It may well be that a society’s greatest madness seems normal to itself. ~Alan Bloom

“J

ust like no two persons are the same (except for identical twins), so are no two cancers the same,” says Dr. Bruce Berman, of Palm Beach Holistic Center in Jupiter, Florida. “Each tumor has its own genetic makeup and its own reaction and sensitivity to chemotherapy and natural substances.” The crux of the treatment plan used at Palm Beach Holistic Center is the RGCC Gen Lab blood test done in Greece.

“This cutting edge test, with only a little blood drawn from the patient, can tell us specifically, scientifically and quantitatively, if the tumor will be killed or affected by any of 65 natural substances or any chemotherapy drugs,” explains Dr. Berman.

“Armed with this information, the patient and myself can determine the best route to address treating their tumor to help them resume a normal life. We plan a treatment regimen involving high dose IV nutrients, lifestyle changes and other modalities that change the environment that allowed the cancer to form in the first place, so that it cannot return.” Personalized cancer care, individual treatments based on your unique individuality are offered at the center.

For more information call the Palm Beach Holistic Center at 561-935-1090. 675 W. Indiantown Road, Suite 100, Jupiter, FL 33458.

DISTANCE HEALING WITH CRISTOVÃO BRILHO For Anyone Anywhere In The World

W

hen you are dealing with energy, there is no such thing as time or space. Distance healing is based on quantum physics discoveries that energy is not restricted to any time and location. In distance healings, energy is manipulated and guided by the mind, thus making it a very advanced method of healing.

A distance healing session is a healing conducted when the person receiving the healing is not present. The person receiving the healing does not have to be aware of the session in order to receive its benefits and energy can be transmitted over any distance.

Cristovão uses the person’s name to obtain all of the person’s energetic information. It is very important to put into movement all the blocked energy that the person has in their body. The unblocking of the energy has to occur at a cellular level, thereby opening up energy centers balancing the energy on the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, thus bringing the result to the physical body. An individual’s energetic body contains his or her complete energetic information, including all organs, parts and systems of the physical body.

When performing a distance healing, Cristovão is able to identify all of the person’s imbalances through the person’s name. Once the healing session begins, a spiritual doctor is sent to the location where the person is and the doctor will work on the person’s energetic field.

Cristovão performs similar techniques as to those used when working with the person physically present. Healing by energy at long distances, a modality considered to be medicine of the future, can be very effective and has many advantages. Distance healing and energy work is perfect for assisting those who cannot come to us in person, in situations that need spiritual assistance and also to help those who do not believe in this type of healing. www.myenergyhealing.com

Good Samaritan Medical Center Partners with Mary Crowley Cancer Research Centers to expand cancer research options

T

he Cancer Institute at Good Samaritan Medical Center is teaming up with Mary Crowley Research Centers in an effort to increase clinical cancer research trial options.

Mary Crowley Cancer Research Centers is a leader in conducting innovative clinical trials and is pleased to join forces with Good Samaritan’s leading regional oncology center and Palm Beach Cancer Institute. To date, Mary Crowley Cancer Centers’ commitment to advance cutting edge therapies to cancer patients has resulted in their administration of more than 300 FDA-approved clinical trials. Operating in compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the early phase clinical trials offered by Mary Crowley Cancer Research Centers are more specialized, less toxic, and exquisitely designed to target key molecular pathways that impact cancer growth, while minimizing harm to the body’s healthy cells.

“The association of this dynamic col-

laboration furthers our multi-disciplinary team’s goal of helping to restore health and hope to our patients at The Cancer Institute, our hospital’s award-winning oncology center,” said Mark Nosacka, CEO of Good Samaritan Medical Center. “Our ability to have Mary Crowley clinical trials available on our campus extends our commitment to be one of the leading cancer centers in the area.”

As a Mary Crowley research site, the hospital will work on a proven patientcentric model that allows the physicians to take the most promising laboratory discoveries and tailor options to the patient’s genetic profile. Their mission is to expand treatment options for all cancer patients through investigational vaccine, gene and cellular therapies. While Mary Crowley offers multiple advanced research options for many forms of cancer, one of these trials, a tumor cell vaccine for high-risk stage III

newsbriefs The Duncan Center to host Deliver the Dream…a special retreat for some special kids and their families!

T

he Duncan Center will be hosting Deliver the Dream, a non-profit respite and retreat program that serves families facing serious illness or crisis by offering retreat weekends at no cost to the family. Deliver the Dream has two retreats scheduled for this summer…June 28-30 and July 2628 both to be hosted by the Duncan Conference Center. All families are assigned a fun “family pal” volunteer who assists parents with the children so that the parents can have alone time, who plays with the siblings and who helps the sick child forget their illness if only for a few days.

Coventry Health Care of Florida is sponsoring this July’s retreat.

Last year, Nicholas Wolf, 9, and his family were on a retreat when an impending storm cut their fun short. As a result, Nicholas and his family have been asked to come back this July. Nicholas was diagnosed with PNET (a brain tumor) when he was 7 years old. He has undergone several surgeries and due to a relapse, will be on chemotherapy for the next two years. Nicholas’ dad, James, his mom, Christina, and brother Scott, 7, will be in attendance at Deliver the Dream’s retreat at the Duncan Conference Center.

The Duncan Conference Center is pleased to be a part of this wonderful event.

About Duncan Conference Center Duncan Conference Center is located on five serene tropical acres and welcomes over 500 diverse groups a year. It was built in 1985 by the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida as a Conference Center.

It has meeting spaces for up to 200 people, an outdoor labyrinth, a beautiful chapel with indoor labyrinth, meeting spaces, lodging for up to 80 people, a dining room and a large pool and spa.

About Deliver the Dream Deliver the Dream, Inc. is a non-profit respite and retreat program that serves families facing serious illness or crisis by helping them to enhance coping skills, reduce stress, and cultivate relationships.

Deliver the Dream offers retreat weekends, which combine traditional recreational activities like hiking and fishing, with therapeutic workshops, peer-to-peer discussion groups and expressive arts and music activities. The retreats are provided at no cost to participants.

Nearly 6000 family members throughout the Southeast have attended a Deliver the Dream weekend since retreats began in the Fall of 2002.

Arriving at Hannah’s Home hopeless and homeless, we are dedicated to serving each woman and child with integrity, dignity and respect as we help them become independent and productive members of society. We offer support throughout their pregnancy, whether they choose parenting or adoption, and for up two years after their baby is born.

Our innovative long-term program focuses on transformation in all areas of life; spiritual, physical, emotional, and educational. Each woman that graduates leaves the home equipped to carry out her personal responsibility as a member of her community.

Since January 2011, we have housed 19 women and their babies and offered support and referral services to over 500.

However, each month we turn away over 20 girls that need help. We have been blessed with three acres of land and would like to expand to be able to serve over 20 women and their children. This year, we plan to begin the process of expanding our program and facility. The first phase of expansion includes building a childcare center and adding an additional four rooms onto our current building to double are capacity.

Hannah’s Home is a private program, solely dependent on individual donations, private foundations and grants. We invite you for a visit to our home to learn how you can help make a difference. You will be blessed! For any additional information, please contact Angela Finnegan at 561-277-9823.

veryone’s looking for a slice of paradise that serves up a peaceful vacation spot. The Everglades International Hostel, near Florida City, has been welcoming visitors to its tranquil haven just off the Florida Turnpike for 16 years. Renowned as an “urban oasis,” the hostel treats visitors to an Old Florida-style tropical retreat rich in natural wonders, yet within hailing distance of Miami amenities.

A communal kitchen, dorm and camping facilities complement a full range of pet-friendly private rooms and baths as well as family and group dorm accommodations. The surrounding lush grounds feature a rope tree house, tropical gardens and a waterfall for cooling off during hot days. Everglades tours and canoe rentals can also be arranged and guests often enjoy unexpected and spontaneous entertainment on the premises.

Traveling artists periodically call this idyll home. This month the hostel hosts special guest Rafa El Raheem, a qi gong and Tai chi teacher and wellness coach with the Shin Wellness Center, in Miami.

He’ll be leading classes and weekend retreats throughout July.

For more information, visit EvergladesHostel.com or call 305-248-1122. The hostel is positioned as a jumping off-point for Everglades adventures (10 miles west) and Key Largo (30 minutes south).

newsbriefs AN INVITATION TO YOUR AWAKENING

I

have often found myself in a place where there was something that I wanted to share; an insight, a knowing, a Truth. I see the value of it, and the potential for shifting one’s life or perspective in the knowing of, and application of the same. The challenge comes for me, in the how of it. We have so many vehicles for transmitting information and even Truth. Most are hungry for it even if they do not recognize it as such; a hunger to know the Truth. We often will distract ourselves, unintentionally, from this fundamental need to know or remember with the details of our lives, and they can be many.

Yet, when pondered, most will come to the realization that there may or must be more to Life-- or that something is missing.

Who ponders? Our society does not really support remaining in a question; to sit with something until it is revealed. We have, at our disposal, vast amounts of instantaneous information, and the potential to satisfy that need or prompting before we actually realize that there is one. We can put more information in, and temporarily quench a thirst or scratch an itch. Unfortunately, it comes back.

I continue to be amazed by all the ways that one can be on a spiritual path.

I am in a unique position as the Director of the Jamar Enlightenment Center to have seen thousands and thousands of uniquely individual paths. Each path offering and potentially providing a life map, of sorts, to organize your information on or in. Our society, in an unrecognized attempt to be in the moment, uses things like Facebook, or a better example, Twitter. Both try to capture and record a moment. Both are a technological attempt to be present and to connect without recognizing it as such.

There is the obvious connection but there is some much more that it going on. Most will never really recognize it as the urging to connect at a fundamental level with Self or Life, to capture and save the moment.

The internet is a wonderful thing. It affords so much, but when knowledge remains separate from the individual it is not integrated as experience. Many are satisfied by another’s experience without the experience themselves. A map of a sacred

12

and spiritual place is not the same as the destination; of the fundamental shifting that can occur from taking that journey itself.

We end up coveting and celebrating the maps of others as exact and complete paths, without realizing that the map was left for you so that you might arrive at the destination yourself- and not celebrate the map. Most paths are the pointing to, and/or the pull of, something that seems greater. It is never separate, but often it is experienced that way. The thing we search for, the thing that we know is missing, the thing we desire most whether we realize we desire it or not, is always there already.

The challenge for most is to recognize that.

There is a veil, once pierced, that will put you in direct union with the Truth. It was always there already, but it can require not only the effort to notice the pull, but the courage and commitment (Yuck Words) to take action.

You are not the narrative in your head.

Yet, it remains your constant companion and confidant, directing and interpreting life from its very limited experience and understanding. It needs things to make sense, and will twist and change all that it sees so that it does, and is understandable, even as it uses spiritual terms to do it.

I woke up the other day from a dream that was at the time of the dreaming, real.

