newsbriefs The Jamar Enlightenment Center Presents: Nassim Haramein’s work in the movie, “The Black Whole”

A

n Interview with The Light Rev. Jeffrey Colebrook, a Delegate from The Resonance Project, about the upcoming viewing of Nassim Haramein’s work in the movie, “The Black Whole”. at the Jamar Enlightenment Center on May 2nd at 6:30 PM.

Interviewer: What do you feel is the significance of the information that will be seen in the movie, “The Black Whole”, from the Resonance Project?

Jeffrey: It represents not only the biggest

philosophical shift in science but has just as profound philosophic change for humanity. Space, as it turns out, is not what separates us and all things, it is what connects everyone and everything.

Interviewer: What is your mission in showing the movie?

Jeffrey: To bring about a more enlight-

ened understanding of the merging of science and religion or more specifically the unification of Unified Theory with our

spiritual concepts of unity. The mission is to foster a movement of both towards the realization that we are all connected; as the Mystics have taught and Unified Science now confirms.

Interviewer: How then does this affect our understanding of reality?

Jeffrey: To the true Mystic not much, but

no matter how well we perceive our oneness we live in a human group consciousness that has had a science and some religions based on separation. Science created non-existing isolated systems, made up non-existing dimensions and in a non-holistic view of nature made up the laws of nature, their science which turned out to be incomplete. You really miss a lot when you do this. Religion in many cases separated themselves from God placing the deity outside and separate from self. The Science of Unified Physics proves once and for all conclusively we are connected, we are one and here is the math and the award winning physics to show how.

Interviewer: What are the philosophical changes that are accruing?

Jeffrey: It is like everything is being turned

upside down-inside out as the revelations about the impact of Unified Science are being felt. Holistic thinking is entering all areas of our thinking, especially the healing arts.

All areas of spiritual interest, like prayer for example, were dismissed by the scientific community because their model could not explain how it worked yet we know it does work. This is only one of countless examples

of truths that were faith based that were dismissed only because our science model had no explanation. As it turns out, standard scientific model cannot explain WHAT MAKES the world go around. If you want to know what makes the world go around come see the movie. It was inevitable that a scientific model would emerge that could explain all the natural phenomena everyone observed through faith. Faith based truths are just truths we did not have the science for yet.

Interviewer: In what way does Unified Theory support religious thinking?

Jeffrey: Standard model thinking cannot

deal with infinity. Our Unified Theory demonstrates how infinity and finite structures are compatible. The results are Unified Science proves Omnipresence (singularity everywhere), God is everywhere; Omniscience (an interconnected entanglement of everything in feedback loop), God is all knowing; Omnipotence (infinite energy at every point in space), God is all powerful.

Another example deals with evolution. The famous metaphysical writer Ernest Holmes in Science of Mind says “Evolution is a principle which, through invisible, finds manifestation in every form of life. It is the logical or necessary outcome of Universal Intelligence of spirit: but evolution is an effect of Intelligence and not its cause.” Unified Science provides the mathematical feedback loop to explain. It is quite absurd when you think about it; the complexity of life could be the result of random occurrences. There needs to be a feedback mechanism ongoing.

Even more important is to know we are active participants in our own evolution. We are in a constant loop with Creator.

Interviewer: Does this mean that we are at the end of the road for understanding the nature of reality?

Jeffrey: Absolutely not, it just means we

have a better model to proceed with. We are better able to explain some of the quantum weirdness that had heads spinning.

There are countless examples of science, good science, that have been ignored because we did not have a basic physics model that would allow scientists to see it.

If one sighing of a UFO or, one crop circle is for real, or one example of physic phenomena, or one inconsistency of ancient history is real we have to rethink everything.

Tao Healing Miracles™

with Master Francisco Quintero Divine Channel and Worldwide Representative of Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha

Interviewer: What can you say about the future impact of this Science?

Jeffrey: The Theory allows for the develop-

ment of amazing technology, Free Energy, being able to travel in the universe like those humans that come to check up on us from the stars. But the future is up to us, we are in a co-creative information loop with the Whole. Can the planet of the Apes successfully evolve the wisdom and intelligence to join the cosmic community will be up to YOU.

Interviewer: Any last advice?

Jeffrey: Yes. Preregister as soon as possible

with the Jamar Enlightenment Center for what is sure to be a sold out event. After the viewing there will be comments by Spiritual Leaders and Delegates from the Resonance Academy. Please check Jamarcenter.com for updates of special guests and to register or call 561.630.2280.

Interviewer: What makes this theory the first successful Unified Theory in Science?

My heartfelt thanks to the Jamar Center for making this HISTORIC EVENT possible and to all community leaders participating.

Jeffrey: What makes this the winner to the

finish line in the race to unification is it is the only theory with a mathematical solution to both reduce to TWO forces, electromagnetic and gravity, and resolve the incompatibility between relativistic physics and quantum mechanics, the big and the small. Basically, this savant physicist, Nazism Harming, finished what Einstein was searching for, a solution to quantum mechanics using relativistic physics.

verything is energy including our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.

All energy vibrates, is sent out and returns to us... and therefore, the creation of personal reality. The law of attraction vibe includes all those energies as well as belief systems that are unconsciously running in the background of our consciousness.

Imagination and self-awareness are the keys to unlocking a happy and healthy life. Building a strong sense of self through self-confidence is key to remembering your contract with the Divine.

Recognize and remember that energy flows back to you, offering wisdom, knowledge, and sage advice for daily use.

You can tap into this field of support. It is available to everyone. It is time to awaken your consciousness fully and focus on love for yourself and all beings.

Margaret Ann Lembo certainly continues to provide the tools to help you maintain your awareness on what you really want in your life while assisting in the release of what you don’t want. The tools range from her books, Chakra Awakening (now in five languages!) and The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals and Stones, to name a few of her published works... to her AromaEnergetic™ Sprays and now her Chakra Awakening Jewelry™ line.

Whether you are choosing a gemstone you find at her store, The Crystal Garden established in 1988, or her jewelry, Margaret Ann recommends you match an affirmation or intention with your spiritual tool. Yes – the color of your clothes, the gemstone jewelry, aromas and so on are spiritual tools for

awakening when you match an intention or affirmation for the day, week, or month.

Allow Divine Guidance to help you uncover self-knowledge and self-realization for the purpose of personal development and spiritual awakening. Use her newest jewelry with that intention and let the Feather pendant and earrings and Angel Wing pendant help you to soar to your fullest potential and fulfill your soul contract. Margaret Ann has more Chakra Awakening jewelry styles on the way so stay tuned. Her next seven pieces will be revealed this summer!

Affirm! My imagination is the key to my success. I envision my future and joyfully participate as it unfolds. I am focused. I see, sense, feel, and know the truth. I follow my intuition.

Margaret Ann Lembo is the author of Chakra Awakening; The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals and Stones; the Angel Gemstone Oracle Cards and Color Your Life with Crystals and seven spoken audio CDs. She is the creator of a line of award winning Aroma-Energetic Sprays including Smudge in Spray™ and the seven Chakra Sprays. She is a spiritual entrepreneur and practitioner, aromatherapist, and the owner of The Crystal Garden — a book store, gift store, and spiritual center in southeast Florida.

newsbriefs ZIP-100 - Fresh Frozen Spirulina

A

lgaGen, the premier Florida microalgae farm has launched a raw, fresh harvested, fresh frozen spirulina product called ZIP-100 (www.zip-100.com). Spirulina is a superfood eaten by humans since Mayan times.

When asked what makes this product special, CEO, Erik Stenn says, “We have been growing Spirulina in Vero Beach since 2008 and have a strain of Spirulina that is unique to Florida. Our Spirulina has adapted to the Florida weather and is very high in beta carotene, anti-inflammatories and proteins. Source water determines the quality of Spirulina and our source water comes from an artesian well, tapping ancient pure water that is very high in beneficial minerals. Our purity and quality are top notch.”

There are numerous studies performed by the National Institute of Health (NIH), which can be found at www.zip-100.com. Spirulina contains antioxidants, polyphenols, chlorophyl, amino acids, anti-inflammatories, omega 3’s and Omega 6 fatty acids, immune boosting compounds, calcium/magnesium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B complex and more within the context of a natural food.

ZIP-100 is easy to use, pop one cube into your juice or water, swirl to dissolve, then drink and you are done. Super nutrition on-the-go for a fast paced, modern world.

AUDUBON SOCIETY OF THE EVERGLADES “Artificial Reef Update” by Dr. Janet Phipps, ERM

J

oin us Tuesday, May 5 at 7:00 p.m. as Dr. Janet Phipps, ERM, speaks to us about the Palm Beach County artificial reef program.

Dr. Janet Phipps has been with the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) since 1991 and has been in her position as Coral Reef Ecologist since 2003. She has been SCUBA certified for 27 years and is actively involved with ERM and the Palm Beach County Reef Research Team, a group of volunteer citizen-scientists, mapping, conducting fish counts, and monitoring benthic invertebrates on many of the county’s artificial and natural reefs. Dr. Phipps received a Ph.D. in Physiological Ecology from Johns Hopkins University. Prior to coming to Florida, Janet was an Assistant Professor of Biology at Towson State University and conducted marine mammal research at Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. Phipps will discuss Palm Beach County’s Artificial Reef Program. Since the program’s inception, the county has deployed more than 50 ships, barges, tugboats, and other vessels and almost 150,000 tons of limestone boulders and concrete material in 75 different locations in the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Worth Lagoon. Artificial reefs provide food, shelter, and spawning areas for fish and other marine organisms as well as alternate areas for use by SCUBA divers and anglers which reduces user pressure on the natural reef system.

