shley Ageloff, CTT and Shanna Schulze, CTT, Breast Thermography International (BTI), announce a new location in the Palm Beach area. In addition to the Regus office in Palm Beach Gardens, BTI is now operating at the Rapha Center in West Palm Beach. Ageloff and Schulze are thrilled to team up with Linda Cloward, aka “Lymph Linda”. With Medical Thermography, they can determine what areas you need to improve on now to avoid (in some cases) cancer and other diseases. Monitoring with Medical Thermography is a safe, accurate and essential way to screen your entire body. Due to the number of thermographic findings that you can’t see with the naked eye, it’s ideal to have a full body scan as your baseline screening. Find out what areas you can improve on now for optimal health. Medical Thermography cancer detection: no contact, no compression, and it’s radiation-free. An infrared camera takes images of your body checking for heat discrepancies. Early detection is your best defense and may save your life! Medical Thermography is safe at any age and ideal for prevention. It is 97 percent sensitive for Breast Cancer Screenings; mammography is 83.3 percent sensitive. Full body thermography screenings are available for men, women and children. Heat abnormalities can be found 8 to 10 years before they would show up on anatomical testing as a malignant tumor, in some cases. Call today 877-315-7226, Extension 447 or e-mailEarlyDetectionisKey@gmail.com.

Intimacy Retreat for Couples in Palm Beach Gardens

ichard & Diana Daffner, authors of Tantric Sex for Busy Couples, are offering a weekend workshop for couples, in PBG this fall. Their schedule also includes Siesta Key (Sarasota), where workshop dates are July 18-20, August 8-10 and August 29-September 1.and September 19-21. The Intimacy Retreat in Palm Beach Gardens will be October 31-November 2. Registration is also open for a week long Intimacy Retreat to be held in Yelapa, Mexico, January 24-31, 2015. A “Level 2” week, for prior participants, will follow. “You can’t take a pill to make a relationship better,” says Diana Daffner. “The ancient teachings of Tantra provide a whole new paradigm of how to be intimately connected with our partner, both in and out of the bedroom. A healthy relationship is the best and most natural medicine for a happy and fulfilling life.” Couples attend an Intimacy Retreat to deepen their romantic and spiritual connection, and to refine or rediscover their erotic sense of togetherness. The structure of these workshops includes group sessions where couples learn and experience various ways of intimate relating, through touch, communication and the movements of Tantra Tai Chi, developed by the Daffners. Between sessions, couples return to their hotel rooms for private practices that help them personalize and physically absorb the teachings. (There is no nudity or sexual activity in group sessions.) Focus throughout is on the sacred energy that intimate relationships can generate, creating a renewed sense of wholeness and joyful oneness. The weekend workshop fee is $695/couple and the week in Mexico is $1345/couple. For couples whose relationships are seriously troubled, Therapeutic Relationship Coaching is offered by Diana Daffner together with Cia Ricco, author of Living As If Your Life Depended On It. The Intimacy Retreat is a transformational experience. As one couple recently wrote, “To say that we arrived in one frame of mind and left in another is an understatement.” A free brochure is available by visiting www.IntimacyRetreats.com or calling 941 349-6804.

newsbriefs HEALING DELIGHTS What Does “Healing” Truly Mean?

hen I speak about my work, I often use the word “healing.” Sometimes I use it to describe the journey of your life and mine. I want to take a little time here to consider this question. Recently while in meditation, I sounded the word “healing” to myself and waited. Almost immediately, I felt a presence in my heart. It had a warm, familiar, and uplifting sense to it, like a close friend. I spent a few moments appreciating and taking in this unexpected discovery. A short while after, I reached for the dictionary on the shelf to see if it might offer some insight. It did, with flying colors. Not all words have such a clear trail of origins and meaning. The first definition to appear for “heal” was “to make sound, well, restore to health.” As someone into sound healing, I have to say I was happy to see the word “sound” in such a prominent position. I remembered the words “sound mind” and “sound body” which often have been used to describe good health. I believe there is an underlying connection of sound with health. Science tells us that everything in the universe vibrates and, thus, has a frequency or sound. And some sound healers say we are “made of music.” A second discovery followed. The word “heal” comes from an Old English root word “hal.” Interestingly,“hal” is also the origin of the words “whole” and “holy” – and of course, “health.” Putting this together, it’s not too much of a stretch to say that “healing” could be described as “becoming whole” or “moving… to wholeness,” and even…“to holiness.” I believe that you and I are on a journey of healing, a journey to wholeness and to the greater fullness and magnificence of who we truly are. In the early stages of this journey, we may only catch glimpses of this. Later, with intention and effort, it grows, as we grow. What does healing mean to you? Are you on a healing journey? Have you had an experience you would describe as healing recently? Or was it, sadly, too long ago? Where were you? Wasn’t it delightful? What created space for that to happen? Would you like to bring more healing energy into your life? Into the lives of those you care about? Into your world? Actually, there are many places, spaces and activities that, when you think about it, could be described as healing. Some examples are playing sports and other forms of recreation or “re-creation”, spending time with a friend, being out in nature, taking a hot bath, eating a nourishing meal prepared with love, dancing, expressing gratitude, attending a special event, doing yoga or qigong, attending a religious or spiritual gathering. The list could go on and on. How would you like your life to be filled abundantly with such healing delights? Henry Lepler is a Healing Sound Guide in Boca Raton, FL. Visit HenryLepler.com

Says Dennis Merritt Jones, D.D., “…he is a guide we can trust because he has already been where he wants to lead us... he has already created a life full of prosperity, purpose and meaning. He has scouted the terrain and makes the journey to a life truly worth living not only enjoyable, but obtainable. That's my kind of teacher." If you’re like two thirds of Americans, you’d like more fulfilling work. And, chances are, you’re part of the 80% who would do what they love in a second, if they could just make a living at it. Last month, for that very reason, many of us kicked off our summer “growing” season with the Vision-to-Business seminar. Some of the area’s most successful entrepreneurs volunteered to teach their secrets of success to first-time business owners. It was inspiring and fun. If we stay with our gardening metaphor, we could say that what’s next is a careful tending of the “seeds” of abundance and fulfillment we’ve recently “planted”. Whether you attended a seminar, read a book or are just making a fresh start, now is a great time for new beginnings. Likely you’re reading this, too, as a year-round resident of Palm Beach County. Many refer to this as the “off-season” or “slow season”. While that may be true of some aspects of life here in south Florida, there’s actually plenty that’s booming. Soul Currency author, Ernest Chu, tells us that “In tough times, we look outside ourselves for things to change instead of looking inward, where true abundance resides.” He says that it’s actually possible “…to prosper in even the most challenging economic climate.” What better time could there be to practice inner principles of fulfillment and abundance than right now? As the familiar adage says, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” And so it seems that our collective readiness to take another step in the direction of rewarding and purposeful lives has brought the perfect teacher our way. Sunday, July 6th, “Soul Currency: The 5 Secrets for Lasting Abundance and Fulfillment” comes to town. Bringing together all of us who are ready to do what we love and prosper, too, with someone who made that same decision and has never looked back, this promises to be an inspiring and life-changing program.

