Optimal Health “Everyone tells me how great I look for my age, but I don’t feel great inside.”

C

eleste did look great, either from her modelesque figure, breast implants, Botox, or the combination of all three. Looking at her new patient questionnaire, however, I had to agree, she wasn’t as healthy as she looked.

Celeste continued, “My friend Jena raves about you and handed me one of your brochures. She said you made her feel twenty years younger. I want to get what she’s getting!”

“Patient-to-patient referral has always been my best source of new patients, but rather than ‘selling the same program’ of tests, supplements, and hormones to everybody, whether they need it or not, I do what a board-certified physician is trained to do, I evaluate each patient individually. Tell me, if there was a miracle tonight, what would be different tomorrow?”

“How about tonight? I’d sleep. It seems that I’m up at 3:15 like clockwork every morning to pee, and then I can’t get back to sleep until hours later. And when I wake up for real, I’m destroyed.”

“God created night then day; night came first because it’s so important. I want you to wake up fully refreshed, anticipating your day.”

“How can I look forward to things when my clothes don’t fit, I need to use hair extensions and acrylics, everything I eat bloats me to where I’m 5-months pregnant, and my girlfriends have more libido towards my husband than I do?”

Luckily, not only do I have 80+ minutes

to spend with new patients, I also had a box of tissues to hand to Celeste. “All of this is fixable. Instead of using ‘pharmacy’ (or ‘green pharmacy’ of vitamins and hormones) to cover up your symptoms, I prefer a Functional Medicine approach to make your body work properly, the way it did in your 20’s.”

“Just up to a few years ago, I was able to eat great tasting food without running to the bathroom, drink champagne at charity events, and still be able to play tennis the next day. Now I’m just spent.”

“I’ve seen all this before, and I’m confident we can get you back to optimum health.

Let’s finish off our assessment. Besides my history and physical exam, there are some tests I need. Even though you have a concierge physician who did a screening panel, I need to look in depth at your adrenals, thyroid, and other hormones. Food allergies and dysbiosis (bad bacteria in your gut) can cause that bloating, and vitamin insufficiencies are common enough that we have to test for those as well.”

“Anything we can start off now?”

“Yes! I’ve been practicing this way for over a dozen years, and based upon what I know now, we can start with a little of everything: behavior changes, diet, exercise, supplements, stuff like that.” I continued, “You don’t have to change your life drastically, but little things will make a big difference.”

“Like what?”

“You already take baths, so we’re going to add Epsom Salts (to absorb magnesium through your skin) to make your skin less dry, your muscles less achy, and your sleep better. I have a ‘detox diet’ handout that mentions safe foods to eat, but if you just think

‘protein and colorful vegetables and fruits’, you’ll do okay. Before you leave, I’ll teach you a stretch that decreases that ‘pouch’ at your beltline, and there are a few vitamins that are so obvious for you to start with (but safe to take too).”

“But what about that IV therapy that Jena told me about?”

“When patients are really sick, or are trying to get the most optimal results yesterday, I do offer injections of vitamins, minerals, glutathione, and other nutrients. For example, iron injections rapidly help hair growth, brittle nails, fatigue, memory/concentration, and muscle cramps (restless legs).”

Celeste’s testing did show causes for all her symptoms and on her second visit, a plan specific to her was put in place. Three months later, she was glowing and her visits were now spaced out to where she only had to be seen once every six months.

“Next week you get to see both my husband and daughter. I just booked a family trip to tour the volcanoes in Hawaii. I need them to keep up with me.”

Kenneth N. Woliner, M.D., A.B.O.I.M, IFMCP www.holisticfamilymed.com • 561-314-0950

newsbriefs Lower Energy Costs, Lower Taxes and Get More Access to Solar VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT 4 ON AUGUST 30

O

n August 30, by casting your YES vote on Amendment 4, all Floridians will have an opportunity to lower the cost of energy. If passed, the proposed amendment will exempt solar systems from the burdensome tangible personal property tax for a period of 20 years.

A YES vote on Amendment 4 by at least 60 percent of registered voters will allow the amendment to become law and remove property and real estate taxes on solar energy systems, lowering the cost to lease or buy solar panels for your home or business. This makes solar more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Better solar economics means more solar development, which lays the groundwork for cleaner air and a more sustainable future for Floridians. Amendment 4 should not be confused with the utility-backed proposal on the November ballot.

Become familiar with the full text of Amendment 4 as it will appear on the August 30 primary ballot.Solar Devices or Renewable Energy Source Devices; Exemption from Certain Taxation and Assessment: Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to authorize the Legislature, by general law, to exempt from ad valorem taxation the assessed value of solar or renewable energy source devices subject to tangible personal property tax, and to authorize the legislature, by general law, to prohibit consideration of such devices in assessing the value of real property for ad valorem taxation purposes. This amendment takes effect January 1, 2018, and expires on December 31, 2037.

For more information and to vote by mail, visit YesOn4.org.

GET BACK TO YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE WITHOUT SURGERY AND DOWNTIME Using Non-Surgical Techniques to Fight Arthritis and Sports Injuries

The Center for Regenerative Medicine The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with chief complaint of knee pain who visited The Center For Regenerative Medicine over a year ago. He was diagnosed with bone-on- bone osteoarthritis of left knee, causing much pain and discomfort; at that point he was told only a total knee replacement can help him.

He is otherwise healthy. On exam he had point tenderness to the medial side of left knee (medical lingo: inner side). An X-ray showed severe arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at the Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the bottom).

Before

After

This is how it works: The physician introduces natural medicine into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities, including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no downtime, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately.

The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go the The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non- surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past six years.

“Your gentleness, compassion, utter professionalism and A-Z holistic healing methods go way beyond any medical treatment I have ever heard of or experienced... You and your associates are a ‘dream team’ come true.”

Stop suffering. Call us to book an appointment today.

newsbriefs A Call for Action to ALL Wellness Instructors & Providers!

Give 1 monthly pro bono wellness session to the needy!

A

Florida nonprofit organization, Yu School, has recently initiated a global “Wellness to All” mission. Its quest is to provide wellness education and classes to people in every denomination. Because Yu School believes the quality of a nation is not marked by how great the wealthy lives, but how much the least fortunate is cared for, its priority focus is to deliver FREE wellness classes to the most needed yet very underserved population that normally has less financial means, mobility and leisure time for the “luxury” of wellness practices, namely the low-income, elderly, single parents, compromised veterans, distressed or hardshipped individuals or families, and the chronically sick, addicted and depressed, etc.

As wellness practitioners, we know very well any unhealed wounds of the mind and spirit not only will adversely impact all their relationships and the society, and inevitably impact the next generation, but also will manifest as various physical illnesses later on, which will further adversely impact families and societies… As wellness practitioners, we know very well neither pharmaceutical drugs nor recreational drugs

will bring the injured mind and spirit back to its balanced state. The community has to step up and show our care!

As wellness instructors, we have the privilege to possess the knowledge and techniques to promote good health and wellbeing by lessening stress responses in the faces of all kinds of challenges in life and by improving immunity to ward off invasion of harmful microbes, toxins and the overgrowth of cancer cells. We can help prevent dis-ease, speed up the healing process, and ultimately improve the quality of life regardless what stage and situation we are dealing with in life.

In carrying out this global mission of delivering wellness to the underserved population in each town and city, Yu School has spearheaded and already started providing FREE classes to local Parkinson center and independent/assisted living communities through its trained instructors. Yet, a colossal network of altruistic wellness practitioners is obviously needed. Hence, Yu School is calling all wellness practitioners and instructors to join force and offer at least 1 pro bono (FREE) session of your service each month, whether a group tai chi/qigong/yoga/medi-

tation/martial art/aerobics class, a group healing, or a wellness screening/seminar/ workshop in local community centers, churches, private facilities or simply in the park or on the beach …

If you already offer pro bono services or plan to do so, just email us at info@ yushcool.com with your name, state & city, type/date/time/location of service or class offered, your website and name of beneficiary facility if any. Yu School will gratefully list your info on our website as one of our “Volunteer Instructors”. All volunteer instructors will receive a 50% discount on all of our instructor courses.

Yu School is a Boca Raton based Florida nonprofit organization. It currently offers weekly tai chi and qigong classes to the public at 2 Boca locations. For info on classes, instructor courses and live class recordings, log onto www.yuschool.com or call 561-235-0939.

newsbriefs DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE!

T

his month we celebrate freedom, independence and the men and women whose efforts have won these rights for all of us.

We’re fortunate to live in a society grounded in the “inalienable right” to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We each have our own definition of what these freedoms mean for us.

For me, a very important aspect is the ability to make my own lifestyle choices and to live in a way that supports my own health and well-being.

For me these freedoms are most of all about feeling good, being able to live the life I choose, being confident and in touch with my personal power—and having a sense of peace that comes from my connection to a Higher Power.

By achieving a state of well-being–physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually–I’m able to pursue whatever gives me happiness and joy.

As a reflexologist, I naturally use reflexology as one of the primary ways to keep myself feeling great and in balance on all levels. Reflexology is the art/science of applying pressure to “reflex points” on the feet, hands, face and ears to gently but effectively affect all your organs, glands, and every part of your body.

reflexology, I empower others to learn new skills and create new careers that help to bring them the freedom of financial independence. Whether my students use their skills to benefit their families and friends, “hang out a shingle” as professional reflexologists or add reflexology to an already existing therapeutic practice, it’s a joy for me to know that my work has not only touched their lives but also benefits those they will help.

In a very real sense, the day I discovered reflexology was “Independence Day” for me! Reflexology has given me a healthier, more peaceful Life, the Liberty of a career that has provided a great deal of personal satisfaction, the flexibility to live a full life, financial independence and the joyful Happiness that comes from helping others!

