I am so grateful for the Divine Inspiration that continues to flow through me to create these products, provide retreats and workshops, and continue to write books and produce spoken audio.

Be aware that you are love in all you do, say, think, feel, smell, taste or know, and you will be happy and healthy all the days of your life.”

newsbriefs STAYING FOCUSED HELPS LEARNING: NEUROFEEDBACK CAN AID THE BRAIN TO TRANSFORM LEARNING

s the summer draws to a close and families throughout Florida prepare for the start of another school year, parents and children alike anticipate all that the new year will bring. For some families, however, there is the hope that this school year will be better than the last, coupled with the worry that their child’s struggles in the classroom may continue for another year. Both parents and children may be affected by a student’s difficulty in learning or retaining material. When children have a hard time mastering new concepts or recalling information, they may become frustrated, feel embarrassed, lose confidence, or simply give up. Parents may wonder what else can be done at school to support their child’s learning, or how they can help at home. Often times tutors are sought or interventions are put into place in the classroom, and while some students do make improvements, there are those who continue to show a gap in achievement compared to their peers. So what are parents to do? Helping the brain work better One way to potentially help children make

gains academically (and behaviorally) is to help the brain to work more efficiently. When the brain is balanced it is better able to use its resources, and it becomes more efficient, using less mental energy. For example, rather than exerting a great deal of mental effort to pay attention or read a paragraph, the brain can more efficiently engage in these, and similar, tasks, making them easier for the child. In short, when we transform the brain, we are able to transform the way in which we learn. But how do we help the brain to do this? Neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback for the brain, exercises various areas of the brain thereby strengthening them, much like physical therapy might strengthen a weak muscle. As these areas of the brain grow stronger, they are better able to perform their jobs, which can lead to better, faster learning. College students who took part in neurofeedback training sessions as part of a study showed an average 9 to 10-point increase in their Working Memory Index and Processing Speed Index scores, as measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence

*Call to learn more about neurofeedback

Scales Third Edition, a commonly utilized IQ test (Cannon et al., 2009). While neurofeedback certainly did not make these students “smarter”, these scores suggest that the ability of their brains to engage in tasks such as attending, recalling, and processing information was improved. What is neurofeedback? Neurofeedback helps improve the brain’s ability to self-regulate by using a braincomputer interface. In addition to improving learning, this non-invasive treatment can help improve attention, motivation, anxiety, headaches, and sleep -- often dramatically. Neurofeedback is a treatment form grounded in research. At the Center for Brain Training, our neurofeedback clinicians target symptoms by training the areas of the brain associated with specific functions. Some clients make excellent progress simply by using what we already know about the brain. In other cases, we use a Quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain map to guide our training protocols. Quantitative Brain Mapping uses age-normed data to help measure and target the key brain systems that are creating difficulties. The qEEG, or “brain map”, provides a picture of what is going on in the brain and helps us tailor training. What can I expect from my child doing neurofeedback? Neurofeedback is very effective at stabilizing and regulating brain function. It helps the brain change itself without medication. Changes from neurofeedback extend beyond the training period, yielding sustainable results. Once a new brain pattern has been learned, the brain tends not to forget it, just like we don’t usually forget how to ride a bike once we’ve learned. As the brain strengthens and is able to sustain new patterns, symptoms and the need to train, will decrease. As a client makes sustained improvements, we space out appointments until continued

training is no longer needed. As the brain improves, learning and doing school work can both become more manageable and less stressful, leading to a happier and more confident child. How do I get started? When you’re ready to begin, simply contact one of our offices to schedule your appointment or free consultation. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about neurofeedback and how it might be able to help your child make the next school year a great one!

She has worked in the Florida public school system and she has worked one-on-one with children with autism and other developmental disorders. Lyndsy’s passion for learning about the brain and interest in testing compliment her work in neurofeedback.

QI REVOLUTION October 11th - 14th FT. LAUDERDALE CONVENTION CENTER

4-Days Professional Qigong Training Only $149!

igong is about Breath Mastery. The best schools emphasize BREATHING to remove blockages and build a surplus of energy. Through technical training in abdomen placement, you can increase your body temperature and blood circulation on demand. When someone lays hands on another person while doing Tumo breathing it can send profound waves of healing Qi into that person. Genesis 2:7 “God formed man of the dust of the ground & BREATHED into his NOSTRILS the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Does it weaken our connection to Spirit if we are breathing shallow? Scripture suggests a connection with being alive and breath incoming through our nostrils. What if we breathed consciously and deeper all day? Qigong is about Getting High Naturally. Alcohol transforms the mind-state, yet also destroys the liver. Qi has no side effect except making you feel full of vitality. Its highs are beyond words. With focused practice most people can move Qi causing a mild to intense euphoria. Qi being free, abundant, right under our noses makes it the ultimate ally to rise above life’s obstacles and reduce stress. Food is the Key to the Qi! Diseases like Autism, Cancer and Alzheimer's are increasing at an alarming rate. Fruits, vegetables, tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms contain phytochemicals that unlock our body's endocrine system and act as sparkplugs to the immune system. Unfortunately, many people do not get enough of them. Phytochemicals are most concentrated in the parts of the food that we often throw away; the seeds, stems, skins and rinds of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Many eat the right foods, but throw away the parts with all the “medicine.” For instance, we blend the avocado “with the big seed” in a high-powered blender along with other good tasting fruits and veggies. The avocado seed is tasteless, has the life force potential to create a huge tree and more soluble fiber than any food for scrubbing plaque out of the arteries.

newsbriefs FENG SHUI FOR BUSINESS

eng Shui is often used to enhance the power and productivity of occupants in a business. The position of your desk is an important factor to achieving command of your office and employees. The most favorable position for a desk provides the greatest view of the room and the entry. Be sure to sit in a high back chair with your back to a solid wall for a feeling of safety, support, being ‘backed up’ and in control of life. When people sit with their back to an entry door they are often less productive and easily interrupted. A client who ran her business from home had her desk crammed in a tiny room with her back to the entry. Because the space was so small, projects were scattered in two other rooms of the house. This less than ideal arrangement caused major challenges in the business and took its toll on her relationship with her assistant. After relocating the entire operation in one room—the wealth area of her home, business increased dramatically within the first month and the relationship with her assistant improved. Our office communicates an impression to clients (and ourselves) about our personality, professionalism, expertise, and credibility. Creating our surroundings with harmony, beauty and order is a way to project an image that instills confidence in customers while honoring ourselves. Here are a few more feng shui tips for your office. • To create movement in your life: Clean out and organize closets, drawers and storage areas. When you let go of what you no longer want or need, there is space for the next good thing to appear in your life. • To enhance clear thinking: Remove piles and excess 'stuff' from horizontal surfaces. Too many items on tables, countertops and especially your desk can distract you from being focused. • To increase prosperity: Place money or items representing abundance in the wealth area of your office. In relation to the entry, the wealth area is the back left section. Be sure to keep it clutter free too! • To expand your vision: Clean windows and mirrors. When you can clearly see who you are in the world, the opportunity to manifest your dreams becomes easier to visualize.

newsbriefs Holistic Approach to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

ana, a 40-year-old woman, came to see me with a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. While taking Prednisone (10 mg) and several immune suppressants, she was still having abdominal pain and diarrhea with bloody stool every day. Her doctor suggested a piece of her colon would have to be removed and the use of a colostomy bag if her symptoms couldn’t be controlled with current medication. She was very scared. Dana enjoyed her food very much. She was also drinking wine and smoking daily when she came to see me. I explained to her that her lifestyle and dietary habits played an important role in her disease. Without making changes in her life, she indeed would eventually have to have her diseased colon removed. Moreover, other areas of her intestines could develop the same problem in the future. Dana agreed to make some gradual changes. Dealing with a painful divorce and having a small business to run, she tried to use food and drinking to ease her life stress, but the toxins and stress made her body fall apart. She also complained of fatigue, insomnia, headaches and many food sensitivities. After testing for sensitivities and imbalances of her body, I made a lifestyle and dietary plan for her, which included staying away from things such as alcohol and tobacco, rotating her food every five-day cycle, and eating smaller meals more often. This was a long-term plan with moderations

specifically for her condition. Her holistic treatment plan included three stages of my Individualized Body Mind Therapy (IBMT). The first stage was to stabilize her body and recover the body’s healing ability. I saw her once a month and prescribed homeopathic remedies to recharge her cellular energy and improve the body’s drainage system. I also taught her to perform desensitization procedures daily at home using a kit in my system. The first stage of therapy is crucial for most of my patients because it involves establishment of a healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. The immune system also needed to be calmed, otherwise she would develop allergies to everything taken in within a few weeks. Once the patient becomes accustomed to the new healthy routine of life, everything falls into place. Dana felt much better after three months with no more bloody stool. The second and third stages of the therapy are detoxification and regeneration stage, respectively. After detoxification of major organs, intestinal Candida and parasites, Dana started to reduce her medications. After two years of ups and downs during medication reduction, she finally became symptom-free without any medications. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the intestines. The major types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC).

