Sound Wave Treatments for Migranes and Fibromyalgia Three Area Women Conquer Migraines

T

he three women had reached the end of their rope. They thought they had exhausted every avenue of treatment, and nothing worked for long.

Lori N. Strok, Danielle Wendrychowicz and Tina McLaughlin had all but given up hope finding relief from the crippling head pain that altered their lives. They aren’t alone. The American Council for Headache Pain estimates that 8,700,000 women suffer from migraines each year.

Women most susceptible are those between the ages of 35 and 45, when many are at the height of their career, family responsibilities and social life.

Strok, for example says, “I was at wit’s end.”

The 27 year-old Accounts Payable Manager, had tried several over-the-­counter, aspirin-based medications and more than one prescription medicine.

“I took them every day trying to relieve the pain of

25 years and they had been getting worse with time,” she says.

Strok had suffered with them for four years and Wendrychowicz for 7 years.

Although the number of years that they have suffered with migraines varies, the common thread weaving through the women’s experiences with migraines is how the pain changed, indeed, controlled their lives.

Strok, for example, says “It would almost stop my life. I’d leave social functions like parties. I couldn’t work when they were really bad.

ment that was producing startling results in another woman suffering from chronic migraines.

The treatment is gentle and effective treatment and requires no prescription medication or physical, hands-on manipulation. It comprises only a pulse of sound directed to a person’s atlas-the top vertebrae that supports the head. After an extensive examination, setting up for the treatment takes only minutes and the sound pulse lasts less than a second. Although a person can barely feel the pulse, it produces dramatic results.

“Since undergoing treatment, I’ve had no headaches,” she says. “It’s even helped relieve the generalized body pain caused by fibromyalgia.”

Dr. Sandoz, originally from Cinnamin­son and now in Mt. Laurel explains “Migraines often are caused by physical and stress-related problems due to mis­alignment of the atlas vertebrae. Cor­recting the misalignment alleviates the cause of the problem and relieves the migraines.”

Drs. Joshua and John Sandoz Dr. Sandoz has been working with his son, Dr. Joshua Sandoz, for over 8 years. Their practice is one of only a few in the New Jersey and Philadelphia area who offer this treatment along with Spinal Decompres­sion

Therapy, Class 4 Laser and Neurofeedback Therapy.

Strok says, “Dr. Sandoz applied the sound pulse to my finger to show that it was painless and it was, I couldn’t believe it.” She received weekly treatments at first and now goes once ev-

ery three weeks. They have helped better than anything else she has tried. Wendrychowicz shares a similar experi­ence. “Since undergoing treatment, I’ve had no headaches,” she says. “It’s even helped relieve the generalized body pain caused by fibromyalgia.” McLaughlin, too, reports good results. After only four treatments, she was pain free. “I counted the days,” she says. “And I had no migraines for almost three weeks.” For the first time in 10 years she didn’t fear going to sleep and being awakened by a migraine.

What’s their advice to other

For the first time in 10 years she didn’t fear going to sleep and being awakened by a migraine. women suffering from migraines?

Strok, for example, suggests that they not give up and depend solely on medica­tion. “There is help for your problem and Dr. Sandoz is it.”

ood is one of my favorite little indulgences in life. I struggle to think of anything that offends my palate and I am open enough to try just about anything.

My attitude was shaped early in life as I had the good fortune to travel extensively and personally experience some very exotic foods. Today, with so much abundance and diversity in this wonderful country, we can easily include a wide variety of cuisines in our diets.

If you’re an ethnic food junkie, you can rest assured that many provide numerous health benefits and we outline a few in the main feature along with some interesting recipes. We also pulled together a restaurant roundup of the healthiest eateries right here in our backyard that you may not have heard of. Be sure to include them as you look to expand your palate and simultaneously support local small businesses.

Pets Are Inn Offers In-Home Pet Boarding

M

ost pets dread being boarded while their owners are away.

With Pets Are Inn, a one-of-a-kind boarding company that matches your pet with a host family for in-home stays, the days of leaving your beloved pet behind in the cramped quarters of a kennel cage are gone.

Pets Are Inn-approved hosts are carefully screened, pre-approved families that welcome pets with open arms. Host families provide a loving home environment and carefully match the personal attention your pet is used to, from petting to playing and walking. The host family is equipped with your pet’s food, feeding and exercise schedules, medication needs and home life routine. You can also send them along with their favorite toys, blankets and treats so they’ll settle in more quickly. They also provide round-trip transportation to and from your home.

An in-depth phone interview will yield everything there is to know about you and your pets. Should time allow, they’ll also come meet the pet prior to the first boarding. This process helps them make the most appropriate match to a host home that’ll be familiar and comfortable for your pet. You are also allowed to send a letter to the host family with additional information about your pet’s habits.

Gooseberries are Good for the Gut Researchers from Malaysia’s Islamic Science University tested 30 patients with gastrointestinal issues, dividing them into three groups. One received lactose, a placebo; another group was given omeprazole, an overthe-counter remedy; and the third Phyllanthus emblica Linn, an ayurvedic treatment for gastrointestinal issues also known as Indian gooseberry.

The research found the herbal treatment resulted in less pain, vomiting, sleep loss and other issues.

Participants’ intestinal walls also showed signs of significant healing. The researchers concluded, “Findings indicate that the ethanolic extract of P. emblica fruits has gastroprotective effects in humans that justify its traditional use.”

Research from Duke University Medical School indicates that eating red meat and poultry increases risk for Type 2 diabetes. Published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Singapore Chinese Health Study followed 63,257 adults between ages 45 and 74 for an average of 11 years each. It was determined that meat and poultry consumption increased diabetes incidence by 23 and 15 percent, respectively.

Leafy greens, which are rich in vitamin K, have again been shown to provide outsized benefits for heart health. Researchers from the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University found that a reduced intake of vitamin K1 leads to more than triple the risk of an enlargement of the heart’s left ventricle, which reduces blood pumping volume, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition.

Researchers followed diet records for 766 participants ages 14 to 18 and monitored their vascular structure and functionality. When compared to those with the highest intake of vitamin K1 from foods such as spinach, cabbage and other leafy, green vegetables, those with the lowest intake were more likely to experience vascular enlargement.

Eating Meat Raises Diabetes Risk

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DETERS ALZHEIMER’S According to a study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers discovered the risk of dementia can be halved by engaging in physical activities like walking, dancing and gardening, which significantly improve brain volume in the hippocampus region and the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes. The scientists studied 876 participants for 30 years and completed a longitudinal memory test of the patients, which were 78 years old on average, and followed up with MRI brain scans. They recorded their physical activity and logged caloric output every week.

