newsbriefs Could a Hard Bump to the Head Or a Whiplash Change your Life?

W

hen 35-year-old Sarah* experienced a whiplash in a car accident, she prudently went to the doctor and was told she was fine. Five months later, this married mother-of-two went from dedicated, organized, and meticulous to erratic, irresponsible, and falling apart. She exhibited ADD-like symptoms, and her family thought she might have a hidden drinking problem. No one knew what to do or why her behavior had changed so radically.

During an intake at the Center for Brain Training, the connection was made between the head injury she experienced in the car accident and her recent symptoms and changes in behavior. With a targeted evaluation and plan, she began the neurofeedback training that helped her get her life back together again.

Brain Injury and Delayed Response Sarah’s story is a common one. Many people have experienced a significant hit to the head, or a whiplash, hurt their heads in sports, or had a concussion. When they go to the doctor or a hospital, they are often told, “Your brain is fine. There’s nothing wrong”. They may even have an MRI or other brain imaging process, and their diagnosis is still that they are fine.

Yet, odd symptoms may start to occur that aren’t fine.

Symptoms they may have always had can intensify. Often there’s a delay of 6-24 months before significant symptoms can be identified. With the onset of those symptoms, the life they had changes. Even risk of fibromyalgia at times has been linked to car accidents.

When doctors have said there’s nothing wrong, people tend to feel there’s something inherently wrong with them when their behavior, mood or even thinking goes awry. Instead, there’s often a physical problem in the brain that can be helped. Additionally, many people often aren’t even told they might have problems at a later date as a result of a head injury or concussion, so no one knows to look for it.

When people don’t know what to do to help their loved ones and don’t correlate behavior to a prior injury, there can be a tendency to get frustrated or dismiss the person’s problems as psychological when, in fact, there’s a very valid physical cause that can often be remedied.

One reason why connecting changes in behavior to a brain injury can be confusing is the person may already have had certain tendencies towards attention problems, memory lapses, depression or anxiety, or learning issues. Those tendencies can get much worse because low-level concussions or head injuries exacerbate any symptoms someone may have previously had.

Issues that were minor and manageable become much more prominent and out of control.

The kid with occasional attention challenges may become

impossibly impulsive after smacking the front of his head. However, because there is a year or two delay before the significant presenting problems arise, he gets diagnosed as having ADHD and put on meds. His parents and medical team may not know or understand that his frontal lobe could be damaged because of the hit on the head a year prior. He may not be ADHD at all.

What Are the Options?

Newer techniques for brain rehabilitation are being better-honed all the time. Neurofeedback is an important one of those options, and evaluation is critical. With neurofeedback and qEEG brain mapping, technology exists to help determine whether or not a brain injury may have an impact on behavior. Even many years after an injury, these technologies can help.

Karen* had suffered from depression for more than thirty years. While she had experienced some mild depression in her teens and early twenties, her depression became much more severe in her mid-twenties – a year or two after two falls that had given her mild concussions.

Her depression was treated as a psychological problem because no one asked her about prior head injuries, and they may not have made the association even if she had been asked.

Despite trying multiple medications, she did not respond to antidepressants because her depression was due to a brain injury.

It was not a typical depression pattern.

When she tried neurofeedback, she said it was the first thing that had helped live without depression. She went from being depressed six days a week to being depressed one day every several weeks, and the intensity of the depression was far less.

Karen continues to do neurofeedback to maintain better mental health. There are other options in addition to neurofeedback that can help improve brain functioning as well. Brain-targeted nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes can also help.

If you or a loved one is struggling with changes in behavior including attention problems, memory lapses, depression or anxiety, mood, or learning issues it may be due to a prior hit on the head or concussion. Please get evaluated to determine the impact a head injury may have on any behavioral changes.

A specialized brain map and in-depth intake can make all the difference as you move forward towards better health. * Names have been changed to protect clients’ identity and privacy.

newsbriefs Gentle Aids Counter Vaginal Dryness

V

aginal dryness is a problem that many perimenopausal and menopausal women encounter as mucous membranes begin to shrink and lose some of their elasticity. When cleansed with conventional alkaline shower soaps, the delicate mucous membranes of the vagina and vulva area may take up to 24 hours to regain their normal pH. Such removal of the skin’s natural acid mantle makes it vulnerable to irritation and infection.

Numerous factors can cause this fragile ecosystem to swing out of balance, increasing the possibility for discomfort. While many products address vaginal dryness, they typically contain hydrocarbons such as mineral oil, petrolatum and liquid paraffin, prompting many women to avoid them.

The difficulty can be particularly problematic for women undergoing radiation therapy for cancer, because petroleum-based products can build up on the skin and deflect the radiation.

Lubrigyn’s line of pH-balanced cleansing, moisturizing and lubricating products, formulated with natural active ingredients and free of hydrocarbons and hormones, can help. They all contain hyaluronic acid (HA), an intensive moisturizer capable of absorbing hundreds of times its own molecular weight in water, which draws moisture and enables the skin to be hydrated and even helps to rebuild skin cells. Other basic ingredients include calendula (marigold) to soothe skin, and lubricating elastin, plus jojoba and sweet almond oils, which together add tone, elasticity and skin protection.

Lubrigyn products may be used with or without water, and won’t disappear down the shower drain like some other plant-extract moisturizing products.

For more information, visit LubrigynUSA.com, email Info@AdvocateMedCo.com or call 954-900-6854 (U.S.) or 1-787-919-0898 (Puerto Rico). The American Medical Co. operates from Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Repelling Insects with Essential Oils

A

re bugs really bugging you this season? Are you looking for a natural way to repel them? There are effective ways to repel all sorts of insects with essential oils. And yes – not only do they work, they are also a fun, natural, non-toxic way to discourage pests while creating a great smelling atmosphere. There are a variety of ways to repel insects by diffusing, spray, or putting oils on cotton balls or cedar chips for use in your closets or drawers. Here are a few common oils and the pests who dislike them most…

Spearmint: Ants, aphids, caterpillars, gnats, black flea beetles, lice and moths Peppermint: Ants, aphids, bean beetles, cabbage root fly, caterpillars, black flea beetles,flies, lice, moths and plant lice Lemongrass: Black flea beetles, fleas, mosquitoes and ticks Thyme: Bean beetle, cabbage root fly, cutworm and ticks Rosemary: Cabbage root fly and carrot fly Patchouli: Gnats, snails, weevils, wooly aphids, moths Fleas and other parasites dislike Lemongrass, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint.

Eucalyptus is especially effective to repel fleas from your canine friends. Lavender and Peppermint are used to reduce the itching due to insect bites. Single oils good for insect repellent are Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Lime, Lavender, Tea Tree, Cedarwood, Geranium, Idaho Tansy, Rosemary, Patchouli, Citronella, Lemongrass, and Thyme. Cockroach repellent? Try mixing 10 drops Peppermint and 5 drops Cypress in 1/2 cup salt water. Shake well and spray where roaches live. You can create your own spray of any combination by filling a 4 oz mist spray bottle with water and essential oil(s) of your choice. Remember to shake well before using, as oil & water will separate.

If you know any remedies that work particularly well, we’d love to hear from you. And, we’d love your feedback on the above suggestions (we love getting success stories).

orth Palm Beach, FL- This summer at MacArthur Beach State Park there are four college interns working throughout the park helping with everything from animal care to the Natural Science Education Program. The Interns came from Purdue University, Kent State University, Florida Gulf Coast University and Palm Beach Atlantic University with majors in Biology and Environmental Science.

The goal of the Internship Program at MacArthur Beach is to provide students the opportunity to acquire skills and in-depth knowledge in his or her future profession. In exchange, MacArthur Beach has an extra set of hands to help with the Natural Science Education Program, summer camps and various other projects throughout the Park. The Park also benefits from the opportunity to build relationships with universities for future recruitment.

Last year, the Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park purchased a mobile home for interns to stay in while working at the Park. “We thought it was necessary to provide housing for the interns in order to attract quality students from across the country, and so far we have been very fortunate,” says Cheryl Houghtelin, Friends Executive Director. “The Interns we have had have been wonderful,” she adds “our last intern Vanessa went on to get her Masters in Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies at the University of Florida.”

This summer the Interns have had the opportunity to participate in MacArthur Beach State Park’s inaugural Citizen Science Program where they have excavated leatherback sea turtle nests to determine nest productivity. “I have learned so much about sea turtles this summer says, Samantha Grote from Decatur, IN “seeing a sea turtle lay her eggs is one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” she adds. Jessica Stuczynski from Stow, OH says, “I have really enjoyed learning about sea turtles and all the other wildlife you won’t see back in Ohio. This has been a great experience.”

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, Palm Beach County’s only state park, is situated on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon. The Park is made up of 438 acres of pristine coastal land and contains four different communities or habitats including seven species of plants and twenty-two species of animals on the endangered or threatened list.

newsbriefs YOGA FOR HEALTHY CHILDREN!

W

hy should kids do yoga? As parents, you may be able to pick many activities for your children. How do you choose what is best? What should be a priority? How, in a typical harried week, do you make sure they have a balance between fun and other beneficial experiences, maybe even those with long-term benefits?

Fortunately, there’s yoga for your kids (and for you, if you want to feel good too)!

It’s fun, it’s active and it’s calming – while subtly infusing a sense of self-worth.

Through the physical practice, yoga nurtures flexibility and freedom of movement and grows corresponding self-confidence.

Yoga gives kids healthy bodies and minds and develops their radiant little selves.

Unfortunately, kids are not immune to stress – and they’re surrounded by it once they merge into society – whether going to school or playing sports. In nurturing contrast, yoga provides a safe, secure, non-competitive environment; a joyful space to be; and a chance for much needed relaxation. Plus, it gives them valuable tools they can use now and in the future.

So, what goes on in a kids’ yoga class? First, yoga gives children a chance to explore being in their bodies and discover the spectrum of amazing things we can do… stretch, jump, be quiet/loud, balance, twist, bend, rest, be alone and in a group, focus, get strong and flexible, sing, play and be upside down. Yoga is one of the best activities for kids. A child can come into the class tired, frustrated, hot, hyperactive and – wherever they are – yoga practice begins. Yoga gives then the gift of joy and discovery of being vitally alive. They notice and connect with their breath, which is their life! (When is the last time you took a long, deep breath with child-like awe at the amazing creatures we are?)

