10 FOODS Better Options Than Opioids THAT ZAP Ways Inflammation toNatural Reduce Pain

July 2018 | South Jersey Edition | NASouthJersey.com

Facing Neck Surgery as Their Last Resort, Two Local Residents Find Success in Sound Wave Treatment.

Herniated Discs. Pinched Nerves. Agonizing Pain.

Two Local Doctors Offer You Hope.

“T

he surgeon told me they were going to cut into my throat from the front and around my voice box to get to the herniated discs to relieve my neck pain,” Renee Mattio remembers.

After suffering with constant pain for nearly a year, she considered neck surgery as her only last resort. The operation was designed to relieve pinched nerves caused by a rear-end collision on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge that herniated the fourth and fifth discs in her neck.

“They asked me to sign a waiver that basically said, if I die, it’s not their fault,” she adds. ”This was the basic waiver everyone signs for surgery, but it was more about the voicebox impact that scared me. It was a turning point for me.” But, Renee seemed out of options, saying “I can’t live with this pain any longer!”

For a solid year after the collision, she tried a range of treatments to relieve the constant, excruciating pain that affected every aspect of her life. Physical therapy, pain medications and steroid

A Real Pain In The Neck To Men As Well

prescriptions and injections provided little to no relief.

“The injections felt like they were inserting a sword down my back under the skin,” she says. “They were only a band-aid for the pain and inflammation, and I ballooned up to 170 pounds from 125 from taking the prescribed steroids.”

Unfortunately, Renee isn’t alone in suffering chronic neck and radiating arm pain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 60 percent of people in the general population suffer from varying degrees of neck pain. The prevalence of neck pain peaks at middle age, and women are more often affected than men.

One of those men is Kevin Whalin. Like Renee Mattio, he had serious, agonizing neck and arm pain that extended down to his left elbow and hand. Over a two-year period that Kevin calls his “neck-pain journey,” he had MRIs, Cat Scans and sought help from his primary care physician, physical therapists and pain management doctors.

He had two epidurals, which are injections of anesthesia into the spine, but nothing provided lasting relief, so he finally agreed to consult with a neurosurgeon.

The surgeon recommended a procedure that would insert a steel plate between Kevin’s fifth and sixth herniated discs to spread them apart, relieve the pinched nerves and “hopefully” alleviate his pain.

“The surgeon said it would be a 50-50 chance to take away my pain,” Kevin says. He initially agreed so the surgeon booked the operation in a month’s time. Kevin was dreading the date, as he really didn’t want to take the risk of having surgery. “I was told that

I would be out of work for at least six weeks recovering, something that I just couldn’t see happening, but what other options did I have?” he asks.

Kevin had used traditional chiropractic treatments in the past, but he didn’t want his neck cracked and twisted like that now. Oftentimes, when people are having difficulty finding a cure for what ails them, friends and relatives offer advice and recommendations.

This, too, was the case with Kevin and Renee.

Renee was about to resign herself to suffering in pain for the rest of her life when her mother-in-law told her about a unique, non-invasive treatment that helped relieve her pain after she had two back surgeries.

Kevin’s brother told him about a truck driver who had the same treatment, also with great success.

The Sound of Success It’s Percussion Sound Wave treatment. A revolutionary, painless adjustment that provides lasting relief from acute and chronic pain. The treatment is very precise. If it’s determined that there is a misalignment causing your current condition, highly specific x-rays of the upper cervical (neck) spine are taken to measure misalignments down to 1/100th of a degree. A computer analysis of these x-rays provides the most accurate assessment of the

Dr. John Sandoz spinal misalignment.

Gentle percussion sound waves ease the spine back into place and restore body balance, thus relieving pain. There is no manual manipulation, no twisting or cracking of the neck.

The headquarters for this treatment is in Mount Laurel

at the Sandoz Chiropractic Center, led by Dr. John and Dr. Joshua Sandoz. They treated both Renee and Kevin with the percussion sound wave treatment.

“All I can tell you is that it works,” Kevin says. “I went twice a week for three weeks.

Remember, I had only a month

Dr. Joshua Sandoz

before my surgery date. After the treatments, I have no pain whatsoever. If sharing my story helps one person, it’s worth it.”

Renee also experienced a miraculous outcome. Dr. Sandoz took x-rays of her head and neck, calculated the misalignment and then consulted with Renee about his findings and how he was going to treat her. In addition to the sound wave treatment, Dr. Sandoz performed laser therapy to further reduce inflammation and pain, and promote faster healing to Renee’s nerve pain.

“It’s incredible,” she says. “I have no pain, no stiffness. Dr. Sandoz says he’s not a miracle worker, but he walks on water as far as I’m concerned.”

Dr. Sandoz says, “If neck pain isn’t treated effectively, it can affect other joints in the body as it did in Renee’s and Kevin’s. The body starts to compensate, making things worse. That can lead to a multitude of structural joint problems in other regions of the body.”

For neck pain sufferers who believe they have tried every option, find out if this sound wave treatment can save you as it saved Renee and Kevin from lifetimes of pain.

What’s HOT and COLD at ICAM? Two things are super-hot and super cold at ICAM right now: HOCATT and CRYOSKIN 2.0 Therapies.

Let’s start with the HOT. HOCATT – an acronym for Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology!! This is one of the finest technologies in health and wellness and its right at your fingertips here at ICAM. Ozone, Steam, FIR, Aromatherapy and Electrotherapy in the HOCATT provides a multitude of health and healing benefits for everyone. Transdermal Ozone provides the greatest and fastest form of detoxing available. The benefits of the HOCATT are endless. Feel, look and be great on the inside and out! The HOCATT has powerful anti-aging, detox, healing, and wellness benefits. So, what is it? How does it work?

The HOCATT is a 30 minute, single unit ozone steam sauna that you comfortably sit inside of on an adjustable seat and the chamber doors close to cover the body while your head remains outside of the chamber. A neck drape ensures the retention of the steam and ozone to stay inside the chamber. A nasal cannula is placed around the neck to provide pure humified

oxygen with a touch of aromatherapy to give you a calming, healing, and relaxing experience during your treatment. You may listen to music, watch TV or just relax in silence while HOCATT takes care of everything else. It’s like being at the spa!

For more detailed information about the HOCATT, please go to our website www.icamnj.com.

Now onto the COLD!!

What’s freezing at ICAM…. Your fat cells!

How are we doing this? With CRYOSKIN 2.0 technology - a form of cryotherapy.

We are literally freezing away fat cells and slimming our bodies and just in time for summer!! Do you have a couple inches you want to lose or a specific problem area you want to work on? Would you like to be a little more toned in that bathing suit? Maybe some slimming and toning of the abdomen, back, thighs, arms, buttocks, face and chin. A typical treatment is about 12-28 minutes. Treat yourself to a pleasurable toning facial and take years off your skin, increase collagen production, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles with this non-surgical, non-invasive, painless technology. Freeze and eliminate fat cells

away with Cryoskin that is powered by cryolipolysis – a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells by freezing within the temperature range of +5 to -5 degrees Celsius. This cryotherapy causes apoptosis or cell death of subcutaneous fat tissues.

Cryoskin is a new French technology that is very safe, and non-invasive. Patients see and feel results immediately! You will literally see the inches disappear after the treatment. Research has shown a 38% fat reduction in treated areas. So come get your “CRYO” on at ICAM. For more detailed information please go to our website at www.icamnj.com.