Two other studies found that any exercise that raises our heart rate and produces sweating for a sustained period will benefit cognitive health as we age. One meta-analysis of 36 studies from Australia’s University of Canberra found that exercise improved cognition by an average of 29 percent for those older than 50; another small group study from Germany’s Otto von Guericke University, in Magdeburg, specifically showed that dancing benefits seniors’ cognition.

The Importance of Empathy in Primary Care While it is inherently important to have a primary care doctor that listens to you and provides positive interactions, research also shows that an empathetic relationship can also have a significant impact on your health.

A recent study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information was conducted on the doctor-patient interaction and its impact on the severity and duration of the common cold.

Results found that when patients perceived their doctor as being caring and empathetic had reduced severity, a shorter cold, and physiological changDr. Julie Snyder es—including lower positive immune response in the blood—were detected as well. This study demonstrates the importance of building a trusting relationship with your primary care giver and how empathy can make a huge difference on not only the patient’s perceptions but their health outcomes as well.

Dr. Julie Snyder of R-Health educates people on the practice of integrative and holistic medicine, and how it allows doctors to treat the whole person while focusing on mind, body, spirit and environment. Holistic doctors are able to use all healing modalities from medications to diet and exercise changes, mind-body tools and much more. They are able to focus on the prevention and optimization of health by taking a proactive approach to correct small imbalances before they possibly lead to more serious diseases.

Renewable Energy Subsidies Lag Far Behind

The G20 nations, comprising the world’s biggest economies, provide four times more public financing to support fossil fuels than renewable energy, says a report from the environmental coalition Oil Change International (Tinyurl.com/ TalkIsCheapOilReport). This took place even though German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced climate change as the heart of the agenda at the Hamburg summit in July 2017. The public financing—in soft loans and guarantees from governments along with huge fossil fuel subsidies—makes coal, oil and natural gas cheaper to use in the short run because both the front-end and back-end costs are undisclosed.

The goal is to enable at-risk youths in North St. Louis to grow food and make money through food packaging and distribution. The project encourages people to become innovative, selfsufficient players in today’s expanding global economy.

Brown says, “Success doesn’t always mean you’ve made a lot of money; it can also mean you’ve survived poverty or managed to create something.”

Uncontrolled Lice Threaten Fish Industry

A surge in parasitic sea lice that attach themselves to and feed on salmon, killing or rendering them unsuitable for dinner tables, is disrupting salmon farms in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, Norway and Chile.

Wholesale prices for the species have already increased 50 percent over last year, leading to higher consumer prices for everything from salmon fillets and steaks to more expensive lox on bagels. Scientists and fish farmers are working on new ways to control the pests. Fish Farmer magazine states that losses by the global aquaculture industry could be as high as $1 billion annually. The only hope is to develop new methods to control the spread of the lice, which are naturally present in the wild, but thrive in the tightly packed ocean pens used for fish farming.

Hywind, the first floating wind farm in the UK, is located 15 miles offshore of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Its five turbines with a 30-megawatt capacity will provide clean energy to more than 20,000 homes to help meet the country’s ambitious climate change targets. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says, “The government’s commitment to the development of this technology, coupled with Statoil’s [lithium] battery storage project, Batwind, positions Scotland as a world center for energy innovation.” Hywind is operated by Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil ASA and Masdar Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co.

If Not Now, When?

CHANGE YOUR HEALTH WITH

Nutrition Response Testing

by Giulia Eve Flores

I

t was Hippocrates, known as “the Father of Medicine,” who declared: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” The Natural Health Improvement Center of South Jersey, in Cherry Hill, is a prime example of the greatest Greek physician’s famous words.

Founder Sarah Outlaw always wanted to be a healer. Through her own experience, she realized that all healing starts with health, and that all health starts with nutrition. “What drives me is getting sick people well,” she shares. “Often, people come here as their last resort, their last hope. I say, ‘While there is life, there is hope,’ and we live and run our practice by that. It is truly fulfilling to be able to give people their lives back, improve the quality of their lives, and help them become better versions of themselves.”

The Natural Health Improvement Center is a Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) practice, and it is this technique that makes them so unique. NRT is a trademarked, precise, scientific and non-invasive way of analyzing the body in order to determine the root cause of ill health. It uses musclestrength testing to communicate with the body’s own innate intelligence to evaluate the response to a broad variety of substances that may be affecting health and function.

These neurological reflexes are the body’s way of communicating what and how the nervous system is doing. Also the feedback is said to be so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed.

Outlaw helps people with virtually all sorts of illnesses: from autoimmune diseases, adrenal, thyroid, digestive, skin 16

South Jersey Edition

Sarah Outlaw and fertility issues, to food allergies, metal and chemical toxicity, and Lyme’s disease.

She attests that the cause of illness is almost always some kind of immune system issue, which is almost always caused by a nutritional deficiency imbalance. By bringing the body back in balance with the right nutrition and supplements, she strives to aid you to regain optimum health.

Outlaw charged head-on into her studies, and went from being a homeschooling stay-at-home mom of four to also becoming a highly successful health entrepreneur. She went back to school and gained credentials as a certified health coach, clinical master herbalist, advanced NRT practitioner and clinical functional nutritionist, all while being fully cheered on by her family.

“My husband was a huge support for me,” she says. “‘If not now, when?’ he would say. So I went back to school. I was still breastfeeding my youngest son at the time, but that problem was swiftly solved

NASouthJersey.com

by my husband suggesting to come to school with me, so I could nurse my son in between classes.”

She herself was immensely helped

by Nutrition Response Testing, and so she became passionate about healing others with it. “I used to have bad cystic acne, migraines, stress, and fatigue. On top of that, I had Lyme’s disease. A few cycles on a program relieved me of it all. And that can be the same for you,” she proclaims. “I understand what ill health feels like, and I have great compassion for what people go through. The greatest thing we offer is a tailor made program, which is very specific to the individual and their health issues. It is not ‘one size fits all’, and it is this specificity that reaps results.”

Outlaw is very open about her own health struggles, which makes it easy for clients to relate. It is her outstanding clinical and communication skills that make her work stand out, and those qualities are the reason people are flying in to South Jersey to come see her. With a strong belief in integrity, commitment, honesty and open communication, Outlaw possesses many special qualities.

“Be well, and thrive!” rings her slogan, and to that she adds: “Life is short, live it well! Truly, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Take the time to get taken care of. You never realize how bad you feel until you start healing and feeling better.”

Even though her outreach is already spanning far and wide, with a popular health blog called Real Food Outlaws, a large social media following and a satellite practice about to open, she is ever eager to help more people heal. “If you are a Nutrition Response Testing case, then nothing will help you as much,” she affirms. “My door is always open. Even if the timing isn’t perfect, I am going to be here for you when you are ready. I’m not going anywhere. And if you want to feel better now, make an appointment to change your health today!”