Upon awakening, I had the facilities to recognize that as I was now awake, that the dream was not real. I still felt affected by, and in the process of all that had transpired in that dream. Yet I could remind myself that it was not “real”, and thereby attempt to release myself from all the ways it was still affecting me: physically, mentally and especially, emotionally, based on the thoughts that were moments before, very “real”. Reminding myself that it was not or is not real, gives me a quick out. I can, as I am enrolled in that new understanding, quickly wholesale release myself from a reality that moments ago affected everything.

Moments ago it was the whole perspective that I experienced life by or through. There is a freedom in that releasing, especially if I found it unpleasant.

I have found that the same principal

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

is true and can be applied to this waking state. I can recognize that there is a potential to see that so much of what I am experiencing is not real. The experience that I am having is real, but it is based on what it is not real. The applications are endless when I see that so much of my experience is based on my mind’s interpretations, which are by their very nature, flawed. I am not flawed, but the tool I have been using to measure and interpret all that transpires around me is. I can see that in any given moment I could interpret any situation in a hundred different ways, each creating a unique experience, but it may be that none are actually the reality of what is unfolding.

There is no maliciousness in this. It is not a direct attempt to be asleep, but, likewise, it is not an attempt to wake up either.

How many layers of dream were there in the movie Inception that Leonardo DiCaprio starred in—six or seven? At least in The Matrix, you only had to wake up once; the red pill or the blue pill. Those movies are closer to the Truth than most realize.

There is a potential for a fundamental shifting of one’s consciousness by becoming aware of the Truth of what is already present, of what is actually real. That is the crux of the matter in one statement.

The challenge is to realize that there is something to potentially wake up from.

“Enlightenment” is a word that we use that describes an event or a state of awakening that is already present but often unexperienced. The word is not the state, but points in the direction of what we call the experience of when one is in direct contact with Truth. You can directly experience yourself, another or life. You can have an Enlightenment Experience. It is necessary to step out of one’s life to give you the best opportunity to break through the veil. It is worth whatever effort that it takes to accomplish this. Whatever effort it takes!!

I have never experienced anybody who was disappointed by the Truth, once experienced. When you directly experience yourself, you are no longer working

from the dream about yourself, who you are, why you are here, how you should be, what you are to do, etc. and so on. You now have had a fundamental shift in your consciousness about this one thing in particular, and you can get on about the living of your Life from that understanding. What you know is You and not the idea or dream of you. Whatever it takes, it is worth it, whatever. This is why we are here, to wake up. We need you awake, we need you in your life, not your costuming.

The freedom of Self from the direct experience of self can never be lost. It is a door once opened that is always available. The extraordinary things that occur as a result of this fundamental understanding are not easily communicated because of the vast potential that a core realization about You offers. Bliss, joy, freedom, permission, passion, aliveness, contentment, solidness, fearlessness, knowingness, are a few that jump to mind. I have trained for many years to master Enlightenment Intensives, and have been on this specific path for over twenty years. I host them for us both… so that you might experience what I have and so that I might continue to remember myself.

This offered me so much that I wanted you to have it the opportunity as well. Come, let us set aside a time for you to remember. The days grow shorter and the dream grows stronger.

Choose to wake up.

M

idwife Judith Kaplan offers natural, personalized and intervention-less birth options at Toppel Family Place adjacent to Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

South Florida families find that it is increasingly difficult to find a hands-off approach to birth, with cesarean section rates soaring to over 50%, and topping 70% in some areas. Many families choose to birth at home or in a birth center to avoid elective interventions with potential side effects that can lead to cesarean sections. Alternatively, many families that prefer proximity to a hospital for birth have chosen this natural birth option. From as far north as Jupiter and as far south as Coral Gables, most of Midwife Judith’s clients are actively involved in preparation for childbirth through classes and practice, and desire to participate in plans and decisions. Many opt to immerse in Judith’s Birth Pool for comfort during labor, work with a doula (certified birth partner) and create a sacred birth ambience through dimmed lights, music and aromatherapy in their private birth room. The birthing family’s birth plans and wishes are given the highest respect by hospital staff members, who are enthusiastically supportive of natural birth options, as is Dr. Michael Fleischer, Judith’s back- up obstetrician. Common birth plans include free movement during labor, intermittent fetal monitor, alternative birth positions, father’s involvement in the birth, skin-to-skin infant bonding, delayed cord clamping, exclusive breast feeding, a hands-off approach to the baby and alternatives in pain management (epidural is also possible).

newsbriefs What Does Your Ideal Life Look Like?

When was the last time you really checked in with your heart to ask, “What makes me happy?”

When was the last time you allowed your desires to dictate how you spent your day? Your week? Your life?

I

f these questions are making you think, keep reading!

Not only is it possible to live in accord with what you desire, it’s the law! The Law of Attraction, that is. The Law of Attraction asserts that what we focus on becomes our vibrational frequency. We then attract people, situations and possessions with similar vibrations which creates the reality we experience.

Do you see what this means? Through our personal desires, we each write our life story, whether consciously or unconsciously. It’s natural to deny this truth when things around us are not ideal. After all, who would consciously choose anything less than ideal? Who would make the choice to be unhappy?

If you have not been asking yourself what makes you happy, you have not even given the Law of Attraction a chance to help you. It’s like going to restaurant and, when the waiter comes to take your order, saying, “Just bring me whatever you like.”

“What if every word you said was a wish to the universe? Would you still say the same things that you did yesterday?

Your thoughts and words echo throughout the universe. Make sure to only put out ones that you want back!”

- Anonymous As an educator, reflexologist and life wellness coach, one of my primary goals for my students and clients is to get them thinking about what they desire. For many of us who have gotten out of the habit of thinking about what we want, putting other people’s needs first, we may be a bit rusty. One of the fastest ways to get back into touch with what you really desire is to recall your favorite childhood memories.

What did you do as a child? What feelings did you have while doing it? Children naturally do what appeals to them.

Without societal pressures, judgments and responsibilities, children follow the path to whatever delights them. One of my clients recalls baking cookies as one of her all-time favorite childhood activities, yet she had not baked in years! Once she tapped into that memory and began baking again, her delicious cookies were in demand by her family and friends. She began giving batches out as holiday gifts and the demand just continued to grow.

She initially felt overwhelmed that even her hobby had become burdensome until she contemplated one of my all-time favorite questions, what feels better? My client confided she really wished she could just quit her job and bake all day. When she said it out loud, she actually laughed with joy but also with trepidation. How could she possibly just do what she wanted to do all day? Easily! It began with her allowing

the possibility to take root and grow. She began taking cookie orders and, within six months, she quit her job and now bakes for restaurants and catering companies.

Reflexology has been my ideal career for over 40 years. I love helping my clients achieve the deep level of relaxation and healing they so deserve! And I get tremendous satisfaction each time one of the graduating classes from my professional reflexology certification program start to help their clients relax, rejuvenate and discover their own ideal selves. Give yourself the opportunity to remember your ideal life. You deserve to be happy!

newsbriefs Why Gentle Swim Lessons for Infants, Toddlers and Tykes?

A

s parents, we are constantly faced with choices on how we parent. Some decisions are small, everyday choices; other decisions are larger and more philosophical. Choosing how you teach your child about water, swimming and safety is one of the later…a choice that adds to and reflects your growing parenting style, how you view your role as a parent and how you view childhood, early learning, development and growth.

Serenity Swim at Lifestyle Swim School in Boca Raton, under the leadership of internationally renowned swim experts Rob and Kathy McKay, offers parents a holistic view of parenting and child development.

The school offers a positive outlook on water and aquatic education. Water is respected as a beautiful, spiritually aligned, fluid, natural element. Water is a facilitator

of learning, a pleasurable medium to be in and play with your child, an element to be respected, not feared. Parents are actively involved in the water with the child as co-teacher…just as naturally as at home. Parent- child, skin to skin bonding takes place in the refreshing and soothing medium of the pool. Class is in a group setting, often in circles and circuits, so we can all peer-learn, emulate, share and celebrate together. Toys, games and songs help children learn on multiple levels and enhance the experience.

Our intent…gentle, playful, happy and teaching at the child’s pace, just makes sense when dealing with babies, toddlers and tykes (ages 3 month thru 4 years old) who are in the formative years of personality development. It’s a sane, aware, rational and pro-active approach that follows accepted educational science and philosophy for this age group (think Waldorf, Montessori, or Reggio Emilia) and cutting edge brain development and research. During the learning process, the young child is seen as a human being… body, mind, spirit, emotions…who is to be treated not with dominance or intimidation, but with respect and awareness. We

do not “pamper , but we do nurture the developing being by planning programs that are age and developmentally appropriate and involve play, fun and joy. We are not going to put the “ cart before the horse” and offer too much, too soon, too often… but rather watch for signs of readiness and offer skills as the child is relaxed and ready to learn. Parents and teachers are “in the moment” with the child, involved in the process and celebrating exactly where they are… each small goal along the way.

Achieving the skill or the result is never more important than the whole child.

Learning water safety is viewed as a growing, sequential group of skills earned from a comfortable, relaxed, solid foundation toward competency and proficiency.

And just like baby proofing dangerous areas in the house, or preventing your child from running into the street, the role of the responsible parent is to provide a comprehensive and layered water safety plan where the swimming safety skills employed by the baby are the last layer. The difference in aquatic programs for the very young is dramatic. Lifestyle Swim School has always offered the most natural, playful, positive, and tear-free introduction to swimming. We have continually evolved the program over 32 years honing it to create an optimal, child-friendly, familyfriendly, learning-friendly environment.

We hope you’ll join us in the very special community of learners we have established.

Rob and Kathy McKay are the Directors of Serenity Swim at Lifestyle Swim School on the FAU campus in Boca Raton, Florida.

Their book Learn to Swim (DK Publishing) and video series Diaper Dolphins I and II have been enjoyed worldwide by parents and teachers. Rob is a recipient of the Virginia Hunt Newman and Paragon awards at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. The couple’s gentle teaching methods are the subject of numerous magazine, newspaper and television reports around the world. Both are Reiki Level II practitioners.

The walks are open to the public (children 8 years old and above) and are held 8:00 -11:00 PM (or later) depending on the turtles.

Finally, On Sunday, July 21, from 1:00-3:00 PM Ranger Rob will instruct kids and adults on the basics of surfing. The lessons will be held on land and in the water and kids must be at least 10 years old to participate.

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. MacArthur Beach is truly an “Island in Time.”

newsbriefs Different Causes of Obesity and Treatment with TCM

W

ith years of clinical experience in successfully treating weight loss Dr. Meng has found many patients misunderstand obesity; often thinking only of body fat. Many people only focus on trying to lower body fat and are often disappointed by the lack of results.

What is Obesity?

Obesity is medically defined as being 20% or higher above the normal weight and is typically divided into two types: pathological and physiological. Pathological obesity refers to weight gain due to factors that can be changed, such as diet, lifestyle, curing temporary illness, adjusting medications, etc.

Physiological obesity refers to people whose bodily function is more deeply impaired such as in cases of endocrine and genetic disorders, and physical trauma such as brain damage or organ removal. Pathological types of obesity can be treated with Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) very effectively and with great results whereas physiological types are much more difficult and in some cases impossible to treat.While fat is the most obvious source of extra weight it’s not the only one and for some people it is not even the most important one. The accumulation of wastes inside the intestines, water retention, stress and hormonal imbalances also affect both weight gain and retention.