Although very different diseases, both Crohn’s and UC share similar symptoms: abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, severe internal cramps/muscle spasms in the region of the pelvis and weight loss. The main difference between Crohn's and UC is the *location and *nature of the inflammatory changes. Crohn's can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from mouth to anus, although a majority of the cases start in the terminal ileum. UC, in contrast, is restricted to the colon and the rectum. Microscopically, UC is restricted to the mucosa (epithelial lining of the gut) while Crohn's affects the whole bowel wall. IBD is a complex disease that arises as a result of the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. It is increasingly thought that alterations to enteral bacteria can contribute to inflammation in the gut. Conventional treatment for IBD may require immunosuppression to control the symptoms, such as Prednisone and other anti-inflammatory medications. Severe cases may require surgery, such as colostomy or ileostomy. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that as many as 1.4 million people in the United States suffer from these diseases. Holistic medicine believes that IBD is a systemic disease that affects not only the digestive tract but the neuroendocrine control of the immune function and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system as well. First of all, accumulation of toxins and hyperactive inflammatory immune response are the main causes of the disease. Among the organs affected, the digestive tract is the main toxin source of the body due to dysbiosis, a condition of microbial imbalances such as yeast overgrowth (Candidiasis), pathogenic bacteria and parasite overgrowth and the decline of the beneficial bacteria. Thus, intestinal cleansing and detoxification are necessary to reduce inflammatory response to intestinal lining of IBD. However, the detox functions of many IBD patients have already been impaired, which could be the major

function. This suggests that the endogenous adrenal hormone such as cortisol in the patient’s body doesn’t function well to control the autoimmune attack. Thus, addressing the adrenal issue for IBD patients is equally as important as addressing the toxin issue. In the meantime, healing of intestinal lining requires adrenal function as well. Many patients with chronic IBD all have a condition called leaky gut syndrome, which describes intestinal hyper permeability. A strong adrenal function helps to heal the leaky gut and ensures a possible complete recovery of the IBD. Lastly, and the most important point, is food allergy and sensitivity which can be a trigger to autoimmune attack. Food allergy involves specific antigen-antibody reaction, while food sensitivity is a neuroinflammatory response believed to be a less severe stage compared to allergy. Resolving food allergy and sensitivity sometimes is crucial to drive IBD into remission. Unfortunately, there has not been a reliable test to absolutely identify food allergy and sensitivity.

reason they develop the disease. Common cleansing and detox protocol may result in strong detox responses such as achiness, headache, fatigue, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort. Thus, a preparation period with balancing and support for liver, kidney and intestinal function with homeopathy and Chinese medicine is necessary for a successful detoxification therapy with natural remedies. Second, many patients with autoimmune diseases such as IBD all have one thing in common—adrenal fatigue syndrome. Before autoimmune attack, most of them have a history of experiencing extreme high stress in their lives, including working long hours, financial difficulties, relationship crisis and other emotional issues. Stresses in life weaken the adrenal system and in turn cause hyperactivity of the immune system. On the other hand, strong immune attack causes severe tissue damage and sometimes the only treatment to ease the autoimmune attack is to use steroids such as Prednisone, which is an adrenal hormone with powerful antiinflammatory and immune suppression

Nurturing Your Child’s Head, Heart and Hands

he childhood act of believing in Santa Claus, believing in his goodness and in what he is able to accomplish, is not just a warm holiday tradition. It reflects the infinite capacity of a child’s head, heart and hands. What happens when education fosters the development of children to their highest capacity? Through the practice of picture thinking and open-ended thinking, children develop a thinking that enables them to perceived events with clarity, comprehend situations fully, and envision solutions for all challenges. Through joy and emotional involvement in learning, children develop a sensitivity to look beyond the obvious, hearing what is not spoken, and they grow strong enough to weather the emotional storms of life. Through the development of a sturdy will, children learn to take their hopes and dreams and turn them into reality. One education methodology that nurtures the full span of human capacity is Waldorf Education. Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf Education strives to transform education into an art that educates the whole child. One way that the head is nurtured is through daily oral story telling. While a story is told, the children practice creating mental pictures which, in turn, aids the development of memory and imagination. One way that the heart is nourished is through visual art. Students craft their own textbooks, also known as main lesson books, playing with color blending, perspective and design. One way that the will is nourished is through movement exercises like jumping the times tables on a number line. Also connected to strong speech, will is developed through the recitation of tongue twisters and poems, and the performance of a class play. In Boca Raton, there is a growing school community, Sea Star, diligently working to create a place where childhood is honored, where the full span of human capacity is nurtured, and where adults strive to set an example for self development that is worthy of children’s imitation. Sea Star began as a grassroots play group, starting a kindergarten seven years ago, and now serves children through grade seven. Our greatest strengths include sincere committed families, dedicated faculty with Waldorf training and experience, and a remarkable pioneering spirit. Presently, we are renting space at the Congregational Church and Temple Beth El.

newsbriefs Courage, What Does it Mean?

ccording to the late, great, Dr. Maya Angelou, of all the virtues, courage is the most important, because it’s needed to consistently apply all the other ones. I’m beginning to understand just why that may be so. I just saw the movie “Belle” and was completely enthralled by this period piece set in Victorian era with Victorian mores, replete with concerns about class, status, ethnic and genderbased prejudice, inheritances, and hypocrisy. The over-arching theme was that of courage to take right action, to speak one’s truth, to follow one’s heart, to live one’s dreams. It’s quite a timeless phenomenon that seems to be part of the human experience to varying degrees, no matter how the times, faces or names may change. What makes “Belle” even more compelling is that it’s based on a true story. Most of us would like to think of ourselves as the heroine or hero in our respective lives. But, how often do we really speak up when we see injustices being done? Or do we even dare speak up for ourselves consistently, in the face of others disapproval? In my book “Aroma Remembers: A magical Tale of Spiritual Awakening,” the teenage protagonist is challenged to stand up for herself in more ways than one, at a time in her life that she is most vulnerable. It’s often said that courage is not the absence of fear, it is taking action despite one’s fears. Aroma does just that with the help of several others—some human, others not. When our own resources seem low, or others aren’t there for us, there’s always Divine assistance available for us to draw upon to find the courage, strength and perseverance to practice the other virtues such as: kindness, compassion, acceptance, devotion, love, majesty, justice, impartiality, prudence, reliability, simplicity, loyalty, gentleness, trustworthiness, purity, forgiveness, patience, respect, steadfastness, humility, curiosity, gratitude, focus, generosity, etc. And, who knows with continuous practice we might someday have a society where everyone at least strives to embody these marvelous qualities!

racey O’Hara brings Kundalini Yoga and special events, many for the first time, to Northern PBC. Along with teaching at Kula Shala in Jupiter, the Singer Island Marriott, and a Singer Island Studio, Tracey’s Yoga also helps recovery at a halfway house in WPB. Tracey is certified in Kundalini and Hatha. Her Loving Life Yoga (LLY) entity sponsored the sell-out Snatam Kaur concert last December at the Borland Center. In August LLY is bringing, Anand Mehrotra, born and living in Rishikesh, India to our area. Anand founded the many Sattva Yoga Centers around the world and is featured in the award winning documentary film “The Highest Pass”. www.mysattva.com. Anand will be teaching Yoga, lecturing on life and sharing his profound wisdom at the Tequesta Recreational Center on August 19th at 6:30PM. Anand will again offer private readings and life counseling, by appointment, on Singer Island, the days following. Anand gives back by founding the Khushi Foundation which provides medical, educational and spiritual support to the children of Rishikesh and the Sattva Foundation that benefits the elderly. LLY is organizing a retreat to Anand’s new resort and spa located on a beautiful river in the foothills of the Himalaya Mountain range just outside of Rishikesh, October 18th – 30th. This will be the third retreat and it is limited to only 20 guests. There, one will experience the India country side, five hours of Yoga per day, shopping, jungle safaris, temples, rafting and many more activities. Last year the guests were from the States as well as from other countries. It is an experience of a lifetime. LLY also produced a “Didgeridoo” healing music workshop at the Tequesta Plaza studio in June. The Didgeridoo is a wind instrument first used 1,500 years ago by Indigenous Northern Australians. Tracey said, “My students called it a full body sound energy massage and want the event repeated”. Tracey went on to say, “I use sound bowls, mantra and breathing to stimulate the Vagus nerve and body glands in my Yoga teaching. The Didgeridoo is yet another natural healing and relaxing technique used for ages”. Tracey’s second FULL MOON CEREMONY on the beach including; Yoga, meditation, a fire pujas, was held on Saturday night July 12th. Watch for announcements about the Simrit Kaur Concert December, 14th in Delray. Tracey claims her personal daily Kundalini routine of Yoga, Mantra and Meditation helped free herself from, addiction, PTSD caused by early life trauma, and she is now liberated from her past bondage. Tracey’s passion is to serve the community. More info: www.lovinglifeyoga.net