Join us for this important and educational program in rooms 101 and 102 at FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center, 6301 Summit Blvd, (near Jog Road) in West Palm Beach. Refreshments at 6:30 pm. Meeting is free and open to the public.

Also at the May 5 meeting: Bird of the Month: “Cooper’s Hawk”. Come learn from Clive Pinnock about this remarkable bird.

newsbriefs The Only Lesson That Matters

W

hen you have looked at the world around you, have you sometimes felt discouraged by all the seeming challenges humanity faces on this Earth—wars and other conflicts, climate change, hunger and poverty and so much more?

Adding in our own personal issues—health, finances, family, relationships, career—life could have felt overwhelming at times.

Pope John Paul II once wrote that the imperfections of the world are, in fact, perfect! Perfect because our world is a place for learning and growth. The Kabbalah also describes our universe as a realm designed to be challenging, a place to experience our separation from Source and then seek to return. Here we have the opportunity to exercise free will, through trial and error experience the results of our actions, connect to our Higher Power—and to grow as the spiritual beings we are. As A Course In Miracles tells us, the world is our classroom.

The New Testament says, “all things work together for the good….” (Romans 8:28) Sometimes what appears at first to be a disaster turns out to be for our benefit. An ancient Chinese Taoist story illustrates this seeming paradox: There was an elderly farmer who had an old horse that he used to plow his fields. One day the horse ran away to the hills beyond the farm. The farmer’s neighbors came to sympathize about his bad luck. But the old man replied, “Who knows what is bad and what is good?”

remained on the farm to help his family. Who knows what is bad and what is good?

Even when difficult circumstances don’t appear to have a “silver lining," our challenging experiences can strengthen us as we learn patience, empathy and compassion. We can then be more helpful to others and much more at peace within ourselves.

If the world exists for our education then we are life long students. Many people who have had near death experiences (NDEs) also describe visiting schools and attending classes during their time on “the other side.” They also report that only two things have real value "over there”—Knowledge and Love.

The only lesson that matters is we are beings who are meant to be forever

learning and growing. Welcome every circumstance as an opportunity to further your “education" and bring your heart’s desires closer to you. Your Knowledge and awareness of Love will expand and your Spirit will soar.

A few days later, the horse returned bringing a whole herd of horses with him from the hills.

Now the farmer’s neighbors congratulated him on his good fortune. He answered, “Who knows what is bad and what is good?”

Then, while trying to tame one of the wild horses, the farmer’s son fell and broke his leg.

The neighbors thought this was very bad luck.

But the farmer only said, “Who knows what is bad and what is good?”

Soon an army marched into the little village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they could find. When they saw the farmer’s son with his broken leg, they passed him over and he

newsbriefs Living Miraculously by Michele Landers The Goddess In The Mirror “I am strong, I am invincible… I am Woman!”

You may not be old enough to remember the words preceding the chorus of this empowering song by Helen Reddy in 1971, but it goes like this: “Oh yes, I am wise, but it’s wisdom born of pain. Yes, I paid the price, but look how much I gained. If I had to, I can do anything”

Y

es, we are strong- we make babies and we feed them. And yes we can do anything.

Just ask any woman who is raising children on her own, while working a full- time job and perhaps even taking care of aging parents.

If there is one flaw in women, they forget their worth and how remarkable they are.

We are strong when we think we have no strength left. We don't break, we bend. We are the lioness defending her pride. We invented the phrase "multi-tasking” and we have little time to whine about life's injustices or complain about what could have, or should have been. We are the gatherers of information and we do it all and it seems so effortless.

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels. ~Faith Whittlesey

Even nature is conceived as female.Think “Mother Nature.” The word nature itself in its original Latin (natura) means birth. Which is to say: to ask the “nature” of something is to ask how it was born, how it relates to the feminine. Literally and metaphorically, women define nature and the world.

We are Rosie the Riveter. We are Goddesses; Demeter, the Goddess of earth and fertility and Aphrodite, the Goddess of beauty and love, all wrapped up into one modern day woman. So, if you are a woman, congratulations! You belong to a divinely inspired, exclusive Goddess sorority.

And yet sadly, despite all this independence and fiery determination many of us aren't aware of our Goddess Divinity or what that even means. Goddess Divinity is experiencing the spiritual aspect of your feminine and divine nature that is your birthright. This divine birthright predisposes you to remarkable wisdom and talents. But you must step

into this extraordinary power – own it and above all honor it.

Do you want to meet the love of your life?

Look in the mirror ~Byron Katie One of the ways to do this is with a ceremony, one that I do at my “Goddess in the Mirror Workshops.” Why are marriage ceremonies so important? The marriage ritual ceremony makes a powerful statement of our commitment to love. Is not our commitment to love ourselves equally or more important?

If you want to make a powerful statement about your readiness to fall in love with yourself, then you must first and ceremoniously commit yourself to yourself.

Your willingness to take such a strong stand will create miracles in all areas of your life and will initiate you into a new way of being. I promise!

Self Love Ceremony Following is a simple yet profound ceremony. You will need some time alone, something wonderful to wear, candle, flowers, paper or journal and pen, a mirror, music and "first dance song,” celebratory food and drink (a glass of wine or grape juice is fine), and anything else you would like to include.

1. Light a candle & Say a brief prayer: "Divine Spirit of All There Is” please fill this place with your sacred presence. Support me in my efforts to express my love for self.

Help me see my own divinity. Amen."

2. Sit down and meditate on all your positive qualities. Don’t be shy!

3. See your “self” standing in front of you. What endearing words do you have to say to you?

4.* Write down three (or more) vows that are personally meaningful to you: "I will promise to love myself through all time… I promise to love myself so that I can more fully receive the love of others. I adore the way I feel when I am with ME etc."

5. When you feel ready, look into the mirror and connect with your own eyes and read the vows to yourself. It may be uncomfortable at first but you can transcend that. Know that your vows of Self-love will send a powerful message to the universe!

6. Now celebrate your union with self with a sip of wine or other beverage.

You are marrying “The Love of your Life – YOU. “ Play a piece of music that celebrates this union and dance, sing, be joyous… and feel the love! *if you would like a copy of the ceremony certificates I use at the Goddess In The Mirror workshop, simply contact me at: michelelanders@bellsouth.net Michele Landers is a Board Certified Life Purpose Coach and Hypnotherapist, Professional Numerologist and Author.

Meditation Improves Brain Health

H

arvard Medical School researchers working at the Massachusetts General Hospital have determined that meditation can improve brain health. The researchers studied 16 volunteers that took part in an eight-week mindfulness meditation study at the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness.

The participants conducted mindfulness meditation exercises for an average of 27 minutes a day. Before and after the trial, the subjects were given tests and magnetic resonance imaging of their brains.

The researchers found that the practice of mindfulness meditation resulted in increased gray matter density in the hippocampus of the brain, an area associated with increased memory and learning capacity, plus a greater sense of compassion and introspection.

HEART DISEASE DETECTED EARLY WITH BREATH TESTING

R

esearch published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that breath testing can reveal potential heart disease and artery problems quickly and efficiently. Testing 31 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) together with 34 healthy control subjects, the study found that concentrations of volatile gases such as propanol, ethanol and ammonia were significantly different among the heart disease patients.

It also found that the breath can reveal specific details about the heart’s condition. The breath test can be analyzed in fewer than 30 minutes.

Italian Court Links Boy’s Autism to a Vaccine

Palm Beach Edition

L

ast September, a Milan Court held in favor of plaintiffs that claimed that three doses of the hexavalent GlaxoSmithKline vaccine Infanrix Hexa that were administered to an infant beginning in 2006 caused autism later when he was a young boy. The vaccine is used for polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, whooping cough and haemophilus influenzae type B. After hearing from several medical experts, the court ruled that the child likely suffered autism and brain damage as a result of the vaccine’s content of mercury and aluminum, combined with a genetic mutation in the child rendering greater susceptibility. The ruling ordered damages to be paid by the Italian government’s national vaccine injury compensation program. The court’s decision was also based upon GlaxoSmithKline’s list of possible adverse events resulting from the vaccine, which included five cases of autism during clinical trials.

Today in the U.S., most vaccines routinely given to children under 6 years of age are free of thimerosal, a mercury-derived preservative.

Weight Gain in Moms Lowers Toxins in Newborns

M

any expectant mothers try to know about everything they put into and onto their bodies as multiple studies are finding that infants are exposed to toxins during pregnancy.

A new study of 325 expectant mothers has determined that the baby’s exposure to toxins in the womb decreases when the mother’s weight gain during pregnancy approaches the guidelines recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2009. Women that are underweight at the start of pregnancy are advised to gain between 28 and 40 pounds, women of a healthy weight 25 to 35 pounds, overweight women 15 to 25 pounds and obese women 11 to 20 pounds.