Today, declare your independence. Believe in yourself, trust in the wisdom of life, positive visualization and speech, and the willingness to step into your greatness.

Dental Wellness: A Commitment to Being Healthy!

by Dr. J. H.

I

knew about Dr. Cintron through Natural Awakenings holistic magazine. I always had dental issues and, being a physician, was somewhat aware of the possible consequences of what had been done in the past by traditional dentistry.

After reading Dr. Cintron’s articles and her comprehensive approach, I made an appointment with her for an evaluation. I was very impressed and surprised by what I was told and shown by the doctor and staff (very professional). Maybe some of my symptoms were going to find a resolution. My health was definitely in jeopardy if I did not act quickly.

All my root canals were infected and my health was shattered.

Therefore, I decided to make the time and financial commitment that could be the difference between being healthy or drag the toxicity to an already affected body.

I recommend anyone who has root canals and mercury fillings to take them out. Every time you chew and swallow, you’re putting toxins into your body and you don’t know how they may affect your general health.

Commentary from Dr. Cintron’s International Center for Dental Excellence: As part of our protocol after surgery, we recommend our patients go to a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and upon examination, the doctor at the chamber found a problem (heart murmur) with our patient’s heart. God’s grace revealed a major problem that needed emergency surgery.

Periodontal disease is a silent killer and 85% of the population have some form of periodontal disease that is undetected and/or untreated. This may cause permanent damage to the heart and lungs. Stroke, endocarditis, bacteremia, digestive problems and diarrhea may be the result of such damage.

Dental DNA Test

Our DNA testing of the root canal treated teeth revealed what types of bacteria were present.

Patients should not underestimate the effects the bacteria in the mouth can have on the body as cavities and gum disease have been found to affect other organs. Pictured here is a DNA report of a patient who came with his heart working at 30%. Notice when normal bacteria is found at levels over 9.5, they become very dangerous.

Would you like to know what is currently in your mouth and affecting your health? We use Full View test kits for collecting blood, tissue, teeth, root canals, cavitations, implants, and bone grafts. The general description, symptoms of infection and current CDC treatment recommendations are included in the report for each microbe.

newsbriefs THE GREAT EMF EXPERIMENT How it impacts your health and what you can do about it WHAT IS EMF? EMF is an abbreviation for "Electro Magnetic Frequencies". EMF is generally considered the combination of invisible frequencies in our environment including low frequency from electrical and magnetic fields derived from appliances, electrical wires, computers and TV's and high frequency from smart phones, cell towers, wireless phones and Wi-Fi. Never before in recorded history have we been exposed to a more intense EMF grid than today and it increases in size and intensity daily. If all EMF radiation were visible today, in most cities you probably could not see the hand in front of your face.

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EMF Scientific research regarding the negative biological impact of EMF has been going on for decades; however most of the results are not widely known by the public. The World Health Organization now classifies cell phone radiation as a Class 2 B carcinogen and recently a $25 million dollar study by the US government confirmed that cell phone radiation is carcinogenic.

Dr. Allan Frey, a biologist and researcher into the biological effects of EMF did a study in 1975 that was published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Dr. Frey injected white rats with blue dye, which was seen in the bloodstream but not in the brain. He then exposed them to microwaves and within minutes the dye was seen in the brains of the rats.

The results show that EMF diminishes the blood-brain barrier, allowing bacteria, viruses and other toxins access to the brain.

The collective body of Dr. Frey’s research shows the following biological effects from EMF: • Doubling of Lymphoma in mice • Increased number of tumors in rats • Distorted sleep patterns • Increased blood pressure in healthy men • Headaches caused by RF

Scientific studies by Dr. Varga at the University of Heidelberg have proved that pulsating and non-pulsating radiation has an effect on the pituitary gland in the brain and therefor, can negatively affect the central nervous system.

John Aitken, a well-known fertility researcher at the University of Newcastle in Australia conducted a study on sperm and what happens when exposed to EMF. Does anyone know a male that keeps his cell phone in his pocket? The sperm exposed to EMF died (3) times faster and had (3) times the mitochondrial DNA damage than the non-exposed group. Greater negative effects on sperm were measured with just small amounts EMF exposure.

Children are at greater risk due to their developing brains with more fluid that allows increased penetration of radiation. Cell phone research shows increased permeability and radiation absorption in inverse relation to age. Manufacturers are now marketing cell phone protectors for babies so the phone will be protected by drool and dropping by your baby (never mind the EMF and radiation exposure to your infant).

According to statistics published by the American Brain Tumor Association, there are 700,000 Americans now living with a primary brain and central nervous system tumor; this year 17,000 of these people will lose the battle with this condition. Malignant brain tumors are the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in adolescents and young adults aged 15-39 and the most common cancer occurring among 15-19 year olds.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT? Do your own research, educate yourself and share the information with your friends and family. Here are a few very informative websites for you: www.microwavenews.com, www.emf-portal.de, www.ehtrust.org and www.cellphonetaskforce.org. Curious about how many cell towers are in your neighborhood? Go to www. antennasearch.com.

Minimization is step 1.

One of the first things anyone can do is to take a step back in time.

Replacing your Wi-Fi with a corded LAN line is very helpful; you will have to get your neighbors to do the same. If you won’t wire your internet at least turn the Wi-Fi off at night. Trade your cordless house phones in for the old fashioned corded model; the cordless phones are just as dangerous as cell phones.

Keep your cell phone off your body and use the speakerphone to talk; having direct skin contact with smartphones is one of the worst things you can do. If you need to put it in your pocket, at least turn it off or use airplane mode. When you go to bed make a habit of turning your cell phone on airplane mode.

For women, the breasts are especially sensitive to radiation due to the fluid nature of the tissue, and

E

in men the genitalia are highly sensitive especially when carrying a phone in the pocket.

Laptops emit a significant amount of radiation and should never be used on your lap; at 50 centimeters from your body the Wi-Fi signal from your laptop is stronger than a cell phone tower 100 meters away. You can use a corded mouse and keyboard and keep the laptop further away for your energetic field.

Your sleeping area is very important due to the nature of the human body needing to rest, repair and rejuvenate at night. Your autonomic nervous system goes into parasympathetic mode when you sleep and if you cells are constantly responding to EMF in your environment, the result is a less than adequate nightly rejuvenation process. It is optimal to have an organic latex bed with a wood frame and no metal box springs. No electric beds, they often have an EMF field even when not in use. Remove electronic devices like digital clocks from the sides of your bed. A general rule is to keep all metals out of the bedroom.

Minimize your blue light exposure. It is important to eliminate the eye’s exposure to blue light especially after dark to insure proper circadian signaling that begins with absence of blue light frequencies in the eye at dusk. When you look at your screens after dark, you body has biological problems creating melatonin. For laptops and PC’s download f.lux from justgetflux.com for free. IPhones have a nightshift feature built in to display properties, turn it on. Android users can download twilight from google play. There are also screens to put on other phone types to block blue light exposure.

based upon what is presented. The Geo-Safe-E System is based on 30 years of research and experience in electromagnetic and earth radiation study by Dieter Schaefer, and are proven to neutralize harmful EMF radiation. Geo-Safe products contain over 20 crystal and mineral substances with varying physical angles of refraction for radiation neutralization. Thousands of doctors and therapists in over 70 countries use the Geo-Safe System successfully.

Magnetic fields and radio waves can’t be magically eliminated.

They are still technically measurable in the air after neutralization. However, after neutralization they are no longer medically or technically measurable IN THE BODY, whether by means of bio-resonance, electro-acupuncture, blood tests or kinesiology.

Gary is a certified Geo-Biological Consultant with the Geo-Safe Institute from Germany. He has been helping others with EMF neutralizations in their homes and office for almost a decade. He is also certified as a Qi-Gong Instructor, Reiki Master and a QRA (Quantum Reflex Analysis) Practitioner.

He studied business in college and has his MBA from Lehigh University and BS from Towson State University. He can be reached at 520-591-8282 and www.garyjamesqra.com and www.facebook.com/Geosafeusa/.

Calcium Pills Don’t Build Bone Health

R

esearchers reporting in the British medical journal The Lancet, analyzed 44 studies on calcium supplementation or dietary calcium and bone fractures and concluded, “Dietary calcium intake is not associated with risk of fracture and there is no current evidence that increasing dietary calcium intake prevents fractures.” Qualifying studies included more than 44,000 people.

A different meta-study from New Zealand’s University of Auckland, also published in The Lancet, reviewed 59 clinical and observational studies of calcium and bone density. The meta-analysis compared the effect of calcium doses of 500, 800 and 1,000 milligrams per day and found that bone density improvements ranged between 0.6 and 1.8 percent throughout the body during the first year of supplementation, but did not increase over time.

They concluded that the improvements in bone mineral density from calcium supplements were small and that results mirrored the increases seen from dietary sources, suggesting that neither method significantly improves bone health.

Energy Drinks Harm the Heart

I

n addition to alertness, energy drinks may also trigger abnormal heart rhythms and increased blood pressure.

Researchers from the School of Pharmacy at the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California, tested 27 healthy adults. The volunteers were split into three groups—one drank two cans of an energy drink per day, another consumed the same amount of a drink with Panax ginseng and the third a similar-tasting placebo beverage.

The subjects were given cardiovascular testing before and after the trial. After three weeks, the group imbibing the energy drinks had a significant increase in abnormal heart rhythms and higher blood pressure. The ginseng and placebo groups saw no change in their heart conditions.

Sachin A. Shah, a doctor of pharmacy and professor at Pacific’s School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, says, “Our findings suggest that certain energy drinks may increase the risk of having an abnormal heart rhythm when consumed in high volumes. While we wait for more data, some consumers should exercise caution and not blindly follow the buzz.”