newsbriefs Helping Children Create Emotional Health & Wellbeing with Compassionate Communication

e teach kids a lot—everything from how to tie their shoes and add numbers to how to drive a car and eat with manners. Not many of us, however, are taught how to talk about things when we are upset, let alone taught to understand WHY we are upset in the first place. Compassionate Communication—based on Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication—does both: it helps us (children and adults) understand the reasons why we are upset (more on this below), but also how to speak with others about it in a way that builds confidence within ourselves and increased closeness and trust in relationships. Practicing Compassionate Communication cultivates Emotional Intelligence—a quality that psychologist and New York Times’ bestselling author Daniel Goleman says can matter as much as I.Q. for workplace, leadership and relationship success. Essentially, Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. It is shown to be tied to both physical and emotional wellbeing but to general happiness overall. Something we would all like for our children to have, yes? How Compassionate Communication (CC) works. Specifically, CC recognizes that as humans we all have needs…the need for security, comfort, love and affection…to name a few. The only reason we ever feel upset, according to Marshall, is when a need is NOT met. Going through the 4-Step CC Process, then, not only helps us understand our needs and feelings –as well as those of other people in our life—but gives us a method for talking about these with one another. This process nurtures compassion and harmony in our relationships—including our relationship with our self—yet another critical factor related to happiness in life. CC also promotes increased self-acceptance and acceptance of others, while aiding us in honoring our differences. The good news is that children are naturally compassionate. They become less so when exposed to judgment from adults about themselves and others. The important thing to know is this: what you live as a parent is what children learn. So here are some critical points to keep in mind and practice with your child: 1. Teach children that THEY have needs…that all humans have needs. In addition to the basic human needs we all share related to survival—such as food, water, clothing, air, shelter—we have other needs in common such as belonging, acceptance, to be heard, cooperation, growth, independence, self-expression, kindness, creativity, dependability and safety to name a few. Help them understand that having needs is not only OK, it is normal! Teach them that what makes them unique—in part—is what they value, which is directly linked to needs, and that they can take action to satisfy needs in life-giving ways (meaning that they do not need to harm or dominate others in order to get their needs met). 22

Palm Beach Edition

2. Teach children that feelings are not “bad” or “good;” they are, instead, vitally useful indicators that inform us about what is important to us. We can feel happiness, excitement and joyful when our needs are being met or feel sadness, despair and frustration when they are not. Life situations give us both, and just about every situation will meet some needs while not meeting others. For example, trying out for a sport’s team may not meet a need for comfort, bringing up feelings of anxiousness, but it will also meet a need for growth and self-expression, which can result in feelings of excitement and exhilaration. Feelings also help us direct and regulate our lives in more healthful ways. For example, if we are in a relationship (friendship or otherwise) where we are feeling down more than up most of the time, it is an indicator that some (or many) of the needs that are important to us are not being met. Knowing this, we can work practically to change the situation through communication (including asking for more of our needs to be met), or simply move on to a situation that better serves our needs…and without hostility or blame toward ourselves and others. 3. Teach children that they can ASK for what they want… even though they may not get it. This cultivates self-worth in children, which is vitally important for happiness in life. In reality, parents need to set rules and guidelines in a household; after all, children (especially young ones) do not have the maturity, experience and know-how to make consistent decisions related to their health and well-being. If as a parent, however, you are willing to hear what your child wants in situations—whether you are able to give it to them or not—and then lovingly empathize with their feelings and talk to them about your and the family’s needs related to your decisions, you are cultivating an environment that teaches your child that their feelings and needs matter. This most often translates into a child believing that they matter…which sets up a host of positive actions and choices in a person’s life. What a wonderful gift to the world!

Tough Family Life Linked to Chromosome Aging

hen Princeton University researchers analyzed data from a representative sample of 40 African-American boys enrolled in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study that followed children born in major U.S. cities between 1998 and 2000, they determined that those that lived through 9 years of age with less-stable families, such as parents with multiple partners and harsh or hostile parenting styles, had a higher probability of having shorter telomeres compared with other children. Telomeres were, on average, 40 percent longer among children from stable families. Telomeres are the segments of DNA at either end of a chromosome that protect the ends from deterioration or fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Shorter telomeres can decrease life expectancy by reducing the number of times our cells can divide, and scientists are discovering that a person’s living environment may lead to the condition. Using large cohort (age group) study data from the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety, another group of researchers from Amsterdam’s Vrije University found significantly shorter telomere length among those with higher stress markers; the shorter length was also associated with aging approximately 10 years faster. In addition, the scientists observed significantly shorter telomere length among people with depressive symptoms lasting longer than four years; the shorter length correlated with both longer and more severe depression.

Parents’ Smoking Linked to Artery Damage in Children

esearchers from Australia’s University of Tasmania have found that children exposed to the secondhand smoke of their parents will likely face abnormally thickened carotid arteries later in life. The finding, published in the European Heart Journal, followed 3,776 children that participated in the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study and the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study. The children were divided into groups according to whether neither parent smoked, one parent smoked or both parents smoked. Questionnaire results were combined with ultrasound testing to correlate exposure during childhood with the health of carotid arteries, and researchers concluded that the effects are pervasive even 25 years later. Those exposed to two parental smokers as children had significantly greater thickness of inner carotid artery walls than did children with non-smoking parents. Their arteries also showed signs of premature aging of more than three years compared to children of nonsmokers. The researchers wrote, “There must be continued efforts to reduce smoking among adults to protect young people and to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease across the population.”

Pine Bark Extract Reduces Perimenopausal Symptoms

esearch published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine confirms that pine bark extract can significantly reduce symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, including restless legs syndrome and hot flashes. For three months, 170 perimenopausal women were given 30 milligrams of Pycnogenol patented pine bark extract or a placebo twice a day. Although a placebo effect was noted, the supplement significantly improved all but two symptoms and was especially effective in improving vasomotor and insomnia/sleep patterns. The severity of symptoms among the Pycnogenol group, as measured by the Kupperman Index, decreased 56 percent more than for the placebo group. In another study, scientists from Italy’s Pescara University gave 70 perimenopausal women a placebo or 100 milligrams of Pycnogenol daily for two months. The supplement group experienced fewer menopausal symptoms and showed improvements with symptoms that include fatigue, insomnia, reduced concentration, memory problems, dizziness, depression and irritability.

Flaxseed Lowers Blood Pressure

ating flaxseed reduces blood pressure, according to researchers from Canada’s St. Boniface Hospital Research Center. They attribute the effect to its omega-3 fatty acids, lignans and fiber. The researchers examined the effects of flaxseed on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with peripheral artery disease, a condition typically marked by hypertension. Patients consumed a variety of foods that collectively contained 30 grams of milled flaxseed or a placebo each day for six months. The flaxseed group experienced significantly increased plasma levels of certain omega-3 fatty acids and lower average systolic blood pressure (by 10 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (by 7 mm Hg). Those in the flaxseed group with initial systolic blood pressure levels over 140 mmHg saw reductions averaging 15 mmHg.