Both of these therapies have brought ICAM to yet another level of HealthCare and when combined with our other services and therapies, give a new meaning to “Wellness”. In the past four weeks we have already provided these two services to over one hundred patients and counting.

Hope to see you soon, yours in Health and Wellness, MARK J. BARTISS, MD

HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY PLANET

T

he Earth’s coasts and coral reefs are under siege as highlighted in this month’s Wise Words story. Like many other natural resources, the reefs are vital to our ecosystem and we need them to be healthy.

Pollution, dredging and overfishing are the major contributors and chemical sunscreens are a part of the equation. So, we can add the essential summer product to our “organic, natural and green” list.

Michelle Vacanti, Publisher

Safer sunscreens are increasingly available.

Seek out fewer ingredients and avoid those that contain oxybensone, octinoxate and parabens. Let’s all do our part!

In addition, we start your summer off with numerous local features. We profile a local green artist, highlight must-look-for features in CBD oil, provide advanced natural techniques for stress relief and more. I hope you enjoy it all, pool or beachside, taking in some vitamin D.

Happy Birthday USA!

With so many companies selling essential oils, are you confused????

How to Choose Essential Oils

“We take the stewardship of our planet seriously. Our State of the Art production process brings you the purest (essential) oils on Earth.

We call it Seed To Seal®. It’s not a slogan — it’s our Calling.”

(By the Founder of YOUNG LIVING™ ESSENTIAL OILS)

Fast Track to Health Opens Second Location

Y

OUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS — established over 20 years ago—laid the foundation for the company’s total commitment to using the purist seed, sustainable cultivation, optimum distillation, extensive testing of each batch of oils, and quality control inspection of each bottle to assure the purest, most potent essential oils available in the world. (SeedToSeal.com)

F

ast Track to Health has announced the opening of their second location at 151 Fries Mill Road in Turnersville.

A full-service wellness center, Fast Track to Health has been operating in Somers Point for the past five years. They proudly offer community and private acupuncture using a trigger point—or “dry-needling” technique—for fast pain relief. Their main practitioner, Stephanie Iannarone, is a board-certified, licensed acupuncturist, functional medicine practitioner and nutritionist, and works at both of their locations.

Licensed acupuncturist Jeanette Short and certified holistic health coach Donna Rokelmann have recently been added to the team at their shore location.

In addition to acupuncture, Fast Track also offers nutrition services, health coaching and massages. They stock a wide variety of natural products, CBD oil and whole food supplements. The new location will also feature an infrared sauna and an ion cleanse foot bath. Both locations accept certain insurance plans.

Today, YOUNG LIVING’S Vision has grown into a world wide, essentialoil trend, and the trend is fueled by the consumer’s strong desire to bypass toxin-laden, synthetic scents used in many products.

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.

Y

OUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS set the standard for authenticity 20 years ago, and that same high standard is still our “Calling” today — via our strict, Seed To Seal requirements used on all our company-owned farms and distilleries (in Utah; Idaho; France; Ecuador; British Columbia; Croatia; Israel, Taiwan) as well as on our Certified Partner-farms around the world. YOUNG LIVING also Partners with local Frankincense Harvesters in Oman to obtain our exclusive Sacred Frankincense Resin (from centuries-old Frankincense trees).

SunGlow Chakras Celebrates the Summer Solstice

S

unGlow Chakras will celebrate the recent summer solstice and the warm summer months still ahead with their exclusive summer solstice necklace.

The summer solstice occurred on June 21, the first day of summer, when the earth’s rotational axis was maximally tilted toward the sun. With the sun reaching its highest point in the sky, the summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Also known as “midsummer” by centuries of farmers who have already planted their crops in the spring, homages to the summer solstice and the life-giving powers of the sun have been practiced through millennia. Ancient civilizations have all left symbols of their reverence for and celebration of the sun. A time to honor the Earth’s cycle, the power of the sun, and the gifts we receive from the cycle of nature, many cultures celebrate the summer solstice in many different ways.

Individually, the 21st was a day to not only physically awaken with the sunrise, but also to awaken ones introspection, spirit, creativity and passions. It was a time to reflect on our own inner power and potential with the warmth of the coming summer months being a gift of sunshine and new energies. It reminds us that we are part of the cycle of life, helping us to honor the wonder of the sun and our amazing world.

Documentary Film Tells The Story of Homeopathy in Moorestown

T

he National Center for Homeopathy invites you to join them at the Moorestown Mall Stadium 12 Theater at 7:30 p.m. on July 25 for the viewing of Just One Drop, a documentary directed by Laurel Chiten.

The film explores the controversy of homeopathy, a form of medicine that has existed for over 200 years and is used by millions worldwide. Homeopathy is a specific form of medicine that uses minute doses of a highly diluted substance that stimulates the body to cure itself.

Just one Drop explores the claims for and against homeopathy as well as the myths and misconceptions surrounding its use. It will inspire audience members, both advocates and skeptics, to ask questions and have an open discussion about this system of medicine. The documentary challenges the current mindset of modern medicine and could radically change how one views illness, health and healing.

After the film is done, guests are invited to partake in a question and answer session with a panel of experts in the homeopathy field, including director Chiten.

Due to the limited number of seats, tickets must be purchased by July 1. Cost: $13.04. Location: 400 Rte. 38, Moorestown, NJ. To purchase tickets, visit Gathr.us/s/23636. For more information, visit JustOneDropFilm.com.

Family Skin Care Offers Safe Sunscreen

W

hen deciding on the right sunscreen, it is crucial to read the label and be properly informed to fully understand the different varieties of sunscreen ingredients. It is not a secret that chemical sunscreens cause skin irritations, healthy hazards and allergies in many people.

Chemical-free sunscreens should only contain zinc oxide (ZnO) and/or titanium oxide (TiO2), and should be free of oxybenzone, avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octinoxate and octisalate, which are all irritating to the skin and cause unnecessary harm to both the human body and our environment.

It is also important to note that “water resistant” does not mean waterproof. No sunscreens are waterproof or sweatproof. The bottle should specify whether it will last 40 or 60 minutes while swimming or sweating.

Make sure that the sunscreen you choose has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, and that you re-apply it every hour.

Dr. Anamaria Newport of The Family Skin Care Center has created a sunscreen that safely promotes skin photoprotection and active rejuvenation. The main and only active ingredient in Newport’s formula is created with a pure zinc oxide mineral barrier and is complimented with natural green tea. The formula is further enhanced with the powerful antioxidant of Resveratrol, which is naturally found in the skin of red grapes. Unlike other zinc oxide-based products, their organic, scentless, non-greasy formula goes on clear with a weightless, residue-free finish, all in a convenient spray bottle.

All patients receive a complimentary medical consultation toward cosmetics and laser devices, free of cost.

Researchers from Thailand had 64 people suffering from hay fever (allergic rhinitis) experience half-hour steam baths three times a week for four weeks. Half received baths without herbs; the other half’s baths were enhanced with herbs such as lemongrass and ginger. The two treatments equally lowered symptoms such as sneezing, nasal itching and nasal congestion, but those taking the herbal baths reported greater satisfaction with their treatment.