Unfortunately, as with any trend, many competitive companies have been spawned that attempt to convince the consumer that their products are “pure essential oils” too, but instead may utilize synthetic oil imitations, or oils made from genetically modified seeds, or oils diluted with carrier oils, or oils distilled from plants grown with pesticides and/or herbicides—all of which distorts, weakens and chemically changes the innate power of essential oils.

The Replenish Center Adds Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Aging Skin

by Jennifer Lesser

I

t’s impossible to avoid many of the environmental and lifestyle factors that can lead to premature aging—like sun damage or stress—but both men and women are turning back the hands of time by learning how to manage the metabolic and hormonal causes of age-related symptoms from menopause to hair loss.

“When it comes to hormonal therapies, the goal is to bring your hormones back into balance so patients are no longer as symptomatic and can function better in their day-to-day lives,” explains Dr. Camille Semple-Daly, who is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, integrative medicine and aesthetic medicine. Her practice, The Replenish Center, in Willingboro, offers integrative medicine as well as aesthetics and gynecology.

Among her practice’s offerings is Bioidentical Hormone Restoration Therapy, or BHRT; her method of Pellet BHRT more closely mimics the body’s ability to deliver necessary hormones to the organs in need.

Patients may benefit from this therapy if they’re experiencing symptoms including anxiety and depression, fatigue, insomnia, hot flashes, low libido or erectile dysfunction, hair loss, sleep issues, irritability, vaginal dryness or weight gain.

Women that are already suffering from symptoms of menopause or may be battling heavy or painful periods, ovarian diseases or unexplained infertility—or men that have been diagnosed with thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue or osteoporosis— can also benefit from BHRT. Its benefit is that alternative treatments for these types of conditions can lead to serious health issues ranging from blood clots to heart 18

South Jersey Edition

Dr. Camille Semple-Daly disease, she notes.

“These therapies are designed to help patients take charge of their health, return to optimal function and enhance their lives,” Semple-Daly explains. “The goal is to get to a point where you’re not just existing, but thriving… and doing so in a great state of mind and health.”

Many Americans struggle with weight gain, and part of the reason may be that people don’t always understand the root causes of why they’re having weight issues.

“Most of it has to do with your lifestyle, but sometimes there are underlying factors that need to addressed,” she explains.

Her practice offers a weight management program that helps patients lose weight

NASouthJersey.com

quickly and safely while also helping them recognize why they may be gaining weight in the first place.

Further, for those problem areas that won’t respond to diet and exercise—like love handles—there are cutting-edge procedures like liquid lipo injections to help permanently eliminate fat in those problem areas. “The treatment is permanent as long as patients don’t gain the weight back; the body eliminates the fat cells through its own detoxification systems, but they can grow back with weight gain,” Semple-Daly further elaborates.

Among the practice’s most cuttingedge therapies is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which can use the body’s own growth factors to restore vitality and replenish depleted resources with natural components. It can also be used to stimulate the natural production of collagen and both reverse and prevent premature skin aging.

PRP procedures include the trademarked Vampire Facials to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks and Vampire Facelifts to restore volume, tone and smoothness to the skin; it can also be used to treat hair loss and male and female sexual dysfunction. The procedures are considered natural, safe and effective because they concentrate the regenerating cells from the patient’s own body and place them directly into the area where they’re needed; PRP injections trademarked as O-Shot and Performance-Shot, for example, can address sexual issues ranging from stamina and erectile dysfunction in men to urinary incontinence and lubrication in women.

“PRP can bolster your own body’s mechanics for healing itself,” she explains.

“For the most part, our bodies are selfhealing systems, but when those systems become overly taxed, they tend to break down… so this is one of the many ways we can help the body heal itself, which can be more sustaining than trying to fix a problem with drugs or surgery.”

Sunshine on Our Shoulders

Makes Us Happy and Healthy

by Kathleen Barnes

E

ver since skin cancer scares penetrated the national psyche in the mid-1980s, Americans have been conditioned to cover up and slather on sunscreen when we leave the house. Now experts say we haven’t been doing ourselves a favor, even when strictly using all-natural formulas. We’ve been blocking the sun’s life-giving rays, essential for the body’s production of vitamin D, and possibly prompting a host of health problems.

Safe Exposure Update

“Ninety percent of the vitamin D we get comes from the sun, and exposing arms and legs for a few minutes a day is enough for most people with no risk of skin cancer,” says Registered Nurse Sue Penckofer, Ph.D., a professor in the School of Nursing at Chicago’s Loyola University. She’s the lead researcher for the Sunshine 2 Study, a clinical trial investigating the vitamin’s vital role in relieving depression.

“Every tissue and cell of your body requires vitamin D to function properly,” says Michael Holick, Ph.D., a medical doc20

South Jersey Edition

tor who has pioneered vitamin D research at the Boston University Medical Center. A 40-year professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, he’s a fervent advocate of sensible sun exposure.

“Vitamin D is actually a hormone, essential for bone and muscle health. It plays a significant role in reducing the risk of infectious diseases, including cardiovascular problems and certain cancers, contributes to brain function and memory, and elevates mood, all while reducing early mortality,” explains Holick, author of The Vitamin D Solution: A 3-Step Strategy to Cure Our Most Common Health Problem.

Yet, he says, about half of all Americans are among the 1 billion people worldwide that are vitamin D deficient.

Published vitamin D research in the U.S. National Library of Medicine turns up 74,486 studies and citations dating back to 1922, with nearly half done in the past 10 years; 478 of the total were authored or co-authored by Holick or cited his research. His work confirms that sensible sun exposure and supplementing with natural

vitamin D3 brings vitamin D levels to the optimal 40 to 60 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). New research from the University of Surrey, in the UK, found D3 twice as effective in raising vitamin D levels as D2, which is often synthetically produced.

While the human body manufactures

vitamin D as a response to sun exposure, eating certain foods like fatty fish, egg yolks and cheese can help. Fortifying foods with the vitamin is controversial. “It’s interesting that the right sun exposure will correct D deficiency rapidly, but won’t create an excess. Our bodies stop producing the hormone vitamin D once we have enough,” says Dr. Robert Thompson, an obstetrician, gynecologist and nutrition specialist in Anchorage, Alaska, and author of The Calcium Lie II: What Your Doctor Still Doesn’t Know.

Bare Minimum Holick, who differentiates between unhealthy tanning and healthy sun exposure, recommends exposing arms and legs to noonday sun for five to 10 minutes three times a week for most people. He adds, “Everyone needs 1,500 to 2,000 international units of vitamin D3 [supplements] a day year-round, and obese people need two to three times that much, because their ability to manufacture vitamin D is impaired.”