Second, yoga is non-competitive. Unlike sports, learning an instrument, or playing video games, yoga does not encourage

competition; nor does it put pressure on children to do more, do better, or go faster.

During yoga, kids notice how their own bodies move. It’s fun as they try different poses, developing self-awareness and recognition of the their strengths and where they can improve – without self-judgment or comparison. Yoga is one of the best ways to build children’s confidence. Yoga’s positive reinforcement provides a framework for them to see positive shifts, without the pressure of needing to change.

Finally, yoga gives children a chance to be mindful, get perspective and rest.

All of us, all the time, in our busy lives in the modern world are over-stimulated.

Stress – noise, crowds, carrying heavy bags, working on computers, being in cars, having to rush to get places, not eating so well, pollution, too much television, pressure to do better – all tax our nervous systems. Kids are not different! On the spectrum of quiet-relaxation to fight-andflight response, our nervous systems tend to be more on the stressed side most of the time. Constant stress increases heart rate, blood flow, breathing and brain activity.

It increases the production of cortisol and other hormones in the body, which in a true danger situation is good, but over time consistently drains and stresses the body and the mind, taxing our nervous systems and likely decreasing immunity.

So, in class, after your daughter or son practices poses, laughs and discovers new things about their bodies, there is relaxation. A time of lying down gives an experience of goodness and relief of quiet restfulness, stimulating the calming parasympathetic nervous system. In addition to feeling wonderful, relaxation renews balance in the body systems and mind. It teaches children the value of quietly breathing and to focus on what is going on with them versus what the world asks them to focus on. Believe it or not – kids, even super-active ones, love this!

Relaxation and yoga breathwork give kids (and us) time to focus on our bodies in the present and perspective that allows us to calm down in moments of upset or when we are overtaxed.

What should you tell your children about yoga? That class starts with sitting

in a circle, maybe a name game, listening to a bell, breathing or singing, then we’ll do stretches and poses to warm-up, a series of poses around a theme (like rainforest, circus, strength and courage). At the end is a nice relaxation with soft music or guided visualization (like walking on a beach and seeing starfish). They might even get a foot massage. Class can also include noncompetitive yoga games, short meditations or chants, artwork or a chance for them to teach a pose to their peers.

All types of kids love yoga and can do yoga. We hope your children have the opportunity to experience this gift of yoga as well as the health, balance and radiance it brings to their lives now and in the future.

newsbriefs Conscious Parenting- The future of the World lies in Your Hands

I

n the Beginning…….

We are born without an instruction manual. Isn’t that amazing? Any job in life usually requires some type of instruction, yet one of the most important and significant responsibilities any of us will ever have - which is raising children- is pretty much done on “on the fly.” Our parents did it that way and for the most part, we do too. Most people don’t question this non- method of raising children.

Being a parent is not something to take lightly. There are numerous reasons why educated and positive parenting is so important.

The most obvious reasons are simply because we want our children to become well-adjusted, happy, successful and self confident adults. Not so obvious is the fact that how you raise your child or children has a ripple affect across the entire nation. We seldom consider that the future of America rests in large part on the role parents play in their children’s lives. It is a major contribution for either the positive or negative evolution of our world.

Children raised by conscious parents have better coping skills, are more likely to take personal responsibility for their decisions, are less likely to blame others or the “system” for their problems and have an overall win-win attitude in life. This is one prime example of how our behaviors are a result of the belief systems bestowed upon us and how we affect one another on a universal level.

Generally speaking, we muddle along. Our children may turn out brilliantly or not. Hopefully, we teach our children values,

maybe throw in some stuff about how, “You can be anything you want to be.” Although, this is usually accompanied by the caveat, “If you work really, really hard!” (Wow… what a bargain!) Then somewhere in time, usually around middle age comes the time when we begin to consider our own mortality.

We may also begin to sense a vague uneasiness. We do a life review which often leads us to the burning questions about who we really are, what motivates us and most importantly what we were born to do.

Why didn’t anyone tell us this would happen? How do we unravel years of beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve us?

How do we discover what our true passion and mission is in life? Heck, even if we do find the answers, then what? Do we have to start all over again?

DISCONNECTING FROM THE EXTERNAL WORLD In a sense we do have to start all over again. We have to disconnect from the world we see with our eyes (the world of illusion) and reconnect to the world behind our eyes (the real world of our intuition). If you believed only what your senses told you then you would believe that the world is flat and not this huge sphere. You would believe that we are stationery and not spinning at dizzying speeds throughout space.

And herein lies our challenge: to defy what we have been told to believe about the world for a half century or more and what our eyes so convincingly tells us is real and rely instead on the clear vision and higher intelligence of our soul.

I often say, “The way out is the way in.” Remember the times when you listened to your gut (your intuition) and you were lead to just the right person, place or thing? Know that your intuition is always speaking to you and will lead you to where you need to be. Your job is to stop the monkey mind chatter …. And just listen. Here are some suggestions to get you out of your mind and connect to your IGS (intuitive Guidance System). #1- Meditate, Meditate, Meditate. I say this so often that I’m certain people are tired of hearing it, but truly this is the first and best step to get in touch with your inner guidance system and connect to the Universal intelligence/God. #2- Challenge your beliefs: Stop believing everything your mind tells you! Interview yourself and ask why \you believe the things you believe? #3- Challenge your mind with critical thinking exercises. The internet is abundant with mind puzzles for you and your family.

Remember that these steps will not only help you, it will help you to become a model of inspired behavior for your children!

newsbriefs ‘Diet Mom’ - How You Can Enhance Your Family’s Healthy Eating

S

he was called the “Diet Mom”—and plenty worse. “One German headline labeled Dara-Lynn Weiss “Monster-Mutter No. 1,” another called her a “maternal travesty,” and others yet described her as a revolting, selfish socialite.”

Indeed, I was called names too when I made efforts to control my 7-year-old daughter’s blooming weight and addiction to sweets and white flour products.

Only I battled a private solo plight in the early 1980’s. In Weiss’s essay in Vogue, she described her actions to get her 7-year-old daughter, Bea, to normalize her weight, while igniting a public backlash and a nationwide fury. Could she have sold her daughter out to further her writing career while setting Bea up for a lifetime of eating problems? Not so. My daughter is now in her 30’s and has followed through on my teachings with balanced eating and watches the addiction component to sugar and white flour. I on the other hand have been diagnosed at the Cleveland Clinic to have fructose intolerance and Celiac Disease making these foods an extremely

painful problem. No wonder I intuitively sensed these were poisonous foods to my children through their genetics. In my book Not Your Mother’s Diet I describe eating disorders and eating issues such as obesity for family health.

“People or presumed authorities take issue with certain aspects of my methods,” as a psychotherapist/Life Coach specializing in eating disorders I stand firm. But very loud voices were telling me I had to recommend this approach, or that no foods should be eliminated from ones’ diet, or that dieting never works, or body acceptance and the idea of Health at Every

Size, which, according to Linda Bacon, author of the book by the same name, “acknowledges that good health can best be realized independent from considerations of size”. It was frustrating, and the things I was hearing became fodder for guilt. But I never made my daughter feel bad about how she looked or what she weighed. I let her learn by experience and I was there to support her.”

“In The Heavy, Weiss’s book she flashes back to the pediatrician’s office, where her 7-year-old Bea had checked in at 4 feet 4 inches tall and 93 pounds. That’s about 30 pounds more than she should have weighed. Despite a year of inconsistent effort—portion control and subtle lifestyle changes—Bea had gained 23 pounds, and her blood pressure was 124 over 80, up from 100 over 68 a year before. She was no longer simply overweight. She was obese.

Although Weiss and the pediatrician had been discussing Bea’s escalating weight at their annual appointments for half of Bea’s life, it hadn’t become clear until that point that serious intervention was necessary.”

So this is what Weiss did. She put her 7-year-old daughter on a diet. Oh no the “diet word.” Specifically, a calorie-counting plan, linked with weekly weigh-ins at a nutritionist’s office. The entire Weiss family implemented the same pediatricianrecommended program, using different calorie levels. “I liked that it was about quantity, and we could decide how to allocate the calories,” Weiss says. “It had to be done in a healthful way, but nothing was off limits—no food groups were removed.”

This makes sense and can be a model for families to follow for health not just for weight issues.

Stocking processed treats and snacks can be daunting when you want only organic for your children. Easily a major point of criticism among your critics or family members. This is tricky because organic produce is best. I recommend you acknowledge the “ironic twist.” It’s not only about food purity but it’s a way to keep your child from feeling deprived. Once or twice a day, let your child enjoy a 100-calorie

pack of muffins or yogurt-covered pretzels and a diet soda. Those treats will keep the motivated up with balanced meals the rest of the time. A point for moderation.

So policing the family diet isn’t easy and Mom, you can learn to use your creativity in this area. You’ll quickly realized how many forces stand in your way, from school birthday parties and lunches to other parents and restaurant meals. In your children’s classroom, for example, they may celebrate 28 student birthdays, which means 28 cupcakes at 300 calories a piece—or 8,400 extra calories each year. Weiss tells the story of a family meal at a friend’s home, when the hostess insisted Bea eat a salad drenched with dressing, even after Weiss said no, it was too unhealthy.”

You’ll learn you have to be “the heavy,” holding the line with your inner strength.

That means, for example, calling your child’s teacher to see what kind of treats would be served on Valentine’s Day, and asking parents what they’d be serving at their child’s birthday party, so you can deduce impact. Weiss also requested that Bea’s summer camp monitor her daughter through the cafeteria line each day. “It required a lot of vigilance,” Weiss says. “People thought I was crazy, and I just had to accept that. Not everyone is willing to go through the time and inconvenience and embarrassment I did. It’s incredibly unpleasant.”

Unpleasant, yes but so worth it. Standing your ground for what you know to be true is sturdy love. Now I see my daughters in their 30s enjoying healthy foods and moderation in portions. Whereas, my obese grandmother died of diabetic complications and my three aunts were obese with heart problems. Genetics or today’s commercial approaches don’t have to have the last say in your health.

You have the power to change your family’s health within you. All it takes is the willingness to find it.