Eating Apples and Tomatoes Repairs Lungs Eating lots of fresh tomatoes and fruit, especially apples, helps heal damaged lungs of ex-smokers, reports Johns Hopkins University research published in the European Respiratory Journal. The study, which followed more than 650 people between 2002 and 2012, also found that those that ate more than two tomatoes or more than three portions of fresh fruit daily experienced markedly less of the natural decline of lung function that typically occurs after age 30.

It is known that about 70 percent of the human body is made up of water and when that water runs low, your body sends signals to let you know. Many times, these signals come in the form of pain.

Dr. Howard Murad, M.D., founder of the Inclusive Health movement, believes many people don’t make the connection that the pain is being caused by a form of dehydration. According to Murad, the link between dehydration and pain may seem abstract at first. As we lose water from connective tissues due to aging, poor diet and lifestyle choices, we are prone to more physical injuries, which lead to inflammation. Pain can be caused by dehydration because the inflammation accumulates in order to repair the damage.

One way to tell if your body is dehydrated is to take a look at the color of your urine. A hydrated body will produce a light yellow, almost clear color urine, whereas a dehydrated body will produce a dark yellow or orange color urine. The bottom line in optimal hydration levels are key to a healthy body. If you want to avoid chronic pain, focus on proper hydration in building our cellular health.

Kangen Water, an antioxidant-rich, healthy water that revitalizes cells, is a healthy alternative to both tap and bottled water, and can help you stay properly hydrated.

According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, three of the world’s largest meat producers, JBS, Cargill and Tyson, emitted more greenhouse gas last year than all of France and nearly as much as the biggest oil companies, such as Exxon, British Petroleum and Shell.

Carbon dioxide emissions from raising farmed animals make up about 15 percent of global human-induced emissions, with the biggest offenders being beef and milk production.

The nonprofit environmental organization EcoWatch claims that a pound of beef requires 13 percent more fossil fuel and 15 times more water to produce than a pound of soy. It notes, “There is no such thing as sustainable meat, and plant-based alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs take a mere fraction of the resources to produce as their animal-based counterparts.”

A vegan diet is not just good for the planet, either; it also spares animals misery at factory farms. “Pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals suffer horribly. These innocent animals face unthinkable horrors: cruel caged confinement, brutal mutilations and bloody, merciless deaths,” says Joe Loria, communications and content manager at the humanitarian group Mercy for Animals.

Scientists Help Repropagate Vanishing Reefs

Warming seawater and increasing ocean acidity are damaging reef ecosystems around the world, and some scientists and environmentalists fear a worldwide collapse by 2050. Coral reefs are colonies of millions of tiny animals. In a single night, the corals join in casting a fog of sperm and eggs into the water to either fertilize and make baby coral larvae or settle back onto the reef, fostering growth.

Dirk Petersen, Ph.D., founder and executive director of Sexual Coral Reproduction, in Hilliard, Ohio, gathers sperm and eggs from corals, fertilizes them in a lab and returns the baby corals to the wild. “A bunch of us coral reef managers were just so sick of just watching things die,” says Laurie Raymundo, a biologist at the University of Guam. This kind of in vitro fertilization provides at least a glimmer of hope for the future.

In a win for the health of the world’s oceans, McDonald’s says it will end the use of harmful polystyrene foam packaging globally by year’s end. Rarely recycled, the material used in beverage cups and takeout containers is a frequent component of beach litter, degrading into indigestible pellets that marine animals mistake for food, resulting in injury or death. The company says, “The environmental impact of our packaging is a top priority.” The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that styrene, used in the production of polystyrene, is also a possible human carcinogen.

Dunkin’ Donuts is also phasing out its polystyrene foam cups in favor of paper cups.

A planned worldwide project completion by 2020 will prevent nearly 1 billion foam cups from entering the waste stream each year. Customers may still opt for the restaurant’s mugs or bring their own thermos.

The foam cups will be replaced with doublewalled paper cups made with paperboard certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative standards.

n December 16, 2017, the Department of Defense (DOD) broke its long-held silence on the UFO issue and released three videos of separate incidents in which Navy jets chased UFOs off the East and West coasts of the United States.

The chases of the unidentified flying objects are seen from inside the cockpits of Navy F/A-18F Super Hornets, cameras locked on the wingless objects while pilots discuss what they’re seeing. Two of the short videos were recorded in 2004 from USS Nimitz jets flying off the West Coast of the United States, while the third video was recorded in 2015 off the East Coast.

“The government’s recent disclosure is red-hot, fresh-off-the-presses information that once and for all verifies what many people have long-suspected: UFOs are in our skies!” exclaims New York UFO expert Joseph Flammer, an author of books about the unidentified flying object phenomenon and noted field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

Flammer continues, “From these videos, which come complete with pilot discussions and indisputable chain of custody trackability, we now have official confirmation that unidentified aerial phe-

NASouthJersey.com

nomena are regularly tracked in our skies by the military.”

In April, all three videos were presented at a gathering of Main Line MUFON UFO enthusiasts in Strafford, Pennsylvania. Each of the videos is clear and shows oblong objects “locked-on” by Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared cameras, the most advanced technology available to the Navy.

“These objects have no familiar signatures, such as sound or heat or smoke trails, and no familiar flight surfaces, like wings, fins or tails. They are not shaped like airplanes and do not move like them either,” observes Flammer. “They are shaped like Tic Tacs and can move at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 or better. That’s 4,000 miles per hour. So, what are they?”

This historic disclosure of F/A-18s pursuing unidentified flying objects—a real phenomenon bearing no conventional likenesses to known aircraft and eluding the fighter jets—coincided with the release of a New York Times article announcing the U.S. government had quietly studied UFOs for five years, 2007-2012, at a cost of $22 million, but dropped the program because of a lack of benefits for the money spent.

A Quiet Operation

While the government has openly studied UFOs in the past, in recent years such studies were thought to be top secret, and the Pentagon denied their existence completely.

Ironically, the 2007-2012 program was not “top secret” but quietly operated out of the Pentagon under a project titled Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program. The program was headed by Luis Elizondo, who continued to study UFOs even after the program ended. Although official funding had stopped, the need for study was clear since reports of chases and sightings continued to land on his desk while he worked at a different position within the DOD. Last year, he resigned from the agency, citing lack of support for UFO study as one reason for his departure.

Experts speak in New Jersey

While Elizondo is clearly at the center of the recent whirlwind of breaking news about the government’s disclosure of UFOs, a host of respected speakers will join him in presenting at the upcoming 2018 MUFON Symposium in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

In The Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan notes, “I am often asked, ‘Do you believe in UFOs?’ I’m always struck by how the question is phrased, the suggestion that this is a matter of belief and not evidence.

I’m almost never asked, ‘How good is the evidence that UFOs are alien spaceships?’”

“That’s what we at MUFON do,” explains researcher Cheryl Costa. “We gather and review evidence from around the world searching for the most credible.”

The 2018 MUFON Symposium will be held at the Crowne Plaza, 2349 W. Marlton Pike, in Cherry Hill, NJ, on July 27-29. The annual, ticketed event features speakers, lectures, panel discussions, film screenings and classes, as well as a special day of free events.

