HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY PLANET

Life is Eternal As we move into the fall in the northeast, the crisp, clean, cool air is always refreshing.

It is particularly magnified this year after the oppressive humidity this summer.

Fall also makes me think of the natural cycles and rhythms of life… closed doors lead to open ones, yin to yang, down to up, failure to success, suffering to joy, death to birth.

Michelle Vacanti, Publisher things aren’t going as planned.

It is comforting to keep our thoughts and intentions in perspective this way when

One of my favorite awakened teachers, Eckart Tolle, sums it up beautifully here: “When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.

Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover the that decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn’t to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.” ~ Eckhart Tolle from Stillness Speaks

Achieve Better Health at Meadowsweet

C

hristy Panichelli, owner and natural health practitioner at Meadowsweet Natural Health Center, in Medford, positively impacts human potential by empowering clients to take back control of their health.

“What I like to offer most to my clients is hope,” notes Panichelli. “Hope that no matter how your health journey began or where you are right now, you can always choose to feel better and be healthier.”

At Meadowsweet, clients learn to improve their nutritional choices and promote positive lifestyle changes. These changes are supported with continual education in their sessions, by attending free classes and through the online educational portal.

A typical program at Meadowsweet may consist of a nutritional assessment (which includes a non-invasive method of applied kinesiology to determine the body’s nutritional needs), additional testing to assess cellular inflammation within the body and Body Code sessions to release any trapped energies or emotions that may limit or slow down the healing process.

“I’ve found that for some clients, emotional wellness is such an important part of achieving better health,” continues Panichelli. Meadowsweet also supports the use of Young Living Essential Oils to improve the vibrational energy needed to achieve better health and wellness.

Location: 639 Stokes Rd., Ste. 203, Medford, NJ. For more information, call Christy Panichelli at 609-257-3345 or visit MeadowsweetNaturalHealth.com. See ad on page 13.

Scientific Study Proves Benefits of Kangen Water

D

r. Horst Filtzer, a vascular surgeon and graduate of Harvard Medical School, recently completed a scientific study on the benefits of Kangen Water in a human tissue culture.

“When I first drank Kangen Water, I experienced something I had never before,” noted Filtzer. “I liked it very much. As I investigated the product, the concept of ionized water and the concept of alkalization of the body cells, I became more and more convinced that this is a product that is of absolute value to all mankind ad that this product should be used in all households because it clearly is superior to any form of water than I ever encountered.”

Filtzer continues, “Personally, I can testify that there is no question that my own life has been markedly enriched by the ingestion of Kangen Water. I endorse Kangen Water as a physician, as a surgeon and as a human being. I feel that it is of great benefit to all mankind and I can only recommend it in the highest way.”

ext Step Strategies is offering an introductory workshop on Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine techniques, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., November 3 and 4, at Lakewood’s Georgian Court University.

If you are looking for a natural way to tap into your body’s healing ability, these energy medicine techniques are easy and quick to do, they help balance the body’s energies, are fun and have empowered many across the globe.

This is your time to learn why Dr. Mehmet Oz believes that energy medicine is the next frontier.

Energy Medicine 101 will teach you the Daily Energy Revitalizer, how to quiet anxiety and restore calm, work with pain, heal with amazing neurovascular points, Donna Eden’s famous quickie energy balancer and much more.

Energy Medicine 102 picks up where Energy Medicine 101 leaves off, and offers important techniques for moving energy, healing pain and testing substances using energy testing.

Heart Intelligence for Caregivers Credits

I

ncreasing heart intelligence can be taught to anyone of any age by teaching user-friendly, easy-to-apply, in-themoment techniques. Embodying Wellness invites you to join them for a special class running 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 7 entitled, What is Heart Intelligence and Why Do I Need to Know it? During the class, attendees will learn techniques to shift their emotional state, building a connection between heart and mind. These techniques will improve your well-being and prevent caregiver breakdowns.

It is known that there are more signals from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart. According to research in the field of Julia Gandy neurocardiology, around 90 percent of the signals between the two organs travel this way.

Like any other form of intelligence, heart intelligence can be learned and explained with proper education.

Since so many of your body’s systems are linked to your heart, it is said that your heart sets the pace for the entire body. Therefore, if you increase your heart’s intelligence, you are helping the entire body. Outcomes can include the increased ability to maintain composure during challenges, improving family harmony, reducing fatigue and exhaustion, improve coordination and reaction times, the ability to think clearly and find better solutions and promoting the body’s natural regenerative processes.

Restore your youthful appearance,

energy, and vitality!

Successful Pregnancy Outcomes

A

ccording to Dr. Jewel Amui-Bellon from the Women for Women Medical Associates, in Marlton, women trek from all over the United States for fertility management because, just like making babies with your loved ones in a private and intimate setting, couples or anyone seeking help for future fertility services require Dr. Jewel Amui-Bellon consistent personal and intimate interactions with their loved ones. These personal interactions could mean having vaginal sexual encounters every two to three days.

For successful pregnancy outcomes, three basic questions must be answered. Does the woman have an adequate ovarian reserve? Does the male have adequate sperm to impregnate the woman? And, thirdly, can the environment that houses the baby and supports the pregnancy sustain it for nine months?

“Once these three basic questions are answered and addressed, good pregnancy outcomes can be achieved with God’s help,” says Amui-Bellon.

Amui-Bellon’s professional medical career has been a blessed and fulfilling journey, along with achieving very impressive pregnancy success rate. She has been able to assist thousands of women, within all age groups, with various fertility challenges and issues.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have found that receiving music therapy can significantly lessen a patient’s need for opioids and other painkillers after invasive surgery. The researchers tested 161 patients; 49 in the music group and 112 in a control group. After their surgery, both groups were offered painkillers intravenously at doses requested by the patient. Of those engaged in music therapy, 86 percent avoided the painkillers, compared to only 26 percent of the control group.

Knitting Releases the Blues Knitting can alleviate the blues, slow the onset of dementia and distract from chronic pain, according to a survey published in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy.

Eighty-one percent of respondents described feeling happier after a session of needlework. In another study, researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital found that the act of knitting lowers heart rates by an average of 11 beats per minute, eliciting a state of relaxation similar to that of yoga.

A Mayo Clinic study found that crafts like knitting and crocheting also reduce the chance of developing mild cognitive impairment by 28 percent. In a University of British Columbia study, 74 percent of 38 women with the eating disorder anorexia reported that it lessened the intensity of their fears and thoughts and cleared their minds of eating disorder preoccupations. In a survey of 1,000 members of the British group Knit for Peace, one in five respondents reported that knitting reduced their arthritic pain.

Music Lessons Make Kids Smarter Structured music lessons significantly enhance children’s cognitive abilities, including language-based reasoning, short-term memory and planning, while reducing inhibition, leading to improved academic performance, report researchers from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

In the study, 147 Dutch 6-year-olds were divided into music, visual arts and control groups, and monitored for two-and-a-half years. The children in the music group sang, listened to music and played an instrument of their choice one to two hours a week during regular classroom time. Compared to the control group, they demonstrated improved verbal IQ and reasoning skills, and a greater ability to plan, organize and complete tasks, as well as improved academic achievement. Children given structured visual arts lessons showed improvements in visual and spatial memory compared to the control group.

