newsbriefs Premature Aging and the Heart

y Dad, also a doctor and talented surgeon, was never sick a day in his life. I had the honor of practicing with him for many years. In addition to being a wonderful father, he was also my best friend—the most caring, honest, grounded person I have ever met in my life. In 2000, my Mom called me while I was away on vacation and told me that my Dad was diagnosed with pneumonia. A couple of weeks later, he had a second bout. I flew home. Familiar with his perfect health history, I knew something was dramatically wrong. I drove straight to my parent’s home, and immediately examined him. Shocked with my findings, and at his behest, I brought him to the most prestigious hospital in New York. We raced him through the emergency room for a series of tests. At this point he could hardly walk without gasping for air. It was only six weeks before that we were playing half court basketball as we always did. We met with the most respected cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the world, both friends and colleagues of mine. After 24 hours, the results came back. My Dad was diagnosed with terminal Cardiomyopathy. We were told to prepare for the worst. The cardiologist told us his ejection fraction, the analysis of the ‘pumping action’ from the left ventricle of the heart, measured 74 percent necrotic. This was so poor that he estimated that Dad had only three months to live, at best. I said thank you, but inside, I said NO! With the strong belief that my Dad’s time was not yet up, and knowing he had nothing to lose and all to gain, I implemented the disciplines and protocols of what I refer to as “Expansive Medicine”. I did not take him off the medications his mainstream physicians prescribed, nor did I counter any of their instructions. Iexpanded his options. I knew I had to fight against the detrimental side effects of the medications, yet this was no easy feat as my Dad himself was a mainstream doctor with old school philosophy. In applying Expansive Medicine protocols, I discovered a triad: Sleep Apnea; Oral-Nasal Systemic Connection; and Oral Pathology (for more information see DrCraigBrown.com). Utilizing specific formulas to address areas of weakness along with a raw food regime, I supplemented the deficit of vital nutrients and enzymes to restore this cardiac patient to homeostasis. One of the many areas addressed was Coenzyme Q10 (not all brands are created equal; many lack in the quality necessary to achieve life restoring benefits). My protocols created what mainstream medicine would call a ‘miracle’. Within three months, my Dad was taking the staircase faster than I had seen him even before his illness. His quality of life came back. No more gasping for air. No more constant drowsiness. No more forgetfulness. He was getting properly oxygenated and fortified by Expansive Medicine protocols—cleansing, detoxing and rebuilding. He was becoming younger, healthier and more vital. He was getting a second chance. He got his life

Palm Beach Edition

back when mainstream said...impossible! He lived, laughed, loved, and prospered with my Mom until 2007 (seven years after diagnosis rather than three months). However, I was puzzled. I felt certain he could have thrived even longer, providing he was being compliant. I found out (on my Dad’s deathbed) that his cardiologist frightened him into dismissing my life sustaining protocols. Compliance is the most difficult yet most necessary piece of a winning puzzle when it comes to natural Expansive Medicine. Patients, no matter who, sometimes look for any reason they can find to get ‘lazy’. This lack of compliance or laziness is the downfall of the prevention and potential reversal of all disease. My Dad’s cholesterol was around 200 before he started taking the prescribed statin drug. This number, and even higher numbers, are easily reduced most of the time by Expansive Medicine protocols along with special raw food diets. I tell people to educate themselves a bit before taking prescription drugs. Is there an equally effective alternative, without all the negative side effects that can create additional unrelated health problems? At the very least, patients should educate themselves about what they are putting into their bodies and the side effects and long-term risks. Why are these side effects and ‘adverse reactions’ happening? What do these side effects really mean? What is really going on in your body for you to have these systemic adverse reactions from a drug? There are many reasons I have discovered. For instance, statins deplete CoQ10, creating Statin Induced Cardiomyopathy. So why would you put a patient who already has Cardiomyopathy on a statin to deplete more of the life-dependent humanly produced CoQ10 enzyme? I am not saying there isn’t a place for pharmaceutical medicine, but always know what you are taking and the ramifications of your actions. Know that there is usually an alternative. Consider leading your life down the path of Expansive Medicine, a preventative measure that saves you from being in a position to have to take the ‘quick fix’, a temporary ‘band aid’ which will only hide the symptoms, possibly causing more serious health problems in the future. Dr. Craig Brown is the founder of Expansive Medicine and a Harvard trained surgeon. His mission is to educate the public on building immunity using protocols for real anti-aging results, disease prevention, and to help combat existing disease.

newsbriefs MacArthur Beach State Park Breaks Two Sea Turtle Nesting Records This Year with Several Weeks to Go!

acArthur Beach State Park is having another record breaking sea turtle nesting season. To date, 1173 Green Sea Turtle nests have been counted, breaking the previous record of 926 nests set in 2007. The total sea turtle nesting season record has been surpassed with 2333 nests, breaking the previous record also set in 2007 of 2142 nests. Loggerhead Sea Turtles with 1133 nests and Leatherbacks with 27 nests contributed to the overall record. Sea turtle nesting runs annually March through October and is a very exciting and busy season at the Park. Every morning during this time the dedicated Park rangers and volunteers survey the beach to track and record the number of turtles that come ashore overnight. This year, in addition to the daily surveys, Park staff organized the inaugural Citizen Science Program; Leatherback Sea Turtle Nest Excavation. Over the past few months, a group of 20 citizen scientist volunteers worked alongside MacArthur Beach State Park staff to excavate eight leatherback nests. Following the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) strict regulations and protocols on egg excavation, the citizen scientists hand dug into the nests until they reached the clutch. Once reached, they sorted the eggs into various groups determining nest productivity and hatchling success. As a result it is estimated that there were 2045 Leatherback eggs laid on MacArthur Beach with 817 hatchlings produced. “Our inaugural Citizen Science Project was a huge success, says Ranger Scott Duncan “mostly because of such passionate and dedicated volunteers! We hope to expand this excavation project in the future and also the Citizen Science Program to include other projects,” he adds. MacArthur Beach State Park will be looking for more scientists for additional projects throughout the year including building a species inventory of the Park’s plants and animals and a bird BioBlitz. If you are interested, check www.macarthurbeach.org/citizen-science for upcoming projects. John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, Palm Beach County’s only state park, is situated on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon. The Park is made up of 438 acres of pristine coastal land and contains four different communities or habitats including seven species of plants and twenty-two species of animals on the endangered or threatened list. MacArthur Beach is truly an “Island in Time.”

Delivered with Love The Power of Sound and Silence

use the power of love, silence and the divine, and the result is the music of Deva Premal and Miten. For more than 20 years, the couple’s impassioned renditions of the sacred mantras of India have inspired an eclectic worldwide following. The pair’s shared journey, converging music and love, began two decades ago in an ashram dedicated to the Indian mystic and guru Osho, then known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Miten was searching for a different way of life with richer meaning after departing the British rock ’n’ roll scene, while the German-born Premal was reconnecting with the great Eastern musical and spiritual disciplines in which she was raised. Premal made a conscious decision early on to pursue two goals in life: “Enjoy every moment and do something meaningful.” In the music she found both, and more. One day, she simply sat down and began harmonizing with Miten while he played the ashram’s meditation music, effortlessly invoking the ancient mantras that had been her childhood lullabies. Miten discovered that Premal’s powerful voice completed his music, and her powerful presence completed him. The same was true for Premal, who sang in part because, “I wanted to find a way to be with him all the time.” Since their first star-crossed encounter in 1990, the duo has recorded some of the top-selling mantra albums in the world; most recently, A Deeper Light. Their personal histories and life together are depicted through words and sound in More Than Music: The Deva Premal & Miten Story, a book and compilation CD. Premal and Miten have sung for the Dalai Lama and to mark the life passing of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, author of the groundbreaking On Death and Dying. Their celebrity fans include Eckhart Tolle, Anthony Robbins and Cher, who performed their version of the Gayatri Mantra during her farewell tour. Miten sees their music’s growing popularity as a sign of people’s hunger for spiritual renewal and purpose. “You don’t need to know what the mantras mean for them to have their effect—it works like medicine in that way,” he says. Audiences at their performances are encouraged to withhold applause and naturally take in the expansive silence that fills the room after a mantra has been played. “It’s the reason we play, to feel that ‘alive’ silence, which is as tangible as the music,” says Miten. “That’s when it’s the most healing.” “Once you tune into that silence, you can hear it anywhere, even in a noisy place,” advises Premal. “It’s always underneath everything; the awareness of it becomes part of your life.” Deva Premal & Miten’s MantraFest tour across North America this fall features the legendary GuruGanesha Band and Nepalese musician Manose.

newsbriefs DIVINE OXYGEN... WITH LOVE

e spend most of our lives working once we have left our family’s nest. Working to acquire things like…. lovely homes, nice cars, fine clothes, beautiful art, intellectual friends. We place great Value on all of these things that we collect & do along the way…missing the real key to this life. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill Keys to Being a Person of Value: • Speak with Integrity • Don’t ever think you are better than another person • Use the power of your word in the direction of truth & love • Don’t take anything personally. What others do is a projection of their own reality • Find the courage to ask questions and the courage to leave what isn’t fruitful to your soul • Always do your best, knowing your best will change from moment to moment Key to Personal Freedom: • Lead with your heart • Avoid people that don’t value you • AVOID SELF JUDGMENT especially based on someone else’s opinion Always know that there is no room in the heart for fear or sadness if you stay present and listen to your own inner spirit. Thoughts are powerful when we give them energy but thoughts are mixed in with human error & illusion and ‘thoughts are just thoughts’ Your Heart measures your Value... not a job, not money, not another person, not anything, just your Heart.

his ancient Chinese beauty secret improves the general condition of the skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and firms the jaw line to produce a radiant appearance. Acupuncture needles are inserted superficially in specific points on the face to stimulate circulation and collagen production. Body points are also used to strengthen the integrity of the relationship between the skin and internal environment. True Beauty radiates from within. The skin is our largest organ and reflects the state of our internal health. It is the only organ that we have to take care of from both the inside and the outside. According to Chinese Medicine our physical health, emotional state, and spirit are reflected on the skin, particularly in our complexion and skin of the face. We look your best when our overall physical constitution and emotional state is healthy and balanced.

Many factors contribute to the visible signs of aging. Here in Florida we are constantly exposed to the sun and hot weather which has a two fold affect on our skin, one being harmful rays and the other is the potential for dehydration. Drinking plenty of water and limiting your exposure to stressful situations, poor food choices and smoke will promote a more youthful appearance. Excessive stress, an unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle choices will contribute to premature signs of aging. Cosmetic acupuncture will enhance your appearance and improve general health all while avoiding harsh chemicals and invasive treatments. Johanna Perez, owner of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine With Aloha Care, is a certified practitioner of the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System. She has been in practice since 2005 and boasts that her experience in China solidified her passion for Chinese Medicine.

