newsbriefs WISE WOMAN HOLISTIC HEALTHCARE

s a woman seeks healthcare in today’s world there are many choices to make. There is the choice between modern allopathic Western Medicine and holistic natural time tested alternatives such as Oriental Medicine and herbal therapy. There is also another choice: The Wise Woman tradition. The Wise Woman Tradition is a concept intended to offer a view of health that is female-centered and empowering for women. According to Wikipedia, In the Wise Woman Tradition health is viewed as a spiral, ever-evolving, always returning to itself, but never at the same place. It shows health as a flexible state, never static. This tradition focuses on the integration and the nourishment of the individual and calls attention to the uniqueness of each person and fosters trust in ones self. According to the wise women’s tradition, a woman’s life can be compared to the cycles of the moon. She is part of the universe and its subtle ebbs and flows. Just as the moon gets full, the tides of the ocean get stronger with the magnetic pull, so a woman as well, with her own moon cycle (menstrual cycle). When she is nurtured and balanced her cycles will correlate with the phases of the moon. Ovulation beginning at the time of the new moon, when possibilities for new life are at its height, and menstruation waxing at the time of the the full moon, releasing and letting go of what is no longer useful in our lives. This cycle is the ideal for optimum fertility and an overall sense of well being, from menarche to menopause, as far as her menstrual cycle is concerned. There should be no discomfort or difficulties at this time. Many women do not know this and expect there to be discomfort, pain and PMS in her life on a monthly basis. In truth, problems arise only when there are any blockages, imbalances or stagnation in the body. The most common menstrual problems are dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and amenorrhea. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, excessive flow is caused by Heat in the Blood, while a scanty flow, late menstruation, and painful menstruation are due to Cold in the blood. When cold obstructs the blood it is advised to use herbs such as cinnamon, ginseng and ginger, which send warmth through the channels. As an example, “Cold in the blood’ can be caused by swimming in the

Ocean during your menstrual period. In the incidence of dysmenorrhea, unusually painful menstrual cramps arise and may be caused by endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic infection, stress, or a thyroid disorder, all of which may be alleviated naturally with herbs and Acupuncture. Your ob/gyn will usually prescribe pharmaceuticals to regulate your menstrual cycle and alleviate pain which thereby masks the symptoms without alleviating the roots of the problem. If you experience any of these symptoms; sharp pain or a dull ache in the lower abdomen and lower back, headaches, sweating, diarrhea, restlessness, excess heat or sleep disturbances, even infertility, I have good news for you. You can experience relief the natural way with the aid of Chinese medicine which includes acupuncture and herbal medicine. You can help support your body in healing many of these symptoms without pharmaceutical chemicals. It is always best to go back to the basics of how nature intended us to heal, with natural remedies, with our allies, the plants, to get our bodies back in balance in a healthy way. I call this approach “Roots to Fruits” medicine. With Oriental Medicine we dig deep and go back to the root of the problem to heal the imbalance or “dis-ease” instead of masking the symptoms of the problem with chemical drugs and their many side effects or surgery. Education is key. I feel it is important to educate individuals about their choices and lifestyle that affects their bodies, mind and spirit, so they can be empowered to heal themselves. Everyone has a physician within themselves. Your body is intelligent and wants to heal. You can observe this anytime you get a cut. Just watch and see how amazing and intelligent your body truly is. Everyone has the capacity to heal naturally. It is just a matter of building the bridges you need that will lead you to radiant health from the inside out! As a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture Physician, Licensed Midwife and Licensed Massage Therapist, I meld together many complementary disciplines to create a balanced model of preventative medicine. Believing that everyone is unique and deserves individualized attention is the catalyst in my passionate pursuit for my clients to receive holistic healthcare tailored to their own particular healing process. I address women’s health issues with herbs, TCM and and the Wise Woman tradition. I seek to integrate all of my knowledge into a cohesive whole in order to help individuals heal and regain wholeness in their lives. I am always honored to be of service to those who seek to obtain a healthy balance of body, mind and spirit. If you are ready to start your journey towards radiant health and beauty from the inside out, I am here to help.

our years ago Patricia Bigler started her journey to become a Yuen Method Mastery Practitioner and in March 2013 was certified by internationally recognized Dr. Kam Yuen.The Yuen Method addresses the energetic dynamics of body, physical energy; mind and spirit, non-physical energy, perceiving the weakening effects; deleting the weaknesses; then strengthening the person to experience results and improvements on the spot.Our DNA and fingerprints, physical imprints, are unique, likewise the non-physical energies of the mind and spirit have unique imprinting. This dynamic triad of body, mind and spirit are at constant interplay influencing our well-being or lack thereof. When we look at for example, a head ache, the energetic dynamics effecting Mary’s headache is different than those effecting John or Sue’s headache. That is why one pill or one therapy may not produce desired results. There may be temporary suppression of symptoms, yet the underlying weakness still prevails. By pinpointing the energetic weakness behind the symptoms and deleting them, results and improvement prevail. Working as a medical massage therapist for three years while gaining insight with the Yuen Method, Patricia had the opportunity to serve hundreds of clients seeking relief from acute to chronic conditions. Several clients presented with severe headaches, unable to get relief from various treatments, utilizing these specialized energy skills their headaches were gone in one session, on the spot. If someone is in pain, the primary objective is to resolve it as soon as possible although you do not have to be in pain to benefit from this method. Many people live with stress, fears and phobias, anxiety and other unwanted issues that are effecting and compromising their wellbeing and quality of life. How would your life improve by having resolution to your issues? The Yuen Method addresses the six leading life supports, for example, relationships, purpose and aging; pinpointing the weakening effect, deleting them and strengthening for improvements. Have you noticed how some people’s relationships seem to have an unfavorable repeating pattern, or perhaps it is your relationships. Are you ready to have those influences deleted? Now in private practice with locations in Stuart and Jupiter, Patricia Bigler combines her specialized energy skills into her massage sessions or offers energy sessions in person or over the phone. You are invited to experience the difference. Call 772-335-7068 to schedule an appointment or for more information. Email patswellbeing@yahoo.com

newsbriefs ROTHKIN RED PALM OIL

he more things change, the more they remain the same. Modern science, Chinese, Ayurvedic and folk medicine have all searched for the same outcome, better health. Sometimes the obvious is overlooked. Many of us have heard our grandmothers say that taking cod liver oil was good for you. Well, ten years ago a doctor would never prescribe fish oil. Now, it’s common. Science is now finding many of the traditional remedies have better outcomes with none of the side effects brought on by many pharmaceuticals. One ancient remedy not known to many Americans is Red Palm Oil. Red Palm Oil is a powerhouse of nutrition. It contains all 8 forms of Vitamin E and is natures greatest source of the potent Tocotrienols. It is extremely rich in alpha and beta carotene as well as over 20 other anti-oxidant carotenoids. Red palm oil naturally contains CO-Q10, Squalene, Vitamin K, Lycopene, Magnesium, Phytosterols, Flavinoids and more. Red Palm Oils’ properties truly put it in a class by itself. Red Palm oil has been used as a medicinal agent for thousands of years. In areas of Africa and S.E. Asia where red palm oil is commonly used, heart disease is virtually none existent. Studies indicate red palm oil lowers cholesterol, improves circulation, and actually reverses arteriosclerosis. This product positively affects nearly every aspect of your health. Studies indicate Red palm oil has very potent anti-cancer properties with very positive results relating to breast, skin and prostrate cancers. Improved brain function, eye health, and weight reduction are some additional benefits. Currently, research is being conducted on its ability to slow the progression of Alzheimer disease. The ancient Egyptians called it sacred. Dr. Oz called it the miracle product for 2013. We are confident red palm oil will help you attain and maintain better overall health. Rothkin Red Palm Oil Capsules is a product that should be a part everyones’ health regimen. We use the highest quality Red Palm Oil produced by the worlds only supplier using GMP production standards. Now you can get all the benefits in a concentrated liquid capsule.

newsbriefs Women as Natural Healers: Allowing our Gentleness to be our Strength “A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.” —Diane Mariechild

ow, more than at any time before in the history of the world, women are taking on challenges that transcend our gender. Women are working in every career and at all levels. Yet, even with all of our societal progress, women are often ultimately responsible for childrearing and all of the details that accompany running a household. It is no wonder that so many women feel overwhelmed by all the claims on their time and energy! Many of my female clients come to me seeking the strength to be up for all of life’s challenges. Yet what I teach (actually, what I help my clients remember, because on a soul level we all know this to be true!) is that you already have all of the strength, answers and resources within you. The key to unleashing your innately powerful self is deep relaxation plus the loving acceptance of how wonderful you truly are. Reflexology is the perfect way for a woman to take time out to relax, to be nurtured, to find her own sense of self-worth. I have seen reflexology help women from a wide variety of backgrounds, and with all kinds of challenges. No matter how the challenges manifest, my clients and students agree that reflexology profoundly relaxes them, allowing their body, mind and spirit to heal faster. Reflexology also helps calm the inner chatter of the mind, so the answers to life’s challenges can “bubble up.” Reflexology offers the unique healing gift of helping to balance a woman’s internal equilibrium. Applying gentle but firm pressure to the pressure/reflex points on your feet, hands, ears and face allows your body’s systems to return to their natural vibrancy. Some of Reflexology’s positive, powerful effects include: Restoring emotional balance – relaxing the body, mind and spirit promotes balance and a sense of renewed energy

Enhancing inner and outer beauty – with increased circulation, your face and skin ‘glow’ and you look and feel younger. My clients and students marvel at how much easier life becomes when they are centered, feeling great and fully in touch with their inner resources. It is not always about being “strong” – it is often about accepting our gift as women of being natural healers by our gentle, loving presence. “The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.” —Robert Moss By our ability to be fully present with others, we empower them to become their best. They sense our love, feel our light and can open to their own higher selves. I have seen how a career in Reflexology helps women (and men) fully develop their own intuitive healing gifts. Being

able to heal your own partner and children is very empowering. Having a lucrative, rewarding career on your own schedule, while helping others find their inner power, is truly priceless! “There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.” — Caroline Myss Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private sessions in Holistic Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching, and Reflexology Training Programs in Delray Beach, Massachusetts and New York City.