Tocotrienols are a natural form of vitamin E found in a number of foods, including wheat, barley, corn, rice and palm fruit.

Vitamin D Supplements Ease Irritable Bowels Oncology researchers from the University of Sheffield, in the UK, report that people with irritable bowel syndrome tend to be low in vitamin D. In a review of research, they found that supplemental vitamin D tends to ease associated symptoms such as bloating, stomach cramps and constipation, and improve quality of life.

Calorie Restriction Slows Aging Thirty-seven healthy, non-obese adults between 21 and 50 years old put on a calorie restriction diet for two years showed reduced systemic oxidative stress, indicating greater protection against age-related neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as cancer and diabetes. Participants in this research, conducted by Pennington Biomedical Research, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, cut their calories by 15 percent and lost an average of 20 pounds without experiencing anemia, excessive bone loss or menstrual disorders. Their metabolism also slowed, indicating that they burned energy more efficiently, a factor that may be linked to longevity.

Creating Food from Carbon Dioxide

By 2050, the world’s population is estimated to hit 10 billion, and food production will need to increase by 70 percent. Traditional farming won’t be able to keep up.

Lisa Dyson, who holds three degrees in physics, including a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston, knows the reason: ubiquitous carbon dioxide. This byproduct of burning fossil fuels is a known culprit in the pace of climate change.

Dyson is revolutionizing the way protein is made.

Several years ago, she and colleague John Reed came across NASA reports from the 1960s and ’70s that discussed using microbes to recycle carbon dioxide aboard spacecraft. “We were fascinated by their research. We wondered if we could develop a similar technology that would enable us to recycle carbon dioxide into valuable products here on Earth,” Dyson says.

Their startup, Kiverdi, uses microbes to transform carbon into bio-based products in special bio-reactors similar to the giant urns used to brew beer. This year, they’re commercializing a new process to transform CO2 into protein powder. The end product, Planet+Protein, is packed with essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

Ivory Outlawed

UK Banning Both Legal and Illegal Trade

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is in the process of implementing a neartotal ivory ban. It can’t happen soon enough because elephant populations continue to dramatically decline.

As recognized by the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species last September, “Countries with domestic ivory markets that contribute to elephant poaching or the illegal ivory trade should take all necessary legislative, regulatory and enforcement measures to close such markets as a matter of urgency.”

Any legal ivory market leads to a parallel illegal market because ivory from recently killed elephants can be made to look like old ivory, which is legal in many countries, through processes like chipping, staining and cracking.

The UK has long played a role in the international ivory trade. During the colonial era, more than a million elephants were killed to feed British demand for everything from ivory ornaments and piano keys to billiard balls and cutlery. Much of that material remains in the UK today, fueling the market. Trade data indicates that the UK is still the world’s largest exporter of legal ivory, most of which goes to Asian destinations like China and Hong Kong.

Serious concerns have surfaced about food transparency, and people are asking questions. Documentaries like Rotten urge consumers to think twice about the origins and ingredients of their food, but answers are not always readily available.

In addition to environmental concerns like long-distance transportation, people are worried about food recalls and safety. FoodLogiQ’s software solution creates “farm to fork traceability”, welcoming companies across the industry to participate, with approximately 7,000 having registered so far in some 100 countries—including Whole Foods, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Carl’s Jr., Subway, Buffalo Wild Wings and the Panda Restaurant Group.

Information provides useful details such as where the food was harvested, whether pesticides were used, where the food traveled and how it was processed.

FoodLogiQ Chief Marketing Officer Katy Jones suggests this is an important moment of change in the food industry, saying, “Food companies are embracing global standards to increase efficiencies and build a foundation for traceability and supply chain visibility.”

Corporate Conscience

Leading Food Companies Aim to Slash Energy Footprints

McDonald’s plans to reduce greenhouse emissions from their restaurants, corporate offices and supply chain by more than 30 percent by 2030. They’re the first restaurant chain with goals backed by the Science Based Targets initiative. The company expects to decrease its total emissions by more than 150 million tons.

AB InBev, the parent company of Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser beer, has ambitious plans to purchase electricity only from renewable sources for its worldwide operations in seven years. The first step includes Bud Light. The goal is for all operations in the company’s 12 Budweiser breweries across the U.S. to be powered by renewable energy.

Budweiser plants outside the U.S. will also switch to all-renewable energy, with all products planned to transition by 2025. The new status will be denoted by the label “100% Renewable Energy”.

Plastic Bag Deterrents Working in European Waters

A new study shows that there are significantly fewer plastic bags on the seafloor since a number of European countries introduced fees on them, according to a 25-year study from the UK government’s Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS).

Researchers saw an estimated 30 percent drop in the number of plastic bags in waters around Norway, Germany, northern France and Ireland. “It is encouraging to see that efforts by all of society, whether the public, industry, non-government organizations or government, to reduce plastic bags are having an effect,” says Thomas Maes, a marine litter scientist at CEFAS. “We also observed sharp declines in the percentage of plastic bags captured by fishing nets trawling the seafloor around the UK compared to 2010, and this research suggests that by working together, we can reduce, reuse and recycle to tackle the marine litter problem.”

Stress Management: Helping to keep

Change Your Behaviors, Change Your Life

M

aking any lifestyle change is a long-term commitment and the journey to wellness is sure to be filled with rewarding, as well as challenging, moments. What determines success or failure on the path to wellness isn’t the idea of perfection—it’s that no matter what, you never give up. Many are finding their path to creating and maintaining vibrant health with the support of a personal health coach.

Liesha Gallo Getson, the health coach at Health Through Awareness, in Marlton, is dedicated to helping individuals create, implement and maintain therapeutic lifestyle changes. Getson utilizes the First Line Therapy Program created by Metagenics which includes food plans that put eating for wellness into action.

These plans combine nutrigenomic principles (i.e. eating foods that help guide your genes in favor of health) with beneficial elements of traditional, plant-based eating patterns, such as but not limited to the Mediterranean diet. The foods you choose to eat can have a dramatic effect on your health and your ability to heal.

The First Line Therapy program and therapeutic lifestyle changes are recommended as a primary treatment for the diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, allergies, obesity, anxiety, depression and more.

The fundamentals of the program are:

Knowledge: Making informed decisions

regarding healthy diet and lifestyle choices that impact your health every day.

insulin and other hormone levels balanced, improving vitality.

Sleep: Quality and depth of sleep is cru-

cial for the proper functioning of the mind and body.

Primary and Secondary Food:

Primary food is more than what is on your plate. Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career, having fun and a spiritual practice can fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for life. Secondary food is what you are eating. When we use secondary food as a way to alleviate or suppress our hunger for primary food, the mind, body and spirit suffer.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA): One of the most powerful lifestyle

Liesha Gallo Getson

Balanced Eating: Choices that have a direct influence on excess insulin production, body composition and disease prevention.

Regular Activity/Exercise: A regular program of aerobic, strength training and flexibility exercises has been shown to reverse insulin resistance, increase vitality and reduce the risk of disease.