Compassionate Swim lessons for Infants and Toddlers Begin with PLAY!

T

he legendary infant-pre-school educator and physician Maria Montessori once famously said, “Play is the work of children.”

And if water is the classroom, infants 3 months thru 4 years old respond naturally if the emphasis is on play. There should be an enriched environment full of toys and manipulatives, colors, textures, songs.

A baby swim school when it is compassionate and child-centered should be joyful, positive and lifeaffirming. It should not be about fear, negativity, or appear like a boot camp where skills dominate over the well-being of the child and where tears, choking, forced back float or screaming prevail.

It is not by accident that our entire format, focus and methodology at Serenity Swim at Lifestyle Swim School relies on play and learning through play. If a child is relaxed, happy, receptive and playing he is at a state of being where he is open and ready to learn. In other words, he is not stressed, anxious, tense, wary, unreceptive and closed. Instead, he is so engaged in the moment, in playing, in the game, that there is no room or space for the negative. Our school is as much about developing as a human as it is about becoming a water citizen. It is about teaching compassionately, modeling compassion and allowing parents to nurture their growing child at his own unique pace.

So how do we suggest you add more play into your individual class experience or at home in your own pool? Here are some tips: Leave Serious Behind…Sing, Laugh, Smile, Be Silly!

Children constantly watch our faces, listen to the inflexions in our voices, read our body language looking for cues about their world. This is your time to let loose and play, too! No one is judging…you want to put your sunglasses on a water puppet?… you want to make a fish “talk”?…shoot a basket in a floating basketball hoop?...go ahead and enjoy! When your child senses your playfulness she reacts in turn by softening up, relaxing and really enjoying the water classroom and its activities. Learn what makes your baby laugh!

Be In The Moment Each of our classes is approximately 30 minutes long…but we hope you’ll practice mindfulness all day long with your child.

Enjoy being fully with them---every detail---all your senses! Enjoy being together in the water, under the sun and in the fresh air.

Enjoy how it takes her “forever” to pick out the one perfect toy to chase in the water. How he remains fascinated by water flowing over a water wheel even after the 10th time. Watch her tiny feet making little kicks through the water. Note that beaming smile after a swim or a new accomplishment. Be here now, savor it, store the memory.

Compassion is empathy made tangible by kindness. Respect and honor your child for where they are at the moment…take your

22

Palm Beach Edition

time and let them learn at their own pace working gracefully through any trepidations or hesitations.

Read your child’s non-verbal cues and act as you would like to be treated!

And in that same vein…don’t take yourself out of the moment by stressing on what they are not doing!!! “When is he going to (kick, jump, stop clinging, get back to the wall, float)” “When will she (submerge, relax, recover for a breath)”, “Why doesn’t she…why can’t she….” only creates a negative focus on your adult expectations rather than being fully with your child where she is now and accepting her. Play with her and enjoy her…praise her for small accomplishments. Refocus on play rather than skills….skills will come successfully through play.

Be in the moment…there is no time frame. Remember your child lives in a world of moments…we adults wear watches and keep calendars, develop charts, make lists…a child wears a smile!

Use Your Words We humans understand language long before we can speak it or write it. Words can immerse a child in play .

So narrate your swim class or home pool activity with words that indicate your “togetherness” as a pair at play. Focus your storytelling on a game or a fun task. For instance, at the Water Pouring Station you could say, “ Oooo…look, I see a green frog watering can. Let’s go see if we can pour water from the frog over the baby doll. I think the baby likes that…I think your toes would like that…and now, maybe Mommy’s hair would like it!”

Instead of “Why aren’t you kicking?” (like you’re actually going to get an answer to that one!!!”) turn that skill drill into a game…

“My goodness, the ball is floating away!! Let’s go catch it…go fast with me to catch it…let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…we almost have it…more, faster…See, we got it!!!!!”

Teaching a baby to swim with compassion is simply a natural extension of living compassionately…applying the choice to treat with conscious, kind intent every task at hand. Enjoy the pool play because learning can, and should, be fun!!

hat is freedom? “If you were to randomly ask people of this country if they are free, the response would most likely be, ‘Yes, I am free. I have the freedom to make my own decisions, and the liberty to live my life as I see fit.’ We all recognize that as freedom, but is it really?” asks Brother Jayananda, a long-time monk of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF)—founded in 1920 by Paramahansa Yogananda.

“What about being free from those things that are detrimental to our real and lasting happiness – bad habits, fears, nagging worries, and depressing moods? How can we achieve freedom from those inner things as well? Meditation shows us how to achieve this. Through daily, deep meditation we find an ever-increasing joy and sense of well-being bubbling up from within as we go through our daily activities. And as that happens,” says Brother Jayananda, “we begin to experience what real freedom is.”

It is the quest for freedom in this truest sense that draws thousands of yogis from all over the U.S., the U.K, Brazil, South Korea, Malaysia, and some 40 other countries to the Self-Realization Fellowship World Convocation event in Los Angeles, year after year. For these devoted spiritual seekers, the week-long retreat, to be held this year from August 4 to 10, is a unique opportunity for immense spiritual grounding and renewal.

The special week, held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, offers immersion into the yoga meditation teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi. The week’s programs include group meditations, How-to-Live classes, kirtans (devotional chanting), spiritual counsel, and fellowship.

While some of the program activities are open only to students of the SRF Lessons, evening classes on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda are available to the public ($20/ class), offering a positive sense of direction for managing the often burdensome challenges of daily life. Monday night’s lecture, “Meditation: The Soul-Satisfying Journey to Spiritual Freedom,” will impart effective tools in achieving real inner peace. Other lecture topics will include “Achieving Your Material and Spiritual Goals,” “Living a Spiritually Balanced Life in Today’s Complex World,” and “Spiritual Happiness: Tapping into the Soul’s Storehouse of Peace, Love, and Joy.”

Attendees who have traveled from outside the region to attend Convocation are given the opportunity to continue their pilgrimage once at the event. Tours are offered throughout the week to several of the temples and spiritual sanctuaries established by Yogananda in Southern California, including the SRF Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades –– a shrine and meditation garden dedicated to all religions that includes the Mahatma Gandhi World Peace Memorial.

UMBILICAL CORD BINGO

Never Too Old to Quit

E

ven smokers 60 and over can live longer if they quit, according to a 2012 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. Three experts from the German Cancer Research Center, in Heidelberg, analyzed 17 studies from the United States, Australia, China, England, France, Japan and Spain that followed groups of between 863 and 877,243 people for periods ranging from three to 50 years.

Findings showed that the longer a person had been classified as a former, rather than current, smoker, the more their risk of premature death decreased. The researchers also observed that current smokers showed the highest absolute mortality rates in all the studies.

Dr. Tai Hing Lam, of the University of Hong Kong, observes that for people in their 60s, quitting was linked to a 21 percent decrease in the risk of premature death.

The risk was reduced by 27 percent for those in their 70s and by 24 percent for individuals in their 80s. Lam added that the World Health Organization’s statistic that one out of every two smokers will die from their habit should be printed on all cigarette packages, “…so that all smokers know they are betting their lives on the toss of a coin.”

Glories of Growing Up Grateful

G

ratitude gifts teens with better mental health, according to researchers at California State University. Thankful teens are more apt to be happy and less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol or have behavior problems at school than their less grateful peers.

The researchers asked 700 students, ages 10 to 14, to complete questionnaires initially, and again four years later. Teens that reported practicing the most gratitude at the end of the study enjoyed a 15 percent greater sense of meaning in life, became 15 percent more satisfied with their life overall (at home, at school and with their neighborhood, friends and themselves) and grew 17 percent more happy and hopeful about their lives, plus experienced 13 and 15 percent drops in negative emotions and depressive symptoms, respectively.

“These findings suggest that gratitude may be strongly linked with life skills such as cooperation, purpose, creativity and persistence,” making it “a vital resource that parents, teachers and others that work with young people should help youth build up as they grow up,” says lead author Giacomo Bono, Ph.D., a psychology professor at California State University-Dominguez Hills. “More gratitude may be precisely what our society needs to raise a generation that is ready to make a difference in the world.”

T

he Manchester Guardian reports that childbirth experts in the United Kingdom are urging the National Health Service (NHS) to reverse its policy on early clamping and cutting of a newborn’s umbilical cord. A recent Swedish study of 400 full-term infants from low-risk pregnancies published in the British Medical Journal found that delayed cord-clamping at birth resulted in infants being 5 percent less likely of being anemic two days later or iron deficient four months later. The latter problem has been associated with impaired brain development.

The practice of separating infants from the placenta within 10 seconds of delivery has been commonplace since the 1960s, as supported by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which advises the NHS. However, several doctors, medical organizations and the nonprofit National Childbirth Trust (NCT), plus the World Health Organization, disagree; they advocate leaving the placenta untouched for at least 30 seconds up to whenever it stops pulsating naturally (usually between two to five minutes). Exceptions would be if the baby’s or mother’s health necessitates medical intervention.

“At birth, about a third of the baby’s blood is still in his or her cord and placenta,” explains Belinda Phipps, NCT chief executive. Unfortunately, “It is still accepted practice to deprive the baby of this blood.”

Another Plus for Natural Birth

A

team of researchers at the Yale School of Medicine, in New Haven, Connecticut, has found that vaginal birth triggers the expression of a protein, UCP2 (mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2), in the brains of newborns that improves brain development and function in adulthood. It influences neurons and circuits in the hippocampus, the area responsible for memory.

The protein is also involved in the cellular metabolism of fat, a key component of breast milk, suggesting that induction of UCP2 by natural birth may aid the transition to breastfeeding. The researchers also found that this protein expression is impaired in the brains of babies delivered by Caesarean section.

These results suggest, “The increasing prevalence of C-sections, driven by convenience rather than medical necessity, may have a previously unsuspected lasting effect on brain development and function in humans,” observes Tamas Horvath, chair of Yale’s Department of Comparative Medicine.

Bounce House Boo-Boos

A

staple at amusement parks, fast-food restaurants and kids’ backyard parties, inflatable bounce houses look and sound like a lot of fun—yet can cause problems. “I was surprised by the number of injuries, especially by the rapid increase,” says Dr. Gary A. Smith, lead author of a recent study by the Center for Injury Research and Policy that he founded at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital, in Columbus, Ohio.

