As our regular readers know each month we have an editorial theme. I normally write my letter from the publisher after layout and with associated thoughts that reflect our monthly topics. With “Healthy Families” as our August theme I found myself thinking about how much I am enjoying my daughters in their young adulthood. I always told my daughters growing up that “I am not your friend, I am your Yolo Board’s San Diego stand up paddlers mother.” However, as our kids grow and become adult companions, they do become our friends. So yes, I have been called on sending mixed messages from both my daughters. I tell them, smiling of course, that was then and this is now. My youngest daughter is in Switzerland working as a camp counselor for the summer. It is so much fun to listen to her childcare experiences and see all her photos. Camps can create temporary groups of family-like members and provide life-long memories. Group activities are abundant in San Diego for all ages. Socialization and group participation is nourishing for the soul. I recently joined a San Diego meetup group for stand up paddle boarders. Not only did I meet nice people with like interests but I’m exploring new territory like I’m a San Diego tourist. We don’t have to travel far to seek fun especially in San Diego paradise. We don’t need genetic bonding to be part of a family. Many of us have pets as our companions and they too become part of our beloved families. People and pets are one big family and so we always provide a monthly Natural Pet section in our monthly publication. Nutrition has become at the top of importance for people and pets. It has to be. I try to deliver you all the information I can gather in a 30-day time period every month. Please note that there are always additional articles and events listed on our website that may not be in our printed magazine. Natural Awakenings magazine is a national magazine presently publishing in 90 cities. The publishers have come together and decided to collectively invite our readers to participate in submitting art and photos for magazine covers. Look online and in our printed magazine to see how you can participate. We will be holding future contests and surveys for your participation and offering prizes to winning participants. We urge you to subscribe to our email list and join our family. If you have an iPad or iPhone y can download our Natural Awakenings national magazine. We are looking to do the same for our local magazines. Your readership and interaction brings our family of publishers together.

Meditative Flower Arranging Class
T
he San Diego Shambhala Meditation Center is offering “Kado: Way of the Flowers,” an ikebana (flower-arranging) class with senior teacher, Marcia Wang Shibata, on August 17-19. Kado is a meditative practice based on the Shambhala teachings of compassion and fearlessness. Ms. Shibata will demonstrate classical arrangement and students will have opportunity to practice during the weekend. Class size is limited to 15 participants to ensure ample time for individual, personalized instruction. Students will have the opportunity to practice basic classical flower arrangement during the weekend training and receive guidance from Ms. Shibata. The practice includes observing where one’s arrangement is not in balance with the main structure, its details and environment. “The way of the flowers is no different than the Way of Humanity, as we are under the same universal laws as is all life,” explains Shibata. “Therefore Kado is, at the same time, a study of ourselves as well as a study of nature.” Ms. Shibata was introduced to the study and practice of ikebana and Buddhism by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche an ikebana Master of the Sogetsu School in 1974. The San Diego Shambhala Meditation Center is a nonprofit organization located in North Park. Location: 3139 University Ave., San Diego.

The Artist’s Way with Judith Balian
T
his fall, Judith Balian celebrates her fifth year of offering expressive arts classes based on Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way. The nine-week class helps people overcome blocks, transform their inner critics, and move forward with their creative projects and dreams. Balian provides a safe space where participants can explore themselves and discover their own natural creativity. The classes include the traditional Artist’s Way check-in and sharing followed by activities such as image making, sculpting, writing, movement, visualization and role play. With a master’s degree in psychology and a certificate in expressive arts, Balian explains that it’s the processes, not the final product, that help people get in touch with their creativity. “You don’t need artistic ability or special talent, just an open mind,” she explains. “The expressive arts spark imagination, foster self-knowledge, and provide inspiration.” Balian also offers a class she calls “Beyond the Artist’s Way” for people who have previously taken an Artist’s Way class and a support group called Tea & Accountability to help people stay on track with their projects and goals. Location: Soul of Yoga, 327 Encinitas Boulevard, Encinitas or The Unity Center, 8999 Activity Road, San Diego. Date: Begins September 11 and 12.