newsbriefs PSYCH-K® WORKSHOP COMES TO PALM BEACH GARDENS IN AUGUST Free Yourself From Limiting Beliefs

ubconscious beliefs affect every aspect of life - moods, relationships, job performance, self-esteem, and even physical health. Past negative programming, makes people think and behave in self-defeating ways. The Gap between Awareness and Action involves transferring the conscious awareness of trying to do something to the automatic response of the subconscious programs, the source of habits. To bring the sustainable results, just like a computer hard drive, subconscious programs needs to be upgraded. Most neuroscientists agree that at least 95% of thinking processes occur at what is called the subconscious mind - which is below conscious awareness. That means that at least 95% of “choices" and the resulting behaviors are not even conscious! They are old scripts that keep repeating over and over - blocking access to any new information. The processing capacity of the conscious mind is about 40 bits of information per second, compared to the 40 million bits per second of the subconscious mind. If the conscious mind desires a goal the subconscious mind disagrees with, guess which mind wins? “The missing link between good intentions and effective actions is the ability to align subconscious beliefs with conscious goals” adds PSYCH-K® originator Robert M. Williams, M.A. Originated in 1988, PSYCH-K® facilitates direct communication between the conscious and subconscious minds. It also includes processes to increase the “cross talk” between the two brain hemispheres, resulting in a “wholebrain state”, dramatically reducing the resistance to changing outdated subconscious programs. In his best-selling book, "The Biology of Belief", Cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, says " PSYCH-K® represents an important step towards the New Psychology for the 21st century, and beyond. These are

simple, empowering techniques for changing your beliefs and perceptions that impact at the cellular level". PSYCH-K® is a co-creative process between the facilitator and the person receiving the change. It honors that the wisdom for the change process resides with the person making the change. Through conscious intent, and subconscious and “super”-conscious permission protocols, change is made with full permission, which creates safety. PSYCHK® usually only takes a few minutes and the change is validated consciously at the end of the process. Finally, PSYCH-K® always comes from a positive perspective. Rather than getting rid of old programs, PSYCH-K® installs new empowering beliefs promoting cellular healing. People have achieved success with phobias, stress, anxiety, depression, procrastination, health problems, smoking, relationships, self-esteem, job performance, prosperity and much more using PSYCH-K®

The next east coast PSYCH-K® workshop will be on AUGUST 16/17, and hosted locally at The Jamar Enlightenment Center. It is a two-day experiential workshop, where one will learn the tools that one can use professionally and personally to bring incredible permanent change and freedom from limiting beliefs. The workshop Instructor, Saryu Dalal, is a Life Coach, Leadership Trainer and Energy Psychologist. She is one of 40 certified PSYCH-K® trainers in the world.

newsbriefs Does Reflexology Really Work?

ver the last five decades I have pursued my mission of making the science of Reflexol-ogy understood, appreciated and available around the world. I wrote what became a best-selling book on how to use Reflexology for a wide variety of people and conditions. I have worked with thousands of clients and have trained thousands of Reflexologists in my holistic method of Foot, Hand, Ear and Face Reflexology, which promotes profound relaxation to facilitate healing at many levels - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Why the focus on “profound relaxation”? Stress has been shown to be the major causal agent of illness, as summarized by the American Heart Association (from “How Does Stress Affect You”): • 43% of all adults suffer adverse health effects from stress. • 75% to 90% of all doctor's office visits are for stress-related ailments. • Stress can play a part in problems such as headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis, depression, and anxiety. • The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) declared stress a hazard of the workplace. Stress costs American industry more than $300 billion annually. By releasing stress, your body, and your mind, are able to begin the healing process. I have received hundreds of testimonials from clients and graduates serving witness to the power of Reflexology to promote better health and well-being, e.g.,

“My sister was in a near fatal accident and was placed in intensive care, in a coma and on a respirator. The doctors did not know if she would survive or come out of the coma. They told me that if she did, she would probably have to stay on the respirator. I hap-pened to have bought your book, and I worked faithfully on my sister’s feet every day, if only for a few minutes. My sister did come out of the coma – and I’m writing now be-cause they took her off the respirator today.” Yet, there are still times when I meet a new client, or someone interested in our Certification training, who asks, “Does Reflexology really work?” While I could quote many more testimonials, there is substantial scientific evidence supporting Reflexology’s effectiveness. Here are just some of the conditions where studies continue to demonstrate Reflexology’s effectiveness and therapeutic benefits: • Acid Reflux • Allergies • Asthma • Back Strain • Bell’s Palsy • Birth/Delivery • Constipation • Dementia • Diabetes • Digestive Disorders • Fatigue • Headaches • Hormonal Imbalances • Infertility • Insomnia • Irritable Bowel Syndrome • Kidney Stones • Menopause • Multiple Sclerosis • Pain Relief • Panic Attacks • PMS • Poor Circulation • Pregnancy • Prostate Conditions • Sciatica • Sexual Dysfunction • Stroke Recovery • Vertigo As the evidence continues to grow, Reflexology is gaining more and more recognition throughout the medical community. Well-respected medical doctors and surgeons, in-cluding Dr. Bernie Siegel, cancer surgeon at Yale-New Haven Hospital, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Cardiologist at Columbia-Presbyterian in New York City and Dr. Justin Wernick, former Chief of Orthopedics at the New York Podiatry College to name just a few, report how valuable Reflexology is for treating their patients in conjunction with traditional medi-cine. So, does Reflexology really work? Based on the hundreds of testimonials I have received, combined with the many studies demonstrating the effectiveness of Reflexology across a broad range of conditions, plus the growing support within the medical community, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private sessions in Holistic Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching and Reflexology Training and Continuing Education Programs in The Berkshires, New York City and Boynton Beach beginning July 19th.

newsbriefs The Palm Beach Pain Relief System Wins Two Prestigious Book Prizes: July Lectures Announced

he Palm Beach Pain Relief System: A Clinically-Proven, Natural and Integrative Approach to Healing Chronic Pain, Arthritis & Injuries, written by Jupiter, Florida Internist Dr. Daniel Nuchovich, is a 2014 Silver Prize Winner of the prestigious Nautilus Book Award and the Benjamin Franklin Book Award. Contributors to this year's Benjamin Franklin list of honorees include the 39th U.S. president Jimmy Carter, actor Jim Carrey, musician Art Garfunkel, and author Garrison Keillor. Former winners of the Nautilus Book Award include such distinguished authors and visionaries as Deepak Chopra, M.D., Frances Moore Lappe’, Jean Houston, Ph.D., Eckhart Tolle, Desmund Tutu, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Dr. Nuchovich’s book was chosen from a collective field of more than 2100 books. The Palm Beach Pain Relief System, which was published by fourtime award-winning North Palm Beach health book publisher, Essential Publishing, presents a revolutionary medical treatment program that combines the best of modern Western and natural medicine. Dr. Nuchovich, a conventionally-trained physician who did not subscribe to natural health therapies, suffered from chronic pain until receiving a single chiropractic treatment that left him virtually pain-free after months of suffering. His shock about the effectiveness of this “alternative” therapy in contrast to months of suffering with modern medical procedures, lead him to extensive research of alternative and complementary medical therapies and training from Harvard Medical School's Center for Integrative Medicine. The Palm Beach Pain Relief System, an integrated approach created by Dr. Nuchovich, has a 90% success rate in helping people overcome pain without reliance on medications, injections and surgeries. “When horrible arthritis pain took over my body, Dr. Nuchovich’s program gave me enormous relief. Thanks to his approach I am free from the constant nagging of arthritis pain,” said patient Catherine D. “I am so thankful!” Dr. Nuchovich will be presenting his program, answering questions and conducting book signings at his office, Jupiter Institute of Healing Arts, on Thursday, July 17th at 4:30 and Tuesday, July 22nd at 6:30.

newsbriefs Rediscovering The Magical Properties Of Matcha Green Tea

he value of Matcha Green Tea has been known since the 900’s when Zen Buddhist monks used it to clear their focus during meditation. Samurai warriors also used this same tea before battles for sustained energy and after battles for inflammation. Matcha comes from gyokuro, a green tea that lives under shade three weeks before harvest. The pure dried leaves of this tea are stone ground into a fine powder which is known as Matcha commonly served during the Japanese tea ceremony.