Appropriate Nutritional Supplementation: Implementation

of a nutritional program designed to help prevent or address specific conditions.

changes you can make to reduce your risk for common chronic diseases of aging is to improve your body’s composition. While a certain amount of body fat is necessary for normal functioning, excess fat in relation to lean body mass (muscle, bones, organs, tissues, etc.) can greatly increase your health risks. A high ratio of muscle to fat increases your metabolism meaning you burn more calories each day.

By using the BIA we can accurately measure body composition and monitor progress is such areas as body water, fat and fat-free mass. It measures resistance and reactance and computes fat-free mass, body cell mass, total body water and intracellular water, providing a computerized printout for ongoing comparisons.

INFINITY FLOAT: Accelerating Natural Healing and Giving Back to the Community

by Michelle Probola

T

hese days, more people are beginning to seek out holistic practices (as opposed to allopathic medicine) to help heal their bodies from various ailments. At Infinity Float, in Mt. Laurel, clients embrace this approach to wellness. Float therapy encourages physical and mental relaxation which helps accelerate the body’s natural recovery and healing processes.

During a typical session, guests spend 60 to 90 minutes floating effortlessly in warm, tranquil water filled with Epsom Salt. They are able to unwind without the pressure of gravity, making it easier to release physical tension and mental stress.

“We believe that flotation therapy is a very unique and personal practice,” notes owner Dawn Goldbacher, an active member of the Holistic Chamber of Commerce.

“Our goal is to make every guest experience exceptional. We start with a full tour of our facility and introduce our Reflection Lounge, which has a peaceful, serene vibe,” notes Goldbacher. “It’s the perfect place to relax after any service.”

Infinity Float offers the option of floating in an open pool or a modern pod.

They encourage guests to discover how and why they personally benefit from floating as the experience is different for everyone.

One 60-minute session may help to reduce chronic pain, stress, pregnancy aches and pains, headaches and fatigue. It may also 20

improve relaxation, sleep quality, mental alertness, immune function, creativity and blood pressure.

Several years ago, Dr. Justin Feinstein of the Laureate Institute for Brain Research began to examine the connection between floating and several health conditions. For example, his most recently published study focused on patients with depression and anxiety. It was found that floating suppressed anxiety responses by reflexively shifting the nervous system into a physiologically quiescent state, leading to an acute reduction in anxiety levels of participants.

Each float tank contains approximately 1,000 pounds of pharmaceuticalgrade Epsom Salt (aka magnesium sulfate), which has been shown to help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. The solution is so salty, it mimics the Dead Sea, creating a weightless environment that helps relieve pressure on the joints, and allows the spine to decompress. In addition, the opportunity

NASouthJersey.com

to “unplug” for an hour or two from the chaos of daily life is great for mental clarity and mindfulness.

“Consistency is key,” adds Goldbacher when asked how often clients should float.

“Whether you choose to float once a week or once a month, the benefits are cumulative.” New guests are encouraged to start by floating every other week. Those with chronic pain often benefit from more frequent sessions at first, and then taper down after a while. While floating is their primary therapy, Infinity Float also offers other wellness services, including a fullspectrum infrared sauna, which is popular with those looking to detox or boost circulation. In early August, they added two additional treatment rooms, enabling them to partner with select practitioners who offer reiki, ionic foot detox, massage and Rolfing. According to Goldbacher, “We were very strategic in choosing what additional services to bring to our clients.”

Infinity Float is the only facility in New Jersey to offer the Pathways RestStation lounger—a vibrational platform constructed with memory foam and an integrated audio system that promotes deep relaxation. Precisely choreographed music is synchronized with low-frequency tones and binaural beats to enable users to more readily achieve a deep state of calm. It helps to trigger the body’s natural relaxation response, which may reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and stress.

By working with the nonprofit Pathways for Veterans, Infinity Float is often able to donate RestStation sessions to veterans and provide this therapy at a minimal cost to active service members.

Infinity Float carries a limited selection of retail products. The brands they offer were chosen because of their quality and reputation in the industry. They in-

clude hemp-derived CBD products, which have been popular with guests living with conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety. All staff members have completed an independent training program to ensure they are knowledgeable about the uses and potential benefits of CBD. This enables the team to help educate clients, so they can make informed decisions about what they put in or on their bodies.

Designed to inspire relaxation, Infinity Float has become a source of respite and relief for many since opening nearly a year ago. The spa was designated a Floataway Centre of Excellence in 2017 and was recently selected as a 2018 recipient of the Small Business Success Award by the New Jersey Small Business Development Center at Rutgers-Camden.

Goldbacher enjoys collaborating with others who share her passion for pursuing wellness naturally and often partners with other local wellness experts to host workshops about varying topics of interest. As part of their commitment to “Float if Forward�, Infinity Float often supports local charity events and donates sessions to those in need. The spa also serves as a donation dropoff location for The Unforgotten Haven, a South Jersey nonprofit organization whose mission is to help the less fortunate.

Discover a holistic approach to wellness that encourages physical and mental relaxation and also helps to accelerate the body’s natural recovery and healing process.

ecognizing that it might be too late by the time they are older, many young people are already acting collectively and across partisan aisles on everything from climate change and the environment to gun control, gender equality, social justice, education and politics.

Initiatives include creating solutions for the global water crisis, serving as global ambassadors, training for public speaking and leadership, organizing youth summits, marching for causes, planting a trillion trees, participating in United Nations (UN) programs, inventing a new educational system, lobbying legislators and seeking political office.

She’s one of 80,000 girls in some 100 countries that have been trained by the UN Foundation’s Girl Up initiative to help lead the movement for gender equality; Jiang currently serves as its 2017-2018 teen advisor.

We are the generation that will do all these things. Why not start now?”

In addressing environmental issues, Sonneborn supports a tax on carbon emissions, Vermont’s commitment to uphold the standards of the Paris climate agreement and renewable energy incentives.

global youth to engage with sustainability issues. Today, the New Jersey resident serves as its president, and is passionate about why investing in the education of children is significant. As just one example, “Amazonian children are teaching their parents about how deforestation impacts climate change,” says Patel.

A degree in environmental law and policy at Vermont Law School, in South Royalton, and expertise in environmental education, curriculum development, field research and community outreach has helped Patel to assist in developing lesson plans for ECI Water Schools. Community groups and schools are mobilized to evaluate the health of rivers and provide basic training in good health habits.

Brandi Kneip’s family in Stuart, Florida, didn’t object when the 18-year-old decided to spend her college savings establishing a JAR dry goods store that fosters reusing and recycling materials to decrease or eliminate trash. Customers can buy what they need by dispensing pasta, herbs, spices, flour and other products into their own reusable jars or purchase glass containers to take home. JAR also carries eco-friendly household items.

“I want my impact on this Earth to be like footprints in the sand. For a second, the Earth knows you are there, and when you move along, the waves wash them out or the wind blows them away.

I’m so thankful for this big, green-blue planet, and I’ll strive every day to make more people notice the beauty it holds,” says Kneip.