SEED Institute Presents Future of Humanity Conference
I
ndigenous elders, social visionaries, ecologists, philosophers, healers and experts on the Maya calendar are gathering together this year to explore and rediscover what it means
to be human. Sponsored by the SEED Institute (Source for Educational Empowerment and Community Dialogue), the Wisdom from the Origins Conference: The Mayan Calendar and Other Prophecies on the Future of Humanity will be held from September 13 to 17, at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Opening ceremonies take place at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, and the conference features a special dinner, art auction and performances by an indigenous dance troupe. Participants can gather in breakout sessions with featured presenters that include Barbara Marx Hubbard, Marianne Williamson, Gregg Braden, James O’Dea, Kenny Ausubel, Nina Simons, Robert Sitler and Kenneth Johnson. They will be joined by the head of the Mayan Council of Elders, six members of The Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, Mayan daykeepers, Hopi elders and many other wisdom holders from around the world. “While there has been a lot of hype about the ‘end’ of the Maya long calendar in December 2012, many tribal elders and visionaries believe that we are moving toward a paradigm shift in human consciousness,” explains SEED President Glenn Parry. “Wisdom from the Origins offers an unprecedented opportunity to learn from the elders and to participate in group dialogue, storytelling and ceremonies that promote balance, harmony and healing.” For fees, directions, additional information and to register, call 505-792-2900, email GParry@SEEDGraduateInstitute. org or visit SEEDGraduateInstitute.org.

Fundraising Efforts Needed for Vitamin D Study
Yoga Master Teacher Training Program
G
rassrootsHealth will use a very generous donation of 4000 bottles of vitamin D3 liquid supplements to distribute to participants in various Protect Our Children NOW! fundraising events in San Diego during the next two months. The Protect Our Children NOW! campaign to get at least 1000 pregnant women to test their vitamin D levels throughout their pregnancy, and to then test their infants, has just been launched by GrassrootsHealth. “When there is a randomized trial that not only shows getting the vitamin D serum levels to a minimum of 40 ng/ml is optimal and, that it’s safe, we need to take action on a community basis,” says Carole Baggerly, director of GrassrootsHealth. Carol L. Wagner, M.D., co-author of the paper on Vitamin D Supplementation and Pregnancy, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2011, and the leader of this study indicates that “The involvement of over 1000 women who have chosen to participate in this population-based study will provide unprecedented data and information that will unequivocally show the importance of vitamin D during pregnancy, and will be the motivating factor in defining and re-defining public policy and strategies to improve health during pregnancy.” Fundraising efforts are needed to provide support for the project. Any organization or group that is interested in sponsoring a fundraising event should contact Jen Aliano, Director of Communications. GrassrootsHealth will provide a brief informational session about vitamin D and pregnancy to the group and will provide the free supplements at the event.

oul of Yoga in Encinitas will host a yoga master teacher training program beginning September 13. Soul of Yoga owners, Tom and Trisha Kelly, say, “The Sundara College: 300-Hour Advanced Studies Program being offered is truly a one-of-kind mastership program for yoga teachers.” The program was designed especially for 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teachers who wish to pursue a 500-Hour Yoga Alliance Certification. “One big reason this program is so exceptional is the mastery level of the faculty,” explains Tom. “With Nischala Joy Devi, Roger Cole, Tim Miller, Phil Goldberg, Leslie Kaminoff, Larry Payne, Brian Dorfman and many others –13 master teachers to be exact–the program offers unparalleled expertise in a wide range of subject matter.” Courses of study include yoga anatomy and physiology, yoga therapy, Kundalini, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Viniyoga, prenatal, Prime of Life and Silver Age Yoga practices, as well as metaphysical healing, sacred scripture study, and more. One graduate raves, “I have so many tools in my yoga tool belt now I feel confident teaching anyone at any stage of life or in any physical condition. But not only do I feel like I earned a master’s degree in yoga teaching, I discovered the greatest treasure imaginable– the voice of my own Soul.“ According to the Kellys, Sundara College, Soul of Yoga’s 200, 300 and 500 hour Teacher Training program is a spiritual journey; a true school of life. The Advanced 300 Hour program is now enrolling students for the September 2012 session.

The Diet Myth
D
r. Adiel Tel-Oren, known as “Dr. T, “ returns to Carlsbad and San Diego for another eye-opening lecture focused on health and well-being. During this event, which will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, August 30 and again on Friday, August 31, Dr. T will discuss “The Diet Myth.” “Many diets appear successful and logical,” says Dr. T, “but in reality can cause long-term harm to your health.” He will discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of multiple popular diets including The Zone, Atkins and The Paleo Diet. Dr. T is passionate about educating audiences so that they can take individual ownership of their health and wellbeing, rather than giving away this responsibility to diseaseoriented doctors and insurance companies. “Lecture attendees can expect to walk away with valuable information on how to be ‘good consumers’ of the health care industry,” he says. Dr. T will also be seeing clients for his revolutionary method of eliminating skin tags, moles and skin lesions. “This approach is safe, gentle, non-medical, non-surgical, painless and esthetically pleasing,” assures Dr. T. Dr. Tel-Oren is the founder and co-founder of several non-profit health and sustainability programs worldwide. Location: Carlsbad 2004 Subida Terr., Carlsbad on August 30 and at LotusRain Naturopathic Clinic, 5210 Balboa Ave. Ste. F, San Diego on August 31.