Medicinal Mushrooms Boost Athletic Performance

HEELLESS SHOES MAY HELP PREVENT RUNNERS’ INJURIES

British study published in Footwear Science analyzed the effects of running in experimental heelless footwear compared with conventional running shoes with reinforced heels. The objective was to see if the heelless footwear would reduce the risk of chronic injury related to the habitual rear-foot strike pattern associated with conventional heeled shoes. Using eight cameras with optoelectric running motion capture technology,12 male runners were tracked at four meters per second. The heelless running shoe resulted in less impact, greater plantar flexion and greater ankle eversion (rolling outward). The researchers concluded that the heelless shoes decreased the risk of chronic running foot injuries linked to excessive impact forces, but concede they may increase injury potential associated with excessive ankle eversion.

esearch from Italy’s Pavia University found two medicinal mushroom species—cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) and reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)—significantly improve race performances and recovery times among competitive cyclists. The researchers studied seven male cyclists that had competitively raced for more than 10 years. For one month, they were given placebo supplements, after which the researchers tested their performance and recovery during races and workouts. Then, for the next three months, the cyclists daily used medicinal mushroom supplementation. The researchers found the mushrooms significantly increased performance and recovery in both workouts and races compared with the placebo period. The two types of mushrooms both boosted testosterone levels and reduced postworkout cortisol levels. The mushroom supplementation also increased their antioxidant status, reducing their risk of exhaustion.

Learning that Transforms Hearts and Minds Rethinking How We See Our World Changes Everything by Linda Sechrist

n the 30 years since Harrison Owen introduced Open Space Technology (OST), it has been used hundreds of thousands of times by threequarters of the world’s countries. Whether a few people gather in a circle to share ideas and brainstorm personal issues or thousands discuss a bulletin board of topics around tables, OST is a safe, informal venue for transformative learning. Guided by purpose-based, shared leadership, it allows individuals focused on a specific task to freely speak their thoughts and be heard. It also encourages breakout groups to mine for more information—learning individually, as well as collectively, and self-organizing in order to concentrate on more complex topics. “Boeing engineers used OST to learn how to redesign airplane doors and young Egyptians used it to strategize for their Arab Spring,” as examples, comments Owen.

Circle Principle

For Owen, like Jack Mezirow, author of the paper, “Core Principles of Transformative Learning Theory,” 20th-century Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and 26

Palm Beach Edition

Juanita Brown, cofounder of The World Café, learning is transformation, the keystone of life, and the essence of meaningful education. “The circle principle contains the predictability of fresh, emerging thoughts and learning that never occurred previously,” explains Owen. He points to an experiment regarding children’s capacity for self-learning initiated by Sugata Mitra, Ph.D., the former science director of an educational technology firm in India. On the outside wall of the building where he worked, Mitra installed a computer facing a New Delhi slum where most children were unschooled and illiterate and had never seen a computer. He turned it on and told children they could play with it. Via a noninvasive video camera, he watched 7-to-13-year-olds discover how to use the computer and teach each other how to play music and games and draw using Microsoft’s Paint program. Repetition of the experiment in other impoverished sections of India yielded similar results. Wherever he established an Internet connection, children that could not read English, the Internet’s default

napalmbeach.com

language, taught themselves how to use the Web to obtain information through their interactions with each other and the computer. “I agree with what Mitra surmised from his experiment—learning is emergent, which is another word for selforganizing,” remarks Owen. Like Freire, Owen likens traditional education to the “banking” method of learning, whereby the teacher passes information to students that become dependent on someone else rather than learning how to think on their own. Suzanne Daigle, a Sarasota, Floridabased consultant with a Canadian multidisciplinary consulting firm, explains how the OST learning environment changed her life: “My personal transformation began in 2009. Even though I was a leader in my corporate career, I doubted myself and often believed that what others had to say was more significant and interesting than what I could express.” Now she says she has shed her people-pleasing tendencies and former attempts to control other people’s agendas and discovered the freedom and courage of her own voice. “As an OST facilitator, my life work now occurs in the moments I am collaboratively learning and listening for opportunities to enter into meaningful conversations that can lead to actions,” says Daigle. “I invite others to do the same.”

Co-Learning

In a compulsory two-year Theory of Learning class for an International Baccalaureate degree at California’s Granadas Hill Charter High School, math and science educator Anais Arteaga helps students apply two major elements of transformative learning: self-reflection to critique one’s own assumptions and discourse through which they question or validate their judgments. She focuses on the roles that perception, language, reason and emotion play in a student’s learning and decision-making abilities. “Questions and lively discussions are the basis of the class,” Arteaga says. “We begin with a question and explore what we know, how we know it and any conclusions drawn from the process.” Using a democratic model in which

the teacher welcomes critical discussion, Arteaga and her students have mutually discovered that knowledge is not static, but has a history and changes over time. “When we first started the class, it was challenging to accept that in many situations there is no right or wrong, just relativity and a matter of perception. We don’t really know anything for certain,” she remarks.

Worldview Explorations

Katia Petersen, Ph.D., is the executive director of education at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), headquartered in Petaluma, California. She co-developed the tools, practices and 22 lessons in the pioneering organization’s Worldview Explorations (WE) project. Founded on 40 years of IONS research, WE engages everyone in age-appropriate ways in reflecting upon long-held assumptions and how beliefs create the lens they see through, ultimately improving how they understand and respond to the world. “When individuals understand the power of offering their story and are open to the worldview stories of others, they no longer focus attention on differences and limitations,” says Petersen. “They realize that everyone has their own truth. “WE’s transformative learning experiences draw from the heart and soul of individuals, rather than stuffing heads with ideas and perspectives, which serves them well as they embody and apply these tools and practices in their daily lives.” She cites a particularly powerful moment for a group of young people she worked with. “A student was killed in a drive-by shooting two weeks before their certification. The transformative moment came when they said that their new awareness and capacity for compassion and understanding would not allow them to seek revenge. Instead, they chose to save lives in their communities using their new skills.”

World Café

Like OST, the World Café, co-created by

Brown and David Isaacs, of Burnsville, North Carolina, creates a transformative learning environment for individuals of all ages. Its primary principles are: set the context, create hospitable space, explore questions that matter, encourage everyone’s contributions, connect diverse perspectives, listen together for patterns and insights and share collective discoveries. Webs of conversation created around actual or occasionally virtual tables resemble those found in coffeehouses. “Conversation is a core meaningmaking process, and people get to experience how the collective intelligence of a small or large group can become apparent,” says Brown. After several rounds of conversation on one or more topics, participants offer their harvest of key insights, learning and opportunities for action with the full group gathered to reflect together on their discoveries. “World Café provides an environment in which you are comfortably drawn forward by the questions you are asking together. When enough diversity is present, varied perspectives are offered and people feel listened to and free to make their contribution,” observes Brown. What participants learn in this setting creates the climate of conditions that support the kinds of transformations that can change lives. Brown remarks, “When it happens to me, I feel like my brain cells have been rearranged. I know something in the collective, as well as the individual, has been evoked, so that something never before imagined becomes present and available.” Transformative learning has been compared to a sea journey without landmarks. Adventurous individuals that are open to traversing its highly engaging processes can emerge as autonomous thinkers, capable of contributing fresh, new ideas that just might transform the world we live in.

Schools that Rock Innovators Blaze Creative Paths by Sandra Murphy

Creative educational initiatives offer more flexible programs of study than traditional institutions. First introduced into the United States in the latter part of the 20th century, today there are thousands of such facilities operating according to their own lights. Yet many share certain distinguishing characteristics including emphasis on close student-teacher relationships, diverse experiential learning and development of student decision-making skills aided by peer and parental support. All aim to prepare and equip students for future success both inside and outside the classroom.

Montessori

At age 3, kids at the Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School, in Maryland, are gaining early math and motor skills, plus an appreciation for healthy foods, in unique and innovative ways. “The children roll out a long mat containing 1,000 beads that they use to learn to count by twos, fours and 10s,” says Jenny Smolen, development coordinator and grant writer for the school. “When it’s time for multiplication and division, they’re prepared.” The school is located in a food desert—fresh, unprocessed food isn’t readily available—so the kids plant seeds to grow in pots until it’s time to transplant them to the garden. “Before the seed-to-table 28

Palm Beach Edition

program, the kids didn’t know what fresh tasted like. Now they go home and ask for vegetables for dinner,” says Smolen. The school also has six chickens that supply fresh eggs, and two beehives produced 100 pounds of honey last year that was sold to raise funds. The school is free of charge to Baltimore city students chosen by lottery. Currently, 330 students from diverse backgrounds ages 3 through 13 attend, with 1,000 names on the waiting list.