Life-Giving Foods for Giving Life

by Kimberly Spair

S

o many of the powerful life-changing foods that exist on Earth to nourish and heal our bodies are also, literally, life-giving foods. We know, from Anthony William, author of Medical Medium LifeChanging Foods, that we must “eat fruit to produce fruit,” but did you know that the life-giving qualities of Mother Nature’s bounty should be front and center for the actual birthing process as well? Yes! Put down the ice chips and pick up some wild blueberries, honey and dates.

During my beautiful daughter’s birth last November, I had an arsenal of these supportive foods in my birthing tool kit.

Each one provided me a different type and level of support depending on where my body, mind and spirit were throughout the long 48-hour process. Based on information from William, these are some of the foods I incorporated during labor, and why:

Dates:

n The high potassium and fruit sugar content is perfect for refueling the brain and muscles, which rely on glucose to power us through. n The amino acids in dates, such as leucine, help elevate the fruit’s potassium to its highest potential in sustaining and fortifying muscles and nerves. This process also stops lactic acid from taking over the body when it’s under stress.

Isn’t it incredible that dates also teach us to shift from selfishness to selflessness? How perfect is that for the birthing process!

Wild Blueberries:

n When you eat these berries, their innate intelligence reads your body… monitors your stress and toxicity levels, and figures out the best way to heal you—it 22

South Jersey Edition

n Coconut water provides vital glucose and critical mineral salts, including potassium and sodium, to the bloodstream. n Coconut water’s trace minerals and electrolytes nourish your reproductive tissue.

Raw Honey:

Kimberly Spair is the only food that does that. n Wild blueberries have more inspiration to offer us than even the best motivational speakers on the planet. n Wild blueberries are the sole food on the planet to contain the full power of the divine, the Holy Source, the universe, and they are revered by the angels as the key to keeping the human race alive in the coming times.

Who doesn’t want that power inside you when bringing a new human being into the world? I sipped on wild-blueberry smoothies made with wild-blueberry powder (Vimergy.com)

Coconut Water:

This was my go-to liquid throughout for both hydration and energy. First of all, William teaches us that coconuts supercharge all other foods you eat with them, so that brought even more power to my dates and wild blueberries. Yet, there was even further benefit:

NASouthJersey.com

At the end of the labor process, I had raw honey by spoon every few minutes. Its highly absorbable glucose and more than 200,000 photochemical compounds refueled me and allowed my body the energy to literally continue pushing through the long labor process.

Also, how beautiful it is to take in a miracle food while our bodies are performing the ultimate miracle of giving birth.

If you feel out of touch with miracles, then reacquaint yourself with honey. Unprocessed honey in its raw, living form is nothing less than a miracle from God and the Earth.

There are other foods to consider too, such as avocados, “the mother fruit”, and Atlantic sea vegetables, which ground us and deliver 50 health-promoting, ultra-bioavailable minerals, while creating electrolytes for stress assistance. These foods are all truly gifts from God as we are bringing the ultimate gift into world.

Here is a further glimpse into my birth story, from my doula’s perspective.

In the next few blogs, I will share more about the supplements and other “props” that played a key role in my labor process.

I can honestly say that living a Medical Medium lifestyle has not only changed my life in untold ways, it has given our family miraculous new life—a beautiful baby daughter and sister, Braelyn Mae.

Anti-Inflammatory

Flavorful Ways to Lower Disease Risk

by Judith Fertig

A

ny time our bodies sense an “invader”—a microbe, virus, plant pollen or unwelcome chemical— they go into high alert, producing white blood cells to fight it off. Once the danger has been thwarted, normal functioning returns.

If we continue to expose ourselves to these threats, then the high-alert process, known as inflammation, becomes chronic.

This disturbance of natural equilibrium can lead to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, depression and pain. It can also mask or worsen autoimmune diseases. Eating foods with natural anti-inflammatory properties can help the body function better.

“Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects,” says Dr. Frank Hu, also a Ph.D. and professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “A healthy diet is beneficial not only for reducing the risk

of chronic diseases, but also for improving mood and overall quality of life.”

Hu, Josh Axe, a chiropractor and doctor of natural medicine, in Nashville, Tennessee, and Dr. Andrew Weil, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, promote anti-inflammatory foods, backed by recent studies, on their websites.

“Small, gradual changes are typically more sustainable and easier for the body to adapt to,” writes Axe. “So rather than emptying your pantry and sailing off to the Mediterranean, you can pursue an anti-inflammatory diet one step at a time.”

That’s what Andrea Adams Britt did.

A professional wedding cake baker from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Britt experienced bewildering symptoms, including digestion issues, depression, migraines, weight gain and skin irritation. In 2015, she eliminated flour and sugar from her diet, and then added more organic leafy green vegetables, coconut oil and wild-caught salmon. Her symptoms went away one at a time, and by

Inflammation Food Fixes

1

Green leafy vegetables such as Swiss chard contain natural anti-inflammatories such as vitamins K, D and C, says Axe.

2

Beets have a natural antioxidant, betalain, an anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits the activity of enzymes the body uses to trigger inflammation, advises Axe.

3

Sea buckthorn berry juice (known as olivello juice) is one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamin C, says Weil.

4

Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory food that also helps reduce intestinal gas and prevent nausea, advises Weil.

5

Green tea is best enjoyed hot with a little squeeze of lemon; it may reduce cholesterol levels, ultimately assisting in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, per Weil.

6

Virgin coconut oil has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, according to a study published in Pharmaceutical Biology. Britt eats a total of one-and-a-half tablespoons a day in hot drinks, salads or soups.

7

Tomatoes are an easy-to-use and a tasty anti-inflammatory food, says Axe. He notes, “They are a rich source of lycopene, betacarotene, folate, potassium, vitamin C, flavonoids and vitamin E.”

8

Bok choy has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, as well as a higher concentration of betacarotene and vitamin A, than any other variety of cabbage, according to Weil.

9

Black cod, also known as butterfish or sablefish, has even more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, notes Weil.

10

Walnuts, rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, help protect against metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, says Axe. Judith Fertig writes award-winning cookbooks plus foodie fiction from Overland Park, KS (JudithFertig.com).

last January, she had also lost 100 pounds.

The solution for her was to create flavorful dishes that she enjoyed eating, so she did not feel deprived.

Weil advises, “The best foods are those that offer disease-preventive benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects and delectable flavor. When I eat such foods, I feel as though I’ve hit a grand slam homerun— the sensory pleasure is heightened by the fact that each bite contributes to my overall

well-being.”

Reducing inflammation in her body has also led to better mental and emotional health for Britt. “I am a happier person,” Britt says. “I can control my emotions, focus my thoughts and am more at peace.”

Fighting Inflammation Through Fermentation Inflammation in the body plays an important role by letting us know something isn’t right. When you get the flu, your body responds with inflammation in the form of a fever that helps you heal. However, chronic, low-grade inflammation can lead to disease, illness and premature aging. There are a number of uncomfortable side effects linked to inflammation, such as headaches, skin issues, weight gain, joint pain or several other issues.

As more research has been conducted in this area, it’s been found that a healthy gut can help alleviate a number of these associated issues. Fermented and cultured foods are a great way to bring back the balance of microflora required in your gut to combat symptoms of chronic, low-grade inflammation. If you’re new to the idea of fermentation, there are many different options that are very easy to make at home.