No GMOs
Stop Monsanto’s Attacks on Safe Food Laws Beyond continuing its well-documented opposition to genetically modified (GMO) labeling laws in order to protect its corporate interests, Monsanto has recently launched aggressive backdoor attacks on organic and non-GMO farmers and consumers. The corporation’s rider attached to the U.S. House of Representatives’ 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill would allow planting of new genetically engineered (GE) crops—even when courts rule that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved them illegally. Now, Monsanto has slipped an even more dangerous provision, HR 872, into the house version of the Farm Bill. This so-called Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act would stop the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from reviewing new and expanded uses of pesticides (often caused by the introduction of herbicide-resistant GMO crops) and require the USDA to approve GE crops easier and faster. Most GMO crops have been genetically engineered to withstand spraying with herbicides whose toxic ingredients remain in the plants and then enter the environment and food chain. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine links GMO foods with adverse health effects, and the President’s Cancer Panel Report advises against choosing foods grown with pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Join with millions of other concerned consumers and national organizations, such as the Organic Consumers Association, Center for Food Safety, United Farm Workers, American Public Health Association, Sierra Club, Rainforest Action Network and Institute for Responsible Technology, to safeguard our food supply and environment. Tell Congress to remove Monsanto’s toxic provisions. Take action to protect citizens’ food at Tinyurl.com/StopMonsantoNow.

Long Live Exceptional Books With the avalanche of digital content available on a host of common devices that include computers, tablets and phones, some educators are concerned that literary classics are getting short shrift in the mix of websites, blogs, social networks and music. The Great Books Summer Program (GreatBooksSummer. com) introduces young book lovers to literature they would not typically encounter in today’s classrooms. The unique summer camp, held for the past 10 years at Amherst College, in Massachusetts, and Stanford University, in California, was created for middle school and high school students to discover and maintain critical reading and thinking skills during their seasonal break and beyond. “Great Books’ faculty not only stresses the importance of reading, but introduces exceptional literature that students wouldn’t typically discover on their own,” says co-founder and Academic Director Peter Temes, Ph.D. Primary goals of the program are to help students learn how to read and think at a college level; learn how to engage in lively, spirited, yet disciplined discussion; gain new powers of perception, critical thinking and self-expression; develop greater confidence with peers and adults; and launch their own lifelong intellectual journey. Register now for next summer. Source: The Christian Science Monitor

hat do white tea, witch hazel and rose extract—long used as natural aids for preserving youth and well-being—have in common? They all possess potential health and beauty properties that could be simply too good to ignore, say scientists from London’s Kingston University. The researchers, working in collaboration with British beauty brand Neal’s Yard Remedies, tested 21 plant extracts and discovered that their naturally occurring substances may offer new treatments to block the progression of inflammation. The findings are promising as potential treatments for aging skin, as well as more serious illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, neurodegenerative conditions and cardiovascular and pulmonary problems. Using human cells as their model, the researchers applied three different concentrations of white tea (freezedried powder), witch hazel (dried herb) and rose extract (in a medicinal tincture) to see what effect the mixtures might have on suppressing the rogue enzymes and oxidants that play key roles in cellular inflammation and aging. All three remedies were remarkably effective in keeping inflammation in check. Whenever inflammation starts—whether as a simple cut to a finger, exposure to the sun, chemicals or pollutants, or irritation due to an arthritic joint—the body begins to produce a protein compound called interleukin 8 that exacerbates the process. The three substances tested appear to successfully interfere with this. White tea displayed the most marked results.

hen it comes to improving bone health in postmenopausal women—and people of all ages, for that matter—eating dried plums is a simple, proactive solution to help prevent fractures and osteoporosis, reports a Florida State University researcher. “During my career, I have tested numerous fruits, including figs, dates, strawberries and raisins, and none of them come anywhere close to having the effect on bone density that dried plums, or prunes, have,” says Bahram H. Arjmandi, The Florida State University’s Margaret A. Sitton Professor and chair of the Department of Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences. Arjmandi and his colleagues tested two groups of postmenopausal women over a 12-month period. The first group of 55 women consumed 100 grams of dried plums (about 10 prunes) each day, while the second, control group of 45 women ate 100 grams of dried apples. All participants also received daily doses of calcium (500 milligrams) and vitamin D (400 international units). The group that consumed dried plums had significantly higher bone mineral density in the ulna (one of two long bones in the forearm) and spine, compared with the group that ate dried apples. According to Arjmandi, this was due in part to the ability of dried plums to suppress the rate of bone resorption, or breakdown, which tends to exceed the rate of new bone growth as people age.
hat a new mom eats during her pregnancy affects her unborn baby’s immunity, especially vis-a-vis allergies, reports new research in The Journal of Physiology. The research found that if a mother’s diet contains a certain group of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as those found in fish, walnut oil or flaxseed, the baby’s gut develops differently. These substances are thought to improve the way gut immune cells respond to bacteria and foreign substances, making the baby less likely to suffer from allergies.