newsbriefs One Choice, Two Parents... A Summertime Planner

remember when, during the last weeks of 4th grade in May, 1960, as a youngster at Nathan Hale School, I could feel the heat of the summer sun radiating through the old windows from the back of the classroom. I thought only about the end of homework, late morning sleep-in’s and running through the water at the end of a garden hose. Summer vacation was now easily in our reach. I envisioned mom and dad taking my sister, Janet and I to Ocean Beach in New London, like last year! Lake Compounce in Southington! Maybe I was now the ‘right’ height to go alone on the ferris wheel, the teacup, or the whip! Boy, Mom and Dad sure knew how to give you a great time! Mom and Dad. They are gone now. Through their absence, I am now even more conscious of how much they have truly been an important influence in my life. I know what seeing them meant to me every day. What I could expect from them. How they spoke to each other. How they spoke to me. How Mom would yell at me for fighting with my sister. How I yelled at her to leave the bathroom light on so I wouldn’t be sleeping in total darkness. How Dad would come in and see if I had fallen asleep yet. How I would ask for a glass of water to delay sleeping. But also, to test if they loved me. Some forty percent of public school children do not have the same experience, or expectations. Over 1/3 feel abandoned by one parent, ignored by the other, with many brainwashed against the absent, non custodial or absent parent. For others, though, summer vacation means packing up to

move to Dad’s house for six weeks. Or for summer camp for two weeks, Mom’s house for two weeks, and Dad’s house for two weeks. Parents most often live in different towns, perhaps different states, perhaps different regions of this country. These children will continue sharing time between their parents which is court ordered and often specified by a mediated parenting agreement, if not railroaded by an overbearing, aggressive attorney who advocates for the best interests of his client. Yet, there is a roadmap which needs be followed, unless the parents should agree otherwise based on their needs, their social desires, their change in work or school schedule. Unlike most of the year, with cookie cutter visitation arrangements, the summer means even more scheduling, more agendas. Also, more stress for the child and for the parent who has agreed to this co-parenting arrangement. As a child custody specialist, I find many parents and even the courts will look to the parenting agreement as a mechanical roadmap for scheduling child visitations, arranging for the physical child transfer and exchange between the parents. But, in many agreements, the calendars for many are poorly designed, based solely on both parents’ efforts to control their child’s plans rather as a contractual stipulation in time sharing than a child’s necessary downtime to chill from a hectic and draining school year. When a parent lives many miles away from their children, the longer summer visitation will present itself with the added and expensive burden of travel. The stress of reconnecting with this parent, whom they may have spoken to regularly, is still, so different when actually contemplating the living conditions, lifestyle adjustments and other adaptations with the other parent’s home. Summer visits with the other parent can be experienced with accompanying sadness, anger, and emerging hostility for a reexamination of the cause for their parents’ separation and divorce. The child may be subject to jealousy because of the non custodial parent’s new ‘blended’ family or a new, replacement for significant other. For young teens, they haven’t yet been able to actualize their role of son or daughter of their given age. They may want to act older than they are, feel responsible and confident for their maturity, but feel very confused and even scared because of expectations, impositions of new rules, adjustment to new routines and also, a new community. The potential for conflict and confrontation looms large when a child carries mixed up emotions and then, lashes out verbally, or physically. The child may not intellectualize the cause for his or her feelings, particularly the sadness, anger and sometimes, the boiling hostility. Yet, with emotional preparation, this can be minimized and overcome. Mark Roseman, Ph.D. Founding Director, The Toby Center for Family Transitions, Delray Beach 561-244-0010 thetobycenter.org

newsbriefs Stressed about your next dental visit? Get NuCalmed!

uCalm is dramatically changing the dental experience from anxious, uncomfortable, or inconvenient to refreshing and rejuvenating. NuCalm is unique because it creates deep relaxation without controlled substances, causes no side effects, and requires no recuperative time or supervision. By naturally inducing the “relaxation response” in every patient, clinicians can do better, safer, and faster dentistry! How NuCalm Works NuCalm uses four components that work together to bring the body to a deep state of calm. It is administered as soon as you sit in the chair and takes about 3 minutes. You will feel the relaxation effects in 3-5 minutes. 1. First you chew dietary supplements that are designed to relax you by counteracting adrenaline. The proprietary formula

is only available in the NuCalm system and includes structured, nutrient-sourced building blocks that rapidly create a natural relaxation response. 2. Microcurrent stimulation patches are placed behind each ear. Research shows this helps facilitate the relaxation response. 3. Noise-dampening headphones are used to deliver proprietary neuroacoustic software, layered with soothing music, to bring your brain wave pace to the presleep stage (8Hz -12Hz per second). 4. Light-blocking glasses are used to negate visual stimuli and help maintain the NuCalm relaxation state. The combination of these four components provides you with a powerful and effective relaxation experience, especially during dental procedures. The

more stressed or anxious you are, the more profound the NuCalm effect will be. NuCalm Experience Think about how you feel as you lay down to go to sleep. Your mind may race about the day’s events or something that is happening the next day. Slowly, you begin to relax - you can feel gravity pulling you deeper into your bed and pillow, you may have strange mental associations or daydreams, you may experience neuromuscular releases (body parts twitching) where you have built up lactic acid, and you will begin deep breathing. This experience is the Alpha stage of sleep. This is the exact stage you will be in throughout your NuCalm experience. With NuCalm, you will be in the dental chair getting treatment, but you will be so relaxed that you will not be aware of or focused on the dentistry. You will actually feel like you are at a spa or a place of deep relaxation. Imagine that, deep relaxation in the dental chair. NuCalm Effect NuCalm will relax your mind and your body throughout the entire dental procedure. You will be conscious and able to respond to voice commands, but you will physically be unable to have an anxious response and will be unaware of time and space...you will feel like you are in deep meditation or about to go to sleep. Your NuCalm appointment will provide a sense of balance and wellness for hours, and even days, after your appointment. The neuromuscular release will resolve any tension in your head, neck, and upper back which may also last for a couple of days. With NuCalm, you can be diligent about your oral health care and have the benefit of full body rejuvenation. It’s going to seem strange wanting to go to the dentist, but you will get used to it!

newsbriefs Arvigo Mayan Abdominal Massage Now Available In Palm Beach County

rvigo Mayan Massage Helps Promote Fertility, Uterine Health, Prostate health and Overall Wellness Dr. Bella Lauren with Wise Woman Holistic Healthcare is proud to introduce The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ into her practice. Dr. Lauren has just completed her professional training course under the tutelage of renowned healer, herbalist and author Dr. Rosita Arvigo. Dr. Rosita Arvigo developed these techniques after studying for over 30 years with a Maya Shaman of Belize, Don Elijio Panti. Don Elijio believed that a woman’s center is her uterus. “If a woman’s uterus is out of balance, so is she,” he would say. Midwives and healers of Central America agree that most female troubles are caused by the “wandering womb.” The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™(ATMAT) are founded on the ancient Mayan technique of abdominal massage which is an external non invasive manipulation that repositions internal organs that have shifted, thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi. The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage™ address position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the prevention and treatment of benign prostate enlargement in men, and for relief of many common digestive disorders. Dr. Bella became intrigued by Dr. Arvigo’s work because she perceived it to be a wonderful complement to her range of holistic healing modalities that she offers her clients. Dr. Bella says that “Dr. Arvigo’s technique is used to reposition the lower abdominal organs, which when misaligned block vital life energy called chi, blood flow, lymph and nerve function. After as little as one treatment patients have reported reduced back pain, less bladder problems and overall better health with increased fertility and pelvic health.” Did you know that about 10 million women in their childbearing years suffer from pelvic pain, and millions also suffer from infertility? Dr. Bella says “These statistics are astronomical and unessasary. These issues can be addressed and corrected naturally with Mayan Abdominal massage, herbs and acupuncture. This innovative therapeutic modality combined with acupuncture and herbs is incredible. Used together in synchronicity they will help both groups achieve their desired results, less pain and more fertility.” If you’d like more information about this topic, or to schedule an appoint with Dr. Lauren DOM, AP, LM, LMT please contact her at 561-596-0072 or email Dr.BellaLauren@gmail.com

Deva Premal & Miten Bring Sacred Mantras to Santa Cruz

eva Premal & Miten will be in Santa Cruz on October 30 to bring the sacred spirit of India’s ancient mantras to audiences at the Rio Theater. The Santa Cruz concert is one of the last opportunities to catch MantraFest 2013, the duo’s 25-city North American tour, featuring special guests Manose, Maneesh de Moor and The GuruGanesha Band. The couple fell in love playing meditation music together at an Indian ashram and have been sharing their love of that music with eclectic audiences across the globe ever since. For Premal, who was raised in the mystical traditions of the East, the spaces between the sounds are just as important as the music itself. “Music is nourishment, but then you have to give yourself time to take it in so you can reap its benefits,” she observes. Manose, a bamboo flute virtuoso from Nepal, is also featured on the couple’s latest release, A Deeper Light. “If ever we were to doubt that we are supported by the divine, we just have to turn around and look to see who is with us,” says Miten. “Manrose is a gift from God. Just wait until you hear it all.” Location: 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. For tickets, starting at $30, visit BrightStarEvents. net. For more information, call the Rio Theatre at 831-423-8209.

newsbriefs Frequent Sinus and Ear Infections Often a Sign of Gut Problem

any people suffer from frequent sinus infections (or ear infections for children), with symptoms of running nose, postnasal drip, headache or cough. If the mucus discharge turns to yellow or green, antibiotics may have to be used. This process often recurs every couple of months. Common understanding for the cause of this condition is environmental allergies and viral and bacterial infections. However, from my own clinical experience, gut problem is sometimes the root issue for this condition. The mouth, sinus and nose cavities are direct extensions of the digestive tract. A problematic digestive system always causes inflammation in the mucous membranes of sinus, nose and mouth. A common digestive problem, dysbiosis, refers to a condition with microbial imbalances such as yeast overgrowth (Candidiasis) and the decline of the beneficial bacteria. Dysbiosis of the digestive tract often leads to dysbiosis of the sinus and ear cavity and causes inflammation of the mucous membrane, which in turn results in the blockage of the drainage ducts, fluid retention in the sinus and ear cavities, and bacterial infection later on. After using antibiotics to control bacterial infection, a Candida outbreak always follows and results in another sinus infection within a few weeks. It becomes a vicious cycle going on every month. Many people with frequent sinus and ear infections also have symptoms of dysbiosis of the digestive tract, such as food indigestion, bloating, loose stool or constipation. Thus, treating digestive dysbiosis and Candida overgrowth should be the main objective for treating frequent sinus and ear infections. First of all, dietary change is necessary to maintain a healthy gut. The popular American diet contains excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates, including sugary drinks, candy, chocolate, ice cream, cake, cookies, bagels, bread, pizza, pasta, breakfast cereal, pancakes, waffles, chips, etc. Everything containing sugar or converting to sugar quickly inside the body will

overload the system and feed the intestinal yeast population such as Candida, which produces mycotoxins and triggers a series of pathophysiological responses. Research shows that Candida overgrowth leads to cortisol raising, low thyroid function, depression, sugar craving, and a variety of inflammatory reactions. Candida overgrowth also drives away healthy bacteria and further weakens immune function in the gut. Candida-induced inflammation is one of the major causes for frequent sinus and ear infections. Antibiotics often suppress bacterial infection but promote Candida outbreak and lead the body into a vicious cycle of frequent recurring infections. Healthy eating is a MUST to reduce Candida overgrowth. Increasing fiber and protein intake such as fish, meat, chicken, eggs, fruits and vegetables, and reducing refined carbohydrates such as wheat products are highly recommended. Dairy products are not recommended due to the hyper allergenic nature of milk and possible mold contamination in cheese. For those who follow a vegan diet, nuts and beans are the major protein source. Breakfast choices may include rice or organic corn based crackers; gluten free bread with peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter; almond milk or organic soy milk; walnuts and other tree nuts. Protein powders from rice or organic soy can be supplemented. Lunch and dinner options include salad with nuts and fruits, vegetable bean soup, and tofu-based main dish. In Asian culture, tofu is cooked in specific ways that make it taste like meat, chicken or fish. Being creative is the key in a vegan diet. In addition to healthy eating, intestinal cleansing and detoxifying are necessary to stop the vicious cycle of recurring infections. Many natural supplements can be used to cleanse and detox the gut. However, I recommend people with long-term digestive issues seek help from healthcare professionals who have experience dealing with chronic digestive conditions. Many people who have tried to cleanse and detox

themselves experienced detox response afterwards, including headaches, body aches, fatigue and depression. A preparation of the body, including liver support prior to the detox and cleanse program, can usually prevent detox response successfully. Other important factors for frequent sinus and ear infections are allergy and sensitivity, including environmental and chemical sensitivities, food intolerance and allergies. Taking an antihistamine medication may successfully reduce clinical symptoms for a short time, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resolve the root issues for the sensitivity and allergy. There are well developed theories and natural therapies dealing with allergy and sensitivity. The therapies may include allergy desensitization, intestinal cleansing, liver support and detoxification, adrenal support, etc. Treating allergy and sensitivity the right way maintains a healthy balance for the body, and prevents them going deeper and developing into asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and autoimmune disease. Dr. Harry Hong is a licensed acupuncturist specializing in holistic healing for the highly sensitive. He teaches highly sensitive people to listen to their body and take charge of their own health. With his own systematic IBMT protocol that includes Chinese medicine, modern homeopathy, energetic testing and allergy desensitization, Dr. Hong helps highly sensitives gain back their immune strength and get their life back.