Penckofer’s research confirms that fair-skinned people absorb the sun’s rays easily and quickly, while darker-skinned people have a natural sunblock, so they need much longer sun exposure to absorb the UVB rays that trigger the production of vitamin D. She remarks that inadequate vitamin D is a possible explanation for the greater risk of high blood pressure observed in African-Americans.

Holick contends that anyone living north of Atlanta, Georgia, cannot get enough winter sun exposure to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. “While vitamin D can be stored in the body for up to two months, a winter-induced deficiency is a convincing explanation for the seasonal affective disorder that strikes many in northern states in January, just two months after the weather turns too cold to get sufficient sun exposure,” explains Penckofer.

“In Alaska, we eat lots of fatty fish and

Otherwise, the risk of myopia increases, which in turn lends risk for cataracts and glaucoma in adulthood. ~University of Sydney Adolescent and Eye Study of 2,000 children take D supplements in winter. We know there’s no chance we’re getting the D we need from the sun, even when we’re sunbathing in negative 30 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures,” quips Thompson.

ith air pollution, pesticides that are in our food and chemicals in our products we are accosted with toxins.

As we age, these toxins tend to accumulate in the body, often causing genome destabilization and sometimes a catastrophic breakdown of tissue homeostasis. When it comes to a complete body detoxification, an ionic foot detox seems to be one of the better options, as it produces negative ion generation through the ionization of water in a basin, enabling the body to heal itself.

Reflexology teaches us that our feet are outlets through which the body attempts to cleanse itself of heavy metal and toxic waste that builds up in the body. The Ionic Cleanse Detox Machine is a water foot bath that utilizes steel electrodes to cleanse, balance, and enhance bio-energy for a number of benefits.

According to HealthAndMed.com, benefits of the ionic foot detox system include pain relief as well as improved sleep, digestion, skin suppleness and state of mind. The process also decreases swelling, reduces toxins and speeds up metabolism to reduce weight loss.

At the start of the process, feet are immersed in the clear-water filled basin. The ionizing array is attached to an electrical power supply that delivers a low-level current. This current causes metals within the array to mix with the water and salt to generate both positively and negatively charged ions via the process of separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water. Between five and six minutes into the process, the water will begin to turn yellow, showing that detoxification is occurring through the kidney and bladder area.

About 10 minutes into the process the water begins to turn an orange-brown color, indicating that metallic poisons are leaving through the joints and liver. Depending on age and level of chemical build up, the water could become murky roughly 18 to 20 minutes into the detoxification process. This indicates the body is releasing an accumulation of medication that has been taken over time.

The treatment begins to conclude 27 to 30 minutes after it starts. At this point, the water turns dark green, which means the elimination of poisons from the gall bladder are taking place.

The process of using the Ionic Cleanse Detox Machine allows individuals to actually see the cleansing process happen as the water interacts with the electric current.

Healthful Solutions offers the ionic foot bath at 45 S. Main St., Medford. For more information, call 856-275-1047or visit HealthfulSolutions4U.com. See ad on this page.

The World’s Healthiest Cuisines What Five Countries Can Teach Us about Good Eating

by Judith Fertig

A

mericans love to explore ethnic cuisines and then put their own “more is better” spin on them, like a Chinese stir-fry turned into chop suey with fried rice or a pasta side dish supersized into a whole meal.

“We’ve Americanized dishes to the extent that they don’t have their original health benefits,” says Dr. Daphne Miller, a family physician in the San Francisco Bay area and author of The Jungle Effect: The Healthiest Diets from Around the World—Why They Work and How to Make Them Work for You.

Here are five popular—and healthy— world cuisines, known for their great dishes, star ingredients and health-enhancing practices.

Traditional Japanese

Ingredients. The dietary benefits of green tea, fermented soy and mushrooms like shiitake and maitake are well documented.

South Jersey Edition

Add dried seaweed to this list. Beyond sushi, it’s a delicious ingredient in brothy soups, where it reconstitutes to add a noodle-like quality, slightly smoky flavor and beneficial minerals, including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

A study in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition linked the longevity of Okinawan residents to eating seaweed, a staple of macrobiotic diets. New York City culinary instructor and cookbook author Hiroko Shimbo prefers dried wakame seaweed, readily available in the U.S.

Practices. Shimbo grew up in Tokyo, Japan, where her mother helped her surgeon father’s patients by preparing foods that helped them recover quickly. Shimbo believes wholeheartedly in Ishoku-dogen, a Japanese concept often translated as, “Food is medicine.”

NASouthJersey.com

South Indian

Ingredients. South India—including the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana—offers many plant-based dishes that feature coconut, rice and spices such as turmeric, known for decreasing inflammation, according to the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Varieties of dried split peas called dal [dal is singular and plural] are used in vegetable curries and ground to make the gluten-free savory crepes known as dosa or puffy white idlis for a snack or breakfast.

South India native and current Minneapolis resident Raghavan Iyer, teacher, consultant and author of many cookbooks, including 660 Curries, says, “One technique that gives vegetable dishes a lift is dry-frying or toasting whole spices. It adds complexity and nuttiness.” Simply heat a cast iron skillet, add the whole spices and

Shimbo says, “I eat fairly well, treating food as blessings from nature that keep me healthy and energetic. I do not often indulge in expensive, rich foods.” She prefers eating foods in season and small portions, listening to what her body craves. When feeling the need for minerals and vitamins, she makes a brothy soup with just a little dried wakame, which reconstitutes to four times its dried volume.

A second practice supporting healthy well-being is hara hachi bu, or “Eat until your stomach is 80 percent full.” It requires self-discipline to eat slowly and decline more food. But this restraint supports a widely accepted fact that “It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to receive the message that the stomach is full. If we eat slowly, we get the message at the right time, even if we want a few more bites. If we eat too quickly, by the time our brain sends the message, we have probably eaten too much,” says Shimbo.

One Great Dish: Japanese soups offer nutrition and flavor in a bowl. Shimbo’s Eata-Lot Wakame Sea Vegetable Soup in her cookbook The Japanese Kitchen: 250 Recipes in a Traditional Spirit can be made with chicken or vegetable broth. Other healthy ingredients like sesame oil, fresh ginger, scallions and garlic boost its health benefits.

dry fry until spicy aromas arise; then add them to a dish.

Practice. South Indian meals usually comprise many small, highly flavored, colorful, plant-based dishes served with rice.

They yield a pleasant aroma and sensation of fullness without overdoing it, says Iyer.