Healthy Eating, Family-Style
No-Fuss, Stay-Trim Strategies by Matthew Kadey
A
n exhausting routine of early morning wakeups, soccer practices and work deadlines makes it understandably easy to put healthy family eating on the back burner. As more time-strapped families adopt drive-through dining, it’s no surprise that weight scales nationwide are buckling under the pressure. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, more than a third of American adults are obese. But the expanding-waistline epidemic impacts far more than just the quality of life among adults. A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association states that 16 percent of children are either overweight or obese, with another 16 percent knocking on the door. According to Sally Phillips, a registered dietitian and nutrition expert at Ohio’s Akron Children’s Hospital, a child that has an unhealthy body www.na-sd.com
weight not only often has self-esteem issues, but is also at increased risk for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, elevated blood cholesterol and triglycerides, plus orthopedic challenges; all health problems that possibly could impact life expectancy. More, childhood obesity that progresses into adulthood has been linked to increased artery wall thickness—a marker for atherosclerosis. Because many overweight children become plump adults, lifestyle modification at an early age is vital. Try these no-fuss strategies from experts to overcome today’s pitfalls to attaining family nutrition.
The un-family meal
The sit-down meal is an endangered family function, thanks to hectic schedules, time spent with TV, video games, the Internet and other electronic devices, as well as the perceived
uncool factor of noshing with the folks. Yet studies show that family meals foster communication and usually lead to higher intakes of calcium- and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, plus lower amounts of unhealthy fats, sugar and sodium, says Keith-Thomas Ayoob, Ed.D., a registered dietitian and associate clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York. A supporting study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association confirmed that tykes that took in fewer family meals (and watched more TV) were more likely to be overweight. University of Minnesota researchers found that adolescent girls that ate often with their family were less prone to use cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. Try this: Commit to a sit-down meal most days of the week, suggests Registered Dietitian Brenda J. Ponichtera, author of Quick and Healthy Recipes and Ideas. Don’t overlook breakfast as potential family time as well, counsels Ayoob. “Kids that eat a well-balanced breakfast do better in school, have improved vitamin and mineral intake and are more likely to maintain a healthy body weight.”
Liquid calories
Today’s average American household obtains more than 20 percent of its daily calories from beverages; on average, soft drinks alone account for 8 percent of adolescents’ calorie intake. The rise in beverage consumption has mirrored the country’s slide toward rounder body shapes. “Satiety is less when you drink calories versus eating the same calories in foods, because drinks empty from the stomach quicker,” advises Phillips. “The extra calories from liquids can easily exceed what the body can use.” The worst culprits are “liquid candy” such as soda and energy, sport and sweetened fruit drinks. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Harvard researchers confirmed that a greater intake of these beverages leads to weight gain in adults and children. “Plus, most sweet-
ened drinks don’t have much nutritional value,” says Ayoob. Although they contain important vitamins, even fruit juices, such as orange, cranberry and apple, still pack a lot of concentrated sugars. Try this: Phillips recommends limiting empty-calorie sweetened beverages and replacing them with unsweetened choices like low-fat milk, homemade iced tea and filtered water jazzed up with lemon or lime. Keep daily intake of fruit juice between four to eight ounces, and focus on eating whole fruits, instead. “You can also freeze natural fruit juice in ice-cube trays,” says Phillips. “Pop these into [a glass of] water for a hint of sweet flavor.” Send children to school or camp with a reusable, BPAfree water container (stainless steel works well) so they get in the aquadrinking habit. Also consider stocking the fridge with refreshing, potassiumrich coconut water.
fied by food—which can happen when the family eats roast chicken for the fourth time in the same week—people are more likely to make midnight kitchen raids and add to their total calorie intake. Try this: Once a week, have a new-food-of-the-week meal, featuring healthy ingredients such as quinoa, lean bison or kale, paired with family favorites, to encourage branching out. “Don’t throw in the towel if your child emphatically refuses it at the start. Research shows that it can take 10 or more times before a new food is accepted by a finicky eater,” advises Phillips, a mother of two. She also suggests letting kids loose in the produce department to pick a new fresh item they are curious about, and then involving them in its preparation, so they are more likely to try it. “Or, substitute a familiar food, like apples, with pears,” Ayoob recommends.
Chicken again?
Snack attacks
Never before has such a variety of foods been more readily available. Still, too many families fall into the trap of preparing the same familiar eats— like spaghetti, chicken, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread—week in and week out. When children are repeatedly presented with the same foods, they don’t learn to appreciate new flavors and textures, which reinforces a picky palate and a fear of unfamiliar dishes, says Ayoob. From a body weight standpoint, an article published in Science suggests that when the brain isn’t grati-
With so much unhealthy snack food marketed toward kids, it’s easy for youngsters to graze their way to a bigger waistline. Findings shared by Italian university researchers in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition specifically link savory, energy-dense snack foods with childhood obesity. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that the percentage of American children eating three regular meals a day has decreased over the past 25 years, while consumption of high-calorie, snack-type foods has gone up.

