acids

Medicinal usages:

• Cancer • Arthritis • Fatigue • Hypertension • Nervous tension • Bronchitis • Hepatitis • Reduced effects of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy • Increased blood circulation • Lowers cholesterol • Asthma • Anti-allergic • Anti-inflammatory • Anti-viral • Anti-bacterial • Anti-oxidant • Mood elevating • HIV and AIDS • Stimulates macrophages, T-cells, natural killer cells, and alters levels of Tissue Necrosis Factor and Interleukins (cells and chemicals in the immune system) • Inhibits platelet aggregation (clot formation) • Antihistamine • Antitussive (cough suppressant) • Expectorant • Insomnia.

Adverse reactions:

Itching, dry nose and throat, nausea and vomiting.

Drug interactions:

Reishi may increase the risk of bleeding if given with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, and may lower the blood pressure too much if given with antihypertensives.

Dosage:

there is no optimal dosage. Reishi mushrooms may be cooked and eaten in a variety of ways. Fresh or dried mushrooms can be boiled, strained, and used for tea. The main extract of Reishi mushrooms found in capsules is Beta-D-glucan, which seem to range from about 100-600 mg/cap. William H.
