“Necessity is the mother of invention. A need or problem encourages creative effort to meet the need or solve the problem.” ~ Plato “At seventeen, I enlisted in the Marine Corps. At Camp Lejeune, I drank water contaminated with carcinogenic substances which gave me cancer. The Chemotherapy destroyed the cartilage in my cervical spine. The pain became so intense, I felt I would not be able to work much longer as a Physical Therapist.

Only $14.95

Hence, the creation of Chazael Lotion.” Kevin Sgroi, PT Creator of Chazael Lotion

“Chazael lotion is amazing! After being shot six times on March 6, 2016, nothing helped alleviate the severe swelling in my feet until my physical therapist gave me this lotion. He said it works equally well in relieving the symptoms of arthritis, muscle spasms, and increasing flexibility in joints plagued by arthritis. Please try this product!”

Pastor Tim, Coeur d’Alene “Chazael has become my go-to lotion! I am a physical therapist and have started using this incredible lotion with my patients. When pain is decreased, therapy is more effective. The lotion absorbs quickly into the skin and does not have a lingering smell. Chazael is a game changer for me.”

Laura Steininger, DPT “After 20 plus years of practicing manual therapy, my hands can become stiff and swollen. Within five minutes of rubbing in the Chazael I could make a fist with ease and the swelling in my joints was significantly reduced. I use Chazael daily for myself and my patients.”

Jason Bruns, MPT, OCS “This lotion is an absolute miracle! It keeps my legs from cramping up, especially at night, and it stops many of the pains I experience!”

ave you heard the old cliché: life is a journey, not a destination? For some reason, I’ve always found this expression annoying. In my mind, destinations, goals and dreams coming true are the whole point of this “journey” of life. Sure, there is a process required to get from point A to point B, but isn’t the destination what’s really important? Forty-four years and a whole lot of journeys later, I finally get it—nope, not so much. The Universal Law of Process centers around the principle that we’re all here for a very specific purpose, and we each have a unique path to follow in this life. Many times, our path is like a spiral staircase that twists and turns as we ascend each step upward toward our perceived goal or destination, as well as backward when we stumble, lose our footing and fall. Some of us are very clear about what’s at the top, while others of us find the ‘destination’ shifts and changes as we progress the staircase. What once seemed important at the beginning of the climb is now irrelevant, and we are led to another stairwell and a new destination. Regardless, each of us requires our own step-by-step process to get where we are going and to be who we are becoming. Those attempting to subvert this law and create a shortcut or a giant leap from the bottom of the staircase to the top, often find themselves lost, confused and foundationless, causing the entire staircase to crumble. And now, back to step one. What this law has been teaching me is that my journey is mine and mine alone, and what someone else might perceive as a misstep or fall, is nothing more than divine re-direction leading me to exactly what’s required next on this path of life. It’s teaching me patience and courage and faith to keep taking the small steps, even if they’re unsteady— especially when they’re unsteady. I love this quote by Meister Eckhart, German theologian from the 13th century, who said, “God is not found in the Soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.” Yes, this winding staircase has led me on a process of adding crap I thought I needed to survive and thrive in this physical realm, only to then release most of it, or at least that which no longer served my highest good. It has led me to question and disregard the mistruths and lies I’ve believed about myself and the world around me. It has led me all the way back to myself—my own inner wisdom and the spirit of God within myself and each one of us. And guess what, this process of life has led me to an exciting new adventure I’m embarking on this month—a trip to Egypt! I’m beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to help lead a 12-day sacred travel tour through Egypt, with the hope (goal/destination;) of guiding my own transformational “soulventure” trips in the future. I will share details and pictures of the tour in the April and May issues of Natural Awakenings. Until then my friends, please enjoy the March issue which is filled with plant-based goodness, the powerful benefits of CBD on mental health (as well as local articles from our trusted CBD resource providers!), my Publisher’s Pick highlighting Pam Flowerday Intuitive Counsel and our Community Spotlight featuring my friend and favorite stress-reducing practitioner, Jennifer Burrows of Mind-Body Wellness.