Many of us may dream about experiencing this calming ritual during our daily lives—but for the vast majority this simply is not a reality. How wonderful it would be to sit in a lovely room and have this powder whisked into steaming water, steeped perfectly and then presented to us in a beautiful porcelain tea cup. Instead we often gulp down our breakfast, head off to work and begin our hectic, normal lives. Matcha Green Tea Capsules takes the concept of Matcha tea into the modern age. Matcha Green Tea Capsules are a fast new method of ingesting antioxidants and replaces the need to drink more than 10+ cups of brewed green tea. Within the few moments it takes to swallow two capsules, the body receives a powerful arsenal of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—quickly increasing the ability to focus and raising the energy level. When it comes to achieving and maintaining optimum health, Matcha is without equal. One of the biggest buzz words in nutrition, antioxidants are naturally occurring chemical compounds that prevent aging and chronic diseases. Using the testing method known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), experts at Tufts University discovered that Matcha possesses twenty times the ORAC value of pomegranates or blueberries. With an ORAC rating of 1300 units per gram, Matcha blows away pomegranate’s 105 units per gram or blueberries 91 units per gram. Matcha Green Tea Capsules harness the value of tradition, the power of antioxidants with the convenience of lifestyle on the go. Studies have shown Matcha may • Burn Calories • Boost Metabolism • Detoxify Naturally • Calm and Relax • Generate Sustained Energy • Aid in Concentration • Elevate Mood • Fight Bacteria • Lower blood sugar and cholesterol Matcha delivers all of this and is represented in a convenient form only in Matcha Green Tea Capsules. Matcha Green Tea Capsules are available online at www.itsmatchatime.org and at local retailers Keola Health & Wellness and Mother’s Nature’s Pantry in Palm Beach, Florida itsmatchatime@yahoo.com *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Which is Healthier – Carpet or Hard Floors?

here is a lot of confusion about the best flooring to have in your home. While carpeting is easier on your feet and back, most people think that wood, tile, or other hard surfaces are better for your health. The truth, however, is that carpet is the healthier choice. Studies done in Germany demonstrated that homes with carpeting, are actually better for your health than hard floors. This is due to the fact that carpet acts as a giant air filter. It traps airborne dust mites, mold spores, bacteria and viruses, pet dander, and other allergens that would otherwise be circulating throughout the air. Carpet becomes unhealthy, however, when not regularly and properly vacuumed, or if toxic chemicals are used in the cleaning process. Standard carpet cleaning formulas contain a combination of harsh chemical solvents, artificial fragrances, and detergents. The two most common carpet cleaning additives, Perchloroethylene and Napthalene, are the worst offenders. These toxic chemicals remain in your carpet and can produce dizziness, fatigue and nausea; even kidney and liver damage over time. They could also trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals; causing behavioral and learning problems in children, skin rashes, asthmatic attacks, headaches and depression. Rather than throwing out your carpet, consider cleaning it with safe, non-toxic organic cleaners once or twice a year. To help your carpet “filter” the air more effectively, vacuum frequently (ideally, with a HEPA filter). This will prolong the life and beauty of your carpet and improve your health as well. Tim Bagby is the owner of Greenway Carpet Care, the green and dry organic carpet cleaning company located in Palm Beach County and serving all of South Florida. For more information, call 516.289.1589 or visit www.greenwaycarpetcare.com.

Ginger and Turmeric Protect Skin from Sun

Testing & Balancing Hormone Levels makes for a Healthier You:

cientists from Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University have found that extracts from ginger and turmeric may help prevent DNA damage caused by the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, a leading cause of melanoma and other skin cancers. Fifteen herbal extracts were created; each was applied to human keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the outer layer of skin that can be damaged by the sun’s rays. The researchers measured the ability of each herb extract to absorb ultraviolet radiation and act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals. Turmeric and ginger extracts absorbed a significant amount of UVB rays before they could damage the skin, according to the results, published in Photochemistry and Photobiology. Each was found to stimulate the synthesis of thioredoxin 1, an antioxidant protein that appears to protect keratinocytes from DNA damage and toxicity to living cells.

Romania’s Polytechnic University of Bucharest researchers found that topical application of the essential oils from Salvia officinalis (sage) and Anethum graveolens (dill) provided significant inhibition against the C. albicans fungi when compared with a standard antiseptic dressing. Scientists from England’s Manchester Metropolitan University compared the effects on three strains of MRSA in wound dressings containing the essential oils of patchouli, tea tree, geranium, lavender and grapefruit seed extract against a conventional antibacterial dressing of silver sulfadiazine cream. Each oil was applied independently and in combination with wound dressings. Grapefruit seed extract and geranium oil were found to most effectively inhibit the MRSA strains.

Preterm Babies Grow Better with Supplements

n a study published earlier this year in Pediatrics, researchers from Liverpool Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital gave either a standard diet or that plus multivitamin and mineral supplementation intravenously to 150 preterm infants for 28 days after their birth. Supplemented babies had higher rates of growth, measured in weight, plus head circumference sizes that were between five and eight millimeters greater. The differences in head circumference remained nine months after the supplementation period ended.

Fruits and Veggies Boost Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Learning and Social Skills

study published in the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association finds that increased fruit and vegetable consumption among school-age children may increase learning skills related to interacting with others, as identified in social cognitive theory. Researchers divided 138 students into two groups, with one group consuming more fruits and vegetables than the other. After three months, the group on the healthier diet tested higher in social cognitive learning skills. They also scored better in self-efficacy (belief they could succeed) in difficult situations, social support and observational learning.

Dried Plums Prevent Bone Loss

onsuming dried plums, Prunus domestica, appears to reduce bone loss and may increase bone mass. Studying 236 post-menopausal women for one year, Florida State University researchers gave half of the women 100 grams of dried plums per day, while the other group received 100 grams of dried apples. Bone scans done at three, six and 12 months found significantly greater bone mineral density among the group that ate dried plums. A study from Oklahoma State University showed similar results with post-menopausal mice put on a diet supplemented with dried plums or other dried fruits for two months. Only the diet with dried plums prevented bone loss among the mice. Another study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, found increased bone mass among both elderly and adult male mice that ate a diet comprising 25 percent dried plums, while those that did not eat dried plums lost bone mass.

Ashwagandha Herb Mutes Bipolar Disorder, Lowers Stress

he ancient ayurvedic herb ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) shows promise in reducing the symptoms of bipolar disorder, according to two recent studies. For eight weeks, scientists from the University of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Psychiatric Institute gave 500 milligrams per day of ashwagandha extract or a placebo to 53 patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The researchers used a series of bipolar tests to gauge cognition, response time, social cognition response and other processes. After the eight weeks, the group given ashwagandha showed significant improvements in auditory-verbal working memory, reaction time and social cognition. In a study published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatric Medicine, among a group of 64 men and women with chronic stress, after two months of ashwagandha treatment, standardized test scores revealed stress reduced by 44 percent, anxiety and insomnia by 68 percent and severe depression by 79 percent. Depression and anxiety are hallmarks of bipolar disorder.

Farm Building

Training Programs Attract Young Farmers There’s little doubt that the nation needs more young farmers, because statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show the average American farmer is 58 years old. Hope lies in farm incubators that equip young agrarians with the technical skills and the business savvy needed to compete in the fierce, burgeoning market for locally grown produce. At Kinsman Farm (KinsmanFarm.net), in Cleveland, the Ohio State University Extension gives would-be farmers quarter-acre starter plots and helps them develop business plans. Financial support is available, too. “The city of Cleveland recently received private funds to expand its Gardening for Greenbacks Program,” advises spokesperson Marie Barni. “Our urban farmers can now receive a $5,000 grant to help start their farming microenterprise.” Some city planners have voiced considerable skepticism about whether urban farms are an effective tool for creating jobs and rebuilding economies like Cleveland’s, but advocates point to other farm incubators in North Carolina, Oregon and Rhode Island, as well as in Kansas City, Kansas, Holyoke, Massachusetts, St. Louis, Missouri, and Seattle, Washington. In Chicago, students at the role model Windy City Harvest, coordinated by the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Richard J. Daley City College (ChicagoBotanic.org/ windycityharvest), engage in six months of hands-on horticulture training, and then a three-month paid internship with a farm or food justice organization.