What Causes Obesity Stress is one of the most common causes of obesity and has two main ways that it leads to weight gain. The first is stress eating; whereby stress results in the urge to eat not to satisfy hunger but as a

means of coping with the stress. Chronic stress impairs the functioning of the internal organs, interferes in fat metabolism, and promotes fat storage, all of which results in weight gain.

Excessive secretions of gastric acid, which causes intense feelings of hunger that return shortly after eating, is another cause of obesity. People who have this type of obesity basically feel hungry all the time and that feeling of hunger is only very temporarily relieved by eating. In TCM this type of person is said to have a “roaring fire in the stomach”. Another cause of weight gain can be chronic constipation. With chronic constipation the fecal matter can become hard and compact and can interfere in the proper functioning of the large intestine. It becomes a snowball effect; the more fecal matter builds up the harder it becomes to remove it and the harder it becomes for the intestine to function correctly.

Hormone imbalance is another cause of obesity and affects women more often than men. During menopause, because of low levels of activity and hormonal imbalance, women are more susceptible to weight gain. Hormonal imbalances, in both men and women, can also trigger stress or emotional eating and thus lead to weight gain.

Water retention is one of the more serious causes of obesity. Acute edema, which can be caused by illness, allergy, or poor diet is generally much easier to treat than chronic edema. In TCM there are two types of edema; yin and yang, which roughly are equivalent to chronic and acute. Often times with chronic/yin edema weight loss is not possible until the body functions, especially those regarding water metabolism, are improved.

How can Dr. Meng Help with Obesity?

Regardless of the cause or type of obesity all people trying to lose weight need to watch what they eat. In TCM all foods have different qualities or properties and some foods that would be beneficial for one person may actually aggravate the condition of another. For example, someone with a cold should eat lots of garlic and ginger, whereas someone with stomach fire should avoid them. Therefore the standard dietary approach of many weight loss programs, whereby all patients are given the same diet to follow, is not optimal and can be an impediment to weight loss.

Dr. Meng’s weight loss program is unique because unlike most other approaches where one size/style/method fits all, each patient receives unique and customized treatment to maximize their individual weight loss success. Dr. Meng draws from years of personal experience and the rich history of TCM to develop the best course of treatment for each individual, whether it is acupuncture, food therapy, herbs, cupping, gua sha, or a combination of therapies.

iving Foods include those that are still "growing", like sprouts, active fermented foods like sauerkraut, and freshly harvested juices.

Sprouted nuts, seeds and grains become living foods when soaked in water to remove enzyme inhibitors so they can germinate. Sprouting increases life force and makes raw plant foods easier to digest.

Phytonutrients, micronutrients, and antioxidants give plant foods their specific colors, and help reduce risk for health conditions like cancer, heart disease, and premature aging.

It's important to eat all the colors of the rainbow every day.

The good news is that raw living foods can be both health promoting and delicious!

Cherie Soria, author of *Raw Food for Dummies, and founder of Living Light Culinary Institute (the world's foremost raw vegan culinary school) takes raw foods to the gourmet level.

She's coming to Florida in July to offer a one-day intensive course: FUNdamentals of Raw Living Foods. The comprehensive eight-hour course includes 18 rapid-fire culinary demos and several talks covering all the basics in raw food preparation.

newsbriefs Gold Medalist Finds the Life Aquatic at The Sanctuary Equine Sports Therapy Center

“I

choose to condition my horse at The Sanctuary because it is a state-of-theart facility with helpful and knowledgeable staff. Their aquatic services provide an excellent conditioning modality, which increases my horse’s stamina, while reducing the concussive forces experienced when racing and training. I believe this contributes to Jack’s performance and soundness,” says Denise Secino, of Oakhill Farm in Ocala, Florida, who has logged more than 1,400 endurance miles and 11 Top Ten finishes in 29 competitions with her 12 year-old Arabian gelding, Windstalker (aka, ‘Jack’).

Ten of those 11 top finishes have been since conditioning Jack at The Sanctuary Equine Sports and Rehabilitation Center, also in Ocala. “Fortunately, Jack hasn’t needed ‘formal’ rehabilitation but utilizing The Sanctuary swimming pool has enabled him to stay fit while recuperating after a traumatic fall during competition last November,” added Secino, who began riding competitively in 2006. The dynamic duo have competed in some of the most difficult and challenging endurance races in America, including The Vermont 50, Old Dominion (VT) 55, and Biltmore Challenge FEI 50 in North Carolina where, in 2011, Jack was fourth out of 93 starters and earned the AHA Best Arabian award.

“Jack was also 2012 Arabian Horse Association (AHA) National Reserve Champion in the 50-mile race, as well as being part of the Gold Medal team at the Adequan AERC/AHA National Championship at the Biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina last September.” More recently, the pair were fourth in the Charlotte’s Webb 50-mile race in Punta Gorda, Florida.

“The Sanctuary is proud of the great success it has earned over the years helping to rehab horses and get them back in the ring or condition horses that are competing,” says The Sanctuary’s general manager, Brenda McDuffee. “The great thing about our therapies for horses is that they are based on methods used for human rehabilitation. Just like human athletes who work

hard to condition their bodies, our horses deserve to be in the best condition so that they can compete at the top of their game.”

In addition to Jack’s favorite, the swimming pool, The Sanctuary’s services also offer The Aqua Pacer, an above-ground underwater treadmill with a revolutionary design that allows for safer, more effective exercise than comparable machines. The Aqua Pacer provides 40-60% buoyancy while giving horses an easier range of motion than traditional exercise. The mild impact of an underwater treadmill stimulates bone and cartilage growth while allowing for a low-impact, full-body exercise with natural resistance that is lighter on legs and joints, making the Aqua Pacer a safe alternative to post-surgical hand-walking, with reduced risk of recurring injury, better healing, and a speedier return to normal activity.

“The reduced concussion and controlled movement make it an excellent intermediate step before proceeding to full weight-bearing exercise. It is the perfect exercise when low impact conditioning is needed,” added McDuffee.

Denise Secino and Windstalker, aka Jack, are a top endurance pair that use swimming at The Sanctuary to keep Jack in top form. (Photo courtesy of Denise Secino)

Endurance racing is the ultimate test of peak performance. The Sanctuary provides top-shelf rehabilitation and conditioning for equine athletes at a world-class facility featuring some of the most advanced conditioning and rehabilitation equipment in the world, including Pegasus Laser Therapy, cold saltwater leg spa, AquaPacer treadmill, Electro-magnetic Pulse Therapy, Respiratory Therapy (Transpirator II) and equine pool.

T

MJ, more accurately called TMD, is a cycle of pain, muscle spasms, and jaw joint problems that results when the teeth, chewing muscles, and jaw joints don’t work together harmoniously. The letters “TMD” stand for Temporomandibular Dysfunction. This refers to problems with muscles and joints that join the lower jaw to the base of the skull.

Below is a signs and symptoms check list that we routinely use with our patients. Use this to give yourself a “self-test”.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Migraines Headaches (tension type) Facial pain Jaw joint pain Back, neck, cervical pain Postural problems (forward head posture) Pain in the face Difficulty opening of the mouth (commonly known as “Locked Jaw”) Pain in the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joints Pain behind the eyes – dagger and ice pick feelings Multiple bites that feels uncomfortable or, “off,” and continually changing Clenching/grinding teeth Teeth that are sensitive to cold Deviation of the jaw to one side The jaw locking open or closed Ringing in the ears, ear pain, and ear congestion Sinus like symptoms Dizziness or vertigo Visual Disturbances Tingling in fingers and hands Insomnia – difficulty sleeping

If you have any of these signs or symptoms it would be in your best interest to have your bite evaluated by a specially trained Neuromuscular Dentist. Because the cause of the problem is coming from imbalance of three systems: muscles, teeth and joint, it is necessary to have the right tools to diagnose and treat this condition and be able to track the progress and the changes a patient makes. With the K7 system, a Neuromuscular Dentist is able to get objective data and make much more accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.

newsbriefs AM I ON MY PATH

A

m I on my path a customer asked.

Then another. Then a third and fourth person. We had gathered for a Christopher Moon event at Dream Angels in Jupiter, and we each had the opportunity to ask one question. I noticed most of the questions revolved around each person wondering, “Am I on my path?”. So I began to question, “What does this mean, and why is it so important?” Is there a right or wrong way to “do” this life? Will we miss out if we don’t do certain things? What if we don’t “get it right” this time? What if we already missed our chance? How do we know?

To get the answers, I tuned into my Guidance from above, my Angels, and asked them to help me understand. Here’s

what they explained to me: Our journey is not to find our path, but to stay on it, (be true to ourselves in all ways at all times), and opportunities will arrive to keep us there. The frustrations we feel are when we “look” for our path, “out there”. Our path is internal and not something we need to find. When we feel like we are not happy with our current lives, we believe that happiness is to be found somewhere else.

In actuality, happiness is staying close to what makes our hearts happy. To live with integrity in all facets of our lives. By doing this, we notice our path and we stay on

Migraines?

Headaches?

Jaw pain?

Then I asked my Angels: “How do we know if what we are doing for a living is on our path?” (that seems to be what concerns most people.). They shared these seven signs:

DISCOVER

The power of neuromuscular dentistry.

1) You feel like there is an inner pull to do something, without really knowing what it is, like something calling you from the ethers. You think there must be something more to life, the life you currently have just isn’t satisfying anymore.

Through Neuromuscular Dentistry Dr. Natalia Tsar can help you achieve a pain free beautiful smile.

it, and that is the journey - the constant recalibration of staying between the lines of being our true selves. When we think, say, or do things that are out-of-step with our Divineness, we step off the path. This happens in instances of “white-lies”; of settling for less than what will make us fulfilled; of doing things to make others happy; of supporting ideas or theology that is incongruent with our values. It can show up as seemingly harmless as laughing at a distasteful joke, or staying in a co-dependant, abusive relationship, or working for a company that is dishonest.

If we agree with these acts on the outside while feeling opposite on the inside, are not in alignment with our true selves, so we have stepped off our path. It shows up in our lives as resistance - emotions of anger, stress, guilt, frustration, depression, or general unhappiness. So a happy life truly is a path of least resistance.

napalmbeach.com

2) Dedication that does not shake. A dogged faith in an idea or dream that you just won’t let you go. You would willingly make sacrifices for it, without even knowing what “it” may be. Think of the dedication in the movie Field of Dreams, it’s that kind of determination.

3) Circumstances beyond your control, sometimes crushing, start happening.

Situations such as job loss, divorce, health emergencies, loss of material possessions,

and other devastation may clear the way for you to follow, and help you step back on your path. You may also find that you no longer have anything in common with the people surrounding you, or that you lose your friends. Once the devastation settles, the path is clear.

4) Many synchronicities will lead you to your job and you speak of new information as if you already know it. It’s as if you are remembering instead of learning. Also, many of the things you’ve done in the past, can all be pulled together now.