Waldorf

Waldorf School alumna Jocelyn Miller, an account manager at Matter Communications, drives 45 minutes from New-

napalmbeach.com

buryport, Massachusetts, to take her three children to the Cape Ann Waldorf School, in Beverly. “On bad weather days, I wonder why I make the drive, but the smiles when we arrive are worth it,” she says. There, her children spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. Indoors, they draw illustrations to bolster lessons on history and geography. Second-graders work in three-hour blocks of time, rather than the traditional 45 minutes. Third-grade students recently spent three weeks studying Greek mythology. Older students play in an orchestra and learn German and Spanish. They also knit; the craft builds manual dexterity and helps children learn to plan, correct mistakes, be creative, visualize the finished product and mindfully create something useful or decorative. Middle school and high school students at the Waldorf School of Garden City, in New York, universally participate in seasonal sports—baseball, softball, basketball and soccer. The emphasis on the values of teamwork and sportsmanship complement development of skills. The school’s policy is, “You don’t have to be a superstar to get playing time,” noting that the quality of athletic teams is consistently strong. The school also brings some green into the city with a horticultural program that fully cultivates a quarter-acre field. Its steady harvest of fruits, vegetables, herbs and grains includes lettuce, beans, spinach, broccoli, kale, corn, oregano, thyme, rosemary, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. A new greenhouse keeps produce growing through winter months. Students at Conservatory Prep High School, in Davie, Florida, were tasked

with finding a way to walk on water in order to explore principles of flotation and buoyancy. After researching and experimenting with each of a series of materials, they analyzed what went wrong, worked to fix it and then tried again. “We did the testing at our onsite pool,” says Wendy Weiner, Ed.D., the school’s founder and principal and a Waldorf alumna. “We saw some pretty funny results, but they eventually invented a pair of shoes that worked. Of course, they were pretty big shoes.”

Homeschooling

Homeschooling provides another option. Parents don’t need to know all about a subject with organizations like Bridgeway Academy’s homeschool curricula at hand. This Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, institution provides easy access to tools and support for families nationwide. “We’re a kindergarten-to-12th-grade provider,” says Jessica Parnell, academy president. “Teachers in a school setting have to teach standardized subjects, in certain ways, to the whole class. We use

customized learning to inspire and excite children individually. We help parents discover their child’s learning style, personality and ideal learning environment.” Materials provided include instructor guides, user-friendly websites and interactive games and other activities. “It gives kids the freedom to explore, learn and discover,” Parnell adds. “This is how you grow a lifelong learner.”

Un-Schooling

Un-schooling, another pioneering approach, is a method of homeschooling in which children pursue areas that interest them, eat foods they enjoy, rest when needed, choose friends of all ages or none at all and engage their world in unique, powerful and self-directed ways. Suzanne Strisower, a life and career coach in Oroville, California, has written a common-core, standards-based curriculum for un-schoolers. “It’s a yearlong program for ages 15 and up designed to enable a student to realize his career path and life’s purpose,” she says.

Online Tutorials

“There’s an explosion in online learning, too,” observes Bob Bowdon, executive director of nonprofit Choice Media, an education news service at ChoiceMedia. tv, produced in New York City. School kids in some states are able to opt out of a class at school if they feel the teaching style is holding them back, instead tapping online teachers available in a virtual school setting. Louisiana’s Department of Education’s Jump Start program partners high schools and local companies to offer students one-day-a-week internships apprenticing in trades. “It’s real-world, on-the-job training,” says Bowdon. Thanks to such innovative approaches to school curricula and technology, parents and children have more options than ever before for learning. Instead of memorizing information until the next test and then forgetting it, more learning is customized and hands-on, because children that learn by doing, remember.

Green Travelers Recharge at Spas, Parks and Vineyards by April Thompson

arving out time from crammed calendars for a week or more away from home can pose such a hurdle that more than half of all American workers forfeit hard-earned vacation days every year. Sometimes a long weekend in an inspiring locale is all we need to recharge our batteries. Short vacations invite welcome rest and relaxation and are often more sustainable, according to Gary Diedrichs, publisher of the online Green Traveler Guides (GreenTravelerGuides.com). “Airplanes pollute more than any other form of travel. When you take shorter trips by other means, whether bicycle or a hybrid rental car, you’re way ahead environmentally,” says Diedrichs, whose family enjoys road-tripping in an old Mercedes converted to run on recycled vegetable oil. For families, short, sweet trips are also easier to do with the kids in tow. “It’s also an opportunity for parents to reinforce that living sustainably isn’t just something you do at home,” notes 30

Diedrichs. We can prescribe—and reward—ourselves with one of the following minivacations, whether it’s a trip to a green spa if we’re stressed or a hike in a park or the woods if we’ve been sedentary. Travel on tracks to trails. Leave behind stressful traffic and uninspiring highway views by hopping a train to a nearby state or national park. Riders can venture through a variety of terrains without leaving their seats. Amtrak reaches more than 237 national parks and monuments (AmtrakToParks.com), many of which offer stunning backdrops for outdoor music festivals. A rail-to-park adventure can rekindle old friendships with faraway, but not forgotten friends. Draw a circle encompassing everyone’s location and pick a park within the perimeter as the meet-up spot, distributing the travel burden equally. Agree beforehand which friends bring which essential camping equipment, food and other provisions so that everyone trav-

Go farm to fork. Escape city crowds, live bucolic fantasies and learn about sustainable agriculture during a farm stay. Organic family farms across the country offer overnight accommodations to supplement farming incomes and connect with local consumers. Farm life is about simple pleasures, like waking to a rooster’s call and then digging into a farm-fresh breakfast of freerange eggs, accompanied by homemade bread, cheese, jam and honey. Afterwards, stroll an apple orchard or fragrant field of lavender. Most farms allow guests to pitch in with the chores, maybe feeding chickens, milking cows, picking cherries or making yogurt. Find a place nearby at FarmStayUS.com. Renew your spirit. Reconnect with your faith or explore a new spiritual calling with a short stay at a retreat center. Some furnish structured guided sessions, such as vipassanã Buddhism’s silent retreats, at which participants sit in meditation eight hours a day without access to media or other distractions.

uring childhood, when the immune system is still developing, there’s a great opportunity to set the stage for improved health and resilience,” says Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a family physician and nutritional researcher in Flemington, New Jersey, and author of Disease-Proof Your Child. “A healthy diet and lifestyle can help kids avoid common childhood illnesses like colds, ear infections and allergies, as well as ensure greater resilience against disease later in life.”

disease. In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, kids that ate the most fruit had a 38 percent lower risk of cancer later in life. Berries, cherries, plums and pomegranates are among the most powerful immune-boosting fruits. For veggies, eat more dark leafy greens, tomatoes, carrots and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. Also emphasize whole grains and healthy fats such as those found in nuts, seeds and avocado, advises Fuhrman. Sugar-laden calories depress the infection-fighting activity of white blood cells, says Dr. Alan R. Gaby, of Concord, New Hampshire, author of the textbook, Nutritional Medicine. Even natural sweeteners such as honey and juice have similar effects when consumed in excess, he says. Try healthy options like pomegranate and kiwi fruit salad; trail mix with raw almonds; dried cranberries and air-popped popcorn; and hummus with red pepper strips and baby carrots for dipping.

Pinpoint Allergies

Food allergies and sensitivities can suppress the immune system by increasing inflammation in the body and call for consultation with a health specialist. “Whenever there is extra inflammation, the body has less available energy to keep the immune system functioning as well as it should,” says Dr. Fred Pescatore, a New York author of The Allergy & Asthma Cure. “It’s like putting the wrong type of gasoline in the car; it hinders your performance.”

function, says Dr. John Douillard, Ph.D., a Boulder, Colorado, chiropractor, ayurvedic physician and author of Perfect Health for Kids. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, and overproduction of this “fight-or-flight” hormone can dampen immunity. Ashwagandha is particularly helpful for preventing colds and can also be used when kids are stressed or tired. For children ages 6 to 12, give 500 milligrams per day with breakfast; children over 12 can take 1,000 mg a day.

nity,” counsels Jane Sheppard, owner of HealthyChild.com and founding executive director of the Holistic Pediatric Association. Avoid antibacterial soaps, cleansers and gels; most contain the chemical triclosan, which some researchers suspect of contributing to development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Instead, use a natural antibacterial gel or make one, by combining witch hazel or alcohol, tea tree oil and lavender essential oil.