newsbriefs How to Harness The Power in Your Words “What if every word you said was a wish to the universe? Would you still say the same things that you did yesterday? Your thoughts and words echo throughout the universe. Make sure to only put out ones that you want back!” – Anonymous

any people who choose healthy lifestyles are familiar with the expression, “You are what you eat!”, i.e., our food creates, for better or worse, the building blocks of our bodies. However, in my four decades of offering and teaching Reflexology and Life Wellness Coaching, I have seen again and again that what comes out of our mouths has as great an impact on what we will become as what we put into them. It is our thoughts, our words, our selftalk and our style of language that either empower us or sabotage us. By consciously choosing to think and speak in ways that support our vision and goals, we create a fertile, positive environment for our minds and bodies to align with our higher selves. Here are some tips I often share with my clients and students to help them re-align their thoughts and words:

(1) Louise Hay is an author, publisher and a leading expert on how self-talk affects our quality of life. In her books, including “Heal Your Body”, and in her life work Louise Hay has documented how specific beliefs and patterns of thought correspond to certain ailments. In my book “Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology” I offer uplifting affirmations to help shift our energy patterns toward wellness. By repeating these short, positive present moment statements out loud, they become part of our natural way of thinking. (2) Anything we utter following the words, “I am…” becomes more pronounced in our lives. People who say, “I am so clumsy!” tend to drop more things. Whereas, people who say, “I am really good at learning new things!” learn with greater ease and retain the information longer. To create a life filled with loving, healthy, abundant experiences, anything we think or speak after “I am…” must be positive and loving. (3) The Law of Attraction always gives us what we ask for. The universe will deliver to you, in precise detail, exactly what you are offering, whether through thoughts, words or actions. So, how do you use the Law of Attraction to empower your life? Focus on what is going right in your life,

what makes you feel great to create more of it! As the Abraham Teachings explain, life is like a buffet with an array of food choices. To live the life you desire, remember that what you put your attention on grows stronger in your experience. Focus on items you like and say, “I’ll have one of those, some of these…” For those things you don’t like, just leave them on the table and pay no attention to them. Once you understand the Law of Attraction and begin practicing positive thinking and speaking, your life will be filled with a vibrance and joy that will delight you! (4) Our true nature is one of love, freedom and joy. What is most important to remember is that although this may appear to be a learning curve for some, it is really just a return to our true nature. At our core, we are pure, loving and free. In our Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology Training Programs we teach our students that Laura Norman Reflexology allows clients to experience their true nature by helping them transition to a state of deep relaxation and surrender. In this state healing can take place, a profound sense of joy is felt, and new, creative ideas bubble to the surface. Over the last forty years, I have seen how learning Reflexology – for yourself or to start a new or second career - is very empowering. Integrating your positive thoughts and words with this profoundly healing modality can be life changing. What is your goal? To heal yourself, your partner, your children? To have a lucrative, rewarding career on your own schedule, while helping others find their inner power? Whatever it is, reflexology will magnify the power of your thoughts, words and actions. 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 in Delray Beach and NYC, and Reflexology Training Programs in Boynton Beach and NYC.

newsbriefs Relationships- There’s Your Trouble!

elationships can be both wonderful and challenging. How is it that with the person we feel we love the most, our deepest issues often surface? It’s in these close relationships that we feel safe enough to allow that which feels unsafe to be seen, to be felt and hopefully to be healed. As with all of our relationships, our intimate loving relationship serves as a mirror. When we break old tendencies of blaming, make wrong and finding fault with our partner, we discover that the source of our joy, as well as suffering, is not contingent upon someone else. When we take responsibility for our own feelings it’s possible to work together as a team. In supporting each other through the issues, we find the safety and support that a real loving relationship can provide. As we establish this, our demands cease. We’re no longer invested in being “right”. The power struggles that lead conflict and disharmony are eliminated. Instead we enter a creative process of problem solving, viewing the seeming obstacles as stepping stones to greater love, passion and intimacy. Developing mindfulness, we observe ourselves, contemplating what’s underneath our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Ques-

tions such as “what’s my motivation, what am I afraid of, where am I projecting, and what runs my reactions” are highly valuable. Such contemplations bring answers with deep insight into the many beliefs and identifications that hold us back. This is past conditioning. Limited and negative prevents us from being all we can be and engaging the fullness of a truly open heart. Until awareness kicks in or is cultivated, we are operating under the influence of past conditioning. We perceive through conditioned filters, projecting our interpretation and story on to the present situation. Often the old story has nothing to do with present reality. Our misnomers, misinterpretations and misunderstandings then become the platform of anger, accusations and hurt. They begin to fuel neurotic fears and the desire to leave. When we understand that our preconceived notions are activated through the filters of our conditioned mind, we’re in a position to “own” our issues. Intern we see we’re responsible for our own feelings. As western psychology teaches, it’s a thought that makes a feeling, and a feeling that makes a behavior.

In other words, if I am feeling angry, it’s because of the thoughts that I’ve told myself in response to something external. In our relationships we point fingers, accusing and exclaiming, “I’m upset because you said that!” or “If you wouldn’t have done that I wouldn’t be angry now”. When we learn to take responsibility for our own feelings not only do we cease to blame others, we stop trying to change them. We regain as sense of personal strength that then allows us to handle the issue without spouting negativity into the space of the relationship. Having said this, it’s good to consider how we show up in our relationships. A relationship (in this case) is how two people interact, how they relate. Knowing we contribute to the experience, we should strive to be a better partner. This involves not only improving ourselves but also improving the quality of our interactions. There may be times when dynamics need to be discussed, boundaries set and requests made. Learning to do this in a kind and loving fashion can be easily mastered. As healthy dynamics are employed, effective communication and genuine understanding can transpire. We develop a larger capacity to love and to be loved. We find that our partner’s needs and preferences become equally important to us. Out of love for each other comes the desire to be cooperative, to be a good friend and to provide a safe space that invites openness, understanding, honesty and intimacy. In a healthy relationship there is acceptance and appreciation of each other, where each can be authentically themselves. When it comes to our relationship troubles, understanding is half the cure. The other half is the antidote of healthy dynamics and the practice of loving kindness. The application of which produces greater love, fun, passion and happiness in all of our relationships and ultimately in our life.

newsbriefs Traditional and Non-Traditional Learning Environments: Global Perspective School

ou spend 9 months feverishly preparing and anxiously awaiting for the arrival of your baby, and from the moment you lay your eyes on your precious infant’s face, you know there is something remarkably amazing about this individual. The months and years that follow are filled with flash cards, baby sign language, yoga, mommy and me classes, library story times, and everything else there is to enrich and nurture your rapidly growing person. Before you know it, your baby is speaking, reciting the alphabet and counting to 100! Where did the time go? Amidst the whirlwind of play dates, juice boxes, and Cheerios and despite your befuddlement, your baby became a school aged child...and a gifted one at that! The fruits of all your stimulating and enriching labors have yielded a child that rapidly absorbs and learns new information. Now you have a whole new set of challenges. What does it mean? What do you do? And which learning environment is best to continue to develop and CHALLENGE your gifted child’s mind? These are just a few of the questions parents of gifted children have as they

struggle to do what they feel is best for their child. Many parents look to schools for help, but quickly discover that there is no set standard for this unique population of students. Schools that believe in advancing the gifted child will place the child accordingly in higher leveled classes often with older non-gifted students. Their idea of a “gifted curriculum” amounts to more work, more memorizations, more tests, and not enough opportunities for the gifted mind to create. Other learning environments believe in stimulating the gifted child. A stimulating environment provides many opportunities for the child to struggle with new ideas

and concepts as he/she explores various options, perceptions, and possibilities to understand them. In this type of environment the curriculum isn’t applied through a “trickle down” process from the teacher’s textbook; it’s an exploratory approach to learning rooted in complex higher order thinking and fueled by the child’s curiosity. The question you have to ask yourself is do I want my child to be advanced, stimulated, or both? Public school gifted programs are great for advancement, but non-traditional learning environments like Global Prospective School will give you both! The unique blend of small group learning, customized curriculums, and project based learning both advance and stimulate your gifted child. Our unique space offers students wide open floor plans, writing spaces on tables, windows, and walls, collaborative and independent working spaces, and learning is tracked and made visible throughout the school. Our projects have been duplicated at HATS, Duke University, and other gifted enrichment programs. There is no need to drive out of state to find an environment that will both advance and stimulate your gifted child...the answer to all your questions is right here in your own backyard.

newsbriefs Why Kundalini Yoga? What can it give you?

his is the Yoga of Awareness, in my experience the most dynamic, powerful, and explicitly spiritual yoga system. It opens the spine, strengthens the nervous system and balances the glandular system. Physically, you get energy and vitality. Mentally, you live with mindfulness, clarity and focus. Spiritually, you access intuition and connection to self, and so end up happier, more confident and joyful. Kundalini Yoga differs from other yoga systems, as it is very active, involving movement with intense breathing patterns to create rhythmic exercises/poses. These work on the spinal column, one of the foundations of physical health. The practice opens the body, increasing circulation and energy (prana). The increased spine and body flexibility develop a strong, youthful body. Also, Kundalini Yoga includes more meditation, chanting and relaxation then most yoga classes. These help the glandular system - decreasing stress-induced toxins (like adrenaline and cortisol), improving immunity and metabolism - thus healing on a cellular level. Kundalini Yoga is about your experience, your path and destiny, to find your own way to health and happiness. It gives access to the gifts of peace and shuniya (the stillpoint in your heart), connecting you to wahe guru (the indescribable wisdom) of this divine moment. How does it do that? Kundalini Yoga works on all eight limbs of yoga at once. It is a complete philosophical science combining movement, posture (asana), breathwork (pranayama), beautiful chanting (mantra) and uplifting meditation into powerful kriyas (sequenced exercise sets), that touch all limbs and target specific benefits. The practice is an incredible experience in awakening and raising your consciousness. You calmly harness mental and emotional energy to communicate clearly with a strong, graceful presence. Stamina and character emerge. You get fullness of heart and access to the infinite creative energy, revealing your full potential and natural radiance. Yogi Bhajan came to the US from India in 1969 to teach this powerful yoga to householders (regular people with jobs, children, etc). His aim was to create teachers, not a student following. He was a spiritual visionary, who foresaw the negative stress that people must manage in today’s modern world. Therefore, he never initiated students- he said people must initiate themselves. Trained teachers traveled and lived around the world to offer many people the experience of Kundalini Yoga…Now thousands all over practice (www.3ho.org). The only way to understand this yoga is to come experience for yourself.

newsbriefs LIVING YOGA: THE ART OF LIVING WELL.