The researchers found that expectant mothers with a gestational weight that meets or exceeds the IOM guidelines gave birth to infants with reduced toxin levels. In their analysis of the umbilical cord blood of mothers from Spain, the researchers tested for 14 pesticides and 21 other environmental toxins, including seven polychlorobiphenyls (PCB). Other influencers such as age, education and fish consumption may also be relevant.

To Get Healthy, Get a Healthy Partner

H

aving a healthier partner may be one of the best things to do for our own health. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine finds that losing weight, stopping smoking or becoming more active is easier with a partner that has led the way in any or all healthy pursuits.

The study authors reviewed data collected by the UK Health Behavior Research Center at the University College London that followed 3,700 couples between 2002 and 2012—most of them ages 50 and older and married. Those that smoked at the beginning of the study were more likely to quit by the end of it if their partners quit smoking, and those that were physically inactive at the beginning of the study were more likely to become active if their partners did so first.

About two-thirds of the men became newly active during the course of the study.

Men with wives that had lost weight were more likely to also shed pounds during the study, and women with husbands that didn’t lose weight were less likely to do so through the study period.

globalbriefs News and resources to inspire concerned citizens to work together in building a healthier, stronger society that benefits all.

Corporate Climate

Companies Slowly Embrace Sustainability The 2015 State of Green Business report (Tinyurl. com/2015GreenBusinessReport), which assesses the environmental performances of companies worldwide, along with the trends to watch, is produced by GreenBiz, in partnership with Trucost.

Collectively, companies have been nibbling at the edges of challenges such as climate change, food security, ecosystems preservation and resource efficiency. One measure of corporate engagement going forward will be proactive involvement on political issues that could accelerate the transition to a low-carbon and more sustainable economy. It remains to be seen whether companies can afford to sit on the sidelines, letting the political process unfold, or worse, play defense against changes that might roil their status quo.

2015 will be an interesting year on multiple fronts, especially with the launch of the new sustainable development goals at the United Nations (UN) in New York this fall, along with UN climate talks in Paris in December. Both will be tests of corporate engagement and resolve in driving the kinds of change many of their CEOs publicly call for. The reports’ findings of companies’ progress in greenhouse gas and emissions, air pollutants, water use and solid waste production are all leveling off or even declining.

Animal Genocide

‘Lethal Control’ Trades Off Species Over the next four years, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers will shoot 16,000 double-crested cormorants nesting near the Columbia River, in Oregon, at a cost of $1.5 million a year and eliminate almost 100 sea lions because both feed on endangered salmon and steelhead trout. “If people knew how many animals are killed at taxpayer expense, they’d be horrified,” says Camilla Fox, executive director of Project Coyote, a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit.

Termed “lethal control”, there’s a growing trend to kill one species to protect another, and not all methods used are humane. In 2012, Dennis Orthmeyer, acting director of California’s Wildlife Services, said, “We pride ourselves on our ability to get it done without many people knowing about it.”

Climate change, reduced habitat and food supplies, and the introduction of non-native species are the result of human interference. “With society’s growing footprint, lethal control can only increase,” observes Michael Scott, a University of Idaho ecologist.

A plan to poison 4,000 ravens will protect greater sage grouse. More mountain lions will be killed to save bighorn sheep. The human rampage goes on, and concerned citizens are advised to urge lawmakers to end lethal control and protect wildlife habitat sustainably.

Dirty Dollars

Stores Filled with Toxic Products HealthyStuff, a project of the Michiganbased Ecology Center, in collaboration with the Campaign for Healthier Solutions (CHS), has released a report, A Day Late and a Dollar Short: Discount Retailers are Falling Behind on Safer Chemicals, about toxic chemicals found in dollar store products. It includes test results for 164 dollar store products such as toys, jewelry, school supplies and household items and found that 81 percent contained at least one hazardous chemical above a level that generates concern.

The campaign sent a letter to the CEOs of the four largest dollar store chains, including Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and 99 Cents Only, urging them to stop the sale of these unsafe products, especially to communities of low-income and ethnic families that already live in more polluted areas and food deserts, and adopt policies that will instead protect both customers and their own businesses.

Combined, these discount chains have annual sales totaling more than $36 billion and operate more stores nationally than Walmart.

The CHS is asking for a comprehensive set of reforms; communities need to let dollar store chains know that they want safer products and join local and national efforts advocating for nontoxic products.

Tool Pool

Farmers Share Farm Machinery Instead of buying or renting expensive specialized machinery, farmers in Maine can now join a “lending library” of farm tools on short-term loan by using the Shared-Use Farm Equipment Pool, a partnership between the Maine Farmland Trust (MFT) and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. There are already equipment co-ops and joint machinery ownerships around the country; now the sharing economy being established in urban areas seems to be catching on in rural America, too.

For a $100 annual fee, members can gain access to a seedbed cultivator, twoshank sub-soiler, plastic mulch layer, tine weeder, and strip and ridge tillers. The 1,200-pound mulch layer, for instance, retails for more than $2,000. Each piece is undeniably useful, but pricey, especially given the cost per use. Farmers have a three-day window to use the tools.

The pool came about when Mike Gold, an MFT staff member, saw the need to lower costs for both new and seasoned farmers. Currently, most of the tool pool members are newer vegetable farmers, but Gold says there’s appeal for established land stewards, too: “They see the opportunity to use that one piece of equipment that they may only need once a year or once every few years.”

Persistent Pacers

Women Marathoners Better at Maintaining Speed Danish researchers studying almost 2 million marathon results from 131 marathon races over a period of five years have concluded that women are 18.6 percent better than men at maintaining a consistent pace overall, compared to the first and the last parts of the distance. Among the population studied, 68.5 percent were men and 31.5 percent were women.

The research further suggests that both men and women “burn out” en route and could improve their marathon results significantly simply by starting slower.

EPA Blooper

Bee-Toxic Pesticide Approved The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved cyantraniliprole, a new systemic pesticide that is toxic to bees, for agricultural use and has set allowable residue limits on almonds, berries, leafy vegetables and milk. The EPA also approved it as a seed treatment, so it may show up in GMO (genetically modified) seeds in the future.

Cyantraniliprole has been proven to cause liver toxicity, and the EPA notes that it also alters the stability of the thyroid as tested on laboratory rats. Although the agency maintains that the pesticide is not a direct thyroid toxicant, any indirect effects on this glandular function are likely to disrupt the endocrine system. As its current endocrine disruptor screening program is still in the process of validating tests, EPA registration of the new active ingredient is questionable.

Eco-Eating

Town Eateries Embrace Sustainability The city of Maplewood, Missouri, outside St. Louis, has teamed up with the Green Dining Alliance to become the area’s first Green Dining District, with at least 25 percent of all of its independently owned businesses certified by the Green Dining Alliance (GDA). The GDA helps businesses with sustainability and green business practices while also helping them save money. So far, eight restaurants in downtown Maplewood are GDA-certified.

Green Dining Alliance’s Olivia Engel says, “It’s a win-win that makes sense for businesses and communities.” The city is also encouraging the program by subsidizing Green Dining Alliance membership fees.

Enflamed Water Home Flame Retardants Found in River

Scientists with the Washington Toxics Coalition tested household dust and laundry wastewater from 20 homes in the state’s cities of Longview and Vancouver and took samples of incoming and outgoing flow from two wastewater treatment plants that discharge into the Columbia River, the Northwest’s biggest waterway. They detected flame retardants in all the tests.

The conclusion of the study, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, is that flame retardants are sloughing off household products such as couches and TVs and collecting on people’s clothing, washing out in the laundry and passing through wastewater treatment plants into local waterways.

actionalert Investigate Climate Censorship in Florida

S

cientists and state employees report that Governor Rick Scott's office has discouraged them from using the phrases climate change, global warming and sustainability in official communications, including reports about the future of Florida's coasts.

Florida scientists, such as David Hastings, who met with Scott, advised the governor that the state of Florida is one of the most vulnerable states to the impacts of climate change in the U.S. Sea-level rise alone threatens 30% of the state’s beaches by 2100.

Hastings, a Florida scientist who met with Gov. Scott last year, called the language ban "Orwellian."

According to a report by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, the “unwritten policy” was implement in 2011 after Scott took office and appointed a new Department of Environmental Protection director.

Organic Flowers Honor Mom and Mother Earth

T

he Mother’s Day tradition of gifting mom with flowers, including such perennial favorites as lilies, orchids, tulips and roses, can be practiced in a sustainable manner. Buying organic varieties protects workers, families and the environment.

Flowers grown with conventional techniques contribute to the contamination of groundwater and streams through fertilizer and pesticide runoff that can also threaten animal species. Many of the cut flowers are grown in South America, where farms continue to use pesticides that are restricted in the U.S. and cited as highly toxic by the World Health Organization. GreenAmerica.org provides several helpful tips on bringing joy to mom on her special day in eco-friendly ways: Grow Your Own. Buy organic bulbs or seeds in consumer seed catalogs and retail racks or online from reputable sources that include SeedsOfChange.com.