The Center for Science in Public Interest, a consumer health advocacy group, has reported that as of June 2014, 34 deaths have been associated with energy drinks.

Colorful Produce Slows Cell Aging

A

new study published in the European Journal of Nutrition finds that an increased intake of carotenoids, powerful antioxidants found in plant-based foods, is associated with slower aging.

The research tested 3,660 U.S. adults and measured blood levels of five common carotenoids: alpha-carotene, betacarotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, combined lutein/zeaxanthin and trans-lycopene.

The researchers found that those with levels that were in the highest quarter had 5 percent to 8 percent longer telomeres compared to those with the lowest quartile of carotenoid levels. Telomeres are located at the ends of DNA chromosomes and get shorter as we age. Longer telomeres indicate greater longevity.

Carotenoids are found in the yellow-to-red pigments in many yellow, red and orange foods. They are also contained in green foods where chlorophyll shields the yellow-red color.

Alpha-carotenes are present in carrots, cantaloupes, mangoes, kale, spinach, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Betacarotene is found in some of the same foods, and also tomatoes, apricots and watermelons. Beta-cryptoxanthin is found in papayas, apples and orange peels. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in some of the same foods, along with kiwifruit, grapes, oranges, zucchini and squash. Some of the highest levels are in corn. Lycopene is in tomatoes, watermelons, papayas, apricots and other red-to-yellow foods.

ADHD Meds Weaken Kids’ Bones

Neurotoxins Identified in Everyday Items

R

esearch published in the British medical journal The Lancet has newly identified six neurotoxins: manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene or PERC) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Manganese exposure is found in welding and high-octane gas fumes, among other sources; fluoride is used in many municipal water supplies, glass etching and chrome cleaners.

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate contained in many pesticides, including Dursban and Lorsban. While DDT has been banned from insecticides within the U.S., it is still contained in other agents, including petroleum distillates. DDT is also still used in some areas to spray for mosquitoes. PERC has often been used in dry cleaning and for degreasing metals. PBDEs appear as flame retardants and to make electronics, household goods, building materials, polyurethane foams, plastics and more.

The same researchers previously identified lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic and toluene as neurotoxins. The neurotoxin label means they affect the nervous system and can cause neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia and others.

new study announced at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shows that drugs prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can weaken bones in children during a time of critical growth. This study tested 5,315 kids between 8 and 17 years old and compared the results to a subgroup of 1,967. Each child was given a bone mineral density scan on the femur, femoral neck and lumbar spine.

The children taking ADHD medications of Ritalin, Focalin, Dexedrine, Strattera and Vyvanese had lower bone mineral density in the femur, femoral neck and lumbar spine. At least 25 percent of the youngsters taking these medications were categorized as having osteopenia.

According to a 2014 Express Scripts study, prescriptions of ADHD medications to children in the U.S. grew by 36 percent between 2008 and 2012.

Osteopathy Alleviates Low Back Pain

M

ore than 600,000 people undergo surgery for back pain every year, yet back surgery is often unsuccessful. Safer manual therapies provide a viable alternative, according to recent research.

A study of 455 people with low back pain found that osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT) helped with their symptoms. The research, published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, gave each patient six osteopathic manual therapy sessions or a placebo treatment over a two-month period. Patients were tested before and a month afterward to assess the success of the treatments, using pain severity and mobility as the main criteria.

The research showed that those that started with higher disability scores of 17 or more prior to therapy had significantly less pain and more mobility. Patients with scores of seven or greater also improved, but not to the same degree.

Lead researcher and Osteopath Dr. John Licciardone says, “Subgrouping patients according to chronic low back pain intensity and function appears to be a simple strategy for identifying patients that can attain substantial improvement with OMT. From a cost and safety perspective, it should be considered before progressing to more costly or invasive interventions.”

Moth Misery

Bright Lights Drive Them to Extinction National Moth Week, held from July 23 to 31 (visit NationalMothWeek.org for podcast), has prompted the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) to encourage cities to install motion-sensitive dimming streetlights and is working to designate dark-sky parks that could provide a refuge for nocturnal species. The giant silk moth and other insects pollinate 80 percent of our food crops. In turn, their bodies sustain innumerable birds, rodents and bats. Entire ecosystems rest on their delicate, powdery wings.

Only two species of moths are protected under the Endangered Species Act, and three others have gone extinct in the past decade. Many populations are seeing declines of up to 99 percent. Between monoculture crops, pesticides, changing climate, urbanization and decreasing darkness due to artificial lighting, the future of night-flying moths is uncertain.

Their only goal is to reproduce, guided to suitable nesting grounds by the shadow of the moon; many moth species do not even have mouths. However, cities now glow brighter than a full moon, and ambient light pollution radiating from urban areas draws moths to their deaths. IDA Program Manager John Barentine says, “Every time a person turns off and shields a porch light on their house, they’re helping.”

GMO-Free Pioneer New Grain Transport to be Contaminant-Free

Large food companies that are switching to non-GMO (genetically modified) soy and corn products must still worry about their ingredients picking up GMO contamination through conventional supply chains.

Now, Captain Drake LLC, a North Dakota grain plant, has acquired its own million-bushel terminal with dedicated rail cars used exclusively for GMO-free grains. President Mark Anderson maintains, “We’ll be able to obtain the best non-GMO commodities from three regions: North Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba, Canada.”

In a 2015 Nielsen study of 30,000 consumers, 43 percent rank non-GMO as very important and 80 percent said they would pay more for foods that indicate a degree of healthfulness. Sales of non-GMO products exceeded $10 billion last year and are growing.

Anderson explains, “The supply chain needs to be tightened up and moved domestically. We consider this to be another strategic asset for food and beverage clients seeking suppliers committed to guaranteeing the integrity and purity of non-GMO commodities.”

Farm-to-Work

Fresh Veggies Come Direct to Offices Pioneering employers are now offering fresh vegetables to help employees improve their diet—and their health. Tech companies are even hiring professional chefs to prepare healthful lunches and snacks. In Texas, the Farm to Work program is making it easy and affordable for workers to pick up baskets of local produce at the office.

Participants aren’t required to pay an initial lump sum or commit to buying every week. Instead, they can sign up to receive produce in any given week. Other groups around the country are also looking into workplace produce delivery programs, and while many use the traditional community supported agriculture (CSA) model, others are experimenting with different procedures.

The Farm Fresh Program, in Bellingham, Washington, connects local farmers to employers interested in receiving weekly deliveries. Meanwhile, Farm2Work, in Arkansas, links local purveyors of produce, meat, eggs, dairy, pies, jams and jellies to area employers. New York’s Adirondack Harvest, a branch of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, started by helping a single farmer link to area employers. The next step, says Teresa Whalen, the group’s southern chapter representative, is working to persuade insurance companies to subsidize workplace CSAs in the same way they’re starting to subsidize gym memberships.

Fish Fried

New Numbers Confirm Global Overfishing The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has been collecting reports for decades on how many fish are caught in the oceans annually. However, those numbers don’t take into account small-scale, recreational and illegal fishing or the bycatch that’s discarded before boats return to harbors. A study published in Nature Communications increases the actual total world catch from 1950 to 2010 by 50 percent.

Daniel Pauly, author of the University of British Columbia study, states, “The world is withdrawing from a joint bank account of fish without knowing what has been withdrawn or the remaining balance. Better estimates for the amount we’re taking out can help ensure there’s enough fish to sustain us in the future.” Based on official counts, global catches peaked in 1996 and have declined modestly each year. The decline isn’t due to less fishing or restrictions on certain fish, though. “It’s due to the countries fishing too much and having exhausted one fish after the other,” says Pauly.

The findings also emphasize the value of fisheries to low-income people in developing countries. The next steps will require well-informed action to preserve this critical resource for people and for the planet.

Toxic Teflon

Scientists Increasingly Find It Dangerous According to a new meta-analysis of previous studies, Philippe Grandjean, of Harvard, and Richard Clapp, of the University of Massachusetts, concluded that DuPont Teflon, used for 50 years to make frictionless cookware, is much more dangerous than previously thought, causing cancer, birth defects and heart disease, and weakening the immune system.

Even though Teflon’s harmful perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is no longer produced or used, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found it in the blood of more than 99 percent of Americans studied, because it can be passed from mother to unborn child in the womb.

The researchers say that the federal government’s recommended “safe” level, set in 2009, is as much as 1,000 times too high to fully protect people’s health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has yet to set a legal allowable limit for its presence in drinking water.

A paper published in Forest Ecosystems concludes that frugivores, large, fruiteating animals like toucans, tapirs, curassows and spider monkeys, help to keep the woods healthy by eating fruits and spreading seeds. As traps for carbon and an effective defense against global warming, forests collectively absorb up to 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions and store more than 1,600 gigatons of carbon in the soil.

“You have a lot of large birds that play a fundamental role for large trees,” says study author Mauro Galetti. “They increase the likelihood that seeds will turn into actual photosynthesizing plants.” However, big, tropical birds are constantly under threat of hunting, poaching and habitat loss; the International Union of Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources’ Red List notes that 14 of the world’s 16 toucan species, for instance, are decreasing in population. The study found that without the help of high-capacity frugivores, there would be no way for larger seeds to grow into the towering trees that store carbon best.

Scientists now want to research individual species to calculate how much each animal’s services are worth in terms of battling climate change. Putting a dollar amount on a species, say Galetti, could be the only way to persuade governments to protect it.