eing a mother of three children I am familiar with the scene where the child cries at their incapacity to execute a task well - play a song, do a math problem, ride a bike. And as a good parent I offer the classic encouragement – “practice – getting good at something takes practice.” As a long time yoga student and now teacher, I find myself repeating this same mantra – PRACTICE! I return to my mat on a daily basis to do so. Not to perfect the art of asana (or beautiful yoga postures), but rather, to practice the art of living my life well and to cultivate feelings of happiness and contentment. From day to day, different symptoms of a busy life show up in me, from lower back pain to stress to anxiety or anger. I can generally be sure that a good dose of me taking time to move my body, breathe and sit in meditation will bring me to a state of at least remembering how I want to live my life. When we remember our best (healthiest, most vital and most aspirational self) then we are more likely to act from that place. Essentially, the practice acts as a reset button for the rest of my day. I know I will more than likely need to reset

the button again the next day. Another way I like to think of it is like making deposits in the bank of me. If I take the time to deposit in to my own wellbeing and balance, when I need to make a draw, then there is a wealth against which to draw. The point is to practice. Another way to think about it is to compare it to other self care rituals you have established like brushing or flossing your teeth. We wouldn’t think about not taking care of our teeth, so why think about not taking care of the body and mind? Establishing a centering practice that cares for and maintains your whole body and all its layers just makes sense. Practical Guideline for living a life supported by practice. 1. Make a list of symptoms that are showing up for you. For example: physical pain, stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, stiffness, lethargy, tiredness, overweight, feeling stuck and so on. Ask yourself, would you like to alleviate these symptoms? If you said yes, then move to step 2. 2. Find a studio or teacher to practice with. If you are a beginner check out different teachers and find one that you feel compatible with. If you have very specific symptoms, let the teacher know and possibly have a private session to get more information. If you have been practicing for a while, ask yourself how is practice supporting you and are their areas that you need more help with. Find the teachers to support you in your growth. 3. Remember. It’s all about the journey, not the destination. It’s about practicing regularly to replenish and maintain - to essentially make the quality of your life better in other areas (like relationships, health and how you treat yourself). Ask yourself, how much time can you commit to your own feeling of well being? 4. Check your ego at the door of the studio. The practice is about being kind to yourself and remembering your light and worth, rather than diminishing it. It is about revealing who we are and have been all along as we begin to work through the symptoms that mask us. 5. Begin again. And again. And again. In times when practice falls by the wayside, notice if you feel different. Remember the benefits and begin again. Sara Eavenson is a mother, yoga teacher and life coach. She is the co-owner of Shri Life Yoga Studio in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where she co-teaches group classes and private sessions. She also co-teaches a 6 week Art of Living Yoga series to assist students in deepening their own practice as a foundation for living well.

newsbriefs LOCAL DOCTOR OF ACUPUNCTURE STUDIES INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE IN CHINA & JAPAN

ameron Bishop DAOM, L.Ac. Doctoral graduate of American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was recently invited to study with top Japanese Acupuncture Masters in Japan many of whom were blind. Dr. Bishop additionally studied integrative Oriental Medicine in Chinese Hospitals. Although Dr. Bishop has been in practice for seventeen years, Cameron decided to go back to become the first Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Palm Beach County. It was as part of this accredited Integrative Medicine degree that he chose to spend time studying pain management and fertility techniques internationally: Not only working in Japanese Clinics, and two Chinese Hospitals in Shanghai, but also in two US hospitals: including San Francisco and New York. What is so exciting is that with the increased importance of electronic media, the face of medicine in changing. Now as never before, there is a new blend, and integration of eastern and western medicine that is now trickling down to Accredited Medical Schools, both here, and abroad.

For example, Dr. Bishop has been invited by the St. Thomas Medical School on Grenada this fall to teach their Medical Students integrative medicine. He will be giving lectures on both Japanese Acupuncture, Qigong and Chinese Medicine. While in Japan Cameron worked with directly with many blind Japanese Masters

learning and mastering a unique needling, moxibustion and other body work skills. It was truly a rare opportunity to work in the clinics of these revered teachers who specialized in the treatment of fertility, back pain and abdominal issues. One clinic, which he observed, was that of Mr. K. Nakada who wrote a landmark paper on the treatment of Infertility. Dr. Bishop had the honor to help translate this paper for publication for Acupuncturists. Broadening his scope, while in China for a couple months, Cameron observed and practiced in two hospitals that employed over a dozen different Chinese doctors. China is now heading the world with the integration of the medicines to make a win-win for the patient, physician and economy. The end goal is effective affordable health care with fewer complications. Although we are a long way away from this in the US there is hope for a more effective medical system.

Jog or Walk to Live Longer

slow jog around the block a few times a week can prolong life. The Copenhagen City Heart Study monitored 1,878 joggers for 30 years and found that 44 percent of these subjects are less likely to prematurely die from any cause than non-runners. Males and females that continued to jog regularly added 6.2 years and 5.6 years, respectively, to their average lifespans. It only takes 1.5 hours of slow-to-average-pace jogging a week to reap the longevity benefits. Walking is also beneficial; the National Institutes of Health says it can add up to 4.5 years to the average life expectancy. Seventy-five minutes of brisk walking a week can add 1.8 years to life expectancy after age 40, according to study results cited in PLOS Medicine.

School Lunches Minus the Meat

s the first school in the nation to go completely meatless, 400 students at New York City’s P.S. 244, the Active Learning Elementary School, are treated to eclectic fare that includes black bean and cheese quesadillas, falafels, and tofu in an Asian sesame sauce. “We’ve had a really great response from the kids, but they also understand it’s about healthy options,” says Principal Bob Groff. “Because we teach them to make healthy choices, they understand what is happening and believe in what we’re doing, too.” When the school opened in 2008, the cafeteria served vegetarian meals three days a week. “We started to try out recipes with small groups of students to see what they liked and didn’t like. It was a hit,” says Groff. All meals adhere to U.S. Department of Agriculture standards, so students get plenty of nutrient- and protein-dense vegetables. Students are also welcome to pack their own lunches, including meat.

Yoga Relieves Back Pain

ould a simple yoga class ease chronic back pain? Yes, say researchers in two recent studies. Scientists at the University of Washington found that subjects reported a 61 percent decrease in back pain when practicing yoga in a 12-week period compared with doing simple stretching. The researchers attributed their findings, published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, to yoga’s physical and breathing exercises and how they increase awareness and relaxation. Another project, funded by Arthritis Research UK, showed that Britons with long-term back pain that took a 12-week yoga course reported 75 percent fewer sick days.

Weightlifting Lowers Heart Disease and Diabetes Risks

ewer than 10 percent of Americans regularly lift weights, but perhaps more of us should, according to a study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Scientists at the University of North Florida, in Jacksonville, found that weightlifters had a 37 percent reduced risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors linked to heart disease and diabetes. Previous research has linked having greater muscle strength and mass (results of weightlifting) to lower rates of metabolic syndrome. People with three out of five risk factors—a large waist (more than 40 inches for men, more than 35 inches for women), high triglycerides and low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar—may be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The researchers also analyzed data from the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which showed that young men were most likely to do regular weightlifting, while women, older people and Latinos were least likely. The survey statistics support the conclusion that non-weightlifters are more likely to exhibit metabolic syndrome.

Hair to Dye For

“The Messenger of the Light”

hree-quarters of American women are interested in changing their hair color, particularly to cover gray, according to a Clairol study. But other studies show they should be wary of most traditional hair dyes and consider natural alternatives. A study from the University of Southern California published in the International Journal of Cancer, for example, identified women using permanent hair dyes at least once a month to be at the highest risk for bladder cancer. As early as 2007, the European Union banned 22 potentially dangerous chemicals in cosmetic and body care products, including hair dyes. In the journal Materials last year, British researchers warned of the increased cancer risk from toxic chemicals called secondary amines, found in European- and U.S.-manufactured permanent hair dyes, because they remain on the hair for extended periods long after application and can penetrate skin. Meanwhile, increasing demand by consumers for safer products has expanded the market for natural hair dyes containing henna, oils and extracts from berries and other fruits, plus vegetables. Many are now available at pharmacies, organic salons and online, including do-it-yourself recipes.

kipping breakfast or eating sugary breakfast breads and cereals sets us up for increased appetite all day long, while protein-rich food effectively satiates us, according to a recent University of Missouri-Columbia study. Subjects were 20 overweight young women, ages 18 to 20, divided into three groups: those that skipped breakfast, ate cereal, or enjoyed a 350-calorie, high-protein breakfast of eggs and lean meat. Researchers tracking brain function concluded that those eating the high-protein breakfast were better able to control their eating throughout the day and evening. For people that don’t currently eat breakfast, lead researcher Heather Leidy, Ph.D., an assistant professor of nutrition and exercise physiology, says it only takes about three days to acclimate the body. Leidy suggests first trying plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or egg or meat burritos. Aim for 35 grams of protein in the morning for all-day control of food cravings.

The Humble Apple May Ace Cancer

pples are among the world’s most healing superfoods, thanks to their abundant fiber and heart-healthy nutrient properties. New research shows that an apple a day may also help keep cancer away. Two major independent cancer research projects, from Poland and Uruguay, confirm that daily apple consumption can cut the risk of colorectal cancer in half, a unique value among all fruits or vegetables. Other studies documented at GreenMedInfo.com suggest that apples contain components geared to help stop the growth of liver, breast, esophageal, stomach and multi-drug-resistant cancers. Additional research further associates the fruit with relieving diarrhea in children, soothing bowel inflammation in adults, preventing flu, facilitating weight loss, protecting against gum disease, maintaining brain cells and even slowing the aging process.

healthbriefs MILK LINKED TO ACNE

eens with acne might consider cutting back on milk and other dairy products. Foods with a high-glycemic index (carbohydrates affecting blood sugar levels) are the leading causes of acne at all ages, according to a meta-review of studies and clinical trials published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Now, researchers at New York University say milk’s natural hormones may additionally stimulate the acne-producing hormones present at puberty. “Milk is designed to grow things—namely babies—and in the case of cows’ milk, calves,” comments Dr. Mark Hyman, author of The Blood Sugar Solution. “It’s naturally full of muscle-building anabolic hormones… which [also] cause bad acne.” Hyman considers cows’ milk “nature’s perfect food only if you are a calf,” and warns of “60-some hormones in the average glass of milk; even organic, raw and bovine growth-hormone-free milk.”

Antibacterials May Make Kids Allergy-Prone

dults’ obsession with antibacterial soaps, toothpastes and other personal care products may be making our children more prone to many allergies, according to research from the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, in Baltimore, Maryland. While not the direct cause, researchers say such products may impair the development of children’s immune systems. In a study of 860 children between the ages of 6 and 18, researchers found elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in children from households where these products were used. IgEs increase when exposed to allergy-causing substances like pollen, pet dander and certain foods. Urine levels of triclosan, an antibacterial agent used in soaps, mouthwash and toothpaste, provided the strongest link to increased IgE levels and increased allergy risk. Parabens, preservatives with antimicrobial properties commonly found in shampoos, conditioners, lotions and body washes, were strongly associated with allergies to pollen and pet dander. These results confirm the “hygiene hypothesis” that society’s focus on cleanliness has actually prevented children from getting dirty and developing strong immune systems that are regularly challenged and strengthened by pathogens, say researchers.

globalbriefs Shellfish Solution

Bivalve Farming May Purify Fouled Waters Scientists are investigating whether mussels can be grown in urban areas as a way of cleansing coastal waters of sewage, fertilizers and other pollutants. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has placed an experimental raft at the mouth of New York City’s Bronx River with long tendrils seeded with geukensia demissa hanging beneath it. The two-year experiment will test whether the ribbed mussel can survive in the industrial and organic effluent found there. If it does, that could have implications for cleaning up coastal waters all over the world. The idea of using bivalves like mussels, oysters and clams to purify waterways has been on the minds of conservationists and scientists for decades. If the creatures can absorb enough nitrogen from the polluted water, it will prevent algae blooms that deprive waterways of the oxygen needed to support life. Other researchers also are investigating the beneficial effects of raising seaweed and kelp in conjunction with bivalves to clean coastal waters. Source: E360.yale.edu

Scrub Up

Cleaning the Environment a Step at a Time Unilever, one of the world’s largest consumer product companies, which makes Vaseline and Dove soaps, is doing away with a longtime manufacturing process because scientists and environmental groups are concerned that it contributes to polluting oceans. The company has decided to phase out the use of plastic micro-beads as a scrubbing agent in all personal care products by 2015. Small pieces of plastic material under five millimeters in diameter, referred to as micro-plastics, originate from a variety of different sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic materials in the water, the shedding of synthetic fibers from textiles during domestic clothes washing, and the micro-beads used for their abrasive properties in a range of consumer and industrial products.