Strength in Numbers

It Takes a Village to Feed the World Organizations worldwide are working to create a more sustainable and just food system. Food Tank lists 101 organizations to watch in 2014 (Tinyurl.com/FoodTank100). All are vital in creating a better food system. Here are a few examples. Food MythBusters is telling the real story of how food is produced through short films, showing that we can have a food system that is truly affordable, delicious, fair and good for the planet. Heifer International has been helping small farmers around the world practice better animal husbandry and develop more environmentally sustainable sources of food production for 70 years. Oxfam, a confederation of 17 organizations worldwide, helps find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. Oxfam America’s recent Behind the Brands campaign highlights how favorite consumer brands bring hidden costs to farmers, food security and the environment. Real Food Challenge, started in 2008 mainly among students, aims to shift $1 billion of existing university food budgets from industrial farms and junk foods to community-based, fair, ecologically sound and humane food sources by 2020. Seed Savers Exchange is dedicated to saving and sharing organic, heirloom and non-GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds. 24

Seabirds’ Significance

Complex Interactions Help Cool the Planet Top predator species of the Southern Ocean, far-ranging seabirds, are tied to the health of the ecosystem and to global climate regulation through a mutual relationship with phytoplankton, according to a study from the University of California-Davis, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. When phytoplankton are eaten by grazing crustaceans called krill, they release a chemical signal that attracts krill-eating birds. The chemical signal, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), forms sulfur compounds in the atmosphere that also promote cloud formation and help cool the planet. Seabirds consuming the krill then fertilize the phytoplankton with iron, which is scarce in oceans. “The data is really striking,” says Gabrielle Nevitt, Ph.D., a professor of neurobiology, physiology and behavior at the university, who co-authored the paper. “This suggests that top marine predators are important in climate regulation, although they are mostly left out of climate models. More attention should be focused on how ecological systems impact climate. Studying DMS as a signal molecule makes the connection.” Source: Environmental News Network (enn.com)

Vermont Demands GMO Labeling

Shame Game Corporations Bow to Public Pressure

Microbeads are tiny balls of hard plastic found in facial scrubs, shampoo and toothpaste that flow down drains and pass through wastewater treatment plants, ending up in waterways, where they enter the food chain. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has proposed the first U.S. legislation banning plastic microbeads in commonly used cosmetics (Tinyurl.com/BeadLegislation). Finding microbead-free products isn’t easy; we must read ingredient lists and steer clear of products that contain polyethylene or polypropylene. Natural alternatives include ground almonds, oatmeal and pumice. Palm oil is a natural ingredient used in thousands of everyday products from snack foods to shampoo. But as tropical forests are cleared and carbon-rich peat swamps are drained and burned to make way for palm oil plantations, carbon is released into the atmosphere, driving global warming and shrinking habitat for endangered species. Tropical deforestation currently accounts for about 10 percent of the world’s heat-trapping emissions. Last March, General Mills and Colgate-Palmolive announced new palm oil policies. Concerned citizens can tell other major corporations that for the sake of our atmosphere, tropical forests, peat lands and endangered species, the time to act is now, and to use only deforestation-free and peatlandsfree palm oil going forward.

Vermont Senator David Zuckerman and Representative Carolyn Partridge spearheaded efforts for Vermont to pass the nation’s first unrestricted mandatory labeling bill for genetically modified organisms (GMO). The state legislature’s collective efforts, lasting more than a decade, led to an unprecedented, game-changing new law signed by Governor Peter Shumlin on April 23. Anticipating the current lawsuit by Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Vermont has set aside $10 million for legal fees. The Organic Manufacturers Association is working to expand funding behind Vermont’s defense because the outcome could affect all 50 states. Unless legally overturned, starting July 1, 2016, products sold in Vermont that contain more than 0.9 percent GMO content contamination will require a statement on the label indicating that genetic engineering was used. Products that contain GMOs and are labeled as such cannot also label their products as “natural”. The bill, however, does not apply to labels for milk, eggs and meat from animals fed GMOs.

Urban Habitats

How Plants and Animals Adapt to Cities More than half of the world’s population now resides in cities, and the United Nations projects that 5 billion people will call a city home by 2030. “We need to understand how cities are changing the ecology of the systems they are built on, and how plants and animals are adapting to them,” says Dieter Hochuli, a Ph.D. biologist who specializes in integrative ecology at the University of Sydney, in Australia. For the most part, plants and animals adapt to urban surroundings using traits that help them survive in their natural habitat, but some scientists predict the pressures of the city, especially pollution, may become so great that evolution may intervene. “We’ve created this whole new habitat that never used to exist here,” remarks Angela Moles, a University of New South Wales (Australia) plant biologist. “There will be some species living here that are not doing so well and there’ll be selection for individuals that can do better in an urban environment.” “We still have functioning ecosystems, they’re just different from what they were 200 years ago,” comments Hochuli. Some shifts will be irreversible. Source: The Sydney Morning Herald

rom epidemic childhood obesity and rising rates of autism and food allergies to the growing risks of pesticides and climate change, we have many reasons to be concerned about the American food system. Fortunately, many heroes among us—family farmers, community gardeners, visionaries and activists—are striving to create a safer and healthier environment now that will benefit future generations. Recognizing and celebrating their stellar Earth stewardship in this 2014 International Year of Family Farmers, Natural Awakenings is spotlighting examples of the current crop of heroes providing inspiration and hope.

They are changing America’s landscape and the way we think about the ability of good food to feed the future well. Doug Crabtree and Anna JonesCrabtree, of Vilicus Farms, in Havre, Montana, are reviving crop biodiversity and pollinator habitat on their organic farm in northern Montana. “We strive to farm in a manner that works in concert with nature,” Doug explains. The couple’s actions live up to their farm’s Latin name, which means “steward”. They grow 15 nourishing crops on 1,200 acres, including flax, buckwheat, sunflower, safflower, spelt, oats, barley and lentils, without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. By imitating natural systems, planting diverse crops and avoiding damaging chemical inputs, they are attracting diverse native pollinators, he notes. Their approach to farming helps protect area groundwater, streams, rivers and even oceans for future generations. Dick and Diana Dyer, of Dyer Family Organic Farm, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, finally realized their lifelong dream to farm in 2009, each at the age of 59. The couple grows more than 40 varieties of garlic on 15 acres; they also grow

Diana and Dick Dyer hops and care for honeybees. In addition, they provide hands-in-the-soil training to a new generation of dietetic interns across the country through their School to Farm program, in association with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Diana, a registered dietitian, teaches her students to take the, “We are what we eat” adage a step further. She believes, we are what we grow. “Like nearly everyone else, most dietetic students are disconnected from Mother Earth, the source of the food they eat. They don’t learn the vital connections between soil, food and health,” says Diana. During a stay on the Dyer farm, she explains, “The students begin to understand how their food and nutrition recommendations to others can help drive an entire agricultural system that promotes and protects our soil and water, natural resources and public health.” It all aligns with practicing their family farm motto: Shaping our future from the ground up. Mary Jo and Luverne Forbord, of Prairie Horizons Farm, in Starbuck, Minnesota, raise Black Angus cattle, grazed on certified organic, restored, native prairie pastures. Mary Jo, a registered dietitian, welcomes dietetic students to the 480-acre farm to learn where food comes from and how to grow it without the pesticides that contribute to farmers’ higher risk for certain cancers. “We must know the true cost of cheap food,” she insists. Most recently, they planted an organic orchard in memory of their son, Joraan, who died of cancer in 2010 at the age of 23. Joraan’s orchard is home

The couple hopes to help people learn how to grow and prepare their own food, plus gain a greater appreciation for organic farming. “The people that come here fall into a farming lifestyle in tune with the sun and moon, the seasons and their inner clock—something valuable that has been lost in modern lifestyles,” notes Lareau, who especially loves sharing the magic of their farm with children. “Kids are shocked when they learn that carrots grow underground and surprised that milk comes from an udder, not a store shelf.” Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, of Lakeview Organic Grain, in Penn Yan, New York, grow a variety of grains, including wheat, spelt, barley, oats and triticale, plus peas, dark red kidney beans and edamame soybeans, along with raising livestock on about 1,400 acres.