From fewer than 1,000 injuries sending kids 17 and under to emergency rooms in 1995, the number skyrocketed to nearly 11,000 in 2010. Most injuries result from falls or collisions within the bounce houses or from falling out of them; only 3 percent required a hospital stay.

Bounce house injuries are similar to those associated with trampolines, and more than a third of the study injuries involved children 5 and younger. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends against letting children younger than 6 use full-size trampolines, and Smith says barring that age group from even smaller, homeuse bounce houses makes sense. In addition, the commission recommends limiting use to fewer bouncers at a time and not allowing younger children to participate at the same time as older kids.

BLOGGING AWAY TEEN TROUBLES

A

dolescent angst, formerly vented in private “Dear diary” entries, is now shared with others in blogs—with positive effect. According to a recent study published in the journal Psychological Services, interactively engaging with an online community is an effective way for teens to relieve social distress. Researchers recruited 161 teenagers that exhibited some level of social anxiety or stress and asked them to blog, with one group opening their posts to comments. Bloggers that wrote about their problems and allowed readers to respond reported the greatest improvement in mood. The comments on blogs were overwhelmingly positive, offering constructive support.

COLORFUL PLATES FOR PICKY EATERS

P

arents trying to entice fussy eaters to sample more nutritionally diverse diets have a surprising strategy at hand: color. A study at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, has shown that colorful fare—specifically, food plates with seven different items and six colors—appear to be particularly favored by children. In contrast, adults tend to prefer fewer colors on one plate—only three items and three hues.

he International Society for Horticultural Science named the elderberry its 2013 Herb of the Year for good reason.

In June, scientists gathered in Columbia, Missouri, to share research on the potential of elderberries and elder flowers for preventing and treating illnesses at the first International Elderberry Symposium.

For example, Dennis Lubahn, director of the University of Missouri’s Center for Botanical Interaction Studies, and his team are researching the molecular mechanisms behind elderberry’s folk medicine legacy; specifically, how the berries might help prevent strokes, prostate cancer and inflammation while boosting an individual’s resistance to infectious diseases. Preliminary results show that just two tablespoons of elderberry juice per day appear to offer protection against prostate cancer.

Madeleine Mumcuoglu, Ph.D., from the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical Center, in Jerusalem, explained how the yet unnamed active principle in elderberry blocks viruses from entering human cells. She believes that elderberry extract holds significant potential for preventing and reducing symptoms of the flu, including avian flu and swine flu, plus HIV and the herpes simplex virus. The effective dose may be just one tablespoon a day.

While Mumcuoglu believes elderberry extract is safe, she does not recommend it for pregnant women or those with autoimmune diseases, because it is a known immune system stimulant. “It may be completely risk-free,” she says. “We simply don’t yet have adequate data for proof.”

new study conducted by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, suggests that young children are intrinsically motivated to see others helped. The researchers observed three groups of 2-year-olds that all saw an adult dropping a small item and struggling to pick it up.

One group was allowed to intervene and help the adult.

Another group was held back from helping by their parents. The third group watched the adult receive help from another adult.

The researchers found that children’s feelings of sympathy (measured by dilated pupil size, which corresponds to increased feelings of concern) were twice as high when they were unable to help the adult and no help was provided, compared to the same indicator when they were able to provide assistance. Ten of the 12 children that were allowed to help did so.

The toddlers’ concerns likewise decreased when they watched someone else help the adult. The study’s authors concluded that young children’s helping behavior does not require that they perform the behavior themselves and receive “credit” for it, but requires only that the other person is helped. Thus, from an early age, humans seem to have genuine concern for the welfare of others.

Shifting Priorities

A Dose of Awe Can Make a Teen More Caring A meta-analysis published in the Personality and Social Psychology Review suggests that experiencing awe helps young people focus less on themselves and more on the world around them. Exposure to natural wonders and accounts of great human accomplishments can do the trick.

It’s a helpful strategy, given that narcissism is on the rise and college students have become dramatically less empathetic over the years, particularly since 2000.

Sixty-four percent of respondents ages 18 to 25 surveyed thought getting rich is their most important goal, while only 30 percent believed that helping others in need is important.

Awe humbles us in the presence of something greater than ourselves. Experiencing it during adolescence, a period crucial in the formation of self-identity, could help coax teens out of their, “I am the center of the world,” funk and put them on a path to a life lived in compassionate connection with others.

High-Tech Teachers

Students Use Smartphones to Study Highlighting the potential for digital learning, a new survey by the Verizon Foundation has found that a third of middle school students are already using mobile apps on smartphones to do schoolwork and collaborate with peers on projects. Beyond accessing information via the Internet, students often turn to free apps to play games that help them master math concepts, virtually dissect an animal or analyze clouds and concepts of condensation and more.

The Verizon Foundation offers training to educators on integrating mobile technology into lesson plans by partnering with the nonprofit Technology Student Association and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Together, they are sponsoring the Innovative App Challenge, in which hundreds of middle and high school student teams are conceptualizing mobile apps that incorporate science/technology/engineering/ mathematics (STEM) activities to solve a problem in their school or community. Ten teams won personal smartphones and $10,000 grants for their schools, plus assistance in creating their apps and bringing them to the public earlier this year. Verizon expects to launch a new edition of the program this fall.

GM-Oh-Oh

GMOs Threaten Wheat Exports America lags behind the world in limiting, banning or even labeling genetically modified (GE, GM or GMO) crops, and now Japan has suspended some imports from the United States because of the discovery of unapproved GM wheat in Oregon. The European Union is weighing similar action. Serious economic implications stem from the fact that many countries will not accept imports of genetically modified foods, and the U.S. exports about half of its annual wheat crop.

The Washington Post reports the presence of GMO wheat on an 80-acre field in Oregon as a mystery. Monsanto tested a similar strain in Oregon between 1994 and 2005, but the product was never approved for commercial use. The strain was identified in the state when a farmer tried clearing a field using Monsanto’s herbicide and discovered that the wheat could not be killed.

Blake Rowe, CEO of the Oregon Wheat Commission, says that reductions in Northwest wheat sales would affect farmers in Idaho and Washington as well as Oregon, because the wheat is blended together. Oregon sold $492 million of wheat in 2011; 90 percent of it went overseas.

Blighted Icon

Chestnut Tree Comeback on the Horizon The American chestnut tree once dominated the American landscape from Georgia to Maine, providing the raw materials that fueled our young nation’s westward expansion and inspiring writings by Longfellow and Thoreau. But by the 1950s, the trees, stricken by blight, were all but extinct. Now, after 30 years of breeding and crossbreeding, The American Chestnut Foundation believes it has developed a potentially blight-resistant tree, dubbed the Restoration Chestnut 1.0.

The group has adopted a master plan for planting millions of trees in the 19 states of the chestnut’s original range. This year, volunteers in state chapters are establishing seed orchards that will produce regionally adapted nuts for transplanting into the wild.

Collateral Damage

Disappearing Wild Pollinators Spell Disaster The perilous decline of domestic honeybees due to the widespread occurrence of colony collapse disorder continues to make news, but wild bees and other insects are often overlooked, even though they are twice as effective in producing seeds and fruit on crops, according to a study of 41 crops in 600 fields worldwide

by Argentina’s research network, CONICET. For the first time, scientists have a handle on the huge contribution of wild insects, showing that honeybees cannot replace the wild insects lost as their habitat is increasingly destroyed.

Study leader Lucas Garibaldi, of Argentina’s National University, in Río Negro, says that relying on honeybees is a highly risky strategy, because disease can sweep through a single species and it may not adapt to environmental changes as well as wild pollinators. Also, trucking in managed honeybee hives does not replace native pollinators, which visit more plants, resulting in more effective cross-pollination; honeybees tend to carry pollen from one flower to another on the same plant.

Pricey Bottled Water May Come from a Tap Peter Gleick, the author of Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water, found that most companies are cagey about revealing the source of their water. “There’s no legal requirement that they say on their label where the water comes from, and they don’t like to advertise that fact,” says Gleick. As a result, most Americans don’t know much about the origins of what we spend $11 billion a year on.

In order to be called “spring water”, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a product has to be either “collected at the point where water flows naturally to the Earth’s surface or from a borehole that taps into the underground source.” Other terms aren’t regulated. Gleick found that about 55 percent of bottled waters are spring water. The other 45 percent is mostly treated tap water, including Aquafina (Pepsi) and Dasani (Coke).

RETHINKING

CANCER A Brave New World of Effective Natural Therapies

by Linda Sechrist

S

usan Silberstein takes her message for preventing cancer and recurrences to medical and nursing schools, continuing oncology nursing education programs and universities from her BeatCancer.org headquarters in Richboro, Pennsylvania. The nonprofit organization provides research-based education and counseling on how to prevent, cope with and beat cancer through immune-boosting holistic approaches. Since 1977, it has helped nearly 30,000 cancer patients and more than 50,000 prevention seekers.

“Early detection is better than late detection, but it’s not prevention,” says Silberstein, who taught the psychology of

32

health and disease at Pennsylvania’s Immaculata University. “We focus on building up patients—minimizing treatment side effects, enhancing immune system function, improving nutritional status and addressing the reasons for sickness in the first place.”

“Conventional medicine never addresses the cause, which is a process that needs to be understood so the individual can turn it off,” elaborates Massachusetts Institute of Technology-trained scientist Raymond Francis, author of Never Fear Cancer Again: How to Prevent and Reverse Cancer. Based on his experience beating cancer and research into cellular

Palm Beach Edition

biochemistry and molecular biology, he concluded that the disease is a biological process that affects the entire body, not something that can be cut out, killed or poisoned.

“Central to healing and prevention is the elimination of things that fuel the growth of cancer cells, such as sugar, toxins, heavy metals, nutrient-deficient processed foods and an acidic environment in the body,” observes Francis.

“Regular exercise, a daily, high-quality multivitamin and detoxification are equally crucial to restoring the body’s biological terrain.”

Doctor of Naturopathy Judy Seeger, founder of CancerCleanseCamp.com and host of CancerAnswers.TV and Cancer Winner Radio, recommends both a regular detoxification regimen and ongoing healthy nutritional plan to help maintain a healing alkaline environment.