Reset Your Nervous System to Resolve Chronic Health Conditions

arrin Lenton, owner of Neural Advantage, specializes in helping clients with chronic pain and other health difficulties. Conditions that he has successfully helped resolve include balance issues, muscle tightness/weakness, vertigo, ocular control, chronic pain, athletic injuries, recurring headaches, arthritis and more. “I Darrin Lenton want people to know that if they have been to every specialist out there and have tried every therapy recommended, yet they are still experiencing pain, there is hope,” says Lenton. “I am not a replacement to other therapies, but I do offer complementary care that can serve as a catalyst to get them through a plateau with remarkable results.” Lenton describes his healing work as energy medicine meets western neuroscience. “I divide problems into two categories: neural signaling and structural anomalies,” explains Lenton. “I can find and reset dysfunctions within the neural network responsible for pain or functional trouble with anything that the nervous system controls.” He goes on to share that many people with chronic pain experience neural signaling miscommunication in the body which can lead to lower and upper back, knee, shoulder, neck and joint pain. “Neurons act like a dimmer switch that are either dialed up too high or too low, which leads to extreme pain and difficulty functioning,” says Lenton. “It seems like magic, but once I’m able to address and resolve the neurological signaling error, and if that error was the sole reason for the pain or dysfunction, then that symptom is immediately cleared.” Structural anomalies such as scar tissue, bone spurs, arthritis, calcifications and some tumors require a bit more time and attention to reset, according to Lenton. “These structures take up space in the body and soft tissue and nerves can become stuck together creating adhesions and nerve entrapments and reduce tissue extensibility,” he says. “In many cases, complete resolution of a painful problem cannot be achieved without solving both neural signaling errors and structural anomalies. I can reset these signaling errors immediately and deal with the structural issues over the course of a few visits, setting the stage for a client to clean the scar tissue out of their own body, naturally.” For more information, or to read client testimonials, visit Facebook. com/NeuralAdvantage. Cost: $100 for a 60-minute session. Offices located in Spokane Valley and Coeur d’Alene. To make an appointment, call 916-215-9118. See ad, page 15.

Wide Variety of CBD Products Available at Local’s Canna House

he wellness CBD market is alive and well in Spokane and many local cannabis retail shops, including Local’s Canna House, have joined the revolution. “Although hemp-derived CBD is unregulated, there is another option for adults 21 and older,” shares Doug Peterson, owner of Local’s Canna House. Local’s Canna House carries a variety of CBD products from tinctures and topicals, to flower and vape cartridges. With such a large number of options, customers can find the method that works best for their body. “It’s important to note that all CBD products carried in Washington cannabis retail shops must have concentrations of THC of at least 0.3 percent or more. But that doesn’t mean you’ll experience the psychoactive effects of the THC,” says Peterson. Larissa Campbell, a lead budtender a Local’s explains that the addition of THC is what contributes to the “entourage” effect. “In many cases, the combination of THC and CBD can actually maximize the effects of CBD.” The entourage effect is when different compounds of the cannabis plant interact with the human body to create a synergistic effect. “We have many CBD products that are so popular they just fly off the shelves,” says Campbell, who assures potential customers not to be intimidated by the wide variety of products. “Our team is great at spending as much time as you need explaining the different products and recommending what might be helpful. Hearing stories from our customers about how our products have changed their lives is really motivating to us. We just want to help as many people as we can.” Local’s Canna House is located at 9616 E Sprague Ave., in the Spokane Valley. The store’s knowledgeable budtenders can recommend products varying from edibles, tinctures, topicals, vape cartridges and more. Call 509-413-2796 or visit LocalsCannaHouse.com for more information.