Fair Trade Comes to Retail Clothing

Fare Sharing

Three Is the Perfect Number With increasing traffic congestion and escalating gas prices, carpooling has become a way of life in America’s biggest cities. Now new high-tech innovations such as ridesharing apps that make the process more efficient have given rise to a new class of riders know as “slugs”. The term was originally coined by bus drivers trying to distinguish between commuters awaiting carpool drivers and people standing in line for the bus, just as they used to stay vigilant for fake bus tokens known as slugs. In many urban centers with specific lanes dedicated to cars with three occupants (HOV-3), having clearly marked entry and exit points benefits everyone—drivers move faster and save gas; riders get to work; and the environment gets a break. The magic number is three—something about having just two occupants doesn’t seem as safe to many people, although the concept is the same. If the worst happens and no drivers show up, there’s always the bus. Source: Grist.com

The revolution that started in food is expanding to clothing: origins matter. With fair trade coffee and organic fruit now standard on grocery shelves, consumers concerned with industry working conditions, environmental issues and outsourcing are now demanding similar accountability for their T-shirts. As a result, some retailers have started supplying information about how and where their products are made. “There’s real demand for sweat-free products,” observes Ian Robinson, Ph.D., a lecturer and research scientist at the University of Michigan who studies labor issues. “Consumers don’t have the information they need, and they do care.” The New York Times reported that a recent factory collapse in Bangladesh might play a part in changing that.

Freebie Fruit

Online Mapping Points the Way Falling Fruit (FallingFruit.org), created by Caleb Philips, cofounder of Boulder Food Rescue, and Ethan Welty, a photographer and geographer based in Boulder, Colorado, uses a map to cite locations of fruits and vegetables that are free to forage around the world. It looks like a Google map, with reported locations marked with dots. Zoom in and click on one to find a description of what tree or bush is there. The description often includes information about the best season to pluck plant fruits, the quality and yield, a link to the species’ profile on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s website and additional advice on accessing the spot. Welty compiled most of the half-million or so locations from various municipal databases, local foraging organizations and urban gardening groups. Additionally, the map is open for Wikipedia-style public editing. He says, “Falling Fruit pinpoints all sorts of tasty trees in public parks, lining city streets and even hanging over fences from the UK to New Zealand.” It also lists beehives, public water wells and even dumpsters with excess food waste.

Killing Fields

Neonicotinoid Pesticides Threaten Birds and Insects, Too Controversial neonicotinoid pesticides linked to catastrophic honeybee declines in North America and Europe may also kill other creatures, posing ecological threats even graver than feared, according to a new report by the American Bird Conservancy. It claims that dangers to birds and stream-dwelling and soil-dwelling insects accidentally exposed to the chemicals have been underestimated by regulators and downplayed by industry. “The environmental persistence of the neonicotinoids, their propensity for runoff and for groundwater infiltration and their cumulative and largely irreversible mode of action in invertebrates raise environmental concerns that go well beyond bees,” according to the report co-authors, pesticide policy expert Cynthia Palmer and pesticide toxicologist Pierre Mineau, Ph.D., who both work for the nonprofit. They note that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency typically sets guidelines for bird exposures using laboratory tests on just two species, which ignores widely varying sensitivities among hundreds of other species. Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society, an invertebrate conservation group, says that integrated pest management (IPM), which combines precisely targeted chemical use with other, non-chemical means of pest control, can deliver industrialscale yields in an environmentally sustainable way. To the detriment of wildlife, “[Our nation] has moved away from IPM, from scouting a farm, putting in habitat for beneficial insects and spraying only if there’s damage,” he warns. “With neonicotinoids, they don’t do that anymore,” instead returning to indiscriminate blanket spraying.

spiritual,” observes Pierrat, the founder of Soul Sweat, a highly choreographed, spiritually charged dance workout. Twenty years after the yoga craze introduced Westerners to the possibility that the two seemingly incongruous goals could be intertwined, the spirituality-fitness link has spread well beyond the yoga mat. It has spawned fusions ranging from Body Gospel, a Christian workout tape, and Jewish Yoga classes to triathlon programs rooted in Native American teachings and Buddhism-based running meditation workshops. In addition, creative instructors have been fusing body/mind/spirit classics like yoga and Pilates with hard-core cardio disciplines like spinning and boxing. Half of all U.S. fitness clubs now offer mind/body programming, according to the IDEA Health & Fitness Association, and the portion of classes dedicated to “mind/spirit” versus just “body” is on the rise. “The newer programming is balanced 50-50, rather than the 80-20 body-mind split of the past,” estimates Sandy Todd Webster, editor in chief of IDEA’s publications. At a time when, according to the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, the number of people that identify with “no organized religion” continues to grow (topping one-fifth of Americans and one-third of U.S. adults under 30), more people than ever are exploring exercise as a path to both flatter abs and deeper self-discovery. “We have spent so long focusing on the mind and the brain… but that is not the whole story,” says Pierrat. “The somatic, or physical, expression of spirituality is the future.”

In the Zone

The notion that intense dancing or a long run could spark what feels like a spiritual awakening makes sense to Philadelphiabased research neuroscientist and physician Andrew Newberg, author of How God Changes Your Brain. A pioneer in the field of integrative “neurotheology”, he has for years used brain imaging technologies to study the impact religious or spiritual practices like deep meditation, intense prayer and speaking in tongues have on the brain. Exercise, he says, provides many of the same effects.

“God has created us with a body. Why aren’t we praying with our body?” ~ Marcus Freed In addition to prompting a surge of feel-good endorphins, a highly strenuous workout is one of the few activities that can lead to simultaneous activation of both sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (calming) nervous system reactions. “Normally, when one of these is active, the other one shuts down, but when people drive one or the other to a very heightened level of activity, there is some evidence that the other turns on too,” explains Newberg. That intense dual firing can paradoxically lead to an interruption in sensory information traveling to areas of the brain that control our sense of ourselves at any moment. “Not only do you have this great feeling of energy and calmness, but you tend to lose your sense of space and time,” he notes. Newberg’s own research also suggests that when people “surrender” themselves in a spiritual practice, the frontal lobe (the practical part of the brain that keeps our thoughts in check) quiets. He speculates that something similar may happen in the midst of, say, a marathon or intense dance, enabling out of the ordinary thoughts and feelings to surface. “It can allow for creativity—a blending of different, more intuitive ideas in ways you don’t normally mix things,” comments Newberg. So, is exercise able to only make us feel like we’re having a mystical experience, or is it somehow actually opening a channel to the divine? Newberg declines to go there, commenting that a brain scan tells what’s going on in the brain, not in the soul. Yet he has no doubt the two are inextricably linked. He says, “There are many well-known examples of intense experiences, like Sufi dancing, generating spiritual experiences for people.”

binical seminary in Israel. Still, he felt that something was missing in his spiritual life. “I thought, ‘God has created us with a body. Why aren’t we praying with our body?’” Freed says that Biblical text often references the body: King David, in the Book of Psalms, says, “Let all my bones praise the creator.” The Jewish Talmud refers to a rabbi that “stretched his spine with a prayer of gratitude.” Yet, Freed observes, the physical elements of daily spiritual practice have been largely forgotten over the centuries. When he discovered yoga, it filled a gap for him. “I found a way to draw upon this incredible spiritual literature but ground it in the body, so that experience is not just in the head, but also in the heart.” Thus, Freed founded Bibliyoga, which launches each class with a Hebrew or Kabbalistic teaching, followed by poses that incorporate its themes, as reflected in his book, The Kosher Sutras: The Jewish Way in Yoga and Meditation. The practice, now taught in cities around the United States and Europe, has prompted the birth of similarly religioninfused classes, including Christ Yoga,

and the Jewish Yoga Network. “A lot of people separate things, saying they’ll get their spirituality from one place and their exercise from somewhere else,” says Freed. “I think they are missing out.”

Mindful Sports

The spirituality-exercise link likewise resonates through other traditionally solo pursuits such as triathlon activities and running, in which many athletes say a more mindful approach to training has infused their sport with more meaning, and in some cases, improved their performances. Ironman Marty Kibiloski, formerly a competitive marathoner and road racer, led what he terms a “high achievement, low contentment” life for years, measuring his self-worth by timed results that never quite satisfied him. In 2006, he attended a Running with the Mind of Meditation three-day workshop, based on Rinpoche Sakyong Mipham’s book of the same name. The retreat combined with his newfound interest in Buddhism, completely redefined running for him. Kibiloski prefers to steer clear of the word “spiritual” (which he sees as somewhat ambiguous) when describing what he now experiences when running. Instead, he frames it as a vehicle for selfdiscovery, a mobile meditation that provides the intense focus and freedom from distraction that enables him to “awaken

to how things really are.” He now leads the retreat that proved pivotal for him, drawing more than 100 runners each Labor Day weekend to the Shambhala Mountain Center, in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Participants learn to focus on the cadence of their footfalls, their breathing and their surroundings to, as he puts it, “move meditation beyond the cushion.” He remarks, “It trains you to have your mind be still when your body is active, which is how you are in everyday life.” Triathlete Mark Allen credits his work with Brant Secunda, a shaman and teacher in the Huichol Indian tradition of Mexico, for enabling him to overcome negative self-talk and physical stresses and go on to win the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, six times in the late 1980s and early 90s. He notes, “In

every one of my physical workouts, I also focused on training the spiritual aspect, so that when I got that chatter in my head, saying, ‘This is too hard’ or ‘I want to quit,’ I could go to a quiet place, rather than a negative one.” Based on their book, Fit Soul, Fit Body: Nine Keys to a Healthier, Happier You, the pair conduct workshops around the country on how to strengthen both soul and body by intertwining both. “Some people think you are only spiritual when you are praying, but when you are moving your body, that is an intensely spiritual experience, too,” says Allen. “It’s my way of saying, ‘Thank you for letting me be alive.’” Lisa Marshall is a freelance health writer near Boulder, CO.

UNIVERSAL FITNESS TIPS Mindful Practices Enhance Any Routine by Casey McAnn When it comes to attaining fitness, several well-regarded recommendations increase the likelihood of success. Natural Awakenings canvassed online fitness sources for tips and techniques intended to keep workouts safe, fun and satisfying. Our favorites follow. Always stretch – Light stretching before and after workouts loosens muscles and increases circulation for quicker repair and healing. It can also help prevent injuries. It’s ideal to hold stretches for at least 30 seconds, breathing “into” the muscles that are being stretched and inviting a gentle release of tension on the exhalation. If any pain surfaces while stretching a certain area, stop. Start slowly – Begin and build workout routines slowly in order to avoid straining muscles and ligaments. Exercise at least twice a week, the bare minimum for staying physically fit. Be well rounded – Add leg and back exercises to crunches and bicep curls, and vary cardio routines to stay enthusiastic about workouts. Experiment with all the equipment available at a studio or gym, asking a trainer for guidance. Drink plenty of water – Drinking water helps to decrease appetite and eliminate cravings, while nourishing and hydrating the body. The goal is to drink half of one’s body weight number in ounces each day.

Keep it regular – Making exercise a regularly scheduled part of the week eliminates excuses. Keep it on the calendar and show up as dutifully as for any other important appointment. Make up any days missed. Increase intensity – More intense workouts mean less time spent doing them while achieving the same level of benefits. It’s also important to keep endurance exercises in any routine, however, because they are vital for cardiovascular benefits and building stamina. Use weights – Adding muscle to the body increases strength, life expectancy and fat burning. To tone muscles, use a weight that works for eight to 12 lifts. For bulk, use a weight suited to four to six lifts. Practice a weight training routine two to three times a week, keeping sessions under 45 minutes. Add interval training – Sprinting for about 50 yards boosts metabolism and heart health. Return to the starting point by taking a slow walk. Repeat as many times as possible, making sure to warm up before the interval training and cool down afterwards. Dress up – Energize a workout session and boost confidence by wearing something snazzy. Donning an exercise “uniform” gets us in the mood, and a new piece of clothing or footwear can make us excited to get moving again.