Children can then grow their own flowers to make them mean even more. Tips for natural weed and pest control, environmentally friendly watering, making raised garden beds and more are posted at EarthEasy.com/yard-garden.

Buy Local and Organic. Support local communities and save shipping costs and energy by purchasing chemical-free organic flowers from a local farmers’ market or community supported agriculture.

Online retailers like OrganicBouquet.com and LocalHarvest.org/ organic-flowers.jsp offer U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic flowers.

Ask Local Florists to Go Organic. Find out if local florists purchase any organic and local flowers, and if not, request that they do so.

Also, eschew plastic wraps and vases for eco-friendly flowers to avoid toxic ingredients and the carbon manufacturing footprint. Fun options to hold and showcase the gift include old, recycled Mason and glass jars and bottles or an artistic vase from an estate sale or antique or thrift shop.

RETHINKING BREAST HEALTH Natural ways to keep breasts smooth, pain-free and firm, while reducing the risk of cancer.

by Lisa Marshall

W

e’ve been conditioned to narrowly define breast health in terms of pink ribbon campaigns, cancer awareness marches and cold, steel mammography machines.

Nearly 30 years after anticancer drug maker Imperial Chemical Industries (now AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals) established the first National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 1985, many women have come to equate healthy breasts with cancer-free breasts, and assume the most important thing they can do is undergo regular screening.

But amid this chorus, some women’s health advocates are striving to get a different message across: There are a host of steps women can take to not only fend off disease in the future, but keep their breasts in optimal condition today. “We need to change the conversation about our breasts from how to avoid breast cancer and detect it early to how to have healthy breasts and enjoy them,” says Dr. Christiane Northrup, an obstetrician and gynecologist from Yarmouth, Maine, and author of the new book Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being.

Healthy Breasts, Healthy Body

Laurie Steelsmith, co-author of Natural Choices for Women’s Health. Because breasts are extremely sensitive to hormonal fluctuations throughout the body, they can also serve as a barometer of overall health. “If you’re having chronic breast symptoms, it can be your body’s wisdom saying, ‘Help. Something’s wrong.’ Women need to listen.”

While some premenstrual swelling and tenderness is normal, exaggerated or persistent pain is often a sign of systemic estrogen dominance in relation to progesterone. It’s common in the years leading up to menopause, but can also hint at impaired thyroid function, because low levels of thyroid hormones have been shown to boost estrogen in breast tissue, advises Steelsmith.

Large, fluid-filled cysts or fibrous lumps, while non-cancerous, can also be a reflection of overexposure to harmful chemicals and toxin buildup, combined with poor lymph flow, notes Dr. Elizabeth Vaughan, an integrative physician in Greensboro, North Carolina. “If a woman has lumpy, bumpy breasts, they probably contain too many toxins, and those toxins are primarily estrogenic.”

In adolescence, breast changes are the first to signal the arrival of womanhood. When she’s aroused, a woman’s nipples harden and change color. When a woman gives birth, her breasts fill with life-giving milk. “In all these ways, your breasts are deeply connected to your femininity, compassion and sensuality,” says Hawaiian Naturopathic Doctor 26

Palm Beach Edition

Addressing such symptoms is important not only to relieve discomfort, but also because excess estrogen can fuel future cancer risk, says Vaughan.

Any new, suspicious lump should be evaluated by a professional. Also, severe breast tenderness combined with nipple discharge could be a sign of infection or a problem with the pituitary gland, so it should also be checked. But typically, subtle natural healthcare steps can go a long way toward restoring breast wellness.

For nipple tenderness, Steelsmith recommends chaste-tree berry (175 milligrams [mg] of powdered extract or 40 drops daily). The herbal supplement mimics naturally occurring progesterone in the body, helping to counter estrogen dominance. Vitamin E (400 to 800 international units [IU] per day) and evening primrose oil (1,500 mg twice a day) have also been shown to alleviate breast tenderness.

For fibrous or cyst-filled breasts, Vaughan advises supplementing with iodine (up to 12.5 mg per day via kelp, seaweed or oral tablets) or applying an iodine solution to the breasts at night.

A key constituent of thyroid hormones, iodine helps the liver convert unfriendly forms of estrogen into friendlier forms and flush toxins out of lymph nodes in the breast. Also, steer clear of chocolate and coffee, because caffeine is believed to interact with enzymes in the breast, exaggerating pain and lumpiness.

Also consider ditching the bra, says Vaughan. Brassieres can constrict lymph nodes and hinder blood circulation in breasts, locking toxins in and aggravating fibrocystic symptoms. The link between bras and breast cancer risk remains hotly debated, with one 2014 U.S. National Cancer Institute study of 1,400 women concluding unequivocally that, “There’s no evidence that wearing a bra increases a woman’s risk of breast cancer,” while smaller studies from the United States, China, Venezuela, Scotland and Africa suggest a link. Vaughan, the founder of BraFree.org, says the science is compelling enough that she has chosen to keep her own bra use to a minimum and advises her patients to do the same.

What can

“Obviously, there are certain sports where you should wear a sports bra and there are certain dresses that only look right with a bra,” says Vaughan. At a minimum, avoid wearing a bra to bed and steer clear of underwires and overly tight bras that leave red marks. “This is not about guilt-tripping women into never wearing a bra. It’s about wearing a bra less.”

Beautiful Breasts Naturally

Too small or too big, lopsided or riddled with stretch marks… it seems almost every woman has a complaint about the appearance of her breasts. That’s a problem, says Northrup, because, “Healthy breasts are breasts that are loved. We have to stop beating them up.”

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of women getting breast implants for cosmetic reasons ballooned from 212,500 in 2000 to 286,254 in 2014. Physicians—including Northrup—claim that modern implants don’t, in the majority

of cases, promote disease like older silicone implants did. Yet even plastic surgeons warn that having implants should be fully thought out, and at some point they’ll probably have to come out.

“They are manmade devices, and are not intended to be lifelong. At some point, you will probably have to have further surgery,” says Dr. Anureet Bajaj, an Oklahoma City plastic surgeon.

Bajaj notes that implants can rupture, forming scar tissue and lending irregular shape to the breast. Often, as a woman ages and her body changes, the larger breasts she chose in her 20s no longer look right and may cause back and shoulder pain. In some cases, implants can also lead to loss of nipple sensitivity. For these and other reasons, 23,774 women—including actress Melissa Gilbert and model Victoria Beckham—had their implants removed in 2014, often following up with a breast lift (using their own tissue) to restore their shape.

Vaughan sees breast implant removal as a wise and courageous choice to restore optimal breast health. Better yet, don’t get implants in the first place.

“There are a lot of other things you can do to improve the appearance of your breasts,” she advises.

Vaughan recommends breast-perking exercises like dumbbell bench presses and flys that tone the pectoral muscles beneath the breasts, making them more resilient and look larger. To prevent or reverse sagging, she again urges women to go bra-free. “We have ligaments in the upper outer quadrant of our breasts called Cooper’s ligaments, and they’re responsible for holding our breasts up.

Just like your muscles atrophy when you put your arm in a sling, your Cooper’s ligaments atrophy if you wear a bra all the time.”

In one unpublished, yet highly publicized 2013 study, French Exercise Physiologist Jean-Denis Rouillon measured the busts of 330 women ages 18 to 35 over a period of 15 years and found those that regularly wore a bra had droopier breasts with lower nipples than those that didn’t. In another, smaller, Japanese study, researchers found that when women stopped wearing a bra for three months, their breasts perked up.

Those worried about stretch marks also have options. They can be a sign of inadequate copper, which promotes collagen integrity and helps skin stretch without injury, says Steelsmith. If rapid weight gain is occurring due to adolescence, pregnancy or for other reasons, try taking copper supplements or applying a topical copper spray on the breasts.

Remember to massage your breasts daily, not only as a “search and destroy mission” for early detection of cancerous lumps, says Northrup, but as a way to get waste products flowing out and loving energy flowing in.

“It concerns me that women feel pressured to think of their breasts as two potentially pre-malignant lesions sitting on their chests,” Northrup says. “These are organs of nourishment and pleasure for both ourselves and others. We need to remember that, too.”

Bust Musts for Cancer Prevention

by Lisa Marshall

A

ccording to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and nearly 40,000 will die annually of the disease.

But at least 38 percent of those diagnoses could be prevented via diet and lifestyle changes, affirms the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR).

“For decades, the dominant public message about breast cancer has been about early detection,” says Medical Doctor Robert Pendergrast, an associate professor at the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta, and author of Breast Cancer: Reduce Your Risk with Foods You Love. “Screening is important, but not nearly enough attention is being paid to prevention.” Here’s what we can do to keep cancer at bay or from recurring.

Eat more veggies: Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, are loaded with indole-3-carbinol, or I3C, a potent anticancer compound that helps break down excess estrogen and convert it into a more friendly, or benign form, says Steelsmith. One study in Alternative Medicine Review found that women that ate high amounts of cruciferous vegetables were 30 percent less likely to develop breast cancer over 30 years.

I3C can also be taken as a supplement (300 milligrams [mg] per day).

Eat more fiber, especially flax: Fiber, via whole grains, fruits and vegetables, helps flush out toxins including unfriendly estrogen. Flax contains cancer-fighting compounds called lignans, which block the effects of excess or unfriendly estrogen on cells.