Arati Patel was just 24 when she began serving as an intern with Earth Child Institute (ECI), a nonprofit that empowers

Felix Finkbeiner, a German student, started Plant-for-the-Planet in 2007, when he was only 9. “It’s an amazing organization run by young people,” says Patel. Inspired by the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, Finkbeiner expanded Maathai’s original concept of a billion plantings to the Trillion Tree Campaign. To date, it’s seen 15 billion new trees in 190 countries under the guidance of the U.N. Environment Programme.

Speaking at an Environmental Systems Research Institute Conference, Finkbeiner said that beyond planting trees, children involved in the initiative have delivered presentations in schools and rotary clubs, and engineered sit-down meetings with mayors, local government officials and even presidents of countries. Several have spoken

before the UN General Assembly and national parliaments, urging them to address the climate crisis.

A Revolution in Education

After graduating from Beijing University Affiliated High School, Jason Wang, 18, postponed college for a year and visited the U.S. and Europe looking for the best practices in education. When he returned, he was in no hurry to enter college, but rather to develop the curriculum for Beijing’s Moonshot Academy, which opened in January with 30 students from 14 to 16 years old.

Turning traditional methods of education on its ear, Moonshot Academy students are accepted based on their learning ability, independent thinking skills and capacity to turn ideas into action, rather than standardized test scores. Students learn through personalized experiences that enable them to practice and demonstrate core competencies to face the challenges of the future.

“Research shows that by the age of 39, today’s average high school graduate will have had nine different jobs, half of which have not been invented yet. Artificial intelligence has changed the playing field. We can’t keep educating kids in the same way,” says Nancy Riehle, executive director of the Creative Academic Network Scholastic Foundation that supports the academy.

Time’s Up

Inspired by the January 2017 Women’s March, Jamie Margolin, a 16-year-old student at Seattle’s Holy Names Academy, launched Zero Hour, a movement for October 2018

Republic of the Congo. They jointly developed the organization’s platform.

“It’s our generation that is going to be impacted the most by the effects of accelerated climate change that we are causing.

This march is a launch. We’re not done,” says Margolin.

At a pivotal time in which many theorize that our nation lacks the ability to coalesce around a great enterprise to solve existing problems, it appears that those doing the calculating have not factored in the millions of motivated young people as critical decision makers. It may be that their imagination, energetic drive, passionate self-confidence and “no borders” cooperation paves the way to a brighter future for all.

Not waiting for the torch to be passed, young people are seizing it and acting now, no longer naively thinking that there will always be enough time tomorrow.

Margolin and her teammates have formed a nationwide coalition that inspires and mobilizes students throughout the U.S. and in London, England. They took to the streets on July 21 to march for environmental justice as social justice.

Zero Hour activities supporting the Washington, D.C., march included meeting with nearly 40 federal lawmakers and presenting a manifesto of demands.

It calls for governments and companies to take action on all climate change and environmental issues, including divesting from fossil fuels; increasing investment in renewable energy; legislating strict carbon reduction targets; encouraging plant-based lifestyles; schooling youth on the importance of reducing our carbon footprint; reducing excessive use of single-use plastic; ending rainforest deforestation; halting all animal cruelty; and preventing loss of biodiversity and species extinctions.

Case Study

Healing Our Kids Reversing a Rising Tide of Chronic Conditions

by Ronica A. O’Hara

T

he statistics are startling—as many as a quarter to one half of American children now have a diagnosed chronic condition, according to studies that include one in Academic Pediatrics that includes obesity. Over the last few decades, the number of children with asthma has tripled to affect one in eight; those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have doubled to one in 10; and autism diagnoses have increased at least 10-fold, to affect one in 50 (one in 31 boys).

“It’s literally an epidemic of chronic childhood disease,” says Beth Lambert, of Charlotte, North Carolina, author of A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America’s Children and executive director of the nonprofit EpidemicAnswers.org. “Our children, with their little bodies and immature immune systems, can’t tolerate the toxic environments we’re all exposed to. They’re the canaries in the coal mine that show us that the way we are living today is not sustainable.”

South Jersey Edition

Call to Action

As scientists pinpoint the causes of conditions, parents, researchers and healthcare practitioners are discovering, Lambert says, that many of the youngsters’ chronic illnesses share a “perfect storm” of factors, including pharmaceutical overuse, toxic or nutritionally poor diets, exposure to toxins and other environmental stressors.

“Many factors contribute to these chronic disorders; one size or one treatment doesn’t fit all,” says Dr. Kenneth Bock, of Red Hook, New York, an integrative medicine practitioner who has helped more than 3,000 chronically ill children and authored Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies. “But if children with one or more of the disorders are treated with a fully integrative medicine approach, the vast majority show some improvement, many significantly, and increasing numbers may recover to a point where they even lose their diagnosis.” Effective integrative applications often change the child’s

Maria O’Neil’s firstborn son, Connor, had a perfect Apgar score (newborn health status) at birth and appeared healthy to everyone until after immunization at 15 months, when he became withdrawn and vacant, with head-banging and hand-flapping. A pediatrician diagnosed moderately severe autism and advised, “Accept your new normal. Your son was born this way.”

O’Neil exclaimed, “I will not let this disease take my child!”

After she replaced processed foods, sugar, dairy and gluten with organics in his diet, he became calmer and “more here”.

Tests by another pediatrician, Dr. Bob Sears, showed Connor had gut damage, mitochondrial issues, a high viral load, a low white cell count and a deficiency in basic vitamins and minerals. “Now I had a game plan,” says O’Neil, of Joshua Tree, California.

Connor was given fish oil, B12 shots, juices, targeted herbs, Epsom salt baths, hyperbaric oxygen, a mitochondrial cocktail of nutraceuticals, medication with the antifungal fluconazole (Diflucan), the antiviral valacyclovir (Valtrex) and the immunity-enhancing naltrexone (Revia), plus acupuncture, homeopathy and chiropractic. Over time, Connor’s eyes brightened, his language “burst forth” and he became social and loving.

By age 5, educators took him off his individualized learning program because he had no relevant symptoms. Today, at 9, he’s a popular fourth-grade kid that loves swimming, soccer and art, and wants to become a scientist or engineer. “The future is limitless for Connor,” O’Neil reports.

“He can do anything he sets his mind to.”

Millennials Lead the Way

‘Less Meat’ Goes Mainstream

Options Grow for Plant-Based Eating

by Marlaina Donato

P

lant-based lifestyles, once considered by some as a fad that would fade, are on the rise worldwide.

According to a Harris Interactive poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, 6 million to 8 million Americans have completely eliminated meat, including seafood, from their plates. With a 600 percent increase of people going vegan

domestically in the past three years and companies like Nestlé devising vegan-tailored product launches, plant-based eating is creating unprecedented demand.

“I’ve definitely seen plant-based eating become more mainstream. Many restaurants now provide plant-based options to keep their customers happy, and more food startups are creating nut- and

GlobalData, a data and analytics company, reports, “Seventy percent of the world population is either reducing meat consumption or leaving meat off the table altogether,” with Millennials at the forefront.

“The environment has been the Millennial generation’s primary concern. Health is of less importance than interest in making the Earth a better place to live,” says Gene Stone, a plant-based diet expert in Hudson, New York, and author of the bestselling Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health.

