TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE FROM ARTHRITIS, PARKINSON’S & OTHER NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES! More than 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease.

Untold millions more are living with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Strokes. If you or someone you love is suffering, there is help NOW at

The Center for Regenerative Medicine THE STEM CELL PROJECT Stem Cells are significantly improving the lives of people affected by neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. With over 17 years’ experience working with Stem Cell Technologies, the experts at the Center for Regenerative Medicine are enhancing the science of regenerative medicine and helping their patients take back their lives.

NON-SURGICAL ORTHOPAEDIC CARE THE KNEE DIARIES: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone-on-bone osteoarthritis of the left knee (Exhibit A) causing much pain and discomfort. Before visiting the Center he was told that only a total knee replacement could help him. Patient started treatment and, after a year, is feeling much better without the need for surgery and all of the aftermath associated with it (Exhibit B).

HOW IT WORKS Cell Therapy is introduced into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection, followed by infrared laser and other modalities to accelerate the process. After 1-6 treatments, depending on the tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint, patients’ conditions improve, typically going 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.

ot Works 8th annual Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ takes place January 28 & 29, 2017 in downtown Boca Raton. Voted top 100 art shows in America – up to 175 professional artists exhibit to sell his/her art in all discipline – paintings, sculpture, clay, glass, digital, jewelry, wood, fiber, photography, mixed media and more. All work is original and personally handmade by the artist who is at the show. The Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ is juried by professionals with 120+ combined years’ art show and/ or art education experience. Criteria for selecting the artists is based on originality, technique/execution and booth appearance. There is something for everyone, in all price ranges.

While at the show, if you enjoy someone’s work, feel free to introduce yourself to the artist who will be in his/her booth.

As you will see many original and unique art pieces, the artists would be happy to tell you more about his/her work and explain what inspires him/her to do what they do.

As part of our commitment to bring art education into the community, the Budding Artist Competition for students in grades 6-12 or ages 9-19 is integrated into the art fair. Sponsored by Institute for the Arts & Education™, the competition gives budding, young artists a golden opportunity to begin learning the rules of being part of a professional art show and exhibition. It exposes students to the entrepreneurship of creating his/her art for a living – doing something he/she loves to do, and, most

napalmbeach.com

importantly, how to do it. The art show provides these budding artists with an unmatched learning experience, and exposes families to artwork that they would not have otherwise seen.

The 2016 Budding Artist contest included 40 applications from 11 area schools. Painter Zaki Knapen was the Budding Artist judge. Criteria for judging youth art was based on similar criteria for judging the professional artist awards – which was technique/execution and originality. Zaki explained why he chose the winners, and provided professional consultation to the Budding Artists who inquired. Zaki said “If you do not win, and creating art is what you love to do, do not give up. Even the best artists never get accepted into all the art shows they would like to do, nor do they win prizes in all the art shows they participate. Congratulate those who did win.”

2016 Budding Artist winners: $100 Best Budding Artist Sarah Khambalia, Drawing, Age 16 Yeshiva High School $50 Budding Artist Awards of Excellence: Pierce Hermann, Photography, Age 16 Boca Raton Community High School Meir Lazar, Painting, Age 15 Yeshiva High School Jessica Pan, Drawing, Age 17 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Students in grades 6-12 or ages 9-19 are invited to enter his/her original art into

In addition to the great art, Potions in Motions, a local award-winning caterer will be featuring gourmet bites in the artist village, as well as craft beers and fine wines.

What a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in January!

newsbriefs Reducing the Risk of Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Patients

S

usan had only two lymph nodes removed from under her left arm during her mastectomy. However, after 30 radiation treatments and adjuvant chemotherapy, she began noticing tingling and numbness in the back of her arm. Her bra felt tight and she felt bloated and full, like she was gaining weight.

Susan was referred to me by her oncologist for lymphatic treatment and a better understanding of how to relieve these uncomfortable sensations. After receiving lymphatic drainage and self help education, Susan felt the tingling subside and the tenderness under her arm begin to disappear. She said she felt lighter, clearer and without that constant feeling of heaviness.

As a lymphatic drainage specialist, I often see survivors with the early signs of lymphedema who think it is a normal part of the discomfort following cancer recovery.

Many survivors are surprised by how simple it is to ward off the onset of accumulated fluids sometimes experienced after lymph node removal and be proactive about reducing the chance of active lymphedema.

What is Lymphedema?

Lymphedema is an often undiscussed side-effect from lymph node removal. Lymph (bodily fluid) + edema (swelling) is just as the compound word suggests abnormal swelling due to a backup of fluids caused by damage to the lymphatics. Removing lymph nodes and breast tissue from the body, while a common form of treatment for diagnosing and treating breast cancer, leaves the delicate balance of lymphatic system compromised.

The lymphatic vessels are obliged to absorb protein-rich fluid and waste products from body tissues and filter it through our lymph nodes thereby removing bacteria and foreign debris. This results in clarified fluids that nourish our blood and contribute to our immunity. In fact, thanks to the efficient job of your lymph nodes the cancer was contained and stored preventing further disruption to the body.

Imagine a coffee filter. If the filter was clogged or impeded in anyway – say with not enough holes to allow water to flow through it- than the water passing through the filter would slow down and result in a backup. If you have less lymph nodes or

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

missing or damaged tissue, the filter of that area of the body may be less efficient, like the clogged coffee filter. As a result, fluid can accumulate and become stuck or trapped around the area, most commonly the armpit, breast, side or arm of the affected area. This accumulated fluid is called lymphedema – a big word for a simple concept. It’s common to look for lymphedema in the affected arm or hand, however, with newer surgical procedures truncal edema is more common, creating an array of sensations at the surgical site, chest, along the rib cage and back.

A few important ways to ward off the onset of lymphedema is by receiving Lymphatic Drainage Therapy by a trained and experienced therapist, good nutrition, exercise and skin brushing as a form of self massage. What makes the lymphatic treatment so effective is how it can directly impact lymph flow by 1000 times!

Why does Lymphatic Drainage Therapy work?

Lymphatic Treatment or sometimes called manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a gentle, non-invasive hands on technique that stimulates the lymphatics by moving fluid away from the swollen areas toward the healthy regions. Unlike traditional massage, the therapist works to delicately move the skin, not muscles, in directions that follow lymphatic pathways and alternate ones so that accumulated lymph fluid can drain through the proper channels.

Each session lasts from 50 to 60 minutes, and sequential sessions are recommended for best results. Receiving a lymphatic massage session is a deeply peaceful and restful experience and provided by trained and experienced hands it can offer the added benefit of leaving a person feeling calm and centered.

How does Skin Brushing help?

In the book Natural Healing: The Total Health and Nutritional Program, Dr. Jack Soltanoff shares, “Dry brushing stimulates the glands, promoting their return to proper function and regenerating a sluggish lymphatic system. If they [patients] do dry brushing, their health is going to improve considerably.”

Dry skin brushing has been used by historical civilizations including the Native Americans, Chinese, Egyptians and the Scandinavians as a beauty and health practice. Practiced for centuries, some of the known health benefits include promoting proper blood circulation, stimulating and cleansing the lymphatic system, removing dead cells from skin and helping the body eliminate wastes and toxins.

When I was a spa therapist at PGA National Resort & Spa, it was protocol to dry brush the client's body before applying the healing seaweed product in order to stimulate the lymphatic system so that the benefits of the product could be better received and filtered through the body’s tissues. Years later, while working with the lymphatic effects in breast cancer survivors, it became clear to me that the body brushing strokes could mimic the lymphatic touch used in the treatment of lymphedema. I began to integrate skin brushing instruction and education in my treatment plan of care for my

patients. What I discovered was not only was it working but the simplicity and the idea of using a brush to take care of your arm at risk was a more transferable lifestyle practice than the traditional self-massage.

As one survivor commented, “The body brushing information is so important for women going through breast cancer. If I had found this information sooner, it would have made a huge impact on my recovery and actually would have helped me move forward faster after my cancer experience.”

By directly stimulating the lymph channels, brushing sets the direction for lymph flow gently stimulating lethargic tissue. It is also a great way to break up cellulite and exfoliate your skin. Most importantly, using the skin brushing tech-

nique as a daily practice for both treating the reduction of swelling and to ward off the onset of lymphedema enables women to support their own health and well being.