Garden Gunk

Sewage Can Lurk in Bagged Fertilizers Bagged garden fertilizers help plants grow, but store-bought brands can be a scary mix of sewage sludge—treated human, industrial and hospital waste. No federal or state regulations require that sewage sludge, also known as biosolids, be listed on the label. Sludge can also be blended with more natural fertilizers without listing it as an ingredient. Today’s testing requirements for waste sludge cover only 10 elements and two indicator bacteria; all other contaminants, pharmaceuticals and toxic chemicals that go down the drain of every home and business go right into the fertilizer. Terms like “organic” and “natural” only apply to some food products, not compost or fertilizer. Arsenic and lead are both considered natural ingredients. Toxins and heavy metals don’t disappear when exposed to sun or rain; they enter the soil or travel by wind and water runoff into yards and communities and can be absorbed in vegetables, plants and livestock. When we consume foods grown in sludge, we consume whatever the plant takes up from the soil. Also, elements like heavy metals collect in the meat, milk and fat of animals that are fed crops grown in sewage sludge. To protect the family garden, call the fertilizer manufacturer before purchasing a product to verify ingredients. Ask the nursery or store for labeling that depicts which products are sludgefree and also insist on their use at area schools, parks and playgrounds. For more information, visit USludgeFree.org. 28

ssential oils are not magic or folklore. There is solid science behind them,” says Elizabeth Jones, founder of the College of Botanical Healing Arts, in Santa Cruz, California. Here’s what happens after inhaling lavender, the most popular of all essential oils: The cilia—microscopic cellular fibers in the nose—transport the aroma to the olfactory bulb at the bottom of the brain, from where it proceeds to the limbic brain and directly affects the nerves, delivering a soothing effect. “Or put it on your skin and other properties of essential oils are absorbed straight into the bloodstream,” advises Jones, author of Awaken to Healing Fragrance. Thai studies show that a whiff of lavender oil is calming and lowers blood pressure and heart rate, yet there are many more benefits attributed to the art and science of aromatherapy and essential oils. For those struggling with summer maladies, here are several simple solutions essential oils can provide.

Minor Scrapes, Cuts and Blisters Tea tree oil (melaleuca) is tops, because it contains terpenes that kill staphylococcus and other nasty bacteria and works to prevent infection, according to a metaanalysis from the University of Western Australia. The researchers further suggest that tea tree oil may be used in some cases instead of antibiotics. Oregano and eucalyptus oils are likewise acknowledged for their natural abilities to eliminate infection-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses. “Blend all three for a synergistic effect,” says aromatherapy expert Robert Tisserand (RobertTisserand.com), of Ojai, California. “They sort of leapfrog over each other to penetrate the skin and cell walls.”

Sunburn, Bug Bites and Poison Ivy A small amount of undiluted lavender oil will cool sunburn fast, advises Tisserand. Add a few drops to a dollop of cooling aloe vera gel for extra relief and moisture, suggests Jones. Undiluted lavender is also a great remedy for insect bites, says

Best Carriers Almost all essential oils are so strong that they must be diluted before use to prevent skin irritation. Use coldpressed oils and mix 10 to 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier substance. Some of the best carriers are almond oil, aloe vera gel, apricot oil, cocoa butter, glycerin, jojoba oil and olive oil.

Allergy Relief During hay fever season, several aromatherapy oils from a diffuser can offer relief, counsels Tisserand. He recommends eucalyptus, geranium and lavender oils, all of which contain antihistamines. Use them separately or blended. When using a diffuser, it’s not necessary to put the oils into a diluting carrier oil or gel. He notes that a steam tent containing 10 drops of each of the three oils mixed with two cups of boiling water is highly effective.

Sprains, Strains and Joint Pain Tisserand. “You can stop the pain of a bee sting in 20 seconds with a few drops.” Chamomile, either the German or Roman variety, helps with rashes, according to Jones, especially when mixed with her summertime favorite, aloe vera gel. She recommends mugwort oil for poison oak or poison ivy, a benefit affirmed by animal research from the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine’s Herbal Medicine Formulation Research Group.

Lessen inflammation and the pain from tendon and muscle sprains and strains with rosemary or peppermint, adding a dash of ginger for additional benefit, says Tisserand. He recommends rubbing the oils (diluted in a carrier) directly on the sore spot. Rosemary is particularly effective for bringing blood flow to an injury site, and the menthol in peppermint is a great pain reliever, adds Jones. A Chinese study published in the European

Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics confirms the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory abilities of peppermint oil. Researchers from Taiwan confirm that ginger is anti-inflammatory and can even reduce intense nerve pain. Jones believes that essential oils have a place in everyone’s medicine chest. “Sometimes I feel like David up against Goliath,” she remarks. “I encourage everyone to use natural healing products from plants instead of pharmaceutical drugs, the side effects of which actually diminish the body’s natural ability to heal.” Kathleen Barnes has authored numerous books on natural health, including Rx from the Garden: 101 Food Cures You Can Easily Grow.

hat if farmers couldn’t confirm that what they grow and produce was devoid of toxins, cancer-causing chemicals, radioactive materials and other pollutants? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other federal and state agencies set standards and enforce regulations to ensure what we eat is safe and that production is secure. But hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and its accompanying infrastructure threaten this. Questions must be raised and answered before the safety of our food supply is permanently impacted.

Conditions that Demand Changes n No federal funding exists for researching the impacts of chemical contamination from oil and gas drilling and infrastructure on food and food production. n No public tests are required for what contaminants to look for because many of the 500-plus chemicals used in the fracking process are categorized as proprietary. n Minimal-to-no baseline analysis is being done on air, water and soil conditions before oil and gas companies come into a new area. n No commonly agreed distances are lawfully required between farms, farmlands, rivers, streams and water supplies in relation to oil and gas wells and their infrastructure.

Compounding Crises Harsh economic conditions, plus concerns over long-term climate changes, including extreme weather events, have pitted neighbors against one another as farmers consider leasing their lands to oil and gas companies. More, often the riches promised do not make their way to the farmers that need them the most as American policies continue to favor megalithic agribusinesses and push farming families into unsustainable choices.

Standard drilling leases rarely provide broad protections for farmers and can even eliminate their input on where roads are created and fracking machinery is installed on their property, all of which can hamper normal farming. In Pennsylvania, where fracking is commonplace, thousands of diesel trucks drive by working farms daily, compounding problems already associated with 24/7 vibrations, noises, emissions and light pollution, stressing both humans and farm animals. In New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Ohio, farmers that have or are near such leased land are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain mortgages, re-mortgage property and acquire or renew insurance policies. Caught up in a vicious cycle, some farmers feel forced to abandon their farms, thus opening up more land to oil and gas companies. “Fracking is turning many rural environments into industrial zones,” observes Jennifer Clark, owner of Eminence Road Farm Winery, in New York’s Delaware County. She notes that we often hear a lot about the jobs fracking might create, but we hear little about the agricultural jobs being lost or the destruction of a way of life that has been integral to America’s landscape for generations. Asha Canalos, an organic blueberry and heirloom vegetable farmer in Orange County, New York, is among the leaders in the David versus Goliath battle pitting farmers and community members against the Millennium Pipeline Company and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. On May 1, oral arguments were heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals. According to Canalos, “Our case could set a national precedent, with all the attending legal precedent, that will either empower other farmers and communities like ours and Minisink or will do the opposite.” In January 2013, more then 150 New York chefs and food professionals sent a letter to Governor Mario Cuomo calling for a ban on fracking in their state. As of December 2013, more then 250 chefs have signed on to the Chefs for the Marcellus campaign, which created the petition. In April 2014, Connecticut chefs entered the fray by launching their own petition to ban the acceptance of fracking waste in Connecticut. In California this past February, farmers and chefs banded together to present Governor Jerry Brown with a petition calling for a moratorium on fracking, stating that fracking wastes huge amounts of water. The previous month, California had declared a statewide drought emergency, and by April and Brown had issued an executive order to strengthen the state’s ability to manage water. Ironically, existing California regulations don’t restrict water use by industrial processes, including fracking, which uses and permanently removes