Stollman concurs, saying, “The majority of my vegan clients are in their 20s and 30s, and their concern for animal treatment relates to sustainability. Sustainability helps to reduce methane emissions from industrial farms.”

Wynnie Stein, co-owner of the iconic Moosewood Restaurant, in Ithaca, New York, and co-author of its groundbreaking spinoff vegetarian cookbooks, has witnessed monumental changes since the early 1970s. Younger cooks at Moosewood have also brought passionate innovations to the establishment. “Millennials are incredibly creative, especially with plant-based and gluten-free dishes. They’re committed to animal rights and issues that affect the health of the planet,” observes Stein.

soy-based cheeses, milks and yogurts,” says Lisa Stollman, a plant-based nutritionist in New York City. Vegan lunch options are even making their way into the Los Angeles public school system.

providing plant-based meals for patients, perceptions are shifting. Holistic Cardiologist Joel Kahn, in Ferndale, Michigan, began teaching plant-based diets to heart patients in 1990, and has subsequently seen hundreds of them avoid invasive and surgical procedures, as well as show less evidence of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension. “Many of my patients have decreased or eliminated the otherwise lifelong ‘jail’ of prescription drugs. They learned that disease reversal, not management, is the goal,” says Kahn.

Supermarkets across the country are stocking meatless products like plantbased burgers. Many athletes and bodybuilders that have switched away from eating meat attest to improved results by tapping into plant power. People of all walks of life, including seniors, have embraced this paradigm. “There is increased interest in health as Baby Boomers age and start to realize the benefits of a plant-based diet, much of it due to myriad new research,” says Stone.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, a diet rich in vegetables and fruits lowers blood pressure. The American Diabetes Association supports a nutrient-

dense vegetarian diet that can decrease the risk of certain diseases.

For Stollman’s vegan clients aged 50 and older, “Health plays a strong role in their interest in plant-based eating. The science has become clear, and based on the evidence, I continue to teach my clients the importance of including plant-based meals in their daily diets,” she says.

Looking Forward

The surge of people changing their diet has a multilevel impact. “I feel deeply grateful to have been able to help spread the word about plant-based diets. Health, the envi-

ronment and animal protection are great concerns of mine,” says Stone.

Stein appreciates how the positive change in diet benefiting people and the planet is coming full circle. “We’re still amazed and honored to know that our cookbooks have helped to create a sea change. Folks visiting from all over the world tell us how our recipes have influenced several generations of their families.”

What Allergy Testing Doesn’t Tell You

by Kimberly Spair

I

n recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in people experiencing reactions during and after eating certain foods. Someone eats a food, their body reacts in an unusual or undesirable way and they head to a medical practitioner who specializes in food allergies or digestion.

Next often comes the recommendation for an allergy test. Currently, there are many tests available that claim to show if a person is allergic to specific foods. An IgG test (that measures the level of immunoglobulin G [IgG] antibodies) is fairly common. Unfortunately, these tests are not always accurate. Instead of helping, they tend to provide people with misinformation that can lead to confusion and frustration. As it turns out, the tests can’t accurately assess whether someone is sensitive to a particular food, is actually experiencing detox symptoms, or if the symptoms are caused by something else altogether. The Medical Medium book informs that, most often, detox is what’s happening. The accused foods (often fruits and vegetables) are actually going after a pathogen in the body and causing it to die off (which is a good thing).

Common Food Allergens & What’s Actually Happening Dairy Allergy/Lactose Intolerance Many parents today suspect that their children have a dairy/lactose/milk allergy/ intolerance/ sensitivity. After consuming dairy products, they report immediate issues (runny nose, stomach pain, bloating, gas, bathroom problems), which is certainly no fun. These reactions may be due to the dairy products in one’s system hyper-feeding a group of bugs in the colon 30

food and medication triggers, you should address these instances differently than you would seasonal allergies or milder food allergies. Anaphylactic shock causes a sudden drop in blood pressure and difficulty breathing—a life-threatening situation. If you experience a severe allergic reaction and are unprepared/unequipped to deal with it, seek immediate medical care.

Moving Forward – What to Focus on, What to Eliminate First, an action plan is necessary to start addressing the pathogens in your child’s body with antiviral and antibacterial foods and supplements. This can (and should) be a slow process of gradually increasing good foods, decreasing bad foods and supporting the body along the way.

Eating fresh fruits, leafy greens and vegetables can help kill off pathogens that trigger allergy symptoms and wreak havoc in the system. Here are some notable foods to include in your treatment plan: Kimberly M. Spair, MCD, CCC-SLP/L and intestinal tract that tear into the dairy product which stirs up immediate reactions in the body.

Wheat/Gluten Allergy

Once again, when someone is given a diagnosis of a wheat allergy or even celiac disease, it’s not because of the wheat itself, but because the person has a pathogen in his/her body that is feeding on the wheat.

If you’re dealing with any condition, keep wheat plus the other “what not to eat foods” out. (These can be found in the book Medical Medium by Anthony William.) If you’re really seeking a grain, you’re better off selecting quinoa or millet.

Keep in mind that allergies that result in anaphylactic shock are a completely different issue to the seasonal allergies and milder food allergies and sensitivities people experience. If you suffer from severe food allergies due to a tree nut/peanut allergy, latex, paint, bee stings and other

n Celery/Celery Juice • Celery juice is highly anti-inflammatory and is therefore beneficial for people who suffer from chronic and mystery illnesses.

• Celery is perfect for reversing inflammation because it starves the pathogens, including unproductive bacteria and viruses such as Epstein-Barr (EBV), that create it.

• Celery juice strengthens hydrochloric acid in your gut which is helpful because hydrochloric acid is critical to digestion and to keeping your digestive system alkaline. n Cucumber/Cucumber Juice • Cucumber juice has the ability to cleanse and detox the entire body along with helping to alleviate a variety of digestive problems.

• Cucumber also has wonderful antiinflammatory benefits.

n Wild Blueberries • Bring wild blueberries into your diet if you want to help protect yourself against environmental toxins. They are forced to fight all types of environmental elements as they grow and are the most adaptogenic food you can consume.

• Try out other antioxidant-rich foods including other types of berries like cranberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.

• Melons, apples, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, kiwis, oranges, pomelos, zucchinis, and grapefruits are other powerhouse fruits for your diet. n Sweet Potatoes • Sweet potatoes are known for being easy to digest and are very good for ulcers, inflamed colons, digestive disorders and constipation.

• Sweet potatoes are also an excellent anti-stress food and are known to help relax muscles, steady nerves and balance cognitive function.

In summary, while “allergies” seem easy to blame, so many of our children have pathogens and/or toxicity in the body, which are causing them unwanted symptoms. Results are best when individuals are approached as a whole and when the brain and nervous system are supported. The ultimate goals are to get our children’s immune systems prepared to react appropriately when exposed to bugs or toxins and to eliminate any deficiencies, so we can rest assured that we are well on our way toward achieving these goals.

• Consider supplements such as zinc, B12, probiotics, spirulina and Nettle leaf.