The Benefits of Working with a Transformational Coach by Jennifer Spor

ome of the most successful people on the planet—from athletes to corporate leaders—have coaches to keep them on track to achieving their goals. There are a multitude of coaches to choose from, including transformational coaches. While the word transformation implies change, a transformational coach helps their clients remember the essence of who they are and who they’ve always been. Transformational coaches help clients close the gap between where they are now in their lives and where they want to be, helping them reach the highest levels of fulfillment, potential and performance. This style of coaching is an ideal match for spiritually driven leaders, who feel stuck in their nine to five gain the clarity and confidence they need to answer their higher calling. A transformational coach could be a great solution for you if any of the following are true: You feel stuck. You know you want to change your life, but you’re not sure where to start, or what it is that you want. You’ve already experienced a certain level of success, but it doesn’t mean what it used to. You’re looking for “more” in your career and life, but you’re not clear on what that “more” is… Your confidence and self-esteem aren’t at the level you want them to be. There may be suppressed emotions and past experiences you’re holding onto that need to be let go. You want to stop second-guessing yourself and tune into your intuition more. Managing your emotions is a challenge. You tend to let external circumstances and the approval of others affect how you feel. You overcommit, and you can’t say no. You often feel overwhelmed by all you have to take care of, and you don’t consistently make time for yourself. You’re going through a life transition. You’re re-evaluating your priorities and quality of life. Spirituality is becoming more of a focus, and you’re trying to make sense of how everything fits. You’re not moving forward on following your dreams. You have dreams and intend to pursue them, but you’re not clear in how you’re going to get there, so you end up procrastinating. If any of these resonate with you, then the guidance of a transformational coach might be the next step you require on your life path! Jennifer Spor is a transformational coach and psychic serving the Inland Northwest region. She helps those who are ready to gain the clarity and confidence needed to move forward on their path.

bright sun directly behind my rose which indicated my highest truth and my spiritual resources. I felt fabulous and lit up with this information.

Questions

Next I was given the opportunity to ask any questions or talk about areas of my life where I had concerns. As I’m talking, Flowerday is able to tune in and watch which parts of my aura light up and then she’s able to read these ‘pictures’ and track them back to the starting point of the issue/concern. She asks for guidance from her inner self and the client’s inner self to show what information is useful in resolving the issue. She was able to take me back to a time in my childhood when I felt responsible for the adults in my life, and as a result of this assumed responsibility, I allowed a part of myself to break off. We talked at length about what she saw. Soon, she was able to guide me to clarity. I cried quite a bit but felt relief and forgiveness of myself and those around me. It was a very beautiful experience. She also shared with me an affirmation I could use in the future for additional self-care and healing.

Reiki/High Spirit Healing

After the intuitive reading which took about an hour, she asked if I would like a healing. Of course, I said yes and hopped on the table. She spent about 30 minutes checking and realigning my chakras, clearing out the energy ready to be released from the session. She even did remote healing work on my children. I felt very relaxed and at peace. Finally, she called in golden energy from above to fill the space and me, replenishing the energy field and sealing the healing. I was on cloud nine for the rest of the day and would highly recommend her reading and reiki session to anyone looking for additional guidance and clarity in their life. Session cost for new clients: $112 (regularly $155). Location: The Lotus Spokane, 225 E. Sprague Ave., Spokane. For more information or to schedule, call 510-701-0204 or visit PamFlowerday.com.

THE ROOTS OF GOOD HEALTH Thriving on a Plant-Based Diet W

by April Thompson

hether identifying as vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian or other veggie-friendly variant, a growing number of Americans are moving away from meat products and toward plant-rich foods. Most come to a plant-based diet for personal, planetary or animal welfare reasons; however, they stay for the flavorful foods they discover along their dietary journey and the health benefits they reap. Marly McMillen-Beelman was prescribed medications to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. “I knew I didn’t want to be on prescriptions, so I decided to change my diet, beginning by giving up meat, dairy and eggs. I immediately felt much better and my symptoms 12