Low-Cost Largesse

Nonprofit Grocery Sells Good Food at Low Prices The biggest challenge to healthy eating in poor neighborhoods isn’t always access to healthy food; it’s whether people can afford to buy it. A year ago, Doug Rauch, former president of Trader Joe’s, opened Daily Table, a nonprofit grocery in Boston, to take action. It gathers nutritious food that would otherwise be wasted and then sells it at low prices. After learning about food insecurity in the U.S. and that approximately 40 percent of the food we grow is thrown out, Rauch decided to address both problems by offering this new option for people that don’t want handouts.

The store now has 5,000 members and hundreds of daily customers, with plans to expand to new locations. “The challenge we have in America is that the food system is designed from the farm on up to create calories that are cheap and nutrients that are expensive,” he says. “People on the lowest economic rung get squeezed the hardest.”

Rauch partners with vendors to get excess food, such as fruit just slightly too ripe to make it through the standard supermarket system, that chefs turn into ready-to-eat meals like prepared salads and soups, or entrées that can cost less than $2.

Sustainable Ways to Enjoy Sand and Surf When eco-conscious families hit the beach this summer, there’s more to be aware of than just picking up trash like drink containers, wrappers and found litter. Here are some other ways we can enhance our beach and water experiences while upping fitness benefits.

Rising water levels and severe weather events have damaged coastlines, so extra care is needed. When setting up a beach spot, stay away from sand dunes and pockets of beach grass that serve as natural defenses against beach erosion. Also watch out for marked-off turtle hatching spots; prime nesting season is May through October, according to the nonprofit Turtle Conservancy.

Teach kids not to chase birds. Walk around shorebirds to cause minimal disturbance; it’s stressful dodging danger during meals and wastes precious energy stores.

Walking on soft sand is like a weight-training workout, as detailed in Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee’s Barefoot Walking book.

Polluting chemicals enter waterways via fertilizer and industry runoff and accidents like the BP Gulf oil spill; don’t contribute more by using sunscreen that contains oxybenzine, which reportedly alters hormone function. The Environmental Working Group (ewg. org) maintains an online guide of safe sunscreens. The Huffington Post also suggests that we can make our own by mixing zinc oxide (a sunblocking agent), coconut oil (soothes and conditions skin), beeswax (for waterproofing) and tea tree oil (soothes and repairs skin and smells good).

The same care applies to chemical hair dyes, shampoos, conditioners and straighteners. Patronize clean, green salons that use natural hair treatments free of synthetic chemicals, ammonia or para-phenylenediamine (PPD). Or search “nontoxic hair care” online.

Plan a visit to coincide with a public volunteer beach cleanup event. Check with national organizations like Keep America Beautiful (kab.org) and local or countywide groups, as well as social media sites for group activities.

REAL NEWS THAT MATTERS Independent Media Tell Us the Truth

by Linda Sechrist

I

n virtually all aspects of life, we are influenced consciously or subconsciously by mainstream media messages. Today, six media giants—Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Viacom and DirecTV—control the vast majority of what we watch on TV and in movies, listen to on the radio and read in books, newspapers and magazines. According to Ben Bagdikian, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of The New Media Monopoly, this handful of conglomerates form a cartel that wields enough influence to affect U.S. politics and define social values.

Thirty years ago, before many mergers and acquisitions, 50 corporations owned nearly all of American media.

Today’s infotainment and rhetoric, misrepresented as news, is leading millions to conclude that these colossal powers do not exist to objectively report the truth.

Mainstream Media’s True Colors

Although a recent Gallup Poll reflects Americans’ lack of trust in mainstream media’s reporting of news fully, fairly and accurately, fair reporting was what HarperCollins, a prominent publisher, 30

expected upon the 2016 release of New York City holistic psychiatrist Dr. Kelly Brogan’s A Mind of Your Own: The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives.

They were shocked when the book was boycotted.

“The New York Times, Dr. Oz and Good Morning America refused to schedule author interviews or write book reviews. There wasn’t a whisper anywhere on mainstream media about my evidenced-based book on how women can holistically recover from depression without a single prescription. HarperCollins was baffled. I was their first credentialed author who spoke out against pharmaceuticals,” says Brogan.

So Brogan turned to independent outlets, including print, online and social media, her own website, newsletter lists and word-of-mouth. Her work soon broke through into three of the top bestselling book lists: USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and The New York Times.

That example serves as clear proof of the importance and power of independent media to furnish the public helpful and in-depth information on wide-ranging topics that mainstream broadcast media

napalmbeach.com

typically only cover in 30- to 60-second blurbs or not at all.

Dr. Mark Hyman, chair of the Institute of Functional Medicine and director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, learned Brogan’s lesson early on. “Independent media have been crucial in disseminating my life’s work.

Given the misinformation being spread by regular news and government channels about weight and health, we deserve to hear the truth about what’s in our food, toxins in our environment and how we can truly heal our bodies,” says Hyman, a nine-time bestselling author.

Independent Voices

Today’s independent media landscape shifts at warp speed. With 24/7 Internet access to websites, both groundbreaking journalism and grassroots perspectives appear in original articles and blogs.

Outlets include independent online radio, TV shows, newspapers, filmmakers and “citizen journalists” armed with smart phones instantly transmitting images and updates via YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. From a growing recognition that such media play a vital role in shaping a more informed and engaged citizenry, more attention is again being paid to the need for real news that matters. Breaking the reign of junk food news generators is the mission of ProjectCensored.org, a media research program at California’s Sonoma State University.

Billions of dollars are spent annually on webinars, podcasts and e-books exploring health and healing, self-help, spiritual enlightenment and creativity, indicating a reading audience with a hunger for deeper wisdom. Since 1973, New Dimensions Radio, co-founded and hosted by Justine Willis Toms, has featured many of the world’s most respected wisdom keepers. “Guests exclaim how refreshing it is to speak in-depth and at length. Mainstream, commercially based media consistently present sound bites on how things are breaking down and not working, without opening thought to constructive visions for a future that benefits all life and the planet,” says Toms.

“Independent media have broken away from dependence on the moneyed interests holding tight reins on the news and information they publish. Because we’re listener-

supported, public radio is free to explore a wide range of timely and timeless topics,” he says.

Leaning away from one-sided views gives independent media space to expand people’s perspectives and positive expectations for the future. The seven-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Christian Science Monitor international news organization was established in Boston over a century ago to till human thought and thereby improve human lives via an uplifted journalistic standard. “Its quiet insistence for human rights and against tyranny; for generosity and against selfishness; for intelligence, charity, courage, integrity and most of all, for progress and hope—surely that has helped,” remarks John Yemma, current columnist and former editor.

“We work to uncover where progress is occurring, even though headlines proclaim the contrary. There are always two sides to a story,” says Susan Hackney, a senior director with the Monitor, which consistently resists the sensational in favor of the meaningful.

Magazines such as Natural Awakenings, Mother Jones, The Optimist and Yes! are likewise stirring up conversations on meaningful issues via larger perspectives with a focus on tangible solutions. They address such areas as the damaging health and environmental effects of genetically engineered food, championed by Jeffrey Smith, founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology.

“Europe could kick genetically modified ingredients (GMO) out of their food supply because their mainstream media covered the health dangers, while U.S. mainstream media ignored them and kept Americans in the dark. Independent media in the U.S. enable democracy and consumer-inspired transformations of all kinds. Knowledge has organizing power,” advises Smith.

Success Stories

With Fran Korten at its helm, the ad-free, subscription-supported, nonprofit Yes! is helping to reframe our biggest issues.

“Mainstream media, dependent upon advertisers that would have us believe that we can buy happiness, celebrate stories of the rich and powerful, leaving everyone else feeling small and powerless. Independents can help resist such

We in America are the best entertained and least informed society in the world. ~Neil Postman, media theorist and educator ways of seeing the world, help people see a different path to success and happiness and perceive themselves as change agents. Together, we share engaging stories of how people are carving out new ways of living that hold the hope of a world more in balance with the living Earth and where everyone’s inherent worth and dignity are recognized,” says Korten.

Allan Savory, founder of the Savory Institute and originator of a holistic land management systems approach to recover and preserve sustainable resources, underscores the need for change leaders and independent thinkers. “As we ponder who they might be, we realize it’s not those that discover new, counterintuitive insights, but those that spread the knowledge. The groundbreakers are pioneers like writers, poets, artists, speakers and social networkers. After 50 years of trying to understand the intense institutional resistance to and ridiculing of my work of managing complexity in a simple manner, holistic management is now quickly spreading globally. This is only due to social networking, independent writers and my TED talk that went viral,” observes Savory.

Laurie McCammon, change leader and author of Enough! How to Liberate Yourself and Remake the World with Just One Word, contracted with independent publisher Red Wheel Weiser to get her message out. “It’s been building awareness of forbidden knowledge—that we each have unrealized potential to affect reality by changing our thoughts. We can nurture a shift in global culture away from an existing way of life that has bred fear, lack and a belief in scarcity,” explains McCammon.

She suggests that to preview a new vision of, “I am enough and have enough,” and, “We are enough and have enough,” we should look to the fertile fringes; small communities of intentional and conscious people actively reinventing

society. “Look at what independent media are reporting on; as well as their unprecedented use of new terms such as organic, wellness, sustainability, permaculture, transition town, sharing economy, social responsibility, biomimicry and the butterfly effect,” says McCammon.

The existing worldview, with all of its core assumptions and rules, aims to restrain awakening individual and collective consciousness. McCammon observes, “As long as the ‘old story’ was told repeatedly by mainstream media with conviction, it could command our attention and make us doubt our inner story. Trusting that the outer world had our own best interests in mind meant that there was no need to turn within.

This is changing. Thanks to farseeing, courageous and strong enough independent media, there’s been an overturning to a more wholesome story of mindbody-spirit, abundance, innovation, collaboration and cooperation.”

Mainstream and independent media coexist like two sides of a coin.