While this helps cleanse the body of environmental toxins, the toxic emotions and stress that produce acid, weaken the immune system and create an environment for cancer to propagate, must also be dealt with.

Experts generally agree on a range of basic, commonsense preventive measures that include a low-fat, plant-based diet; aerobic, flexibility and strength exercises; healthy sleep habits; and other stress-reducing activities. “These are basic ingredients for maintaining sound health, and can be crucial toward improving the health of an individual with cancer,” says Dr. Keith Block, the “father of integrative oncology,” and author of Life Over Cancer. He founded The Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment, in Skokie, Illinois, that customizes care plans based on each person’s medical, biochemical, physical, nutritional and psychosocial needs.

Nourish Biochemistry

Thousands of cancer patients have outlived their “medical expiration date” by using alternative nontoxic treatments and approaches, many of which are documented in Outsmart Your Cancer, by Tanya Harter Pierce.

Lou Dina, a cancer survivor who like Francis, underwent a journey of intensive research, became a patient advocate and authored Cancer: A Rational Approach

“When it comes to one’s lifetime risk of cancer, healthy diet and lifestyle choices can make all the difference.” ~ Susan Silberstein, Ph.D., founder and president of the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education to Long-Term Recovery. Dina speaks at conventions hosted by the Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Therapy (FACT), founded in 1971 by Ruth Sackman. He also appears with other survivors in the FACT documentary based on Sackman’s book, Rethinking Cancer: Non-Traditional Approaches to the Theories, Treatments and Prevention of Cancer.

From decades of findings by international clinicians, FACT educates practitioners and patients to view chronic degenerative diseases as systematic malfunctions caused by breakdowns in the balance of body chemistry that are subject to bio-repair. However manifested, they are viewed as correctable and controllable via an individualized program that includes a balanced diet of whole, unprocessed, organic foods—spurred by Gerson therapy that floods the body with organically grown nutrients—supplementation and detoxification. Other key measures involve body temperature therapy, cellular and stem cell therapies and the use of botanicals.

“Nutrients in food directly impact the mechanisms by which cancer cells grow and spread,” explains Block. “They also indirectly impact cancer by changing the surrounding biochemical conditions that either promote or inhibit the progression of malignant disease. This is why targeting only tumors is not enough to quash cancer. Conventional cancer therapies almost inevitably leave behind at least a small number of malignant cells. Your internal biochemical terrain plays an integral role in determining whether a tumor will regain a foothold after treatment, metastasize to distant sites or stay where it is without posing a threat.”

Block notes that a healthy biochemistry can help prevent unpleasant and possibly life-threatening, complications.

An anti-cancer biochemical terrain will even boost a patient’s overall quality of life. At the Block Center, detailed assessments identify disruptions in six defining features of patients’ biochemical ter-

rain—oxidation, inflammation, immunity, blood coagulation, glycemia and stress chemistry. Cancer thrives on terrain disruptions, which also can impair treatment.

Focus on High-Impact Foods

Kathy Bero, founder of NuGenesis Inc., in Stone Bank, Wisconsin, asks, “How many other lives could be saved if doctors prescribed a diet primarily focused on plant-based, angiogenic-inhibiting foods for all cancer patients?”

Angiogenesis is the development of new blood vessels. Cancer turns the body against itself by hijacking the angiogenesis process and keeping it permanently activated, ensuring that cancerous cells receive a dedicated, uninterrupted blood supply. “To effectively prevent cancer, inflammation and angiogenesis need to be controlled before a tumor can get a foothold,” advises Bero.

Bero has personally beaten back two unrelated aggressive forms of cancer and credits the angiogenic-inhibiting foods in clinical research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, and

the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha.

Examples include green tea, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, grapefruit, lemons, tomatoes, cinnamon, kale, grape seed oil and pomegranate.

“These foods also played a significant role in strengthening my immune system and restoring my overall health, which was radically affected by many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation,” remarks Bero.

Boost Recuperative Powers

Patrick Quillin, Ph.D., a former vice president of nutrition for a national network of cancer hospitals and author of The Wisdom and Healing Power of Whole Foods and Beating Cancer with Nutrition, recommends a triple threat. “Cancer requires a threefold treatment approach to create a synergistic response. Teaming up to reduce the tumor burden without harming the patient, re-regulate the cancer to normal healthy tissue and nourish the patient’s recuperative powers is far better than any one approach,” says Quillin.

August 2013

He maintains that restrained medical interventions, appropriate nutrition and naturopathic approaches can bolster nonspecific natural defense mechanisms to reverse the underlying cause of the disease. “Nutrition and traditional oncology treatments are synergistic, not antagonistic, as many oncologists believe,” advises Quillin.

Glenn Sabin, founder of FON Therapeutics, similarly suggests that multiinterventional, outcome-based studies, akin to Dr. Dean Ornish’s approach to prostate cancer, could greatly benefit conventional oncology. Sabin recounts his Harvard Medical School-documented remission of advanced leukemia in his upcoming book, N-of-1: How One Man’s Triumph Over Terminal Cancer is Changing the Medical Establishment.

Sabin turned to therapeutic nutrition, neutraceuticals, stress reduction and exercise to become a 22-year cancer “thriver” without the aid of conventional therapies. He also emphasizes the importance of the psychological and psychosocial aspects of healing with the cancer patients he coaches. “If you don’t have your head in the game, it’s hard to make anything else work for you,” counsels Sabin.

Understand the Connection

Silberstein and other leading physicians, including Dr. Tien-Sheng Hsu, a Chinese psychiatrist and author of the Secret to

“I talk to people who do all the right things to improve their biochemistry, but without an emotional detox and spiritual connection to something larger than themselves, their healing process tends to stall.” ~ Doctor of Naturopathy Judy Seeger Healing Cancer; Dr. Jingduan Yang, a board-certified psychiatrist and founder and medical director of the Tao Institute of Mind & Body Medicine; and Seeger, believe that the mind and spirit play a significant role in healing.

“Cancer begins in the spirit and ends up in the body, which is why I recommend that anyone positively diagnosed read the Cancer Report,” remarks Silberstein. Cancer Report, co-written by John R. Voell and Cynthia A. Chatfield, discusses psychoneuroimmunology and the powerful role that the mind, emotions and spirit play in contributing to or resisting disease and healing even the most terminal of cancers (Tinyurl.com/ VoellCancerReport).

Yang and Hsu, who also use acupuncture protocols, believe illness is a reflection of inner problems that disrupt the body’s naturally powerful immune system. “Cancer is a symptom delivering a message: You need to take better care of yourself—emotionally, chemically, physically and spiritually,” says Yang. As a faculty member of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, Yang sees firsthand how few patients understand that the trauma of a diagnosis and treatment can reactivate past traumas, unresolved issues, blockages and repressed emotions. Both he and Hsu offer mind/body/spirit interventions to help patients cope better.

“I talk to people who do all the right things to improve their biochemistry, but without an emotional detox and spiritual connection to something larger than themselves, their healing process tends to stall,” Seeger observes. Her online talk shows feature long-term cancer survivors like Dr. Carl Helvie, author of You Can Beat Lung Cancer Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions.

“It all comes down to the microcosm of the cell. If we give our 73 trillion cells everything they need, the macrocosm of the body will function properly,” says Francis. The authors of Cancer Killers, Dr. Charles Majors, Dr. Ben Lerner and Sayer Ji, agree. Up till now, they attest that the war on cancer has been almost exclusively an assault on the disease, rather than an enlightened preventive campaign that clearly identifies and counters how cancer develops.

“The battle can only be won by instructing people in how to boost their body’s immune responses to kill cancer cells before they face a full-blown diagnosis and showing them how to aggressively address the hostile exterior agents that turn healthy cells cancerous.”

The best winning strategy is to naturally nurture a body—structurally, chemically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually—so that the inner terrain naturally kills cancer cells and stops them from growing.

Nature’s Antibiotics Recover Health with Less Risk

by Kathleen Barnes

We live in a world of microbes: bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens that can make us sick. Most of the time, our immune systems are able to fight off microbial attacks, yet we’ve all experienced unsettling infections.

When Use Becomes Overuse

In recent years, conventional medicine has increasingly used antibiotics as a universal remedy against all kinds of microbial attacks—even though they are ineffective against anything except bacterial infections. It’s best to use them selectively and cautiously when nothing else will do the job, because by definition, they are “opposed to life.” The worst-case scenario is what we have now: overuse creating “superbugs,” able to multiply out of control, sometimes with fatal consequences, even when treated with antibiotics that used to work.

“Antibiotics are helpful and effective when used properly when there is a bacterial infection such as strep throat, urinary tract infection, bacterial pneumonia or a wound that has become infected,” explains Doctor of Naturopathy Trevor Holly Cates, of Waldorf Astoria Spa, in Park City, Utah. “But antibiotics are so overused and overprescribed that bacteria are changing in ways to resist them. This has become a significant public health problem.”

National and global public health officials have expressed increasing concerns about dangers posed by such bacteria, including methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), which are often transmitted between patients in hospital settings, and a multiantibiotic-resistant form of tuberculosis.

36

The problem is compounded by the use of antibiotics to enhance growth and production in livestock. A variety of superbugs have been found in meat, poultry and milk products, according to the nonprofits Center for Science in the Public Interest and Environmental Working Group.

Chris Kilham, a worldwide medicine hunter who teaches ethnobotany at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, explains the transmission. “When you eat conventionally raised meat, you’re not getting antibiotics, but you are getting bits of self-replicating genetic material that transfer antibiotic resistance to your body, which can prove fatal.”

Preferred Alternatives

Fortunately, there are many natural substances that have proven to be effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi and other infectious microbial pathogens—all without dangerous side effects. Here’s a short list:

Propolis, sometimes called “bee glue”, produced by bees to seal their hives and protect them from infections, is “the single most powerful antimicrobial we have in the plant kingdom,” advises Kilham. That claim is backed by numerous studies from institutions such as Britain’s National Heart and Long Institute, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Harokopio University, in Greece.

In 2005, a study by Turkey’s Hacette-

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

pe University showed that propolis killed both MRSA and VRE bacteria. Other studies by Italy’s University of Milan have shown propolis’ effectiveness in combating upper respiratory infections and Candida albicans fungal infections. Propolis is also available in pill form.