Be a safe runner – Every six weeks, cut running mileage and frequency in half for a week. This allows the body to recover from workouts and helps to prevent injury. Make it meaningful – While walking or running, recite prayers or a gratitude list, or listen to inspirational podcasts and downloads. Volunteer for fitness – Many volunteer tasks involve some form of physical movement. It feels good to burn calories while helping others. Bring workout buddies – Friends and pets need exercise, too, and they provide restorative companionship. Working out with a pal adds support and motivation, which are keys to success. Seek out a human buddy with similar fitness goals. Go green – Research from the University of Essex, in England, shows that exercising in nature produces additional physical and mental benefits. The researchers found that “green exercise” improves mood, self-esteem, enjoyment and motivation. Casey McAnn is a freelance writer in Boston, MA.

DEEP-HEALING YOGA Release Trauma, Build Resilience by Sarah Todd

hen a woman separated from her husband last fall, she tried hard to shut down her emotions. A 30-year-old working mother of two young boys, she felt she couldn’t afford to be sad or angry, even as she contemplated divorce. But something shifted when she began taking yoga classes in her town in northern Michigan. “It was my one place to relax and let go,” says Emily, who asked that her real name stay private. “I used to go to class, get into a deep stretch and cry. It was like my muscles were connected with my heart. My instructor would warn us that certain poses would provide emotional releases, and sure enough, the tears would fall.” People suffering disruptive changes —from losing a loved one to coping with unemployment or striving for sobriety—often find yoga to be a healing force. Lola Remy, of yogaHOPE, a Boston and Seattle nonprofit that helps women navigate challenging transitions, attests that yoga makes them feel safe enough in their bodies to process difficult emotions. “The goal isn’t to make stressors go away, it’s to learn resilience,” Remy explains. “Irreparable harm isn’t necessarily the only result of experiencing stress. Even if I’m in a challenging position— like wobbling in the tree pose—I can see

that I’m still okay.” The object is to teach women that their bodies are strong and capable, giving them more confidence in their ability to weather obstacles off the mat.

Supporting Science

Research suggests that yoga can also be an effective therapy for people affected by some forms of severe traumatic stress. A study in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences that scanned the brains of trauma survivors after a reminder of the traumatic event revealed decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that helps make sense of raw emotions and bodily experiences. While shutting down the connection between body and mind can help in coping with dangerous experiences, it also makes recovery difficult. “You need to have a high-functioning prefrontal cortex to organize the thoughts that come up and know that you’re safe in the present moment,” advises David Emerson, director of yoga services at the Trauma Center, in Brookline, Massachusetts. “Otherwise, you’re assaulted by memory sensory information.” Yoga appears to rewire the brains of trauma survivors to stop reliving past

distress. “You can’t talk your prefrontal cortex into functioning well again,” Emerson observes. “But you may be able to do it with your body.” The study found that eight female patients that participated in traumasensitive yoga saw significant decreases in the frequency and severity of their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. In a study at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, military veterans enrolled in a 10-week yoga course also showed improvement in PTSD symptoms. A paper presented at a recent International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies conference studied 64 people that had experienced childhood abuse and neglect; those that participated in a trauma-sensitive yoga course had a 33 percent reduction in PTSD symptoms. Two months later, more than 50 percent in the yoga group experienced greater freedom and were no longer diagnosed as suffering from PTSD, compared to the control group’s 21 percent. Yoga can also transform traumatized lives in other ways. “For many traumatized people, being touched intimately can be a trigger,” Emerson remarks. “Yoga may let them feel ready for physical intimacy again. Others have mentioned victories such as being able to go to the grocery store and knowing exactly what foods their bodies crave.” Emerson notes that such programs emphasize choice and individual empowerment. “The beauty of yoga is that you reclaim your body as your own.”

Spreading the Word

Once largely concentrated on the East Coast, trauma-sensitive yoga programs are spreading. Jennifer Johnston, a research clinician and yoga instructor at Boston’s Mind Body Institute, sees programs like these enriching our culture’s understanding of the physical and mental health connection. “In a country where drugs and surgery are often the first goto,” she says, “it’s important to remember that things like yoga can change our chemistry, too.” Sarah Todd is an East Coast-based writer and editor.

all migration literally brings birds of a different feather than in springtime. Spring migration brings a glorious burst of song and color as millions of tiny feathered gems pour northward, singing their hearts out, flitting about with the excitement of arrival at their breeding grounds. They are relatively easy to spot and identify by their voices and bright plumage. In the fall, birdwatching is trickier. To survive, migrating birds need to go to warmer climes for food, because insects do not thrive in cold temperatures. Males molt their bright plumage, needing fresh feathers for the long flight. Most retain some color, but generally, they are duller and look similar to the females. Identification becomes harder because some species are similar in appearance and the singing gives way to an occasional, subtle call, emitted as little chipping sounds at most. The Internet offers a comprehensive range of data that can suggest which days are best for early morning viewings. Experienced birders know the best local spots, and weather forecasts are good indicators of timing. Sid Gautreaux’s pioneering study of bird migration in the 1960s using weather radar, still ongoing at the Radar Ornithology Lab at South Carolina’s Clemson University, is available to birders on regional websites via Tinyurl.com/USBirdTrackingRadar. While radar can confirm the magnitude and direction of the migration over the

previous night, weather predictions help forecast when big flights will occur. So, the next step is to hold a wetted finger up to the wind. A big cold front will hold up birds from moving south because the associated low pressure brings southerly winds and storms. Birds wait it out, storing fuel. Then, when the front clears and a tailwind comes from the north, a floodtide of birds pours southward. Eager birders, having arrived shortly after dawn, await at selected spots 200 to 300 miles south of the leading edge of the former front. On days like these, the skies are brimming with birds. Grassroots monitoring reports on the birds’ progress from mid-August through October are posted at eBird.org, sponsored by New York’s Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Birds.Cornell.edu). As Joni Mitchell sang, we rejoice that, “They’ve got the urge for going now, and they’ve got the wings to go.” Timothy Boucher is a senior conservation geographer at The Nature Conservancy (Nature.org), focused on ecosystem services, land use, habitat conditions and links between conservation and human well-being.

Schools Go Green Homework, Lunch, Buses Get an Eco-Makeover by Avery Mack

With paperless homework, bookless backpacks, zero waste lunches, plasticfree filtered water and classrooms without walls, today’s parents and teachers are bringing eco-friendly ways to schools and giving students an early appreciation of the importance of environmental health.

oing green goes both ways— home to school and school to home. Alysia Reiner, an actress and eco-advocate from New York’s Harlem neighborhood, became involved with the Bank Street School for Children when her daughter enrolled at age 3. “I’m green at home, so in my mind her school had to be green, too. With no programs in place, I made suggestions, which got me elected co-chair of the green committee,” says Reiner, with a smile. “Today, we have a school-wide composting program serving 1,500 students that has reduced previous levels of food waste by 75 percent. To raise awareness and funds to support it, we sold reusable snack sacks, stainless steel water bottles and home composting bags.” An innovative chef focuses on organic foods with vegetarian options for school lunches. The next step is a rooftop garden. When Sheila Hageman, an author, teacher and public speaker living

in Milford, Connecticut, first read the memo requesting garbage-free lunches for her three children at the New England School-Montessori, she couldn’t imagine packing food without the use of plastic wrap, sandwich bags or paper napkins, but, “Now, it’s no big deal,” she says. “I use glass containers and cloth napkins. The kids eat better quality food. It costs less, too, because prepackaged snacks are out.” She notes that the governing rule is one protein, one fruit and one vegetable. The school even has a natural composter—a class guinea pig that loves to eat leftover veggies. Students often bring the first of their homegrown vegetables each season for show and tell in the classroom, where they normally eat lunch. It’s a neat way to avoid mass-produced food; the school has no cafeteria. “A little change

becomes part of a lifestyle,” remarks Hageman. Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches, for grades nine through 12, in West Palm Beach, Florida, provides a near-paperless experience for students, all of which are issued computers. Homework is assigned, completed, graded and returned; tests are given and graded; report cards are sent and textbooks studied—all online. “We buy one set of print books, since not all students learn the same way. But e-books can be updated electronically each year, saving the educational costs of outdated materials and financial costs of replacement,” says Teresa Thornton, Ph.D., the science teacher who spearheaded many of the school’s green initiatives. “By the end of the year, they know how to use software programs to organize and analyze information.” In Pittsburgh, Chatham University follows the example of eco-pioneer and Silent Spring author Rachel Carson, a class of 1929 alumna, to preserve, maintain and restore nature. With the goal to be carbon neutral by 2025, sustainability becomes part of every decision. The Chatham Eastside facility, located in a revitalization area, reclaimed a former manufacturing complex. “We are the first school in Pennsylvania to have a solar hot water system,” says Mary Whitney, the school’s sustainability coordinator. “Bottled water was banned in 2011 and filtered water stations provide free refills for stainless steel bottles. The rent-a-bike program is especially popular with international students.” The two campus Zipcars shared by students can be reserved for a fee. Students also ride free on public transportation. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the Calvin Donaldson Environmental Science Academy, students gain the knowledge and experience to extend the difference they make beyond greening their school. Anne Vilen, a designer for expeditionary learning schools like Donaldson, says, “It’s empowering for students to discover they can make a real impact.” Connect with Avery Mack via AveryMack@Mindspring.com.

Pre-K to College Eco-Lessons n San Francisco was the first city in the nation to put green bins in school cafeterias. Currently, more than 85 percent of its schools participate in SF Environment’s Food to Flowers! lunchroom composting program. Leftover food and empty milk cartons are turned into compost, and then sold to area farmers. Schools can receive free compost for their own gardens. n The Alliance to Save Energy, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, conducts a PowerSave Schools Program that teaches kids how to conduct energy audits at school and home. Participating schools typically realize 5 to 15 percent reductions in energy costs, and students learn math and science skills. n The National Wildlife Federation shows K–12 students how they can actively support nature by establishing schoolyard wildlife habitats. Pupils evaluate the environment, make a plan and then implement it. They can grow food and create shelter for wildlife such as bird feeders and baths and observe the results. A habitat can be as small as 20 square feet or as large as students are able to maintain. n In Tennessee, Ivy Academy Chattanooga strives to integrate nature into every class, with many sessions taught outdoors in the nearby forest. Pupils also work with the region’s forestry division to treat diseased hemlocks and monitor growth, then upload the information to the Smithsonian. Daily hikes improve fitness and emphasize how alternative means of travel reduce the harmful impacts of burning fossil fuels. Many students walk to school while several teachers run up to 10 miles to class. n Schools should be as clean as possible to prevent the spreading of germs, but traditional cleaning agents contain harmful chemicals. Makers of the ZONOsanitech machine attest that it kills nearly all common bacteria and viruses and meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. Using super oxygen (ozone) and less than eight ounces of water per day, the ZONO can clean and sanitize most types of school furniture and materials within 30 minutes, while drawing less than three cents worth of electricity. n “Studies show that 70 percent of ambient air pollution comes from diesel emissions alone,” says Ron Halley, vice president of fleet and facilities at Student Transportation of America (STA), of Wall, New Jersey, with offices in America and Canada. “STA will have a fleet of more than 1,000 alternative-fueled school buses operating in California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Texas this coming school year.” Propane-powered buses emit virtually no particulate matter. STA estimates a savings of more than $2,600 per year for each bus with the use of propane; it historically costs 30 percent less than diesel fuel. Omaha, Nebraska public schools have 435 propane-fueled buses, so the fuel and maintenance savings could exceed a million dollars annually. “Omaha Public Schools’ buses will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2.3 million pounds a year,” says Halley.

SUGAR MONSTER How Sweet It Isn’t by Kathleen Barnes

Healthy Sweeteners

“Am I a sugar addict?” There’s an easy way to tell.