5) A natural talent is used, usually, it’s something that came easily for you when you were younger. You could be a natural teacher, artist, speaker, writer, designer - anything that flows for you and is not forced.

6) Other areas of your life improve. You notice as you walk in your path of least resistance, other parts of your life, usually 2 of the big 3, (Health, Relationships, or Money) get better.

Out of the blue, these areas start receiving very healthy energy.

7) Many people are helped by you, in ways you never planned.. As you focus on your heart’s calling, you will naturally be of service in helping others. Since your heart will be happy, you’ll notice you are very passionate about your work, and it will emanate to everyone around you.

Tired of ANXIETY? Do you have anxiety – despite having been to top therapists and MDs? You don’t have to live like that.

We have a new client who broke a 30 year pattern of anxiety attacks. It interfered with work. The client had tried meds, psychotherapy, meditation, yoga, exercise, and alternative therapies.

Nothing worked. Nothing. We helped him change that pattern.

Think of it this way. Your brain can become VERY GOOD at anxiety (or insomnia or mood issues). How do you change it?

Stone Fruits Keep Waistlines Trim

A BEVY OF BERRY BENEFITS

S

ome favorite summer fruits, like peaches, plums and nectarines, may help ward off metabolic syndrome, a collection of conditions including high blood sugar levels and excess fat around the waist that can lead to serious health issues such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes. A study by Texas A&M AgriLife Research, presented at the American Chemical Society’s 2012 National Meeting & Exposition, reported that pitted fruits contain bioactive compounds that can potentially fight the syndrome.

According to food scientist Luis Cisneros-Zevallos, Ph.D., “The phenolic compounds in the fruits have anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties… and may also reduce the oxidation of the bad cholesterol, or LDL, which is associated with cardiovascular disease.”

Kudos for Kale

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s new food pyramid, MyPlate (ChooseMyPlate.gov), is based on its 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, aimed at helping people make better food choices. Fruits and vegetables should comprise half our “plate”, and dark green veggies are the USDA’s top choice of nutrients. Kale leads the list of helpful leafy greens for many reasons.

Like its cousins in the Brassica family—broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and collards—kale is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense powerhouse of antioxidants, including vitamins A and C. Per calorie, kale contains more iron than beef and more calcium than milk, and it is better absorbed by the body than most dairy products. A single serving (about one cup, chopped) provides 5 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, plus two grams of protein. The versatile veggie—it is tasty steamed, braised or baked—is also a rich source of both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.

Best of all, kale is a “green” green, high on the sustainability scale. Growing one pound of kale uses about 23 gallons of water; raising a pound of beef necessitates more than 2,400.

ICED TEA HAS ISSUES

I

t is peak season for iced tea, but this warm-weather favorite may not be the ideal choice to counter dehydration. Iced tea made from black tea contains high concentrations of oxalate, one of the key chemicals that lead to the formation of kidney stones, a common disorder of the urinary tract that affects about 10 percent of the U.S. population.

“For people that have a tendency to form the most common type of kidney stones, iced tea is one of the worst things to drink,” reports Dr. John Milner, an assistant professor with the Department of Urology at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine.

While all black tea contains oxalate, dietitians note that people tend to imbibe more of it when it’s on ice than when it’s hot.

electable strawberries serve up some sweet health benefits. Studying the effects of strawberries on cardiovascular health, heart disease and diabetes, scientists at the University of Warwick, UK, discovered that extracts from the fruit activate a protein called Nrf2, which increases antioxidant and other protective measures in the body and helps decrease blood lipids and cholesterol that can lead to cardiovascular problems. The scientists plan to continue their research in order to identify the most healthful varieties of strawberries, how they are best served or processed and the amount to eat for optimum benefits.

HEALTHY METAL

I

n the United States, healthcareacquired infections (HAI) result in 100,000 deaths annually and add an estimated $45 billion to healthcare costs. Common HAI microbes that often contaminate items within hospital rooms include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycinresistant enterococcus (VRE).

Few strategies have been clinically proven to reduce the spread of these infections, but copper’s antimicrobial properties are promising. According to a recent study published in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, placement of bed rails, tables, IV poles and nurse’s call buttons in intensive care unit hospital rooms reduced the number of HAIs in patients by more than half.

Nature’s Own Sports Drink

I

f Mother Nature chose an ideal sports drink for light-to-medium exercise, it might be coconut water, the clear liquid found most abundantly inside young, green coconuts.

That’s the conclusion reached by Indiana University Southeast lecturer Chhandashri Bhattacharya, Ph.D., in presenting his research to the American Chemical Society.

“Coconut water is a natural drink that has everything your average sports drink has and more,” says Bhattacharya. “It has five times more potassium than Gatorade or Powerade. Whenever you get cramps in your muscles, potassium will help you get rid of them.”

A 12-ounce serving of coconut water may also help balance the typical American diet, which is too low in potassium and too high in sodium derived from excess salt; individuals consuming such diets tend to have twice the risk of death from heart disease and a 50 percent higher risk of death from all disease-related causes. Coconut water is also high in healthful antioxidants.

Plasticizer Undermines Heart Cell Functioning

T

he chemical DEHP, a phthalate used widely in household plastics, may change how rat heart cells use energy, according to a new study by George Washington University, in the District of Columbia. By shifting heart cells to depend on fatty acids as an energy source more than usual, DEHP may ultimately increase the long-term risk of heart attack and heart failure.

The findings raise concerns about similar effects of plasticizers in humans. Earlier work from the same research team reported that DEHP causes irregular rhythms in cultured heart cells.

DEHP is frequently used for medical blood bags and tubing and is found in foods packaged in plastics, especially fatty foods like milk products, oils and fish or seafood.

PRE-PREGNANCY DIET MAY ALTER GENES

I

t’s common knowledge that a mother’s diet during pregnancy makes a measurable difference in the health of her child. Now, new research suggests that what a mom eats before becoming pregnant might be important, too. According to a study in the online edition of The FASEB Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, the foods eaten by a group of nonpregnant female mice chemically altered their DNA, and these changes were later passed on to their offspring. The DNA alterations, called “epigenetic” changes, due to an inadequate maternal diet dramatically reduced the animals’ ability to metabolize many essential fatty acids that are essential to health.

Strolling of the Heifers, a Vermont-based local food advocacy group, has released its second annual Locavore Index, tracking the availability and use of locally produced foods and ranking states based on their committed support. Using recent data from multiple sources, the index incorporates farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture (CSA) operations and food hubs in its per capita comparison of consumer interest in eating locally sourced foods, known as locavorism. The top five states for accessibility of local foods are Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Iowa; the bottom five are Florida, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada and Texas.

The organization’s Executive Director, Orly Munzing, says the purpose of the index is to encourage local food efforts by supporting farm-to-school programs, urging hospitals and nursing homes to purchase local foods and asking supermarkets to buy from local farms.

Mall Dogs

Humane Pet Nonprofits Follow the Crowds Animal welfare organizations serving cities around the country are discovering that shopping malls are ideal places to find forever homes for needy pets.

At the Coronado Mall, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Darlene Arden teaches volunteers to clicker-train cats and dogs to make them more adoptable. The SPCA in Cattaraugus County, New York, sets up a highly successful location for adoptions and raising donations in the Olean Center Mall every holiday season. The Dumb Friends League, in Denver, Colorado, maintains an off-site location at The Shops of Northfield-Stapleton, and the Collier County Humane Society, in Naples, Florida, turned a defunct pet shop in the Coastland Center mall into a thriving adoption center staffed by volunteers.

Some shelters motivate the public to embrace and encourage the technique of trap/neuter/release (TNR) as a way to control feral cat populations. Aimee Gilbreath, executive director of the Found Animals Foundation, states, “We launched the groundbreaking Michelson Prize and grant program aimed at developing a nonsurgical, single-dose sterilizing agent for cats and dogs. This type of product will help shift pet population control from lethal to non-lethal methods by dramatically reducing the number of pets coming into shelters.”

Bee Careful

Honeybee-Killing Pesticides Banned in Europe Colony collapse disorder, a mysterious ailment that has been killing large numbers of honeybees for several years, is expanding, wiping out 40 to 50 percent of the hives needed to pollinate many of America’s fruits and vegetables. Some beekeepers and researchers cite growing evidence that a powerful class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids, which hinder the bees’ brain learning function and leave them unable to make the connection between floral scents and nectar, could be a key factor.

Although manufacturers claim the pesticides pose no threat to bees, a recent British honeybee field study found enough evidence to convince 15 of 27 EU member governments and the Executive European Commission to support a two-year ban on three of the world’s most widely used agricultural pesticides in this category, starting this December. The action followed a European Food Safety Authority report in April that indicated these toxins pose an acute risk to honeybees.

One Life Yields Two Forests Jadav “Molai” Payeng spent 30 years single-handedly planting a 1,360-acre forest in his native India. The extraordinary, yet humble, eco-conscious farmer stands as a shining example of what one person can accomplish to make the world a better place. Now he is planning on devoting his next 30 years to planting another forest.

Payeng makes a living in the forest he planted, rearing cows and selling milk in the nearest town with his wife and three children. He says, “I feel sad when I see people felling trees. We have to save the nature, or else we all will perish.”

In 1979, when Payeng was 16, he began planting vegetation to transform the landscape after seeing wildlife perish from exposure along a barren sandbar near his home in northern India’s Assam region. Decades later, the lush ecosystem he created is now a safe haven for a variety of large and small species that include birds, deer, rhinos, tigers and elephants impacted by extensive habitat loss.

Hands Off

Protecting a Natural Laboratory The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is working to preserve a tract known as the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), a world-renowned freshwater research facility in Northwestern Ontario that takes research out of the lab and into the environment, where scientists can isolate the effects of specific pollutants on aquatic ecosystems.

Over the past four decades, research conducted at the ELA has provided scientific evidence of the environmental effects of acid rain, phosphorous and other pollutants that has informed policy around the world. With new pressures like climate change and poorly understood emerging contaminants such as chromite, nanoparticles and endocrine disrupters, the logic for continued support is strong.

IISD President and CEO Scott Vaughan emphasizes the mission is to be an independent, world-class research facility for freshwater ecosystems science, maintained “in the public domain and in the public interest.”

Poisoned Poisson Fish Rendered Scentless

by Pollution

Fish living in lakes tainted with metals are losing their sense of smell, prompting worries about dwindling populations, because when dissolved metals contact fish nostrils, their neurons shut down to protect the brain. Fish use their sense of smell to navigate murky waters, find mates and food, and avoid predators.

The effect of metals has been linked to impaired reproduction and growth, but this secondary, “covert toxic” effect is described by Keith Tierney, a University of Alberta assistant professor, this way: “If you can’t smell food or avoid predators, you’re more likely to die.”

The good news from Canadian researchers, as reported in the journal Ecotoxicology and Environment Safety, is that such harm to fish can be reversed. When study co-author Greg Pyle, a professor at Alberta’s University of Lethbridge, and his research team relocated yellow perch from Ontario lakes contaminated with mercury, nickel, copper, iron and manganese to a cleaner lake, the fish regained their sense of smell within 24 hours.