Minisink Matters, MinisinkMatters.org tremendous amounts of water from the water cycle. To date, fracking in California operates with little state regulation. It’s past due for a “time out” on oil and gas production and infrastructure development. Every citizen needs to think carefully and thoughtfully about what’s at stake as outside interests rush to use extreme forms of energy extraction to squeeze the last drops of fossil fuels from our Mother Earth.

hether urban or rural, children in our state average 4.5 minutes outdoors and four hours in front of a screen every day,” says Barbara Erickson, president of The Trustees of Reservations conservation nonprofit, in Sharon, Massachusetts. One way to disconnect kids from electronics is to go camping. Such educational, fresh air exercise is inclusive and inexpensive. David Finch, superintendent of the Dunes Edge Campground, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, suggests borrowed gear for the first outing. A backyard campout can be a rewarding trial run; each child can ask a friend to stay over and a parent and the family dog can participate. Once kids have the hang of sleeping somewhere outside their own bedroom, consider an overnight program at a local or regional zoo. Kids get a kick out of watching the animals and learning about their behaviors, diets and habitats. The Toledo Zoo, in Ohio, offers Snooze at the Zoo, including a pizza dinner, breakfast and admission the next day. Children sleep near one of the exhibits or in a safari tent. The

program teaches animal adaptations, food chains and ecosystems and meets requirements for scout badges in a fun setting. The Irvine Nature Center, in Owings Mills, Maryland, near Baltimore, offers a rich outdoor experience. Organizers provide food, activities and camping equipment. Children first attend a fire safety class, and then help cook a meal and make s’mores. At night, participants learn how to mimic owl hoots and practice their new skills, often receiving hoots in return. Night walks sometimes include sightings of deer, bats or flying squirrels, while morning walks showcase groundhogs and birds. Jean Gazis, with the women’s and girls’ rights nonprofit Legal Momentum, in Brooklyn, New York, observes, “It’s easier to camp with small, even tiny, children, than with older kids. Babies are portable.” She recalls taking her 7-weekold infant along and nostalgically comments, “Now that the kids are 11 and 14, they don’t have as much free time.” Drive-up camping in a state park that offers facilities and planned activities sets up a good time. Gazis feels that a des-

“It’s not how fast and how far you go, it’s what you see, smell, touch and listen to along the way. You might move only five feet in 15 minutes, but what you see and discuss will help children grow into respectful explorers and lifelong campers. Take photos and bring a journal; a child’s adventures are the best keepsakes.” ~ Stephanie Rach, founder of the Let’s Go Chipper play-based learning program, in Corte Madera, CA tination four hours away is the limit for car trips with small children. She advises giving everyone duties. “My young son once had a great time digging a ditch around the tent when it began to rain,”

she recalls. “He kept the sleeping bags dry and got to play in the mud.” Jeff Alt, of Cincinnati, Ohio, author of Get Your Kids Hiking, suggests, “Start them young and keep it fun. Get the kids involved in the planning. My kids have gone along since they were born. We stayed at a lodge when they were small because little trekkers have a lot of gear. During the day we were out in the park exploring, always keeping in mind that kids tire out fast.” His mandatory equipment includes good walking shoes, sunscreen and bug spray. Adhering to such rules as never leave the trail or wander off and don’t pick flowers or touch animals is non-negotiable. Stephanie Wear, a biologist for The Nature Conservancy, working in Beaufort, South Carolina, has found that it’s easy to make the experience lively. “We like to do observational scavenger hunts—find the flower, the mushroom or the tree that looks like a picture and make a list of what you see. Getting out in nature sharpens observation skills, boosts creativity and improves physi-

Budget Gear by Avery Mack If family members enjoy their initial camping experiences, it’s time to invest in gear. Goodwill Industries and other thrift stores may have some items, although finding what’s needed will be a hit-or-miss endeavor. Note that sleeping bags at thrifts will most likely be for indoor use only—not waterproofed or suitable for colder weather. Military surplus stores are a better bet. Check these sites for bargains or discounted prices: Tinyurl.com/BargainOutfitters Cabelas.com Campmor.com Craigslist.org The-House.com/buy-cheap-camping.html

Tinyurl.com/OverstockHiking Rei.com/outlet Thrift shops often have inexpensive flatware and plastic/reusable dishes (cuts paper waste at the campsite), as well as clothing that carefree kids won’t have to worry about ruining; pick gender-neutral colors so T-shirts can be passed down or shared. When packing, give each child a personally labeled travel container with clothing, toothbrush and other essentials, and a current checklist to be sure each item is packed (and repacked at camp). Include other items of their choosing but if any of them don’t fit in, they don’t go along.

Visit a local park or NatureRocks.org to take part in more activities and explore different locations. “Nature presents a great parenting tool,” she remarks.

Summertime, and the Sippin’ is Easy

Quick and Cool Vegan Smoothies by Judith Fertig

moothies offer big nutrition in a small package. Based on a vegan source of lean protein like coconut milk or yogurt, soy, chia seeds or a vegan protein powder made from dried beans or hemp, they can energize us for a full day of summer activities. Other ingredients follow the peak of summer crops. Berries, greens, melon, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, celery, carrots and stone fruits like peaches and mangoes add antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. A tablespoon or two of milled flax seeds, hemp or nut butter adds richness to the flavor, while providing omega-3 fatty acids necessary for complete nutrition. For the finale, add a touch of sweetness from fruits,

maple syrup, agave nectar or stevia. The best way to mix a smoothie is to start with either a liquid or an ingredient with a thicker consistency, like yogurt, placed in a standard or high-speed performance blender. Next, add the desired fruits or vegetables and flavorings, followed by ice. Start on a slower speed, holding down the lid tightly, before increasing the speed to achieve a velvety texture. If the smoothie is too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice. Freezing the fruits first and then blending them into a smoothie can substitute for ice. Peeling bananas before freezing them makes smoothie-making easier. Freezing the fruits in recipe-size portions also simplifies the process.

½ cup apple juice 2 cups stemmed and chopped baby spinach, Swiss chard or kale 1 apple, unpeeled, cored and chopped ½ avocado, peeled and chopped ½ cup cilantro leaves 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice 1 Tbsp matcha (fine green tea powder) 1 Tbsp milled flax seeds ¼ cup vegan protein powder

Smooth-fleshed fruits like mangoes, papayas, bananas, ripe peaches and nectarines blend more easily to a silky finish than do fresh berries. Tender, baby greens such as spinach, kale or chard virtually disappear within a smoothie; if using mature, rather than baby greens, cut out the stems unless the blender is extremely powerful. Blending enough ingredients for two smoothies can yield a leftover serving to store in a reusable glass jar in the refrigerator. To reactivate the full taste later, just turn over the jar and give it a good shake to re-blend the ingredients. Spirulina (made from a microsaltwater plant) and wheatgrass juice and powder are some popular smoothie additions. Milled flax seeds add healthy fat, but their water-soluble fiber also adds a little bulk; although the texture difference isn’t noticeable if the smoothie is enjoyed right away, it will be apparent if it sits for 20 minutes or more. With the whir of a blender—and no cooking—summer’s tastiest bounty transforms into at-home or on-the-go beverages to revive, replenish and renew us so we’re ready for our next adventure.

ames Gormley, a leader of the natural health movement in the U.S. and an award-winning health journalist, is a passionate advocate for natural health. For more than 20 years, he’s been at the forefront in the fight against government restriction of dietary supplements and for transparency in the food industry, and has twice participated in America’s trade delegation to the United Nations Codex Alimentarius Commission, advocating for health freedom. Gormley’s editorial positions have included editor-in-chief of Better Nutrition and editorial director for the Vitamin Retailer Magazine Group. He now serves as both vice president and senior policy advisor for Citizens for Health and as a scientific advisory board member with the Natural Health Research Institute. His latest book, Health at Gunpoint: The FDA’s Silent War Against Health Freedom, poses a strong stance against government interference in our rights to information about and access to healthy food and supplements.