“Unhealthy snacking can have an impact on academic performance, energy levels and weight,” Ayoob remarks. Try this: Don’t push the panic button if a child looks a little heavy while he or she is still growing, but it never hurts to give the household pantry and fridge an overhaul. First, get rid of nutrient-devoid chips, cookies and soda. “Replace them with healthier, portable fuel like nuts, baby carrots, low-fat string cheese and cottage cheese, yogurt and dried fruit,” suggests Ayoob. This does away with the good-versus-bad food battle on the home front. Ponichtera likes keeping a bowl of varicolored seasonal fruit on the counter for when kids return home ravenous. She also recommends offering sliced veggies and fruit with tasty and nutritious yogurt, guacamole or hummus dip, or making after-school smoothies, using frozen fruit, healthy, low-fat milk and yogurt. Because watching TV—including commercials extolling unhealthy foods—provides prime opportunities for mindless snacking (various studies link excess TV time with elevated body fat), consider pulling the plug after an hour. If snacking must be done in front of the tube, Ponichtera likes natural, unbuttered popcorn, deeming it excellent because it’s whole-grain, low in calories and high in filling fiber.
Meals in a hurry
The desire for something quick may be why half of total U.S. food expenditures today go to meals prepared outside the home. Studies suggest that the more we purchase fast food, the greater our girth. “This should come as no surprise, because what is often ordered is mostly out-of-control portions, higher in calories, fat, sugar and salt, than what would be served at home,” says Ayoob. Even shunning the all-too-familiar drive-through for a smarter option could pack on pounds. Researchers reported in the Journal of Consumer Research that an individual is likely to underestimate the calories in a meal marketed by a restaurant as healthier, 20
San Diego Edition
www.na-sd.com
than those in a meal from a perceived offender. This mistake often leads to overeating through purchasing extra or bigger side orders, suggest the study’s authors. University of Minnesota research suggests that adolescent members of families that rely on fewer than three purchased meals per week are more likely to consume healthier beverages and vegetables with meals and less prone to indulge in soda and chips at home. Try this: Skip the fast food outlets and open The Joy of Cooking. “Preparing more home-cooked meals is all about planning and implementing time-saving strategies,” says Ponichtera. Take time during the weekend to create dinner menus for the coming week, with input from all family members, and make a detailed grocery list to facilitate an efficient visit to the health food store and grocery. Ponichtera also stresses the, “Cook once, serve twice,” trick, where home chefs purposely double the recipe and plan to serve leftovers later, adding different sides for variety. When time is at a premium, tossing ingredients for stews or chilies into a slow cooker in the morning is a tasty and healthy option. “Always have a few homemade dishes that can be easily warmed up, such as lasagna, soups and casseroles, in your freezer,” adds Ponichtera. It also works to freeze leftovers in lunch-size containers to take to work. On days when family members have time to cook, make salads and dressings (served on the side) or bean, vegetable and whole-grain side dishes ahead of time, so they will be ready accompaniments for the coming week’s entrées. “Involving children in the meal prep not only saves parents time,” reflects Ponichtera, “but also teaches kids valuable cooking skills they might otherwise lack.” Everybody wins.