“My lymphatic massage was truly nurturing and a personal healing. To be so cared for through your touch helped melt away the trauma of the cancer experience.”

In over 20 years working with women’s bodies, I am continually awed by the resilience of breast cancer survivors who have faced this life-challenging disease.

My work at the Therapeutic Alternative and the Sari Center includes deeply listening and understanding the early signs of lymphedema and creating treatment

plans that help relieve the residual tissue swelling after their surgeries. A woman’s body deserves to be treated with a heartcentered and caring approach while also compassionately healing what the body has endured. I hope this information helps women reclaim their changed body and inspires their own efforts towards wellness.

newsbriefs Cosmos Ritual: Introduction to the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Shamanism

T

he Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT) is a Peruvian shamanic practice with cross-cultural applications. The PMT is a tradition rooted in the Peruvian spiritual methods of sacred relationship with the Earth.

During his apprenticeship in these traditions, founder don Oscar MiroQuesada was charged by his mentors to bring these Earth-honoring practices to the United States and the rest of the world. Don Oscar’s apprenticeship program is called The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal. Through this program one learns how to access new levels of consciousness as an effective means of self-transformation.

The spiritual technology available through the PMT provides a universal application to all areas of life, including–but not exclusive to-all possible demographic categories: age, gender, spiritual backgrounds, educational levels, professional experiences, and vocations.

Ritual and ceremony are vital aspects of our human inheritance. As a means of expanding awareness of the seen and the unseen realms-ritual and ceremony have the potential to help us make better decisions, engage more authentically and awaken a sense of the sacred. These shamanic arts restore harmony, health, and earth stewardship.

These teachings provide a comprehensive foundation as well as profound initiations through ceremony and prayer into the living heart and soul of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition.

Bringing this apprenticeship to Florida is Rev. Dr. Gary Langston (Red Bear Sees All Worlds). He has apprenticed deeply in the shamanic arts for over 22 years with Don Oscar Miro-Quesada as well as many consciousness teachers, indigenous healers and shamans from North and South America. Gary passionately shares this powerful and loving medicine with All Our Relations. For more information : 816-728-3963 www.AgapeHealingArts.com

Make your Life Golden

K

intsukuroi means “to repair with gold” in Japanese. It is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with a lacquer containing powdered gold or silver. The gleaming gold or silver illuminates the seams of the repair and the mended object is more beautiful for having been broken.

Here in the West we are likely to view that broken bowl as worthless and throw it away. When we do repair a favorite object, we usually try to make the repair as seamless and invisible as possible. In contrast, Japanese philosophy treats breakage and repair as part of the honorable history of an object—not something to disguise. It celebrates "brokenness," seeing it as an opportunity to increase its value.

As soon as I discovered this beautiful idea, I began to think about how I could apply it to my own life. At some point in every life, there have been events or experiences that left us feeling broken, physically or emotionally—as if the world had fallen apart around us. We may have felt like we couldn't go on—but we did.

And we do have a choice as to how we go on. We can become bitter and brittle. We can

feel worthless. We can deny our “wounds.”

Or we can acknowledge them and become stronger and more compassionate toward ourselves and others when they feel shattered.

We can use our challenges to discover how beautiful and valuable we are. We can trust in ourselves, have faith and gain wisdom. We can become healers–for ourselves and others.

“Healing yourself is connected with healing others.”- Yoko Ono

I’ve been very fortunate. I discovered my life’s mission as a Reflexologist when I was twenty. Reflexology made me feel whole again when I was tired and stressed. But it became more than a means for healing myself. I knew I wanted to give the same healing experience to others.

“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”

- Hippocrates

I studied reflexology and sought out every opportunity to learn more. There was little information available about it at the time, but I read every reflexology book I could find. I began to do reflexology sessions for friends and family members. Before long, I was practicing reflexology full-time. Then I began to teach it to others.

First I taught informally, but in time I created a Reflexology Certification Training

Program to inspire others to share the power of reflexology. Over the last forty years, I have trained thousands of Reflexologists who have touched the soles/souls of many thousands more.

“Nothing is so healing as the human touch.” -Bobby Fischer

Reflexology is the gold that has filled the seams of many lives, making each of them more beautiful and rewarding.

Each person’s path to wholeness is unique, just as each piece of broken pottery repaired with kintsukuroi is one of a kind. We can only realize our full human potential by understanding that it is both our fragility and our resilience in the face of life's challenges that makes us beautiful.

newsbriefs Depression – Healing Without Medications

I

n the last decade, the percentage of Americans prescribed antidepressant medications has doubled, with no appreciable improvement in the incidence of depression overall. Sadly, up to two-thirds of those people given antidepressants have never even met the criteria for severe depression, and other studies have shown that the efficacy of these drugs is less than that of placebo (which means they don’t really work). Exercise alone is known to cure depression better than antidepressant medications. We have all been sold on the idea that depression is a disease, but the truth is that depression is really a symptom of a greater imbalance in the body-mind. Since the brain lives within the environment of the body, an unhealthy body (or unbalanced body chemistry) will sometimes manifest as symptoms in the nervous system and brain.

When we are open to seeing depression as a symptom of a deeper problem, it’s easy to understand why it often accompanies heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, gut issues, and problems related to a woman’s menstrual cycle, just to name a few. Depression is really the canary in the coalmine pointing out another serious

imbalance that needs to be addressed.

Unfortunately, most people just end up with a script for an antidepressant, which brings its own side effects and just throws their system off balance even further. This over-prescribing can even cause more problems than it’s intended to fix.

The current hypothesis regarding the causes and treatment for depression that focuses on serotonin is false. In reality, there are many different ways that a person might develop a chemical imbalance which leads to depression, including nutritional, hormonal, and genetic differences. But very few people are addressing these true causes. In my practice, I help people identifies these differences and then help heal them with diet and micronutrient supplements. Once their systems are balanced, patients have resolution of their symptoms and also find that their entire metabolism and health improves. Because this helps prevent other illnesses and conditions from developing in the future, it quickly becomes cost-effective for the patient.

Common, but often overlooked issues resulting in depression are underactive thyroid or poor production of hormones.

These too are often the body-mind’s re-

sponse to an existing imbalance in the system which can be corrected addressing a person’s diet and lifestyle. Often a person is unaware of genetic variations that make it more difficult to either absorb or activate certain vitamins and minerals from their food. So even if they have a healthy diet, they may not be getting the proper building blocks into their cells where it needs to be.

This can be easily identified with simple blood tests or genetic testing, and then recommendations can be personalized for the individual.

Most people also have a significant amount of stress directly causing chronic inflammation which poisons the brain with natural substances that feed depression.

Because of this, any treatment for depression is incomplete without a focus on stressors and a person’s ability to eliminate or adapt to them. Alternative therapies such as meditation, acupuncture, Reiki, and spinal manipulation can all be very important adjuncts to depression treatment.

Because I have helped people resolve their depression (and anxiety, OCD, cognitive impairment & dementia, hormone imbalances, and PCOS) with a combination of diet, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and bio-identical hormones, I believe strongly that living a life in balance leads to true health. This eliminates the needs for most pharmaceutical medications and helps people live the healthy and happy lives that they deserve.

Madeleine M Castellanos, MD is a holistic psychiatrist who found functional medicine while studying ways to heal herself from her own challenges after a surgical menopause. She passionately brings that knowledge to her practice in Boca Raton, providing functional medicine consults to address a wide range of conditions.

Nia, The Joy of Movement

Boo! To-Do

N

ia entered my life in 2007, when I was seeking a way to heal my body and spirit.

As a hospice social worker, I routinely asked caregivers what they do for themselves. One day the answer came back, "I do Nia!" "What's Nia?" I asked. After hearing about it, I devoured the website and found the only Nia instructor in my area.

Traditional fitness classes would leave me either exhausted or in pain due to challenges with my joints. I walked into class not knowing what to expect. The instructor greeted me then said, "Let's step in. Prepare to be present in the moment. Listen to your body. Observe how you feel." (The music began) "Everybody sense your feet." I moved and sensed every part of my body. After my first class, I was hooked and knew in my bones that this would be transformational. And it has been. I trained as a Nia instructor after retiring from social work and moving to Florida. Now practicing Nia is how I take care of myself. I am grateful I can teach others to do the same.