Drink less alcohol: Alcohol boosts estrogen levels in women and is broken down in the liver to acetaldehyde, a known toxin that causes cancer in laboratory animals, notes Naturopath

napalmbeach.com

Laurie Steelsmith. According to the AICR, a woman that has five drinks per week boosts her risk by 5 percent. Two or more drinks per day boosts such risk by more than 40 percent.

Skip the barbecue: Charring meat produces carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines. A study of 42,000 women, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, found that those that routinely ate well-done hamburger, beef or bacon had four times the risk of those that opted for medium or medium-rare.

Keep weight in check: Excessive estrogen, which lives in fat cells, fuels cancer risk. According to the AICR, a woman with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 (obese) has a 13 percent higher risk of cancer than a woman with a BMI of 25 (slightly overweight).

Spice up life: Curcumin from the turmeric plant has been shown in many studies to have potent immune-boosting and anticancer properties, reactivating sleeping tumor-suppressor genes that can kill cancer cells.

De-stress: Growing evidence that includes studies from Ohio State University suggest that stress can boost the risk of breast cancer and recurrence, plus heighten its aggressiveness by altering hormones and impairing immunity. One study from Finland’s University of Helsinki followed 10,808 Finnish women for 15 years and found as much as double the rate of breast cancer among those that had experienced a divorce or death of a spouse or family member.

Drink green tea: It’s loaded with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant believed to suppress new blood vessel growth in tumors and keep cancerous cells from invading healthy tissue.

Triumph Over The ‘Big C’

There is a Better Way...

by Lisa Marshall

W

hen Sandy Messonnier was diagnosed with breast cancer, she faced scary treatment decisions as doctors pressured her to consider all means available. “I was more afraid of the treatment than the cancer itself,” says Messonnier, 52, of Plano, Texas. “I kept feeling like I was being lumped into one big category of all women that got breast cancer, rather than treated as an individual.”

With the help of her holistic veterinarian husband Shawn Messonnier, Sandy took a more measured approach, blending conventional and complementary medicine in an individualized protocol the couple describes in their book, Breast Choices for the Best Chances: Your Breasts, Your Life, and How You Can Win the Battle!

After careful consideration, Sandy opted for two lumpectomies three weeks apart, instead of a mastectomy, to remove the small tumor. The second one was done to clear up a few remaining cells indicated by a biopsy. Meanwhile, she took supplements including green tea and coriolus mushrooms to impede the spread of the cancer cells. Several tests helped determine if she needed chemotherapy and the optimum dose for some of her supplements. The results prompted her to decline chemotherapy and opt for a brief stint of radiation while taking the supplements quercetin and curcumin to help combat the fatigue and other side effects. Afterward, she cleansed her body with homeopathic mistletoe, herbal milk thistle and other detoxifying supplements. Then she began the work of keeping cancer at bay.

“A lot of doctors never talk to you about what you are going to do after the poisoning [chemo], the burning and surgery,” she says. “Rather than taking a cancer-fighting drug, I chose to be more mindful of what I do with my body.”

Her regimen called for committing to keeping up with the healthy diet, plus regular walks, yoga and Pilates that she believes helped keep the cancer relatively mild to begin with. But she also made some life changes to address the one thing she believes may have driven the outbreak in the first place—stress. She made peace with her mother, which reduced a lot of stress, began to cultivate a spiritual life and now takes time to meditate or walk when she feels even lightly stressed. She also vowed to keep the fear of recurrence from overwhelming her. “Many women never stop worrying about it,” she observes. “That is toxic energy you are putting back into your body.”

As of this October, Messonnier will be five years cancerfree. Her advice for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer: “Chemotherapy, radiation and mastectomy are not among the right choices for all women. There are other options, depending on the type of cancer. Don’t be so fearful that you make hasty decisions you don’t need to make.”

etermining the best birth setting for a mother necessitates sound planning.

If an unmedicated birth is a goal, these insights may help in making decisions.

Home birth takes place in the comfort of home, typically with the assistance of a midwife, and is suitable for a healthy woman with a low-risk pregnancy. She is able to wear her own clothing and eat as she pleases. Because monitoring of mother and baby is done intermittently, she is free to move around.

Confirm the midwife’s certification with the American Midwifery Certification Board and ask how many home births she’s attended and which obstetricians she consults. Discuss the signs and symptoms that might necessitate a move to the hospital and how quickly it can be done.

While a midwife’s fee is often far less than the cost of a hospital birth, not all insurance companies cover home births.

A birth center provides personalized, family-centered care in a home-like environment for healthy women. Practitioners follow principles of problem prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention and cost-effectiveness. A certified nurse-midwife typically delivers the baby, but the collaborative practice team also includes obstetricians, pediatricians 30

Palm Beach Edition

and other specialists. Mothers experience personal freedoms similar to a home birth, and tubs for water births are usually available, plus other birthing props such as squatting bars, stools and balls.

The center should be accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Birth Centers. Inquire what the protocol for care will be if complications arise, learn what the center’s charges for care cover and confirm if the family’s insurance policy will pay for the services provided.

A hospital generally has access to the latest medical technology, making it a preferred option for many pregnancies.

With proper preparations, an unmedicated birth is possible in this traditional setting.

Investigate their rates of Cesarean births and episiotomies and the determining parameters.

To allow for an active labor, request intermittent fetal monitoring, avoid intravenous fluids and ask about the availability of birthing props. Become familiar with hospital policies, such as who can be in the delivery room and whether the baby will stay with mom after the birth. If a nurse midwife is not on staff, consider hiring a doula to assist in preparing for and carrying out the family’s birth plan.

KIDS ¤ VEGGIES How to Instill Healthy Lifelong Habits

by Clancy Cash Harrison

Starting at conception, the early years of a child’s life are a perfect window of opportunity to establish a foundation of healthy eating.

W

ant a child to love veggies?

Here are simple tips parents can practice in the first three years to establish lifelong good eating habits.

Start early. We all know that eating healthy during pregnancy will help a baby grow, but many may not realize that an infant can taste flavors in utero and through breast milk. Eating a variety of fresh produce during pregnancy and breastfeeding helps shape a healthy diet later in life.

Treat weaning as a time for the infant to explore the texture, taste and aroma of an array of foods. After six months of exclusive breastfeeding, food can be introduced, although breast milk is still the primary source of nutrients.

Small, repeated exposures to many foods during this stage will help minimize refusals to try or accept foods in the toddler years.

32

Palm Beach Edition

Children’s foods should be exploding with nutrients. Offering a variety of organic produce ensures optimal nutrition and decreases chemical exposure. Research reported by the Harvard Medical School and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, among others, shows that richly colored foods help build dense bones, powerful brains and tough immunity.

Good candidates include butternut squash, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, berries and citrus.

Also go for those naturally high in iron, such as peas, leafy greens, apricots, raisins and legumes. Avoid anything high in sugar and other sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, artificial colorings and other harmful additives.

Another important yet often overlooked foundation of healthy eating is encouraging a child to self-regulate his or her calorie intake. Self-regulation

napalmbeach.com

starts on the first day of breastfeeding and is carried through adulthood. Respecting a child’s decision to end a meal allows them to control their own food intake.

Common signals infants use to end a meal include turning their head away, arching back, throwing food on the floor and showing an interest in other activities. To encourage self-regulation, always serve meals and healthy snacks on a schedule and allow the child to feed himself when possible.

As early as 7 months of age, most healthy infants are developmentally ready to do this, which should optimize nutrient consumption, increase participation in family meals and contribute to a less stressful mealtime. Appropriate foods for self-feeding should easily melt in an infant’s mouth and be a safe size, such as soft fruits and cooked vegetables. To prevent choking, avoid round, hard and sticky foods such as whole grapes, peanuts, popcorn and nut or seed butters.

Don’t be afraid to add mild herbs and spices to a child’s food. An easy way to teach healthy flavor preferences, develop taste buds and reduce pickiness when they’re older is to expose children to many foods, textures and aromas. A dash of cumin in smashed avocado or freshly chopped mint mixed with diced strawberries introduces new perspective on a favorite food.

Food refusal is inevitable, normal behavior. Children will love a food one day and hate it the next. Rethinking the definition of variety empowers parents to reintroduce a not-so-favorite food many times. If children don’t like the way an item feels or looks, they may not taste it.

The refusal of a carrot doesn’t necessarily doom carrots. They can be coined, minced, mashed, puréed and diced to change the texture, plus they can be

served cold, at room temperature or tepid.

A child’s early adventurous eating increases the willingness to experiment with a wider range of less familiar foods as a young adult in a multicultural foodscape.

Kids are not born reciting an alphabet; it takes time and practice to read and learn a new language. Similarly, it requires time and patient practice to establish a healthy foundation for eating. Have faith in the family’s ability to make eating together enjoyable for everyone.

n Holding off on fruits as a first food to prevent development of a sweet tooth is a myth. A sweet taste preference is engrained in an infant’s DNA (Annual Review of Nutrition; Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care). n Restricting foods high in sugar and fat increases a child’s preference for them.