Mainstream media’s talking heads tell us how to act and think while independent media invite us to engage, educate and think for ourselves, dig deeper and take action. Without independent media, we would know little about the benefits of the ever-evolving grassroots movement of holistic, alternative, complementary, integrative and functional medicine. Nor would we know the truth about climate change; the health advantages of plantbased diets and community gardens; food deserts and nutrition-related illnesses; the prevalence of environmental toxins; signs of spiritual progress; alternative education; and the benefits of eco-villages to people and the planet.

Chilling Out Revives Body and Soul

ere’s something to add to our to-do list: nothing.

Americans today work more hours than ever before, foregoing hardearned vacation days and spending more time with electronic devices than with friends and family. The temptation and pressure to do more at the expense of needed rest are great, but failing to take time out to recharge our minds and bodies can have serious consequences, according to experts.

Downtime is most acutely needed in the workplace. In a survey of nearly 20,000 workers, The Energy Project and Harvard Business Review found that 59 percent of them were physically exhausted, emotionally drained, distracted and lacking purpose.

Headquartered in Yonkers, New York, with offices in Europe and Australia, The Energy Project has helped hundreds of businesses, including Fortune 500 companies, create healthier, happier and higherperforming workplaces. The company

32

takes its cues from elite athletes that carefully build rest and recovery periods into their training schedules. “Just as your body needs sleep and food to function optimally, so does your mind and spirit,” says Annie Perrin, an executive vice president with the project.

There’s a mounting body of neurological research to buttress the analogy. Important assimilation of learning and “meaning making” occurs in the resting brain, according to Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Ed.D., associate professor of education, psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and author of Emotions, Learning, and the Brain. When our minds are allowed to wander, they engage a network of interacting brain regions that together are thought to play a key role in building our ability for inward reflection and recollection, known as the default mode network.

Immordino-Yang’s research suggests that such activation during restful moments is positively associated with the recalling of

memories, envisioning the future and even developing a moral foundation.

“This network seems to be more engaged when we aren’t actively gathering information or working on an external goal,” remarks Immordino-Yang. Zoning out on TV or video games doesn’t produce the same brain benefit because, “It’s about looking inward rather than outward,” she says. The default network does engage when introspection occurs during nurturing social interaction, such as while enjoying a reflective conversation with friends or family. She recommends banning technology and other distractions during periods spent in activities that bring joy and meaning so that we are present in a mindful way.

The Energy Project ushers clients through a comprehensive energy audit, using exercises to expose specific personal habits that lead to diminishing returns in both work and play time. In one exercise, workers are asked to rank current incoming emails from one to five, with the highest number equating to, “I

need to respond immediately.” Most rate nearly no fives, says Perrin, a realization that has helped many people change their email habits.

While change can be hard, Perrin suggests creating new, healthy rituals through repetition, which taps into the brain’s desire for automaticity. For example, she advises workers to schedule “renewal breaks” every 90 minutes after completing a block of high-priority tasks.

“If you’ve been sitting, move; if the mind has been active, do something to quiet it, like meditating or simply closing your eyes.” She also suggests finding workers to buddy up with and schedule mutual breaks to help support and hold each other accountable.

Immordino-Yang suggests that another practice to maximize the value of downtime is to combine it with exercise.

“A walk can be rejuvenating,” she says.

“While the body is engaged, the mind is free to wander.”

The Energy Project calls on managers to model these downtime activities

for their employees. Some companies have instituted policies that limit sending email from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., as well as during weekends and vacations, so staffers don’t feel compelled to read and respond to keep up with work.

Setting limits is even more crucial for young people with minds and habits that are especially malleable. “I see teenagers taking their phones into the bathroom or bed to text in the middle of the night. Parents need to put a stop to this,” counsels Immordino-Yang. “The brain needs uninterrupted rest to work at its best.”

Learning that being a productive employee or an emotionally available parent requires giving ourselves a break and gives us permission to rest. We find that downtime is not just good for ourselves, but also for our families and workplaces.

ZEN GOLF Master the Mind to Master the Game

by Aimee Hughes

I

“

remember the moment I had what I call my ‘golf game epiphany,’” recalls Steve Hughes, a passionate golfer from Richmond, Missouri. “I realized that my main obstacles were in my head, and from that day on, my golf game changed.”

In any athletic or fitness endeavor, the pursuit of excellence unfolds an array of challenges. While golf presents some of the toughest hurdles to improvement, any links enthusiast can better their game by acquiring a champion’s mindset. Applying a few Zen techniques and disciplines adapted from the Buddhist tradition of mindful awareness— which teaches that the mind is everything—can work wonders.

Zen Golf master and performance psychologist Joe Parent, Ph.D., of Ojai, California, advises: “The key is finding a way to let the ‘thinking’ mind do all the preliminaries to physical performance— selecting a target, judging the lie, gauging weather influences, etc.—and then letting our ‘intuitive’ mind take over, enabling our body to make a swing that’s free from second-guessing ourselves.”

He calls the optimal playing mentality, “Not too tight, not too loose.” It’s the sweet spot that allows us to perform 34

Palm Beach Edition

via our best self. Some key techniques prepare us to find and reside in this justright Goldilocks place of being not too hot and not too cold.

Developing mental fortitude takes us even further than we can imagine.

Mastery is born from discipline, focused attention and a deep core desire to adopt habits and behaviors that will upgrade our mindset.

Author of Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game, Parent teaches his students to enter a state that he calls “trusting versus trying.” He teaches a “one stroke at a time” approach, which emphasizes awareness of being in the present moment, as many contemplative spiritual traditions do. When the golfer is deeply engaged in the present moment with just the right level of emotional intensity, free of distractions and worries about future swings, they become integrated with what’s taking place on the course in the here and now to the point of total absorption.

In yoga, pranayama, or breathing techniques, are employed to promote relaxation in the mind and body. The Zen approach to golf uses breath work to allow body and mind to make the

napalmbeach.com

most fluid and powerful golf swing possible for the player. “The single factor that sets apart the top performers in any athletic discipline from the rest of us is their state of mind,” says Craig Perkins, a yoga master and founder of the Yandara Yoga Institute, in Baja California, Mexico.

“From all my years of yogic study, there’s one teaching that always sticks with me: If we want to master our game, whether it’s golf, yoga or chess, we must first and foremost master our mind.” Practitioners maintain that, meditation can take our mental game to its optimal level and Perkins believes, “Meditation is the number one practice for cultivating self-trust.”

Positive visualization, which can be supported by meditation, is another method champion golfers leverage to improve their performance levels. Parent teaches his students, “Establish a clear image in your mind’s eye, and the body will follow.” Repeating this technique with every shot helps the golfer cultivate the habit of positive visualization by seeing the results.

Physical prowess is of little consequence if our mental game is off. Under the intense pressure of a golf match, execution suffers when performance anxiety isn’t kept under control. While many golfers have what it takes to succeed—the requisite native ability, experience, technique and talent—mental hang-ups can cause them to call it a day. Detrimental habits can undermine our self-confidence, as well as our score. The solution lies in pinpointing what’s behind them and applying pertinent Zen techniques to either gradually alleviate or winningly work with them.

Hughes, who makes his home overlooking the greens of Shirkey Golf Course, says, “It’s about getting out of your own way. When you’re at one with the game as it presents itself, you know your game will be much better than when your mind is racing off to work issues, family dramas and all the other usual life stuff. When I learned how to establish myself in this present moment awareness, not only did my golf game change for the better, so did the rest of my life.”

ocally grown foods are more likely to have been bred for flavor and nutrition than durability and a long shelf life, says Emily Akins, outreach director for the Kansas City Food Circle, a cooperative that links residents with farmers that grow and raise organic and free-range food. An added benefit is getting to know the farmer and being able to ask the questions—and receive the answers—that are important to us.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports that local food sales totaled $12 billion in 2014, up from $5 billion in 2008. They continue to grow.

Organic or Certified Organic Consumers want to know the difference between organics and certified organics.

Today’s number of U.S. certified organic operations has jumped nearly 300 percent since 2002 to more than 21,700.

Although a certified organic designation might be the preferred index of

napalmbeach.com

how foods are grown and raised, it is not always possible for certain foods in some climates. Sometimes there’s a tradeoff in buying organic foods in the carbon footprint of its transport to market.

According to the Sweetwater Organic Community Farm, in Tampa, Florida, “Organic refers to a specific method of growing and processing foods, and is defined as produce grown, packaged and stored without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or irradiation.”

To be considered certified organic under the Code of Federal Regulations 7 CFR Part 205, products must meet these standards: n No harmful chemicals have been applied to the land for at least three years. n Farmers and processors are inspected annually by a certifying agency. n Farmers and processors must keep detailed records of practices. n Farmers are required to maintain a written organic management plan.

Certified Humane

n Fed a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones.

aged foods from the wild or wild game.

Sources are listed online at EatWild. com. “Few of us will go back to foraging in the wild, but we can learn to forage in our supermarkets, farmers’ markets and from local farmers to select the most nutritious and delicious foods available,” says founder Jo Robinson, in Vashon, Washington, For example, Dave and Sue Whittlesey, at High Wire Ranch, in Hotchkiss, Colorado, raise bison (buffalo) and elk that they sell both through local stores and at the Aspen Saturday Market.

The wild game is 100 percent pasture-fed, non-GMO (no genetically modified feed), gluten-free and not given hormones or any antibiotics unless the animal is sick.

n Provided proper shelter with resting areas and sufficient space.

Trusted Sources

When we buy local cheese, poultry or meat at the farmers’ market, we sometimes see a certified humane notice. One such producer is Baetje Farms, outside St. Louis, Missouri. Their highly regarded goat cheeses offer traceability via a lot number, so buyers can know exactly which milking the cheese came from.