Nia was created by fitness experts Debbie and Carlos Rosas over 30 years ago in California. They set out to create a path to fitness that addressed the body's way of moving, with the belief that exercise should feel good, inside and out. What they developed was the first fusion-fitness practice incorporating Eastern and Western movement forms. Today there are more than 2,600 instructors in 51 countries.

Nia is a non-impact cardio-dance, movement practice that incorporates the dance arts, martial arts and healing arts. It provides a holistic workout for your body, mind and spirit by creating a barefoot, moving meditation with soul-stirring music. In a Nia class you will learn to move your body's way, while developing strength, stamina, balance and flexibility. Nia empowers people of all shapes and sizes to find health, wellness and fitness by listening to their body through sensation.

Join us to experience the Joy of Movement with Nia. "Let's step in!"

Join the Safer Halloween Movement Halloween can be safe, economical and eco-friendly fun.

Crusader costumes remain popular this year, but with a tutu twist. Avoid long skirts or capes that can trip up children and instead recycle a princess tulle skirt from a thrift shop into a shorter frock. T-shirt tops with a superhero logo plus a painted cardboard headpiece transforms kids into do-gooders. Homemade natural face paints are another alternative (see Tinyurl.com/ Trick-Treat-Tips).

Treats should also be eco-friendly. Equal Exchange offers fair trade, organic and kosher low-fat chocolates from crops grown by small farmers in the Dominican Republic and Peru, shipped in a quantity big enough to split the cost with friends (Shop.EqualExchange.coop/chocolate.html). Nut-free, homemade trail mix, wrapped in eco-friendly tissue paper or a square of cloth tied shut, provides a welcome change from sweets.

In 2014, the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) organization launched the Teal Pumpkin Project. Place a downloadable sign in a window to announce that non-food, Earth-friendly treats are offered at the house for kids with allergies or food sensitivities (Tinyurl.com/TealHalloweenPumpkins).

actionalert Voter Beware Vote No on Amendment 1

A

mendment 1 on Florida's November ballot is deceptive and anti-solar. Backed by monopoly utilities seeking to stifle solar power and keep Floridians captive power consumers, it is bankrolled by Florida’s big power companies and groups supporting fossil fuels. “Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice may sound great for solar in Florida, but take heed. Amendment 1 will do the opposite of promoting solar,” says Susan Glickman, Florida director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.

Why voters should say no to Amendment 1: The language of the amendment sounds appealing, but won’t grant Floridians any new rights. Floridians already have the right to own or lease solar equipment on their property to generate electricity for their own use.

It will change the Florida Constitution to include a presumption that non-solar customers somehow “subsidize” solar customers. No empirical evidence supports this. Power companies should not have constitutional protections to punish Florida residents with charges if they install solar.

It will be used by power companies to attack Florida’s net metering rule, which currently allows customers to receive credit for generating solar power, as well as sending their excess energy back to the grid. This policy is key to making the economics of solar work.

Power companies object because it allows Floridians to generate their own power and pay less on their electric bills.

“Take note that Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente called Amendment 1 a wolf in sheep’s clothing, masquerading as a pro-solar energy initiative,” notes Glickman.

WHAT VOTERS WILL SEE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT: Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice This amendment establishes a right under Florida’s constitution for consumers to own or lease solar equipment installed on their property to generate electricity for their own use. State and local governments shall retain their abilities to protect consumer rights and public health, safety and welfare, and to ensure that consumers who do not choose to install solar are not required to subsidize the costs of backup power and electric grid access to those who do.

“Vote no to this utility-backed solar petition and stop big monopoly utilities from choking off rooftop solar and keeping a stranglehold on customers by preventing them from generating their own power,” advises Glickman.

Acupuncture Eases Hot Flashes

Medical Errors Cause 250,000 Deaths a Year

esearchers from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center tested 209 women between 45 and 60 years old with a history of hot flashes and/or night sweats. After up to 20 treatments over six months, the women receiving acupuncture reported a 37 percent reduction in hot flashes, while the control group saw a 6 percent increase. The symptom relief among the women treated with acupuncture persisted for a year.

The researchers also found that the acupuncture group experienced an improvement in several menopausal quality of life measurements.

Nancy Avis, Ph.D., a professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest University and lead author of the study, says, “There are a number of nonhormonal options for treating hot flashes and night sweats that are available to women. None seem to work for everyone, but our study showed that acupuncture from a licensed acupuncturist can help some women without any side effects.

It also showed that the maximum benefit occurred after about eight treatments.”

Vitamin D3 Boosts Gut Health

R

esearch from Austria’s University of Graz has found that high-dose vitamin D significantly alters the gut’s microbiome for the better. The researchers tested 16 healthy people for eight weeks, giving them a dose of 980 international units (IU) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight. At this rate, a 150-pound person would take more than 66,000 IU per day.

The scientists took samples from the stomach, small intestines, colon and stool before and after the testing period. They also tested for bacteria species using gene sequencing and measured T-cell counts. Afterward, the subjects showed reductions in disease-producing bacteria and increased diversity among their gut probiotics.

The research also discovered that the high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation increased immunity in the gut. “Vitamin D3 modulates the gut microbiome of the upper gastrointestinal tract, which might explain its positive influence on gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease or bacterial infections,” the researchers explain.

new study from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine reports that preventable medical errors are killing far more people than previously thought. The research estimates that a quartermillion Americans die every year as a result of medical errors, constituting the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. This is a substantial increase from the 98,000 deaths from medical errors reported in a 1999 study from the Institute of Medicine, now the National Academy of Medicine.

Lead researcher and Professor of Surgery at Johns Hopkins Dr. Martin Makary clarifies that medical errors include mistakes by doctors, along with systemic problems related to communication breakdowns when patients are passed between departments.

“It boils down to people dying from the care that they receive, rather than the disease for which they are seeking care,” he observes.

One of the problems highlighted is a lack of public reporting. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not require hospital-error reporting in deaths, which makes it difficult to accumulate related statistics. “The CDC should update reporting requirements for vital statistics so that physicians report whether there was any error that led to a preventable death,” says Makary. “We all know how common it is and how infrequently it’s openly discussed.”

Dr. Frederick van Pelt, with the healthcare consultancy Chartis Group, says that severe injuries resulting from medical errors are also often overlooked. “Some estimates would put this number at 40 times the death rate.” He indicates that this gets buried in the milieu of expected suffering and pain that care providers are daily exposed to following any surgical procedure. welcomia/Shutterstock.com

Senior Joggers Enjoy Youthful Metabolic Rate

S

goodluz/Shutterstock.com

cientists from the University of Colorado have determined that individuals older than 65 that run three times a week will likely burn oxygen at the same rate as a 20-year-old runner. Despite being more than four decades older, these runners spend a similar amount of metabolic energy as their younger counterparts.

Published in the American College of Sports Medicine journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the study tested 15 older and 15 younger runners. Each ran a minimum of three times a week for at least 30 minutes each time during the prior six months.

The subjects were tested on a specialized treadmill that measured the force applied to the running belt. Each person ran for five minutes during each test at different speeds between 4.5 and 6.5 miles per hour. Regardless of running mechanics and technique, the older runners utilized their metabolic energy at a similar rate as the young runners at all speeds.

“Our prior research suggests that the muscles themselves are becoming less efficient. I think of it as your body is like a car. Your body has its own fuel efficiency, and what we’ve seen is that the fuel efficiency in muscles is reduced in older adults that are sedentary or only walk occasionally,” says lead researcher and Professor of Kinesiology Justus Ortega.

Diabetics Improve Using Sesame and Rice Bran Oils

R

Lusie Lia/Shutterstock.com

esearch published in the American Journal of Medicine found that treating people with a blend of cold-pressed sesame oil and rice bran oil significantly normalizes blood glucose levels. Testing involved 400 men and women for eight weeks, including 300 that had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, by replacing cooking oils in their diet with a blend of sesame and rice bran oil.