THE ADD CHILD It Doesn’t Get More Vibrant Than This! by Jef Gazley
C
hildren with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are labeled long before they come to an understanding of the term ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). From a very early age they are told that they are unfocused, distracted, lazy, nervous, unable to sit still, undisciplined, stupid, rebellious, or that they just don’t care. When teachers or parents are putting a good spin on things they will label the ADD child as a dreamer or having a great imagination. This is very understandable because the fallout of having ADHD is huge. The ADD child is chaotic, spontaneous and has trouble following through on tasks or simply paying attention. This confuses adults because the ADD child acts erratically. Sometimes they can pay attention even better than other children and when they like a subject they usually excel. Adults make sense out of this by assuming the child is lazy or rebellious. What isn’t discussed or generally known is how smart most children with ADD really are. Many of our greatest thinkers such as Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton, and our most famous entrepreneurs, such as Henry Ford, had ADD. The mind of an ADD child is often amazingly creative, spontaneous and dynamic. People with ADD are often more likely to take risks and see things in novel ways. Certainly this can lead to failure, but it often ends in success and pushes the bounds of human knowledge. Recent research has suggested that a variant of the gene DRD4, called 7R allele, is associated with noveltyseeking in addition to ADHD. This might well have helped man during his nomadic existence and made him more successful than others who did www.na-sd.com
not possess this gene. Luckily, treating ADHD appropriately does not dull these gifts, but rather gives the ADD child or adult more control and choice over when it is appropriate to take a risk and go with their intuition, or when it is not. To appropriately manage symptoms often associated with ADD it is important to exercise, eat a protein rich diet while shunning simple carbohydrates, regularly take vitamins and supplements, follow the behavioral protocol for ADD, and engage in a self-disciplinary activity like martial arts or yoga. However, this will only manage 30 percent of the symptoms. The remaining 70 percent has to be managed by stimulant medication and/or effective natural supplementation. Jef Gazley, M.S., LMFT, has practiced psychotherapy for over 35 years. He is the author of 13 mental health educational videos and DVDs and is currently writing a book on distance counseling. In his private practice in Scottsdale, Arizona, Gazley specializes in ADD, love addiction, hypnotherapy, dysfunctional families, codependency, and trauma. He is the developer of ADD-care which is an all-natural supplement that reduces the symptoms consistent with ADHD as well as the stimulants.

INVESTING IN MAIN STREET Cities, Schools and Churches Move their Money to Local Economies by Rebecca Leisher
S
ince the big corporate banks contributed to crashing the economy in 2008, news sources report that they’ve been rewarded with bailouts, tax breaks and executive bonuses, while American workers have lost jobs and homes. There is little wonder that many Americans— and now, institutions and local governments—have been closing their accounts at these corporate banks and transferring the money to community banks and credit unions. The intent is to send a strong message about responsibility to government and Wall Street, while supporting institutions that genuinely stimulate local economies. The first Bank Transfer Day, last November, was publicized over five weeks, largely through social networks. During that period, credit unions received an estimated $4.5 billion in new deposits transferred from banks, according to the Credit Union National Association. Citizens are calling for financial institutions to be accountable, encouraged by the popularity of the Move Your Money campaign. Schools, churches and local governments across the country have been transferring large
sums, or at least considering doing so, in order to invest in local economies instead of Wall Street. Last year, the city of San Jose, California, moved nearly $1 billion from the Bank of America because of the bank’s high record of home foreclosures. City council members linked foreclosures to lost tax revenue, reduced services and layoffs, and urged other U.S. cities to follow their example. The Seattle, Washington, city council responded to the Occupy Wall Street movement by unanimously passing a resolution to review its banking and investment practices, “…to ensure that public funds are invested in responsible financial institutions that support our community.” Officials in Los Angeles, New York City and Portland, Oregon, are discussing proposals that address how and where city funds are invested. Massachusetts launched the Small Business Banking Partnership initiative last year to leverage small business loans, and has already deposited $106 million in state reserve funds into community banks. Student activists and the Responsible Endowments Coalition are urging colleges and universities—some of which have assets comparable to those of a town or city— to move at least a portion of their endowments from Wall Street. The Peralta Community College District, in California, with an annual budget of $140 million, has done just that. The district’s board of trustees voted unanimously last November to move its assets into community banks and credit unions. Churches and faith organizations are moving their money, too. Congregations in the California interfaith coalition LA Voice vowed to divest $2 million from Wells Fargo and the Bank of America, ending a 200-year relationship with the big banks. The Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, in East San Jose, pulled $3 million out of the Bank of America and reinvested the funds into Micro Branch, a division of Self-Help Federal Credit Union, designed to assist underserved communities. Moving money to where banking practices and investments are transparent is the most effective action. Oregon Banks Local represents small businesses, family farms and community banks. It offers a website tool that ranks local banks and credit unions on such criteria as where they are headquartered, jobs created and the extent of local investment, showing which financial institutions truly serve local communities. “People from all walks of life are angry at the banks,” says Ilana Berger, co-director of The New Bottom Line, a national campaign that promotes moving money from Wall Street. But the broad appeal of this grassroots movement toward financial reform is based on more than anger or strategy. “It’s a way to move our money to follow our values,” says Berger. “It’s an opportunity to really protest against the banks, but also a way to show what we want them to be.” Freelance writer Rebecca Leisher originated this article as part of “9 Strategies to End Corporate Rule,” for the Spring 2012 issue of YES! magazine. natural awakenings