newsbriefs SEEKING A PSYCHIC

eeking psychic guidance can provide you with a deeper understanding of your life’s journey and the decisions you can make toward peace and happiness. If you are curious about your life path, struggling with a decision, or just feel lost and confused, getting a psychic reading is a great way to achieve clarity. However, just like any service profession, choosing the right psychic / spiritual advisor / intuitive for you is the key to receiving the best insight for your highest benefit. Just as with all professions, there are good psychics and not so good psychics. So how do you know which you are getting? The first thing to consider is the psychic’s personality. Why? Because you can sense the type of guidance you will get based on how they view their own life. Does this person have a pleasant personality, are they calm and centered? Or do they seem angry, suspicious, and controlling? Do they tell you messages filled with doom and fear? Or messages of compassion and empowerment? How they see the world is the filter through which their psychic information streams, so it affects the messages they receive and deliver to you. Make sure your psychic is someone who is grounded, spiritually informative, and can explain in detail how they receive your valuable information from beings of light. Not all psychics are on their spiritual path, and not all spiritually-based people have advanced psychic abilities. Psychics who work on their own spiritual evolvement tend to see the world and life much more positive, which will show up in your reading. You want someone who continually seeks their own enlightened path to serve as a vehicle for you – after all, you wouldn’t go to a dentist with bad teeth, would you? The second thing to consider is how you found the psychic. Did they approach you out of the blue? Sometimes a psychic will approach you and offer free information. Some psychics enjoy altruistically helping others on their path, pursuing no gain, other than a thank you for an equal energy exchange. Many aren’t public about their gifts and may be able to just say something in what you think is a casual conversation, when they are actually delivering a message for you. There are others

who are professional psychics and are offering free guidance from their heart, and you can make appointments with them to learn more – just as a mechanic may jump start your car in an emergency, but to fix the problem you’ll need to bring it in for repairs. The mechanic uses his talent as a gift in the moment, but is also able to provide his services in a professional environment during regular hours. His intentions may be to give you a sample of his good customer service in the emergency, so you may become a loyal customer to him in the future. However, if he started your car and then demanded $500 for fixing it, or if he told you would need six special spark plugs each costing $100, and only he can get them for you, this would be entirely unethical. This is what is happening here in Palm Beach County, and it’s been reported to our Dream Angels shop many times. Local people are being approached in the mall, coffee shops, and large department stores, and unethical psychics are tapping into their energy field, giving them personal information to gain trust, and then telling them that they have a curse, and they will need to purchase 30 candles at $100 each to remove the curse. Of course, the candles can only be purchased through the psychic! If this happens to you, RUN! These people are NOT on their enlightened spiritual path, and they aren’t going to lead you there, either! Your best option is to find a local shop that offers psychic readings, and has a great local reputation. The shop atmosphere will reflect the type of reading you receive. Is it warm and comforting, inviting, and feels caring? Are the readers and their readings respected by the shop employees? Is the reading room private? Does the shop promote its readings as publicly as it promotes the products it sells? Are you encouraged to empower yourself with spiritual information? Is there a feeling of community within the shop? If you answer yes to these questions, chances are, you are well on your way to receiving a psychic reading that will be of highest benefit for you. Of course, no one can guarantee your experience or the likelihood of future events (after all readings are “for entertainment purposes only”), but if you set yourself up for success, you’ll be headed in the right direction. As with any type of guidance you seek, please do so purposely and prepared. South Florida has many spiritual guides, be sure to select the right one for you.

newsbriefs Mom needs a good therapist!

ay is the month to celebrate women in all of their various roles. This is the month that Mothers, Mothers to be, Wives, Daughters, Grandmothers and Sisters all need to be pampered and nurtured. Mothers’ Day is the chance to take the time to show the women in your life that you love them and want them to be happy. What better way to do that than to give them a gift certificate to Naked Hair Salon and More? At Naked Hair Salon and More, they can get a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, a massage and of course a fantastic hair style. When you think nurturing and pampering though, you think massage. What woman in your life wouldn’t love to be massaged for 60 minutes? Not only does massage reduce stress and tension but it also helps busy moms to relax and sleep better. A one-hour massage can help ease the tension in the muscles, increase circulation and bring the body back to a calming centered place. It is nourishment for the body, mind and soul. Massage can help one to feel refreshed, revitalized and recharged. It is like going on a nice vacation and being waited on and attended to. That one hour massage is all about them. Massage gives the women in your life a chance to escape, get away from it all and still never go far from home. Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the neurotransmitters released by the brain that relieve pain and induce euphoria. When you are doing something pleasurable like a massage, endorphins are released and provide a calm and euphoric experience that can reduce stress and lessen anxiety and promote overall better health and wellbeing. Massage also provides emotional benefits through the touch of another person. Touch also reduces stress and creates a feeling of calm, safety and soothing by releasing serotonin, another neurotransmitter released by the brain. It’s responsible for making you feel happy and in control of your mood. The end result is a woman ready to take on the world again with a new outlook and a fresh, rejuvenated perspective. So act now and do the right thing. Book a massage for the woman or women in your life and let them know that not only do you care about them, but you also want them to be the best that they can be. Be Beautiful inside and out. Reserve your free consultation today! 561-265-3396. Joe Fisch is available Tuesday / Wednesday and by appointment Saturday

newsbriefs THE THERAPEUTIC ALTERNATIVE

specializing in Advanced Lymphatic Therapy™ for Women A Natural Beauty Regimen for Beautiful Glowing Skin!

anual Lymphatic Therapy has long been a standard part of the European woman’s beauty regime. This gentle treatment enhances the beauty of the skin as well as detoxifies the tissues. At The Therapeutic Alternative we have combined several therapies to create Advanced Lymphatic Therapy, the ultimate detoxification of the skin and body. Along with manual techniques to stimulate drainage of the tissues we incorporate other methods that gently encourage complete drainage in the deeper channels. Advanced Lymphatic Therapy includes: Manual Lymphatic Therapy - LTU 904 Lymphatic Laser - Ortho-Bionomy® - Far Infrared BiomatOften offered in a series, Advanced Lymphatic Therapy is the ultimate detoxification treatment. This treatment literally pulls waste and fluid build up from under the surface of the skin leaving you with a healthy radiant glow. Effective Lymph Drainage is a beauty treatment as well as way to improve your overall health. This therapy produces an antiaging effect that is truly amazing! Benefits of Advanced Lymphatic Therapy Treatments • Healthy Glowing Skin • Anti-Aging Effect • Reduced Swelling and Puffiness • Reduction and Refinement of Scar Tissue • Improved Immune System Function • Supports Weight Loss/Reduced Cellulite • Detoxification of the Skin, Tissues and Organs • Improved Digestion • Deep Relaxation Studies show one of the functions of the lymphatic system is to help the body in deep cleansing of the tissues. Removal of excess fluids, fats, proteins and wastes help to keep the fluids of the body crystal clear. A large number of lymphatic channels lie directly beneath the skin; they play a significant role in maintaining the health and beauty of our skin complexion. Light stimulation of lymph vessels initiates a pumping action that pulls unwanted fluids and particles into the lymphatic vessels. Once the tissues are cleansed tissue cells are bathed in fresh fluid making the skin look fresh and alive. These treatments are wonderfully relaxing yet incredibly effective to support total health. It should be more than a once a year “luxury”- but rather an essential part of an effective preventative health regimen. Our Mission is to educate people to the importance of body treatments that may enhance beauty as well as overall health. Our therapists are trained and certified in European methods of Manual Lymphatic Therapy and bring over 25 years of experience to the table. We offer discounts for 5 & 10 session series.

newsbriefs ORGANIC ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMICAL/SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS

nce again chemical fertilizers Take the NEWS headlines after the WEST FERTILIZER -Texas Factory explosion. More lives were lost this time as chemical fertilizers explode. Most of us are aware that chemical fertilizers cause carcinogens in humans and pollute aquifers and potable water supply. The problem of ingesting chemicals sprayed on our food as pesticides or indirectly induced into the plants through chemical synthetic fertilizers now has a solution: Alternative Organic Non-Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticides. 1) Animal Manure: Rabbit, goat, chicken and horse manure are the best alternatives for a good source “N” Nitgrogen. Cow manure is a controversial issue as most of the commercial cows are injected with growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids and other vaccines. No one wants a Mad Cow Disease contaminated manure on their plants. Caution must be taken when using animal manure as it must be AGED, otherwise it will burn the roots of the plants. Chemical sources of nitrogen are AMMONIUM which is a hazard that causes explosions when improperly utilized. It is safer to use alternatives to chemicals that do not cause explosions from within (the cells of our body) or without off course. Example Rabbit manure which is considered as a Cold manure that does

Palm Beach Edition

not burn the plant roots even when used fresh and unaged! 2) Non-bovine sources of Bone and Blood meal. Vegetarians can opt to use alfalfa, cotton seed meals as an alternatives. An alternative source for “P” Phosphorous from Mother Nature and back to mother Earth. Another alternative source is ground phosphate rock powder. 3) Green Sand is another alternative for the chemical fertilizer “K” Pottassium.. The Organic Amendments added to the soil, besides the above could include Inorganic Amendments. Minerals are known as Inorganic source of plant nutrients. (Check out the Periodic Table for more details) They are commonly known as Trace Minerals comprising of: Iron, copper, boron, zinc etc. Most of commercially conventional produce that ends up on our tables lack those trace minerals and are loaded with N-P-K chemical fertilizers. This is leads us to conclude why we are sick from carcinogen chemicals used as fertilizers that end up exploding our cells and causing our immune system to malfunction, hence contributing to a chain reaction of you name it Diseases! My favorite source of trace minerals are Seaweeds. You pick your own among a wide range of alternatives from Lime to Epsom Salt! A good source company is Epsoma and an affordable and Family Owned friendly store to find them at is: Uncle Bims

napalmbeach.com

newsbriefs Garden Center-WPB. The Hydroponic industry uses a Mega doses of Inorganic Minerals. In Europe the trend to follow the N-P-K formula is now being superseded by adding more of the Trace Minerals! You pick which way to follow? B- Alternatives to Chemical Pesticides, Herbicides and Fungicides: Chemical pesticides etc...Are used to kill the pests and bugs that attack the plants. There are friendly bugs like the Lady Bug for example that are also killed as a collateral damage. Lately bees were also added to the victims of chemical pesticides. Organic gardening and farming do not use Killing medium but rather preventive ways of combatting plant diseases. Here are some Basic alternative ways to consider: 1) Neem: Neem tree is a native to India and south east Asia. It grows in Florida and California. Neem Oil is widely and universally used as an alternative to chemical pesticides. Also the Neem leaves and powder are used to combat bugs like the Aphids and Nematodes. The farmer attack the areal part of the plant while the latter attack the root system. There are so many names of predators that are divided among both categories. What you need to remember is NOT the name of the dis-ease or Predator rather, it is Prevention that must be the alternative to Pest Killing Control. Neem will prevent the predator from multiplying. I personally grow Neem trees around my garden so I have experienced less predators attacking my organic garden. You can do the same... Neem trees are resistant to 150 predators and pests...Besides Neem leaves could be used as tea, added to rice pilaf and curried recipes among others. They are edible and have no side effects. For more “Pop Eye” details: Google: “Benefits Of Neem”! I have used Neem oil to combat the white fly among others and won the battle after so many rounds and repetition of treatments. 2) Garlic. 3) Insecticidal soap. Check out Dr. Bronner too...It works! 4) Complementary Herbs: Basil, sage, oregano etc.. 5) Essential oils. Example: TEA TREE OIL, Citrus oil, Cedar oil etc.. (Use few drops in a gallon of water and spray in combination with some of the above. Experiment! Earth Day is falling within few days from now. In tribute to my mother Sarah who passed away two months ago at 98 years old I write this article celebrating LIFE by spreading the Awareness of growing our own Living food in an eco-friendly and peaceful way causing No Harm. My mother taught me my first Gardening Lesson and I will carry it forward by teaching classes to others.

newsbriefs

Deanna Cook: I had no clue of really what Qigong was prior to this interview, but now after watching you train instructors for a week, researching your testimonies, and trying some of your smoothies, I think it’s very important for people to know exactly what Qigong is. So, let me begin by asking you what is “Qigong” really all about? Jeff Primack: Qigong is the art of harnessing Qi which directly affects the blood flow and is an exercise that makes your blood pulse. This pulsing occurs by moving Qi using specific breathing techniques along with postures and slow, graceful movements. Qigong also encompasses using healing foods, herbs, acupressure, yogic stretches, all of which energize the body, increase vitality and accelerate metabolism. Qigong is circulation; the term “blood flow” is synonymous with “moving Qi”. Many studies confirm practicing Qigong reduces drug withdrawal in heroin addicts by 50 percent. Studies also reveal that Qigong boosts the immune system and is beneficial for those fighting cancer. Dr. Oz was quoted as saying that if you want to live to be 100, do Qigong. These techniques originated over 3000 years ago by mountain wanderers, people who were highly activated by Qi. DC: I practice Yoga a few times a week and find the methods of Qigong to be quite different. Can you tell us how Qigong is different from Yoga or other healing therapies like Acupuncture?