The researchers, from Japan’s Fukuoka University and India’s Council of Medical Research, divided the patients into four groups. For two months, 100 healthy people and 100 Type 2 diabetes patients replaced their cooking oils with the sesame/rice bran blend, another 100 Type 2 diabetes patients were treated with five milligrams per day of the diabetes drug glibenclamide (glynase in the U.S.) and the remaining 100 Type 2 diabetes patients were treated with a combination of the same dosage of glibenclamide, along with consuming the sesame/rice bran oil blend over the two-month period.

After four weeks and eight weeks, the researchers found the diabetes patients that consumed the oil blend had significant reductions in fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels. They also had lower levels of glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) and improved high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“good” cholesterol). Those treated with the diabetes drug without consuming the oil blend showed none of the same improvements.

Sweat Can Transfer Happiness

R

esearch published in Psychological Science, the journal of the Association for Psychological Science, has found that positive moods can be transferred from one person to another via human sweat. The scientists from Utrecht University, in the Netherlands, tested 12 young men and 36 young women. The men were given clean shirts and absorbent pads were attached to their armpits while they watched video clips that induced several emotional states—fear, happiness or neutral. The researchers then stored the absorbent pads for each emotion into sealed jars.

The 36 women were then tested with each of the absorbent pads randomly, with five-minute breaks inbetween. They placed their chins on a special rest that held the absorbent pad underneath. The research was doubleblind, so neither the researchers nor subjects knew which pads they were exposed to. During each exposure, the women’s facial expressions were recorded. The researchers determined that the women had facial expressions reflecting the emotion induced by the videos the men watched, based on the activity of the women’s facial muscles.

Senior researcher Gün Semin, of Utrecht University, says, “Our study shows that being exposed to sweat produced under happiness induces a simulacrum of happiness in receivers and induces a contagion of the emotional state. This suggests that somebody that’s happy will infuse others in their vicinity with happiness. In a way, happiness sweat is somewhat like smiling— it’s infectious.”

Green Crisis

One in Five Plant Species May Face Extinction

Cherries/Shutterstock.com

A new report from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK, has issued the first comprehensive assessment of plant life, the inaugural State of the World’s Plants, and found that one in five plants may be at risk of extinction due to invasive species, disease and changing landscapes.

Researchers also have determined that just 30,000 plant species have a documented use out of hundreds of thousands of known species. These are only the vascular plants that have specialized tissue for sucking up water through their systems.

Over the years, different people and agencies have identified the same plant at both different times and locations, so they may have accumulated multiple names.

The Kew researchers determined that each plant in the International Plant Names Index had, on average, 2.7 different species names. By cutting out the duplicates from more than a million different names, the Kew report was able to pare down the known species to 391,000.

In the Arctic, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a doomsday bank buried in the side of a mountain, contains more than 800,000 samples representing 5,100 different crops and their relatives.

Ari Jónsson, a 32-year-old student at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, has invented an all-natural water bottle that holds its shape when full and decomposes when empty. He debuted his creation at the DesignMarch 2016 festival in Reykjavík, Iceland.

The only two materials needed to create the bottle are agar, a gelatinous substance that comes from red algae, and water.

“I just followed the path in what I was researching, trying to find new ways to use materials,” says Jónsson, who combined the two ingredients, heated the mixture, poured it into a mold, and then quickly cooled it. The H2O binds and thickens the agar when cooled, retaining the shape of the water bottle mold, explains Jónsson. When the finished bottle is empty, “It will rot like other foods.”

The bottles can sustainably decompose in soil, although Jónsson has yet to determine exactly how long that process will take. A plastic water bottle takes more than 1,000 years to biodegrade, and in the U.S., more than 2 million tons of the containers are languishing in landfills.

Bright Idea

Incandescent Lights Reinvented as Eco-Friendly petrmalinak/Shutterstock.com

Older incandescent light bulbs have been phased out in many countries because they waste huge amounts of energy as heat, but scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have reported in Nature Nanotechnology that they are finding a way to recycle the waste energy and focus it back onto the filament, where it’s re-emitted as visible light. Their innovative structure is made from thin, stacked layers of a type of light-controlling crystal that allows visible wavelengths to pass through while reflecting infrared back to the filament as if striking a mirror.

Traditional bulbs are banned in the European Union and Canada, and their manufacture and importation are being phased out in the U.S. They’ve been replaced by more expensive compact fluorescent (CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which are significantly more efficient. In theory, the crystal structures could boost the efficiency of incandescent bulbs to 40 percent, making them three times more efficient than the best available LED and CFL bulbs.

EPA Helps Schools Cut Bus Emissions The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is helping finance the replacement or retrofitting of older school buses in public and private school fleets to reduce diesel emissions and improve air quality. Owners can install catalysts and ventilation systems to reduce emissions by up to 25 percent or replace older buses with newer ones that meet the latest highway emission standards. The EPA will pay up to $25,000 each, depending on the size.

“Our kids spend a lot of time on the school bus, and buses spend a lot of time in our neighborhoods and schoolyards. They are a national symbol of safety,” says Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for the EPA Office of Air and Radiation. “Significantly improving school bus fleets across the country with retrofits, replacements and idle reduction practices is imperative in meeting the agency’s goal of reducing children’s exposure to air toxins.”

October is Non-GMO Month

The Non GMO Project is sponsoring National Non-GMO Month in October. Observed since 2010, the program seeks to increase education and awareness about the growing presence of unlabeled genetically modified (GM/GMO) food products and ingredients.

People and organizations across North America are discovering the risks GMOs pose to our health, families and environment. Non-GMO Month provides a powerful opportunity to coordinate voices and actions around the country as brands, retailers and individuals stand up for the right to know what’s in our food and to choose to avoid GMOs. Protecting consumer choice and a non-GMO food supply requires a multifaceted approach with online and boots-on-the-ground teamwork.

Monsanto, the U.S.-based, multinational producer of agricultural products infamous for its controversial Roundup herbicide, will be “sued” for crimes against humanity in the independent International Criminal Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, on World Food Day, October 16.

Plaintiffs include the Organic Consumers Association, International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, Navdanya, Regeneration International, and Millions Against Monsanto, along with dozens of global food, farming and environmental justice groups.

The court, developed in 2011, will use the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to assess damages for Monsanto’s acts against humans and the environment. The court will also attempt to reform international criminal law to include crimes against the environment, or ecocide, as a prosecutable criminal offense. It has determined that prosecuting ecocide as a criminal offense is the only way to guarantee the rights of humans to a healthy environment and the right of nature to be protected.

Meeting Basic Needs Komal Ahmad was unaware that her single act of kindness in simply offering to share her lunch with a homeless veteran in 2011 while she was attending the University of California, Berkeley, would lead to Komal Ahmad a multiplying mission to feed America’s hungry. His heartfelt expression of gratitude for his first meal in three days sparked an epiphany: Her school was regularly throwing away thousands of pounds of food while neighbors were going hungry.

Today, Ahmad is the founder and CEO of Copia, an app that matches nonprofits serving in-need veterans, children, women and others with companies that have leftover gourmet food. Following the 2016 Super Bowl, she used Copia’s technology to organize food pickups throughout the San Francisco Bay area.

His collaborative research in 2012 while in Cuba on a people-to-people exchange accompanied by fellow musicians and River North Dance Chicago’s Artistic Director Frank Chaves (now retired) proved to be a multifaceted boon.

It generated the philharmonic’s Havana Blue live performance in 2013 and ignited a weeklong cultural exchange with Cuba’s Universidad Ciudad de las Artes (ISA) during his return trip

for the Havana International Jazz Festival in 2014. President Barak Obama’s announcement of the normalization of Cuban/U.S. diplomatic relations opened up the possibility for a continuing CJP/ ISA relationship, as well as their 2015 landmark partnered event when 37 ISA students traveled to Chicago to perform Scenes from Life: Cuba at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Davis promises more such events to come.

All of these individuals represent a small percentage of the game-changers actively moving to create an alternative future. Estés observes, “What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts; adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group that will not give up during the first, second or hundredth gale.”

hiropractic care corrects spinal alignment abnormalities as a means of treating a wide range of health problems. Addressing skeletal and muscular disorders and relieving pain are just the beginning. Research studies reported in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics and the journal of healing science Explore have found chiropractic beneficial in treating connective tissue abnormalities, infant lactose intolerance and even autism.