One Great Dish: A vegetable/legume curry such as tamata chana dal, or smoky yellow split peas is simple to make.

Iyer cooks dried, yellow, split peas with potatoes and turmeric, then dry-fries dried chilis and spices, and purées them in a blender for a no-fat, vegan and glutenfree dish. In Iyer’s view, “The epitome of comfort food is a bowl of dal and rice.”

Garden-to-Table Italian

Ingredients. There’s American-Italian, as in pizza with pepperoni and double cheese, and then there’s real Italian dishes dating back to the Etruscans. Healthy Italian starts with the love of growing things. Whatever grows in the garden is best, served simply with extra virgin olive oil; a recent Temple University study found it preserves memory and wards off Alzheimer’s.

Eugenia Giobbi Bone, co-author of Italian Family Dining: Recipes, Menus, and Memories of Meals with a Great American Food Family, says, “My palate was formed with the flavors of homegrown foods. Cooking in central Italy is all about bringing out the flavor of a few very fresh, well-grown ingredients. That means primarily seasonal eating, with lots of vegetables and little meat in summer, the opposite in winter. There isn’t a lot of fuss to the culinary style, which instead depends on interesting, but simple combinations of foods and techniques.”

Practice. Italian families’ view of healthful garden-to-table includes the exercise attained from gardening. “We have a good work ethic in our family,” remarks Bone, who lives in New York City and Crawford, Colorado. “We are of the mentality that physical work is satisfying, even when it is hard.”

From her father’s family, Bone has learned to break a meal into small courses and to eat heavier during the day and lighter at night because this helps maintain a healthy weight, according to many studies including one published in the UK journal Diabetologia.

One Great Dish: Dress up pasta with a seasonal vegetable sauce, such as caponata, an eggplant and tomato mixture, or include primavera via spring vegetables and basil, or arrabbiata, featuring tomatoes and red pepper flakes.

Lebanese

Ingredients. “So much about Lebanese cuisine is ‘on trend’ with our tart and sour flavors from lemon, sumac and pomegranate molasses, a wide array of vegetarian and vegan dishes, plus a tradition of pickling, called mouneh, and yogurt and cheesemaking,” says food blogger Maureen Abood, author of Rose Water & Orange Blossoms: Fresh and Classic Recipes from My Lebanese Kitchen.

“Lebanese cuisine is extraordinarily healthy, fitting squarely into the Mediterranean diet.” Abood lives in East Lansing, Michigan, where she loves to use summer cherries and berries in her Lebanese-inspired dishes. According to Abood, another reason why Lebanese food is so popular is that Lebanese immigrants to the U.S. now outnumber the native population of their mother country.

Practice. Gathering to share food is a hallmark of Lebanese hospitality. “The Lebanese style of eating includes maza; many small shared plates of remarkable variety,” says Abood. “Food as medicine” is also a Lebanese practice, according to a study in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

One Great Dish: “Many of my favorite Lebanese dishes are plant-based,” says Abood. “We love to stuff everything from cabbage to summer squash to grape leaves with vegetarian fillings, and cook them in a garlic or tomato broth. Every week, we make and eat mujaddara, a lentil and rice or bulgur pilaf with deeply caramelized onions.” Pair with any Lebanese salad, such as one she makes with sweet cherries and walnuts for “a perfectly healthy and crazy-delicious meal.”

Vietnamese

Ingredients. Vietnamese cooking emphasizes fresh herbs and leafy greens, green papaya, seafood, rice and condiments. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that green or unripe papaya contains more healthy

carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene) than tomatoes or carrots.

Practice. The preferred style of Vietnamese cooking is steaming or simmering, using less fat. It also encourages communal eating, with each diner dipping an ingredient into a cooking pot. Cooked foods are accompanied by fresh salad greens, including herbs served as whole leaves.

One Great Dish: Vietnamese hot pot is a favorite of Andrea Nguyen, whose Vietnamese family emigrated to California.

Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen: Treasured Foodways, Modern Flavors, blogs about food at VietWorldKitchen. com and now lives near San Francisco, California. “This is a slow, cook-it-yourself kind of meal. Set it up, relax with some organic wine or beer and enjoy. Flavors develop and the hot pot transforms as you eat,” she says. “At the end, you’ll slurp up the remaining broth and noodles.” See Tinyurl.com/Viet-ChineseHotPotRecipe.

French Bonus: While croissants and triple-crème brie might not seem part of an ideal diet, rediscover two healthy practices from the French: Eat less and eat together.

Ongoing studies at Cornell University show that we eat less if offered less. When researcher Paul Rozin, Ph.D., a psychology professor with the University of Pennsylvania, compared portions in Paris, France, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Philly portions were 25 percent larger. It’s also reflected in the two countries’ cookbook recipes.

Rozin further found that French diners spent more time eating those smaller portions—perhaps explaining the French paradox: Most French eat rich foods and drink wine, yet don’t get fat.

SPICE UP HEALTHY COOKING Six Seasonings with Surprising Payoffs

by Amber Lanier Nagle

S

pices add a punch of extra flavor to our favorite dishes, but they also possess proven health and wellness properties. From regulating blood sugar to reducing inflammation to helping control appetite, behold the magnificent six.

Garlic (Allium sativum)

“There’s a lot of evidence that suggests garlic supports heart health,” says Rosalee de la Forêt, a clinical herbalist and author of Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies that Heal. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition tracked the blood pressure of 79 patients with uncontrolled hypertension and found that the mean systolic blood pressure of those consuming two 240-milligram capsules of aged garlic extract a day for 12 weeks significantly decreased compared to those taking one capsule or a placebo.

South Jersey Edition

“Garlic may also reduce the duration and severity of colds and flu when taken at the onset of symptoms and each day afterwards,” says de la Forêt, citing a study published in Clinical Nutrition. “I mince a clove and mix it with honey to make it easier to swallow.”

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Dr. Lipi Roy, a clinical assistant professor at the New York University School of Medicine and blogger at SpicesForLifemd. com, considers turmeric the golden spice of life. “In addition to its role in Indian and Asian cuisine, turmeric is used in traditional Indian medicine to treat common ailments like stomach upset, ulcers, flatulence, arthritis, sprains, wounds and skin and eye infections,” she says.

A study published in Oncogene concluded that curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) was a more potent anti-inflam-

NASouthJersey.com

Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)

Used in India for 4,000 years, black pepper may be the most popular spice of our era. “Black pepper can increase the amount of nutrients your body absorbs from other food and spices,” says de la Forêt. A study published in Plant Medica concluded that subjects consuming a small amount (20 milligrams) of an extract of black pepper showed an increase of retained curcumin in their bodies. For maximum benefits, grind whole peppercorns directly onto food at mealtime.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia and Cinnamomum verum)

“One of cinnamon’s super powers is that it may help regulate blood glucose in patients with Type 2 diabetes,” Roy says. In a study published in Diabetic Medicine, subjects taking two grams of cinnamon daily for 12 weeks exhibited much better blood sugar control. Roy suggests sprinkling it on oatmeal, apples, pumpkin pie and brownies.