UP CLOSE AND

PERSONAL INTERVIEW Jeff Primack

with , Founder and Visionary of Supreme Science Qigong 26

Palm Beach Edition

JP: Good question. Qigong is different from Yoga primarily because it requires slower, more gracious movements to harness our electromagnetic field. Some Qigong exercises build muscle or speed, but most are a pulsation of Qi through the body. Qigong is the “sensation of energy” and is highly tangible. A few advanced systems of yoga, like Kriya Yoga, have striking similarities to Qigong in that they move energy directly. However, compared to most systems of Yoga, Qigong has a much greater emphasis on precise breathing techniques. Qigong deals with smaller movements of the abdomen to circulate Qi and more precise movements of the hands, rooting into the earth and opening up pathways of energy. Yoga works with energy, but to a lesser degree, and although we practice and love yoga, Qigong does what Yoga cannot. We train many thousands of yoga teachers and they are always blown away by the tangibility of Qi experienced at our seminars. In regards to Acupuncture, Qigong doesn’t use needles for treatment. However, Qigong is Self-Healing and directly affects the source of disease, which is poor circulation to various organs and body areas. Acupuncture is excellent for eliminating many health issues, but the fact Qigong can be done by yourself, free of charge, makes it special. Most acupuncturists are strong believers in Qigong and some actually prescribe Qigong exercises to their patients in between treatments. DC: I was blown away after doing your “Breath Empowerment” exercise. I was actually buzzing inside! Using scientific terms, can you tell us what this buzzing is and what happened to my body?

napalmbeach.com

DC: Time and a full schedule are often a challenge, making it hard to eat perfectly or practice as much as I would like. What are the most important Qigong and dietary components for people with extra busy lives?

JP: “The Buzz” is a reaction caused by increased levels of oxygen and negative ions that accelerate the vibration of mitochondria. Many describe the inner buzzing or vibrational feeling as a natural high. It activates the body’s natural endorphins and dopamine. This form of activation helps the blood cell structure become “rounder” and improves the health of blood cells. Bacteria and cancer thrive in an anaerobic environment (low oxygen) and therefore Qigong breathing techniques can help kill harmful microorganisms and reverse infections from candida and many types of skin breakouts caused by harmful bacteria overgrowth. Eating alkaline foods can help do this, however the breath is simply the most direct route to transform the blood. A few medical doctors have explained to me that Breath Empowerment creates a highly alkaline condition in the blood. I believe it after seeing the images of live blood cell analysis before and after doing our techniques.

JP: Ah, yet another request for the 10 minute Qigong workout! When time is short I recommend cleansing your body with oxygen and energy first thing in the morning. I will share with you my daily practice. I wake up, brush my teeth and hair, drink some hot tea outside, and do the 9-Breath Method five times. This method absorbs/retains large amounts of oxygen in the bloodstream. Gentle power breathing awakens the cellular vibration and stimulates metabolism. As I wake up slowly for 10 minutes each morning, my senses become heightened and I watch the birds in my garden. This is a quick and powerful method we spend hours thoroughly teaching at the Qi Activation conference. As far as food goes, look beyond fat, protein, carb, mineral, vitamin, enzyme, and follow God’s trail of white crystals into the apple core. The infamous fruit that started it all! Someone said an “apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Yeah, I say, but only if you eat the crystallized core of phytochemicals which activates bone marrow‘s production of cytokines for immunity. Regardless of how busy your life is, I recommend: 1) Give Up All Dairy Products – Replace with delicious healing ice cream, raw key lime pie, etc. 2) Smoothie Every Morning – With avocado and its big seed,

DC: Jeff, I understand you have a book called Conquering any Disease. According to the many testimonies, Food Healing has helped hundreds of your students reverse asthma and you even have students that have successfully reversed HIV Aids and Hepatitis Virus. This is a major breakthrough. What led you to the food healing science that you are so admired for? JP: I was an asthmatic until my early 20s; at that time I was looking for alternative treatment. The first study I found showed that children in Italy who consumed five to seven servings of kiwi a week had 40 percent less incidence of wheezing compared to children who didn’t eat kiwi. I began strictly enforcing that all my students with asthma eat two kiwis every day in addition to consuming other foods and herbs. Behold, it worked! I even had a few students say I gave them kiwi in their dreams! With these profound results, including other phytochemical rich foods that boost lung function, this became one of the protocols. The viral healings were perhaps the most startling revelation. My close friend and fellow Qigong teacher, Dietrie Yamini, gave her mother with Hepatitis B & C my antiviral food protocol with no expectations; doctors can no longer find any traces of the virus in her blood after 30 years of having it! Another student, Emily Sunderland, discovered my book from a friend and her HIV viral count went from in the millions to completely undetectable in a few months. She is avidly teaching our Food Healing program to other sufferers of HIV and believes the Qigong also played a big role in her results.

May 2013

DC: I’ve been doing your “Qigong Strength Training” every other day like you suggested and my belly is getting some definition, but the best part is that I feel so peaceful at the end. How do you explain to people what is special about Qigong methods of fitness and muscular conditioning?

4) Watermelon Fast Once a Month – Only watermelon all day to cleanse kidneys and urinary channels. Include eating/blending the white section, which contains L-citrulline, a precursor to nitric oxide, the body’s primary vasodilator. Fasting on watermelon has helped dissolve kidney stones for many people. Watermelon is not recommended for diabetics, cancer patients or people with sugar sensitive diseases.

JP: Qigong strength training is 100 percent nurturing to Qi, instead of taxing like some traditional exercises. If you have old injuries, you can practice Qigong without any side effects. We use “Holding Qi” postures like Horse Stance to build the root chakra and leg strength of the body. When doing HyperThrows, we use extreme fast followed by slow “Pressing on Qi” movements which work wonders for circulatory issues and building muscle. These Yin and Yang alternating movements open arteries to expand blood flow beyond what traditional exercise is capable of. Qigong breathing and movements are merged into a mildly challenging fitness routine, and this Qi integration helps you to recover faster and go deeper than normal.

DC: In my 30 years being on an enlightened path, attending many retreats and seminars, I never saw a group of people as open, vulnerable and empowered like I did at the Qi Activation Conference. What really resonated with me was that it was both experiential (hands on) and educational. You seem very at ease with speaking in front of so many. Was public speaking something that came natural for you?

DC: People say Orlando is your most powerful gathering because it draws thousands of aligned people for focused healing practice into one beautiful ballroom. Jeff, how can you afford to produce all the high production elements and sell tickets to a 4-day conference like this for only $129? And how does the group energy effect of so many people’s energy in the same room make a difference?

JP: The highest teachers of Qigong speak in shorter bursts of information. They are natural summarizers of complex teachings. Speech spoken at the core essence level can powerfully hold audience attention because it’s free of fluff. Talking about a pharmacy inside your own brain and activating latent healing abilities happen to be very interesting. Every year I speak to thousands of people, so I get lots of practice and learn new ways to refine the way I deliver the information. Humor also plays a role in how I teach at these big events. In high school I was a class clown and studied ways to make people laugh. At every seminar participants tell me I remind them of Adam Sandler, but I can’t see it. “Qigong Humor” is funny because we’re all so holistic and mental about the same issues, and sometimes we feel alone. Humor unifies people and that helps raise the energy.

JP: A master known as Dr. Yan Xin was perhaps the most influential Qigong figure of all time. He facilitated 30,000-person Qi-lectures inside stadiums. Due to the huge collective energy at these stadium events, many experienced the deepest levels of Qigong within hours and many miraculous healings were reported. Historically speaking, Qigong went from being practiced by almost no Chinese people in the 1970s to a mind blowing 200 million by the mid 1980s! This came to a screeching halt in 1999 when the Chinese government, for fear of an uprising, outlawed large Qigong events. I believe Qigong is Godconnecting, humbling, healing to the spirit, and unifies people, which is something the Chinese government is not supporting now. America is different, and I am proud to live where my President supports Qigong and the right to gather in freedom!

More Sleep Helps Shed Pounds

njoying more zzz’s is not usually associated with weight loss, but a growing number of epidemiological studies suggest that insufficient sleep may be linked to a greater risk of weight gain. The latest results from a study presented at the 2012 annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior points out that sleep behavior influences body weight by affecting not only how many calories we consume, but also how much energy we expend. When researchers at Tübingen and Lübeck universities, in Germany, and Uppsala University, in Sweden, investigated the effect of short-term sleep deprivation on hunger, physical activity and energy levels, they discovered that insufficient sleep increased the participants’ sensations of hunger by raising the level of the “hunger hormone”, ghrelin. The less sleep a person had, the hungrier they felt. After only one night of disrupted sleep, the volunteers moved around less and burned off fewer calories in their resting state than their counterparts that enjoyed a good night’s sleep.

Yoga Reduces Depression in Pregnant Women

regnancy hormones are known to cause myriad physical and emotional symptoms, including unexplainable mood swings. The fluctuations are more serious for one in five expectant moms because they also experience major depression. Now, a groundbreaking study by the University of Michigan offers new hope. Pregnant women identified as psychiatrically high-risk that participated in a 10-week mindfulness yoga intervention experienced significant reductions in their depressive symptoms. Mothers-to-be also reported stronger attachment to their babies in the womb.

WORKING OUT HOT FLASHES

Health researchers at Penn State report that menopausal women that exercise may experience fewer hot flashes in the 24 hours following physical activity.

ometimes referred to as the aristocrat of vegetables, asparagus has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. It was prized by ancient Greeks and Romans for its taste and reputed medicinal qualities, and 19th-century French bridegrooms, believing it was an aphrodisiac, frequently ate several helpings on the eve of their nuptials. The crop reaches its peak during April and May. Packing a fiber-filled punch of vitamins A and C, this princely veggie also delivers significant helpings of folate and rutin, which help to strengthen blood vessels. Its delicate flavor is best preserved by stir-frying or light steaming. Source: FruitsAndVeggiesMatter.gov

THE EXERCISE ADVANTAGE

aking a brisk walk or bike ride may stave off cognitive decline better than reaching for the daily crossword puzzle, says a new study published in the journal Neurology. Researchers at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh reviewed the medical records of more than 600 Scots born in 1936 that were given MRI scans at age 73. “People in their 70s that participated in more physical exercise, including walking several times a week, had less brain shrinkage and other signs of aging in the brain than those that were less physically active,” says study author Alan J. Gow, Ph.D. Surprisingly, the study showed that participating in mentally and socially stimulating activities, such as visiting family and friends, reading or even learning a new language, did little to ward off the symptoms of an aging brain. Study participants will undergo a second MRI scan at age 76, and researchers plan to compare the two scans to see if the links between exercise and better brain health hold up.

Fewer Scans May Lower Breast Cancer Risk

hile screening for breast cancer is important, women should avoid unnecessary medical imaging, according to a recent report issued by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) which identified two factors that increased the risk for the disease: post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy and radiation exposure from medical imaging. Physician Rebecca Smith-Bindman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California-San Francisco, who contributed to the IOM report, notes that CT scans and other forms of medical imaging have revolutionized medicine and can be lifesaving. However, she recommends that women engage their doctors in the decisionmaking process and discuss the necessity and safety of all potential radiological scans. To understand the risks and benefits, it’s suggested women ask their doctor: “Is this scan absolutely essential? Is it necessary to do it now? Are there other, alternative tests [such as thermography]? How can I be sure the test will be done in the safest way possible? Will having the scan information change the management of my disease? Can I wait until after seeing a specialist before getting the scan?”