Shore Up with Supplements

Stabilize Hormonal Changes

Stay in the Sun

Probiotics can enhance immune function in children by stimulating white blood cells and reducing inflammation, says Gary B. Huffnagle, Ph.D., a University of Michigan Medical School immunology research professor and author of The Probiotics Revolution. They are especially protective against allergies, diarrhea and respiratory tract infection. Start with yogurt: Serve with cereal; mix with mashed bananas and freeze in ice cube trays for a cool treat; or make smoothies with unsweetened, non-dairy yogurt and frozen berries. Or consider a Lactobacillus acidophilus supplement; aim for 5 billion CFUs per day of Lactobacillus or bifidobacterium. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), an ayurvedic herb, boosts immunity by supporting and balancing adrenal

“Puberty and adolescence are marked by dramatic shifts in and surges of hormones,” says Dr. Richard Shames, of Sebastopol, California, co-author of Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? “This is monumental, as far as the developing immune system is concerned. As the immune system is directly linked to hormonal influences, any hormonal imbalance will affect overall immunity.” Shames recommends selenium—a potent antioxidant and general immune booster—to help balance hormones. For children ages 8 to 18, aim for 100 mg per day.

Let ’em Get Dirty

“Once a child has been exposed to dirt and germs, the immune system responds by trying to expel those bacteria from the body, which strengthens immu-

“The sun is our primary source of vitamin D, which has broad effects on the immune system,” Fuhrman says. “Depending on your skin tone and the local climate, about 15 minutes of full sun exposure a day will lead to natural production of sufficient amounts of vitamin D.” If kids have dark skin or live in a cloudy region, they may need vitamin D supplements—at least 200 IU per day.

Laugh Out Loud

“You can give your kids the best food and nutrition, but if they have underlying sadness, their immune system will suffer,” remarks Sheppard. “When you’re happy and when you laugh, your brain releases chemicals that increase immunity.” Lisa Turner is a Colorado-based health writer.

SEAFOOD Navigate Today’s Best Choices Using Updated Guides

S. Palm Beach & N. Broward

by Judith Fertig

We love our seafood, a delicious source of lean protein. The latest data reports U.S. annual consumption to be more than 4.8 billion pounds of it, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with the average American eating 3.5 ounces of seafood a week. About half of the catch is wild-caught and half farmed. How do we know which fish and shellfish are safe to eat and good for ocean ecology?

T Individually, we are one drop.

Together, we are an ocean. ~Ryunosuke Satoro

Palm Beach Edition

he best approach is to choose seafood carefully. Oil spills, waste runoff and other environmental disasters can compromise the quality of seafood with toxic contaminants like mercury and other heavy metals and industrial, agricultural and lawn chemicals. These pollutants can wash out from land to sea (and vice versa). As smaller fish that have eaten pollutants are eaten by larger ones, contaminants accumulate and concentrate. Large predatory fish like swordfish and sharks end up with the most toxins. Beyond today’s top-selling shrimp, canned tuna, salmon and farmed tilapia, more retailers and restaurants are also providing lesser-known seafood varieties like dogfish and hake as alternatives to

napalmbeach.com

overfished species such as sea bass and Atlantic cod. These new-to-us, wildcaught fish can be delicious, sustainable and healthy.

Choices Good for Oceans

An outstanding resource for choosing well-managed caught or farmed seafood in environmentally responsible ways is Seafood Watch, provided through California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium. Information on the most sustainable varieties of seafood is available in a printed guide, updated twice a year. The pocket guide or smartphone app provides instant information at the seafood counter and restaurant table. Online information at SeafoodWatch.org and via the app is regularly updated.

The truth is that no one fish can be seen as a sustainability darling, because if it is, it’s sure to be overfished. ~ DailyFinance.com The Blue Ocean Institute, led by MacArthur Fellow and ecologist Carl Safina, Ph.D., supports ocean conservation, community economics and global peace by steering consumers and businesses toward sustainably fished seafood. It maintains a data base on 140 wildcaught fish and shellfish choices at BlueOcean.org. Hoki, for instance, might have a green fish icon for “relatively abundant” and a blue icon for “sustainable and well-managed fisheries,” but also be redflagged for containing levels of mercury or PCBs that can pose a health risk for children. As species become overfished, rebound or experience fluctuating levels of contaminants, their annual ratings can change.

Choices Good for Us

To help make choosing easier, Seafood Watch has now joined with the Harvard School of Public Health to also advise what’s currently safe to eat. Entries on their list of “green” fish, which can shift annually, are low in mercury, good sources of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and caught or farmed responsibly. If the top-listed fish and shellfish aren’t locally available, look for the Seafood Safe label, started by EcoFish company founder and President Henry

Lovejoy, which furnishes at-a-glance consumption recommendations based upon tests for contaminants. Labels display a number that indicates how many four-ounce servings of the species a woman of childbearing age can safely eat per month. (Find consumption recommendations for other demographics at SeafoodSafe.com.) Expert-reviewed independent testing of random samples of the fish currently monitors mercury and PCB levels. Lovejoy advises that other toxins will be added to the testing platform in the future. “My dream is to have all seafood sold in the U.S. qualify to bear the Seafood Safe label, because consumers deserve to know what they’re eating,” says Lovejoy. “We need to be a lot more careful in how we use toxic chemicals and where we put them.”

Retail Ratings

Some retailers also provide details on their seafood sourcing. Whole Foods, for example, offers complete traceability of the fish and shellfish they carry, from fishery or farm to stores. Their fish, wild-caught or farmed, frozen or fresh, meet strict quality guidelines in regard to exposure to antibiotics, preservatives and hormones. They also display Seafood Watch and Blue Ocean Institute ratings at the seafood counter. Wise seafood choices feed and sustain our families, foster a healthier seafood industry, support responsible local fisheries and keep Earth’s water resources viable.

SUPERB SEAFOOD According to Seafood Watch and the Harvard School of Public Health, the Super “Green” list includes seafood with low levels of mercury (below 216 parts per billion [ppb]) and at least 250 milligrams per day (mg/d) of the recommended daily consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids. It also must be classified as a Best Choice for being caught or farmed in environmentally responsible ways at SeafoodWatch.org.

The Best in July 2013

n Atlantic mackerel (purse seine, U.S. and Canada) n Freshwater Coho salmon (tank system farms, U.S.) n Pacific sardines (wild-caught) n Salmon (wild-caught, Alaska) n Salmon, canned (wild-caught, Alaska) The “honorable mention” list includes seafood that contains moderate amounts of mercury and between 100 and 250 milligrams per day (mg/d) of the recommended daily consumption of omega-3s. It also must be classified as a Best Choice for being caught or farmed in environmentally responsible ways at SeafoodWatch.org.

Cures in the Kitchen Dr. Mark Hyman is Fed Up with Our National Health Crisis by Judith Fertig

n the groundbreaking new documentary film, Fed Up, Dr. Mark Hyman prescribes a major overhaul of the diets of all family members in communities across America to prevent far-reaching unwanted consequences. Hyman practices functional medicine, which takes a whole-system approach to treating chronic illnesses by identifying and addressing their root causes, starting with poor diet. He is also the bestselling author of a series of books based on The Blood Sugar Solution.

What has your experience with Fed Up shown you about the root cause of many diseases? In Fed Up, I met with a family of five to talk with them about their health and understand the roots of their family crisis of morbid obesity, pre-diabetes, renal failure, disability, financial stress and hopelessness. Rural South Carolina, where they live, is a food desert with nearly10 times as many fast-food and convenience stores as supermarkets. The family’s kitchen was also a food desert, with barely a morsel of real food. There were no ingredients to make real food—only pre-made factory science projects sold in cans and boxes with unpronounceable, unrecognizable ingredient lists. This family desperately wanted to find a way out, but didn’t have the 36

Palm Beach Edition

knowledge or skills. They lived on food stamps and fast food and didn’t know how to navigate a grocery aisle, shop for real food, read a label, equip a kitchen or cook nutritious meals. Their grandmother has a garden, but never taught her children how to grow food, even though they live in a temperate rural area.

(now the number one reason for liver transplants). They also disrupt appetite control, increasing hunger and promoting overeating, and are biologically addictive. Sugar calories are the major contributor to heart attacks, strokes, cancer, dementia and Type 2 diabetes. Sugar is a root cause behind the tripling of obesity rates in children since the 1970s. As just one example illustrating government policy culprits, although poor people are disproportionately affected by obesity, the food industry vigorously opposes any efforts to limit the use of food stamps for soda. Every year, the U.S. government pays for $4 billion in soda purchases by the poor (10 billion servings annually) on the front end, and then pays billions more on the back end through Medicaid and Medicare to treat related health consequences that include obesity and diabetes.

What are the consequences if we don’t attack the problem of poor diet now?