Roast chicken flavored with cinnamon and other spices is another treat.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

“Ginger is a rhizome people have traditionally used medicinally to help with digestive issues,

Herbs are not spices although the term spice is sometimes used to encompass them all. An herb is the leaf of a plant when used in cooking. Spices can be buds, bark, roots, berries, seeds or any other part of a plant, and are often dried.

including upset stomachs and nausea,” says Karen Kennedy, of Concord, Ohio, a horticulturist and educator at the Herb Society of America.

In a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, researchers concluded that gastric emptying and relief was more rapid after subjects with frequent or severe stomach upsets ingested 1.2 grams of ginger.

Ginger is also linked to increased circulation and reduced inflammation. A study published in Phytotherapy Research noted that this spice also worked in alleviating migraines equal to the pharmaceutical sumatriptan (Imitrex). According to a study in the journal Arthritis, it’s an effective tool in the battle against rheumatoid arthritis.

Ginger adds a zing of healthy flavor to hot teas and stir-fried veggies such as broccoli, green beans, carrots or mushrooms.

Paprika (Capsicum annuum)

A common spice added to Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Indian cuisine, paprika is rich in natural carotenoids (the orangey pigment in many plants with antioxidant power) and capsaicin, both of which may decrease mortality from chronic illnesses.

Another benefit of this capsaicincontaining spice is its ability to control appetite. In research published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, participants that consumed red pepper spice had a slightly higher core temperature and energy expenditure after a meal than the control group.

The study further suggested that those that consumed capsaicin-containing spices like paprika ate fewer calories per day and had less interest in food.

“Paprika is a great salt alternative, too,” says Roy. “Too often, people think they are craving salt, but they aren’t. They are craving flavor, and paprika gives a nice kick to chili, salad, grilled cheese and so many other foods.”

Cook-It-Yourself Ethnic Recipe

Smoky Yellow Split Peas (Tamatar Chana Dal) This vegan and gluten-free recipe traces its roots to Southeast India, where roasting spices to yield nutty-hot flavors creates a layered experience.

Yields: 6 cups

1 cup yellow split peas 1 lb potatoes (Yukon gold or russet), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes ¼ tsp ground turmeric 2 to 4 dried red cayenne chiles (like chile de arbol), stems discarded 1 Tbsp coriander seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 medium-size tomato, cored and diced 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems 1½ tsp coarse kosher or sea salt

Measure the peas into a medium-size saucepan. Cover with water and rinse the grains by rubbing them in-between fingertips. Drain and repeat three to four times until the water, upon rinsing the peas, remains fairly clear.

Measure and pour 4 cups of water into the pan and bring it to a boil over mediumhigh heat. When some foam arises, scoop it out and discard it.

Add the potatoes and turmeric to the peas, stirring once or twice. Lower the heat to

medium-low and cover the pan. Stew the mélange, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, but still firm-looking and the potatoes are cooked, 20 to 25 minutes.

While the peas and potatoes cook, preheat a small skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the pan feels hot (a palm held close to the bottom usually feels the heat within 2 to 4 minutes), sprinkle in the chiles, coriander and cumin.

Toast the spices, shaking the pan very frequently, until the chiles blacken and smell smoky-hot and the seeds turn reddish brown and smell strongly aromatic (nutty with citrus undertones), 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer this spice blend to a blender jar and plunk in the tomato. Purée, scraping the insides of the jar as needed, to make a smooth, reddish brown paste with a smoky aroma.

Once the peas are cooked, scrape the spicy, well-seasoned tomato paste into the pan.

Stir in the cilantro and salt.

Set the heat to medium-high and vigorously boil the dal, uncovered, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to mingle and the sauce to slightly thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. For a thicker sauce, mash some of the peas and potatoes with the back of a spoon. Serve warm.

Fermentation: A Unifying Global Culture

F

ermentation is everywhere.

It’s happening in your stomach and compost pile, at your local brewery and possibly your favorite restaurant. On the surface, fermentation is simply the breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts or myriad other microorganisms. Thousands of years ago, whether intentionally or by random, humans discovered the beneficial properties of fermentation. From food preservation to medicinal treatment to intoxicating beverages, cultures around the world have embraced the microscopic organisms of our world.

Many of us are familiar with some of the more common products of fermentation like sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough bread, and beer or wine. However, there are a number of fascinating fermented foods and beverages out there that haven’t yet entered mainstream American culture.

Kvass is a traditional Slavic ferment-

ed beverage commonly made from rye bread. It is classified as a non-alcoholic drink by Russian standards, as the alcohol content from fermentation is typically low (0.5–1 percent). Kvass may be flavored

relish found in Salvadorian and other Central American cuisines. Usually cabbage, onions, carrots, oregano and sometimes lime juice are combined and briefly fermented. Curtido is frequently paired with pupasas, corn tortillas filled with a savory filling.

age native to Mexico made from the peel and the rind of pineapples and is sweetened with either piloncillo or brown sugar, seasoned with powdered cinnamon, and served cold. Though tepache is fermented for several days, the resulting drink does not contain much alcohol.

In Mexico, tepache is usually sold as a chilled drink by street vendors.

with fruits such as strawberries and raisins, or with herbs such as mint.

Tempeh has been a staple source of

protein in Indonesia for centuries. The fermented soy product is said to have originated from the island of Java, discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew whitish fungi around it. The most traditional preparation of tempeh involves frying and pairing with sambal, a hot sauce or paste made with chili peppers and additional ingredients

FRUGAL FOODIE Practical Uses for Aging Produce

W

by Judith Fertig

hen Jacques Pépin was growing up in France during World War II, he watched his mother use every scrap of food to meet the family’s needs, and then send him to live with a farmer in summer so her growing son could eat fresh from the farm. Today, the internationally renowned PBS-TV chef and cookbook author carries these sensibilities forward at his home and studio in Madison, Connecticut.

“In Europe, and certainly in France, healthy food is much more expensive,” he says. “In America, a chef may have the person that washes dishes also prepare salads.

With lettuce, he’ll cut off the whole top, cut out the heart and throw out the rest.”

U.S. restaurant kitchens mirror home kitchens, where the average family throws away a quarter of the food they buy, wasting an average of $2,200 a year. These scraps mean wasted food and money at home, plus misspent resources to grow and transport the food. According to a report by the National Resource Defense Council, “Getting food to our tables eats up 10 percent of the total U.S. energy budget, uses 50 percent of U.S. land and swallows 80 percent of the fresh water consumed in the United States.”