Midwife-Led Birth Centers Improve Outcomes

omen that receive care at midwife-led birth centers incur lower medical costs and are less likely to have Caesarean births than women that give birth at hospitals, according to new findings by the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC). The rising number of Cesarean births in the United States (32 percent in 2010, according to the National Centers for Disease Control National Vital Statistics Report) has generated concern due to short- and long-term health implications for women, their newborns and future pregnancies. The AABC study, which included more than 15,500 women that received care in 79 midwife-led birth centers in 33 states from 2007 through 2010, found that fewer than 6 percent of the participants required a Caesarean birth, compared to nearly 24 percent similarly low-risk women cared for in a hospital setting. Birth centers—homelike facilities functioning within the health care system—are based on a wellness model of pregnancy and birth personalized to individual needs. “They are uniquely positioned to provide healthy women and their newborns with maternity care, avoiding unnecessary Caesarean births,” advises AABC PresidentElect Lesley Rathbun, a certified nurse midwife and family nurse practitioner. “Americans need to learn about the high-quality care that midwife-led birth centers offer.” Source: American College of Nurse-Midwives

BETTER CARE THROUGH MEDITATION

esearchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center, in New York, suggest that primary care practitioners can improve their communications skills and quality of care via training in mindfulness meditation. A majority of the doctors participating in a recent study reported experiencing an improved capacity to listen more attentively and respond more effectively to others, and do it in a more non-judgmental frame of mind. The scientists found that both doctors and their patients believed the quality of care improved following the training. Source: Academic Medicine

Progress has also been made in gender segregation within the labor market, with many previously male-dominated fields including law, banking, medicine and civil service jobs such as bus drivers and mail carriers opening up to women.

No one will laugh at me, ignore me or hurt my feelings. n I have the right to be myself. No one will treat me unfairly because I am fat or thin, fast or slow, strong or weak, a boy or girl. I am different because I am myself. n I have the right to be safe. No one will hit, kick, push or pinch me. I will be free from physical threats. n I have the right to hear and be heard. No one will yell, scream or shout and my opinions and desires will be considered in any plans we make. n I have the right to learn about myself. I will be free to express my feelings and opinions without being interrupted or punished. Bullying campers are warned that if they fail to honor these rights, they’ll be sent home.

Decisions, Decisions

Breaking Glass Ceilings Benefits the Bottom Line Women’s ability to make fair decisions amidst multiple and competing interests tend to make them better corporate leaders, researchers have found. A survey of more than 600 board directors showed that women are more likely to consider the rights of others and apply a cooperative approach to decision-making, which can result in better performance for their companies. The study, recently published in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, was conducted by Chris Bart, Ph.D., a professor of strategic market leadership at Canada’s DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario, and Gregory McQueen, senior associate dean at A.T. Still University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine, in Mesa, Arizona. Male directors, which made up 75 percent of survey participants, prefer to make decisions using rules, regulations and traditional ways of doing business or getting along. Meanwhile, female directors are less curtailed by these parameters and are more likely to try new and unconventional business methods. “We’ve known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results,” explains Bart. “Our findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing, but also the smart thing to do.” Yet women still only comprise approximately 9 percent of corporate board memberships worldwide.

Pill Chill

Birth Control Meds Foul Global Waters After ethinylestradiol (EE2), the active ingredient in most birth control pills, has done its duty in preventing pregnancy, it can begin a second life as a pollutant that harms wildlife, creating “intersex” fish and amphibians, and is difficult and costly to remove from wastewater streams that carry it into natural waterways. EE2 is only one of many synthetic hormones that humans excrete into wastewater. The European Union wants to upgrade 1,360 wastewater treatment plants to utilize necessary charcoal-filtering technology to tackle EE2 contamination across England and Wales. Meeting proposed limits will require expenditures of $41 billion to $47 billion, according to Richard Owen, a professor at the University of Exeter, in the UK. In the journal Nature, Owen and Susan Jobling, Ph.D., an ecotoxicologist at London’s Brunel University, write that more public debate on EE2 regulation is needed. “Animals are exquisitely sensitive to it,” observes Jobling. Owen queries: “Are we willing to pay this cost as a society or would we prefer to live with the environmental impact?” Source: LiveScience.com

Antibiotic-Free Meats are on the Rise Although sales of antibiotic-free meat comprise a tiny fraction of the total market, retailers like Whole Foods, Costco and Trader Joe’s cannot get enough antibiotic-free meat to meet the demand, according to a New York Times report. In a Consumer Reports National Research Center telephone survey, more than 60 percent of respondents said they would be willing to pay at least five cents a pound more for meat raised without antibiotics. For three years, Scott Sechler, owner of Bell & Evans, an organic meat processing company near Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania, has been feeding his chickens a specially milled diet laced with oregano oil and a touch of cinnamon as a method to fight off bacterial diseases that plague meat and poultry producers without resorting to antibiotics, which some experts say can be detrimental to the humans that eat the meat. Noodles & Company, a fast-growing chain of more than 300 restaurants, has added antibiotic-free pork to the ingredients customers can add to their pastas. It ensured a year’s supply in advance by committing to receiving cuts of meat that were not in relatively high demand. Dan Fogarty, executive vice president, remarks, “We’re deliberately voting with our pocketbooks.”

Aging Gracefully It’s No Mystery: We Now Know How by Kathleen Barnes

ost of us like to think that we’ll be vibrant, energetic, smart and yes, gorgeous, until the end of our lives. This isn’t an unattainable fantasy—even if past poor lifestyle choices may have tarnished some much-anticipated Golden Years. Fortunately, it’s never too late (or too early) to make key small changes that will immediately and profoundly influence our ability to live long and healthy lives. Experts recommend that a handful of simple, scientifically validated health strategies will help us age gracefully and beautifully. “Most of us are living longer, but not necessarily better,” advises Dr. Arlene Noodleman, medical co-director of Age Defy Dermatology and Wellness, in Campbell, California. “Many people face decades of chronic debilitating disease, but you can minimize or even eliminate that period of life and maximize health. It’s all about your lifestyle.”

Rules to Live By

Whether the goal is disease prevention, retaining a sharp mind, weight control, balancing hormones, maintaining good posture or supporting glowing skin, all the experts Natural Awakenings asked agree on a core strategy that can extend life and improve its quality in later years: Take a walk. Or, undertake another enjoyable form of outdoor exercise for about 30 minutes a day.

Greet the sun. Exposing bare skin to sunlight for 15 minutes three times a week allows natural production of vitamin D. Researchers at Boston University, Harvard University and others attest that sufficient doses of the vitamin help prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, obesity, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, relieve menopausal symptoms and support longevity. Drink plenty of water. Hydration is key to cell health and overall proper body functions. Aim for consuming one ounce of water every day for every two pounds of body weight. Eat a healthy diet. This means lots of vegetables and fish, some lean meats and poultry and moderate amounts of fruits and grains for weight control; abundant antioxidants to prevent deterioration that leads to chronic disease; and vital nutrients to support and extend life. Avoid sugars in all forms, simple carbohydrates, processed foods and for many, wheat and wheat gluten, especially for those with excess abdominal fat. Get a good night’s sleep. Eight hours is more than beauty sleep. Studies consistently report that it’s essential for energy and the prevention of a host of diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer (Nurses’ Health Study; plus UK research in Diabetes Care, the European Heart Journal and British Journal of Cancer). Regular turning in and waking times, plus sleeping in a dark room, are important to optimize melatonin production; it is not true that we need less sleep as we age. Use the right supplements. Take a high-quality multivitamin every day, preferably an organic product based on whole foods for optimum nutrition. Fish oil is also essential for nearly everyone for heart, brain and joint health. Vitamin D is critical, especially in the winter months and for darker-skinned people that need greater sun exposure to manufacture it. Also add curcumin; according to numerous clinical studies, including those from Baylor University and the University of California-Los Angeles, it can help prevent and even reverse cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoarthritis, skin diseases and digestive disorders.

Prevent Dementia

Caregivers for parents or other relatives with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia are often concerned about experiencing such regression themselves. “There is some evidence that a tendency to memory loss can be inherited, but in any case, there are things you can do to prevent and even possibly reverse memory loss,” counsels Noodleman. Reducing stress is the best way to keep a sharp mind, she says. “Chronic stress inhibits the cerebral cortex (the brain’s gray matter, responsible for higher mind function, including memory), resulting in a lack of judgment and other impaired brain function. So, manage stress and memory function will improve.” Deep breathing and increased oxygenation of the blood helps relieve stress and deliver nutrients to brain cells. Practicing yoga postures like the shoulder stand and headstand, or exercises using an inversion table, for just a few minutes a day can improve circulation to the brain and may help keep brain cells intact. “It’s important to keep brain cells healthy and alive by keeping blood sugars and blood pressure under control,” urges Doctor of Osteopathy Lisa Ganghu, an internal medicine specialist and clinical assistant professor at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, in New York City. High blood pressure and diabetes are risk factors for strokes and mini-strokes that result in brain cell impairment, she says, adding, “Some research even suggests that caffeine may improve memory and focus.” “Use it or lose it,” concludes Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, an integrative medical authority from Kona, Hawaii, and author of Real Cause, Real Cure. Extensive research shows that challenging the brain with puzzles and language courses, having an active social life and getting regular exercise are all related to maintaining optimum brain health. “People who age gracefully are physically and mentally active,” adds Noodleman.

largely plant-based diets, like the Mediterranean, to keep common repercussions of aging at bay. Teitelbaum contravenes traditional medicine’s stance and says that most people don’t need to worry about salt intake, even if they suffer from high blood pressure, noting, “Research shows that people that follow the national guidelines for salt intake tend to die younger. Instead, it’s important to keep magnesium and potassium levels up by adding 200 milligrams of magnesium and 500 milligrams of potassium to your supplement regimen every day.” To prevent and control diabetes, Teitelbaum emphasizes, “Avoid sugar; it causes premature cell aging that affects all body systems.” He explains that excess sugar and its byproducts age and stiffen cells. Dozens of studies directly link sugar and aging, including a PLoS Genetics study from the University of Montreal. (Also see Tinyurl.com/ GlycationExplained.) Reproducing cancer cells typically don’t die as other cells in the human body are programmed to. Recent research by Baylor University and others based on the Human Genome Project strongly suggests that curcumin taken as a dietary supplement (400 mg a day or more) can persuade cancer cells to commit suicide and stop their wild and potentially fatal reproduction.

Whole-Body Dry Brushing Dry brushing stimulates oil production, circulation that tightens skin and lymphatic drainage for detoxification and improved immune function. It also exfoliates. Using a moderately stiff brush with a long handle, start with the feet and vigorously brush eight long, smooth strokes in each of the listed areas, always brushing toward the heart: Soles of the feet • Tops of the feet Calves • Shins Both sides of lower legs Upper thighs • Inner thighs Backs of thighs • Buttocks Lower back • Sides (love handles) Belly • Breasts (very gently) Chest • Palms of hands Forearms, front and back Upper arms, inside, outside and back Upper back and shoulders Neck (brush toward the face in this instance only) Face (use a softer cosmetic brush or similar device) Source: Teresa Tapp, an exercise physiologist and nutritional counselor, in Safety Harbor, FL

Prevent Disease

A proper diet is a good place to start to take control. Ganghu recommends

Ganghu further recommends limiting exposure to environmental toxins from sources such as common garden and household chemicals and agricultural spraying (choose organic for safety).