Seek out a knowledgeable professional for more information about specific dosing.

• Remove foods that feed pathogens, also known as “NO foods” including gluten, dairy, eggs, canola oil, soy, corn, processed beet sugar, pork, farmed fish and MSG from your diet (remember that MSG can go by a variety of names, so pay attention to food labels when grocery shopping). Also, try your best to avoid artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, natural flavors and citric acid. (Check Medical Medium book for more details.) For even quicker healing results, remove rye and other grains from your diet.

• If major diet shifts seem overwhelming right now, start with just removing one or two of the mentioned “no foods” from your child’s diet and see how even a single shift can ease symptoms and ignite change.

Once you begin to notice the benefits of a small dietary modification, you may be more motivated to continue removing unproductive foods. Any step towards healing is a victory!

MULTIFACETED CHIROPRACTIC Integrative Approaches Enhance Healing

by Marlaina Donato

M

odern chiropractors are often seen primarily as pain specialists, yet their care can encompass much more. While the common focus is better health through spinal manipulation, the origins of chiropractic are manifold. Typical approaches for structural issues and injuries include spinal adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound and heat therapy, but some practitioners also embrace nutrition.

Training requirements for chiropractors vary by state. “Here in Oregon, chiropractic physicians—both legally and through our training—are taught to be primary care physicians,” says Doctor of Chiropractic Michael Herb, of the Absolute Wellness Center, in Eugene, Oregon. “We must complete extensive training not only on the musculoskeletal system, but also on managing various internal medical pathologies such as those related to the cardiovascular system, genitourinary conditions, 32

South Jersey Edition

obstetrics and gynecology. We also learn to perform minor surgical procedures.”

Chiropractor Tom Hyland Robertson, of Whole Chiropractic Healthcare, in Odenton, Maryland, notes, “To limit chiropractic to two categories of traditional and integrative isn’t accurate.

There are almost as many specialists among doctors of chiropractic (DC) as among medical doctors (M.D.). There are chiropractors that specialize in pediatrics, veterinary, orthopedics, internal medicine, neurology, radiology and other areas. Integrative chiropractic uses as many tools as possible from the realm of each doctor’s training.”

Integrative Well-Being The world of chiropractic is diverse and growing to meet patient needs. Many chiropractors offer several healing modalities in-house that are geared to take whole-person care to an integrated harmonious level.

NASouthJersey.com

“Research shows that patient outcomes are far better with a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare needs,” says Herb. “Offering a variety of specialties like physical therapy, sports medicine, nutrition and natural pain relief in my practice means patients receive the care and amount of time they need. They are not limited by what I personally can offer or have time to provide.”

Many chiropractic facilities nationwide employ acupuncturists and therapeutic massage therapists, offering diverse treatment options like functional medicine and cryotherapy—ice therapy—versus traditional heat therapy.

Robertson provides complementary treatments ranging from nutrition to physical therapy and yoga because he has found it is important to incorporate multiple treatment philosophies, examining the same problem from different angles, saying, “Chiropractic integrates many safe modalities found to be more effective than opioids, for instance.” He notes that early chiropractic was actually integrative, with its founder, Daniel David Palmer, promoting a healthy diet and calmer lifestyle a century ago.

Collaborative Options Progressive chiropractic now includes innovative approaches to treat the nervous system. The cutting-edge field of functional (or chiropractic) neurology, which reactivates partially non-functional neural pathways, is employed in cases like concussions, vertigo, migraines, pain syndromes, neuropathy and attention-deficit disorders.

Massage modalities, combined with chiropractic, are widely recognized to significantly increase circulation and improve range of motion. Acupuncture, when used in conjunction with chiropractic treatment, enhances muscle relaxation and fosters easier adjustments.

inadequacies, the presence of heavy metals and genetic markers for disease are all considered in determining a patient’s overall health.

“Chiropractic treatment addresses results of physical stress. Functional medicine looks at emotional and biochemical stress,” says Johnson. “The chiropractic paradigm is based on the premise that the body has an inborn ability to heal itself. If the only method a provider has to offer is chiropractic adjustments, then they’ll have cases where the patient’s condition doesn’t fully improve because there might be other factors at play, including nutritional deficiencies, toxicities and emotional stress.

When we address other relevant issues, we find that patients ‘hold’ their adjustments longer.”

ecause exercise delivers so many benefits, it’s not surprising that one of them is increased libido. A low sex drive can affect either gender at any age, and contributing factors include hormonal changes, daily stressors and certain prescription drugs.

According to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, shortduration bursts of exercise work to increase circulation and heart rate, thus amping up physiological arousal in women. Sexual performance is enhanced in men by exercising three to five times a week, according to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

“Eating right and being committed to a daily exercise regimen that includes strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training is key to maintaining a great libido and continual excellence in sexual function,” affirms Dr. Jeffry Life, author of The Life Plan: How Any Man Can Achieve Lasting Health, Great Sex, and a Stronger, Leaner Body and owner of The Life Center for Healthy Aging, in Charleston, West Virginia.

Healthy Hormones

Exercise increases testosterone, endorphins and adrenal hormones, all of which are essential to a satisfying sex life. Studies from the University of Texas at Austin show premenopausal women experience increased sexual response with exercise, including individuals with diminished sex drives due to the use of antidepressants.

“Stress is one of the biggest libidokillers in women, and endorphins released during exercise can reduce stress, improve libido and increase arousal,” maintains Stephanie Mansour, fitness expert and CEO of Step It Up with Steph, in Chicago, Illinois. “Adding 30 minutes of exercise a few times a week can increase endorphins, blood flow and testosterone.”

Aging Passionately

The inevitable hormonal changes of menopause and beyond can dampen a woman’s sex life, but it doesn’t have to become a way of life. “Women can experience side effects of shifting hormonal levels which cause libido to vanish and the vagina to become dry, making us feel

anything but empowered,” explains Ellen Dolgen, the Coronado, California, author of Menopause Mondays: The Girlfriend’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving During Perimenopause and Menopause. “Exercise, along with the guidance of a menopause specialist to help manage those hormonal changes, is a winning ticket. Life in our 40s, 50s and beyond can be wonderful!”

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a problem for many men, and can result from sedentary lifestyles, certain medications and cardiovascular issues. “ED is a huge problem worldwide, and vascular disease is one of the major causes,” says Life. “This can be avoided by eating properly and making exercise an essential part of everyday life, which can also reduce the need for prescription drugs that are another major cause of the problem.”

Testosterone—a hormone that plays a significant role in lighting our “fire” and keeping it lit—can be enhanced by adding workouts with weights. “Strength training can boost testosterone, which may boost sex drive in both women and men. For men, I recommend lifting weights and doing push-ups. However, it’s important to note that too much intense exercise or strength training may have the opposite effect, and actually reduce the desire to have sex,” says Mansour.

In addition to a daily exercise program that includes cardio and flexibility exercises, Life concurs, “Thirty to 60 minutes of strength training three to four times a week is ideal.”