Perhaps the best source of the beneficial bacteria is fermented vegetables. Nearly any vegetable can be fermented, but it’s recommended to choose heartier varieties like peppers, green beans, cauliflower and various root vegetables to name a few. If you would rather “hide” these probiotics in a morning smoothie, consider making water kefir or milk kefir. Both are excellent sources of the beneficial probiotic bacteria and can be flavored however you like.

Not all CBD Oil is Created Equal

by Allyson Hang

T

oday, CBD oil is one of the most talked about health products due to the amazing therapeutic benefits people are achieving from using it, but how do you know which ones are good?

What is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol and is the main substance found in the hemp plant. It’s non-psychoactive cannabis compound doesn’t give users the feeling that they are “high” or “stoned”. Instead, it’s known to have therapeutic and medicinal qualities. It’s made up of two parts: hemp and marijuana. The hemp plant has a very high CBD content, with very low THC while the marijuana plant has very high THC levels, with very low CBD. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is associated with psychoactive effects from use of marijuana.

CBD has the same benefits as THC, but without the “high” feeling. It’s 100 percent legal and safe for all ages, including pets.

What are the benefits?

Our bodies have an endocannobinoid system and we were born to receive this phytonutrient through our own CBD receptors. When they are stimulated, they go into the nucleus of the cell and tell the cell what to do, bringing our body back to homeostasis. Our bodies naturally produce our own cannabinoids. There are 70-plus medical conditions that benefit with the use of CBD oil, including inflammation, improved sleep and stress.

What should I look for when choosing a good CBD oil?

POTENCY: You’ll see a wide range

of products offered based on the milligram content. A good rule of thumb is: the higher the milligram, the higher the potency level. For example, a good-quality 1,500 milligram (mg) bottle may contain 750 mg from full-spectrum CBD extract, and 750 mg from pure CBD isolate.

QUALITY: If the manufacturer doesn’t provide lab testing results, they are not being fully transparent. Many brands have been found to either have zero amounts, or no CBD at all, and/or they contain THC greater than the legal limit. The legal limit is 0.3 percent and if claims are made that there is zero THC in their products, it’s inaccurate because there will always be a residual or trace amount of it found as it’s natural-occurring from the plant. When it comes to quality, organic is preferred so there’s no toxic herbicides, or chemicals, sprayed on it.

SOURCE: Many brands obtain theirs from China, India or elsewhere. The brand that I use is organically grown in the USA from Colorado and Kentucky.

EXTRACTION METHOD: The process in which the CBD is extracted from the plant is critical as some methods can be dangerous. CO2 method uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and extremely low temperatures to isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the medicinal oil. This process requires expensive equipment and a steep operational learning curve. Yet, when done well the end product is safe, potent and free of chlorophyll.

CARRIER OIL: Many brands use olive, coconut, Moroccan, or even canola, which are “filler” oils, so it’s best to look for ones that use organic hemp oil.

APPLICATION: There are many different applications (i.e., topical, vaporizers, edibles, etc.) available today. However, sublingual spray is optimal. Why? Studies show that using oral sprays is the fastest and most potent way to receive certain herbal extracts. According to the Physicians’ Desk Reference, sublingual sprays work up to five times faster and are more effective because the active ingredients are absorbed by the soft tissues under the tongue and quickly diffuse into the blood.

Natural Ways to Reduce Pain

C

by Kathleen Barnes

hronic pain affects 100 million Americans, with annual treatment costs reaching $635 billion, according to the Institute of Medicine.

Worse, opiate-derived pain medications, conventional medicine’s go-to treatment for chronic pain, are addictive and deadly.

The Annals of Internal Medicine reports that an estimated 2 million Americans suffered from opioid use disorder involving prescription drugs as of 2016 while 12 million admitted to misusing them. Legal and illegal opioids killed 64,070 Americans in 2016, 21 percent more than the previous year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some opioid addiction stems from use of illegal recreational drugs like heroin and cocaine, but the National Institute of Drug Abuse testified to the U.S. Senate that as of 2014 more than four times as many Americans were addicted to prescription opioids (2.1 million) than heroin (467,000).

Natural approaches, less harmful in relieving pain and thereby preventing drug addictions, are addressing and ameliorating long-term back or neck, nerve and 28

even cancer pain, and saving lives.

The first step in preventing dependency is to avoid opioids completely, says Fadel Zeidan, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina: “Opioids don’t work for chronic pain.

They may be effective for acute pain, such as right after an injury or surgery, but they are ineffective and addictive in the long run.”

Here are several better ways to feel better.

Mindfulness meditation: Zeidan recommends mindfulness meditation and cites a University of Massachusetts study of people with chronic pain in which pain lessened by at least 65 percent after 10 weeks of this practice.

“Mindfulness meditation is about discipline and regulating one’s attention.

It appears to shut down the thalamus, the brain’s gatekeeper, and the brain’s ability to register pain,” explains Zeidan.

Yoga: Strongly positive effects have been reported in several studies, including one on 150 veterans with chronic low back pain from the Veterans Administration San

NASouthJersey.com

Marijuana: All forms of marijuana, or cannabis, are illegal on the federal level, but medical marijuana is now legal in 29 states and the District of Columbia. In a study from San Francisco General Hospital published in the journal Neurology, researchers found that smoking the first cannabis cigarette reduced pain by 72 percent in a group of patients with painful neuropathy. The body’s endocannabinoid system, found in the brain, organs, connective tissues and immune cells, is one of its natural pain-coping mechanisms, and is most affected by cannabis.

BETTER OPTIONS THAN OPIOIDS

Acupuncture: The ancient Chinese modality that’s been used to treat all types of pain for millennia has become such a mainstream treatment that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that healthcare providers learn more about it to help patients avoid prescription opioids.

“All pain starts with imbalance,” says Terri Evans, a doctor of Oriental medicine in Naples, Florida. “Acupuncture is about creating balance in the body and in releasing the fascia, where pain patterns get locked.”

Diego Healthcare System. It showed that 12 weeks of yoga classes reduced pain and opioid use, and improved functionality of participants; many of them had suffered back pain for more than 15 years.

healing ways

Let the Sunshine In Just getting a little natural sunlight can have a strong effect on chronic pain, according to a study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

Hospital patients fortunate enough to have beds on the sunny side of the building cut their need for opioid-based pain meds by 22 percent just one hour after spine surgery.

Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., associate professor of clinical psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, author of Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence and a member of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, is an advocate of medical marijuana. While regarding it as helpful for chronic pain with little risk of addiction, he concludes it’s “great for a small handful of conditions, but it’s not the cure-all that some are suggesting.”

CBD oil: Dr. Hyla Cass, of Marina del Rey, California, an integrative physician expert in psychiatry and addiction recovery, and author of The Addicted Brain and How to Break Free, is more comfortable with CBD (cannabidiol) oil. It’s a hemp product legal in 45 states, provided it qualifies in non-addictive levels of THC, the component of cannabis that induces euphoria (see TheCannabis Industry.org/state-marijuana-policies-map).

Some CBD oils contain trace amounts of THC, not enough to induce a “high” or contribute to addiction, but there are also products that contain no THC at all. By definition, hemp’s THC content is less than 0.3 percent versus marijuana’s 5 to 35 percent.

“CBD oil won’t make you high,” says Cass. “In and of itself, CBD oil is very potent. You don’t need the THC for pain relief. There’s no need to go down the slippery slope of using an illegal substance.”