To save money and also live better, here are just some of many easy ways to use up every bit of fresh produce we buy.

Asparagus Ends

Self-described “frugal foodie” Diana Johnson, of Auburn, Washington, never lets asparagus ends go to waste. With the help of a blender, she turns them into a creamy asparagus soup—minus the cream—that her family loves (Tinyurl.com/AsparagusSoupTips).

Broccoli, Swiss Chard and Spinach Stems

Thrifty cooks know the magic of quick pickles. Recycle the brine from pickles and pack thinly cut stems of broccoli, Swiss chard and mature spinach into the jar until covered with the brine, then seal and refrigerate. In a few days, these quick pickles will be ready for snacking and sandwiches.

Carrot and Beet Tops

Very fine carrot tops can be used like parsley. With a food processor or high-speed blender, transform them into a favorite pesto or salsa verde recipe, suggests Registered

NASouthJersey.com

Freeze what’s left in the bottle in ice cube trays, suggests Anisha Jhaveri, a film writer and wine lover in New York City. It can add flavor to soups and stews, sauces and desserts like wine-poached pears.

Lemon Peels The limonene in lemon peels is a natural cleaner and degreaser, says blogger Jill Nystul, of Salt Lake City, Utah. She makes her own Citrus Vinegar All-Purpose Cleanser by simply packing lemon peels in a jar and topping with vinegar. See how at Tinyurl.com/HomemadeCitrusCleaners.

Vegetable Peels and Trimmings Instead of throwing out onion skins, carrot peels, celery leaves and tough leek stems, collect them in a freezer bag over time and store in the freezer. When enough has accumulated to fill a pot, make homemade vegetable stock, suggests Sonnet Lauberth, a certified holistic health coach, blogger and cookbook author in Seattle (InSonnetsKitchen.com/ how-to-make-perfect-vegetable-stock-for).

At home, Pépin makes “fridge soup” once a week. “Whatever is left in the fridge—carrots, lettuce, a piece of leftover meat or whatever else I made the other day—goes into the soup,” says Pépin. “We finish it with some vermicelli or polenta or good bread.” A delicious meal, shared with family and friends, makes frugality festive.

Judith Fertig writes award-winning cookbooks plus foodie fiction from Overland Park, KS (JudithFertig.com).

Dietitian and nutritionist Madeline Basler, of Long Island, New York. One of her go-to’s is her Earth Day Carrot Top Pesto (Tinyurl. com/CarrotTopPestoRecipe). Beet greens can be sautéed like spinach, in a little extra-virgin olive oil with garlic, as a veggie side.

Nine Tips to Tackle Food Waste at Home

J

onathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (And What We Can Do About It), suggests many ways to curb this habit at, WastedFood.com.

Here are some suggestions from him and others:

Shop smart. Plan meals for the week with a detailed shopping list, suggests Madeline Basler, a certified dietitian nutritionist in Long Island, New York.

2

Save, transform and eat leftovers.

“Eat down the fridge,” counsels Kim O’Donnell, a chef and cookbook author in Portland, Oregon. Turn leftovers into frittata, sandwich fillings, pasta sauces and soups. In this way, we’re not eating quite the same meal again.

3 4 5

Store food in safe, sealable glass containers, so it’s easy to see.

Avoid clutter in the refrigerator and freezer; if we can’t see it, we won’t eat it.

Treat expiration and sell-by dates as just guidelines. There is wiggle room in both, advises Bloom.

6

Donate extra pantry items to food banks and places that provide hot meals for those in need.

7

Preserve the bounty of the garden.

Learn how to make quick pickles, pasta sauces and foods to freeze.

8

Join a food exchange. Emily Paster, cofounder of Chicago Food Swap, helps farmers, foragers, home cooks, gardeners, bakers and canners trade or barter their produce and products.

9

Go social. PDX Food Swap, in Portland, Oregon; BK Swappers, in Brooklyn, New York; and ATX Swappers, in Austin, Texas, combine food exchange events with a potluck.

Fitness in 10 Minutes

A Full-Body Workout for Busy People

by Locke Hughes

W

hen life makes a long workout impossible, a 10-minute, totalbody fitness routine can be super-efficient and effective, if done right.

To maximize results, strategically order the exercises to work different muscles each time, allowing one set of muscles to rest while working another. This is the basis for a 10-step workout that Franklin Antoian, an American Council on Exercise-certified personal trainer and founder of iBodyFit, created for SilverSneakers.

The steps can be part of a regular routine or done on their own three times a week every other day, gradually working up to five days a week. Needed equipment includes a chair, light dumbbells (or filled water bottles or food cans), a yoga block (or small soft ball or pillow) and a watch or timer.

Given extra time, warm up by walking in place for five minutes, and then perform each exercise in order for one minute, doing as many reps as possible. Try not to rest between exercises. If a full minute feels too challenging, start with 45 seconds of exercise and 15 seconds of rest.

2

SHOULDER SHRUG. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold dumbbells with arms down, palms facing inward. Slowly raise shoulders as if trying to touch the earlobes. Pause, and then lower and repeat. Continue for one minute. Make it easier by doing slow and controlled reps without dumbbells.

3

WALL PUSHUPS. Stand at arm’s length away from a wall with feet hip-width apart. Place palms shoulderwidth apart on the wall. Bend elbows and lower the upper body toward the wall, keeping the core tight and straight. Pause, and then press back to the starting position and repeat. Continue for one minute. Make it harder by taking a step back from the wall, pushing out from a kneeling position.

5

HIP EXTENSION. Start on hands and knees with palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Align the neck and back while looking down or slightly forward. With foot flexed and knee bent, slowly raise the right foot toward the ceiling until the thigh is parallel with the floor. Pause, and then lower. Continue for 30 seconds, and then repeat with the left leg. To make it easier, try it while standing, keeping the lifted leg straight, and hold the back of a chair for support.

6

BRIDGE. Lie face-up on the floor with knees bent and feet flat. Press heels firmly and raise hips to form a straight line from shoulders to knees.

Pause for three

SEATED ADDUCTION. Sit in a chair with a yoga block between the knees.

seconds in this position, and then lower and repeat. Continue for one minute.

7

CLAMSHELL. Lie on the floor on the left side, with hips and knees bent 45 degrees, the right leg on top of the left, heels together. Keeping feet together, raise the top knee as high as possible without moving the pelvis or letting the bottom leg leave the floor. Pause, and then return to the starting position.

Continue for 30 seconds; switch sides and repeat.