went away naturally,” says the Kansas City, Missouri, author of The Everything Vegan Meal Prep Cookbook and founder of Chopped Academy, an online resource for food bloggers. “Now I eat an even greater variety of food than I did before I went vegan.” While only 3 percent of Americans identified as vegan and 5 percent as vegetarian in a recent Gallup Poll, a 2018 report by restaurant consultants Baum + Whiteman indicates that about 83 percent are eating more plant-based foods. Embarking on a plant-based diet is a lifelong adventure, but it can take time to adjust. Experts recommend a healthy dose of self-love with the newfound fondness for fruits and veggies. “Give your-

self some slack and realize that dietary changes do not happen overnight,” says April Murray, a registered dietician in Costa Mesa, California. “Start with familiar plant-based foods you already enjoy, and ease into trying new foods, whether tempeh or lentils.” A plant-oriented diet also can be flexible; health advocates encourage individuals to find a diet that works for them and their families. Leah Webb, the Asheville, North Carolina, author of Simple and Delicious Recipes for Cooking with Whole Foods on a Restrictive Diet, has adapted her diet over time to accommodate her family’s health needs. Although Webb has always maintained a plant-rich diet, she began incorporating

some animal products when her son was born. “He had severe food allergies and asthma, and needed a more diverse diet,” explains Webb, whose daughter also has cystic fibrosis. Cutting out grains was a game-changer in “calming down his gut, where most of immune response lies,” says Webb. “He is now off asthma medication and the number of allergens he suffers from has dropped from seven to two.” Webb’s family eats bountifully from their backyard garden, complemented by meat and produce from local farmers’ markets, where she can be certain the foods were produced sustainably and humanely. “I use meat to flavor soups or accent vegetables, rather than as the star of the show. I like to focus on real flavors, using lots of garlic, herbs and spices,” says Webb. Murray, author of The Everything Pegan Diet Cookbook: 300 Recipes for Starting—and Maintaining—the Pegan Diet, follows that diet, a mash-up of paleo and vegan regimens that focuses on whole, fresh and sustainable food high in healthy fats and vitamins. The Pegan diet eschews refined sugar and highly processed foods, while allowing meat, poultry, fish and eggs, as well as gluten-free grains, legumes and dairy products in small amounts. “This diet can be helpful to different

people in so many ways,” says Murray. “For people with diabetes and blood sugar dysregulation, this high-fiber diet can help lower blood sugar and insulin levels. Heart health will improve, as you’ll be eating less animal products, which can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Many individuals also find themselves losing unwanted weight as they get filled up so quickly with these whole foods.”

Plant-Based Nutrition Made Easy

While some worry about getting sufficient nutrients on a largely plant-based diet, nutrition experts say these fears are unfounded. “People think they need to calculate every nutrient, but if you eat a plant-centered, whole-foods diet, you will get every vitamin and mineral you need to thrive,” says Ocean Robbins, co-founder of the Food Revolution Network and author of The 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World. Legumes, nuts and seeds are all healthy, abundant sources of protein and iron. Reed Mangels, author of Your Complete Vegan Pregnancy: Your All-in-One Guide to a Healthy, Holistic, Plant-Based Pregnancy, busts the myth that cow’s milk is a must for growing bones. “Calcium, vitamin D and

protein are the nutrients we usually associate with bone health. One easy way to get all three is a soy-based or pea protein-based plant milk that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D,” says Mangels, adding that green vegetables like kale, bok choy, collards and broccoli are great sources of calcium. “‘Eating the rainbow’ is great way to make sure you’re consuming a variety of nutrients,” offers London-based Ben Pook, who co-authored the cookbook So Vegan in 5 with his partner Roxy Pope. “Many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants bring their own distinctive colors to fruits and vegetables, so preparing colorful meals is a simple way of getting as many nutrients into your diet as possible.”