Most of the contaminated lakes involved have a metallic mix, making it hard to determine precisely which pollutants are to blame. Copper is high on the list of suspects; its agricultural and manufacturing use has more than doubled in the United States over the past three decades, according to the Copper Development Association.

Neotame is the New Aspartame NutraSweet, a formerly Monsanto-owned company, has developed a new version of Aspartame, called Neotame. It’s 3,000 times sweeter than table sugar and about 30 times sweeter than Aspartame. Not yet available directly to the public, Neotame is used to sweeten commercially processed foods, but is not required to be listed on package labels of non-certified organic foods. Neotame is more stable at higher temperatures than Aspartame, so it’s approved for use in a wider array of food products, including baked goods.

One of the byproducts created when our bodies break down these sweeteners is formaldehyde, which is extremely toxic even in tiny doses. In the U.S. National Library of Medicine, which contains more than 11 million medical citations, Neotame research fails to include any double-blind scientific studies on toxicity in humans or animals.

Nutrition expert Dr. Joseph Mercola notes that individuals experiencing side effects from Aspartame or Neotame can file a report with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at Tinyurl.com/FDASafetyReports.

Wonder Weave Natural Fiber is Stronger than Steel

Nanocellulose, a material derived from tree fiber and some grain stalks, could now potentially be sourced from blue-green algae in sufficient quantities to costefficiently create ultra-thin media displays, lightweight body armor, a one-pound boat that carries up to 1,000 pounds of cargo, and a wide range of other products. R. Malcolm Brown, Jr., Ph.D., a biology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, presented his team’s findings at an American Chemical Society conference as a major step toward “one of the most important discoveries in plant biology.”

Brown’s method uses genes from the family of bacteria that produces vinegar and secretes nanocellulose. The genetically altered algae, known as cyanobacteria, are entirely self-sustaining. They produce their own food from sunlight and water and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, offering a natural way to reduce this major greenhouse gas.

Brown says bacterial nanocellulose can be used to create ballistic glass, aerospace materials or even wound dressings, because it retains its stiffness and strength even when submerged in liquid. Its most obvious application would be in paper, cardboard and display industries.

Home Composting Boosts Sustainability

A 2012 report from the National Resources Defense Council notes that just 3 percent of uneaten food in the United States is composted, and landfill scraps account for 23 percent of all methane gas emissions. Composting, the process of decomposing organic matter into a nutrient-rich material, is an easy way to turn food scraps, lawn clippings, garden trimmings and other waste into natural garden fertilizer. Its relatively loose composition allows nutrients to pass into the soil quickly, and the practice reduces discards to landfills.

Compost material is not limited to what’s left on a plate after dining. Expand contents to include peels, cores and husks from fruits and vegetables generated during meal preparation, egg and nut shells, tea leaves and coffee grounds, bread, crackers and pet food.

Now, plates and cups made of sugarcane or corn, plus oil- and plant-based packaging, can also be added to the list. Pending legislation in California would allow products meeting certain criteria to bear “compostable” or “biodegradable” claims on packaging.

Manufacturers of compost bins are responding to increased consumer interest with convenient options. In addition to traditional plastic or metal containers and wood-sided bins, new high-quality, enclosed, compost tumblers offer quicker processing time, protection from animals and less odor. Advanced models include automatic, electric, indoor composters. (See more at EarthEasy.com/ grow_compost.html.)

Live composting in the form of vermiculture, or worm composting, teaches care for creatures and ecosystem sustainability.

Food scraps feed worms, which then produce nutrient-rich castings (excreta). (Learn more at GrowOrganic.com and RedWormComposting. com.)

Six Ways to Eat Safe

The Latest Facts about Organics, Pesticides, Seeds and More

by Melinda Hemmelgarn

H

ot fun in the summertime begins with fresh, sweet and savory seasonal flavors brought to life in al fresco gatherings with family and friends. As the popularity of farmers’ markets and home gardening surges onward, it’s time to feast on the tastiest produce, picked ripe from America’s farms and gardens for peak flavor and nutrition.

Similar to raising a sun umbrella, learning where food comes from and how it’s produced provides the best protection against getting burned. Here’s the latest on some of the season’s hottest food issues to help families stay safe and well nourished.

Local Organic Reigns Supreme

Diana Dyer, a registered dietitian and garlic farmer near Ann Arbor, Michigan, observes, “You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy local, and that’s kind of the same thing.” Purchasing local foods whenever possible has many merits, including shaking the farmer’s hand, asking about farming methods and developing sincere relationships. Buying local also supports the local economy and contributes to food security.

Yet “local” alone does not necessarily mean better. Even

34

small farmers may use harmful pesticides or feed their livestock genetically modified or engineered (GM, GMO or GE) feed. That’s one reason why the smartest food choice is organic, with local organic being the gold standard.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic certification label ensures that strict national organic standards—prohibiting the use of antibiotics, hormones and GM feed and ingredients—have been met. Plus, organically raised livestock must have access to the outdoors and ample time on pastures, naturally resulting in milk and meat with higher levels of health-protecting omega-3 fatty acids.

Still, organic naysayers abound. For example, many negative headlines were generated by a recent Stanford University study that questioned whether or not organic foods are safer or more healthful than conventional. Few news outlets relayed the researchers’ actual conclusions—that organic foods may reduce exposure to pesticide residues and antibiotic-resistant bacteria; children on organic diets have significantly lower levels of pesticide metabolites, or breakdown products, in their urine; organic milk may contain significantly higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids; and organic produce contains higher levels of health-protecting antioxidants.

Jim Riddle, former organic outreach coordinator at the University of Minnesota, in Lamberton, explains that organic farming methods are based on building and improving the soil, promoting biodiversity and protecting natural resources, regardless of the size of the farm. Healthier ecosystems, higher quality soil and clean water will produce healthier plants, which in turn support healthier animals and humans on a healthier planet.

Pesticide Problems and Solutions

Children are most vulnerable to the effects of pesticides and other environmental toxins, due to their smaller size and rapid physical development. Last December, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement that asserted, “Beyond acute poisoning, the influences of low-level pesticide exposures on child health are of increasing concern.”

The organization links pesticide exposure to higher risk for brain tumors, leukemia, attention deficit disorders, autism and reductions in IQ.

Because weeds naturally develop resistance to the herbicides designed to kill them, Dow AgroSciences has genetically engineered seeds to produce crops that can withstand spraying with both the systemic herbicide glyphosate (Roundup), and 2,4-D, one of the active ingredients in Agent Orange, used as a defoliant in the Vietnam War. The latter is commonly applied to lawns and wheat-producing agricultural land, even though research reported in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives links exposure to 2,4-D to birth defects and increased cancer risk. Dow AgroSciences’ new GE seeds await regulatory approval.

Eric Mader, program director at the Portland, Oregonbased Xerces Society for the conservation of invertebrates and pollinator protection, warns that broad-spectrum pesticides kill beneficial insects along with those considered pests. Mader recommends increasing the number of beneficial insects,

which feed on pests, by planting a greater diversity of native plants on farms and in home gardens.

Demand for GMO Labeling

Despite California’s narrow defeat of Proposition 37, which would have required statewide labeling of products containing GMOs, advocates at the Environmental Working Group and the Just Label It campaign are pushing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for nationwide GMO labeling. Responding to consumer demand, Whole Foods Market recently announced that it will require GMO labeling in all of its U.S. and Canadian stores by 2018.

Filmmaker Jeremy Seifert’s powerful new documentary, GMO OMG, should give the movement a major push, as well. The 2013 film explores the danger in corporate patenting of seeds and the unknown health and environmental risks of engineered food.

Seifert says, “I have a responsibility to my children to hand on to them a world that is not poisoned irreparably.” As for the promise that GMOs are required to “feed the world,” he believes it’s a lie, noting that it’s better to “feed the world well.”

Seed Freedom and Food Choice

Roger Doiron, founder and director of Kitchen Gardeners International, headquartered in Scarborough, Maine, celebrates Food Independence Day each July Fourth. Doiron believes that growing, harvesting, cooking and preserving food is both liberating and rewarding, and patriotic. More than 25,000

individuals from 100 countries belong to his nonprofit network that focuses on re-localizing the world’s food supply.

Food freedom starts with seeds.

Saving and trading heirloom, non-hybrid, non-GMO seeds is becoming as easy as checking out a library book.

Several libraries across the country are serving as seed banks, where patrons check out seeds, grow crops, save seeds and then donate some back to their local library.

Liana Hoodes, director of the National Organic Coalition, in Pine Bush, New York, is a fan of her local Hudson Valley Seed Library. The library adheres to Indian Physicist Vandana Shiva’s Declaration of Seed Freedom and makes sure all seed sources are not related to, owned by or affiliated with biotech or pharmaceutical corporations. In addition to preserving heirloom and open-pollinated varieties, each seed packet is designed by a local artist.

Finicky about Fish

Grilled fish makes a lean, heart-healthy, low-calorie summer meal. Some fish, however, may contain chemicals that pose health risks, especially for pregnant or nursing women and children. For example, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury, which is toxic to a baby’s developing nervous system. Both the EPA and local state health departments post consumption advisories that recommend limiting or avoiding certain species of fish caught in specific locations.

For several decades, Captain Anne Mosness, a wild salmon fisherwoman, operated commercial fishing boats in Washington waters and from Copper River to Bristol Bay, Alaska. She worries about the threat of pollution from industrial aquaculture, plus the effects of genetically engineered salmon on wild fish populations, coastal economies and ecosystems.

Mosness explains that AquAdvantage Salmon, a product of AquaBounty Technologies, was created “by inserting a growth hormone gene from Pacific Chinook and a promoter gene from an eel-like fish called ocean pout into Atlantic salmon.” She questions the FDA approval process and failure to address unanswered questions about the risks of introducing “novel” animals into the food supply, as well as related food allergies and greater use of antibiotics in weaker fish populations. “The salmon farming industry already uses more antibiotics per weight than any other animal production,” comments Mosness.

The FDA’s official public comment period on GMO salmon closed in April, but consumers can still voice concerns to their legislators while demanding and applauding national GMO labeling. GMO fish may be on our dinner plates by the end of the year, but with labels, consumers gain the freedom to make informed choices. Consumers can also ask retailers not to sell GMO fish. Trader Joe’s, Aldi and Whole Foods have all committed to not selling GMO seafood.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, antibiotics are one of the greatest public health achievements of the past 100 years. However, one of the most critical public health and economic issues we currently face is the loss of these drugs’ effectiveness, due in large part to their misuse and overuse in industrial agriculture.

Dr. David Wallinga, senior advisor in science, food and health at the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy, says that about 80 percent of all antibiotics are given to farm animals for two reasons: to prevent illness associated with living in crowded, stressful and often unsanitary conditions; and to promote “feed efficiency”, or weight gain. However, bacteria naturally mutate to develop resistance to antibiotics when exposed to doses that are insufficient to kill them.

Wallinga points out that antibiotic-resistant infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), cost our nation at least $20 billion annually and steal tens of thousands of American lives each year. Most recently, hard-to-treat urinary tract infections (UTI), were traced to antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria in chickens.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria exist in our environment, but are more likely to be found in conventionally, rather

36

than organically raised meat and poultry, which by law must be raised without antibiotics. Consumers beware: the word “natural” on food labels does not provide the same protection.