I got the whole family cooking, washing, peeling, chopping, cutting and touching real food—onions, garlic, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad greens, even asparagus. After 12 months, the mother had lost 100 pounds and was off of blood pressure medication, and because the father had lost 45 pounds, he finally qualified for a kidney transplant. The son originally lost 40 pounds, but because he was stuck in a toxic food environment at school and only able to get a job at a fast-food eatery, he gained much of it back. I’m happy to report that he is now working to get back on track.

The costs of a poor diet are staggering: At the present rate, by 2040, 100 percent of the nation’s federal budget will go for Medicare and Medicaid. The federal debt soars as our unhealthy kids fall heir to an achievement gap that limits America’s capacity to compete in the global marketplace. At the same time, having 70 percent of young people unfit for military service weakens national security. In a detailed scientific analysis published in The New England Journal of Medicine, a group of respected scientists reviewing all the data affecting projected life spans concluded that today’s children are the first generation of Americans ever that will live sicker and die younger than their parents. Health issues due to poor diet comprise a national crisis. They threaten our future, not just for those fat and sick among us, but all of us.

How is sugar a primary factor in creating obesity?

For more information on Fed Up, visit FedUpMovie.com.

What results did the family see when they changed their eating habits?

Of some 600,000 processed food items on the market, 80 percent contain added sugar. Sugar calories act differently from fat or protein calories in the body. Sugar calories drive food addiction, storage of belly fat, inflammation and fatty liver

hether donning colorful tutus or making a marathon a girls’ day out, the current running scene is attracting a broader group of fitness-seekers mindful of the enhanced benefits of a more well-rounded approach. Rather than pursuing fierce competition and personal bests, these runners are focusing on social bonding and overall well-being, likely boosting their fitness success. Two main factors are fueling what’s shaping up as a new running boom: women and social media. “The first runningboom era was male-centric and competitive,” observes Ryan Lamppa, of Running USA. He’s referring to the 1970s, when, largely thanks to 1972 Summer Olympic marathon gold medal winner Frank Shorter and The Complete Book of Running, by James Fixx, many were inspired to hook up Walkmans, lace up sneakers and train for distance races. “Today’s running boom is female-centric, much bigger and more focused on health and fitness and completion, rather than competition.” Forget elapsed running time; just cross the finish line and have fun doing it, seems to be a growing mantra. Women’s participation hit an all-time high in recent years, comprising 56 percent of the more than 15.5 million runners finishing U.S. races sanctioned by Running USA in 2012 and 61 percent of U.S. half-marathoners in 2013.

napalmbeach.com 5/29/13 5:23 PM

“Women tend to be more social and more in tune with their health overall, and that’s definitely a driving force,” Lamppa says. Couple the female factor with social media-driven, nontraditional race events and the result is explosive. “Events are fun, community-centered and sometimes charity-driven,” Lamppa says of the many innovations, from paint-splashing 5Ks to mud-slinging obstacle course action, which attracted 4 million entrants last year.

Boosts Bonding

These trends could indicate America’s collective progress toward fitness as studies show the social factor plays a huge motivational role in participation. “I think running adherence strengthens when there is accountability and social support,” remarks Englewood, New Jersey, sports psychologist Greg Chertok, citing a meta-analysis of data in Sport & Exercise Psychology Review that backs his notion. For example, such social exercise events inspire happiness. “If you are physically close to someone that is happy, eager and optimistic, you are naturally going to share those feelings,” explains Chertok, who is also a spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine. “Just through social connectedness alone,

you’ll gain boosted performance and mood.” As a finisher of two Tough Mudders (an intense obstacle course challenge), Chertok can personally testify to the benefits of camaraderie. “It’s just like if a married couple got stuck in a storm and had to brave the elements; the act of doing something challenging together is very bonding.” Simply joining a recreational running group—also increasingly popular and often social media-driven—can bolster success. “When a bunch of individuals work together to pursue a common goal, they are incentivized by the group,” Chertok remarks. “You’ll run at a faster clip or go a longer distance if you are with a group, because each runner values the group and doesn’t want to let members down.”

Brings Balance

Mixing things up can also improve running performance and decrease risks of injury, enhancing long-term staying power. One study found that eight weeks of simple strength-training exercises by conditioned runners boosted their running performances over their conditioned, but non-strengthtraining peers, as noted in the Health &

Fitness Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. As for injury prevention, everybody, regardless of sport, needs to cross-train, advises Mindy Caplan, a wellness coach in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “In any sport that you engage in, you end up working certain muscles the same way all the time. Then those tighter muscles start to pull on the joints and without stretching, you end up with problems.” Moving the body in different ways helps, and working on stretching and flexibility can elongate muscles and protect tendons and joints. “The new runner of this second running boom has much more information about training, health and fitness, and injury prevention,” says Lamppa, who occasionally cross-trains by biking and includes some yoga-related stretching as part of his regular routine. “You have to have balance in your running as in your life. If you can get to that point, you will get a very positive response from your body and mind.” Freelance journalist Debra Melani writes about health care and fitness from Lyons, CO.

Simple Ways to Quickly Lift Your Spirits by April Thompson

inger-songwriter Pharrell Williams, whose infectious hit song, “Happy,” has spread joy worldwide, seems to know the secret to happiness. More than 1,500 people from 140-plus countries have posted their own happy video spinoffs at WeAreHappyFrom.com, inspired by his daylong music video featuring Los Angeles residents from all walks of life dancing and lip-syncing to the tune. Can happiness really be just a finger snap away? It depends on our unit of measurement—a moment versus a lifetime. Research by such authorities as Psychologist Martin Seligman, Ph.D., director of the University of Pennsylvania Positive Psychology Center, suggests that several basic ingredients are keys to long-term happiness, including a sense of purpose, engaging activities, quality relationships and achievable goals. Ultimately, happiness is a subjective state, gauged only by personal perception. Still, there are quick, simple things we can do to shift our mood into a higher gear, according to Jonathan Robinson, author of Find Happiness Now: 50 Shortcuts for Bringing More Love, Balance, and Joy Into Your Life. “Broadly, happiness shortcuts fall into two categories—those that help in letting go of negative emotions and those that help in tuning into or expanding positive feelings,” says Robinson. “The end result is the same.”

Practice gratitude. When the day’s affronts seem excessive, we can reframe them by counting our blessings mentally or in a journal. Review the day with an eye to everything that went right. “Soon, you’ll start to see everything as a gift,” observes Robinson. Pencil it in. Take a few moments at the start of each week to block out a little time every day for happy activities. Pay it forward. It doesn’t take much to make someone’s day, advises Robinson. Give someone a compliment or a piece of chocolate and watch their attitude instantly change, which in turn lifts you into their happy cloud. Sing and dance. Williams applies this secret: Moving our bodies and vibrating our vocal chords helps shake us out of our mental cages. “It’s hard to feel bad when you sing. It’s a choice: You can stay angry for four hours or sing for 15 seconds,” Robinson notes. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple jumpstart to happiness. Research from the University of Arizona shows that as little as a forced smile not only releases stress-fighting neuropeptides and moodlifting serotonin in the brain, it activates a chain reaction of happiness around us. Connect with freelance writer April Thompson at AprilWrites.com.

This fall, the University of California-Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center will host the first public online course on the Science of Happiness. According to Dacher Keltner, Ph.D., professor of psychology and founding director of the center, the university’s metaanalysis of research indicates that 50 percent of our happiness level is tied to genetics, while only 10 percent stems from our environment. “Therefore, about 40 percent of your happiness is up to you,” remarks Keltner. Students will learn practical, scientifically tested strategies for nurturing their own happiness and tracking progress.

LOVING WHAT IS By Byron Katie

know this book has been out for awhile but I felt inspired to mention it here in this column. It is a truly wonderful and transformative book and even if you are already familiar with it, it might be time to take another look. Byron Katie is the originator of a system she refers to as ‘The Work’, a series of four questions that when contemplated deeply, and applied to our feelings towards any challenge, can completely change our relationship to that challenge. “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem”, states Katie. “When I argue with reality, I lose – but only 100 percent of the time.” This is one of her quotes that she uses often in her work. She frequently speaks of the only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what it actually occurring. And how do know that something that is happening should, in fact, be happening? Well, because it is. And so the question presents itself: How are we to interact with the situation based on our beliefs about it? She suggests we get in touch with what our story or belief around the situation is and go through the four questions. The four questions are: • • • •

Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it is true? How do you react, what happens, when you realize that thought? Who would you be without that thought?