“

f you have to ask yourself, you are,” advises Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, a renowned integrative physician in Kona, Hawaii, and author of Beat Sugar Addiction Now! The dangers of excessive sugar consumption, especially of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), are well known. Yet such cheap, corn-based sweeteners account for nearly 56 percent of all sweeteners, especially in beverages. The average American annually consumes 152 pounds of sugar, compared to 109 pounds in 1950, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A large portion is ingested as sugary liquids, including juices and an average of 46 gallons of soft drinks a year—compared to 11 gallons 50 years ago.

Puts on Pounds

Certainly, high-calorie sugars trigger weight gain, but it may be news that calories from sugar act differently in the body than those from other foods. “Fat doesn’t make you fat. Sugar makes you fat,” states Dr. John Salerno, director of The Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine, in New York, Tokyo and Sao Paolo, Brazil. “Eating carbohydrates quickly raises blood sugar (glucose), prompting the release of insulin to transport the glucose not immediately needed for energy, to the cells,” Salerno explains in his new book, The Salerno Solution: An Ounce of

Palm Beach Edition

While the negative effects of excess sugar consumption have been documented for decades, “Evidence is mounting that sugar is the primary cause of obesity, plus many chronic and lethal diseases,” says Osteopathic Physician Joseph Mercola, of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, who runs the highly popular natural health website, Mercola.com, and has authored books that include The No-Grain Diet and Sweet Deception. “Excessive fructose consumption leads to insulin resistance that appears to be the root of many, if not most, chronic diseases,” says Mercola. Beyond the obvious association with obesity, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, liver and heart disease and Alzheimer’s have all been linked to sugar, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Institutes of Health. “Sugar, in excess, is a toxin, unrelated to its calories,” says Dr. Robert Lustig, an endocrinologist and professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. “The dose determines the poison. Like alcohol, a little sugar is fine, but a lot is not. And the food industry has put us way over our limit.” Sugar can be addictive, continues Lustig. “It has clear potential for abuse. Like tobacco and alcohol, sugar acts on the brain to encourage subsequent intake.”

n Stevia, a powdered extract of a South American plant, is the most popular natural sweetener, delivering no calories or blood sugar swings; 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar, a little goes a long way. Look for a product with no additives. n Sucanat—minimally processed, dehydrated cane sugar juice—is a reasonably healthy alternative, especially to substitute measure for measure in baking. Because it metabolizes like sugar, it too will cause blood sugar swings; also note that both agave and “raw” sugar, which is merely less refined table sugar, have similar effects.

Everyday Sugar Addicts by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum A solution to sugar addiction is simply to stop eating sugars, especially any form of corn syrup. Drink more water and take a high-quality multivitamin, plus other supplements as necessary. Here are the four characteristics of people that tend to obsessively seek sugar. 4 Chronically exhausted and looking for an energy boost 4 Stressed out and suffering from adrenal exhaustion 4 Cravings caused by excessive presence of yeast/candida 4 Hormonally related cravings

n Honey, while not calorie-free, is high in heart-healthy flavonoids and anti-allergens, and may even help lower cholesterol, according to a study from University Hospital Giessen and Marburg, in Germany. n Maple syrup carries calories, but is also a rich source of polyphenol anti-inflammatory antioxidants. A University of Rhode Island, Kingston, study suggests that maple syrup may help manage Type 2 diabetes. n Molasses, while not calorie-free, is a worthy alternative if weight isn’t an issue, since it’s a good source of minerals, especially iron. n Raw monk fruit (avoid processed Nectresse), a small, sweet melon native to China and Southeast Asia known as luo han guo, has traditionally been used in herbal medicine. It is touted as being low in carbs and is 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. n Coconut sugar is generating excitement largely because of its low glycemic index (35) and low carbohydrate qualities. This optimum option is a good source of potassium, magnesium, iron, boron, zinc, sulfur and copper. n All fruit contains fructose, but in a natural state—not synthesized as a vegetable product like corn syrup. Fruit also comes loaded with health benefits, so eating it in moderation works,

especially fruits and berries that are low on the glycemic index, a measure of carbohydrate effects on blood sugar levels. Kathleen Barnes has authored many natural health books. Connect at KathleenBarnes.com.

Corn Syrup Hides in Processed Foods Most of us might suspect that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) lurks in soft drinks, baked goods, candy and other sweets, but substantial amounts permeate many processed foods. Key culprits include: 4 Applesauce 4 Bottled steak and barbecue sauces 4 Breads 4 Breakfast cereals (including low-calorie ones) 4 Canned soups

4 Catsup 4 Canned vegetables 4 Cottage cheese 4 Flavored yogurt 4 Juice drinks 4 Salad dressings 4 Spaghetti sauce

Notes: HFCS sometimes hides on labels as inulin, glucose-fructose syrup, isoglucose and fruit fructose, among others. Sources include several online publications and food product labels.

The Allure of Confidence Supermodel Sarah DeAnna’s Universal Beauty Secrets by April Thompson

ongtime supermodel Sarah DeAnna believes in our ability to shape both our life—and our looks. Raised by a single mom in the small farm town of Jefferson, Oregon, DeAnna made her way to Los Angeles after putting herself through college, earning a degree in international business marketing from Oregon State University, in Corvallis. While she planned to pursue a graduate degree in business at the University of California, a chance meeting with a photographer at a Hollywood café instead launched her career as an international fashion model, realizing a childhood dream. This natural health trendsetter has since appeared in Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire, and walked the runway for such internationally renowned designers as Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Stella McCartney. DeAnna credits her success to her commitment to modeling a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In her new book, Supermodel You, she debunks myths about modeling, fitness and beauty, explaining how beauty emanates from the inside out.

How does self-awareness bring out one’s natural beauty? Self-awareness starts with being aware of your actions and their effects. For example, if you’re not paying attention to what you eat and how you feel afterward, you won’t realize that your body may be sending you signals about the quality of what you’re eating. How you walk also affects your

body in more ways than you realize. Being alert to little things that may be throwing you off balance—like carrying more weight on one foot or turning a foot out when you walk—are small steps to developing self-awareness. When a Harvard University study informed a group of hotel housekeepers that didn’t consider themselves physically active that they were actually exercising all day long, they all lost weight. The only difference was their awareness of their work as exercise.

Why do you believe that models that follow less severe diets and workout regimens are better off? Restrictive extremes put enormous stress on your body, which is a leading cause of unhealthy weight gain. When I first started out, I didn’t know that I was eating too little and working out too much and too hard. Then my agent told me to ease my exercise and start eating some healthy fats again, which the body needs. When I stopped overdoing it, I both felt better and achieved my target weight. There isn’t any one kind of diet or exercise practice that’s right for everyone; it’s all about having a positive relationship with food and your body.

what you are reading, watching or eating before bedtime, and change it. Creating a sleep ritual is helpful; I light candles and lower music in the house to wind down long before when I want to be asleep.

How do models manage to look like a million bucks on a modest income while they await their big break? Confidence is the most beautiful thing. Good posture makes you look thinner and better-looking. It’s not the number of pounds that matter; you know before you step on the scale if you are happy with the way you look and feel. As for fashion, it’s not just what you wear, but how you wear it. How clothes fit is important. We all have different shapes, and even models will have “muffin tops” if the pants aren’t hitting their hips in the right place. Rather than focus on the size, focus on how a garment looks on you.

You’ve been told that you aren’t “commercially beautiful”. How can each of us reframe the way we think about our own appeal? I’m sometimes told I’m too edgy-looking or too strong-featured. But as my agent says, if everyone liked me, I would just be ordinary. You need to love whatever is different about you. Cindy Crawford has a noticeable mole; Tyra Banks has a large forehead. These models turned such “flaws” into personal trademarks that set them apart.

The industry can be unkind to older models. What lessons have you learned from watching your predecessors?

What are some of your favorite tips for getting a good night’s sleep?

The modeling business is finally realizing that society wants to see more naturallooking women, so they are bringing back the older supermodels, and they look amazing. We are even seeing models in their 80s now as an awesome positive representation of older women. It’s all about having a positive outlook and embracing who and what you are.

I make sleep a priority, even if it means missing out on late night fun. Tune in to what is keeping you awake, whether it’s

Maintaining one’s own fitness program can prove a challenge when the will to work out fizzles. Many people are getting help conquering roadblocks and staying on an effective path of regular exercise through an enduring relationship with a personal trainer.

pproximately 6.4 million Americans now engage personal trainers, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, including some in less traditional locations, like community centers and corporate workplaces. When a client sticks with a personal trainer over the long haul, the relationship can evolve beyond a caring coach into a steadfast mentor, producing benefits that transcend basic fitness. “I have individuals I’ve worked with for 10 years, and have come to know them and their bodies and habits well,” says Kristin McGee, a New York City trainer who counts celebrities like Steve Martin and Tina Fey as clients. By understanding all aspects of each of her clients, she says

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

she can better tailor programs to meet their needs. When nine-year client Bebe Duke, 58, faced a lengthy rehabilitation after tripping and shattering a shoulder, McGee helped lift her spirits, ease her back into full-body fitness and even slay some psychological dragons. “We worked her lower half; we kept her strong and her moods steady with meditation and yoga,” McGee says. “The physical therapist knew how to work with her shoulder joint, but not with the rest of her body and the rest of her life.” Duke felt, as she puts it, “a significant fear of falling” after the accident. “So we spent an enormous amount of time on balance and making sure I didn’t feel nervous.”

“Group training can cost as little as $15 an hour. Women especially enjoy combining fitness with socializing. Working together and growing together, they feed off and rely on each other to show up.”

Traits to Look for in a Trainer by Cecily Casey

~ Kristin McGee McGee was able to help Duke prevent fitness loss, which can happen to anyone that goes four weeks without exercising, reports Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise journal. Maintaining regular exercise can also deter depression, confirmed by a study in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine. Three years after the injury, Duke can now hold a downward dog yoga pose and do a headstand. “I’m also running again,” Duke adds. “I’m signed up for a half marathon.” Richard Cotton, a personal trainer in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the American College of Sports Medicine’s national director of certification, agrees that a good long-term trainer often serves as a fitness, nutrition and even life coach. “You can’t metaphorically cut off people’s heads and only train their bodies. Then you are just a technician,” he observes. Building a true foundation for health requires understanding the importance of each building block, not just working with a trainer for a few sessions and afterwards going blindly through the motions, attests Sandra Blackie, a former professional bodybuilder, certified nutritionist and current personal trainer in San Diego, California. “I want to educate my clients.” During extended periods, good trainers also revise routines at least once every four weeks to prevent adaptation, another problem that can hinder reaching fitness goals. “Without trainers, people often get stuck in a rut and lose motivation,” remarks Blackie, who also adapts exercises according to bodily changes due to aging or other conditions. Long-term relationships also allow trainers to focus on the individual’s bottom-line goals, Cotton notes. For instance, “I want to lose 10 pounds,” might really mean, “I want the energy to play with my kids,” or “I want to feel more alert at work.” “Achievable goals evolve from values,” Cotton explains. “It’s not about getting in super great shape for six months and then stopping. It’s about creating a foundation for life.” Freelance journalist Debra Melani writes about health care and fitness from Lyons, CO. Connect at DebraMelani.com or DMelani@msn.com.

FAT FIGHT Like Us, Pets Must Eat Right and Keep Moving by Dr. Shawn Messonnier Current medical consensus states that an animal is obese if it weighs at least 15 percent more than its ideal weight. But looking at body composition is more accurate, based on measurements top-to-bottom and side-toside and depth to the ribs and spine.

Health Issues

besity, a severe and debilitating illness, is the most common nutritional disease in both animals and people. The latest survey of 121 veterinarians in 36 states by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) and corroborating American Veterinarian Medical Association data reveal we have 80 million fat cats and obese dogs; that’s more than 58 percent of dogs and 52 percent of domesticated cats. “Pet obesity remains the leading health threat to our nation’s pets,” says Dr. Ernie Ward, APOP’s founder, from the organization’s headquarters in Calabash, North Carolina.