The FDA was created to address issues of food and drug contamination and adulteration. Dr. Harvey Wiley, the courageous first leader of its predecessor, the Bureau of Chemistry, expressed his disgust with the unintended consequences in his 1929

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

book, The History of a Crime Against the Food Law: The Amazing Story of the National Food and Drugs Law Intended to Protect the Health of the People, Perverted to Protect Adulteration of Foods and Drugs. The FDA has been beholden to drug companies for decades. Making the situation worse, a 2012 law loosened conflict of interest restrictions for FDA advisory panels. That has further weakened the agency’s review system and likely allowed more drugs with safety problems to gain marketing approval, according to an analysis published in the journal Science in 2013. In addition, 40 percent of the FDA’s last budget increase came from user fees on prescription drugs paid by the pharmaceutical giants. The USDA has the potential to do much good, but is bogged down with politics and mandates to push questionable biotechnology.

With regard to the controversy over genetically modified organisms (GMO), are certain companies being given undue influence in national policy making? Yes. A perfect example was the ability of Monsanto to block initiatives requiring labeling of food products that contain GMOs in California and Washington state. Monsanto and the food industry continue to leverage their considerable influence in the U.S. Congress to block such legislation on a national level, despite the massive outcry from consumers demanding to know the identity and origin of the food we eat.

Did the FDA declare war on the natural products industry in the 1990s? The FDA conducted numerous and illegal raids on health food stores, supplement makers and practitioners. In an infamous barbaric raid on the clinic of integrative physician Dr. Jonathan Wright, in Tahoma, Washington, in 1992, agents and deputized officers converged with guns drawn, terrorizing patients and staff because Wright was giving his patients legal Ltryptophan supplements to help with sleep and mood. It was dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vitamin B-bustâ&#x20AC;?. A federal grand jury declined to indict Wright on the charges stemming from the raid.

Current European Union and international codex policies maintain that most necessary nutrients can and should be obtained from foods, so they have dramatically limited the availability of many supplements. Do you expect such a policy to become part of U.S. law? These European policies fly in the face of reality and every major food study conducted since World War II. The superrefined, overly processed Western diet does not and cannot fully supply optimal levels of daily nutrients. The U.S. has made minor efforts to tread this dangerous path and been met with tremendous consumer outrage. Potential related laws and policies would have to make it past an avalanche of public comments.

What is the current status of the fight for health freedom, and what is your prognosis for the future? Substantial threats to our health freedom still exist, but I am optimistic. Three highly credible nonprofit organizations are leading the way: the Alliance for Natural Health, Citizens for Health and the National Health Federation. If consumers remain vigilant and stay informed on the issues identified by these advocates, we will be able to tackle and defeat threats to Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health freedoms as they emerge.

The improved natural environment attracts visitors to the lake to try new sports like wakesurfing, riding the water behind a wave-producing boat by dropping the tow line once waves form.

Their WK Lewis Shoreline Cleanup has removed 179 tons of trash in 10 years.

How Trash Impacts Marine Life by Avery Mack “No matter where you live, trash can travel from your hands to storm drains to streams and on to the sea. The problem of ocean trash is entirely preventable, and you can make a difference,” advises the Ocean Conservancy. The Ocean Trash Index provides information by state and country on how much and what kind of trash enters our waterways. Each fall, data is collected during the organization’s International Coastal Cleanup one-day campaign both on land and under water. About 10 million pounds of trash was collected worldwide in 2013; of that total, 3.5 million pounds, or nearly 35 percent, originated in the U.S. The most common offenses include discarded cigarette butts and filters, food wrappers, plastic bottles and bags, beverage caps and lids, cups, plates, utensils, straws and stirrers, glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper bags. All of it could have been recycled, including the cigarettes (see RippleLife.org/butts). Trash enters the water from illegal or

thoughtless dumping, extreme weather events, a crashed plane, sunken boat, lost fishing traps, nets or lines, movie props or windblown litter. For example, a plastic bag blows out of the trash can or truck, enters a storm drain or creek and moves into rivers and the ocean, where it endangers marine life, swimmers and watercraft. Water boards in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area recognize that voluntary measures aren’t enough to solve the problem. Some cities in the Los Angeles area have implemented full-capture systems designed to trap debris greater than five millimeters in size. Prevention is obviously the least expensive, safest and easiest way to keep water clean. To protect local, regional and global waters, follow the familiar refrain of recycle, reuse, repair and repurpose. Be thoughtful about what’s in the trash can and keep it securely closed. Move the car on street sweeping days—along with dust, dirt and leaves,

POOCH 10 Foods to Make a Dog’s Coat Glow by Suzi Beber

o keep our dog’s skin and coat healthy, supplements may first come to mind, especially oils and powders. However, whole foods deserve a closer look for naturally elegant results.

Chia

Chia seeds contain more healthy omega-3 fats and fiber than flax or other grain seeds and are a good source of protein and antioxidants, notes Patrick Skerrett, executive editor of Harvard Health Publications. They are abundant in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based form of omega-3, which combats skin inflammation and improves the skin’s texture and softness, says holistic nutritionist Melissa Diane Smith, of Tucson, Arizona.

Eggs

Eggs are nutritional powerhouses containing the most bioavailable protein for dogs. Eggs have vitamin A, which promotes cell turnover. Their zinc further supports protein synthesis and cell division, necessary for wound healing, the formation of connective tissue and skin health,

according to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements. Egg yolks provide a valuable source of biotin, effective in treating dry skin, seborrhea and itching associated with skin allergies, reports PetEducation.com, a website of veterinarians Dr. Race Foster and Dr. Marty Smith, owners of Foster and Smith, Inc. Avoid raw eggs, as they contain avidin, which interferes with the metabolism of biotin, fats, glucose and amino acids, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Almonds

Almonds contain the entire vitamin E family of tocopherols and tocotrienols. “Deficiency of vitamin E has been implicated in the development of certain dermatological disorders in dogs,” counsels Lee Russell McDowell, Ph.D., in Vitamins in Animal and Human Nutrition. Almonds are also an excellent source of B vitamins, copper, manganese, magnesium, zinc and bioflavonoids, with a trace of omega-3. While safe in small quantities for larger dogs, whole almonds are not easily digested and can upset the stomach and create intestinal distress. Almonds are easily ground into a powder using a blender, and almond meal is also available at many grocery stores.

Coconut

Renowned herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy pioneered the use of coconut in natural diets for companion animals. Raw coconut contains medium-chain, saturated fats that transform into energy and can decrease bacterial growth, irritation and inflammation, according to naturopathic physician Bruce Fife, a certified nutritionist, doctor of naturopathy and author of The Coconut Oil Miracle.

Carob

Carob, the fruit of the Ceratonia siliqua tree, is rich in natural sugars, vitamins and minerals. Free of the stimulants caffeine and theobromine found in chocolate, it’s safe for dogs and its vitamin

E supports skin health. Recent research published in the Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal shows that carob also has natural antibacterial properties.

Oats

A fortifying cereal low in starch and high in mineral content, especially potassium and phosphorus, oats also harbor calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and iron. The grain’s primary benefit to skin and coat is its soluble fiber content, which also helps a dog’s gastrointestinal system to remove toxins.