In factory farming, which often involves penning or caging animals that never go outdoors, “certified humane” means that this producer meets Humane Farm Animal Care standards:

n Animals have to ability to behave naturally.

Veronica Baetje says her farm’s goats receive organic mineral supplements and locally grown alfalfa hay in addition to pasture grass every day. She adds, “They are free to choose what they prefer to do, whether skip and run up a hill, lie under the shade of a tree, soak up some sunshine or play with their herd mates.”

Wild Food At times, farmers’ markets will offer for-

The land, climate and growing season dictate the best natural farming practices for each area, often described along with their products on farm and farmers’ market websites.

Wisconsin’s Dane County Farmers’ Market, in Madison, provides detailed descriptions of farm products and agricultural practices so customers can make informed choices. Sometimes, the type of farm makes a difference. “We are intentionally human scale,” says Virginia Goeke, of Sylvan Meadows Farm, in Viroqua, Wisconsin. “We choose to hus-

band our land to promote harmony and synergy. We are creating a sustainable farm ecosystem where herbal meadows, prairies, heirloom gardens, orchards, woodlands, and rare breeds of livestock and wildlife flourish.”

Sometimes, we’d just like someone else to do the food curating for us. The Kansas City Food Circle requires member farmers to take a pledge to follow certain agricultural practices. “When you buy food from our members, you can rely on the co-op’s pledge that it’s been certified naturally grown or that the farmer has USDA Organic certification,” says Akins.

Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, the joint effort of 100 small-scale family farms providing fresh, organic, seasonal produce, in Leola, Pennsylvania, gives similar assurances.

The USDA reports that 160,000 farmers nationwide are currently selling to their local markets via farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture organizations, restaurants, groceries and institutions, generating health, social, economic and environmental benefits for local communities. It keeps growing because we keep asking questions.

Judith Fertig blogs at AlfrescoFood AndLifestyle.blogspot.com.

Healthy Foods Lexicon Grass-fed—Beef or milk cows fed on grass. The benefit is leaner, betterflavored meat and more omega-3s, plus fuller flavors in milk, butter and other dairy products.

Heirloom—Older, non-hybrid varieties of produce, including fruit trees, herbs and vegetables.

Pastured—Livestock raised on pastures instead of factory farms.

Traceability—Precise tracking by a farmer that informs the consumer of which chicken hatched a specific clutch of eggs, which farm grew a cantaloupe and which mill boiled down and bottled the sorghum syrup.

Foraged—Native foods gathered from the wild, rather than cultivated. Examples: wild mushrooms, fiddlehead ferns, mulberries, native pecans, black walnuts and native persimmons.

Heritage breeds—Ancestral breeds of poultry and livestock that often take longer to reach market weight, but have more flavor.

Wild-caught—Fish that live and are caught in open lakes, streams or oceans.

Free range—Poultry raised outdoors where they are free to range over natural vegetation.

Local—Grown or raised within a threehour driving radius of the consumer’s purchase site.

or many actresses, landing a role on the hit show Passions would be a career highlight. For Liza Huber, daughter of soap opera icon Susan Lucci, a successful acting career was one step en route to her calling as a mother, public speaker and entrepreneur. Her inspiration was to launch Sage Spoonfuls (SageSpoonfuls.com) to make it easier for parents to make homemade, organic food for their little ones. It’s all about enabling parents to provide a legacy of health, all wrapped up in love.

How did becoming a parent boost your relationship with organic foods and health?

I was raised on a diet of mostly fresh, homemade, food and knew it was something I wanted for my own children. At that point, I knew the basics; that it was healthier and tasted better than storebought baby food. The more I learned, the more I became fascinated by how 38

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

switching to an organic diet positively affects our health.

Why is it vital to introduce organic food during a youngster’s early development?

America’s food supply is loaded with more chemicals and GMOs [genetically modified organisms] than ever before.

I believe, as many others do, that the rapid rise of food allergies in children is a direct result. Many chemical pesticides and artificial flavors and colors are known to contain carcinogens, suspected hormone disruptors and neurotoxins. It is widely believed that even small doses of these common pesticides can have lasting negative effects on a child’s health. I believe that teaching our kids about the importance of fresh, organic food and the potential dangers of a conventionally processed diet helps set the stage for a lifetime of healthy choices.

How do homemade organics and packaged organics differ?

Store-bought baby food, organic or not, is processed to have a long shelf life of up to two years. So much of the nutrient content is lost during processing that most manufacturers artificially add it back in, but aren’t obligated to inform consumers. The added nutrients are synthetic and aren’t absorbed by the body the same way as naturally occurring nutrients.

The taste, color and aroma of commercial baby food isn’t as appealing. By feeding your baby a steady tasty diet of fresh, homemade, organic baby food, you greatly reduce the risk they’ll grow into a picky eater. Plus, making your own baby food is three to five times less expensive than what is store-bought.

Homemade food has a far smaller impact on the environment compared with commercial manufacturing, transportation and packaging. By the time a baby turns 1, they will have eaten from nearly 700 jars or pouches of storebought baby food that generally end up in landfills, because little is recycled.

Which favorite foods do you love to make for your babies and why?

I focus on whole foods. Great first foods include bananas, apples, butternut squash, pears, avocados, peas and sweet potatoes. Once a baby has successfully tried a couple of these, start mixing them together. Banana and avocado, apple and butternut squash, and peas and sweet potato are good combos. They’re loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, easy to make and yummy. Avocados’ healthy fat is also essential to brain development.

What key lessons learned from your mother have you carried forward with your young family?

Two lessons really stick with me: “Stay open and leave room for life to surprise you,” and “You can have it all… just not all at the same time.” In my teens and 20s, I was a meticulous planner, disappointed if things didn’t go exactly as I wanted. Amazing things happened after taking Mom’s advice to leave myself

open to wonder.

Growing up, I saw my mom have an amazing career, yet also be a fantastic wife and mother. Her secret, and now mine, is to prioritize and focus on one thing at a time, whether it’s work, kids or my husband. This way, everything in your life gets 100 percent of your attention some of the time, rather than trying to do everything at the same time, which rarely works.

What’s the best gift a mother can give her child?

There’s nothing more important to a child’s overall health and well-being than being raised in a loving, warm environment where they feel safe, loved and important. My deep love for my children guides every decision I make for them.

A mother’s intuition is a superpower.

I praise loudly.

I blame softly.

You realize you’ve been training for this since birth. Even the gritty things, the disappointments, regrets and screwups have all been preparation. Major life disruptions and failures were all just teaching essential lessons so that you can become who you’re called to be.

You sense ease. In the face of obstacles—such as doors of suspected opportunity that are shut tight or relentless struggles impeding a course you thought was right—it can be hard to tell if your commitment is just being tested or you’ve veered off course. Such hurdles can be part of the growth process cultivating your “inner hero” necessary for the journey. Trust the sense of movement towards ease, which likely will include supportive synchronicities.

Your health may improve. Cravings for unhealthy foods will lessen and you’ll feel more energetic. Old aches and pains might disappear; even chronic illness can fade when you’re focused on your life purpose.

You feel strangely peaceful, despite reasons to be anxious. Your soul longs to express what you’re on Earth to express, and when you finally rise into alignment with your calling, your soul does a happy dance. Even if everything else seems to be falling apart and others consider you crazy, you’ll be centered in peace, relieved that you finally know what you’re called to do.

The universe rolls out the red carpet. When called to do what is needed for the highest good of all beings, the universe bends over backwards to hand you whatever you need. No request is too small. Unexpected money flows in and other resources appear just as you’re ready to give up. You’ll know you’re on track, even if it is not quite clear what you’re on track to do.

People find you. Few can fulfill a calling alone. Most of us need a tribe to lift us up as we do brave, scary, worldchanging things.

Mom’s Kitchen Counter Cooking School Kids That Learn to Cook Grow Up Eating Healthier

by Jen Haugen

nvision walking the supermarket aisles and picking up a favorite pasta sauce and breakfast cereal, then adding favorite fruits and vegetables to the cart. When we think about the grocery brands we buy or our go-to recipes, they tend to begin with one common thread—the influence of our mothers—our first teachers about food and cooking.

In their Project EAT study, University of Minnesota researchers found that Mom has the biggest impact on the family’s eating habits and continues to play a significant role in our food choices, brands and how we cook, even influencing our ideas about health itself by their example.

Cooking Together

Most of us learn about cooking from our mothers, and one way moms have a tremendous impact on their children is by collaborating on recipes and cooking meals together. The idea of an at-home “kitchen counter cooking school” 42

Palm Beach Edition

doesn’t focus on a hard and fast course on cooking; instead, it’s a place where family members gather around the counter and cook together. This almost guarantees that meals will be healthier and more fun, affording a sense of ongoing adventure where kids can explore ingredients from around the U.S. and even the world. Consider creating a “United States of My Plate” project by preparing a recipe from each state during the summer, and then rating the recipes based on taste and flavor (startup tools are at ChooseMyPlate.gov).

Our senses are engaged during food preparation activities. While chopping red peppers for a recipe, we are noting their appearance, feeling their texture, smelling their fragrance, hearing the sounds of preparation and likely tasting some on the spot. Involving more of our senses as we explore our food makes the whole activity more enticing. It helps to adopt Julia Child’s motto: “Learn how to cook, try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless

napalmbeach.com

The freshest ingredients come from our own gardens and produce the most delicious meals. Gardening as a family can change the way everyone looks at food through the simple act of planting, growing and harvesting. Knowing where everything on the plate comes from makes us more mindful of the energy it takes to grow food, and kids will naturally eat what they help grow.