In addition to CBD oil’s pain-relieving effects on the endocannabinoid system, says Cass, it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory, which contributes to its effectiveness in addressing the underlying causes of chronic pain, confirmed by University of South Carolina research.

Are You in Pain?

ometimes conventional medicine— such as prescription medication—is not effective at treating chronic pain associated with certain medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Worse still, pain relief medications, like all drugs, can have side effects, and some of them can be serious. Luckily, some people living with chronic pain find relief with complementary and alternative medicine. Here are two examples.

According to Chinese tradition, acupuncture works to restore a healthy flow of an energy force called Chi (also known as Qi). This technique frees up your body’s Chi channels, so energy can flow freely in the body, ultimately reducing your pain.

According to the National Polina Karmazin, Institutes of Health, M.D. “Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches.”

Biopuncture is a therapy using mostly plant-based, ultra-low dilution product formulas which are injected into specific body regions to relieve pain and inflammation and promote true healing.

The majority of injections are microinjections with a very small needle just under the skin or into the muscle.

Gary Griggs on What We Must Do to Save Our Coasts

by Randy Kambic

W

hile Gary Griggs has lived near the coast of California most of his life, visits to the coasts of 46 nations helped shape his latest book, Coasts in Crisis: A Global Challenge. The distinguished professor of Earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, writes on how coral reefs provide shelter, food and breeding grounds for about one-third of the world’s species of marine fish, as well as coastal protection from major weather events. Most coral reefs are now besieged by pollution, overfishing, sedimentation, coastal construction, tourism and global warming.

Approximately 3 billion people— nearly half our planet’s total population— live in coastal areas. He cites that hurricanes have caused more U.S. fatalities than any other natural hazard, and the driving forces behind rising sea levels will increase future vulnerabilities unless effective actions are taken now.

Griggs, who also wrote Introduction to California’s Beaches and Coast and Living with the Changing California Coast and co-wrote The Edge, today recaps the history and assesses the current status of coasts worldwide. He suggests ways in which current negative trends might be reversed or improved.

How can we better deal with rising sea levels?

There are now about 200 million people living within three feet of high tide. Both mitigation and adaptation will be required.

We need to do everything possible to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions, but that’s not going to stop rising sea levels anytime soon. We need to start adapting right away.

We can elevate structures, but that’s limited.

Historically, we’ve used armoring, including seawalls, levees and rock revetments, which work for awhile, but have endpoints. Ultimately, it’s going to take relocation, or what we call “planned retreat”, moving back when the sea nears our front yard. The more we reduce or mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases, the less adaptation will be needed to cope with climate change.

Why are coral reefs so vital to the global ecosystem?

In the tropical latitudes, coral reef ecosystems have formed the basic biological, geological, economic and cultural framework of area coastlines and island nations for centuries. Today, fisheries and tourism anchor those economies. Millions of people depend on these local ecosystems for their protein supply.

About 50 percent of coral reefs are in poor or fair condition, and most are in decline. Whether from pollution, dredging, filling or overfishing, virtually all of those reefs are under significant threat.

Have researchers seen any overfished species rebound?

A 2013 report by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that about twothirds of U.S. commercial fish species that

had been seriously depleted had made significant recoveries—28 of 44 fish stocks, including Atlantic bluefish, flounder and black sea bass—primarily due to better management practices. We now have fisheries restrictions and marine-protected areas in place. To realize some long-term success, we need to limit fisheries in certain areas and for certain species.

California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium publishes a Seafood Watch Consumer Guide card specific to regions; it color codes which species are safe to eat and which ones no longer can provide a sustainable harvest, so we know which ones to ask for at grocers and restaurants.

What might mitigate the environmental impact of what you term “coastal megacities”?

Eight of the largest metropolitan areas worldwide—Shanghai, Mumbai, Karachi, Tokyo, Dhaka, Jakarta, New York/New Jersey and Los Angeles—are along shorelines.

Coasts in Crisis looks at the hazards of hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and tsunamis that their residents are exposed to—along with long-term sea level rise.

These incredible concentrations of people not only fish heavily, they discharge large volumes of waste and wastewater. You can’t put 10 million people on a shoreline and not expect impacts. We need to get all of these discharges cleaned up and under control. Shorelines are very delicate biological environments.

We also must get global population under control to make a much softer footprint on the planet. It would take four planet Earths to support the present global population if everyone indulged in America’s current consumption habits (FootprintNetwork.org).

Sustainability is what we must work toward, whether it’s food, water or energy.

Currently, we’re mining the planet for all its resources, which can’t go on for much longer. We need to recognize this and return to equilibrium with what the planet can supply.

Restoring the Nutritional Value of Crops

by Melinda Hemmelgarn

W

hen we think of scientists as men and women in lab coats peering into microscopes, what’s missing is farmers. Our society doesn’t tend to equate the two, yet farmers are active field scientists. How they choose to grow and produce food greatly impacts our shared environment of soil, water and air quality, as well as the nutritional content of food, and therefore, public health.

The best field- and lab-based scientists share key traits: they’re curious, keen observers and systems thinkers that learn by trial and error. Both formulate and test hypotheses, collect data, take measurements, assess results and draw conclusions.

Field Science

Diana Dyer, a registered dietitian and organic garlic farmer outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, explains, “I like to help people see the similarities between the scientific process and good, careful farming—all aspects of which revolve around observations, goals, planning, implementation, intervention and analysis of 32

South Jersey Edition

results—then careful re-planning based on those results.”

Dyer and her husband, Dick, started farming after long careers in traditional health care, where the focus was on treating people after they got sick. Through their farm work, they wanted to focus on prevention. “Growing healthy food in healthy soil, our goal was to create and nourish a healthy community from the ground up. Communicating the multiple benefits of healthy soils and ecosystems has been at the core of our vision and responsibility from day one,” she says. The Dyers believe that flavor is key to eating and enjoying truly nourishing foods, and based on their professional health backgrounds and farming experience, they connect healthy soil with higherquality, better-tasting food.

In Havre, Montana, Doug Crabtree, and his wife, Anna, manage Vilicus Farms, featured in the book Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America, by Liz Carlisle. The Crabtrees

grow organic heirloom and specialty grains, pulses and oilseed crops such as emmer, kamut, black beluga lentils and flax.

Asked if he considers himself a scientist, Crabtree first defines the term as “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.” Then he replies, “Given this definition, how could any farmer not be a scientist? An organic farmer is a lifelong student of nature, seeking to emulate her wisdom and processes as we refine our production systems. Organic production isn’t just growing food without toxic chemical inputs, it’s a system that requires conscientiously improving soil, water and associated resources while producing safe and healthy food for America’s growing population of informed consumers.”

Healthy Soil, Food and People

At the Rodale Institute, in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Andrew Smith directs the

Organic Farmers: Growing America’s Health

new Vegetable Systems Trial, a long-term, side-by-side comparison of both biologically organic and chemically based conventional vegetable production. An organic farmer with a Ph.D. in molecular ecology from Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Smith studies how soil quality and crop-growing conditions influence the nutrient density and health-protecting properties of specific vegetables.

“Over the past 70 years, there’s been a decline in the nutritional value of our foods,” reports Smith. “During this time, industrial agriculture, with its pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, increased yields and size of crops, but the tradeoff was a decline in nutrient content, known as the ‘dilution effect’.” In addition, Smith explains, greater levels of nitrogen fertilizer, typical of conventional production methods, may also increase a plant’s susceptibility to insects and disease.