According to a review published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, yoga may increase both male endurance and female response. “Yoga turns off our sympathetic nervous system, the part that keeps us in ‘fight-or-flight’ response. Inversions like the shoulder stand help to harmonize hormones, supporting a well-balanced sex drive,” explains Pam Medina, owner of The Yoga Lily, in Clifton Park, New York. “We need to feel attractive, and yoga can help us to accept the body as a sacred vehicle for the soul.”

No matter the age or condition of the body, a more satisfying sex life and better self-image is possible through feeling fit. Life reminds us, “Check with your doctor before taking up an exercise regimen, and know that maintaining a healthy body can give us essential ingredients for a great sex life well into our 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.”

The Rise of Blue Zones in America Places that Encourage Healthy Living

by Avery Mack

D

an Buettner’s book The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest launched a movement a decade ago. Sequels include The Blue Zones of Happiness, The Blue Zones Solution and Thrive. Many communities have embraced the principles of this “make healthy living easier” paradigm, resulting in the improved well-being of residents.

“Add more years to your life and more life to your years,” says Nick Buettner, vice president at Blue Zones LLC, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the founder’s brother who spoke with us. “The people around you, the places where you work, live and play, and the social norms in your community have an impact on your health.”

The original U.S. pilot project in 2009, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, is a prime example. Instead of widening a main thoroughfare and raising the speed limit, the city widened the sidewalk and created a path around nearby Fountain Lake, offering safe exercise for bikers, joggers and walkers. The Hy-Vee grocery increased its health market section from two to seven aisles, leading to a 130 percent rise in related sales, and added a Blue Zones checkout lane for healthy grab-and-go options. City workplaces now offer quiet rooms and fruit instead of candy; one business converted a garage to a pickleball court.

The five original Blue Zones are Ikaria, Greece; Loma Linda, California; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Okinawa, Japan; and Sardinia, Italy.

Blue Zone Basics

Move Naturally – Even at work, get up and move at least once every 20 minutes.

Reduce Stress – Take a nap, nature walk

or meditate.

Act Intentionally – “People that feel

they have a reason to get out of bed in the morning tend to live seven years longer than those who just go through the motions,” says Buettner. A strong sense of purpose defines quality of life.

Eat Healthy – Enjoy the benefits of a plant-based diet. One cup of beans a day adds three to four years in life expectancy.

Plant a garden to grow fresher, pesticidefree food. Eat meat an average of five times a month and in small-portioned stir-fry, soups and pasta. Consume fewer calories.

Drink wine in moderation. Check out BlueZones.com/recipes.

Maintain Relationships – “If you have

fewer than three friends, it’s the equivalent of smoking for 20 years,” Buettner maintains.

NASouthJersey.com

“Growing old in place and staying at home instead of a retirement or nursing home is easier to accomplish when you have a social network.” Meet regularly with friends.

Have Faith – A faith-based life taps into a larger resource far greater than oneself and enhances a sense of purpose, social network and calm content.

Prioritize Family – Amid the busyness of life, make the most enjoyable family time and nurturing activities each day’s first choice.

“Over the last four years in Florida, our sponsor, NCH Healthcare System, has helped to build well-being infrastructure and sustainability for approximately 400,000 people; that swells to nearly 1.2 million during high season from January to April,” says Deb Logan, executive director of Blue Zones Project-SWFL (Southwest Florida). “We have 33 Blue Zone-approved restaurants that collectively make an additional 176 plant-based menu items available locally; the first half of this year, they sold 130,000 Blue Zones-inspired dishes.”

The healthful community philosophy was vital in Hawaii, when the Kīlauea Volcano spewed lava, sulfur dioxide and acid rain. First-responders staffed checkpoint stations around the clock to protect the public from dangerous areas, exposing themselves to combined sun and volcanic heat. The Hawaiian Blue Zone team delivered smoothies, beverages and paletas—healthy popsicles made with real fruit—to help workers stay cooler. They also delivered them to volunteers and public service groups, including Hope Services Hawaii, which built tiny houses for families displaced by volcanic activity.

“We don’t come into an area and say, ‘This is what you must do.’ We say, ‘This is what you can do.’ The readiness must come from the city level, businesses, schools and nonprofits,” Buettner says. “The right leadership must be committed and prepared to follow through on multiple years of initiatives.”

He remarks, “In the end, my hope for the future lies in the fact that communities care about their health. Blue Zones isn’t about the quantity of years, but the quality of life, and often that adds years, too.”

About 500 million plastic straws are discarded daily in America, reports the U.S. National Park Service. Plastic that reaches waterways is ingested by marine life and our food chain. Individuals and municipalities are taking action to support options, including going strawless. n The Last Plastic Straw (TheLastPlasticStraw.org), a project of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, has a worldwide map locator that pinpoints restaurants that have ceased using plastic straws. n Milo Cress, who launched the Be Straw Free (BeStrawFree.org) campaign in 2011 when he was 9, is again speaking to school students this fall, primarily via Skype. “It’s exciting to inspire them to know that they can do something in their community,” says the senior high school student in Shelburne, Vermont. n Strawfree.org, a Southern California volunteer-driven organization, offers kits that include bamboo straws, carrying holders and cleaning brushes. n McDonald’s has announced it will transition from plastic to paper straws in its U.S., UK and Ireland restaurants beginning this year, and subsequently expand the switch to other countries. n In May, New York City lawmakers introduced a bill banning plastic straws in all bars and restaurants in the Big Apple, and Seattle has banned the use of single-use plastic straws, thanks to the Strawless in Seattle movement. EcoCycle, Inc. (EcoCycle.org) and the Inland Ocean Coalition, both in Boulder, Colorado, are asking restaurants citywide not to use them. In July, Starbucks announced plans to eliminate straw use globally by 2020. n StrawlessOcean.org offers straw alternatives made of paper by Aardvark, steel and silicone by Klean Kanteen, metal by Steelys Drinkware and bamboo

by StrawFree. n EcoWatch.com suggests, “Unlike metal or glass, soft and bendable silicone straws don’t clink your teeth, making them ideal for kids and straw-biters” and that such products made by Softy Straws work with hot drinks and withstand dishwashers. It also recommends wheat stems, corn bioplastic and bucatini pasta, a spaghetti-like noodle with a hole in the middle.

DONNA KARAN on Fashioning Healthful Change

South Jersey Edition

s a style icon, humanitarian and pioneer of conscious consumerism, Donna Karan has elevated fashion to a platform for change throughout her career, using her celebrity status to raise funds for AIDS research in the 1990s and more recently venturing into alternative health care.

Karan’s first collection under her signature label DKNY, which debuted in 1985, aimed to dress women in comfortable, professional clothes that embraced and flattered the female form. The brand was built on women’s strengths, rather than insecurities; her iconic 1992 “In Women We Trust” ad campaign depicted the inauguration of a female president.

Her latest multidimensional Urban Zen project (UZIT) supports cultural preservation, compassionate health care and education. The affiliated brand integrates luxury and sustainability with multicultural traditions and modern trends in a multifaceted line of clothing, accessories and beauty care products.

UZIT fuses Eastern healing techniques and Western medicine in a patientcentric model intended to foster calm in the midst of the stress and chaos of illness.