Moms can change the world—right in their own yard or patio—with the power of a traditional or urban garden.

Just one square foot of organic gardening space can yield half a pound of fresh fruits and vegetables. A 300-square-foot garden can produce 150 pounds each summer; plus it provides a good workout.

In 2011, I started a teaching garden at our local supermarket as a means of showing kids how to grow their own food, with the hope that it would also inspire their families. The goal was to plant the seeds for healthier habits that would last a lifetime. During its first four years, 52 percent of the students’ parents noted a more positive attitude about fruits and vegetables exhibited by their own children. After participating in the program, one mother shared her young daughter’s noteworthy query, “Mom, could you go to the store and get me some Swiss chard?”

By planting gardens and creating kitchen counter cooking schools at home throughout America, our country could become victorious in ensuring that families are healthier. They will be eating healthier foods, working out in the garden and learning about food in a whole new way, all while connecting in a family activity.

Jen Haugen, a registered and licensed dietitian and certified master gardener, is the author of The Mom’s Guide to a Nourishing Garden. She blogs at JenHaugen.com.

Voices of Experience Tips from Registered Dietitian Moms “It’s not going to be a Norman Rockwell-like experience.

It’s going to be messy, and everything associated with it might take 10 times longer than anticipated. It’s not about the outcome, it’s about the journey.

“Allow your children to participate in the cooking process by giving them age-appropriate duties in the kitchen. We’re talking about rinsing produce in the colander, ‘looking’ at cookbooks, stirring, scooping, squeezing and setting the table. As they grow older, give them more to do.” ~Robin Plotkin, Dallas “Every other Wednesday, each child had to cook dinner. I gave them a piece of paper with fill-in-the-blanks. Every Sunday, they had to turn in their menu so I could go grocery shopping. Now, both my kids cook really healthy meals.” ~Chere Bork, near Minneapolis-St. Paul “Have kids look through kid-friendly cookbooks and scroll through their favorite recipe app. My girls regularly pick out recipes they would like to try for our next meal.” ~Suzanne Farrell, Denver “Giving them choices makes them feel like they’re contributing, and lets them put their own twist on a recipe.” ~Naomi May, Charleston, South Carolina “Teaching someone else solidifies your own knowledge; I knew if her brothers taught my 8-year-old daughter, it would boost their own confidence, too. I always start by teaching about some food they are excited to make on their own. Then I start asking them to help with meal prep. Pretty soon, they have an arsenal of skills and can prepare a meal by themselves.” ~Niki Strealy, Portland, Oregon “Let your kids experiment in the kitchen. My first couple dozen creations didn’t taste good, but I eventually developed a sense of what did and didn’t work. Giving this freedom nurtures a sense of creativity in the kitchen. It’s much easier when spatulas and rolling pins are child-size, like those at CuriousChef.com.” ~Amy Gorin, near New York City “We watch videos together that demonstrate proper techniques.

Everyone is designated an ‘official taste tester’.” ~ Jillian O’Neil, New York City Primary Source: Adapted from JenHaugen.com.

ore women are becoming farmers, bringing with them a passion for producing organic and sustainably raised fare and transforming America’s food system. The U.S. Census of Agriculture reports that their numbers rose by more than 20 percent between 2002 and 2012, to 288,264.

Historic Roots

“Women have played an integral role in farming for centuries, but in the last 100 years they’ve started to self-organize and be recognized for their important work,” says University of California garden historian Rose Hayden-Smith, Ph.D., author of Sowing the Seeds of Victory: American Gardening Programs of World War I and editor of the UC Food Observer. “During that war, the Women’s Land Army of America, a female-led initiative, recruited nearly 20,000 mostly middle-class urban and suburban women to enter the agricultural sector as wage laborers at farms, dairies and canneries, often in rural areas, where farmers urgently needed help while

the male labor force was off fighting.”

Women also helped feed Americans during the Victory Garden era of World War II. “It’s also estimated that more than 40 percent of fruits and vegetables consumed on the American home front then were grown in school, home, community and workplace gardens,” says HaydenSmith, possibly resulting in America’s highest period of produce consumption ever.

When the commercial organic industry launched in the 1990s, women organized to provide overlooked and undervalued perspectives. The wake-up call for Denise O’Brien, an organic vegetable farmer and owner of Rolling Hills Acres, near Atlantic, Iowa, came during the farm economic crisis of the preceding decade.

Although still considered “just” farm wives, “It was the women on the farms that had foreseen where things were heading, because they often kept the accounting books, though nobody took their voices seriously,” O’Brien recalls.

This launched O’Brien’s agriculture activism: balancing farming, raising chil-

Innovation, independence and vision drive women to use their organic farm ventures to create a livelihood, express themselves and do their part to change how America eats. dren and serving as a national advocate and spokeswoman for women in agriculture in an ecological and just food system. In 1997, she launched the Women, Food and Ag Network to collectively advocate for a stronger voice.

“Throughout history, women in agriculture have been relegated to providing assistance, rather than making decisions,” O’Brien explains. “It’s up to us as women to collaboratively support each other while challenging the system.”

Cultivating Change

For her 50th birthday, Paula Foreman gave her life a new chapter. She launched her midlife “second act” in 2007 with Encore Farm, a name that serves as a rallying mantra for her peers. “The name is a tribute declaring that fresh starts and new beginnings can happen at any age,” explains Foreman, now an urban farmer in St. Paul, Minnesota. Embodying this business moxie, she chose to specialize, producing one thing very well: organic dried beans.

Relinda Walker, of Walker Organic Farms, outside Savannah, Georgia, represents a cadre of “boomerang” farmers; women that return to the land to continue a family farm with a commitment to organics. Like many farm kids, after college, Walker left to pursue a corporate career in the city. Then the 9/11 terror attack shifted her priorities. “All roads led me to coming back home and growing food,” she says. Launched in 2005, Walker’s farm was one of southern Georgia’s first organic operations, yielding specialty varieties like rainbow carrots in vivid shades of purple, orange and red.

Future Femme Power

Young women in their 20s and 30s are adding energy, diversity, vibrancy and fresh outlooks to the female farming movement. Lindsey Morris Carpenter runs Grassroots Farm, in Monroe, Wisconsin, a diversified operation of certified organic vegetables and pastured livestock, in partnership with her mother, Gail Carpenter.

“A crucial key to farming happiness is being a good neighbor,” she shares. “I call around when I see livestock and pets outside of fences; maintain my fences; share my garlic and potato seed; and always invite neighbors to parties and events, even though they may not attend. Even if others’ personal lifestyle and farming philosophies are radical opposites, we still have our physical location and appreciation of nature in common, and that’s big.”

“The women farmer movement is just a toddler,” sums up O’Brien. “We’ve come a long way, but we’re not there yet, especially with representation on the national leadership platform.” It’s easy to support female growers at local farmers’ markets. Cultivating change can be rewarding—and tasty.

Lisa Kivirist is the author of the new book Soil Sisters: A Toolkit for Women Farmers and a senior fellow at the University of Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture. Her family runs the energy-independent Inn Serendipity Farm and B&B, in southwestern Wisconsin.

“Obesity is the number one nutritional disease affecting our pets, so summertime activities that avoid overheating are vital for overall health,” says Veterinarian Jeff Werber, a veterinary medical journalist with a Los Angeles practice. “Proper nutrition is critical—not only to the foods we feed, but to the treats we give.”

Twelve years ago, Rick Woodford’s Belgian Malinois/Labrador mix, Jackson, was diagnosed with lymphoma. In order to keep him eating, Woodford shared his own food. Jackson lived an additional four years, in part due to improved nutrition. “Portion control is important,” he says. “What’s right for an 80-pound dog is way too much for a 30-pounder.” Woodford, the author of Feed Your Best Friend Better and Chow, lives near Portland, Oregon.

Frosty Paws is a lower lactose version of ice cream for dogs and discriminating cats. Recipes for homemade versions can be found online. The basics are one ripe, mashed banana, 32 ounces of plain or vanilla yogurt and two tablespoons of honey, all mixed in a blender and frozen in small ice cube trays. Variations may substitute goat’s milk yogurt or add a quarter-cup of strawberries, cranberries or blueberries for antioxidants in lieu of the honey. Frozen vegetable broth, primed with added bits of cooked chopped spinach, broccoli, carrots or a small cheese cube, is a hit with dogs.

Cats like theirs with tidbits of chicken, turkey or a few shreds of cheese.

Using a bone-shaped ice cube tray lets humans know it’s the pet’s treat.

“When I was developing frozen treat recipes, my husband came in from the yard one hot afternoon and went straight to the freezer,” says Paris Permenter about John Bigley, co-authors of The Healthy Hound Cookbook, in Cedar Park, Texas, who live with mixed breeds Irie and Tiki. “I watched him eat two helpings of the dog ice cream and then told him what it was. We often share our food with our dogs. It was nice for them to share their goodies with us!”

The bottom line for the best summertime treats is to go healthy, be creative, use fresh ingredients, don’t overindulge and stay cool.

FOODS THAT HELP REDUCE

Cardiovascular Disease

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

C

holesterol levels that are too high are a risk factor for developing blockage of your arteries. We are all familiar with the image of “blocked pipes”. Our arteries begin to get lined with fats and various cellular elements beginning in our childhood, depending on our diet, exercise, lifestyle, certain diseases, and genetics. This eventually leads to narrowing of the “pipelines”, and can even block them off totally. Since every cell in our body needs the oxygen and nutrients supplied by blood, depriving any part of our body of blood results in cell death. The bigger the area blocked off, the larger the area that dies. This can happen anywhere in our body, and it is called an infarction. The terms used in the heart are myocardial infarction and in the brain it’s called a stroke.

You can’t feel hardening of the arteries. It’s a silent disease.