Then, when sweets are made available, the child feels compelled to overeat them (Appetite; The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition; Proceedings of the Nutrition Society). n Most children will refuse a new food and by age 2, become afraid of anything new.

Therefore, introduce a large variety of foods early in life (Appetite; International Journal of Obesity). n Infants and children can regulate calorie needs based on current growth patterns and age. Some days an infant will eat large amounts of food, on others very little. n Pressuring a child to eat is a behavior associated with unhealthy eating habits.

Not only does it set them up for long-term food aversions, it teaches them to distrust their internal feelings of hunger and fullness, often leading to a habit of overeating.

e read the labels touting low sugar, carbs, fats and calories. We try this and that diet, hoping the pounds will melt away. Yet more than a third of U.S. adults, nearly 80 million of us, remain overweight or obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta.

The problem might be that we’re getting the wrong advice. While most weightloss plans focus on reducing calories, recent research shows that vegan and vegetarian dietary patterns can result in more weight loss than those that include meat, without even emphasizing caloric restriction. Scientists at the University of South Carolina, in Columbia, point to their study, How Plant-Based Do We Need to Be to Achieve Weight Loss?

Study participants were divided into five groups, according to eating style, from vegan to flexitarian to carnivore, and monitored for an eight-week period. At the end of the evaluation, those that followed an entirely plant-based diet achieved the greatest weight loss. Study leader Gabrielle Turner-McGrievy, Ph.D., notes, “Many researchers agree that vegan eating styles

Eat food. Not too much.

Mostly plants. ~Michael Pollan are tied to lower BMI [body mass index], lower prevalence of Type 2 diabetes and less weight gain with age.”

Can it really be that simple… eat more plants and lose weight? “Yes,” says clean food coach Jeannette Bessinger, of Newport, Rhode Island. “Most people could benefit from eating more vegetables.” Coauthor of Natural Solutions for Digestive Health with Naturopath Jillian Sarno Teta, Bessinger advises her clients to start by eating more green, leafy vegetables.

Vegetables contribute to weight control in several ways, says Bessinger. They fill us up and help calm cravings. Plus, when plants become the bulk of what we eat, we naturally consume fewer high-fat, high-calorie foods.

For an easy appetite-control strategy, Bessinger suggests having a cup of vegetable soup about 10 minutes before a meal. “It shuts off your appetite valve and you’ll eat noticeably less,” she says, while still feeling full. She also recommends slowing down and being mindful when we eat. Vegetables help us do that. “It takes two-and-a-half minutes to eat a piece of cheesecake, but much more time to eat a big salad,” she says.

For New York City-based Victoria Moran, author of Main Street Vegan and

The Good Karma Diet, losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle became easier once she adopted a vegan diet.

“I’ve been through life and loss and ages 40 and 50, and my weight stays steady, some 60 pounds less than it once was,” she says. “Every year when I put away my winter clothes and get out my summer clothes, they fit.”

Her eating strategy is easy, too. “Make your plate look like a Christmas tree,” says Moran, “mostly green with splashes of other bright colors from vegetables and fruits.”

She eats green veggies in several ways.

She makes her own green juices—one favorite combines celery, kale, apple and lemon juice. She also adds tender greens like romaine or spinach to smoothies that might also contain fruit and citrus juice.

She steams greens with plenty of garlic and makes big salads.

“I bought my salad bowl at a restaurant Dream.. Crystal Creations Florida’s #1 Imagine... supply house,” Moran exclaims. Salads get Create!

Uliano recently asked two colleagues A Gentle AquAtic Journey for nurturinG PArents on the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family show to try eating vegan, while also eliminating gluten, alcohol, caffeine and refined grains. The pair lost weight, gained energy and improved their skin tone.

Seating

Chairs are plentiful in garage and whole-house sales, flea markets and on Craigslist. Sometimes all that’s needed is a coat of paint and fun fabric. New cushions, bought or made, are easy upgrades. Recovering a padded seat only requires the right amount of fabric and a sturdy staple gun. Mismatched chairs, painted a neutral color and redone with the same fabric, turn a mishmash of styles into a coordinated set. Chevron (zig zag) or checkerboard patterns in black and white are popular— understated, yet posh. Bright colors in a pop art style or 70s florals brighten any room and give the owner style points.

Benches created from a bookcase, shortened dresser or car parts can be padded or plain and incorporate storage capacity. A child’s bench may have been a skateboard in its former life.

When buying reclaimed wood, ask about its origin; factory pieces might still retain unhealthy contaminants.

My mother was a gourmet chef and an advocate of organic food, so we always had amazing meals growing up. Eating organic produce that’s in season locally seems to help me assimilate nutrition more readily. Whenever I can, I also try to tap into biodynamic agriculture, which takes an even broader holistic approach to food production and nutrition. I view GMOs [genetically modified foods] as toxic to the system.

As a self-taught chef, I like to cook at least 80 percent of my food at home and bring meals to work so I don’t stress about food during the day. It feels good to get people together in the kitchen and I’ve taught friends how to cook healthy foods in simple ways, so they now bring their own meals with them to

rom That ‘70s Show to Orange is the New Black, actress Laura Prepon has long been considered by TV audiences to be a welcome image of health. Yet Prepon’s recent discovery that she’d been falling short in nourishing her body as effectively as possible has set in motion a complete redirection of lifestyle, from her diet to fitness routine. Now working on a book about clean living and eating due out next year, Prepon has rededicated herself to educating us just as much as she’s entertained us through the years.

work. It’s all about preparation, so that you’re not just grabbing something on the run. Knowing what’s going into the food we’re eating is important.

Why do you include a lot of soup in your diet?

With all of the GMO food sprayed with chemicals in the typical American diet and the other environmental toxins everyone has to deal with, our gut flora, intestines and bodies in general are becoming compromised. Ten years ago, few had even heard of gluten allergies unless you had celiac disease, which was rare even then. Now, everywhere you go, there’s a gluten-free option.

I love eating soup because the healthful ingredients I use are broken down completely, so the body can immediately assimilate needed micronutrients, which help heal us from the inside out. I’m talking about homemade broth from grassfed beef bones, so you get the marrow; I’m partial to knuckle bones. I always have soup broth in my refrigerator.

What’s key to your ability to naturally stay healthy and fit in the midst of an intense schedule of work and travel?

I love modalities like acupuncture, massage … all of that. I fully believe in keeping energy flowing to benefit the functioning of all our organs.

As school kids, we learn about the circulatory system and central nervous system, but who knows much about the lymphatic system? It’s extremely important, and people are starting to get the idea. Activities like yoga, swimming and bouncing on the trampoline can help.

Do you see society’s penchant for medicating as a way to avoid listening to and addressing our body’s real needs?

I do. That’s why I study Eastern medicine, because I feel that Western medicine treats problems and Eastern medicine prevents problems from happening. I grew up in a family of doctors and “full-on” Western medicine and respect the medical community.

Unfortunately, these days, most people are continually medicated and they’re not getting better. As a society, we tend to just take a drug to handle a symptom instead of addressing the actual cause of the problem.

As a celebrity, do you see yourself as a conduit to facilitate a shift away from unnatural lifestyles?

Yes. The reason I decided to write a book was because I’ve been struggling with a bunch of different ailments in secret for a long time. When I began working with my integrated health coach, Elizabeth Troy, I started to heal for the first time in all the years of reading books on health, diet and fitness, seeing doctors, taking loads of pills and spending crazy amounts of money on all of these activities. I want to help people struggling to regain their health to get answers.

FIND THE RIGHT Flexing Our BALANCE MUSCLES In Life and Business

Weightlifting Makes Us Fit, Healthy and Self-Confident

omen who shy away from the traditionally male-centric weight rooms might want to reconsider.

Standing their ground amid the deadlift bars and iron plates could lead to a host of unimagined benefits. Research has found that among other things, hoisting dumbbells can amp up the fat burn, ward off some common diseases and make women stronger, both inside and out.

Aerobic activity can burn more calories while doing it (e.g., 14 to 16 per minute when running), but strength training prolongs the burn, even when resting afterward, according to Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., of Quincy, Massachusetts, who publishes widely on the topic in scientific journals, magazine articles and books.

Women will burn fewer calories while pumping iron than when running (between eight and 10 calories a minute), but because of weightlifting’s action— traumatizing muscle tissue and forcing it to rebuild—muscle recovery requires increased expenditure of energy, and thus calories, when the person is at rest.

The research shows a revved-up burn of between 5 percent and 7 percent for three full days after a workout, says Westcott, who developed the exercise science major at Quincy College and has reviewed and directed strength-training research for more than 25 years. “On average, a woman burns an extra 100 calories a day by having done 30 minutes of strength training twice a week. That’s an extra 3,000 calories a month, or nearly an extra pound of fat she can burn.”

Additional “free” calorie burn-

napalmbeach.com

ing comes from the after-burn effect.

By initiating the anaerobic, rather than aerobic, system, weightlifting requires more energy just to return to the resting state. “So, after you finish a workout, you will burn approximately 30 percent of the amount of calories you burned during the workout in the first hour afterward as your body transitions back. It’s a bonus of resistance training.”

“It’s like there’s a furnace inside you,” says Naturopathic Doctor and CrossFit instructor Holly Lucille, of West Hollywood, California. The more buff a woman becomes, the more fat she burns.