Balance Blesses Our Youth Wise Parenting Insights from Wendy Mogel by Meredith Montgomery
C
Race to Nowhere reveals the problems associated
with America’s academic testing culture. What are the most critical weaknesses of today’s public school system? It is breaking my heart to see enrichment programs sacrificed on the altar of standardized testing and such extreme focus on the core academic skills. We certainly want our children to have these skills, but we are losing sight of how much is learned through play, imagination, art and music. High school students feel tremendous pressure to succeed. It seems that as a society, we are displacing our own anxieties about the unstable economy and the condition of the planet onto our children. As we try to arm them with a set of skills to face an uncertain future, we are also losing sight of who they are as individuals. Too often we photo by Brad Buckman
linical Psychologist and author Wendy Mogel, Ph.D., is known for the practical parenting advice featured in her books, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus. She is a leading expert appearing in Race to Nowhere, a documentary film examining the achievement-obsessed culture permeating America’s schools, and serves on the advisory board of Challenge Success, an organization that supports schools and families in reversing and preventing the unhealthy tolls assessed by our current educational system. Speaking from the perspective of her “compassionate detachment” philosophy, Mogel explores the educational challenges that students face today and offers some solutions.
How are such blind spots affecting our youths? Students are paying the price for the pressure being put on them on multiple levels: Heavy backpacks are damaging their spines, sleep deprivation interferes with their learning process and expectation of perfection can lead to girls with eating disorders and demoralized boys with a desire to give up. I routinely speak with students that feel compelled to personally end hunger in Rwanda while they must also score high grades in several advanced placement classes, excel in multiple extracurricular activities and maintain a slender figure. Some of these same high school kids tell me they fear that scoring a B- on a quiz may cause their parents to divorce or drive their mothers into depression, partly based on some sense that adult pride and security rest on their children’s accomplishment.
What can teachers do to facilitate healthy learning environments? While teachers can set an example of work-life balance, exuberance and involvement for young people, healthy teacher-parent relationships are vital, as well. Anxious parents can sometimes act like bullies to teachers when they are concerned about their child’s success. I encourage teachers to work with parents in a respectful and diplo-

What advice do you have for parents of young children? Encourage learning via this wonderful, natural world. Children are natural theologians, biologists, seekers of social justice, artists, poets and above all, explorers and inventors. We serve children well if we see them as seeds that came in a packet without a label. Our job is to provide sufficient food and water and pull the biggest weeds. We don’t know what kind of flower we’ll get or when it will bloom.
How can parents foster learning and success in all of their children at home? A big piece of a parent’s responsibility is to clearly see each of their children for who they are, independent of parental preconceptions and dreams, and to foster that individual’s strengths and enthusiasm for life, instead of struggling to fit him or her into society’s narrow definitions of success. A snapshot taken of a child today should not be confused with the epic movie of his or her entire life. Good parents model balance; but the default position in our culture has become overindulgence, overprotection, overscheduling and expectations of perfection. When parents pick their kids up from school, instead of crossexamining them about test scores and who they sat with at lunch, a mom or dad can share something delightful about their own day; something interesting they saw or did or thought that reminded them of their son or daughter. Communicate that it’s a pleasure to be a parent and an adult. Show them that as grownups, we continue to learn new things. Inspire them to want to be happy adults and parents.

SOCCER’S A KICK FOR FAMILY FITNESS Summer Olympics Highlights the Excitement by Randy Kambic
In many other countries, soccer is known as football, or even “the beautiful game,” because the grace and style of play is often considered as important as the final score. While less popular than other professional sports in this country, soccer’s suitability and benefits for today’s children have spawned its own American subculture. www.transitiontherapist.com

ith the 2012 Summer Olympic Games underway from July 27 through August 12, in London, many soccer moms and dads will be watching live or recorded matches with their children gathered around the TV. Among the 28 national male and female teams competing internationally, the U.S. women’s team brings special excitement as the defending Olympic champions in their division. Their shared enthusiasm is sure to inspire some family soccer ball kick-around action in the yard or a local park. Soccer is an ideal physical outlet for boys and girls because it’s considerably less violent than football; provides