Some diseases predispose or accelerate the process, diabetes being the most common. Obesity and aging are also risk factors. I’ve seen patients in surgery and xrays of patients where their major arteries were as dense and hard as bone. And all this is getting more and more common, resulting in more and more morbidity and mortality (sickness and death). The cost to human life, and the social, economic, political, and medical costs and repercussions are enormous, very real, and upon us now.

There are several types of cholesterol, the most common ones most of us are familiar with. We usually measure total cholesterol, HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, the good one), LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol, the bad one), and triglycerides or VLDL-C (very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, also bad ones). What makes them good or bad is: the LDL-C (bad) and VLDL-C (bad) get deposited in the arteries and clog them up, while the HDL-C (good) takes away the bad cholesterol to be processed and eliminated. This article will comment on the research done to lower the bad LDL-C and the risk of coronary artery disease.

When you go to the doctor and your blood is measured and found to be high in cholesterol and you have any of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, the first steps are to evaluate 48

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

and change your diet, as well as lifestyle and exercise. Good and extensive research of dietary measures to reduce LDL-C (and your risk factors) has been shown to be much more effective than once believed. Here are the results published by the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults:

LDL-C REDUCTION BY DIET Diet

Dietary change

LDL-C reduction

Saturated fat

< 7% of calories

8%-10%

Dietary cholesterol

< 200 mg/day

3%-5%

Weight reduction

Lose 10 pounds

5%-8%

Viscous fiber

5-10 g/day

3%-5%

Plant sterol/stanol esters 2 g/day

6%-16%

Cumulative estimate

20%-30%

I hope that last line made an impression on you: that if you can do those five easy modifications, you can lower your LDL-C by 20%-30%! Let’s talk about some of these.

SOLUBLE FIBER: is called “soluble” or “viscous” because of

the water-soluble (ability to dissolve in water) properties of nondigestible carbohydrates. Soluble fiber lowers LDL-C by affecting the liver’s processing of cholesterol. Recommended amount per day is 25-30 grams. I will devote next month’s entire article on fiber, its’ effects, and compare the many types.

PLANT STANOLS AND STEROLS: these are biochemicals

from plants which are added to margarine, mayonnaise, and in olive oil. These lower LDL-C by decreasing the number of LDL-C particles in the blood.

NUTS: even though nuts are high in fats and calories, they

do reduce LDL-C levels by 4%-12%. Almonds, walnuts, and macadamia nuts all have a very good reputation for lowering cholesterol and lowering the ability of cholesterol to stick to your arteries. As an example: eating about 73 grams of almonds every day for a month reduced LDL-C by almost 10%. Yes, that’s a lot of almonds. Macadamia nuts have also been extensively written about lately, too.

SOY PROTEIN: a diet of at least 16 grams of soy protein per

day (with the addition of plant sterols, fiber, and nuts) resulted in a 35% reduction of LDL-C after just 4 weeks. It seems as though a lot of the soy studies are done in the context of a vegetarian diet. And it’s a fact: eating a low-fat vegetarian diet effectively reduces cholesterol, weight, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk factors. It’s cheaper, easier, and more healthy than an animal diet or taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. Yes, I’m a vegetarian.

Healthy and happy.

CHOCOLATE AND GREEN TEA: yes, these are being

investigated for their antioxidant and cholesterol lowering properties! I’ll let you know the evidence as it comes to us in the future. Chocolate and green tea are both fascinating subjects.

TO SUM IT ALL UP: your diet, lifestyle, and exercise all affect your health, body, mind, and soul. Eat right, live right, and do it all with love. You affect yourself, your family and friends, your environment and the whole planet.

kin cancer is sometimes more than meets the eye. Deception is common.

The questions and answers that follow are designed to raise awareness about its complexity and provide only a glimpse into this diverse subject.

Your answers can include more than one choice.

QUESTION

Which of the following has been shown to decrease the development of cutaneous basal and squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses? a. Paleo diet b. Atkins diet c. low salt diet d. low fat diet

ANSWER: D

Animal and human studies have demonstrated that a high fat diet could promote the development of ultraviolet radiationinduced skin cancer. In contrast, a low fat diet has been shown to decrease the rate of skin cancer development. One caveat is that the type of fat consumed was not specified in this study. Since the subjects were on a standard American diet (SAD), one can assume it consisted predominantly 50

of the unhealthy variety. Whether healthy fats obtained from foods such as nuts, seeds, avocados and extra virgin olive oil would have a similar effect is unknown.

QUESTION

Which of the following can be the presenting color of a melanoma? a. black b. brown c. red d. white e. grey

ANSWER: A, B, C, D, E

Melanoma is typically thought of as dark black or brown spot or bump on the skin due to the abundance of pigment known as melanin in the cancer cells and surrounding tissue. Amelanotic melanoma is type of melanoma in which this pigment is not present in sufficient quantities to give it its usual dark color. Amelanotic melanomas can be red or even the same color as normal skin. While the ABCDEs, which stand for asymmetry, (irregular) borders, (multiple) colors, diameter (>6mm), evolution (changing lesion) are quite useful for diagnosing melanoma (as well as other skin cancers), some or all of these criteria

napalmbeach.com

ANSWER: B - FALSE

There are numerous forms of basal cell carcinoma based on what is seen visually when examining a patient and based on what the pathologist sees under the microscope. A common type of basal cell carcinoma is the nodular type. When present below the neck, nodular basal cell carcinomas can be treated by a method known as curettage. This method involves scraping the tumor out and has a high success rate because the typical basal cell carcinoma is softer than the surrounding normal tissue. This method is frequently replaced by surgical excision on the face because of cosmetic concerns or because of proximity to vital structures such as the eyes or nose.

Another type of basal cell carcinoma is the pigmented type. The typical basal cell carcinoma has a pearly appearance and may have a red tinge. Pigmented basal cell carcinomas can be brown, grey or black and simulate a benign mole or a melanoma.

Two types of basal cell carcinoma which do better if surgically excised rather than scraped out are the infiltrating basal cell carcinoma and the fibrosing or morpheaform basal cell carcinoma. Both have ill defined margins and in the latter type the tumor is admixed with scar tissue and is not amenable to treatment with the scraping method. Both types require excision and evaluation by a pathologist or specially trained dermatologic surgeon to check that the margins are clear of cancer.

Finally, it is not uncommon for more than one of these patterns to be present in one lesion. That is one reason I have a microscope in my office and look at each biopsy before deciding on the most appropriate course of treatment.

Merkel cell carcinoma, also referred to as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, is believed to arise from cells of the same name which are located in the lower layers of the epidermis and of the hair follicles. Merkel cells may function to sense physical stimuli. Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare skin cancer with an incidence of about 2,000 cases per year in the US, but this number is on the rise. Merkel cell carcinoma will prove fatal in roughly 1/3 of patients. Merkel cell carcinoma is also the most difficult skin cancer to diagnose as it can simulate a benign lesion or one of the much less aggressive skin cancers.

For me, this is the prototypical “wolf in sheep’s clothing”.

QUESTION

Increased intake of which of the following are associated with reduced risk for basal cell carcinoma in humans? a. coffee b. tea c. vitamin E d. vitamin C

ANSWER: A AND B

Coffee and tea intake, including in some instances the decaffeinated varieties, have been associated with numerous health benefits. A recent study concluded that coffee and tea also provide a modest protective effect in relation to development of basal cell carcinoma, but only if they are of the caffeinated variety. It should be kept in mind that in certain individuals, caffeine consumption can be associated with significant detrimental effects on one’s health.

Vitamin E and C-rich fruit are positively associated with less dermal elastosis and cutaneous aging but have not definitively shown to prevent skin cancer in humans.

The list of botanicals which have shown ef-

fectiveness in laboratory studies, however, is long and impressive.

The take home message is to keep an eye out for that ugly duckling, get regular skin exams and enjoy your morning cup of Joe (minus the sweeteners and creamers).

Every Day Can Be A Day Without Pain!

Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus

A

cute pain from an accident, burn or insect bite may cramp your style at the family picnic, but the kind of pain that recurs every day and every night can make us miss out on the best times of our lives. Lost opportunities like playing with our children and grandchildren, participating in sports and other healthy activities like dancing do not give you a second chance for fun. Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus relieves pain, strains and sprains while substantially reducing recovery time.

Unique Ingredients are How it Works Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus works by penetrating deep into skin and muscle tissue. Key ingredients include certified, refined emu oil, whole leaf aloe vera, MSM glucosamine and chondroitin, in a proprietary blend of essential oils, Oriental herbs, botanical extracts and complex vitamins/antioxidants.

MSM acts as an analgesic and antiinflammator y agent, inhibits muscle spasm and increases blood flow while aloe vera, the only known vegetable source of vitamin B12, Emu oil allows the other ingredients to immediately begin to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling.

Emu oil, an allnatural food byproduct that contains high levels of linoleic acid, known to relieve arthritic pain, is obtained from the fat of the flightless emu bird, and a series of processes refine, sterilize and deodorize it. But not all emu oil sold is of the quality used in Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus; some is simply rendered, using added ingredients that pollute the natural oil. As an added benefit, emu oil increases skin layer thickness by up to 56 percent, decreasing wrinkles and age spots.

Follow the Directions For optimum relief, apply a generous amount of Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus directly onto the area of pain or discomfort, allowing it to be absorbed for two to three minutes. Don’t wipe away any that is not absorbed; massage it into the surrounding areas, and use it as often as needed— there are no side effects!

Using Natural Awakenings Topical Pain Relief Plus three times daily is ideal—depending on your level of pain—when you wake up, at mid-day or after work and just before bedtime.

Regular use will continue to alleviate pain and help keep it from returning as often or as intensely.