Pelargonium sidoides is a favored option for Cates to abbreviate both the duration and severity of cold and flu, including any lingering cough or sore throat. This South African medicinal is also known as African geranium. Usually used in tincture form, it’s also useful against a large range of microbial infections.

One study from the Russian Institute of Pulmonology reported that nearly 70 percent of participating adults with bronchitis received relief within four days— more than double those that became well taking a placebo.

Olive leaf extract was first mentioned in the Bible and recent research confirms its effectiveness against a wide variety of microbial infections. A U.S. Department of Agriculture study published in the Journal of Food Science confirms that olive leaf extract is effective in fighting food-borne pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, labeling it a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. New York University School of Medicine research published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications showed that olive leaf extract reversed many HIV-related changes in the immune system.

Retired medical journalist Dr. Morton Walker, author of Nature’s Antibiotic: Olive Leaf Extract, wrote that olive leaf extract “inhibits the growth of every virus, bacterium, fungus, yeast and protozoan it was tested against… and is effective against a minimum of 56 disease-causing organisms.”

In a worst-case scenario, “If antibiotics are the only alternative to treat a lab-confirmed bacterial infection, it’s vital to replace the beneficial intestinal bacteria inevitably wiped out by the drug,” concludes Cates. “Sometimes a few servings of a good natural yogurt (without sugar or fruit) will suffice. If not, look for a highquality probiotic to restore the digestive system’s natural bacterial colony.”

s youngsters head back to the classroom, parents can get their children off to a smart start by giving them key supplements. Here are some experts’ top picks.

Build Brains Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Because the brain’s nerve cell membranes are made of fat, ingesting a healthy fat—DHA—helps them stay lithe and limber enough to successfully fire off neurotransmitters, sharpening kids’ mental abilities. “Attention, focus, processing efficiency, memory—they’re all dependent on cells working effectively, and DHA will help,” says Randall Neustaedter, a doctor of Oriental medicine and author of The Holistic Baby Guide.

A contemporary study published in Clinical

Palm Beach Edition

Pediatrics found that 4-year-olds that ingested 400 mg a day of DHA for four months showed improvement in listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition skills.

Because finding an effective dose of pure DHA (at least 300 mg a day) can be difficult, Dr. Robert Rountree, coauthor of Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child, recommends administering liquid fish oil in a daily child’s dose of 800 to 1,500 mg at a ratio of 60 percent eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to 40 percent DHA. “Anti-inflammatory EPA can help allergies and inflammation from colds and other viruses kids get,” explains Neustaedter.

Algae can be a vegetarian substitute for fish oil, Neustaedter continues, but it contains only DHA, not EPA. Another vegetarian option, echium oil, internally converts to EPA at a one-to-one level, but not to DHA. Flaxseed oil is mostly alphalinolenic acid (ALA), which converts to DHA and EPA at a rate of only 3 to 7 percent.

Phosphatydylserine (PS). This form of fat facilitates communication among brain cells. “It’s a natural substance your brain makes,” notes Neustaedter.

Already highly regarded for its ability to enhance memory performance in older adults, it may also improve attention, concentration, learning, behavior and school performance in youngsters.

PS is found in small amounts in foods like eggs and soy. Therefore, Neus-

taedter recommends dietary supplementation of 100 mg a day for children that could use a brain booster. The best PS supplements are made from soy.

Improve Immunity Vitamin D. “It’s my top immune supplement choice for most children,” says Rountree. The vitamin is crucial for triggering the body’s natural immune system to react to and fight off infections. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that daily 1,200 international unit (IU) supplements of vitamin D3 reduced cases of seasonal flu in schoolchildren by more than 40 percent. Neustaedter recommends that school-aged children supplement with 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day. Unlike D2, D3 is natural and nontoxic, he says.

Probiotics. These “friendly” bacteria help reestablish beneficial intestinal flora to both assist digestion and immunity. “Eighty percent of the immune system is produced in the small intestine,” says Neustaedter. “Having a healthy small intestine will lead to a healthy immune system. Probiotics will go a long way to accomplishing that.”

Rountree recommends children receive a mixture of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria—at least 15 billion colony-forming units a day.

A study by an international team published in Pediatrics showed that probiotic supplements may reduce the incidence of fevers, coughs, runny noses and other infections in young children.

Elderberry. “If kids get frequent colds, elderberry can be helpful,” notes Neustaedter, who suggests that children take such extracts according to label instructions for acute sickness during the cold and flu season. He considers it a worthy antiviral and immune system stimulant.

Elderberry’s immune-boosting potential may be due to its ability to enhance antioxidant activity. Several studies, including one issued by the National Institutes of Health, have shown that black elderberry extract may shorten the duration of a bout of flu.

Soothe Stress Magnesium. “If kids have a hard time turning their minds off and going to sleep, calcium and magnesium will help,” Neustaedter advises. As a calming mineral, magnesium trumps calcium; because kids tend to need more calcium for their bones, the two nutrients are usually given together, adds Rountree. He recommends that children take 100 to 300 mg of magnesium daily, depending on their age and weight.

Lemon balm (melissa officinalis). To soothe anxiety, Rountree points to lemon balm as safe and gentle, yet effective. St. Mary’s Hospital, in Madison, Wisconsin, reports that researchers have found that lemon balm, in combination with other herbs like valerian, may ease restlessness, anxiety and sleep disorders. Kids can drink one to two cups of freshly brewed tea daily. For a tasty and convenient option, substitute glycerites; tinctures that use glycerin to extract the active constituents from herbs.

Go Plastic-Free Game On: Ways to Shrink Our Footprint

by Randy Kambic

Looking around us, we see plastic everywhere.

“The biggest lesson since I started is the joy of less—of buying less stuff and making do with what I already have.” ~ Beth Terry

B

esides the customary food and product packaging, plus store bags, consider all the nooks and crannies of our lives that plastic now permeates: eating utensils; baby and pet toys; computer keyboards and accessories; pens; eyeglasses; athletic footwear; backpacks; lighters; beauty care and pill containers; household cleaning bottles; ice cube trays; shaving razors; tool handles; hairbrushes and toothbrushes—even some facial scrubs, shampoos and chewing gum.

Beth Terry, author of Plastic Free: How I Kicked the Habit and How You Can Too, points out compelling reasons to take personal action. In 2007, this Oakland, California, resident saw a photo of the decomposed carcass of a Laysan albatross riddled with plastic bits in an article on water pollution.

“For several seconds, I could not breathe,” she writes. This seminal moment led her to further research, by

which she realized, “This plague of plastic chemicals is harming everyone, and especially the most vulnerable members of our planet—children and animals— and that is both unacceptable and unfair.”

She’s been working on going plastic-free ever since.

“I made a game of it; a fun, creative, step-by-step challenge,” she advises.

“You can’t go through the house and think you can get rid of all plastic immediately. As items get used up, you’ll find alternatives.” Once we are in the habit of staying alert to the plastic scourge, we’ll naturally spot opportunities for healthy change-ups.

Science Sounds the Alarm

In 2011, Harvard School of Public Health researchers made news by discovering that consuming one serving of canned food daily for five days led to significantly elevated urinary levels of bisphenolA (BPA). This plastic and epoxy resin

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

ingredient is found in the liners of many food and drink cans and sometimes in plastic bottles. It’s known to be a serious endocrine disrupter.

Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, altered functions of reproductive organs and other ailments have been linked to high BPA levels in several studies, including one cited in Endocrine Reviews journal. The Manchester Guardian also recently reported that the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety has stated that an unborn baby’s exposure to BPA through the mother could be linked to many health problems, including breast cancer later in life.

When plastics are subjected to stress—like heat, light or age—undisclosed additives used in their production for strength, flexibility and color can leach out and even contaminate lab results, as the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry found. Such chemicals can migrate into our digestive systems and through our skin; they can also off-gas into the air, according to a recent study by Weber State University’s Energy & Sustainability Office, in Ogden, Utah. Plus, unrecycled plastic materials can enter waterways and kill marine life through ingestion or entanglement (ocean garbage patches are major examples).

Reducing our own plastic footprint can both safeguard family health and prove that we are serious about pressuring industry to produce less of it.

The key, according to Terry, is not to be intimidated or overwhelmed by plastic overload, but persist in taking baby steps (see MyPlasticFreeLife.com).

How to Begin

As a starting point, Terry notes that plastic enables the long-distance food distribution system. Reducing food miles associated with our meals helps cut down on the use of plastic. In the kitchen, use airtight stainless steel containers or glass jars or simply refrigerate a bowl of food with a saucer on top to hold leftovers for the next day. Compost food waste. Reuse empty plastic food bags and line garbage cans with old newspapers instead of plastic bags.

Terry cautions, “People assume ev-

Milo Cress, of Burlington, Vermont, launched the national Be Straw Free campaign at age 10, when he realized that restaurants routinely give customers a plastic straw whether they want it or not. erything that carries the triangular symbol is accepted at all recycling facilities.

This is not the case. What isn’t accepted is landfilled or even incinerated.” Also, according to the city of Oakland’s Waste Management Department, she learned that “Much of what we put out for recycling goes to China, and their processing standards are not as strong as ours.”

In Plastic Free, the author provides scores of tips for borrowing, renting and sharing products; buying used plastic equipment if it’s a necessity;

and avoiding disposable packaging and paper products. Areas for improvement range from personal care and household cleaning products to bags, bottles, grocery shopping, takeout food, portable leftovers and lunches, plus durable goods. Activists will move on to also participate in area cleanups, donate to green organizations and write their legislators.

Your children will see what you’re all about by what you live rather than what you say. ~Wayne Dyer

Good Food on a Tight Budget Tips to Get Top Value from Each Dollar

by Kathleen Barnes

F

or many, the recent economic downturn has affected the way we shop for food. Even families that cook dinner at home most nights are struggling to afford the ingredients to make healthy meals, says Laura Seman, a senior manager for Cooking Matters, a national program that educates families in need about reaping the most from local food resources.