Getting Social

Dietary changes can be challenging to navigate initially, particularly when faced with social situations ranging from family gatherings to cohabitation. Having a good plan going into such situations can help ease the transition, say experts. “Never show up to an event hungry. You will be more likely to make a good decision if you are nourished. On the way there, remind yourself why you are making the transition to plant-based eating,” suggests Murray. “I call myself a secular vegan because

Plant-Based Primer

avigating the lexicon of plant-based diets can be tricky, and choosing a diet even trickier. Here’s a brief guide to some of the commonly used terms. Flexitarians eat a mainly vegetarian diet, but will consume meat on occasion. Pegans (a term coined by Dr. Mark Hyman, who follows the diet) focus on eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, fish and eggs, while avoiding dairy, grains, legumes, sugar and processed foods. Pescatarians like radio host Howard Stern eat fish, seafood and other forms of animal products such as dairy, but don’t eat other forms of meat such as chicken, beef or pork.

Plant-based diets, followed by celebrities like Ben Stiller, consist mostly or entirely of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, with few or no animal products. Vegans don’t consume any animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey or gelatin. Famous vegans include Ellen DeGeneres, Betty White, Beyonce, Bill Clinton, Madonna and Venus Williams. Vegetarians refrain from meat and seafood, but will consume dairy or other animal byproducts such as honey. Well-known vegetarians include Albert Einstein, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Doris Day, Jane Goodall, Kristen Wiig and Prince. March 2020

I don’t have a dogmatic approach to the way I eat. If I go to a family dinner and someone has made something special for me, but they used a non-vegan cheese, I will respect my family member’s effort and eat some of it. These situations will pop up from time to time, and the more you can be compassionate with yourself, the better,” says McMillen-Beelman. “If you are living with people who are not joining you in making a dietary shift, agree to respect each other’s choices. Make it a shared learning journey rather than a power struggle,” says Robbins. For example, he suggests making a vegetarian base and allowing those that want animal products to add them as toppings. A burrito bar can accommodate all diets by allowing people to add their own fixings to a base of beans and tortillas, whether those be dairy options like cheese and sour cream or veganfriendly guacamole and salsa. For families with kids, being flexible and inclusive can help make changes feel more positive and sustainable. “We never eat processed foods at home, but parties are that time I tell my kids they can eat

whatever they want,” says Webb. “Get your children involved, so that they are more engaged in the eating experience. Let your children pick out recipes or snacks for the week. Make the food look pretty and it will taste more satisfying,” adds Murray.

Plant Prep Made Easy

Plant-based chefs have plenty of kitchen hacks for making food prep and planning fun and easy. Robbins suggests finding go-to recipes to put on repeat. “Your prep time goes down a lot as you make the same dish, and the familiarity will help you develop lasting habits around new food patterns,” he says. Webb incorporates a healthy protein, fat and vegetable into every meal, even breakfast, but cooks in batches and freezes portions or repurposes leftovers to simplify mealtimes. “You’ll get burned out if you try to cook something from scratch every meal,” says Webb. “We eat a lot of eggs because we raise chickens, so I’ll do baked frittatas I can reheat during the week.” Advance meal prep can take the pressure off busy times like the weekday

breakfast rush, adds Robbins. One of his favorite breakfasts involves soaking oats and chia seeds overnight, which he tops in the morning with some unsweetened soy or coconut milk, chopped banana, frozen blueberries, and a dash of maple syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. “It’s full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants and phytonutrients,” he says. Webb encourages people to get out of their food comfort zones by experimenting with approximate ingredients, like swapping kabocha or honeynut squash for butternut squash. Robbins also suggests making social connections with others on the same path by cooking them a meal, organizing a meal swap or sharing extras. “It’s not a diet or a fad; it’s a way of life. Start where you are and remember it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. Have love, dignity and compassion toward yourself and others along the journey,” he says.

Many vegans have diets that rely heavily on processed foods, such as boxed vegan meals and sugary desserts. While they might not contain animal products, they still aren’t good for one’s health in heavy consumption. This includes soda pop, alcohol and coffee drinks heavily infused with natural or artificial flavors. These processed foods and beverages are a burden to the body, and over time, can hinder good health.