The complementary therapies program was born out of Karan’s challenging period serving as a caregiver during her late husband’s struggle with lung cancer.

Karan is a member of the Coty Hall of Fame and recipient of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Lifetime

NASouthJersey.com

Achievement Award and Glamour’s Woman of the Year award.

How has your fashion style and philosophy changed over the course of your career?

For me, fashion has always been about “dressing and addressing.” It all started when the AIDS epidemic broke out in the late 1980s, and the fashion community came together to launch Seventh on Sale to raise funds and awareness for the disease that was taking the lives of so many talented designers. Now more than ever, we must address such issues.

My philosophy and purpose has always been inspired by cultures, creators and artisans from all corners of the world, connecting past, present and future. I launched the nonprofit organization Urban Zen to create a community of change through philanthropy and commerce. I want consumers to be aware that their purchases provide the power to help others in need.

How is the UZIT program enhancing health and well-being?

UZIT came about after witnessing the ones I loved suffer and going through their experiences by their sides. Launched in partnership with yoga instructor Rodney Yee, the program has trained members of collaborating healthcare and yoga

communities in the healing modalities of yoga therapy, reiki, essential oil therapy, nutrition and contemplative care.

The goal is to change the healthcare system by bringing care back into health care. Rather than just treat the disease, we need to treat patients, their loved ones and their caregivers. We also must express care for the doctors and nurses that are part of the story; they need gentle care every bit as much. We are all on this journey together.

Therapists at centers such as the University of California, Los Angeles, rehabilitation unit have seen results with patients suffering from stress, claustrophobia, headaches and back pain through these techniques. Many patients report feeling more relaxed, sleeping better and experiencing less pain and anxiety than they had ever experienced with medication.

Do you see some positive trends in fashion today?

More people are paying attention to sustainability in fashion today than ever before, and more designers are using materials and fabrics that respect people and the planet; for example, by using quality materials that endure. Recycling fabrics and materials is one way to contribute to sustainability. We work with the Apparent Project, which recycles cereal boxes to make beautiful necklaces, as well as with Paula Coles, who makes bags out of T-shirts.

Can fashion effect social change in the world?

I view fashion, design and style all as platforms for conscious change. I use fashion to raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well-being, conscious consumerism and integrative education.

Today, there is a greater emphasis on preserving our world cultures and maintaining the authenticity that comes from traditional artisans and artists. A collaborative mentality of “we” is far healthier than one of “me”.

he American Pet Products Association estimates Americans collectively spent $69.5 million on our 235 million mammal, avian and reptile pets, as well as 158 million pet fish, in 2017. It’s not surprising that end-of-life planning for a devoted family companion is a solemn endeavor.

Burial in a box or blanket in the backyard used to be the predominant way to deal with pet remains. As people and pet populations have grown, many municipalities now have ordinances against the practice. Instead, good options exist that protect and preserve the planet these animals so enjoyed.

Innovative Containers

Kay Winters, a blogger at PawsAndPines. com, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, mothers a dog, Clover, and two cats, Chuckie and Mittens. “When they pass away, I plan to bury them in biodegradable mushroom bags,” she says. “It has mushroom and other organisms infused into it to help with natural decomposition, cleanse any environmental toxins in the body and nourish the nearby soil.”

Another biodegradable container is a pod that contains nutrient-rich soil, a seed and the pet’s ashes to nourish the resulting plant, tree or shrub. It’s a lovely way to remember the pet and replenish Earth’s greenspace.

NASouthJersey.com

Aquamation or Cremation

Veterinary offices commonly arrange for the pet’s body to be sent to a crematorium, with ashes returned several days later. Using temperatures from 1,400 to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, these facilities impose a larger carbon footprint than other options.

At-home euthanasia may be beneficial for terminal pets. The animal can remain calm in familiar surroundings with family present. The veterinarian allows time for goodbyes, and when the family is ready, removes the body. “We always place the pets on nice stretchers with a blanket over the body and encourage the family to place toys or flowers with their pet. There’s no handing out brochures with photos of urns or upselling. It’s respectful of the pet’s life,” says Veterinarian Mary Gardner, of Yorba Linda, California, co-founder and chief technology officer at Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, a national network of veterinarians dedicated to end-of-life care.

Gardner is also building an aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) facility in Boynton Beach, Florida. This alternative to cremation has a far smaller environmental impact because the resulting alkaline water is safe to drain, containing no chemicals or DNA.

Elizabeth Fournier, author of The Green Burial Guidebook, owns and operates

Cornerstone Funeral Services and Cremation, in Boring, Oregon, where she periodically receives inquiries about pets. “I’ve received calls over the years for horses, donkeys, sheep and dogs.

One family called me for their alpaca. I explained my funeral home was a humanonly funeral parlor, but I’d be more than happy to help with a referral,” Fournier says. She offered a choice of flame or water. “They liked the water method because Spunky the Alpaca loved the rain and could drink more water than most of her pasture mates,” she says.

The family let all the other animals at home come by to give Spunky a sniff and a goodbye, and then took her body for bio-cremation. “They took her ashes home in a ceramic pig cookie jar,” says Fournier.

“It’s my favorite story.”

“The zero-emission aquamation process creates one-tenth the carbon footprint of traditional, flame-based cremation and enables 20 percent more ashes to be returned to the family, allowing for a lasting contribution to be made to the Earth in honor of a beloved pet,” says Christie Cornelius, the founding doctor of veterinary medicine at Last Wishes Compassionate Comfort Care for Pets, in Houston, Texas.

Eternal Reefs, Inc., in Sarasota, Florida, mixes environmentally friendly concrete with cremains to form a gigantic reef ball, which is then placed on the ocean floor to replenish naturally diminishing reef systems and provide a permanent underwater memorial. Originally designed for human use, some owners have asked for pets to be included. To reduce costs, families are encouraged to hold their pet’s cremated remains for the appropriate time when they are memorializing a human loved one. Recorded GPS coordinates facilitate future visits to the area.

Whether using earth, fire or water, there are many ways to honor a pet’s lifelong devotion and lessen its final carbon footprint to protect Earth’s natural health and beauty.

And catches him. He clings to her long fur By his thumbs and toes and teeth.

And then the mother dances through the night Doubling and looping, soaring, somersaulting — Her baby hangs on underneath.

All night, in happiness, she hunts and flies.

Her high sharp cries Like shining needlepoints of sound Go out into the night and, echoing back, Tell her what they have touched.

She hears how far it is, how big it is, Which way it’s going.

She lives by hearing.

The mother eats the moths and gnats she catches In full flight; in full flight The mother drinks the water of the pond She skims across. Her baby hangs on tight.

Her baby drinks the milk she makes him In moonlight or starlight, in mid-air.

Their single shadow, printed on the moon Or fluttering across the stars,

Whirls on all night; at daybreak The tired mother flaps home to her rafter.

The others all are there.

They hang themselves up by their toes, They wrap themselves in their brown wings.

Bunched upside-down, they sleep in air.

Their sharp ears, their sharp teeth, their quick sharp faces Are dull and slow and mild.

All the bright day, as the mother sleeps, She folds her wings about her sleeping child.

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 ads on pages 2 and 13.