The good news is that according to Consumers Union research, raising meat and poultry without antibiotics can be accomplished at minimal cost to the consumer—about five cents extra per pound for pork and less than a penny per pound extra for chicken.

Banish Acid Reflux Eating Alkaline Can Cure the Burn

by Linda Sechrist

N

early everyone has some reflux, the upward backflow of the stomach’s contents into the esophagus connecting the stomach with the throat, or even up into the throat itself. When it occurs more than twice a week, reflux can progress from a minor irritation causing heartburn to gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. When the throat is most affected, it’s called laryngopharyngeal reflux, or LPR. Untreated, LPR can damage the throat, airway, and lungs. If left untreated, GERD can damage the digestive system and cause precancerous Barrett’s esophagus or even esophageal cancer.

“In the United States, the prevalence of esophageal cancer has increased 850 percent since 1975, according to National Cancer Institute statistics,” says Dr. Jamie Koufman who has been studying acid reflux for three decades as part of her pioneering work as a laryngologist, specializing in treating voice disorders and diseases of the larynx. She is founding director of the Voice Institute of New York and the primary author of Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure.

Koufman prescribes combining science, medicine and culinary arts to treat the ailment, which she mainly blames on the acidification of the American diet, along with increases in saturated fats, high-fructose corn syrup and agricultural pesticides.

Consider that almost all bottled or canned foods have an acidity level of 4 or lower on the pH scale—a key measurement in medicine, biology and nutrition, and significant in Koufman’s clinical research and conclusions from examining upwards of 250,000 patients. “Soft drinks are the major risk factor for reflux,” she notes.

A single statistic from the American Beverage Association highlights the prob-

Palm Beach Edition

lem: In 2010, the average 12-to-29-yearold American consumed 160 gallons of acidified soft drinks, nearly a half-gallon a day. “Trends in the prevalence of reflux parallel soft drink consumption over time, especially in young people,” says Koufman.

She clarifies that the term “acid reflux” is misleading because the problem centers on the digestive enzyme pepsin, which is manufactured in the stomach to break down proteins into more easily digestible particles. It is activated by the acid in high-acid foods.

“If there is no protein around that needs digesting, pepsin can gnaw on the lining of your throat and esophagus,” explains Koufman, who is a professor of clinical otolaryngology at New York Medical College. She has seen many reflux cases misdiagnosed as something else. “It’s common for doctors to mistake reflux symptoms of hoarseness, postnasal drip, chronic throat clearing, trouble

The wrong foods can eat us.

in swallowing or sore throat and cough for asthma, sinusitis or allergies.” She adds that heartburn and indigestion are sometimes treated with over-the-counter antacids, which are ineffective for these.

Koufman helps her patients, including professional singers, to overcome acid reflux with a two-week detoxification program consisting of a low-acid, low-fat, pH-balanced diet. “For two weeks, avoid acidic foods (nothing below pH 4),” she advises. “Eat fish, poultry, tofu, melons, bananas, oatmeal, whole-grain breads and cereals, mushrooms and green vegetables.

Refrain from fried foods, chocolate and soft drinks. Basically, consume nothing out of a bottle or a can, except for water.”

She remarks that reflux is definitely curable by following a proper diet, although it can still take up to a year for a person to become totally symptom-free.

Noted Integrative Physician Andrew Weil agrees with Koufman’s recommendations. He suggests developing an exercise and relaxation strategy, because stress and anxiety worsen reflux symptoms, as well as increasing fiber intake by eating more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of purified water. Keep a log to track foods and beverages that worsen symptoms, and avoid alcohol and stimulants like caffeinated beverages and tobacco that irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

Weil also suggests ingesting a slippery elm supplement according to label directions, which can help heal irritated digestive tract tissues, and chewing a tablet of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) or taking a half-teaspoon of a DGL supplement powder before meals and at bedtime. Reduce doses after symptoms are under control.

“For most people, there is probably a middle road—having an occasional glass of orange juice or soda doesn’t cause reflux disease—but if that’s all you drink day in and day out, it’s likely to create a problem.

For people with known reflux disease, a period of ‘acid/pepsin detox’ makes good sense,” concludes Koufman.

Letting Kids Just Be Kids

When being instructed, the child pricey summer camps or other highly structured activities.

Every child is different. But as Dr. Kenneth R. Ginsburg, a professor of pediatrics at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania and a leading expert on resilience, remarks, “Every child needs free, unscheduled time to master his or her environment.” Play is valuable because it miniaturizes the world to a manageable size and primes kids for learning.

Consider the complexities involved in a game of chase. Kids develop social skills in organizing and agreeing on rules, and then participate in the physical and creative actions of the actual activity while resolving conflicts or disagreements during its course—providing a foundation for excelling in school and even the business world.

Solitary play also provides problemsolving practice. A young girl playing with her dolls may try out different ways of handling the situation if one of them “steals” a treat from the dollhouse cookie jar before tea is served.

Because youth haven’t yet developed a capacity for abstract thinking, they learn and discover more about themselves mainly by doing. Developing small selfsufficiencies gives kids a sense of power in a world in which they are, in fact, small and powerless. This is why kids love to imagine dragon-slaying scenarios. Taking risks and being successful in independent play can increase confidence and prepare them to resist peer pressures and stand up to bullying.

Given our global challenges, tomorrow’s adults will need the skills developed by such play—innovation, creativity, collaboration and ethical problem solving—more than any preceding generation. A major IBM study of more than 1,500 CEOs from 60 countries and 33 industries in 2010 found that the single most sought-after trait in a CEO is creativity.

To survive and thrive, our sense of self must be shaped internally, not externally. We need to learn and focus on what we’re good at and like to do; that’s why it’s vital to have kids try lots of different activities, rather than immersing them full-time in parental preferences and dictated experiences.

Seven Ways to Let a Kid be a Kid

Call 561.866.0852 Now S. Palm Beach & N. Broward

by Madeline Levine Why not make summer fun again? Here’s how.

4 Follow the principle that regular playtime is vital for everyone.

4 Get in touch with our own playfulness.

Kids really do model what they see. Present a picture of adulthood that children will want to grow up to emulate.

4 Tell the kids it’ll be a laid-back summer. Ask them to create a fun bucket list of which activities they want to keep... and which they want to toss.

Parents may be shocked by what they say they want to quit doing. Sometimes kids do things because we want them to, and somehow we fail to notice their heart hasn’t been in it.

4 Arrange low-key times with friends and family. This may mean turning down some invitations and setting aside an evening as family night. Make sure kids have

regular opportunities to just hang out with family and friends.

4 Encourage free-range (not pre-packaged), natural and spontaneous play—like a sandbox in the backyard, blocks and impromptu neighborhood soccer games, instead of an amusement park, elaborate toys and soccer camp.

4 Make sure children also have total down time for lying in the grass looking at the sky, or sitting on the sidewalk sharing a stick of all-natural gum with a friend.

4 Show trust in giving youngsters some freedom. Choice is the hallmark of true play. Have confidence that when a child is off on his own and enjoying and directing himself in activities he chooses, that is his “job”. The chances are that whatever innocent activities he’s doing of his own free will are better than any “enriching” activity we might impose on him.

A Green Night’s Sleep for Travelers Pioneers Show the Way to Eco-Friendly Stays

“

hen your company motto is ‘true to nature’, you have to follow through,” says Tom Tabler, director of sales and marketing for the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. “We look at everything, from the biodegradable ink pens in the guest rooms to the staff’s summer uniform.” Managers’ sport coats consist of lightweight plastic fibers and rubber from recycled materials. “They breathe fine, are comfortable and look great,” Tabler remarks.

Hotel construction adhered to eco-friendly practices. A 100-acre bird sanctuary followed the onsite discovery of endangered golden-cheeked warblers.

The 36-hole golf course is certified by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program and deemed the most eco-friendly in the United States by the PGA Tour. The hotel’s four pools and a lazy river for tubing honor the region’s dry climate; water

reclamation via closed loop natural catchments and rain retention ponds keep guests afloat and the golf course green.

Also in Texas, the Four Seasons Hotel Austin has a “zero waste” goal, requiring the recycling of 90 percent of all onsite waste. Shadowboxes above trash cans show guests examples of what is and isn’t recyclable, while unused soap

and other toiletries are donated to local women’s shelters.

“We have placed sufficient containers, so there’s no excuse not to recycle,” says Kerri Holden, senior director of public relations. “In April, we were at the 70 percent compliance mark. We hope to reach our 90 percent goal by year’s end.”

She notes that after management cancelled weekly dumpster service, only one six-by-six-foot trash container remains.

Even worn linens become cleaning rags.

The saltwater swimming pool uses soda ash, rather than harsher chlorine chemical treatments.

Kitchen scraps are composted and become fertilizer for the hotel’s herb and vegetable garden and flowerbeds. Natural compost bags in guest rooms collect banana peels, apple cores and other organic food waste. At the end of the year, guests that composted during their visit receive a thank-you letter and The Nature Conservancy plants a tree in their name in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, one of the world’s most endangered tropical forests (PlantABillion.org).

Boston’s Colonnade Hotel, built in the 1970s, grows greener with each upgrade. “We replace systems with the greenest possible solutions,” explains Keith Alexander, director of property operations. Guest room windows have been replaced with filmed and insulating twinned panes to save power year-round.

Electrolyzed water is now used for cleaning; a higher pH works as a nontoxic degreaser, while a lower pH turns water into a sanitizer, eliminating the need for chemical cleansers and gloves. Next, the hotel plans to install a large commercial dishwasher that will use electrolyzed water instead of chlorine-based cleaners.

California’s Cavallo Point Lodge, near San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, opened in Sausalito in 2008 as the newest national park lodge and the only one with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. It was built in the early 1900s to house Fort Baker’s military families.

While renovations have enlarged the rooms, wood door framing maintains the rustic appearance and the wood floors are either original or made from repurposed wood. “We learned a lot while updating the lodge,” says General Manager Euan

Taylor. “We discovered that the tin ceiling tiles were painted with lead-based paint.

Instead of using harsh chemicals, we froze each tile, gave it a slight twist and the paint fell off.”

Unsurprisingly, food for the lodge restaurant and onsite cooking school is purchased from local farmers.

In Big Sur, California, the award-winning Post Ranch Inn specializes in repurposing materials. Wood from old growth redwood wine casks accent walls in guest rooms. Fallen trees become benches dotting walkways. Dinnerware is made from recycled glass and any broken plates are recycled again. The honey used for a special spa facial treatment comes from 18 onsite beehives.

Oregon’s The Resort at the Mountain, in Welches, installed an additional 11,000 indigenous plants throughout its 300-acre property in 2009, in the spirit of the nearby Mount Hood National Forest. The mountain is home to the only ski lodge certified by the Sustainable Travel Institute, using United Nations criteria.

“We are a base camp for skiers,

hikers, off-road bikers and fly fishermen,” says General Manager John Erickson.