Weight Control

A large body of research from institutions such as the National Institute on Aging and the International Longevity Center shows that avoiding obesity and managing weight is paramount for longevity, as well as for preventing many of the diseases associated with aging. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that people with a body mass index (BMI) over 35 are at an 18 percent higher risk of earlier death from all causes than those that maintain a normal body weight (BMI of 25 or under). Hormones can be a factor in weight gain for perimenopausal and menopausal women, says Ganghu, so it is important to be tested. She also notes, “A loss of muscle mass due to aging can affect weight because muscle tissue is metabolically more active than fat tissue, creating a vicious circle.” She recommends strength training to improve muscle strength and mass. Typically, two 20-minute sessions a week with moderate weights are enough to create “Michelle Obama arms,” says Kathy Smith of Park City, Utah, a DVD fitness entrepreneur and a spokesperson for the International Council on Active Aging.

Good Posture

“We spend a lot of time driving, working on computers and other activities with our arms in front of us. This causes chest muscles to contract and become tight as we age, drawing the head forward and rounding the spine, which produces a pronounced slouch,” says Smith, author of Feed Muscle, Shrink Fat Diet. Bending, stretching and strength training strengthens the shoulder and back muscles that help us stay upright. Smith recommends a “walking desk”, essentially a treadmill with a board across the arms where a laptop can rest, and the user walks at only one to two miles per hour. “You’re moving, not sitting, and that is really important,” says Smith.

Yoga postures like the cobra and the bow are also helpful, as are visits to a chiropractor or other structural therapist.

Healthy Skin

“Your skin is a roadmap of your overall health,” says Dr. Rick Noodleman, a dermatologist who practices anti-aging medicine in California’s Silicon Valley with his wife. He explains that skin aging is caused by the three D’s: deflation, descent and deterioration. All of them can be reversed. Deflation is the loss of volume and moisture, which can be offset by proper internal hydration, healthy nutrition and good moisturizers. “People can make new collagen well into their 80s and even 90s,” he says. Deterioration is the loss of skin tone and elasticity that can accompany stress, poor diet and lack of exercise. Noodleman recommends regular exfoliation of skin on the face (an economical home facial with baking soda and water or eggs is high on his list) and dry brushing the whole body. He also notes that new laser treatments, acupressure facelifts and other spa treatments can help temporarily minimize wrinkles and bring back a youthful glow. It’s not hard to be vibrant, healthy and energetic at any age if one is living a healthy lifestyle. “I feel like I am 30. I expect to feel that way for the rest of my life,” says the 60-something Teitelbaum. “Of course, I’m not at the beach in a Speedo,” he quips. “Who wants to look 20? There is also a certain beauty in age.” Kathleen Barnes is a freelance writer, book author and blogger. Her most recent title is 10 Best Ways to Manage Stress. Learn more at KathleenBarnes.com.

S PRING DETOX Gentle Natural Cleansing Works Best by Linda Sechrist

o secure optimum performance, maximize lifespan and maintain the warranty of vehicles, knowledgeable drivers follow the regular maintenance needs recommended in the owner’s manual. Similarly, many health practitioners, integrative physicians and chiropractors suggest that periodically cleansing the body’s inside works—flushing toxins and enabling the digestive process and organs like the liver and kidney to rest and reset—aids in maintaining, restoring and optimizing health. Whether seeking a dramatic cleanup and clearing out or a simple tune-up, a natural, detoxifying cleanse eliminates accumulations of unwanted substances. Doctor of Chiropractic and Nutritionist Linda Berry, of Albany, California, and Brenda Watson, ReNew Life founder and a certified nutritional consultant from Clearwater, Florida, are recognized authorities on the subject. Berry’s Internal Cleansing and Watson’s series of six books on digestive health that began with Renew Your

Life stress that the process may be both a missing link in Western nutrition and a key to returning Americans to health. They both believe that specific medical concerns—including allergies, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders and body pains—are directly related to toxicity, which responds well to gentle detoxification. Their suggestions for reducing the overload based on 60 years of combined experience include eliminating proinflammatory processed foods, alcohol, coffee, refined sugars and bad fats; increasing daily intake of healthy, organic, fiber-rich foods; and gently cleansing at least twice a year, using a natural approach.

How to Begin

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the onset of spring and fall suggest appropriate times for internal cleansing. Although strictly protein drink fasts are not encouraged, a minimum of 20

Palm Beach Edition

grams of high-quality protein should be consumed daily. Read labels and pick a sugarless protein powder. A simple one-day, weekend or seven-day cleanse for experienced or inexperienced individuals begins every morning with a total body dry skin brushing prior to showering, and then drinking a minimum of 10, eight-ounce glasses of water throughout the day. This includes a tasty green juice drink, followed by an eight-ounce glass of water for breakfast, lunch and a healthy afternoon snack. Watson’s favorite green cleansing recipe consists of liquefying one-and-a-half cucumbers, two stalks of celery, half a Granny Smith apple, a handful of spinach or any other type of green vegetable, a few sprigs of parsley and a tiny piece of lemon. Then, an hour after breakfast and lunch, sip a cup of herbal tea, take two or three capsules of spirulina and two capsules of omega-3. For dinner, liquefy one teaspoon of red miso paste in eight ounces of hot water and add five sprigs of wakame seaweed. “To fight hunger during the day, drink more water with lemon or ginger, warm herbal tea or green juices,” advises Watson. To increase fiber intake, Berry suggests placing ingredients in a VitaMix or the more affordable NutriBullet, which pulverizes everything added, even whole flax seeds. Juicers, which are harder to clean after using, separate the liquid from the fibrous pulp, which human intestines need to create at least two daily bowel movements. Add oat or rice bran, citrus pectin or other national fibers as a bulk agent. A natural, non-chlorinated water enema using simple home apparatus available at local stores can also be incorporated into the regimen, as necessary, “An enema [initially] affects only the intestine’s lower third, so hold in the room-temperature water for five to 15 minutes, if possible,” suggests Berry.

What to Avoid

Safe, over-the-counter solutions for colon cleansing generally promote colon health and can nicely supplement a fast. Avoid products that contain senna leaf and cascara sagrada, which are potent laxatives.

Umeboshi Tea Umeboshi plums, termed “the king of alkaline foods”, are a species of apricots from Japan. A pickled fruit, they have a sour and salty flavor. Drinking umeboshi tea alkalizes the blood and works to relieve fatigue, nausea and indigestion while restoring energy. Makes 1 cup. Drink one a day for one month. 1 umeboshi plum, rinse 1 cup purified water ½ tsp Japanese kuzu powder 2 or 3 drops tamari or gluten-free tamari 1. Remove seed from the plum. Cut remaining plum into small pieces or mash. 2. Place plum pieces, water and kuzu in a small sauce pan. Stir or whisk to dissolve the powder. It will look like milk with pink bumps.

Watson and Berry don’t recommend rigid “crash and burn” cleanses, such as those consisting solely of protein drinks or raw juices or lemon juice and water with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. “It’s better to cleanse gently with fresh green juices with meals consisting of brown rice and either raw, lightly steamed or roasted vegetables,” counsels Watson. “Any detox program, if followed by eating whatever you want, not only doesn’t work, it has consequences,” adds Berry, who strongly advises easing back into a sensible diet after a cleanse. She notes that one client became ill from breaking her detox with a meal of barbeque ribs and beer. Linda Sechrist is a senior staff writer for Natural Awakenings.

“Actively engaging with my mom has enabled me to balance my independence with a dependable bond, which helps me grow into my true self. Plus, it allows my mom to know the real me.” ~ Eliza Reynolds

or many, the strong mother-daughter bond seems to suddenly unravel when adolescence appears. “Parenting is exasperating and wears you out,” sighs Heather Thomas, of Houston, Texas, a mother of three, including 16-year-old Mary Meghan. Mothers can gain some comfort in the biological reasons for the onset of emotionally charged arguments and repeated curfew violations. It begins with changes in the brain caused by an increase in the hormones that stimulate girls’ ovaries, and by age 10 or 11, the hormones become elevated to levels comparable to those of postmenopausal women. Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom, points out that in addition to experiencing mood swings and temperature changes similar to those of menopausal women, girls’ rising estrogen, unbalanced by progesterone, may likewise produce brain irritability. “It’s no wonder girls are both cuddling with and screaming at you in the same day,” she

points out. Nurse Practitioner Sil Reynolds, who co-authored Mothering & Daughtering with her daughter Eliza, gently reminds mothers, “The mother-adolescent daughter relationship is asymmetrical. Mothers are responsible for being the adult in the relationship as their daughters grow up. Understanding this can be a relief to both of you.” Part of the responsibility of being an adult is to provide a safe psychological and emotional environment for children without taking things personally. The frontal cortex responsible for making decisions is still developing in the adolescent brain. Weathering mood swings and reactive outbursts, mothers can learn to remain steady, understanding that teens are not capable of giving back equally because their minds have not yet fully matured. “That’s how teens learn to return to a calm place, by seeing our mom remain steady through our storms,” Eliza observes.

Powerful Role Models

Northrup believes that a daughter’s peers play a large role in her successfully navigating the teen years, but emphasizes that, “A mother’s influence wins. Be consistent in your loving and clear about rules and boundaries, while encouraging a sense of their own worth and autonomy.” Teenagers are anxious to grow up and do their own thing, but until they have internalized safe and reasonable boundaries, they need someone else to establish them. Northrup reports how teen clients that were given too much freedom… “come in aching for boundaries and feel that their parents don’t care about them. It is the parents’ job to create healthy, though not rigid, boundaries.” What has worked for Heather is to casually join Mary Meghan in her room with an intention to be present and actively listen to her. “I say something simple like, ‘I have missed you,’ and then allow her to open up to me without being critical or judgmental,” she explains. “Sometimes we listen to music or look at outfits in magazines together.” “Girls know when you’re paying attention, and your tone and body language speak louder than words,” confirms Eliza. She also notes that, “How was your day?” doesn’t work as well as the more specific, “How did your test go?” As with any relationship, there are occasional conflicts and misunderstandings, but there’s always potential for repair. Eliza and Sil encourage mothers and daughters to reconnect through the repair process; with heartfelt restoration, the bond grows stronger.

Helpful Activities

Everyone benefits from regularly scheduled quality time together. Sil advises, “For households with siblings, this can mean 10 one-on-one minutes a day for each kid. When both parents aren’t under the same roof, technology can help—face time is better than texting, whether it’s through a screen or not.” Some mother-daughter teams enjoy taking dance classes together, having movie dates or pairing up as volunteers. At their weekend workshops, the Reynolds engage in projects and conversations about what it means to invite spirituality and a sense of sacredness into one’s life. Sil sees firsthand how many mothers and daughters are “hungry for spiritual depth.” Heather’s family makes dinners, school vacations and church activities a priority, including a youth program. She says, “Through our church, we are blessed to have caring, Christian adults we trust to help guide and raise our kids and help formulate their morals. It’s a place where it’s okay to question beliefs and share differing viewpoints.” Many moms seek better bonds with their daughters than what they experienced as teens. Heather notes, “I only see my mother a couple times a year, and when I do, I give her an extra hug and apologize [both jokingly and seriously] for my own teen years. Now, having teen girls of my own, I get how hard it is, and I tell her that every time I see her.” For more information and tools, visit MotheringAndDaughtering.com. Meredith Montgomery publishes Natural Awakenings of Mobile/Baldwin, AL (HealthyLivingHealthyPlanet.com).