Smith’s research will give fellow farmers, healthcare providers and consumers a better understanding of how crop production practices influence soil quality and therefore, food quality. For example, research of organic crops shows higher levels of vitamin C; higher-quality protein; plus more disease-fighting compounds called secondary plant metabolites such as lycopene, polyphenols and anthocyanin, the plant pigment responsible for the red, blue and purple colors in fruits and vegetables, as reported in a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition.

The Rodale Institute has formed partnerships with nutrition and medical researchers at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park. Of particular interest, for example, are extracts from purple potatoes that show promise in helping to kill colon cancer cells. Smith looks forward to identifying growing methods that boost levels of anthocyanin, as well as other health-protecting compounds in crops.

The new Regenerative Health Institute, a global research and education center linking soil health to human health, will also be housed at the Rodale Institute. It’s a collaboration between Rodale staff and the Plantrician Project, a nonprofit organization in New Canaan, Connecticut, that

Jeff Moyer, a renowned international authority in organic agriculture and executive director of the Rodale Institute, explains, “It’s not only what you eat that’s important, but how what you eat was produced. Ultimately, our personal health is linked to the health of the soil.”

David Montgomery, a professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington, in Seattle, has visited farms worldwide, witnessing how farmers use regenerative farming practices to bring degraded soil back to life. He learned that grazing animals, cover-cropping and no-till farming free of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides protects and enriches the soil microbiome, which contributes to the nutrient density of plants and human health.

We Are What We and Our Animals Eat

Along with our well-being, livestock farming methods impact our environment, too. A growing body of research including a new study published in Food Science & Nutrition shows that meat and dairy products from animals raised mostly on grass or pasture—as nature intended—contain significantly higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed animals. These naturally occurring fats help protect us from inflammation, heart disease and cancer. Important in brain, eye and nerve development, omega-3 fatty acids are especially critical for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants.

Organic farmers, by law, must provide their ruminant animals with significant time on pasture and may not feed them genetically engineered feed or feed produced with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Further, they can’t use synthetic hormones or antibiotics to promote weight gain. In these ways, organic

34

South Jersey Edition

farmers help protect our food, water, and environment from contamination, and reduce the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance.

Randolph Center, Vermont, dairy farmers Regina and Brent Beidler diligently study and question changes they witness in their immediate environment. They monitor what grows in their pasture, watch what their cows choose to eat and count the numbers and activities of insects, bees, worms, birds and wildlife.

They understand that careful land and animal stewardship is key to soil, plant, animal and human health.

Healing Communities

More hospitals nationwide are investing in farms and farmers’ markets to boost patient, employee and community health by increasing access to nutrient-dense, fresh, healthful food. One exceptional example is the new partnership between Virginia’s Allegheny Mountain Institute (AMI) and Augusta Health, an independent, community-owned nonprofit hospital in Augusta County, Virginia.

The AMI Fellowship program prepares individuals to become farmers, teachers and ambassadors for healthpromoting food systems. “Both AMI and Augusta Health believe that access to excellent health care includes access to healthy food,” explains Sue Erhardt, the institute’s executive director.

The AMI Farm at Augusta Health initiative will create an onsite production farm and a community venue for food, nutrition and gardening education. Their goal is to tackle three major local health issues: poor nutrition, low physical activity and overweight; diabetes; and mental health. A Food Farmacy program for those with or at risk for Type 2 diabetes will provide fresh produce prescriptions at an onsite farmstand, as well as cooking classes.

Erhardt recalls her life-changing experience as a teen, hearing American labor leader Cesar Chavez speak about farm worker exposure to pesticides and related cancer clusters. She’s proud to say, “The farm project will exemplify sustainable practices for growing vegetables, including organic fourseason crops and companion planting, while promoting soil health.

“We believe this project will promote a better quality of life for staff, patients and community members.” That’s the power of farming when it’s dedicated to optimum health.

Possibly because pets are exposed to Roundup from spraying both foods and lawns, a pilot study by Health Research Institute Laboratories, which tests glyphosate levels in food and environments, found the levels in dogs’ urine were 50 times higher than the average in humans.

Amazing Recoveries

Why More Pets Are Getting Cancer

GMO Toxins Permeate Pet Foods

by Jeffrey Smith

I

n the late 1990s, the nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, “animal doctor” Michael Fox received many letters about dogs and cats with diarrhea, itchy skin and other persistent disorders.

He advised all inquirers to immediately remove foods that contain genetically modified organisms (GMO). Dozens of follow-up thank-you notes verified that his recommendation worked.

“One of the main reasons I came to the conclusion of blaming GMOs in pet foods for this cluster of health problems is that essentially, nothing else in the health background of these animals had been changing,” says Fox.

Many vets have also reported a rise in pet obesity, skin conditions, inflammation, degenerative disk disease, cancer and even shorter lifespans since late 1996, when GMOs and associated poisons entered America’s food supply. For example, most GMOs like soy, corn and canola are designed by Monsanto to tolerate high doses of its Roundup herbicide. Corn is also engineered to produce an insect-killing poison called Bt-toxin.

36

South Jersey Edition

Together with pesticides sprayed on or produced inside GMO crops, the side effects from genetic engineering create dangers.

Monsanto’s “Roundup-ready” corn has higher levels of putrescine and cadaverine, compounds responsible for dead body odor.

They promote bad breath and also can enhance the risk of allergic reactions and cancer.

Getting Cancer from Food

Cancer rates among our country’s 185 million pets are skyrocketing, especially among dogs. Canines have the highest cancer rate of all mammals; in America, about half are struck with the disease.

In 2015, the World Health Organization classified Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, as a “probable human carcinogen.” Insufficient human studies exist, but a goodly number of animal studies confirm that it causes cancer.

Preliminary tests commissioned by the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), an educational nonprofit, on the dangers of GMOs, revealed that six popular dog and cat foods contained more glyphosate residues than most human foods.

NASouthJersey.com

Numerous veterinarians see good results when pets switch to non-GMO food that’s free of synthetic pesticides. Veterinarian Barbara Royal, owner of The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center, in Chicago and author of The Royal Treatment: A Natural Approach to Wildly Healthy Pets, says, “Allergies, gastrointestinal problems, autoimmune diseases, behavioral problems [and other conditions] improve when we take the animals off of these GMO-laden, glyphosate-ridden foods, and put them on something that’s more organic and natural.

It’s a dramatic change.”

In a survey conducted by IRT, 3,256 people that adopted a non-GMO and largely organic diet reported improvements in 28 health conditions, many of which have increased in the U.S. parallel with the growing prevalence of GMOs and Roundup.

Further, 80 pet owners cited improvements in status for eight health issues, including digestion, allergies and skin conditions, when their pet’s food was changed.

Plausible explanations include that glyphosate is patented as an antibiotic, and so easily kills beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This could possibly interfere with digestion, detoxification and immunity.

According to integrative veterinarian Karen Becker, in Chicago, the Healthy Pets expert for Mercola.com, “We know now that animals consuming genetically modified foods… can change the terrain of their GI tract.” Most notably, glyphosate and Bt-toxin are linked to leaky gut—unnatural holes or gaps created in intestine walls.