More than $13 billion is spent annually on chiropractic health services, making it the largest alternative health practice in the U.S. Science supports its usefulness in addressing a wide range of conditions.

Bell’s Palsy. Recovery varies among patients as chiropractors create patientcentric treatment programs designed to improve facial motion and hearing, relieve pain and address other nerve-related issues (Archives of Internal Medicine; Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

A Canadian survey of chiropractors has

napalmbeach.com

reported success in using spinal manipulation to relieve IBD, colitis and other bowel disorders (Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology).

Cancer. The Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine publishes numerous studies of therapies supporting cancer patients suffering the side effects of conventional treatment. The American Journal of Clinical Oncology reports that chiropractic care rates as one of the leading alternative medical treatments for pain management, among other related benefits. Chiropractic offers economical and effective strategies that may help quality of life, as discussed in Seminars in Oncology Nursing.

High Blood Pressure. While many relevant studies can’t yet generalize results, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics documents success by chiropractors treating hypertension without the downside of medical drugs that can include the risk of stroke (University of Alabama at Birmingham).

Chronic Sinusitis. Patients with

nasal and sinus passages that don’t drain properly due to physical or nerve-related causes may find relief through chiropractic care. A study cited in the same journal showed that patients experienced relief of all related symptoms after a single adjustment.

Arthritis. A study published in a journal from the the University of Virginia School of Medicine Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies notes that arthritis patients obtaining chiropractic care enjoyed better health and quality of life than those that did not.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). In clinical studies, combining manual spinal adjustment with soft tissue therapy has been found to relieve PMS discomfort.

In one study, two groups of women were tested, switching off in receiving chiropractic adjustments or a placebo alternative. Each time, the group receiving chiropractic adjustments reported the greatest improvements (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A study published in Explore suggests that chiropractic care combined with other holistic elements such as appropriate nutrition may provide a more gentle, yet effective approach than conventional psychotropic drugs. It employed chiropractic treatment for boys 9 to 13 years old diagnosed with ADHD. Spinal manipulation with nutritional supplementation was reported to improve hyperactivity, inattentiveness, impulsiveness and behavioral, social and emotional difficulties.

Headaches. Based on recent studies, spinal manipulation has proven effective against migraines and headaches originating from the neck. Manual therapy of the spine, along with neck exercises, promotes improvement in patients with neck-related headaches. Side effects are rare and minor (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics).

Dr. Edward Group is CEO and co-founder of the Global Healing Center, in Houston, TX (GlobalHealingCenter.com). He is a doctor of chiropractic trained in naturopathy, herbals and clinical nutrition; author of The Green Body Cleanse; and a diplomate of the American Board of Functional Medicine.

n archetypal labyrinth gently leads us in a circular path inward toward a center and then back out again. Found in ancient cultures from African, Celtic and Greek to Native American, they became especially popular fixtures in Medieval European churches; one of the most renowned is in France’s Chartres Cathedral.

Depictions of labyrinths have been included in paintings, pottery, tapestries and in Hopi baskets as a sacred symbol of Mother Earth. Several American tribes saw the pattern as a medicine wheel.

Celts may have regarded it as a neverending knot or circle. While some of the oldest known labyrinths decorate cave walls in Spain, today they grace diverse locations ranging from spas and wellness centers to parks, gardens, university campuses and even prisons.

napalmbeach.com

“Labyrinths can be outdoors or indoors. Permanent labyrinths may be made of stones, rocks, bricks or inlaid stones. Temporary labyrinths can be painted on grass or made with all sorts of things for a particular purpose or appropriate to a specific cause,” explains Diane Rudebock, Ed.D., resource vice president and research chair of the Labyrinth Society, in Trumansburg, New York.

“Walking a labyrinth is useful for those that sometimes have a hard time being outwardly still and drawing themselves inward. You must move your body, and because you’re focused on the path while you’re walking it, it’s easier to drop wholly into the journey and let go of all else,” says Anne Bull, of Veriditas, a Petaluma, California, nonprofit that supports new labyrinth designs to suit the spiritual needs of

hospitals, schools and retreat centers.

The group also sponsors a worldwide directory at LabyrinthLocator.com.

Individual Approaches

A labyrinth walk typically involves three stages. The first is for releasing extraneous thoughts on the way to the center.

Upon arriving in the stillness of that point, the participant opens heart and mind to receive whatever message or wisdom is intended for them. The return path is the integration phase, to make a fresh insight our own.

Participants should approach their walk in different ways: One may have a specific question or intention in mind; another may be open to whatever occurs during their meditation; yet another may repeat a meditative mantra. One might even choose to bypass the path entirely in order to sit contemplatively at its center. Unlike a maze, it’s impossible to lose our way with the circular path serving as a simple and reliable guide.

Although scientific research on

labyrinth meditation has been limited to participant questionnaires, future studies may incorporate the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging technology to measure brain activity and record what individuals experience. Labyrinths located in settings like hospitals and prisons lend themselves to such research, says Rudebock. As a Veriditas-certified labyrinth facilitator, she conducts workshops and observes, “Walks are unique to each individual and may not produce uniform or replicable results.”

At its core, the experience is about listening to our truest self, away from the cacophony of modern life. “I believe that the world needs places where our souls can be quiet,” remarks Jean Richardson, director of the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center, in Bangor, Pennsylvania, which includes a seven-circuit labyrinth. “Retreat centers and labyrinths are places where we can listen to our inner heart, feel our inner calling and tap into our own divine nature. I think deep listening is not always valued in a world

where we are rewarded for being busy and keeping our schedules full.”

Nearby Opportunities

Today, labyrinths—indoor, outdoor, natural, urban, secular and religious— are found in or near many communities. Following the lead of California’s Golden Door Spa, in Escondido, which pioneered the use of a labyrinth in a spa setting, many spas now incorporate them in their wellness or mindfulness programs.

Labyrinthine invitations to a mindfulness practice are open to everyone.

“A labyrinth can bridge all beliefs, faiths, religions and walks of life,” says Bull. “You can walk a labyrinth no matter what you believe. Benefits come in walking it with an open mind and open heart.”

Born to Eat Wild Why Ancestral Diets Boost Health

by Judith Fertig

I

n The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, Michael Pollan surmised that we’d be healthier if we ate the way our great-grandparents did. It would mean sticking to regularly scheduled meals instead of impulsive snacking, having a meat or protein item comprise only a quarter of our plate, adding fresh vegetables and eliminating junk food.

We must look further back than our immediate ancestors, counters Jo Robinson, a food journalist who surveyed more than 6,000 scientific research studies before writing her bestselling Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health. She has also co-authored several other books, including The Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the Island of Crete.

Narrowed Field of Foods

“Many believe we have dumbed down the nutrition in our food over the past 100 years,” says Robinson, who lives and gardens on Vashon Island, Washington. “Research shows we have been breeding out proteins and minerals and most importantly, antioxidants, for much longer.”

She points out that the hunter-gatherer diet encompassed many wild foods that tasted more bitter, astringent, sour and earthy than the sweet blandness in today’s fruits and vegetables. Wild foods offered a wider variety of phytonutrients, but came at a cost—the time required to hunt and gather enough food for a day, let alone a season.

“Then, 12,000 years ago, we had a better idea—gardening,” says Robinson. “We evolved to 20 varieties in a garden versus 150 in wild plants.” First, farmers chose sweet, starchy, mild-tasting, oil-rich foods such as figs, dates and olives. “We’re hard-wired to choose high-calorie foods because they’re directly connected to 36

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

the pleasure centers of the brain,” she adds.

After that, the trend to grow sweeter-tasting, less nutritious plants snowballed. Robinson cites research that found adding one Golden Delicious apple to the daily diet of a small group of overweight men led to higher levels of undesirable lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides due to its high-fructose content and low levels of antioxidants (International Journal of Preventive Medicine).

Wilder Options Even organic farming methods, in which the soil is naturally enriched, can’t return all those lost nutrients to our food. Rather than advocate that we return to eating wild foods, Robinson suggests finding wild equivalents. Even those that follow a paleo diet—presumably eaten by early humans and consisting chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, excluding dairy, grain products and commercially processed items—could use further refinements in the produce they choose. She recommends specific varieties of fruits and vegetables and explains the benefits of “wild” foods such as meat, eggs and dairy from livestock and poultry fed on grass on her website, EatWild.com.