“Putting good food on the family table on a five-or-six-dollar-a-day per person budget is tough, but it’s possible,” advises Nutritionist Dawn Undurraga, a registered dietitian and co-author of the Environmental Working Group’s online publication, Good Food on a Tight Budget. “Even eating for one is doable for under $200 a month. When you fill your cart with the foods listed, you’re building health, lowering exposure to agricultural chemicals, protecting the environment and cutting grocery bills.”

In considering how consumers can maximize nutritional value in their spending, researchers examined 1,200 foods to help people get beyond the common perception that eating healthy is expensive. “We looked at food prices, nutrients, pesticides, environmental pollutants and artificial ingredients,” says Undurraga. “Then we chose the top 100 or so, based on balancing all of those factors.”

Think Outside the Box

Some of the EWG findings might surprise many of us:

4 Raw cabbage is the top-ranked food because of its price and high nutritional value as a cruciferous vegetable. For less than 10 cents a serving, it poses far fewer calories than potatoes and is a worthy addition to salads, soups and stir-fries.

42

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

4 The next highest marks for price and nutrition spotlight carrots, bananas, pears, watermelon and frozen broccoli, each at less than 30 cents a serving.

4 Bananas and pears usually cost less than apples, plus they customarily endure fewer pesticide applications.

4 The best animal protein award goes to roasted turkey; hot dogs ranked last.

4 The next-best animal protein identified is a whole chicken, roasted at the beginning of the week and used in various ways for future meals.

4 Fresh, whole carrots and sweet potatoes are among the best produce buys, but frozen corn and broccoli almost always cost less than their fresh equivalents and are just as nutritious.

4 A serving of oatmeal is half the cost of sugary processed cereals, plus it’s more filling and causes less fluctuation in blood sugar levels.

4 Canned salmon is almost always wild caught and is much cheaper than fresh, but be wary of BPA (bisphenol-A) migration from the can.

4 Queso blanco, a mild, soft, white cheese common in Latino cooking, is both less expensive and less processed than many other cheeses.

Change Our Routine

Tracie McMillan, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, author of the bestselling book, The American Way of Eating, learned how to eat on a tight budget as an undercover journalist. She had to budget for food based on wages working on a farm in California, in the produce department of a Michigan superstore and in a New York City restaurant kitchen. The task was even more difficult because she was determined to eat as healthy as possible.

“Time and energy are key ingredients when cooking from scratch,” says McMillan. “I was exhausted after a day spent working these physically demanding jobs and quickly became more apathetic about healthy food than I generally am.”

Without disposable funds for the fast-food route, cooking from scratch was mandatory. She learned how to soak beans overnight, cook a large pot of them and freeze helpings to reheat later. The cost was about 50 cents a meal, compared with $3 for two or three servings from a can.

Eggs, brown rice and sweet potatoes became an important—and healthy—part of her weekly diet. McMillan also gained a lasting affection for roasted vegetables, both as part of meals and as snacks. “I just cut up a couple of sweet potatoes, add some broccoli or beans or whatever

is cheap at the supermarket or farmers’ market, toss in a tablespoon of olive oil and I’m set for two or three days,” she says. Also, “I learned to use meat more as a seasoning than as a main course.”

Eat Well, Spend Less 4 Freeze cheese that starts going bad.

Defrosted cheese tastes best melted.

Don’t buy shredded cheese—shred it at home.

Raw nuts are often the less expensive option; roast them for a delicious snack. Freeze nuts so they’ll stay fresh longer.

4 Substitute yogurt for cream and sour cream in recipes. Drain yogurt in a coffee filter to thicken. To economize and reduce package waste, buy in volume and measure out small servings.

4 Whole or cut-up bone-in chicken can save money. Buy family-size packs on sale and freeze. Bake extra and use all week.

4 Cut and freeze fresh fruit when it’s on sale or overripe. Use later in smoothies, oatmeal or yogurt. To eliminate clumping, lay pieces on a tray to freeze or freeze pureed fruit in ice cube trays. When frozen, transfer to a bag.

4 Make sure the word “whole” is in the very first ingredient listed on the label. “Multigrain” or “wheat” language or a brown color isn’t enough.

4 Soak and cook dried beans to save money.

4 Before vegetables go bad, freeze them or make soup.

4 Stock up on veggies that store well in a cool, dry place. Potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, calabaza (squash and melons) and sweet potatoes hold their taste for several weeks. Frozen vegetables and cabbage keep well, too.

Thousands of women in 10 countries participate in Personal Renewal Groups based on her first book, The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal. Now, in a new book, Nurturing the Soul of Your Family, Trudeau helps empower families to handle the challenges of everyday life with harmony and ease.

How can individuals achieve more peace?

We realize peace by nurturing our hearts and souls with self-care, by slowing down and being gentle with ourselves.

It requires us to attune and respond to our own needs and desires in the present moment. Am I responding with compassion when I make mistakes? Am I saying no when I need to say no? Did I ask for and receive help when I needed it? This is self-care in day-to-day life. When we feel nurtured in ways aligned with our deeper needs, we’re able to more fully express our potential and relax into being who we truly are.

How does such caring show up in family dynamics?

When I’m feeling grumpy or irritable, I know that my inner cup is empty and I’m out of sync with my needs. When

Palm Beach Edition

we practice self-care, we are more present with our partner and children. We feel more generous, loving and playful, and it’s easier to weather crises and uncertainties. I believe that modeling self-love is one of the best ways to influence children’s self-esteem.

Why is it important for families to define what they value most?

It’s empowering for a family to anchor together around one key core value. Once you identify it, you all can make more conscious decisions. The value that my own family has chosen is compassion for one’s self and others. Creativity, spirituality, service or learning are others.

As kids grow into adolescence, it becomes more challenging to maintain balance; there are so many demands on a family’s time and attention. Mentally, we’re often overwhelmed by an expanding scope of activities and decisions. At any age, a lot of us are just reacting to whatever comes at us. But when we identify the values most important to us, it’s easier to know when to say yes and no to things, so that our actions become aligned with our priorities.

What is behind the rising appeal of living more simply?

Simplicity is alluring at a most basic level of our being; we crave it. We want to invest less energy in making decisions and have more space for life to organically un-

“Mom, tell them to surprise their kids—listen to them, have fun with them and just spend time with them.” ~ Jonah Trudeau, age 9 fold. We want to hit the pause button because we are overscheduled, overworked and overloaded with too much information. It can feel so good to be productive, and American culture rewards output. But we need to be mindful of balancing the harder task of ‘being’ with the seduction of doing, for we are at our most powerful when both of these energies are equal.

Five Reconnection Points n Be mindful of how and when the family uses technology. Put people first. n Tap the healing power of nature together. Take hikes, picnics and explore a local greenbelt. n Love the ones you’re with. Schedule regular time together to make sure it happens.

What role does spirituality play in fostering a healthy family life?

I hear a lot of parents say that they used to think that spirituality was separate from parenting. Then they woke up to the idea that being a parent is a spiritual practice, maybe the most profound one they will ever have. Connecting to the sacred in everyday life yields nurturing gifts we can enjoy with our children, not separate from them.

What is the most valuable advice that you offer to parents?

Pause to breathe in compassion and realize that our outer state is a reflection of our inner state. It helps us release whatever we’re dealing with and reconnect with ourselves and loved ones.

Small Daily Practices Make a Huge Difference

Where do we start?

If we are not currently living in alignment with what matters most to us, we can stop what we’re doing and coursecorrect. We have to define what simplicity looks like for us and can start by just slowing down. Do less to experience more. Unplug from technology. Try spending unscheduled, media-free time together. My family feels most nourished after weekends that we hardly did anything and just enjoyed connecting through simple pleasures.

n Define your family’s values and honor them.

by Renée Peterson Trudeau

regular spiritual practice grounds us and helps us navigate the challenges of just being human. It helps us stay awake, begin to let go, trust the rhythm and flow of life and relax into the beauty of our true nature.

Create Ritual – Meaningful rituals can be carefully planned events or casual, but regular remembrances, such as voicing gratitude before a family meal or greeting one another with a hug. Marking transitions and milestones in the lives of family members likewise connects everyone to the sacredness of daily living. We remember that life is more than to-do lists.

Cultivate Stillness – Quiet private contemplation through stillness, prayer, meditation or reflection is a daily way to connect with our inner wisdom and/or embrace a higher power, and can make the whole day better.

Practice Service to Others – The more we reach out and are present to one another, the stronger we become and the easier it is to understand our interconnection—that we’re all one.

Live in the Present – Many great spiritual teachers believe the answer to everything is to just “be here now,” and that our suffering and emotional distress would end if we simply stopped resist-

ing the present. When we temporarily suspend our desire to change things, we can embrace that where we are is exactly where we’re supposed to be.

Choose Happiness – Can we only be happy if things are going our way? Experts suggest that we’re born with the innate capacity to experience inner well-being and joy; it’s our birthright to feel good. We must remember to choose happiness in each present moment.

Play Together Stay Together

Teamwork Strengthens Family Ties

T

he adage that a family that plays together stays together is more valid than ever. Yes, healthy individual sports are good, but recreational activities that involve the whole family deliver bonus benefits—from more exercise for more people to fierce, yet fun bonding that affords fresh opportunities and makes memories worth revisiting.

Sample Scores

Baseball expands the father-and-son tradition of tossing a ball back and forth and turns a yard or local park into the family’s own Field of Dreams. Go inclusive and offer mitts to other family members, as well. Anyone not into throwing and catching can still participate by running around those that are passing the ball.

Basketball hoop shooting can be as loose or structured as participants like. A game known as Horse provides fun for family and friends. When someone scores a basket, others take their shot from the same spot on the court; those that miss are as-

signed a “penalty” letter of the word. In consecutive rounds, each player that reaches the complete word is eliminated until only one (that day’s winner) remains.

Bicycling beats a drive around town; it’s heart-friendly in more ways than one. Pedaling sustains satisfying group interaction, joyful aerobic exercise and a healthier planet. Local club rides and charity events add zest. For bicycle-friendly states, user tips, events and information on local clubs, check BicycleFriendlyCommunity.org, USACycling.org and RoadBikeJourney.com.

Disc golf moves the recreational pastime of Frisbeetossing to an intriguing level of competitive accuracy and whole-body exercise. Participants toss a flying disc toward and eventually into a raised basket at the end of each “hole” at a special course; the player with the fewest total tosses (like a golfer with the fewest total strokes) after nine or 18 holes, wins. Backyard putters practice getting closest to the pin and in. For more information, including local courses for this fast-growing sport, visit pdga.com.