Key Family Communication Tools Avoid the use of absolutes (never, always, everyone, forever) because they leave no room for differing opinions or shared responsibility for problems. For example, replace “always” with “often,” or “everyone” with “a lot of people.” Soften statements by turning heated one-liners into “I” statements. Say, “I feel like you don’t call when you say you will,” rather than, “You never call when you say you will.” Instead of open-ended questions, try a three-word check-in. Both mother and daughter share three words that describe their current emotional state honestly and authentically. Take turns sharing. There is no need to explain why these words were chosen, but it can give both parties a better glimpse into each other’s current state of heart and mind.

A Daughter’s Go-To Guidelines by Eliza Reynolds Don’t give up. When you give up, you are asking your mom to give up on you. Instead of stating, “She’ll never get me or trust me and she’ll always embarrass me,” help her to meet the real you. Stay real. Be authentic and genuine (no BS). If you want to talk, try starting with a simple, “Hey, Mom, I’ve got something I want to talk to you about. Could just the two of us consult for a minute?” Yes, your mom may be eerily on point sometimes, but she can’t actually read your mind (Surprise!). Build the relationship you want and need. It’s the one where you get along. She listens when you’re talking and you want to listen, too. It’s normal for this to take work. When you choose to be half of this two-person team that’s key to your well-being, teenage life becomes easier. I call it the art of daughtering. Just imagine what life could be like if your mom was your greatest ally. Connect with Eliza Reynolds via MotheringAndDaughtering.com.

I know I have too much stuff, but it all has sentimental value. Morgenstern recommends using tools to manage memories, such as photographing an object that represents a person, and then using that photo as a contact icon on your phone. She suggests considering, “Is this the best representation of that person or time of my life, or just another example?”

Clutter-Taming Tips

Save Time, Money and Sanity by April Thompson

Labels abound: pack rat, clutter bug and hoarder. Just the thought of confessing that our clutter needs conquering can inspire shame, anxiety and dread. It helps to remember that it’s human to accumulate, divine to purge.

“

e’re hardwired to be hunters and gatherers and feather our nests, but you have to consider the life energy you spend maintaining all those things. The tradeoff is often huge,” says home organizing expert Barbara Tako, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, author of Clutter Clearing Choices. Seventy percent of Americans feel buried under their clutter and can’t decide what to give up, according to an online poll by award-winning organizer Julie Morgenstern, of New York City. She has found that while the clutter may be physical, the process of shedding it is 80 percent mental. “Decluttering is identifying what is obsolete in your life and releasing it to make room to move forward,” advises the author of Shed your Stuff, Change your Life. “Ask yourself, what am I clearing space for—more family time, a social

life or inner peace?” That higher goal is a touchstone for what to keep and what to pitch. Following are common clutter-based roadblocks and tips from professional organizers on how to get around them.

I’m so overwhelmed I don’t know where to start. Tako encourages cli-

ents to start with the visible clutter, such as junk accumulated in an entryway, and take 10 to 15 minutes to tackle the area. “People are always surprised by how much they can accomplish in a short time,” she comments. Morgenstern recommends making a checklist, starting with the areas with the most obsolete stuff and the least sentimental attachments. “The first one is the hardest, but you’ll probably find a lot of opened space if you can get through a few areas; then there is a cascading effect as you move forward.”

I might need this someday.

Tako encourages people to enlist a clutter buddy, “an objective set of eyes who will set you straight when you hold up a skirt that’s out of style.” Morgenstern suggests asking, “What is more important to me… this object I don’t have any immediate need for or the space I’ll have by getting rid of it?”

I don’t have time to declutter now. Morgenstern acknowledges most

people are “time-starved”, and cleaning out their closets is the last thing they want to do with precious free time. Yet clutter costs us time and money because, “You end up losing things, wasting valuable real estate and replacing things you forgot you had,” she notes. It also hinders our ability to focus and process information, because visual clutter divides and competes for a person’s limited attention span, according to a recent study by the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute. For more motivation, imagine the joy of finding buried treasure. Morgenstern reports that nearly all of her clients find some form of funds, whether uncashed checks, objects with resale value or cash.

I sorted piles a few months ago and now they’re back. Los An-

geles organizer and blogger John Trosko encourages people to be upfront with loved ones about holidays and special occasions, asking that they curtail gifts and instead give non-tangible forgetme-nots like gift certificates or favorite services. Trosko also suggests making a list before shopping and steering clear of megastores to keep impulse spending in check. Tako and Trosko both discourage purchasing “unitaskers” such as a salad spinner that takes up significant space

but rarely get used. Another good rule of thumb is, “one in, one out,” discarding something every time we purchase a new item. Even armed with the best decluttering tips, the process can seem daunting. Morgenstern encourages us to suspend self-judgment while weeding through possessions and keep remembering our higher goals. “Your stuff is a reflection of who you are and what you aspire to,” she notes. “It’s a challenge to get it all in alignment, but an incredible opportunity, too.”

Find Good Homes for Clutter

ou’ve done the hard work of decluttering. Now what? In the past, options were limited to a garage sale or local landfill. Today, we have countless ways to give new life to old things, whether selling them online, donating to charities for a tax deduction, supplying needed materials to schools or returning items to the manufacturers for recycling. Here are some more ideas. Books: Consider joining the free PaperbackBookSwap.com. Each book mailed between members earns a credit redeemable for other books posted on the site. Or, donate books at BetterWorldBooks.com to help fund world literacy. Clothing: Tried-and-true organizations like The Salvation Army, Planet Aid and Dress for Success always welcome clothing donations, while public and private clothes swaps present a fun, social way to thin out closets and acquire some signature pieces. Attendees bring a minimum number of items that are arranged by organizers by type and size. Then, when the signal is given, participants excitedly rush to try on new-to-them pieces that catch their eye. Meetup.com lists local community swaps; make it a party theme and invite friends.

Losing weight and gaining it back, over and over can be due to medical issues left uncorrected.

It’s time to get to the root of your problems: Are your thyroid, testosterone and other hormones in balance? Do you feel fatigued, have indigestion, fluid retention, cravings, depression? Do you have sleeping problems? Are you stressed with high Cortisol? Dr. Lacayo will help you solve these problems and place you on a specific program to fit your individual needs.

Electronics: Most communities hold spring e-waste drives to collect old electronics for responsible disposal and sponsor year-round drop-off sites. Otherwise, search GreenerGadgets.org by zip code to find local retailers that e-cycle. Sell working electronics through eBay.com or IOffer.com. Even small items like old phone chargers often sell easily online. Eyeglasses: Millions of pairs of eyeglasses are discarded annually while millions of people in developing countries need vision correction. Donate old prescription or out-of-style specs to a nonprofit like One Sight (OneSight.org) or New Eyes (NewEyesForTheNeedy.org) that will refurbish and send them to healthcare missions around the world. Odds and Ends: What about that never-used yogurt maker or crimping iron? Local chapters of The Freecycle Network (Freecycle.org) participating in this 9-million-member virtual community facilitate posting any item, large or small, to give away to neighboring members that agree to pick it up at the donor’s door.

Edible Hormones Health Support for Women by Sayer Ji and Tania Melkonian

n addition to relieving symptoms of menopause and andropause and helping maintain a normal, balanced hormone system, healthy eating can yield many other benefits. According to U.S. National Library of Medicine research reports, these include weight management, bone health and fertility and natural defenses against breast and prostate cancers and osteoarthritis symptoms. Despite drug-free approaches to hormone health that predate synthesized 20th-century hormone replacement therapy, the pharmaceutical industry has all but vanquished eating appropriately nutritious foods as a means to balancing hormones. Why do people embrace external sourcing when natural internal functioning is the better, less costly and more permanent solution? Even the current bio-identical upgrade of hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may lead to some biological dependency on these substances. Appropriate BHRT should include an analysis of how the individual uniquely metabolizes hormones and functional foods that can help. An edible approach to hormone health provides deep nourishment for glands, enabling increased production of what they lack due to changes associated with age or illness. Healthy eating likewise reduces the activity of excess hormones already in the

body, beneficially mimicking their previous function without the unwanted side effects. Here are some leading food aids to get us there.

Pomegranate

The resemblance of the inner topography of a pomegranate to an ovary is more than poetic homage. Pre-Renaissance Western herbalists commonly held that a plant food’s visual similarity to a human organ indicated a positive health correlation. Research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology on pomegranates by Japanese scientists revealed that the seeds and fleshy capsules within which they are suspended, called arils, contain estrogens structurally similar to those found in mammals. Preclinical results published in Phytochemistry may explain why extracts of these plant-derived bio-identical hormones mimicking estradiol, estriol and estrone are capable of replacing the function of an ovary. A Japanese study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology reported that female mice whose ovaries had been removed and were later fed pomegranate juice and pomegranate seed extract for two weeks showed reversals in bone loss, uterine weight loss and anxiety.

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts, collard and mustard greens and the root vegetables kohlrabi and rutabaga contain glucosinolates, which help protect DNA from damage, according to a study published in Current Science. Also, ever-increasing preclinical and clinical evidence shows that consuming cruciferous vegetables reduces the risk of more than 100 health problems, including a wide range of cancers, like those affecting the bladder and breasts.

Flax

Unwelcome symptoms of perimenopause (which can last years before the completion of menopause) can be offset through daily ingestion of ground flax, which can be added to cereals, salads and other foods. Ground flaxseed mixed with dried berries is particularly palatable. As the ovarian reserve of naturally manufactured hormones exhausts itself and prompts an imbalance, flaxseed is particularly effective in rebalancing levels of desirable estrogen metabolites, such as breast-friendly 2-hydroxylestrone. It contains a fiber, lignin, that upon digestion produces two important phytoestrogens capable of stimulating the body’s natural estrogen receptors in cases of estrogen deficiency and blocking both synthetic and natural estrogen when there is excess (as with estrogen-dominant conditions from puberty to menopause). These properties have been confirmed in human clinical studies performed at the University of Toronto’s Department of Nutritional Sciences and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Thus, flaxseed may be considered a source of plant “estrogen” capable of prompting regression of estrogen-sensitive cancers, including those of the breast and prostate. Extremely versatile in culinary applications, combining flaxseed with ground cumin provides a medicinally potent homemade seasoning supporting women’s hormonal health.

Cumin

Cumin—actually a fruit disguised as a spice—has tremendous hormone-modulating properties recently confirmed by findings in Experimental Biology and Medicine. Japanese scientists demonstrated that cumin seeds can inhibit loss of bone density and strength as effectively as estrogen in a female rat model of age-associated osteoporosis. They further found that the cumin seeds did not have estrogen’s weight-promoting and possible carcinogenic effects on the uterus. Imagine the potent hormone-balancing properties of a dinner of steamed rutabaga dressed with ground flaxseeds and cumin with a side of mustard greens with olive oil and pomegranate dressing. It beats a serving of Premarin with a serving of unwanted side effects any day. Sayer Ji is the founder of GreenMed Info.com and advisory board member of the National Health Federation.

brain news What works for Depression, ADHD and Anxiety? How do you overcome lifelong patterns of ADHD, depression, and anxiety? These are stuck brain patterns. Neurofeedback is a powerful tool to help change these patterns. It’s based on neuroplasticity – your brain’s ability to change itself. To solve the problem, you must break the pattern.