We can make smarter choices, seeking wilder-type varieties of foods at the grocery store, farmers’ market and garden seed companies. In general, they are more vividly colored, especially from red to purple, and less sweet. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables indicate a botanical sunscreen the plant produces to protect itself from ultraviolet light and other external threats, notes Robinson; it’s an indication of a higher antioxidant activity.

“Find as many purple foods as possible because they have anthocyanins, known to fight cancer and inflammation,” suggests Robinson. “The original carrot from Afghanistan is purple. It’s only been orange for the past 400 years when it was bred to salute the royal House of Orange, in the Netherlands.”

According to Robinson, we can also prepare our foods in ways that maximize their phytonutrient content. Eat freshpicked asparagus and broccoli immediately or their natural sugars and antioxidants disappear. Let chopped or pressed garlic sit for 10 minutes before using so its pungent allicin—the healthy compound that benefits our health—will increase. Tear fresh lettuce the day before eating and keep it fresh in a plastic bag with poked holes, to allow the still-living lettuce to rally its healthy compounds as if its battered leaves were repelling an insect attack.

This emerging science of polyphenols, the technical term for phytonutrients in our food, will be explosive, predicts this pioneering research-based author. “There’s a new study just about every month,” she finds. It can all lead toward breeding and growing more nutritious foods that are more readily accessible to everyone.

“

he old way of thinking about fruits and vegetables is ‘the more, the better,’ regardless of what you choose,” says wild food expert Jo Robinson. “Unfortunately, the most popular ones are the least nutritious, like Golden Delicious apples and supersweet corn.”

In Eating on the Wild Side, Robinson cites considerable research that shows we can make better choices within each food category by simply selecting varieties closer to their wild ancestors. Generally, the most phytonutrient-rich options include kale, spinach, lettuces, asparagus and artichokes. Here are other top tips from the literature.

wisewords Edward Humes on the High Cost of Transportation Small Consumer Choices Have Big Impacts

by Randy Kambic

E

dward Humes investigates the origins and impacts of the expensive and complex process that brings us everyday products and items in his new book Door to Door: The Magnificent, Maddening, Mysterious World of Transportation. His latest work, which also covers our love affair with cars, is popularizing the eco-conscious term, “transportation footprint”. Aligned with this, he recommends a move to driverless cars to save lives and fuel.

In an earlier book, Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash, the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Southern California journalist examined the causes and effects of waste. Solutions are showcased by how institutions and families are consciously reducing their wasteful ways.

What are some everyday impacts of the “door-todoor machine” you write about?

Transportation is embedded in our lives, both in our personal things and our travel. It can take 30,000 miles to get our morning coffee to the kitchen, with another 165,000 miles attached to all the components of the coffee pot, water, energy and packaging—a worldwide mix involving trains, planes, boats and trucks. Unprecedented amounts of transportation are embedded in everything we do and touch, with many hidden costs to our environment, economy and traffic.

Take the world of online retailing. That “buy it now” button seems so convenient, but it’s also a traffic jam generator. Each click births a new truck trip. What used to be a single truckload of goods delivered efficiently to a store or mall now demands hundreds of single-item deliveries to far-flung homes.

Which transportation footprint surprised you the most in researching Door to Door?

The smartphone is a paradox, in that it has reduced our transportation footprint in some ways because of all the separate devices it has replaced, from navigation in cars to calculators to cameras. Phones also empower a transportation-free option for online banking and bill paying, eliminating all sorts of trips in

38

the physical world.

On the flip side, making and assembling smartphone components requires a lot of back-and-forth transport between many countries because no one can make the whole “widget”.

With its many raw materials, rare earth minerals and manufactured components, we’re talking about an overall transportation footprint for one phone that’s equivalent to a round trip to the moon; a phone that users will trade in for a newer model in just a few years.

What’s a particularly negative impact of the huge distances involved in today’s movement of goods?

Cargo container ships create immense amounts of pollution.

About 6,000 container ships worldwide ship 90 percent of consumer goods. Natural Resources Defense Council data show that the smog and particulate emissions from just 160 of these vessels equal that of all of the cars in the world. If the cargo fleet were a country, its carbon emissions would exceed Germany’s, the world’s fourth-largest economy, according to the European Commission. Cargo ship carbon emissions are projected to rise to about 18 percent of the global total in the next 25 years if our appetite for goods continues to grow at current rates.

What are the consequences of the U.S. ranking 16th worldwide in infrastructure quality?

Americans are under the illusion that we pay high taxes to build and maintain roads, bridges and rails. However, as a portion of our gross domestic product, we invest about one-fifth of what China does and the poor results are apparent. We have a $3.6 trillion backlog in needed modernization. This drags down the economy and increases harmful emissions through shipping delays and rush-hour jams, as well as raising road safety concerns.

How can we each lessen our “transportation footprint”?

We have power as individuals, families and communities to make a difference. Americans walk less than almost any other people on Earth. A Los Angeles study showed that half of its residents’ daily trips are less than three miles, with many under one mile, which is crazy. Using alternative transportation for just 10 percent of those trips would have major positive impacts. Far fewer children walk or bike to school than in the recent past, even as we face a youth obesity crisis. We can also adjust when and how we drive; half the cars on the road during rush hour are not job-related. Driving at other times would ease traffic for everyone and reduce traffic jams, emissions and crashes.

All of this is something we could easily change—and that many other countries have changed—with substantial health, economic and traffic benefits.

How Healthy is Your Hair?

rom learning to communicate to physically caring for each other, the secret lives of trees are wildly deep and complex.

“They can count, learn and remember; nurse sick neighbors; warn each other of danger by sending electrical signals across a fungal network known as the ‘wood wide web’; and keep the ancient stumps of longfelled companions alive for centuries by feeding them a sugar solution through their roots,” reveals Peter Wohlleben, a German forest ranger and author of The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate—Discoveries from a Secret World, released in September.

Upon seeing two soaring beeches in the forest, Wohlleben observes, “These trees are friends. See how the thick branches point away from each other? That’s so they don’t block their buddy’s light. Sometimes, pairs are so interconnected at the roots that when one tree dies, the other one dies, too.”

Wohlleben is rekindling a re-imagination of trees even as many people consider their role is only to supply us with oxygen and wood. Using a mix of scientific research and his own observations from studying forestry and working in the forest since 1987, the man who speaks for the trees does so in decidedly anthropomorphic terms.

“Scientific language removes all the

napalmbeach.com

emotion, and people don’t understand it anymore. I use a human language. When I say, ‘Trees suckle their children,’ everyone knows immediately what I mean,” he says.

After years of working for the state forestry administration in RhinelandPalatinate, and then as a forester managing 3,000 acres of woods near Cologne, he began to understand that contemporary practices were not serving the trees or those that depend on them very well. Artificially spacing out trees ensures that trees get more sunlight and grow faster, but naturalists report that trees exist less like individuals and more as communal beings. By working together in networks and sharing resources, they increase their resistance to potentially damaging influences.

After researching alternative approaches, Wohlleben began implementing some revolutionary concepts. He replaced heavy machinery with horses, stopped using insecticides and let the woods become wilder. The pilot German forest plot went from losing money to posting a profit in two years.

As Dr. Seuss’ tree-loving Lorax says, “I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.”

SORE THROAT SOOTHERS

Life Coach and Recovery Coach Stress Management Specialist

Natural Remedies Help Kids Heal

T

he household is settling for the night when the 5-year-old cries out, “My throat hurts!”

“There’s no need to panic,” says Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, in Pecos, New Mexico, an integrative physician and chief medical officer of Weil Lifestyle. “It’s pretty easy to figure out if it’s strep throat, which requires antibiotics, or something you can treat at home.”

Only 10 to 20 percent of sore throats in children are caused

by Streptococcus bacteria which, if not properly treated, can lead to heart damage. The first question to ask is, “What are the symptoms?” If these include sudden onset of a severe and worsening sore throat without any complaints of scratchiness; a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or more; headache or stomach pain; and the lack of a stuffy nose, cough or sign of a cold—a trip to the pediatrician is essential and a course of antibiotics is necessary, says Low Dog.