“It can help minimize that natural effect of slowed metabolism as you age and control body weight,” she notes.

To maximize the burn, eat a healthy combined protein/carb snack within an hour of the workout, advises Jen Hoehl, a personal trainer in New York City, who says, “Adding amino acids helps the muscles rebuild more efficiently.”

Westcott agrees, adding that 90 percent of studies he’s reviewed concur that about 25 extra grams of protein such as a Greek yogurt, more for heavier men, just before or after a workout, enhances fat loss, bone strength and lean muscle gain.

Don’t Fear ‘Hulk’ Bulk

Experts agree that it’s impossible for women to look like the Hulk character of comic book fame. “They don’t have enough anabolic hormones, such as testosterone,” Westcott explains. “Our team has written 26 books on strength training, with not one title exclusively for women. The muscles are exactly the same for both genders, so the same training works, but women will

“I train a lot of tiny girls that deadlift 225,” Hoehl says. One tip: Don’t overeat, a mistake many women make when starting out.

“Often, people will be hungrier, and they lose track of what they eat or think, ‘Now I can reward myself,’” Lucille explains. “You have to figure out what your new normal is.

Eat lean, clean protein.”

All three experts agree that braving the free-weight area boosts success at toning and trimming the whole body. “If you use free weights, you use your core and more muscle groups to help stabilize both the weight and your body, which is often standing,” Hoehl explains, versus machines that are often worked while sitting, and generally exercise only one targeted muscle group at a time.

ayne Westcott, who has served as a consultant for many national organizations, from the U.S. Air Force to the American Council on Exercise, points to the relevant body of research he’s studied, which shows that the health benefits of building muscle can also help ward off many diseases and debilitating conditions.

Recover Muscle

Weightlifters also slow Mother Nature’s habit of stealing muscle during aging.

“Women lose an average of five pounds of muscle per decade after age 30 until menopause, when the rate increases even more,” Westcott says. Studies have found that during a woman’s first six months of twice-weekly weight training, she can rebuild about one-quarter pound of muscle per week, he says.

Because becoming stronger makes everything from chores to other kinds of workouts easier, women become firmer, fitter and more self-confident, Lucille observes. Independence rises, along with self-esteem. “As with all things in life: If you push against resistance, you get stronger,” she says. “That’s true both mentally and physically.”

Note: Experts recommend using a certified trainer or weightlifting class to get started.

et down off your cross.” Harsh words, especially coming from a longtime hospital chaplain when the woman she was addressing had just learned she was cancer-free.

Regardless, “Within two minutes, she started retelling the story of her diagnosis, surgery and chemo,” recounted Debra Jarvis, affectionately known as “The Irreverent Reverend”, during a TEDMED talk in Washington, D.C. “She was using words like suffering, agony, struggle... and ended with, ‘I felt crucified.’” It was then that Jarvis asked this woman to do what would likely require more of her than anything she’d done before.

Over the years, Jarvis has observed the tendency for us to identify ourselves by our wounds as “survivors” of something that does not and should not define us. “What if people decided to claim their trauma as an experience, instead of taking it on as an identity?” she queries. “Maybe it would be the start of defining ourselves by who we have become and who we are becoming.”

As Jarvis well knows, there are, in her words, “powerful forces” pushing us to do just the opposite. In 2005, she found herself in the same position as her friend, having recovered from cancer and trying to sort out what it all meant. “We don’t all have to start a foundation or write a book,” to claim meaning for ourselves, she says.

napalmbeach.com

“Maybe we make one small decision that can bring about a big change.”

For some, this has meant exchanging a disease-prone view of themselves for a more inspired outlook. Too often, though, mustering the humility to adopt such a perspective can seem just as difficult as climbing down from whatever tortuous experience we’re clinging to. Yet, it’s essential.

As those familiar with the Bible know, a central event of Jesus’ life, his crucifixion, was followed by his even more compelling resurrection, a term that thought leader Mary Baker Eddy describes as “spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding.”

The good news is that such transformation is not exclusive, but available to anyone. Whether it’s at the urging of a chaplain or another counselor or our own divine inspiration that’s encouraging us to move on, we owe it to ourselves to begin discovering who and what we really are.

PET VACCINE ALTERNATIVES

Natural Steps to Nurture Immunity

by Shawn Messonnier

W

ith pets, as with kids, vaccine safety and necessity are likely concerns. While holistic veterinarians tend to minimize the use of vaccines, their strongest stance is against unnecessary vaccinations. The point is to immunize only when it’s needed by individual patients while maximizing natural immunity.

In the late 1970s, amid the discovery of the canine parvo virus, vets saw many puppies under 4 months of age suffer from this mysterious disease and die or be euthanized. Once a vaccine was made, we rarely saw pets dying from the parvo virus or parvoviral infection. So, in certain cases, vaccines can be life-saving.

However, unnecessary and multiple simultaneous vaccines can also be lifetaking, which doctors rarely mention. The truth is that only minimal vaccines are needed for dogs

and cats over the course of a pet’s life.

No pet needs all of the vaccines that are currently manufactured, and none needs vaccines every six to 12 months.

Pets do need veterinary checkups once or twice a year to screen for diseases affecting the liver, heart, kidneys, lungs and gastrointestinal and urinary systems, as well as cancer. Blood and urine testing, including blood testing for undiagnosed cancer, is vital, easy and inexpensive (every six months for pets 5 years and older and annually for those that are younger).

A good protocol is akin to that developed by Dr. Jean Dodds, founder of Hemopet, of Garden Grove, California, a holistic veterinarian and an expert in animal vaccination and immunology. Her system involves administering limited vaccines to puppies and kittens based on their individual needs, and not more often than every three weeks for those younger than 8 weeks. Following this course, by 4 months of age the pet has been injected with four to six vaccines, compared to double to triple the amount supported by vaccine manufacturers and administered by breeders and most conventional doctors.

Such a judicious, limited vaccine protocol offers protection against the diseases that are the most lethal to the puppy or kitten while doing no harm to its natural immune system. As needed, individual pets may also receive a natural detoxification protocol to minimize vaccine reactions. Antioxidant supplements can boost the immune response, as well.

Adult pet patients can also be given blood titer testing instead of vaccines. This measures the animal’s individual antibody responses to prior immunizations or common disease exposure and assures us the pet has adequate immunity against a specific disease.

All of this assures the pet owner that the pet is protected against infectious diseases without the risks of annual multiple vaccinations. In most cases a protective titer is maintained for many years, which preempts disease and further reduces the number of vaccines the animal receives over its lifetime.

Titer testing costs less than $100 for three common infectious diseases, is safer than routine immunization, protects the immune system, prevents vaccine reactions and assures owners, vets, boarding facilities, groomers and day care facilities that it’s safe to introduce the pet into such environments.

This approach of minimal vaccinations is a prime reason holistic veterinarian patients tend to be healthier and live longer than the average pet, with even larger dogs regularly living in good health up to 15 to 20 years of age.

Holistic veterinarians perform limited vaccines supplemented by titer testing to ensure levels of care that meet accepted standards. They base their approach on supportive science from institutions including the American Animal Hospital Association and American Association of Feline Practitioners to provide safe, proven, ongoing immunity for patients.

Q10

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

C

oenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a chemical found naturally in almost all the cells of our body. Its primary biochemical action is as a cofactor in the electron transport and energy production cycles of ATP (an energy chemical) in the mitochondria of our cells. Since most cellular functions are dependent on ATP, CoQ10 is therefore essential for the health and energy of every organ and function in our body.

Although we normally make enough CoQ10 in our bodies, there may be times when we are deficient. The organs that are the most active will use up their biochemical reserves first. Research shows that cells which seem to have the highest requirements for CoQ10 are in the heart, immune system, digestive tract and gingiva (gums). Deficiencies in CoQ10 are thus found in diseases of these organs/systems, ranging from congestive heart failure (CHF), cardiomyopathy (diseases of the heart muscle), high blood pressure (hypertension), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), periodontal (gum) disease, and other conditions, from cancer to obesity to diabetes. Here are some of the results: CARDIAC DISEASE: CoQ10 is lower (and gets lower with severity of disease) with ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular diseases (aortic and mitral valvular stenosis or hardening), septal defects (holes in the heart walls), congestive heart failure (CHF), angina, arrhythmias (premature ventricular beats), hypertension, and patients who have undergone heart surgeries. CoQ10 has been given to patients in every one of these disease conditions under research studies with positive results in every category. In fact, in one large research trial of 1,113 CHF patients, receiving 50-150 mg/day of CoQ10 for 3 months, between 50-80% of the patients reported improvements in the following areas: edema, shortness of breath, palpitations, arrhythmias, insomnia, and vertigo (to name just a few). CoQ10 has shown good results in patients with hypertension, reducing their blood pressure an average of 18 mm Hg. CoQ10 given to patients a week prior to heart surgery for valvular lesions had fewer cases of low cardiac output after surgery.