Cranberries

Cranberries contain a variety of bioactive components, including proanthocyanidins and anthocyanin antioxidants, plus the phytochemical ellagic acid. “Animal experiments show that supplementation with anthocyanins effectively prevents inflammation and subsequent blood vessel damage,” explains Northern California Registered Dietitian Marilyn Sterling, who also points to myriad studies of the antioxidant power of proanthocyanidins. According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, ellagic acid can prevent skin cancers. The 16th-century herbalist Henry Lyte documented their use in treating skin wounds and eczema.

048 is a plan to prevent wars, eliminate poverty and create the conditions for global sustainability by the time we celebrate the centennial of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, unanimously adopted in 1948 by all UN member countries. 2048 dispels myths, including a major misconception that peace and prosperity are hopelessly complicated and unattainable. In truth, both can be secured through the realization of five fundamental freedoms for everyone: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, freedom for the environment and freedom from fear. These basic freedoms establish a framework within which other rights can flourish. The five fingers of our hand illustrate the possibilities, starting with the thumb. It looks different and stands out. It is strong. It represents freedom of speech, an idea that stands up to dishonesty and corruption. With our index finger, we point and indicate direction. It represents freedom of religion. Each of us is free to choose our own way. Those that decide God is their guide are free to live their own relationship with God. The middle finger, the longest, represents freedom from want—the long

road of existence and the certainty that there’ll be food, water, education and health care for every one of us as we go along. Next is the wedding ring finger for many of us, and a finger with a direct link to our nervous system for all of us. It represents freedom for the environment and for life. We all have a direct link to the Earth and the ecosystem of which we are a part. When the life of the Earth is spoiled, our lives are spoiled. Finally, there is our little finger, the least imposing. It represents freedom from fear. It’s the “finale” of our hand, our reward. All the others lead to this one. As we recount the five freedoms represented by our fingers, remember that we didn’t ask for that hand; we were born with it. Everyone was born with the right to all five freedoms. They are the essence of a good life for all, and in this way they are intertwined; the success of each bolsters the others. As we learn our rights, we come to expect and demand them, with lasting results. They become our way of life. Source: Adapted excerpt from 2048: Humanity’s Agreement to Live Together by Kirk Boyd.

THE WAY OF LIBERATION A PRACTICAL GUIDE OF SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT By Adyashanti

here is a lot of really good literature available about the enlightened experience or awakening. Most of them will acknowledge how confusing it all is since "enlightenment" or "awakening" is not actually an experience. It is the Beingness from which all experience arises. It also doesn't help matters that the mind tries so hard to understand an experience it will never have. It is not the mind that awakens; in essence who you are awakens from your mind. Still it is very useful to study the works of the great past and current teachers as we make our way. I believe that Adyashanti is one of those great current teachers and his work is largely devoted to taking a lot of the confusion, misunderstandings, and misconceptions about what awakening is and isn't out of our process. If one is genuinely interested in the process of awakening it is helpful to understand that there are things that support that process and things are deter that process. As he states in the introduction of the book: “Many people think that it is the function of a spiritual teaching to provide answers to life’s biggest questions, but actually the opposite is true. The primary task of any good spiritual teaching is not to answer your questions, but to question your answers. For it is your conscious and unconscious assumptions and beliefs that distort your perception and cause you to see separation and division where there is actually only unity and completeness.” This book is Adyashanti's offering of some basic tools that he has found to work. As he states on the back cover, "This is not a book about spiritual betterment, self-improvement, or altered states of consciousness. It is about spiritual awakening

- going from the dream state of ego to the awakened state beyond ego as quickly and efficiently as possible". These are his core teachings and he warns you that they may be distressing to the ego. The book is laid out to yield results quickly if followed through. First he outlines necessary foundations, creating the framework for our relationship to the process. Then he takes time to clarify what we are actually dealing with so that we are not wasting time where it is not helpful. Once this firm groundwork has been established we are ready to jump into the core practices he has found to work. The first of the foundations is to clarify your aspiration. What is it, really, that you want? This is an extraordinarily important question, kind of like getting clarity on your life intention. What is it that you want to accomplish with this life that you have? What is worth giving your time and attention to? Here it is in Adyashanti's words:

tion cannot be over-emphasized, because life unfolds along the lines of what you value most. Very few people have Truth or Reality as deep values. They may think that they value Truth, but their actions do not bear this out. Generally, most people have competing and conflicting values, which manifest as both international and external conflict. So just because your think something is your deepest value does not mean that it actually is. By deeply contemplating and clarifying what you value and aspire to, you become more unified, clear, and certain of your direction. As your realization and spiritual maturity deepen, you will find that some aspects of your aspiration remain steadfast while others evolve to reflect what is relevant to your current level of insight. By reflecting on and clarifying the issues relevant to your current level of understanding, you stay focused on the cutting edge of your own unfolding.

Clarify Your Aspiration

This is a refreshingly clear and concise book that I highly recommend to anyone on the spiritual journey. 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.

To clarify your aspiration means knowing exactly what it is that your spiritual life aspires to, not as a future goal but in each moment. In other words, what do you value most in your life - not in the sense of moral values, but in the sense of what is most important to you. Contemplate this question. Do not assume that you know what your highest aspiration is, or even what is most important to you. Dig deep within, contemplate, and meditate on what the spiritual quest is about for you; don't let anyone else define your aspiration for you. Look within until you find, with complete clarity, what you aspire to. The importance of this first Founda-

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

icorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is the rhizome (root or stem) of a plant that is native to southern and central Europe, Egypt, and Asia. It gets the name we use from the Greek “glyks” (sweet) and “rhiza” (root). The Chinese call it “gan cao” (sweet grass); French – regliss; German – lakritze; Italian – liquirizia; and Spanish – regaliz. The plant is an herbaceous perennial, a shrubby, 4-5 foot tall, woody-rooted bean plant with feathery leaves and light blue to violet flowers. The medicinal parts are the dried roots and rhizomes. It is extensively cultivated in Russia, Spain, other parts of Europe and Asia, and India. There are several varieties of Glycyrrhiza, found in different regions, with variations of flavor. The main biochemical of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid, which is a large molecule containing two sugar moieties or parts plus a steroid–like part. Glycyrrhizic acid is the source of its sweetness, which is somewhere between 50-150 times sweeter than sugar. Licorice has a medicinal and highly aromatic bouquet, with a sweet flavor, similar to anise, and has a slightly bitter and salty aftertaste, which, when chewed, seems to get sweeter and sweeter. Licorice has been used for thousands of years for a variety of purposes, though its most popular use has been as a sweetener or sweet candy itself. Ancient Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Indians all used licorice for flavor and medicinal purposes. Even King Tutankhamen was buried with a supply of it along with all his other gold and necessities. It was cultivated in more recent times (since the 16th century) in England by the Dominican monks in Pontefract, Yorkshire, where the confectionery trade began, and Pontefract cakes are still a favorite. Licorice candy actually has less than 2% natural licorice extract in it, usually taking its flavor from anise or a synthetic substitute. Probably 90% of all licorice goes to – can you believe it? – the tobacco industry, where it is used to flavor our socially acceptable poisonous and cancerous tobacco products (yes, I’ll be blunt – tobacco should be banned forever – and what a waste of licorice).

LICORICE HAS MANY ANCIENT AND MODERN USES: • • 46

Description: Birth is our “source” experience in the body. When we were born we were conscious participants in our own birth. We learned and made decisions in utero and the birth affects our subsequent mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The perinatal experience, especially the immediate time after birth, is the origin of our emotional (stress) response to every situation we encounter. The decisions we make at birth are the foundation or source for the beliefs we live by each and every day. The most important work anyone can do is to support and nurture a pregnant woman towards a conscious, gentle and empowering birth experience! *THIS WORKSHOP IS A MUST FOR ALL Midwives, doctors, doulas and childbirth educators.