The vast majority of youngsters’ sore throats, which may accompany a common cold, are caused by viruses and will heal on their own in about a week. Many natural remedies will help children feel better and relieve the pain; some cost so little they are nearly free.

Salt water gargle: “A glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of sea salt swirled into it is an old-school remedy that works well for kids at least 5 years old,” says Erika Krumbeck, a naturopathic doctor and licensed primary care physician practicing pediatrics in Missoula, Montana. She notes that a salt water gargle can also moderate the symptoms of strep until the child can see a doctor.

The Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies confirms that the salt water draws excess fluid from inflamed throat tissues. It also loosens mucus and removes other irritants, including bacteria, allergens and fungi. Just make sure children don’t swallow the salt

water, counsels Krumbeck.

Warm compresses: A warm water compress using a wet hand towel applied for 10 or 15 minutes every hour loosens mucus and is soothing. “It’s amazing how effective these familiar practices are,” says Krumbeck. “Grandma knew what she was doing.”

Lemon juice and honey: “Honey is sweet, so kids love it,” says certified nutritionist Kimberly Snyder, of New York and Los Angeles. This traditional recipe works because the honey has antibacterial properties and the lemon juice is packed with immune-boosting antioxidants.

Snyder cautions that babies younger than 12 months old should never be given honey because their immune systems cannot handle the bacterial spores sometimes present in the sweet treat.

Elderberry: The tiny purple berries of the Sambucus nigra L. plant shortens the duration of colds and flu often suffered by air travelers, according to research that includes a large Australian study.

Elderberry syrup appeals to kids because it tastes delicious. Low Dog recommends keeping a bottle on hand at all times because it’s hard to know when a child

will complain of a scratchy throat. “This yummy syrup is good for all ages. It’s so safe. I love it,” says Low Dog, adding, “Plus, you can always use it on wholegrain pancakes.”

Sage and Echinacea: Drinking sage tea and gargling with echinacea are oldtime remedies for sore throats that now have scientific backing, says Snyder. Go for a twofer and add a little echinacea to the tea, she suggests.

A Swiss study showed that an echinacea/sage spray soothed sore throat symptoms just as well as a chlorhexidine/ lidocaine spray, which can have side effects that include more swelling and even allergic reactions; the suggested spray should not be used with children under 12.

Pairing up a dose of safe and gentle, time-tested sore throat recipes with a big hug will go far toward relieving most little ones’ suffering.

Kathleen Barnes has authored numerous natural health books, including Food Is Medicine: 101 Prescriptions from the Garden. Connect at KathleenBarnes.com.

UNSAFE DRUGS Acetaminophen, a popular ingredient in over-the-counter children’s cold medicines like Tylenol, has been linked to twice the risk of developing asthma. Immediate side effects can include rapid heart rate and convulsions.

Ephedrine, pseudophedrine and phenylephrine are popular ingredients in children’s cold medications even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says they’re not effective.

Side effects include the possibility of unsupervised children overdosing on the sugary concoctions and can even prove fatal. In 2008, the FDA warned parents not to use any such cold medications for children under 4.

Antibiotics are not effective against the viruses that cause most colds and flu. Antibiotics kill bacteria like those associated with strep throat, not viruses. Using antibiotics for a cold can actually lead to future antibiotic resistance.

hether it’s a sideline or full time, flourishing small businesses stimulate the economy. The U.S. Small Business Association found that between 2009 and 2013, companies with fewer than 500 employees accounted for 60 percent of net new jobs. Technology allows new commercial ventures to be launched from home, yielding huge savings in startup costs. Owners have found ways to fulfill needs by leveraging their past job experiences and personal interests.

House and Garden

When the economy faltered in 2008, Dave Marciniak, owner and lead designer at Revolutionary Gardens, in Culpeper, Virginia, offered eco-friendly services. “I focus on a few key points and design to make the outdoors a place where people want to be,” he says.

Even for urbanites, fresh garden herbs are available thanks to ecopreneurs like Andy Avramenko, who created TrendyThing, in New York City.

“The edible plants our bike messengers

distribute come from local farmers,” he explains. Basil, parsley, dill, lettuce and other herbs and greens are available for all five boroughs; potted plants arrive fresh weekly via subscription.

In addition to cleaning homes, Debbie Sardone, owner of Speed Cleaning, in Lewisville, Texas, saw an opportunity to manufacture her own green cleaning products. They’re part of a full-line online catalog.

Ryan Riley and his wife, Ashley Spitz, of Los Angeles, own and operate Biz Bagz, dog waste bags made in America from bio-based resins and recycled plastics. He notes the genesis of their idea: “Landfills are anaerobic, so biodegradable bags don’t get the oxygen required to break down. Compostable bags are available, but few places provide composting services.

We offer a cleaner alternative.”

Another pet-inspired idea was spawned when Kevin Li, of Manhattan, New York, left his puppy home alone for the first time. He invented an app-operated remote control ball with a camera

isak55/Shutterstock.com

called PlayDate (Tinyurl.com/RemoteBallApp).

Personal Care

People- and planet-friendly personal care products address other ongoing customer needs. Nitya Gulati, founder of Sugarloom Cosmetics, in Ashburn, Virginia, specializes in Americanmade, vegan, cruelty- and toxin-free nail polish. She advises, “Look for ‘fivefree’ on the label, which means no formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene and allergens camphor and formaldehyde resin. Watch out for guanine, made from fish scales, found in glittery polishes. Oleic acid, a thickener, is animal fat. Vibrant reds may contain carmine, made from boiled, crushed beetles.” She warns that products tested by a third party can obscure animal testing during product development.

Amelia Swaggert and Elizabeth Ripps, co-founders of California Scrub Company, in Los Angeles, upcycle coffee grounds into a natural facial scrub. They’ve eliminated plastic at every step of production from sourcing to packaging. They’re also

helping to keep the world’s oceans from becoming plastic soup by supporting the Beat the Microbead campaign.

(BeatTheMicrobead.org/en).

Maintaining a professional look while living green can be a challenge.

OneSavvyMother.com found a stylish, eco-friendly, lightweight and durable tote bag designed by Natalie Therése.

The vegan cork tote is made in Boxford, Massachusetts. Shavings from the bark of the cork oak tree grown in Portugal are transformed into ultrathin sheets to produce cork fabric; the certified organic cotton lining is produced in Korea and China in certified Global Organic Textile Standard and fair trade facilities.

Out and About Mya Zeronis saw a need for healthy food and stepped out of her comfort zone to fulfill it through her extra VEGANza Pgh restaurant and its catering arm, Lean Chef en Route, recognized by Sustainable Pittsburgh. “We source locally, compost produce scraps, serve meatand dairy-free menu options, practice food waste management with root-to-

stem preparation and maintain energy conservation,” she says. Customers are encouraged to bike to the restaurant; there’s even a bicycle air pump and flat tire repair kit on the premises if emergencies arise.

Shared bikes are a welcome addition at colleges for budget-minded and time-strapped students. Rented by the hour or day, they’re a convenient, healthy and non-polluting way to get around campus. New York University at Buffalo students can remotely locate, rent and unlock GPS-enabled bikes. At Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, the Purple Bike Coalition provides free use of bikes and a staffed repair station; a cargo bike helps transport larger objects.

Entrepreneurs are creative by nature; seeing a need and asking, “What if?”

Eco-friendly, green-minded entrepreneurs take ideas a step farther, working to ensure the health of consumers and the planet. They succeed as they serve and inspire us all.

lmost 60 percent of America’s pet cats are overweight, according to a survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. Feline obesity can lead to joint pain, hinder self-grooming and make it harder to use the litter box, all resulting in fat cats being left at shelters by frustrated owners.

Chubby kitties also are more prone to osteoarthritis, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory problems and non-allergic skin conditions. “Potential health problems make overweight cats harder to adopt,” says Deanna Schmidt, with the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Pittsburgh.

“On Fat Cat Tuesdays, we waive the adoption fee for cats 14 pounds and over. We counsel adoptive families and follow up so that ongoing healthy eating and exercise continues to melt away the pounds.”