8

SEATED KNEE RAISE. Sit at the front of the chair with knees bent and feet flat, holding onto the sides for balance.

Keeping the knee bent, lift the right leg about six inches off the floor. Pause for three seconds, and then lower and repeat with the left leg. Continue alternating for one minute.

9

BICEPS CURL. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold dumbbells with arms at each side, palms facing forward.

Keeping the upper arms still, bend both elbows to bring the dumbbells as close to the shoulders as possible. Pause, and then slowly lower and repeat. Each time arms return to the starting position, completely straighten them. Continue for one minute. Make it easier with slow and controlled reps without using dumbbells.

10

TRICEPS EXTENSION. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold the end of one dumbbell with both hands.

Position arms so elbows are pointing up, with upper arms by the ears and the dumbbell behind the head. The neck is aligned with the back; with shoulders down and back. Keeping upper arms still, straighten the elbows until the dumbbell is overhead. Pause, and then slowly lower and repeat. Continue for one minute. Make it easier by sitting in a chair.

Ilona Selke on the

Power of Dreaming Big

by April Thompson

F

or 30 years, international bestselling author, teacher and speaker Ilona Selke has inspired thousands of people worldwide to create a more fulfilling life by discovering the power of their consciousness.

She’s the author of six books, including Dream Big: The Universe is Listening and The Big Secret, co-authored with Jack Canfield. Her Living from Vision course, available in six languages including Chinese, teaches how to use the power of visualization to tap into our highest potential and deepest dreams in order to manifest miracles.

Born in the Himalayas to German parents, Selke spent her first three years in Afghanistan speaking Persian and German, and then grew up in Germany. She moved to the U.S. at age 20 to study philosophy, where she met her husband and partner, Don Paris.

The couple spent 25 years studying and communicating with dolphins in natural waters, experiences shared through her books Wisdom of the Dolphins and Dolphins, Love and Destiny. They split their time between a geodesic dome home on a Northwest Pacific island and the Shambala retreat center they founded in Bali.

What is key to manifesting our dreams and desires?

It’s a four-step process. First, form a clear description in your mind, positively framed and based on your passion. No matter how big the dream, if you are behind it heart and soul, you will manifest miracles. Next, imagine the scenario as if it has already happened. The third and most vital step is to feel the feeling of your fulfilled wish as if it has already manifested.

40

South Jersey Edition

Fourth, create a metaphorical image that represents the feeling.

By applying this method, our clients have manifested a desired pregnancy, funding for an overseas orphanage and redemption of a suicidal teen. In the latter case, the young man went on to focus on his dream of learning jazz piano well enough to play benefit concerts for children being treated for cancer.

Which universal principles are at work behind manifestation?

We live in a conscious, interactive universe, and it is listening. Our Western scientific mindset may not support the idea, but thousands of years of mystical teachings, as well as new understanding via quantum physics, teach that the observer is an intri-

cate part of what appears to be solid matter.

In practice, it means we can communicate intentionally with the universe. When we learn to do so, it responds to us.

How do our thoughts affect our reality?

All our thoughts, subconscious as well as conscious, affect how things manifest around us. If we have contradictory beliefs, it is hard to manifest things. For example, if we say we want money, but somehow believe that money is dirty, evil or undeserved, then we are pushing and pulling against ourselves.

It’s important to dive into our subconscious mind and heart, and deal with the negative feelings that dwell there, such as hurt, sadness and trauma. Make this a daily activity—cleaning your emotional being. Eventually, your subconscious and conscious mind as well as the superconscious will all point in one direction and you will see your desired results. We guide people to build their success, aspirations and dreams in alignment with their deepest values as well as their purpose in life.

Uniting purpose and direction is tremendous fuel for moving in the direction of your dreams.

Why does choosing goals aligned with our purpose make them manifest more easily?

Personal goals and inner purpose are not always aligned for everyone. However, when you take time to become aware of your deepest dreams, you may find that a part of your purpose is embedded in them.

Be aware that many people confuse their larger life purpose with their talents.

Our talents are what we love to do, what we are good at. Yet our deeper purpose actually is to shine more light and share more love. That is the common true root to our purpose.

My suggestion is to read books that share success stories from those that are living on purpose and provide step-by-step instructions on how to get there.

Reclaim Your Magic Make Your World Wondrous Again

by Paige Leigh Reist

W

e are all born with magic, but somewhere along the way, life tends to stomp it out of us. When we are living in our magic, we become curious, passionate and energetic.

We thrive. Here are five ways to begin to reclaim our own special vibrancy.

1

LIVE WITH EARTH’S CYCLES Our planet teaches by example how to live in harmony with the seasons. Rest in the winter, awake to new beginnings in spring and rejoice in summer’s bounty.

Give extra thanks in autumn. Live by and with the land, and watch how goodness magically blooms into being.

2

EXERCISE INTUITION Trusting in our intuition is generally discouraged from a young age. We’re

taught to ignore it in favor of logic, following social scripts and displaying expected behaviors. We’re told whom to look to for answers, definitions of right and wrong and true and false, and that grown-ups always know best.

A powerful way to counteract this conditioning is to come to trust ourselves.

Intuition is like a muscle—the more we use it, the more powerful it becomes. The spiritual “still small voice” won’t lead us astray.

3

COMMUNE Speaking our truth is transformative.

To be heard, validated and supported is a powerful catalyst of personal growth and supports self-worth. Whenever possible, make time to meet with kindred spirits and share personal stories, wisdom and struggles around the proverbial fire.

STOP ACCEPTING THE MUNDANE Let go of anything that does more to limit rather than propel progress. Review media habits, relationships, jobs and character traits, and be ruthless in pruning what needs to go.

Try to interact only with people, activities and things that produce glowing feelings of inspiration, fulfillment and buzzing vitality. Assess habits honestly and choose meaningful substance over comfort, ease and familiarity.

CELEBRATE Spend time thinking about what it is that comprises the essence of oneself and celebrate it—that is where magic lives.

Often, the qualities that carry our magic may have been put down. Sensitivity can be considered weakness. Determination might be termed stubbornness. But if we unabashedly love and celebrate these qualities in ourself, we begin to re-conceptualize them as sources of strength and power, and magic seeps through.

It is a known fact that millions of women after the menopausal transition, undergo changes in their vaginal health and suffer from vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. The changes in vaginal health is due to declining estrogen levels. Current management of these symptoms include Estrogens and Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators. Not all women can take estrogens for symptomatic relief. The MonaLisa Touch therapy is an effective in-office, non-hormornal therapy, with no downtime. Most women have called it life changing. It is similar to the annual pelvic exam.

Many women have reported symptomatic relief after the first treatment. See ad on page 11.