Why is neurofeedback helpful? 1) It's simple to do. 2) There are no known side eﬀects. 3) Research shows almost anyone can change their brain pattern (EEG) with neurofeedback. As changes occur you commonly see improved brain function – from attention to mood, to cognitive performance. 4) It’s based on solid science and 40 years of research. A well done study with ADHD and neurofeedback showed some children were able to reduce or eliminate medications.

Neurofeedback training helps your brain function better –

improving attention, mood, Neurofeedback is brain exercise that helps improve brain function. It’s also social skills, learning, mental used for migraines, addiction, brain speed, and sleep. That means injury and stroke. you learn patterns to allow you to be less reactive, stay calmer, make decisions more easily, and have greater emotional stability.

INSTINCTS TO HEED

by Dr. Judith Orloff

istening to our instincts can help us stay safe and deal better with lifeor-death decisions. Making the most of the wisdom of this inner voice also enables us to live a more satisfying life in the moment. How do we choose which gut feelings to trust?

Listening to Inner Wisdom

Listening to our body’s subtle signals is a critical part of exercising an intuitive sense. The body is a powerful intuitive communicator, delivering early warning signs when anything feels off, weak or just not right, so that we can address it sooner, rather than later.

“I’m in danger.” Social conditioning

has helped to create unconscious beliefs that can cause flawed first impressions and ill-advised snap decisions; it’s vital that we check our subjective feelings against mental rationalizations. If some person or situation feels untrustworthy, pause to pay attention, even if the feeling might later be proved inaccurate.

“I want to help.” Evolution has inher-

ently enabled us to quickly “read” faces and other emotional signals. For example, the sympathy instinct nudges us to change the subject when wedding talk makes a newly divorced colleague cringe or general conversation about past rough landings makes an airplane seatmate nervous—sub-

tle gestures that can make a big difference in another’s day.

“I know how to do this.” When tempted to overthink something we know how to do, try a little therapeutic distraction, such as saying the alphabet backwards when a yoga teacher leads the class into a dreaded handstand. Briefly engaging the mind with something other than the task at hand can leave our instincts free to do their job and enjoy the fulfillment that diligent practice has made possible.

“This is it!” Most people have a great

“I just knew it was right” story. It might be about the time they first spotted their sweetheart or crossed the threshold of their new house. When intuition signals that we’ve found something or someone truly right for us, the choice often becomes easy. It feels healthy and good, without resistance or conflict. Using our instincts helps lead us to smart choices that improve our quality of life. Judith Orloff, M.D., is the author of the international bestseller Second Sight, upon which these tips are based. An assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California-Los Angeles, Orloff synthesizes the pearls of traditional medicine with cutting-edge knowledge of intuition and energy medicine.

What are some best practices once you commit to the process?

dating allows her to essentially create a love life from scratch. The problem is that most people think they can just go online and succeed, without realizing that there’s an actual skill to it. You can’t just shop for a partner the way you can order up other things on the Internet.

Don’t write an online profile that’s full of adjectives, activities and clichés. Telling a story that illustrates who you are is much more enticing. Post a picture taken within the past year, have a clever user name and write initial emails that are funny and confident. I like the idea of flirting with a potentially special someone online, moving from email to the phone and making plans for a real-life date over the course of about a week. That’s a good, organic process. My preference is to meet for drinks on a Saturday night, but it doesn’t have to be cocktails if that’s not your scene. I just like the romantic atmosphere of meeting for drinks because dinner dates tend to be too static and coffee dates are too casual. The goal is not to meet tons of people as quickly as possible. The goal is to build up trust and rapport via email and phone communications, so that when you do go on a first date, it’s comfortable and actually feels like a second date. I encourage my clients to go on real dates, not interviews.

Can you share some tips for singles just starting out?

Many people make a list of qualities they desire in a partner. What do you think should top that list?

Seeking Soulmates Online Coach Evan Marc Katz’s Advice for Internet Dating by Kim Childs

atural Awakenings recently launched its own online dating site, which got us wondering… what does it take to find that ideal someone? We decided to call on dating coach Evan Marc Katz, author of I Can’t Believe I’m Buying This Book: A Commonsense Guide to Successful Internet Dating, for advice. Katz, who calls himself a personal trainer for love, coaches successful women in the art of successful dating. He says that while online dating simply makes sense in today’s world, it’s important to do it wisely.

Online dating is nearly the norm these days. What has changed? It’s a perfect marriage of technology and opportunity. There are about 100 million singles in the United States, and everyone has a personal computer and a phone, which allows us to connect immediately with people we’d never meet in the course of our day-to-day life. Think about a woman in her 40s that wants to date and lives in a suburb with kids, has a full-time job and whose friends are all married; it can be hard for someone like that to meet men. Online

I created an audio series called Finding the One Online, in which I share best practices and some key mistakes to avoid. For example, people sign up for online dating for a month and expect to fall in love in 30 days. That’s like being 50 pounds overweight, signing up for a one-month gym membership and quitting after only losing three pounds because you didn’t meet your goal. The process of finding a good match is more like training for a marathon—you can’t log on and manifest a partner right away by talking to everyone on the site in a month’s time. That’s completely unrealistic, and yet it’s the number one reason people fail, because they expect too much too soon and don’t stick around long enough to learn how to use the system.

The things that sustain a marriage are kindness, consistency, compromise, laughter, shared values and trust. Those should be at the top of your list, instead of height, weight, age or income. The problem is that such qualities may not appear in someone’s online profile or even on the first date. Too many couples make decisions based on chemistry, and that can be a terrible predictor of success for a lasting romantic relationship.

Bicycling is fun, safe and easier and faster than any other mode of transportation. It saves me money, makes me healthy and above all else, brings me joy every day. ~ Elly Blue

A Passion for Pedaling

Hop on a Bike and Go Lean and Green by Debra Melani

Trading in the car keys for more two-wheeled time could curb many of society’s woes, from spiraling healthcare costs to deepening carbon footprints. Yet, the main reason many bicyclists love going for a spin is that it yields a greater sense of well-being and contributes to a healthier, more rewarding life.

“

know it sounds crazy to say that bicycling is a silver bullet for all of these things, but I think it is,” says Elly Blue, 34, author of the recently released book, Everyday Bicycling: How to Ride a Bike for Transportation. Blue’s life was transformed when she made a bicycle part of her daily world; so much so that she now dedicates her writing career largely to the subject.

“Bicycling is just so much more rewarding than driving,” remarks Tammy Strobel, 34, who gained national attention with her husband when they simplified their lives by building a 128-squarefoot house. Cycling to work and to run

errands was “a huge” piece of their transformation, even after the couple hauled their tiny abode from Portland, Oregon, (where Blue also resides) to a cattle ranch in California. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans that generally bike to work grew by 43 percent between 2000 and 2008, a statistic that doesn’t surprise Blue. She first tried bike commuting after growing weary of relying on the bus system. “I got hooked on just how good it felt. It’s like flying.” Blue soon found that cycling was also a faster way to commute, restoring control of her

schedule, reducing stress and boosting her happiness. Strobel, who adds that enjoying nature and increasing daily exercise are also cycling benefits, says it’s bolstered her happiness and quality of life. “I don’t have to spend time going to the gym,” explains the freelance writer and photographer. “I’m getting my exercise on my bike. I feel healthier and in better shape now.” Several studies show dramatic health benefits for bike commuters. The Archives of Internal Medicine reported that when University of Copenhagen researchers analyzed mortality from all causes in 13,445 women and 17,441 men, they found that non-bike commuters, even those otherwise physically active, had a 39 percent higher mortality rate during the 14-year study period than those that biked to work. In another study, researchers followed 67,143 women in Shanghai (of whom more than 75 percent cycled) and found those that used bikes had a 20 to 50 percent lower risk of earlier mortality than their non-regularly exercising counterparts. They also boasted reduced rates of diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease (American Journal of Epidemiology). Studies published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health further found that countries with higher numbers of biking or walking commuters have lower obesity rates. Cycling boons transcend health benefits, expanding social circles for example, Blue and Strobel agree. “I was introduced to a whole new community,” Strobel recalls of her time in Portland with new cycling friends that she joined for group rides and camping trips. Blue suggests finding fellow cyclists by seeking riding groups online or participating in charity rides. She observes

Two-thirds of American women think their community would be a better place to live if riding a bike were safer and more comfortable. ~ Princeton Survey Research Associates poll that cycling can instill a greater sense of community, because it’s easier to stop and interact with others. Cycling also makes people greener and leaner. It reduces gas and car maintenance costs, while keeping polluting vehicles off the road, observes Strobel, who cleared college and other debt by making her life transformation. “There are just so many benefits to bicycling, and they are all really big things that contribute to the quality of life,” advises Strobel. “It feels so good to be on my bike and just slow down. In my old life, I was moving at such a fast pace that I didn’t even notice the change of seasons. With cycling, you notice everything.” For biking and other life-simplifying tips, follow both women on their blogs: Blue at TakingTheLane.com/blog and Strobel at RowdyKittens.com/ archives.

Outdoor Options for Feline Friends Safe Ways to Let Them Explore by Sandra Murphy

hile some cats are content to stay indoors, others want to go outside. Even if they remain in the yard, letting them out without a plan can put them in danger. Gently managing a cat’s outdoor experience can instead ensure a consistently safe, enjoyable time without worry or compromising its freedom. A few guidelines will help.

Cats love to chew on greenery, so set up a small pot or two or a small flat of grasses. Most cats enjoy munching on oat or wheat grasses and relish treats of fresh catnip and catmint. Marigolds can repel fleas and basil will both ward off mosquitoes and complement family meals. Many plants can be toxic. Veterinar-

ian Jane Brunt, executive director of the nonprofit CATalyst Council, in Annapolis, Maryland, advises: “Make sure the plants in your garden are safe, in case your cat is tempted to taste anything. Say no to foxglove and lily species, since they’re poisonous to cats.” Find an extensive list of both safe and problem plants at Tinyurl.com/ ASPC-ToxicPlantGuide. Note that aloe vera, asparagus fern, philodendron, dieffenbachia, tomatoes and many varieties of ivy are also among species that can cause consequences ranging from an upset stomach to kidney failure and even death, if ingested.

sudden change in weather, the cat can avoid heat stroke or a scary storm.” Then there’s the live entertainment factor: “Cats love vertical space, so a cat tree or actual tree limb, properly anchored, can let him have a better view of birds, lizards, toads, chipmunks and squirrels without harming them,” she says. “It’s like kitty television.”

Go for a Walk

“During the day, problems can include stray cats, hawks or loose dogs. Another danger is the movement of foxes, raccoons, coyotes and owls close to urban areas where the food supply is more plentiful. Elderly cats are particularly prone to harm. An enclosure is the best way to keep a cat safe outdoors.” Paris Permenter and John Bigley, bloggers at CatTipper.com, an online magazine for cat lovers, built a “catio” for daytime use by their felines. Located in Cedar Park, Texas, their four rescue cats need protection from coyotes. “It’s attached to our house, like a small screened porch,” explains Permenter. “The cats use an open window that’s fitted with a cat flap for access; we also have a human-sized screened door, so that we can go in to clean the room. It’s enriched their lives and given a former community cat a better home, as well.” In Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Jane Dorsey, volunteer coordinator for the Cat Care Society, utilizes “habicats” both at the shelter and at home. Because her first cat, Chessie, was an escape artist, Dorsey decided to use a large dog pen (12 feet long by six feet tall) as an enclosure. Stood on end, it attaches to the house and has a weatherproof panel roof. A cat door leads to the kitchen. “Chessie’s personality improved because she was able to decide when to go in and out. For easy cleanup, we used pavers for flooring.” In lieu of safe garden access, experts suggest likewise setting aside a small area inside any enclosure for a pot of plants. Also, pet tents made by Sturdi Products and Kritter Kommunity facilitate more portable enclosures. Houlihan finds that, “In case of a

A mesh-enclosed stroller allows a cat to ride in safety while the walker burns calories. In case of a sudden noise or loose dog, the cat can’t escape. Houlihan also recalls a patient called Uti (pronounced YOU-tee), that was prone to chewing electrical cords. “His owners now take him outside for a daily stroll; he’s no longer bored and has quit chewing.”