Tennis for four is perfect for Mom, Dad and two offspring to strengthen skills and relationships via doubles play. Strategizing between partners engages teamwork and laughter.

Many nearby public parks or school courts are open in the summer. For tips or updates on local leagues, visit usta.com.

Benefits Transcend Exercise

According to Make Physical Activity a Family Event, a recent study sponsored by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, “Participating in family physical activities helps children gain life skills, as well as health benefits,” such as learning teamwork, leadership skills and quality decision-making. Other positive aspects cited include appreciating sportsmanship, positive role modeling and strengthening intrafamily relationships.

The study further recommends noncompetitive family activities to round out the potential for whole-family benefits.

Working in the yard, group scavenger hunts, early morning calisthenics before work and school, walking the dog and volunteering at a local shelter all make the grade.

Overall, when it comes to ways for eliciting healthy family recreation, the more, the merrier.

Our Own Ode of Joy Singing Heals Our Soul, Sets Us Free

by Jan Kortie

B

efore singing was part of any human culture, it was part of nature. Nature never tries hard; it just is. It grows and blossoms and flows. So does heartfelt singing—as a joyful expression of soul, of one’s essential being. It is giving and sharing. Most of all, it is alive.

Singing like this doesn’t ask for effort. But it does ask for courage. In expressing our longings, hopes and love, we may encounter fear, shame or sorrow. That’s part of the beauty and surprising simplicity of liberating ourselves through song, which can be equally cheerful, lighthearted and humorous, or insightfully confronting the challenging issues in our lives.

Some people make every effort to sing eloquently, but the joy of singing is just as fully accessible for those that can’t master the technical qualifications or even carry a tune. All we really need to do to achieve personal satisfaction is to sing what’s inside us, enabling who we are to emerge. That’s why singing is healing; it helps make us whole.

Giving emotional space to ourselves in song allows us to be heard in a special way; no two voices are alike because each is exactly suited to the individual.

Our innate tendency to sing, like other

forms of music, connects us with others and reminds us of ways in which we are attuned to one another. More natural than talking, the vibration of a singing voice is the most magical, direct way to connect our internal and external worlds.

It’s comforting to note that we can only sing off-key if we compare our voice to another’s. No child ever decides by himself that he can’t sing. A child spontaneously sings, dances and draws without preconception until an authority figure steps in with a discordant opinion.

Singing is a natural phenomenon as intuitive as breathing. It’s our right to sing freely, and so share our hearts and music with the world. As a soaring expression of love it contributes greatly to the wellbeing of individuals, communities and society.

Jan Kortie first introduced the idea of voice-liberation in the Netherlands 30 years ago, developing a joyful approach to personal and professional singing that extends beyond traditional methods and techniques. His book, Your Soul Wants to Sing, available in Dutch, is the primer for his Academy of Voice Liberation, where he serves as director.

Preventing Seizures Natural Dog Remedies Can Out-Do Drugs

by Dr. Shawn Messonnier

P

eople often seek out a holistic veterinarian due to concerns about conventional medications. One new client recently inquired about her 3-year-old female poodle diagnosed with epilepsy last year. The traditional veterinarian’s prescription for phenobarbital was helping to control the seizures, but the owner questioned the long-term consequences of feeding her pet the drug for the rest of its life. Surely, she thought, there must be a natural alternative.

There are many causes for canine seizures, with epilepsy being the most common. Epilepsy is the term used when the cause is unknown, so testing is needed to ensure other factors are not present. These might include toxicities, especially in younger dogs and puppies (may include vaccines); brain tumors, more common in older dogs and certain breeds such as boxers and Boston terriers; infections, as in meningitis, or immune disorders such as the neurologic disease granulomatous meningoenceph-

48

alitis, or GME; parasites, including aberrant heartworms; and regional diseases such as tick-borne illnesses like Lyme or ehrlichiosis.

Common testing includes a physical examination, food hypersensitivity and blood tests, tick serology, urine, fecal and cerebrospinal fluid analyses and a brain scan, which is usually a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Not all tests are needed on all pets because the veterinarian will rule out issues during the process.

If other causes are ruled out and the problem is labeled as epilepsy, phenobarbital can be helpful, although side effects can occur as a result, including liver disease. In every case, the animal should be examined at least two to four times a year for possible complications from the drug, starting with a blood profile and urinalysis. It’s always best to supplement such treatment with natural remedies to help protect the liver,

including milk thistle and choline.

Alternatively, natural therapies don’t usually lead to side effects or require the same intense regimen of regular evaluation. Patients have experienced good results with phosphatidylcholine, which works to stabilize brain cell membranes, and so reduce and prevent seizures, while also providing detoxification support for the liver. Phosphatidylcholine supplements are also used to prevent and treat another common neurological problem in pets—cognitive disorder (akin to Alzheimer’s in humans).

Dimethylglycine supplementation aids in treating seizures, as well. It both supports the nervous system and provides energy to the body’s cells.

Herbs, including valerian, passionflower, kava, gastrodia (tian ma), uncaria (gou teng), ostrea concha (mu li) and buthus martensi (quan xie), can also be helpful. Because they can be powerful natural medicines that could interact with each other and with prescription medicines, use them only under veterinary supervision.

Homeopathic remedies are also widely incorporated into natural treatments of seizures such as tinctures of stramonium and belladonna. A twicedaily homeopathic detoxification treatment for pets experiencing seizures from any cause, using berberis, nux vomica and lymphomyosot, is recommended, as well.

Due to the overwhelming success of using natural therapies for pets with epilepsy at our Paws & Claws Animal Hospital, most do not need to rely on medications for the problem. Those pets that arrive on a regiment of strong anticonvulsant drugs are slowly weaned off of them, resulting in improved health, lower vet bills and better control of recovery. Most never have another seizure, as long as they stay on the natural therapy protocol prescribed.

SANDALWOOD

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

S

andalwood (Santalum album) is a small evergreen tree that grows up to ten meters in height and flowers all year round.

The tree grows wild in India, where it is a government monopoly, and is cultivated in parts of Southeast Asia. There happen to be other trees which are also called sandalwood, such as Pterocarpus santalinus, but they do not contain the same oil as the original sandalwood. The familiar sandalwood fragrance actually comes from the wood, as the flowers are odorless. The medicinal parts are the oil extracted from the wood. The chief components of the oil are chemicals called santalols.

Sandalwood has several indications and usages. These are: • Inflammatory conditions of the urinary tract (Commission E,

the approximate German equivalent of our FDA) • Stomach pains, nausea and vomiting, and chest pain

(Chinese medicine) • Heat stroke, sunstroke, and resulting fever; gonorrhea and

as an anti-aphrodisiac (Ayurvedic medicine) • Urethral inflammation (Homeopathy) • Acne, cystitis, menstrual problems, depression, skin

infections (antifungal and antibacterial), and as a

sedative (common usages).

Contraindications and adverse affects: sandalwood is contraindicated in patients with kidney diseases; and ingestion occasionally may lead to itchy skin, gastrointestinal complaints, and hematuria (blood in the urine).

Dosage: Sandalwood oil is used internally in an enteric-coated form. The average daily dose should be 10 grams of the drug or about 1 gram of the essential oil. The homeopathic doses are: 5 drops, 1 tablet, or 10 globules every 30-60 minutes in acute cases or 1-3 times daily for chronic cases.

THE GIFT Poems by Hafiz

H

afiz, like Rumi about a hundred years before him, was a Sufi mystic.

And like Rumi his poetry speaks to and oftentimes stirs something within us.

He writes often of his profound love of the Divine and the sacred, which he appears to see everywhere and in everyone. Oftentimes his poetry is a challenge for us to find that Divine Beloved deep within our very breath and being by confusing and bypassing the egoic mind. Ralph Waldo Emerson called Hafiz ‘a poet for poets’ and wrote ‘He fears nothing. He sees too far; he sees throughout; such is the only man I wish to ….be.’

His poetry has been loved for centuries and he has been called the ‘Tongue of the Invisible’. He speaks of the Divine in motion and in stillness but mostly of life being the Divine expressing love to Itself.

Here are just a few excerpts from The Gift: WHY ABSTAIN?: Why abstain from love when like the beautiful snow goose someday your soul will leave this summer camp? / Why abstain from happiness when like a skilled lion your heart is nearing? / And will someday see the divine prey is always near!

(One of my personal favorites) A CUSHION FOR YOUR HEAD: Just sit there right now.

Don’t do a thing. Just rest. / For your separation from God, from love / is the hardest work in this world / Let me bring you trays of food. And something you like to drink / You can use my soft words as a cushion for your head.

IT FELT LOVE: How did the rose ever open its heart / And give to this world all its

beauty? / It felt the encouragement of light against its being / Otherwise, we all remain / too / frightened.

HOW DO I LISTEN?: How do I listen to others? / As if everyone were my Master / Speaking to me / His / Cherished / Last / Words.

LAUGHING AT THE WORD TWO: Only / that Illuminated One / Who keeps seducing the formless into form / Had the charm to win my heart. / Only a Perfect One / Who is always laughing at the word Two / Can make you know / of / Love.

IF GOD INVITED YOU TO A PARTY: If God invited you to a party and said, / “Everyone in the ballroom tonight will be my special guest.” / How would you then treat them when they arrived? / Indeed, Indeed! / And Hafiz knows there is no one in this world / Who is not upon His Jeweled Dance Floor.

For the month of August 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.

THE INCOMING WAVE OF LIGHT & THE LION’S GATE 2013 The New Earth Energies August 2013 “What is the Lion’s Gate and why is it named for the Lion? Well, it refers in part to the fact that the Sun enters into the sign of LEO at this time, and these energies are integrated into the Earth under the energy of the Lion, the Feline Energies of Sirius which are fierce and proud and very “royal”. The “Gate” or “Stargate” is a period of approximatley two weeks in which a vortex opens and a wave of intense Light from the Galactic Center is recieved on the Earth. This “wave” contains the new Light Codes for the Evolution of the Earth for the next year/cycle, and so it is known as the Planetary New Year.” http://starchildglobal.com/