Veterinarian Marlene Siegel, owner of the Pasco Veterinary Medical Center, in Lutz, Florida, says, “We know that the root cause of most disease is inflammation; and that inflammation is coming from the leaky gut.”

Organic Surpasses Non-GMO

GMOs are not the only crops drenched with Roundup. It’s also sprayed on other foods to dry them, often just a few days before harvest, including wheat, oats, barley and other cereals. It’s also used on lentils, citrus orchards, sunflowers, potato fields and vineyards.

Organic growers and processors are not allowed to use GMOs, Roundup or other synthetic toxins. It’s safest to choose organic; if unavailable, at least buy verified non-GMO. Jeffrey M. Smith is founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology and its campaign, Protect Pets from GMOs and Pesticides, at PetsAndGMOs.com. Author of the bestseller Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, his upcoming film, Secret Ingredients, interviews many that recovered from disease after switching to organic food.

Cole being treated at Animal Welfare Association’s clinic

A Dog’s Journey

T

he private, nonprofit Animal Welfare Association (AWA), based in Voorhees, is drastically impacting the euthanasia rates for dogs and cats. In 2017, AWA prevented 792 new dogs from being euthanized thanks to their transport program. From August 1 to February 28, staff traveled 2,486 miles to bring back dogs to our shelter, equating to 50 transport trips.

For dogs like Cole (formerly known

as Luther), transports are crucial. Cole, along with two other puppies, traveled to AWA from a Mississippi shelter that had minimal treatment options. All three dogs were diagnosed with Parvovirus, which is a highly contagious canine disease that kills approximately 80 percent of untreated puppies.

Cole, along with many other animals, were granted a second chance at life all because of this program. AWA was able to

quarantine, treat and eventually find Cole to a loving home. Without this support, his story would have been different. According to Shelter Services Manager Nanci Keklak, “Shelter staff has traveled as far as Tennessee to save animals that would most likely not have made it in their previous living situation. Many dogs that could have been treated with the right facility would have been euthanized.”

Through their transportation program, AWA provides extensive care to animals that are faced with medical conditions such as parvovirus. Treatment can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000 per dog. “AWA traveled to shelters that were 50 to 100 miles away to pick up dogs and place them in our adoption program,” says Shelter Services Supervisor David Caraco.

Southern shelters typically are overcrowded and left with minimal treatment options. For shelters like AWA, there is a higher adoption demand which allows for animals to get adopted quickly, leaving more space to bring in new animals. South Jersey’s Camden County community alone has a save rate of 91 percent. This rate encompasses all four county shelters: Animal Welfare Association, Camden County Animal Shelter, Voorhees Animal Orphanage and Animal Adoption Center. Transports are costly, but are made possible due to generous donors and AWA staff that are willing to travel many miles to save lives.

Through a variety of programs including adoptions, veterinary services, pet therapy and humane education, 23,000plus pets were served through AWA programming last year alone. AWA is South Jersey’s leader in progressive companion animal care.

Art that Inspires Action Artists Work to Save Nature’s Beauty

by Avery Mack

Eco-art creatively highlights environmental sustainability issues and sparks possible solutions.

M

ounts Botanical Garden, in Palm Beach County, Florida, hosted Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea, a thoughtprovoking traveling exhibit featuring giant sea creatures made entirely of marine debris from beaches. “It graphically illustrates the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways,” says Curator and Director Rochelle Wolberg. The exhibit included Grace the Humpback Whale Tail, the Marine Debris Anemone, Priscilla the Parrot Fish, Flash the Marlin, Water Bottle Jelly, Sebas-

tian James the Puffin, Lidia the Seal, Hugo the Humpback Whale Tail, American Sea Star and Musical Seaweed. Take a look at some of them and check for current exhibit locations at WashedAshore.org.

In Mechanicsville, Maryland, ex-iron and steel worker Steve Glorius repurposes scrap metal into natural world and fantasy art sculptures of ocean creatures that also inform about endangered wildlife. His works have adorned museums, restaurants, galleries and gift shops.

Debbie and Mike Schramer, owners of Fairy House Vintage Antiques and Art, in Provo, Utah, create fairy houses made from twigs, mosses, bark and other natural elements. “Instead of paint and paper, we use nature itself,” says Mike, who encourages others to follow suit. “People enjoy time outdoors more intricately as they look for small items.” Although fairy houses are trendy now, the Schramers started building their fantasy worlds in 1987. They’ve authored three books to spark the imagination, Fairy House: How to Make Amazing Fairy Furniture, Miniatures, and More from Natural Materials, Fairy Village and F is For Fairy: A Forest Friends Alphabet Primer board book.

At 14, Canadian Evan Sharma, of Kingston, Ontario, is already an active entrepreneur—his artwork now appears on sneakers and clothes. He calls his company RBLB for Right Brain/Left Brain, saying, “To be a whole person, you have to use both the creative side and the analytical side of your brain.” His passion for the environment is particularly expressed in a painting he donated to support the Olympic team. Painted at an elevation of 7,000 feet on Sun Peaks, in British Columbia, he finished with snow for authenticity and texture. This year, he spoke on creativity at the 6 Under 16 program, in Montreal.

“Eco-art makes an impact on the world,” says John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of painting + drawing at Ohio University, in Athens. “Right now, my paintings are round. People say they see a long view of the planet or what’s seen through a microscope.

Every painting evokes a different emotional response from the viewer.” All Sabraw’s paintings use pigments processed out of polluted streams, often mixed with other standard artist colors.

Sabraw has helped develop several ways for artists to adopt sustainable practices. See his TedxTalk at Tinyurl.com/SustainableArtist.

He points out that whatever form eco-art takes, its purpose is to show a problem, provoke a response and ask the viewer, “What if…?”

Why is Everybody so

STRESSED? B

essel van der Kolk, one of the world’s preeminent experts on traumatic stress, sums it up: “We are living in a world that feels less safe, manageable and predictable.” Life is simply coming at us faster than we can function.

It’s said that we have 5,200 times the sheer experience as that of our ancestors of just a century ago. Our nervous systems have not been able to evolve as quickly as the technology, rapidity and complexity of today’s world and statistics show that we are all feeling it.

Society’s dysfunctional attempts to cope with today’s stressors are revealed in the statistics. For the first

time in history, stress and anxiety disorders are affecting younger children and college students at unprecedented rates. We have an alarming opioid epidemic overshadowing the shocking fact that there were more alcohol-related deaths in 2014 than all drug and opioid deaths combined.

Antidepressant prescriptions increased 400 percent since 1990 and prescriptions for anti-anxiety and sleep medications are at all-time highs. Gun violence has become the norm, the suicide rate is up for both

perceived stress, resilience, stress and anxiety in comparison to a waitlist control group. The average score improvement shows anxiety levels went from 9.4 to 5.7 and stress from 13.2 to 8.8 after only eight weeks. If you want to release stress and learn methods for relief, find a yoga teacher or studio specializing in stress reduction and/or trauma-informed yoga. Also, see “Stress Release Sundays” in the News Briefs section.

As a society, it’s clear that we need healthy coping skills to self-soothe and self-regulate stress and emotions without numbing or lashing out. Yet, we have never been taught

the coping skills and methods. A study published by the National Institutes of Health reported that a yoga and meditation group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in scores for insomnia,

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.