“Our ‘field to stream’ menu features northwest products and of course, fish.”

The resort’s golf course, following the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, uses natural methods for weed control.

“We pull them up,” says Erickson. “Wildflowers get to stay where they are.” Golfers and fishermen volunteer to help keep the course in good shape and the water channels clear for salmon and steelhead.

From the golf course, visitors can see the salmon swimming upstream. “Most of the fishermen catch and release,” says Erickson. “We want to be good stewards of the land.”

n summer, when many fruits, herbs and vegetables are at their peak, it makes sense to harness their power for the family’s benefit. “Some people flock to plant-empowered living for better health, others because of their spiritual beliefs, to support animal welfare, respect the environment or best of all, because it tastes great,” says wellness activist Kris Carr, a documentary filmmaker, New York Times bestselling author and the educational force behind KrisCarr.com.

Carr joined the wellness revolution after being diagnosed with a rare disease. It proved to be the incentive she needed to change her eating habits and find renewed power and energy.

Her new book, Crazy Sexy Kitchen, with recipes by Chef Chad Sarno, celebrates the colors, flavors and powers of plants that nourish us at the cellular level.

Her main tenets include a focus on:

Reducing inflammation. Inflammation is caused by what we eat, drink, smoke, think (stress), live in (environment), or don’t do well (lack of exercise). At the cellular level, it can lead to allergies, arthritis, asthma, heart disease, diabetes, digestive dis-

orders and cancer, according to Victoria Drake, Ph.D., of the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, who culled the latest research (LPI.OregonState.edu/infocenter/inflammation.html).

Creating an acid/alkaline balance. “Tilting the pH scale in the alkaline direction is easy with a diet filled with mineralrich plant foods,” says Carr. It also means minimizing meat, dairy, sugar, eggs, commercially processed foods, coffee and alcohol.

Drinking produce. Green juices and green smoothies are ideal. “They are the most important part of my personal daily practice, one that I will never abandon,” Carr notes.

Carr and her husband, Brian Fassett, whom she met when he edited her documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer, share the juice and smoothie making responsibilities. “We make enough to have two 12-ounce servings of green drinks a day. Our recipes are often guided by what’s available in the fridge,” she advises. The secret is a three-to-one ratio of three veggies for every piece of fruit.

Kale reigns in their home. The dark leafy superfood is especially suited for smoothies, salads and sautés. They like kale’s generous helping of vitamin K for maintaining strong bones.

Carr’s Crazy Sexy Kale Salad is dressed with vinaigrette that includes flax oil, which she notes is high in omega-3s to promote healthy brain function. It’s also a well-known anti-inflammatory food. “Make sure to buy cold-pressed, organic flax oil in a dark bottle and store it in the fridge,” she advises, “because light and heat may turn the oil rancid. I like Barlean’s brand, but there are many other quality flax oils available. Since it is sensitive to heat, I use it mostly in salad dressings and smoothies.”

Carr maintains that, “By decreasing the amount of acidic inflammatory foods while increasing the amount of healthy and alkaline plant foods, you flood your body with vitamins, minerals, cancer-fighting phytochemicals, antioxidants and fiber.”

This supports the body in maintaining and repairing itself. She further points out, “Once your body repairs, it can renew.

That’s big-healer medicine. You might as well get a business card that reads: self-care shaman.”

Easy Summer Recipes “Many of my recipes have been influenced by cultural experiences, twists on favorite childhood meals or newly discovered ingredients,” says Chef Chad Sarno. “The strawberry smoothie is among Kris Carr’s favorites. Few dishes have proved to be as timeless and widely beloved as the kale salad.”

Strawberry Fields Smoothie

Enjoy the nostalgic tastiness of strawberry milk sans moo juice or powdered junk. Strawberries are phytonutrient factories, supplying the body with a bounty of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients.

Yields 2 servings 3 cups cashew or nondairy milk of choice 2 cups fresh strawberries 1 Tbsp lemon zest 1 small orange, peeled 1 banana 1½ cups loosely packed spinach Blend all ingredients until smooth in a high-speed blender.

Crazy Sexy Kale Salad

Kale is the king of leafy veggies and rules this prevention-rocks salad.

Serve it solo with a favorite cooked grain, or wrapped in nori or a gluten-free tortilla. Crown this kale creation by adding chopped fresh herbs or favorite diced vegetables. To be fancy, serve the salad wrapped in a cucumber slice.

Yields 2 to 3 servings 1 bunch kale, any variety, shredded by hand 1 cup diced bell peppers, red, yellow or orange ¼ cup chopped parsley 1½ avocados with pit removed, chopped 2 Tbsp flax oil 1½ tsp lemon juice Sea salt, to taste Pinch of cayenne, to taste 1 cucumber Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Massage and mix using both hands to “wilt” the kale and cream the avocado (takes just a minute or two). Then serve.

For a fun touch, cut a thin lengthwise slice of cucumber and create a circle to outline each serving of salad, stitching the ends of the cucumber slice together with a toothpick. Place the salad in the cucumber ring and then serve.

Relishing Raw Food Supermodel Carol Alt on How Eating Raw Keeps Her Vibrant

by Beth Bader

C

past year, she’s been overseeing the U.S. launch of her skin care line, Raw Essentials.

How has your relationship with food changed over the years, and what role has raw food played?

I grew up like other kids on Long Island.

Mom cooked spaghetti and macaroni and cheese. Dad would sometimes grill a piece of meat until it was dead a second time. On weekends, we ate pizza or Chinese takeout. I never realized broccoli was green, because overcooking turned it gray.

One day, I got sent home from a job because they said I was not in “swimsuit condition.” A friend recommended a physician that specialized in raw food diets, which was the first I’d heard of it.

So I tried a raw diet, cold turkey, and felt better immediately. Today I eat raw food as an anti-aging agent and natural medicine that makes me healthier; it’s also a filler that makes me less hungry. My holistic lifestyle no longer includes any over-the-counter drugs.

These days, my system runs efficiently, like an electric golf cart.

When I need to go, I go. When I need to stop and sleep, I sleep. The body can work phenomenally well if we just let it. photo by Jimmy Bruch

arol Alt characterizes the latest stage of her 30-plus-year career as a “perfect storm of busy,” including the launch of her latest book, Easy Sexy Raw, and her roles in Woody Allen’s film, To Rome with Love, and the HBO documentary, About Face, exploring the relationship between physical appearance and the business of beauty. For the

“Raw” seems like an easy diet to prepare, but some of the methods can take time and special equipment. What’s a simple starting point?

Using a blender, you can make everything from soup to dessert. Start with things like guacamole, salsa and soups.

You can also use a pot and hot water (up to 115 degrees) to warm kelp noodles to add to a blended soup. You can make a mousse from raw chocolate and avocado.

Also begin to think of a dehydrator as a crock-pot that works while you’re away. It’s a simple option once you are in the habit of using it.

Of course, you’ll want to make all kinds of fresh salads.

How do you maintain your raw food plan when you are eating out or in social settings?

I look for foods that I know will be raw.

If I have any doubts, I ask the chef. If there’s any question, I just don’t eat it.

There’s a bit of discipline in this.

You have to eat on a schedule and make sure you are getting the food you need.

I may lunch even if I am not hungry, especially when I know I’ll be dining out later. It’s important to make sure you are not feeling deprived and hungry; otherwise you may find yourself craving things like the bread on the table.

Do you ever miss cooked foods and sometimes indulge?

My diet is 75 to 95 percent raw. When you eat raw foods, you feel so much better that you don’t want to eat anything else. My one indulgence is munching on popcorn when my favorite sports team plays.

Do you have any final advice on exploring a raw diet?

Relax and have fun trying different things. If you cheat, it’s okay. If you feel deprived in any way, go eat. Above all, enjoy the adventure.

Savor Summer Revel in Blissful Indulgences

by April Thompson

F

rom freshly picked cherries to moonlit hikes, summer offers endless free gifts. Its lingering daylight reminds us to step outside, take a deep breath and savor life’s simple joys.

“Summer is a time to enjoy the small things in life, which are often the sweetest,” counsels Janet Luhrs, author of The Simple Living Guide and founder of the online Simplicity School (Simplicity Journey.com). “Kids do this instinctively, like seeing who can throw a rock furtherest into the water. I’m happy just having a simple backyard dinner with friends, reading a book in a city park or paddling a canoe.”

Here are some summer classics to expand our own “to savor” list.

Feast on Earth’s bounty. Make the most of summer’s cornucopia of candysweet berries, rainbow-colored heirloom tomatoes and other natural treats abounding at local farmers’ markets.

Get wet. Go skinny-dipping in a hidden creek, run through sprinklers in shorts or swimsuit or round up the neighborhood kids for a trip to a local water park, lake or public pool. Water games like Marco Polo and underwater tea parties never grow old, even for grown-ups.

Commune with creatures. Who can resist the winking lightning bugs, flickering dragonflies and songs of an evening insect chorus? Summer immerses us in nature.

See how many animals that eagle-eyed friends and family members can spot during visits to area parks and preserves.

Read by sunlight. The pleasure of reading heightens with natural light and fresh air. Pick an easy read to take to the beach or a hammock with sunglasses and a glass of herbal sun tea.

Celebrate community. ‘Tis the season for free local festivals, picnic concerts, open-air movies and state fairs.

Invite a friend or make a Dutch treat of it, even organize an informal potlatch block party.

Take a day trip. Consider the healthy dose of activities that exist close to home.

Delightful discoveries await the curious when traveling by local waterway, walking trail or bicycle path. Map a flexible route, allowing ample time for unexpected stops.

Try something new. Summer is a chance to be adventurous. Step into a bright, pastel shirt or tropical sundress, and then revel in the compliments. Move from an indoor exercise routine to a free yoga class in a shady park and test ride a standup paddleboard.

Look up. Summer skies offer more drama than daytime TV. Perch on the porch at sunrise, sunset or before a thunderstorm rolls in. On a clear calm night, lie back on a blanket and trace constellations while watching for shooting stars and meteor showers.

Capture memories. Gather a pocketful of seashells, press wildflowers from special spots, make bread-and-butter pickles from the garden and print favorite snapshots to spark happy summer memories any time of the year.

Do nothing. In the midst of so many marvelous options, we can also give ourselves permission to cancel our own plans on a whim and just do nothing. Simple daydreaming can lead to good ideas and inner rhapsodies. Summer is the best time to just be.

“Try to not to plan more than one thing in a day this summer,” advises Luhrs. “Otherwise, you’ll end up cutting short activities to rush off to the next thing instead of enjoying what’s already in front of you.”

WACKY W ORKOUTS More Giggles than Groans

What do bikini-clad gorillas, hoop dancing, aerial silk acrobatics, antigravity yoga and Pilates on the water have in common? They are among the most enjoyable ways to burn calories and increase strength.

In Mankato, Minnesota, runners and walkers dressed like gorillas, many embellished with bikinis, tutus and football jerseys, take part in the annual Gorilla Run to benefit the nonprofit North Mankato Miracle League and Fallenstein Field, a fully accessible softball field for children with mental or physical challenges. This year, a local DJ dressed as a banana led the pack of 600 gorillas through the 2.4-mile course, raising $30,000. Next April, pro athletes and other volunteers will again pitch in to set the pace for other cities that want to ape their act.