A Healthier Path to

The Modern

Plant-Based Diet by Cheryl Fagras

lant-based diets have been all the rage—especially in the last decade. For a variety of reasons, people have been ditching animal-based products for plant-powered foods. However, what many people may not realize is that their new diets aren’t necessarily healthier than their previous diet—especially if it consists of too many processed or genetically-modified foods. Below are some guidelines to help ensure healthier food choices for those choosing to follow a plant-based diet: Be sure that your plant-based diet consists mostly of plants.

• Try to eat fruits and vegetables that are organic. Ideally, it’s best to get produce from a locally known farmer. This can be done by either buying directly from the farm, at a farmer’s market, or from the local co-op. Buying local, or growing our own produce, reduces the amount of synthetic chemicals we consume in the nutrient deficient, commercially grown produce found in most grocery stores. • Don’t be fooled by new foods being marketed as “plant-based.” Many of these products are created using biotechnology, gene editing, 3D printed DNA, (DNA that is not found in nature), genetically modified yeast and artificial intelligence. It is far from natural or healthy. Global food giants and chemical companies are aware of food trends and are capitalizing on them, but not necessarily with the public’s health on the forefront of their minds. • Be aware that non-GMO labels don’t cover foods made from plants that have been genetically altered using CRISPR technology. It has been approved for use in food labeled as organic by the USDA. As of now, there have been no safety studies done to determine how eating this unnatural, gene-edited food affects animals or humans, or how it will affect the ecosystem. Keeping these tips in mind can help create the best, healthiest version of any plant-based diet.

In addition to offering fresh herbs, teas diffusers and other health products, Fagras offers regular natural health education classes.

CBD’s New Frontier Help for Mental Health by Julie Marshall

hen Kaye Herbert’s husband brought home a free sample of cannabidiol (CBD) oil, she didn’t hesitate to give it a try. Having heard about its calming effects, she gave CBD to her three sons, whose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder made home-schooling difficult due to frequent tantrums and lack of focus. “I didn’t expect CBD to be miraculous, but I was surprised that my kids’ frustrations were

greatly reduced,” says the Austin, Texas, mom. “We weren’t seeing the severity of meltdowns.” The use of CBD in tinctures, capsules and lotions has grown exponentially, along with the science to prove its efficacy in remediating physical pain. Newer, but equally as robust, is the viability of CBD as a remedy for mental health-related issues, experts say, pointing to anxiety, depression and stress as

the top three applications. However, as an unregulated supplement, CBD presents a challenge for consumers in its ubiquity from CBD-infused pillows to gummies, soaps and even pet food. Discerning purity, dosage and safety are real concerns for those that may grab any bottle off the shelf. Consumers must become well informed, especially when replacing medications for serious disorders, experts say. But for anxiety and emotional well-being, CBD is largely heralded as a safe and natural choice by providers well-versed in CBD, such as Peter Bongiorno, past president of the New York Association of Naturopathic Physicians. “It’s really important for people to know their options and to keep looking for what works for them,” he says.

The Feel-Good Molecule

CBD, a compound extracted from the hemp plant, is appealing because it can raise the level of cannabinoids—feel-good molecules naturally created within the human body. “When we can’t sleep or are stressed out, cannabinoid levels go way down,” Bongiorno says. While prescription drugs overwhelm the body with adverse side effects, CBD can healthfully bring back balance. But CBD won’t trigger an altered state because there is little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that produces a high, he says,

adding that he starts patients at a low daily dose of 25 milligrams. It’s important to talk with a physician about drug interactions, Bongiorno says. For instance, CBD can increase levels of blood-thinning medications, according to a 2017 study published in Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports. CBD can possibly treat a wide range of conditions, from fear of public speaking to bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, but more research is needed, experts say. A 2018 clinical trial published in JAMA Psychiatry suggests CBD offers potential in treating psychosis. More recently, researchers in a 2019 case study of 27 patients published by the Permanente Journal concluded, “Cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders.”