Experts advise that a house cat should maintain the sleek, fluid motion of a jungle cat. Viewed from above, healthy cats have a distinct waistline, an inward curve between the rib cage and hips. Pick it up and step on the scale. The pet’s weight should comprise between six to 10 pounds of the total.

napalmbeach.com

“The first time I saw healthy cats, I thought they looked small because I’d become used to seeing fat cats,” recalls Traci Pichette, founder of Pumeli tea and gift boxes, in St. Petersburg, Florida. She’s not alone in her assessment.

Suggested Solutions

While free-feeding dry food is easier for owners and allows a cat to snack at will, some take advantage and overeat, often from boredom. To help the transition from always-available dry food to mealtime wet food, use kibble as a special treat.

Food puzzles, widely available online or in pet supply stores, will keep Kitty busy during the day. Homemade feeding puzzles work, too; put a small amount of kibble in a cardboard tube or small box, tape the end shut and randomly cut small holes in the sides. Kitty will have to roll the tube or fit a paw inside to retrieve a treat.

“Free-feeding dry food is comparable to a constant supply of Fritos on our desk,” says Jackson Galaxy, author of Cat Daddy.

“As far as the myth that dry food cleans teeth, I ask, do you floss with Melba toast?

Dry food leaves plaque. A grain-free, wet food adds needed moisture and fat to their

diet. A cat’s teeth are designed to rip and tear, not crunch.”

“Changing my cat’s food to an allwet diet slimmed her down to a healthy weight. I hated the smell, but it made sense to me that dry food was just carbs,” says Pichette. “At first, she whined at not having food all the time, but got used to it, and now she can eat treats in moderation. The cool thing is we’re all enjoying her increased energy and playfulness.”

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their natural diet comprises 90 percent meat and 10 percent vegetable matter. A roaming cat’s native routine is to search for food, hunt, catch and eat, groom and nap. Because each catch is small, they eat frequently.

“There’s still an ancestor cat inside domesticated felines, a ‘raw’ cat that wants to hunt for its food,” explains Galaxy. “We need to play into that thinking and feed at intervals; ideally, every five hours or so, or at least in the morning, after work and about an hour-and-a-half before bedtime.”

While the family’s morning and evening schedules mean just a quick scoop of food in the bowl, the third meal should be an interactive one. “A battery-operated toy or waving a laser light around is not play,” says Galaxy. “Interactive play is not texting with one hand and wiggling the fishing pole toy with the other. You have to get up and move to let the cat search for the toy, watch and wait, then pounce.

It engages the animal mentally and physically and brings the raw cat to the surface.

When you reach the point of diminishing returns, the pet is tired and it’s time for a meal.” His foundation improves lives of shelter animals, teaching staff to clicker train, entertain and exercise their cats to make them more adoptable.

After an active day, the cat will be ready for bed, syncing its rhythm with the rest of the household. “A full play session satisfies natural instincts and prevents the cat from hunting your ankles as you sleep,” advises Galaxy. “It’s not a luxury to have a variety of toys; it’s a necessity for having a quality relationship with a healthy cat.”

CAYENNE PEPPER

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

C

apsicum frutescens is also known as cayenne pepper or chili pepper. There are several other species within the Capsicum family, including Capsicum annum, where Paprika comes from. The plants are native to the Americas, and are cultivated mostly in the U.S. and Europe. The level of pungency is classified by the concentration of capsaicinoids, primarily of capsaicin, in the fruit. I think they’re easy to grow here in Florida, as I have several varieties in my garden.

The Capsicum species, as a medicinal plant, are used for such diverse conditions as: • colic • asthma • arthritis • muscle cramps • toothaches • fever • sore throats and upper respiratory infections • post-herpetic neuralgia • trigeminal neuralgia • post-mastectomy pain • diabetic neuropathy • cluster headaches • psoriasis.

The medicinal or pharmacological affect of cayenne pepper comes from capsaicin. When capsaicin is applied topically to the skin, it first stimulates and then blocks small diameter pain nerve fibers. It does this biochemically by depleting the nerve fibers of a chemical called Substance P. Substance P (P for pain) is an important mediator of pain impulses in the sensory nerves, and also activates inflammatory mediators in joints in arthritic conditions.

When capsaicin is taken internally, it has antioxidant properties, and reduces blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and platelet aggregation (lowers the ability to form blood clots). Capsaicin should not be used with anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or thrombolytic agents, as it will increase bleeding. Although capsaicin is hot to taste, it lowers body temperature.

Capsaicin is contained in ointments of 0.025% or 0.075%, which can be found over the counter in most supermarkets, pharmacies, or health food stores.

When used in an ointment, it should be rubbed on no more than 3-4 times per day for 2-7 days at a time. Skin irritation does occur, but for most people this goes right away. It should not be used on open wounds. It can also be found in capsules and homeopathic remedies. It should be avoided in people with stomach inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome, and kidney or liver diseases.

Why do they Love Getting High?

by Todd Nichols

Todd Nichols has actively shared Qigong and Power Breathing at Veteran Facilities for 5 years with outstanding results. Anger and Alcoholism are the norm for Veterans and Todd is breaking through by getting them high naturally.

Additionally, Todd shares Qigong at several Drug Rehab centers and even with baker acted patients. His insights as a Heroic Qigong teacher are profound.

N

o mistake in life has troubled me more than not serving in the military. After missing that opportunity, I am sharing Qigong at the Veterans Hospitals. The biggest challenge in teaching Veterans Qigong is to gain their trust. An individual who never wore their uniform cannot understand what they endured. Veterans immediately want to know if you’re one of them. In the beginning this was unnerving.

VA’s are tough facilities. I’ll never forget my first time teaching and being let in the locked door and it quickly shutting behind me. One vet in a wheel chair was trying to escape. Chairs were full of sand so they couldn’t be thrown.

Doctors and social workers were coming in during my class and interrupting.

Many veterans were medicated and

dealing with obvious challenges. Some appeared physically fine, but their mind waged an emotional war inside. One large man was sitting in a state of shock and sat staring straight ahead making a low pitched sound. Direct exposure to mental health struggles of Veterans has enlightened me. Most Americans are unaware that 22 US vets commit suicide each day. I hope my experiences help tutor other Qigong instructors.

“One of the best things to happened to me was to be sentenced to 6-month drug rehab center where Mr. Todd literally was breathing new life into us.”

- Timothy Stewart, U.S. Veteran.

When vets do Qigong breathing in a group, trust issues and whether I’m a vet

or not becomes less important. Old mind patterns are temporarily bypassed as the FEELING OF QI is so strong that it gives a natural high. Many vets report this has been invaluable to replace harmful addictions.

My VA teacher’s position actually came from a referral from Westcare of St. Petersburg Florida, a 98-bed mental health and “Substance Abuse Center”. Some vets I met at the VA also ended up in drug rehab and therefore they saw me at both places.

“For 4 years running Todd’s Qigong program has uplifted the spirit of many”.

Robert Neri - Westcare Rehab, Chief Clinical Officer.

I love to see students’ resistance turn to wonder. They tell me wow, “I feel electricity, and my body is warm and tingling”. Without the breathing tools many would give up before benefiting from the immense healing rewards. Teaching Qigong at the VA was not very respected in the beginning. Now it has grown from a single class to two classes each week. The doctors, nurses and social workers now respect the group and do not disturb our class! Qigong at Westcare has been received so well that it has

grown from one to three classes every week. It is now a part of their curriculum. There is no doubt in my mind that the need for more instructors in this field of Qigong is a must.

November 18th-20th, 2016 QI REVOLUTION comes to Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center $99 for 2.5 Days Qigong Training! Open to Public. Fire, Police and Military Servicemen admitted free.

For details call (800)-298-8970 or visit online: www.QiRevolution.com

Recovering heroine addicts need a powerful approach and I quickly realized I needed to wow them immediately with Qigong! To make a memorable, quick and powerful statement. My grand slam is the Breath-Empowerment and the 9-Breath Method exercises as this group of people is challenging to gain trust. They are guarded and apprehensive.

I draw them in and challenge them to take huge breaths, swallow it and hold it in their belly. A crammed room becomes momentarily silent, smiles and then scattered giggles.