Travis Snyder’s family-friendly Color Run, founded in Draper, Utah, and launched in Tempe, Arizona, in early 2012, has caught on in more than 100 U.S. cities as a way for novice runners to have a stress-free, untimed, fun day. Sixty

percent of the participants have never run a 5K (three-plus miles) race before.

Staff and volunteers throw brightly colored cornstarch on the runners at regular intervals, making the finish line a virtual rainbow. The larger runs boast thousands of participants. There are only two rules: wear a white shirt at the starting line and finish plastered in color.

On the Water

For anyone looking for a unique water workout, Tatiana Lovechenko, founder of Fort Lauderdale Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), has an answer. “We have paddleboard boot camps and sunrise and sunset tours, on the ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway, based on conditions. Safe and ecofriendly LED lights, our latest innovation, let us see the fish below and make sure boats see us at night.”

Their SUP manatee tour is particularly popular. “This endangered species con-

gregates in less-traveled waterways. They often come up out of the water to look at us,” says Lovechenko. “We’re not allowed to touch them and must stay alert in case they bump the boards and dump us into the water. They’re gentle, but immense.”

If basic SUP isn’t enough, onboard yoga or Pilates can be added. “It’s easy on the joints for those with knee or ankle problems,” Lovechenko advises. Regardless of the level of experience, “Yoga paddleboarding naturally calls for a calm mind, steady breathing and attention to balance. With Pilates, working out on a board in water that’s 10 to 20 feet deep activates a different set of muscles.”

Dancing on Land

Hoopnotica, on a roll here and in Europe, reintroduces play into physical fitness with fresh, fun, expressive movements (Tinyurl.com/Hoopnotica Lessons). Instructional DVDs and classes are available to revive and enhance childhood hooping abilities.

“Hooping spans genres from classical to hip-hop, tribal to lyrical, depend-

ing on who’s spinning the hoop and what’s spinning on the turntable,” says Jacqui Becker, Hoopnotica’s director of content development and lead master trainer, in Brooklyn, New York. “When I carry a hoop around town, people light up. It’s like walking a puppy, but an even better workout, with no cleanup.”

Dancing in Air

Aerial silk classes take exercising to new heights. Cirque du Soleil-style and more elegant than rope climbing, students don’t have to be in peak shape to start. “Just show up and want to learn,” says international performing aerialist Laura Witwer, who teaches how to climb fabric attached to steel rigging 16 to 25 feet high in New York City spaces. “We work close to the floor for beginners,” she explains. “They learn to climb, then to hang upside-down, and then tie knots. We’ve had all body sizes, shapes and ages in class; it’s a great way to stretch and add strength.”

Yoga can also take to the air with

anti-gravity classes that position participants in fabric slings or hammocks that relax joints and help the body realign itself. Christopher Harrison, founder and artistic director of AntiGravity Yoga, in New York City, is a former worldclass gymnast and professional dancer on Broadway, two professions that are tough on the body.

“As an aging athlete whose passion continued, but whose body had been ripped apart by numerous surgeries, yoga healed and rejuvenated my mind and body,” he remarks. “In order to take pressure off the joints, I took my performance company from tumbling off the ground to hanging up into the air by inventing apparatus that allowed us to fly.”

Whether by land, sea or air, adventurous souls are discovering new ways to recharge mind, spirit and body.

ike a canary in a coal mine, dogs serve as sentinels, drawing our attention to health hazards in our shared home environment and in the products and byproducts of the food industry.

In the mid-1990s, as genetically engineered or modified (GE, GM or GMO), corn and soy were becoming increasingly prominent ingredients in both pet food products and feed for farm animals, the number of dogs reported suffering from a specific cluster of health problems increased. It also became evident from discussion among veterinarians and dog owners that such health problems occurred more often among dogs eating pet food that included GM crops than those consuming food produced from conventional crops.

The conditions most cited included allergies, asthma, atopic (severe) dermatitis and other skin problems, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, recurrent diarrhea, vomiting and indigestion, plus abnormalities in liver, pancreas and immune system functions. People often reported failed treatments and harmful side effects to prescribed remedies (e.g.

Palm Beach Edition

steroids), as well as problems with various manufactured prescription diets after their attending veterinarians diagnosed their animals with these conditions.

According to a 2011 study in the journal Cell Research, in engineering crops like corn and soybean, novel proteins are created that can assault the immune system and cause allergies and illnesses, especially in the offspring of mothers fed GMO foods. Diminished nutrient content is a concurrent issue.

“The results of most of the few independent studies conducted with GM foods indicate that they may cause hepatic, pancreatic, renal and reproductive effects and may alter hematological, biochemical and immunologic parameters,”concluded Artemis Dona and Ioannis S. Arvanitoyannis, of the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology at the

“Look first for the USDA Certified Organic label.

Next, look for other words and terms on the package indicating it comprises natural, humane, free-range, grass-fed and GM- or GE-free ingredients. Watch out for chemical preservatives, artificial coloring, byproducts, GMOs, irradiation/radioisotope treatment, hormones and antibiotics. In short, seek out whole organic foods appropriate to the species.” ~ Dr. Michael Fox University of Athens Medical School, in their 2009 study on the effect of GM foods on animals.

Such problems are caused partly by the inherent genetic instability of GM plants, which can result in spontaneous and unpredictable mutations (Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Reviews). DNA in GM foods is altered by the genetic engineering process; it can be incorporated by gut bacteria and may alter their behavior and ecology in the digestive tract. Likewise, when digestive bacteria incorporate material from antibiotic-resistant genes, engineered into patented GM foods crops to identify them, it could have serious health implications, according to Jeffrey M. Smith in his book, Genetic Roulette, and Terje Traavik and Jack Heinemann, co-authors of Genetic Engineering and Omitted Health Research.

What Pet Owners Can Do Look for pet foods that are free of GM corn and soy, and/or organically certified. Pet food manufacturers that use U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic ingredients—and especially those that don’t use corn, soy, canola, cotton byproducts (oil and cake) or sugar beet, which are more commonly genetically engineered, or imported rice, which can have GM strains—can legitimately claim “No GMO Ingredients” on their packaging.

Information, plus tips on avoiding hidden GMO ingredients are available at NonGMOShoppingGuide.com. Many websites also provide recipes for home-prepared diets for companion animals, including DogCatHome PreparedDiet.com.

Let responsible pet food manufacturers know of consumers’ concerns and heed Hippocrates’ advice to let our food be our medicine and our medicine be our food. Enlightened citizen action is an integral part of the necessary revolution in natural agriculture aimed at promoting more ecologically sound, sustainable and humane farming practices, a healthier environment and more healthful, wholesome and affordable food for us and our canine companions.

LAVENDER

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

L

avender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a lovely aromatic shrub indigenous to the Mediterranean region, but cultivated in many areas now, even in Florida. I enjoy and use lavender at home and in my office. The medicinal parts are the fresh flowers from which its essential oil is extracted. The primary active constituents of lavender oil are linalool and linalyl acetate, plus some other lesser compounds.

The active ingredients of lavender oil have many scientifically proven biochemical properties, including:

• antimicrobial (kills bacteria) • neurodepressive (causes one to fall asleep quicker), sedative • inhibits immediate-type allergic reactions by inhibiting mast cell degranulation • antineoplastic (inhibit cancer growth) • carminative (reduces colic and stomach distress) • anti-inflammatory • ant-lipidemic (reduces cholesterol) Lavender oil has been used for centuries for a myriad of reasons, and is one of the most widely used essential oils used in aromatherapy. It is used both internally and externally.

It is approved for usage by Commission E, the German equivalent (sort of) of our FDA for: • • • •

Loss of appetite Nervousness and insomnia Circulatory disorders Dyspeptic complaints.

Lavender oil has a long list of “home remedy” uses: • • • • • •

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Antibacterial Antifungal Antineoplastic (cancer) Sedative and hypnotic (puts you to sleep) Digestive problems: colic, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea Migraine headaches Asthma Influenza Nervous tension Acne Wound healing Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis Bruises

Cautions: Lavender is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation (internal use). Adverse effects of lavender include: drowsiness, gastrointestinal disturbance, and skin irritation (i.e., just like many medicines, it can cause the very symptoms it’s trying to treat). Drug interactions: there are no human data available. Overdosage can cause: central nervous system depression, constipation, respiratory depression, headache, widening of the pupils, vomiting, and convulsions.

Dosage: for external use, lavender oil can be diluted and added to other oils, baths, or applied to the skin. It can be inhaled from diffuser or simply having the fresh or dried flowers in the home. For internal use: teas are made which may be drunk.

THE PRAYER OF

ST. FRANCIS

By James F. Twyman

J

ames F. Twyman is a wonderful bestselling author of such books as The Moses Code and The Kabbalah Code and is known as the Peace Troubadour, focusing on bring peace to as many people as possible in his lifetime.

In his book, The Prayer of S. Francis, James offers a fictional account of a part of the life of the beloved saint. I happen to enjoy this particular genre of writing, historical fiction.

Here an author, Deepak Chopra is another wonderful example, takes historical events and weaves a day-to-day story around them to put them into a relatable context.

Here James offers the possible dialog and experiences that Francis and Brother Leo might have as they journeyed to find the Sultan, the ruler of the Islamic forces, hoping to bring peace between the Muslims and the Christian crusaders. As they are making their way together Francis teaches Leo the deeper meaning behind each line of the famous Prayer of St. Francis.

I have found James rendition very refreshing. One will recognized many ‘A Course In Miracles’ principles integrated in the presentation. Most notably is the principle of teach only love for that is what you are.

One does not conquer fear and hate with more fear and hate but by converting it into love through being love and only seeing that in another.

Another delightful treat found within this book is the chance encounter and conversation between the mystic poet Rumi and Francis. They, as you can imagine, instantly recognized each other as spiritual brothers.

forward so that he was no more than a foot away from the saint, and the two men stared at each other for a long time.

It was clear to Leo that the soldier meant to do Francis harm. But Francis’s eyes were so filled with Light that the soldier could not remember what he meant to say, and his clenched fists relaxed and fell to his side.

The soldier walked away and closed the heavy door. Leo stood up and walked over to Francis.

“What did you do to him?” Leo asked. “I was sure he was ready to open the door and beat us both. But there was something about the way you looked at him, some magical spell you cast that disarmed him completely. Please tell me what you did so that I may learn how to use this secret force myself.”

Francis looked deep into Leo’s eyes and said: “Here is the lesson that gives meaning to the rest: ‘It is in giving that we receive.’ Are you beginning to see how simple the truth is Leo? If I

confronted that man with anger then he would have met me with greater strength, and I hate to think how our fate would have turned. I remember my true desire, for love is my only true quest, and healing is the means to achieve that goal. And so, desiring only love, I gave only love, and you witnessed the result for yourself. How could the soldier hold onto such shadows when Light had so suddenly burst in all around him?”

For the month of July 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.