Seeds of Hope

The most important step consumers can take to find a safe, quality product is to know where their CBD comes from, experts say. Lara Miller is an organic farmer in Lafayette, Colorado, who in 2017 dedicated a parcel of her two-acre farm to growing hemp for her business, North

Field Farmacy. “I added in hemp because it is a dynamic plant that produces fiber, seed and medicine for us humans, all at the same time,” she says. Miller’s small, women-owned business grows the leafy plants outdoors in organic soil and harvests by hand. “We test in the field, post-harvest, during extraction and in the final product,” she says. “We know our product is clean and pure and potent.” This isn’t always the case. A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that in 84 CBD products sold online by 31 companies, 26 percent contained less CBD than the amount listed on the label. Miller receives weekly calls from those wanting to purchase her plants and start a CBD business. “What bothers me the most is that not one person has asked how my hemp is grown,” she says. “It all feels like a big grab; the integrity isn’t there.” Miller continues to decline these requests and spends her days on the farm, where—come harvest time—she, alongside her crew, engages in some visualizations.

Life-Changing CBD J

essica Charles, regional manager of Bluegrass Hemp Oil in Spokane Valley, shares that like many others, she was led to discover the medicinal benefits of CBD by witnessing a health crisis with a loved one. “After years of unsuccessful treatments, my nine-year-old sister was in peril. Her autism had led to anxiety which triggered rage episodes and self-harm. It was constant and severe. We had to find something to help her,” she recalls. Joined by dozens of other families of children in need, Charles began advocating for legal access to hemp rich in cannabidiol (CBD) in 2012. The CBD movement was born and quickly gained traction. By 2014, hemp became legal to grow and process. One of those families was Bill and Adriane Polyniak, the

founding family of Kentucky Cannabis Company and Bluegrass Hemp Oil. Because of their advocacy for their son with epilepsy, they received a hemp license to grow and produce CBD. Their need led them to create some of the first CBD products available nationwide. “Two months into CBD use, we knew we had found what worked for my sister. Her meltdowns were all but gone, she was sleeping well, her vocabulary suddenly switched on, and most importantly, she seemed happy,” says Charles, who affirms that within months, countless CBD consumers experience similar levels of benefit, including the Polyniak’s son, who had become seizure-free. As research shows, CBD is highly effective in helping the body regulate itself. Consistent low servings tend to bring a variety of benefits over time, and for some, immediate results may be possible. “Anxiety, supported by both anecdotal and scientific evidence, is a perfect example of this,” says Charles.

The key to success in administering LDN is understanding that optimal dosing is ultimately patient specific and is not dependent on a set protocol. Dosing strategies can vary tremendously with some patients finding success very quickly, while others need to try a variety of dosing strategies. LDN is available only by prescription and must be custom made at a compounding pharmacy. It is critical to work with a provider or a compounding pharmacy knowledgeable in strategies that can help ensure success with LDN.

through a process of entrainment. The goal is to return the body’s frequencies to their natural state, correcting the stress patterns. The Emotion Code modality is a very direct way to identify and release trapped emotions from the body. Burrows says, “To this day, I have yet to see any physical ailment that doesn’t have some kind of trapped emotion involved, such as shock and panic from a past car accident. Where did those emotions go if they don’t get processed? They leave an energetic imprint in the body that can wreak havoc.” HeartMath consists of breathing exercises and emotional regulation techniques that can put the heart into a state of coherence and increase heart rate variability. When practicing HeartMath techniques, the heart sends these balancing signals to the brain and nervous systems. “That can have a huge positive health effect on the entire body as it can bring us out of a flight or fight response, and with practice, create resilience to stress,” explains Burrows. Nutritional health coaching, quantum biofeedback, Emotion Code and Heart Math are all modalities that can be used in conjunction with other types of therapies to help reduce stress and its adverse effects, Burrows says.