Animals aren’t born fat. Obesity results from too many calories in food, snacks and treats, paired with a lack of aerobic exercise. People may believe they are showing love by rewarding begging with treats, but they actually may be slowly killing their companions with kindness, putting them on a path toward painful and costly medical problems. These can include cancer, cardiac problems, complications from drug therapy, difficulty breathing, heat intolerance, hypertension, intervertebral disk disease, orthopedic conditions (including arthritis), lethargy and ruptured ligaments. Also, because excess body fat first deposits in the cavities of the chest and abdomen and under the skin, hypothyroidism and diabetes mel-

litus can develop, so screen overweight animals for these disorders prior to treatment for obesity. Tackling obesity involves restricting calories and increasing the metabolic rate with a controlled exercise program. Diet and exercise are the two most vital factors in fighting fat.

Eating Right

Simply switching to a store-bought “lite” pet food is inadequate because many are designed to maintain, not lose, weight. Also, many products contain chemicals, byproducts and unhealthy fillers that are contrary to a holistic program. A homemade restricted-calorie diet is the best choice for obese animals. The second is a processed “obesitymanagement” diet available through veterinarians, although many of these also contain chemicals, byproducts and fillers. Such diets can be used to attain the target weight, and then replaced with a homemade maintenance diet. Foods high in fiber work well for shedding pounds because they increase metabolism. Vegetable fiber decreases fat and glucose absorption. Fluctuating glucose levels cause greater insulin release that can lead

to diabetes; because insulin is needed for fat storage, low, stable levels are preferred.Â Fiber also binds to fat in the intestinal tract and increases the movement of digested food through the intestines.

Supplement Options

Several natural therapies may be helpful for treating animal obesity. These include herbs such as cayenne, ginger and mustard; white bean extract; chromium; carnitine; hydroxycitric acid (HCA); epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); and coenzyme Q10. All have been widely used with variable success, although not yet thoroughly researched or clinically proven. A supplement called Vetri-Lean appears promising. Based on a white bean extract, it has cut starch digestion by up to 75 percent in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinical tests. The formula also has EGCG from green tea extract to boost metabolism, inhibit carbohydratedigesting enzymes and help maintain normal blood insulin levels, all to help dissolve fat and control appetite. Chromium polynicotinate, another ingredient, also helps to curb appetite, build muscles and reduce fat.

Exercise is Key

As with humans, a regular program of supervised exercise is essential to pet health. Experience shows that it must be combined with a diet and supplement plan to achieve maximum results for overweight pets. Along with burning off excess calories, even mild exercise works to reduce hunger, improve muscle strength and aerobic capacity and improve functioning of organs. Plus, as veterinarians further attest, the activity is mentally stimulating for both animals and guardians, while decreasing behavioral problems. There is no one best exercise program for every animal; a sensible plan must be personalized to needs and abilities. Consult a veterinarian to determine the best regimen. As always, prevention is better than a cure, so staying alert to signs of additional pounds and keeping an animal from becoming obese in the first place is optimum.

THE YAMAS & NIYAMAS By Deborah Adele

ost everyone who attends yoga classes on a regular basis has probably heard of the Yamas and the Niyamas. They are 2 parts of the 8-part path of yoga laid out by the sage Pantanjali in the Yoga Sutras. Pantanjli lived around 150 DC and his teachings are still alive today. The Yamas and Niyamas can be thought of as guiding principles or ideals for conscious living. The Yamas, a Sanskrit word which translates literally into the word ‘restraints,’ include nonviolence, truthfulness, nonstealing, nonexcess and nonpossessiveness. The Niyamas, or ‘observations’, include purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study and surrender. There are numerous books on the Yamas and the Niyamas but I particularly like Deborah’s rendition. She holds master’s degrees in both Liberal Studies and Theology & Religious Studies, as well as training in Gestalt skills and Strategic Intelligence Skills. She carries yoga certifications in Kundalini yoga, Hatha yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Meditation. She addresses each Yama and Niyama from a rich, personal perspective and her style of writing is engaging and informative with wonderful examples clarifying each concept. She also suggests topics for contemplation and reflection to aid you in going deeper in your understanding.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. ~Jim Rohn 56

Regardless of whether you enjoy the practice of yoga or not this book is a wonderful tool for skillfully creating a wonderful life. Here is a brief excerpt of the Yama Ahimsa or Nonviolence: In the Karate Kid movies, Mr. Miyagi at first appears to be a silly, rather harmless little old man to seventeen year old Daniel. Mr. Miyagi is humble and unpretentious; he sits around for hours trying to catch flies with chopsticks, tends his bonsai trees, and doesn’t even seem to bat an eye when provoked. But as the movie progresses and bullies threaten both Daniel and Mr. Miyagi, Mr. Miyagi springs into defensive action. Daniel’s eyes are opened to the incredible ability of this old man who skillfully takes on opponents larger and younger than he is. From that point on, Mr. Miyagi becomes Daniel’s mentor in the art of skillful defense, true friendship, and the art of living. Nonviolence may appear to us like Mr. Miyagi first appeared to Daniel. It can look so passive and unimportant that we can easily ignore its presence and subtleties of its power. In Eastern thought, nonviolence is so valued that it stands as the very core and foundation of all yoga philosophy and practice. All of our achievements and successes, hopes and joys stand on faulty ground if they do not stand on the foundation built by nonviolence. Doing physical harm is a gross form of violence that is easily seen and understood. However, nonviolence has many subtle implications as well. When we feel hurried, afraid, powerless, out of balance and harsh with ourselves, we may find ourselves speaking words of unkindness

or even exploding with a violent outburst. As our awareness of these nuances grows, we learn that our ability to be nonviolent to others is directly related to our ability to be nonviolent within ourselves. Our inner strength and character determines our ability to be a person of peace at home and in the world. In the Karate Kid movies, Daniel did not go into karate school to study. Instead, he became skilled at karate by learning how to move through the daily chores of waxing cars, sanding wood, and painting fences. In much the same way, we grow our capacity to be nonviolent by learning how to move through the everyday challenges of life and by addressing the things that precipitate our tendencies towards violence. Ahimsa, or nonviolence, literally to do ‘no harm’, calls forth from us our most brilliant and best self. Our capacity to be nonviolent depends on our proactive practice of courage, balance, love of self, and compassion for others.

ROSEMARY

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

osemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a wonderful, pungent, aromatic, “camphoraceious”, evergreen, indigenous to the Mediterranean region and now cultivated all over the world, including a nice big bush in my very own Florida garden. The botanical name Rosmarinus is derived from Latin for “dew of the sea”, referring to its pale blue flowers and its origins around the Mediterranean Sea. Rosemary is propagated by seeds, cuttings, and divisions of roots. It does best in a light, rather dry soil, in a sheltered location with sun. It can grow up to about five feet high, with bluish, sometimes pink or white flowers, and can live for 30 years or more. It is the Rosemary leaves, which look a bit like pine needles, that are harvested and dried.

“There’s Rosemary, that’s for remembrance.” Shakespeare’s Hamlet to Ophelia

Rosemary has been used since ancient times, and one of its more well known qualities was for strengthening the memory, hence its use as a sign of fidelity for lovers. It has been used for everything from weddings, banquets, festivals, cooking, religious ceremonies, incense and magic spells, to funerals. At weddings, it was first dipped in scented water and then entwined in the wreath worn by the bride. The wedding guests also received a Rosemary branch, gilded and tied with silken ribbons, as a sign of love and loyalty. A minister named Roger Hacket, in his 1607 sermon entitled “A Marriage Present” spoke eloquently from the pulpit: “Speaking of the powers of Rosemary, it overtoppeth all the flowers of the garden… It helpeth the brain, strengtheneth the memorie, and is very medicinable for the head. Another property of the Rosemary is, it affects the heart. Let this Rosmarinus, this flower of men, ensigne of your wisdom, love and loyaltie, be carried not only in your hands, but in your hearts and heads.” Sir Thomas More wrote: “As for Rosemary, I lett it runne all over my garden walls, not onlie because my bees love it, but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance, and, therefore, to friendship; whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language that maketh it the chosen emblem of our funeral wakes and in our burial grounds.” Rosemary was cultivated and found in so many kitchen gardens that it came to represent the dominant influence of the woman of the house: “Where Rosemary flourished, the woman ruled.”

In Spain, Rosemary is revered as one of the bushes that gave shelter to the Virgin Mary in her flight to Egypt, and it is called “Romero”, the Pilgrim’s Flower. Rosemary has long been regarded as a safeguard from evil throughout the Mediterranean. Rosemary was often burned in the room of a sick person, and in French hospitals it is customary to burn Rosemary and Juniper berries to purify the air and prevent infection. It was placed in courtrooms to prevent “jail fever”. It has been carried by mourners at funerals and cast on to the coffin before burial. Here are some more good quotes from an old book called Bankes’ Herbal by Miss Rohde: “Take the flowers thereof and make powder thereof and binde it to thy right arme in a linen cloath and it shale make thee light and merrie.” “Take the flowers and put them in thy chest among thy clothes or among thy bookes, and moths shall not destroy them.” “Boyle the leaves in white wine and washe thy face therewith and thy browes, and thou shalt have a faire face.” “Also put the leaves under thy bedde and thou shalt be delivered of all evill dreames.”

napalmbeach.com

“Also if thou be feeble, boyle the leaves in cleane water and washe thyself and thou shalt wax shiny.” “Make thee a box of the wood of Rosemary and smell it and it shall preserve thy youth.” And from the Grete Herbal: “Rosemary – For weyknesse of ye brayne. Against weyknesse of the brayne and coldnesse thereof, seethe rosemarina in wyne and let the paycent receve the smoke at his nose and keep his heed warme.”

In more recent times, scientists at the University of Cincinnati claim that the scent of Rosemary is an effective memory stimulant. Sounds like our braynes need more of that! The medicinal oils from Rosemary contain several important compounds, including: rosmarinic acid, diterpenes, triterpenes, and flavonoids. Rosemary has many medicinal uses today, including:

• Antimicrobial • Antiviral • Antifungal • Anticancer: it cut in half the incidence of lung, breast, and colon cancer in lab animals • Spasmolytic: eases the spasms of the gall bladder and the small intestine in animal studies • Circulation: improves circulation when rubbed on the skin • Hypertension: reduces blood pressure • Stomach upset • Loss of appetite • Rheumatism. Unproven claims of Rosemary use include: headaches, dysmenorrhea, exhaustion, dizziness, wound healing, eczema, and sciatica. Rosemary is used in shampoos to lighten blonde hair, condition and tone all hair. It is used in the preparation of Eau-de-Cologne. It makes great wreaths and potpourris. Contraindications: Rosemary should not be used medicinally during pregnancy, but as a spice it’s okay. Precautions and adverse effects: contact skin allergies can occur. The rosemary oil is usually quite concentrated, so it should not be used internally, in general. Dosage: • Tea: 1 teaspoon of dried leaves per cup of boiling water, then strain after 15 minutes (tea may be taken several times per day). • Tincture (1:5) single dose: 20-40 drops • Liquid extract (1:1) single dose: 2-4 ml • Externally: semi-solid and liquid forms with 6-10% essential oil • Bath additive: 50 grams of dried leaves to 1 liter of hot water added to a full bath.

LADIES, YOUR DOCTOR IS IN. TAKE ACTION; TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE. I am looking for a courageous woman. One who wants to take back control of her life. Conventional medicine stresses what is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You were born in perfect harmony and you’ve been offered only drugs and surgery to fix you. Natural holistic medicine stresses what is right with you and gives you tools to builld up: • Happy hormones • Vibrant energy • Natural optimal health • Positive self esteem • Peak sex Let’s get to work. Call me when you are ready to take a positive step in your life to heal yourself. Dr. Helene has practiced OB-GYN with a Holistic Medicine approach in the Northeast for over 20 years. She has delivered over one thousand babies as a Board Certified Doctor. She is a published researcher and a well known Author and Lecturer. Today, Dr. Helene is available for a holistic Integrative Medicine aproach for her patients. But-that is not the point! It is all about you! Now accepting patients for the first time in Florida.