IMMUNE SYSTEM AND CANCER: CoQ10 increases the immune response in patients with low immune functioning. It increases levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in chronically ill patients. It increases levels of helper T cells in AIDS patients as well as reduces their chances of opportunistic infections. CoQ10, given with other vitamins, has reduced tumor size in the breast, lung and liver in women with breast cancer and metastases.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE: CoQ10 reduces signs and symptoms of periodontal diseases, which include swelling, bleeding, redness, pain, gingival pocket depth and tooth loosening.

GASTRIC ULCER: studies in lab animals have shown CoQ10 helps heal stomach ulcers.

OBESITY: CoQ10 plus a low calorie diet caused greater weight loss than diet alone in obese individuals.

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE: studies have shown little and sometimes no increase in physical performance (ergogenic) benefits.

NEUROLOGICAL: patients with muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease have all shown varying degrees of improvement.

DIABETES: studies of patients with diabetes mellitus on insulin had varying degrees of success with CoQ10, with 31% of patients lowering their fasting blood sugar levels by 30%.

DRUG REACTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS: CoQ10 may decrease the effectiveness of warfarin or other anticoagulants.

It may improve pancreatic beta cell function in diabetics, so dose adjustment of insulin or diabetic meds may be needed.

Patients taking HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (such as Lipitor, etc.) for high cholesterol/triglycerides may need to supplement their diet with CoQ10, because those drugs inhibit it. CoQ10 should be avoided in people with liver failure, and avoided during pregnancy and nursing as not enough is known about its effects on mother and infant. Adverse effects of CoQ10 are rare, occurring in less than 1% of people, but they are: dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, photophobia (light sensitivity) and skin rash.

DOSAGE: No official standards have been established for the use of CoQ10. It is found in animal and vegetarian sources, in capsules, tablets and softgels. Average dosages for all of the above mentioned conditions ranged from 50-200 mg/day. Doses higher than 400 mg/day have not had adequate research yet. It generally takes 4-12 weeks to see results.

THE ENDLESS PRACTICE BECOMING WHO YOU WERE BORN TO BE

by Mark Nepo

M

ark Nepo is a poet, philosopher, cancer survivor and if you have read any of his books you probably will agree that he also is an extraordinarily gifted writer. There is just something profound about his writings. The closest thing I can point to, in my opinion anyway, is the depth of his authenticity. I believe that what makes his writings so popular is that it comes from a space that Mark has found within himself that is profoundly human and also mysterious more than human.

He has found the courage to look deeply within his own being and not turn away when it became uncomfortable to do so. There is, therefore, a transmission of sorts of that courage that comes across when you read his words. When you read words from someone who has mastered the ability to just be with those parts of life that are completely joyous as well as those parts that are extremely uncomfortable it tends to open that same capacity in you.

The thoughts, musings, stories and reflections in The Endless Practice are like precious jewels one might find on their own journey of their soul’s unfolding.

Here are a few excerpts: Coming Alive Every day, the heart keeps beating and the lungs keep breathing. Like-wise, the endless practice of bringing our soul into the world lets us keep unfolding. It’s a limitless journey of coming alive, which entails the messy, joyous, unfathomable drama of being human.

Like it or not, life keeps engaging us, asking that we follow what is real, until the 48

Palm Beach Edition

light of the soul is drawn out of us, and that we carry what is real, until the depth of the world grounds us. By real, I mean any moment met face-to-face and heart-to-heart, without pretense or illusion. When we can follow what moves us, we break open what is possible and the light of the soul spills out of us. When we’re moved to care and love, who we are extends into the world and we strengthen our roots.

Often, it’s our love of life that gives us the courage to follow what is real. And our love of others that gives us the courage to carry what is real. Of course, there’s no way to escape the need to do both: to let out the light of the soul and to let in the depth of the world. The challenge is to inhabit both

While we constantly struggle with achievement and failure, with our want for fame and our fear of anonymity, it’s the heartful commitment to be completely who we are – no more, no less – that awakens us to the full beauty and truth of being alive.

These chapters explore the ways in which we experience the light of the soul and the depth of the world. This is a journey of questions and stories that illuminate how we can inhabit the specific life we are given. Ultimately, each of us is an invaluable, irreplaceable seed in the ground of existence, each of us a small miracle waiting to blossom in the large miracle.

Little by Little I think the purpose of the human experience is for the soul to blossom in human form here on Earth. Little by little, the way a hundredth drop of water opens the seed, the rub of what is human against the days releases what is Divine. Within this journey, I prod some days like an ant so focused

napalmbeach.com

on the grain above my head that the next steps holds all of life, and I feel in the linage of slaves pushing the next stone up an unfinished pyramid. Then, without reason, life billows with an unearned ease I can’t describe. When it leaves, like a breeze of Spirit, I feel renewed and certain that God is in both the moment of lift and the moment of ease, in the moment of pain and after. So I’ve give up wishing for ease and running from pain. Everything on Earth moves by this inching between ease and pain. It’s how we grow. And praising both, surrendering to both, accepting both, is the work of love.

For the month of May I will be offering this book at Changing Times Books and Gifts at a 20% discount. It is my hope that you will come in and take a look at it for yourself.

Spell bottles were originally created to destroy the power of an evil magician or person thought to have cast a spell against the bottle's creator.

These consist of a container, usually glass, filled with various objects of magical potency. Spell bottles are made for a variety of purposes, and are used in numerous ways. Some are buried or otherwise hidden, while others are placed in windows of the home or in other prominent spots. All are concentrations of energy, created and empowered for specific magical purposes.

I found it — The Secret to Anti-Aging!

My cholesterol dropped by 73 points in 1 month, my husband’s morning blood sugar level dropped from 200 to 113 in 3 months, and we are feeling and looking so much YOUNGER! A few months ago, my husband’s blood sugars were out of control after years of controlling it with diet. And his skin had taken on a yellowish-grey pallor… which showed me that his liver and kidneys were also in serious trouble. I was scared!

A friend stopped by, took one look at Charles, and said, “We have to get him on the Micronized Heart of Royal Purple Rice immediately!” Although I had never heard of it, I quickly said, “Get me some now.” I am so grateful that I did!

Within 3 weeks his skin was pink and glowing and he was feeling so much better. I also began eating it and began noticing more energy, sounder sleep, and improved skin.

Kare & Charles Possick

It is so tiny and powerful that when you eat it … it does not even have to go through your digestive system — it can immediately go into the cells and energize them! Like tiny arrows, these highly charged alpha glucan chains of super nutrients can pierce cell walls and furnish the mitochondria (the cell’s battery) with fuel to create massive amounts of ATP Light Energy, so that the cells can recharge, regenerate, and function at the highest level.

Recharge, Repair, and Regenerate Your Cells

We had our blood tested and after eating this rice product for only a month, my cholesterol had dropped by 73 points! I had been taking several other natural supplements for two years to lower cholesterol to no avail, but after only one month my cholesterol dropped to normal, as did my triglycerides, and three other blood markers that had been way too high. My doctor was shocked. He said no drug would give me those quick and dramatic results!

And Charles, with several medical conditions, had 10 blood markers drop significantly! My doctor said he knew of nothing that could work like that across so many body systems! “Not drugs...but real foods,” I said.

The reason so many people who are eating well and taking good supplements are still sick is ... nutrition can’t get into the cell!

A recent medical study showed — more than 80% of the population is insulin resistant at some level That means that the sugars and nutrients we need for energy cannot get into the cells. (If a cell phone battery cannot be recharged — it powers down and eventually dies). If you are tired, and have dis-eases that have names … your cells are also powering down and dying.

When the sugars (polysaccharides) can’t get into your cells to be used for energy, they cause another problem, too. They float around your blood stream, sticking to proteins and fats—or “glycating”. Wherever they stick they cause problems … if they stick in the bloodstream they cause hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure, in the brain they cause learning and memory issues or dementia, in the eyes—cataracts, in the skin—wrinkles.

With my raw natural product you can recharge your cells and reverse the glycation and aging now!

What’s In This Product and How Does It Work?

Read What This Has Done For My Friends ...

The basis of the product is a ancient, heirloom strain of royal purple rice that is now grown in Thailand in a pristine valley that has never seen chemicals, pesticides, or GMO’s.

Then, the purple husk, which is extremely high in anthocyanin antioxidants, along with the very heart of the rice (the endosperm) is removed—this is the part that carries the super polysaccharide sugars and polypeptide amino acid building blocks. Everything else is discarded.

With only the dense nutrient rice heart left — this is then milled down to the size of a micron! That’s it—that is all that’s in this amazing raw natural product.

When I shared this with my friend, Bonnie, her body used the new cellular energy to reduce her blood pressure and smooth the wrinkles from her face. Nicole’s intense pain from an accident is gone and she is off her debilitating medications. Jeff is no longer experiencing acid reflux or gout. Dee Dee’s night blindness is gone and so are her allergies. Charles morning blood sugars have dropped from 200 to 113. I am looking so much younger that someone asked me if I had a ‘procedure’ done! Even my granddaughter’s dog has gotten rid of his digestive issues because of this product. So … would you like to see what this amazing food will do for you?

It takes 60 pounds of Royal Purple Rice to make ONE Pound of my product.

Call me (Kare) at: 727-798-8764 I’ll send you my FREE book, answer all your questions, and get this product on its way to you so you can begin anti-aging, too!