Adopted from a local shelter as a kitten, Makai also goes for accompanied walks. Due to heavy traffic near their Baltimore, Maryland, row home, Andrea Martin, a manager with Brand Public Relations, and her husband Nick, use a harness and leash to take her outside. “We often get the, ‘You’re taking your cat for a walk?’ look,” relates Martin, but that hasn’t stopped this adventurous team. “She likes taking a break from being indoors,” she explains. Make sure the harness fit is tight enough so the cat can’t wiggle out of it. With proper planning, any kitty can safely enjoy the great outdoors and the sun on its back.

Natural Solutions to Pain, Inflammation, Injuries and Aging Cameron Bishop DAOM, L.Ac.

nflammation in the body is linked to many conditions including head aches, migraines, chronic pain, IBS, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, allergies, cognitive decline and just plain aging. Prevention is the best medicine. The second best strategy is to slow down the disease progression. No matter where you are in the cycle, there are simple things that can have long term proven benefits. Our joints are mostly water and keeping well hydrated often increases energy, joint function, cognitive function, balance, and regulates blood pressure. Often if my joints feel “creaky,” I drink a full glass of good water and twenty minutes later my joints no longer make noise. Most of your joints are actually water, so keep them full of good clean high PH water! Caffeine, alcohol, sodas all de-hydrate the body even more. I don’t make the rules but I do understand it is easier to play by them. One good trick is to drink at least a full glass of room temperature water upon waking (two is better). Try it. You might be surprised that in a week you are feeling better.

Processed foods require the body to work harder to break them down. Eating “clean” meat, vegetables, nuts and fruits is the most effective and easy diet for our body. Sugar, trans fats, breads, gluten, alcohol, nicotine, and preservatives all add to body inflammation. If you did not dig it up or kill it with a stick, it is better to pass it by. Eliminating all processed foods can have a profound effect after a couple months of faithfulness. Simple supplementation can help. You might consider CoQ10, B complex vitamins, and a complete multi-vitamin supplement. Local honey, eaten every day, can be very effective for allergies, immune system and general health. Omegas are also important. If you use Flax oil, make sure it is refrigerated... It is best not to cook with flax seed oil, but adding it to oatmeal in the morning works well. If you use fish oil, try to find a brand that is mercury free. Coconut oil is great, too. Most Americans do not eat enough fiber. It helps with intestinal health, regular bowel movements and a clean colon. It is

generally known that a healthy digestion aides in a healthy immune and blood system Sleep Apnea is another common zapper of energy and increases pain symptoms. Although the common belief is that it only affects overweight people, increasingly, more and more ‘thin’ people are being found to have Sleep Apnea. If your sleeping partner claims to stop breathing or snore loudly it might be worth a trip to your doctor. Often overweight patient’s sleep apnea disappears with weight reduction and diet modification. It is no secret that a good number of Americans are over-weight. In all my travels abroad I’ve never heard “Look at those healthy human beings- they must be Americans.” Simply look at your height and weight compared to what is a healthy weight. The excess is actually additional weight that we carry around - every day. Nobody feels good if they are carrying a 35 pound back pack all day. Adipose tissue adds stress to the joints but also contributes to inflammation. I have often seen chronic pains disappear once twenty pounds are lost. Chinese Medicine is effective in many ways for pain. There are specific herbs for pain, inflammation, spasm and for areas of the body. In other words some herbs direct the others to intended areas of the body, such as, lower back, feet, hands or shoulders. A skilled herbalist can prescribe a good quality product for prevention, or treatment of many pain conditions without the side effects of suppression therapy. Regular acupuncture from a qualified and fully trained acupuncturist can led to better sleep, energy, well being and health. Your body is more like a garden than an automobile. You become what you cultivate. This is a quick article on a big subject, however, I have found that in my own health and my patients a return to a native nonprocessed diet has led to increase in energy, productivity and well being often within a few weeks.

LET’S TALK ABOUT

Love and Politics

ecently I shared a delightful weekend with Marianne Williamson who hosted “SisterGiant.” This amazing gathering of powerful women engaging in the importance of having our voice heard in the political arena gave pause to my understanding of our mission here on Planet Earth. We forget that fewer than one hundred years ago women fought for the right to vote. Issues of poverty, rights over our bodies, access to medical care for all, were but a few of the issues addressed. This beautiful visionary, a spiritual teacher and author of many books, (one of my favorites, “A Woman’s Worth”) challenges us not only to have the audacity to hope that there will be equality for women—opportunity for all our children to have a stellar education—health care for all with no one denied—abolition of incarceration for addictions more appropriately healed by compassionate counseling--:she challenges us to run for political office!! What a concept!! Politics is dirty, we say; it is self-serving, costly, and reserved for the emboldened, tough-as-nails folks who are on power trips and wish to ram their agenda through with no care for the little man/woman. But wait a moment: what if we as women band together to work to change the status quo and have our voices heard. I may speak eloquently to my patients and lecture to throngs of us to take responsibility for our health, but what if I dare take it further by standing for an important issue and legislating it at our local level, moving it forward together. We have been accused of being too emotional, too right-brained and sensitive. Yet right-brained sensitive and intuitive women tend to oppose sending their children to war. We tend to fight for the right of our children whether born into poverty or opulence to share the opportunity to shine wherever their talents lead them. We tend to protect others from bullying and hurting those who are judged as different. What came from this thoughtful weekend is that if it is to be—it is up to me. If I want to see change, I need to be that change and consider running for an office where I can propose a piece of legislation that can have powerful ramifications for how we live amongst each other. We can, after all, expect freedom for all of us despite our beliefs. What stood out powerfully is the play on the word LOVE: Let One Voice Emerge. Marianne Williamson actually proposed a bill that would establish—at cabinet level—a Department of Peace which would stand equally with the Department of War. Again: what a concept! As we learn to work together in this melting pot here in America, it is within reason that we can find common ground among the citizens of Planet Earth to dialogue about non-violent solutions to our differences. We are all connected, and love is the link: our collective health and freedom from judgment and censure rests on the realization that we are all one: Let One Voice Emerge (use the pneumonic LOVE ) Helene B.

SEVEN THOUSAND WAYS TO LISTEN By Mark Nepo

even Thousand Ways to Listen is Mark Nepo’s latest offering. Mark is probably most known for his book entitled, The Book of Awakening, a daily reflection on the sacredness of everyday living. Mark’s writing is always deeply personal and truly authentic. He recognizes that while our individual stories are unique to us, the experiences of those stories are universal in nature. One immediately feels a kinship with Mark since he is able to eloquently express what we are feeling inside. Seven Thousand Ways to Listen, Staying Close to What is Sacred is equally profound as was The Book of Awakening. He tells us how he was having lunch with a friend, a linguist from Nigeria who commented that there are seven thousand living languages known at this time. Mark reflected that if there are seven thousand ways to speak there must also be seven thousand ways to listen. In the Book of Awakening Mark speaks openly about his journey with caner. It was for him a doorway, albeit a confusing and terrifying one at times, into a greater experience of awakening to life all around him. Here, in Seven Thousand Ways to Listen, Mark speaks of the gradual loss of his hearing and how that opened for him a greater understanding of the many nuances of listening. The following except is from the chapter entitled, Entering Silence. Mostly we are caught in a storm of activity. For we live in the world, and are always drawn above and below and in between. Yet when we can stop talking, when we can stop mapping the chatter in our minds,

when we can descend into that wordless current of being, we start to see Oneness. Helpful as this is, it is not enough. When we can summon the courage not to run back to the surface prematurely, we begin to sense and feel Oneness. When we can spend enough time below the noise of the world, even though we have to return, we might even say that, from time to time, we live in the unspoken. Then we might be blessed to experience Oneness. To enter the unspeakable requires a quiet courage that points to what is often out of reach, though it is never far from us. Not unspeakable because it is awful, but because it lives beneath words. Not touching that silence and what lives there isolates us from the web of Spirit that connects everything. Then we lapse into what feels like a broken world of nothing. But entering that silence, the unspeakable shows itself as the thread of light that holds the web of life together. Feeling these threads, I am reanimated in a world where each small part contains everything. The inner nature of things is always emanating and we relax our way in the world to finally receive it. I find that deep listening is such a relaxation by which I enter silence until what I hear enters me. Deep listening holds everything we know open till what can’t be seen or heard is felt and received thoroughly enough to change our minds. Not only does it change the content of our minds, though that is significant by itself, but as water rushing through an inlet changes the shape of the inlet, letting what we hear enter us so completely changes the shape and threshold of our minds. Listening with this degree of openness can alter our experience of

life. When we can relax our way in the world enough to truly receive, waiting is more than waiting and silence is more than silence. 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. David A. Cronin is a spiritual coach, writer, lecturer and owner of Changing Times Books and Gifts, located in the Village Commons Shopping Plaza, 771 Village Blvd, Suite 202, West Palm Beach, FL 33409.

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

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: • • • • • •

post-herpetic neuralgia trigeminal neuralgia post-mastectomy pain diabetic neuropathy cluster headaches psoriasis

• • • • • •

colic asthma arthritis muscle cramps toothaches fever

•

sore throats and upper respiratory infections

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. William H.

GEt Your LifE Back, it’s timE to start LivinG aGain!

Here’s what some of our customers have to say about Dr. Emu’s Rx for Pain:

All-Natural Ingredients Include:

“It totally resolved by back issues and knee pain in one day. I had back surgery twice and one knee replacement. I still had intense pain and my doctor said I would have to live with it. I use it every night and in the morning and I have not had pain in months. Thank you for a lifesaving product.” Darlene Masters “I ... was amazed at how good this is. It has taken away the pain from my hip/leg/ankle and reduced the swelling in my ankles I get every summer. Thank you!” Patty Mullins “I was told about this by my doctor’s office. It truly helped my back and knee pain. It is a little costly but well worth the extra cost over others in discount stores. It works so well, I don’t even need to use it as much now. Thank you for bringing it to us.” Tony S.

Experience All-Natural Pain Relief Like I Did “Through the years, accidents had left me with a crushed heel, seven herniated discs and a torn rotator cuff. I was spending $4,500 a month on medication prescriptions including for pain and became addicted to oxycontin. Finally, I decided not to allow drugs to control my life anymore. I became intrigued by an up-and-coming natural aid: Emu Oil. Out of personal necessity to get off drugs, aided by pain management doctors, other medical personnel, herbalists and lengthy research and development, I created the natural topical pain relief product, Dr. Emu’s Rx for Pain. It not only eased my pain within minutes, it also made my life more livable again. Since then, many physical therapists, chiropractors and pain management doctors have testified to its apparent effectiveness with their patients.” Darrell Hart, founder and CEO of Everlasting Health