The book is full of wonderful examples of people doing ‘The Work’, in the step-bystep fashion she recommends, to illustrate how powerful the process can be. The complete worksheet is also available online to download to do the process yourself. In the following excerpt she talks about our stories and the thoughts behind them. Becoming Aware of Your Stories I often use the word story to talk about thoughts, or sequences of thoughts, that we convince ourselves are real. A story may be about the past, the present, or the future; it may be about what things should be, or what they could be, or why they are. Stories appear in our minds hundreds of times a day – when someone gets up without a word and walks out of the room; when your boss invites you to come into his office, or when your partner talks to you in a certain tone of voice. Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t realize that they’re just theories. When you’re operating on uninvestigated theories of what’s going on and you aren’t even aware of it, you’re in what I call “the dream”. Often the dream becomes troubling; sometimes it even turns into a nightmare. At times like these, you may want to test the truth of your theories by doing The Work on them. The Work always leaves you with less of your uncomfortable story. Who would you be without it? How much of your world is made up of unexamined stories? You’ll never know until you inquire.

Looking for the Thought Behind the Suffering I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn’t caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there’s a thought that isn’t true for us. Once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it. Before the thought, you weren’t suffering; with the thought, you’re suffering; when you recognize that the thought isn’t true, again there is no suffering. That is how The Work functions. I have tremendous respect for Byron Katies’s work and recommend any of her books highly. 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. David A. Cronin is a spiritual coach, writer, lecturer and owner of Changing Times Books and Gifts, located in the Village Commons Shopping Plaza, 771 Village Blvd, Suite 202, West Palm Beach, FL 33409.

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

oldenseal (Hydastis canadensis) is actually one of our own native American plants, first used by the Cherokee tribes and introduced to the settlers, with references in medical writings going back to 1820. The Cherokee people used goldenseal as an antibiotic for skin diseases and wounds as well as for inflammation of the eyes. The plant is a low herbaceous perennial growing to about 30 cm high with flowers and inedible berries. The medicinal parts of the plant are the airdried rhizome with the root fibers, which are yellow, giving it its name. The taste is very bitter. The main biochemicals in goldenseal are isoquinoline alkaloids: hydrastine, berberine, and canadine. Berberine is the compound most studied and responsible for most of goldenseal’s effects. Berberine has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, protozoa, and fungi ranging from: Staph species, Strep species, Chlamydia species, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas species, Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, Giardia lambli, Leishmania donovani, and Candida albicans. That’s potent stuff! Berberine activates macrophages in our immune system. Berberine also has: antisecretory, hypotensive, sedative, antiinflammatory, antineoplastic, and astringent effects. Goldenseal (basically the berberine in it) has all these amazing effects and treatments: • Antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antifungal against a broad range as mentioned above. • Enhances the immune system by activating macrophage activity and increasing the white blood cell count. • Inhibits Helicobacter pylori, the nasty bacteria that helps cause stomach ulcers. • Treats gastritis, decreases gastric inflammation, and increases digestive secretions. • Promotes the production of saliva, bile, and digestive enzymes. • Anti-diarrheal, especially against toxins from Vibrio cholerae, E. coli, cholera, and traveler’s diarrhea. 42

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

• Antipyretic: reduces fever by increasing the immune system’s handling of fever-producing compounds from microorganisms. • Anti-inflammatory, especially for mucous membranes. • Antineoplastic: has been shown in research studies to kill certain brain tumors. • Antiseptic on external wounds and herpes labialis. • Treats irregular menstruation, heavy menstruation, and postpartum bleeding. • Eyewash and mouthwash for eye and gum diseases. • Treats external skin conditions such as: vaginal candidiasis, psoriasis, eczema, and athlete’s foot (fungus). Contraindications: goldenseal is contraindicated in people with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency, women who are pregnant or have a history of miscarriage, or during breastfeeding. Precautions and adverse effects: mucous membrane irritation, constipation, excitatory states, hallucinations, hypertension, and decreased vitamin B absorption. Goldenseal should not be taken with drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 3 A4 (a liver enzyme), since it inhibits that enzyme, thus causing those particular drugs to not be metabolized, and thus they stay around in the body longer and at higher concentrations. Dosage: 250-500 mg up to 3 times daily. As a mouthwash, add 1 teaspoonful of dried powder steeped in 1 cup of boiling water for 15 minutes; when cool, swish around in the mouth. William H.

Secrets & Benefits of Internal Qigong An Interview with Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack (Part 1 of 2) could running for 3 miles!! Jogging releases a flood of Cortisol and negative stress hormones that close off small capillaries, but Qigong does not. There is no stress response from Qigong (it actually reduces Cortisol in studies) and the level of full body circulation is even greater. Qigong noticeably improves blood circulation, digestion etc. A pleasant heat builds in the navel center bringing a quiet confidence and power within.

RP: Is this life force or Qi different in each person? JP: The Qi is one unified force. Some This interview was conducted by Richard Pearl, host of ‘Pearls of Health’ Radio Show for 20 years. Jeff Primack is a Qigong teacher that has studied with many Qigong masters from all over the world and has taught over 50,000 people in live seminars.

RP: What benefits does Qi provide and HOW does it accomplish healing? JP: Say you’re a battery… and the Qi is the

life force that keeps the battery going. When the juice inside is used up… the battery is lifeless. Qi is related to your lifespan. If people squander energy on arguing and negative pattern behavior than how can anyone increase energy? Qigong understands where people lose their energy and how to get it back. Yet, Qi has profoundly physical effects that unlock our potential. 5000 Years Ago Chinese Medicine said, “Qi Moves the Blood.” Standing still relaxed in a Qigong posture a person can circulate as much blood as they 44

Palm Beach Edition

people have more than others. On an extreme example, say a person has enough energy that they don’t need to sleep anymore. This is a very high level of Qigong. Most people need six hours of sleep, thus indicating our limited energy situation. Qi can be replenished by using breathing techniques, meditation, fasting, prayer, sun bathing etc. It is the same spirit or qi that moves through each person. Unity and oneness movements will take place all over the world and they will be based around Qi. It is all the same force in different amounts.

RP: Can a person have too much Qi coursing in their body? JP: Qigong theory states the “Ocean of

Qi” in the navel can never be filled. It has a vast reservoir allowing a lifetime of Qi to be stored. Only if it is blocked can there be too much energy. When spine and nervous system are out of alignment it is important to open meridians and do stretching routines. One cannot have too much qi, but it can be blocked and qigong exercises will help to open up the channels.

napalmbeach.com

People with abundant Qi have a grace and power about them that attracts people. New students frequently find their skin clears up and their eyes whiten. Blood circulates better helping more toxins leave the system. The benefits to having more Qi are the same as having better blood circulation. The PULSE of your heartbeat is the foundation of life, but Chinese medicine has a dozen different pulses that Western medicine has not yet discovered. When people do Qigong for the first time they are often surprised to see their fingers pulsate and fill up with blood. The warmth people feel in the navel is also from the increased blood flow.

RP: You speak about euphoric “highs” that can be attained from breathing techniques. What is the value of this in practical real world terms? JP: Everyone wants to feel good. Alcohol

transforms our mental state, but also destroys the liver. Qi has no side effect except making you feel full of vitality. Its highs are beyond words. Sometimes the Qi will vibrate throughout our body in such a blissful way as to feel we are being touched by

God. All without chemicals or man made products that cost money. The Qi being free, abundant, right under our nose, makes it the ultimate ally to rise above life’s obstacles. Once you get the hang of the breathing techniques there comes the ability to have a natural high anytime. Sometimes euphoria is so profound that it can erase negative emotional patterns presently going on. The ability to drop bad Qi quickly trains the student to be without heavy emotional vibrations.

RP: Jeff, give us a brief overview of the Qi Revolution seminar. JP: People generate energy in graceful

qigong routines. The entire audience feels a profound electro-magnetic QI energy in their hands. In addition to movements, Spine-tingling breathing techniques are employed; yoga, food-healing principles from naturopathic medicine and an extraordinary healing-breath-prayer circle. The seminar gives the ultimate “activation” to one’s internal energy. Once the candle has been lit (metaphor for overflowing the Dan Tien), it is easy to maintain its radiance. Simply practice Qigong. All ages and fitness levels can participate. (Part 2 of the interview appears next month) “Qi Revolution” comes to Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center on October 11th -14th. Jeff Primack and 35 Instructors will teach 4-days of Qigong Training for $149. To reserve tickets & for more info, call (800)-298-8970 or visit www.QiRevolution.com