a great cardio workout; builds thought processes in employing strategies; instills teamwork, camaraderie and sportsmanship; and can facilitate meeting youngsters of various backgrounds. It also provides an easy and enjoyable way for parents to get some exercise while bonding with their children. US Youth Soccer, as part of the U.S. Soccer Federation, the national governing body, involves 3 million-plus youngsters ages 5 through 19 in soccer leagues, camps and local programs annually. Its yearly Youth Soccer Month, in September, will feature many community events, tips and discussions. Susan Boyd, of Mequon, Wisconsin, spent 15 years taking two of her sons to and from practices and matches
from junior games all the way through high school teams. “Every time they play is a highlight for me,” she says. “Win, lose or draw, they have such a passion for the game. You all get caught up in the power of the play and the magic of the moment.” A part-time writing instructor at Carroll University, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Boyd has been posting weekly parental advice blogs on USYouthSoccer.org for four years. One suggests that if field conditions are damp, parents should bring gallon-size baggies to protect the car’s floor from the mud of soccer shoes, plus a change of clothes for the players. In another, she asks parents “not to be snooty or pompous” if their child’s team is better than the opposition and to “have more patience with referees that don’t meet your standard of perfection in calls.” Because soccer calls for nearconstant movement—running with or toward the ball or walking into a better position on the field—it’s an effective antidote to childhood obesity. The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition (Fitness.gov) suggests that children get one hour or more a day in either moderate or vigorous aerobic physical activity. For adults, the recommendation is at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. Playing or practicing soccer skills definitely meets the criteria. Last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics Association (HealthyChildren. org) cited soccer as a way for children to be physically active while they learn
teamwork and sportsmanship. It also noted that the most common player injuries are minor sprains and strains, followed by bruises. Boyd advises, “Most of these require rest, ice, compression and elevation for the injured area, and a week away from the sport. Don’t rush children back onto the field; think long-term.” Current and longtime U.S. national Olympic team member Christie Rampone, of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, notes that because soccer doesn’t involve the hands, “Youngsters get used to using other, different muscle groups, allowing for optimal strength and coordination.” She suggests that parents have children also note some non-action elements of the sport, such as the communication occurring on the soccer field. Even when people in the stands are loudly shouting encouragement, players are talking with each other and using body language to enhance their team play. “Point out to kids the positive emotions and energy expressed when things don’t go well. Even though the game can be frustrating at times, learn from how the players stay poised and focused throughout the match.” For more information, also visit USSoccer.com and nbcOlympics.com.

SOCCER AS A FAMILY AFFAIR Here are some ways small groups of two or more soccer neophytes can join in the fun. n Start by using the sides of the feet at a 90-degree angle to the path of the ball
and tap it back and forth. n Soon, start using more of the instep in kicking the ball to lift it into the air a
little. Also, when “trapping” (controlling) the ball, pull a foot or leg back slightly upon contact, so that it settles closer. n With three people, arrange everyone in a triangle. Later, slightly changing posi-
tions can further improve ball passing and controlling abilities. n Play “keep away,” with a third person in-between the other two. n Eventually, start juggling—keeping the ball aloft and glancing off the feet,
thighs, chest and head (no hands)—thus expanding basic skills and providing a progressive number of hits without drops for each player to keep trying to surpass. natural awakenings

hen Kaitlin Crocker arrived in North Grafton, Massachusetts, at Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006, she met up with another new arrival, a 3-year-old beagle named Daisy. Usually such dogs are acquired from research facilities so that students can perform physical health exams and work to socialize them. Crocker notes, “Daisy might never have been outside before; she was afraid of the door, the steps and big dogs. I was glad to see that once her nose took over, she decided a walk was kind of fun.” Tufts dogs are typically available for adoption afterward, and Daisy moved in with Crocker’s parents, until Crocker finished school. “Daisy got along well with our family dog, Hawk. She adjusted to home life, especially www.na-sd.com
after we added lights in the back yard, because she was afraid of the dark,” recalls her mother. After graduation, the newly minted veterinarian married and found a house with a nice yard for Daisy. The dog’s only apparent problem so far has been with a hissing feline called Gracie, whom Daisy has decided to ignore. Daisy’s next adjustment will be the arrival of a human baby; one of Crocker’s girlfriends is aiding the preparation by bringing her baby to visit, so Daisy can learn about bottles, diapers and crying infants. After Jessica Albon’s apartment building was sold, she and her Labrador retriever, Izzy, relocated to a 300-square-foot apartment on her parent’s property, with shared kitchen facilities. “It caused some friction,”
admits this Winston-Salem website designer and owner of Thrive Your Tribe. “Two-year-old Izzy was full of energy, and our ideas of training differed.” Albon couldn’t find an apartment willing to take a large pet, so her answer was to buy a house. Business travel from New York also takes Steven Rice, a vice president at public relations firm Harrison & Shriftman, away from his rescue dog, Samantha. Then, “My parents get the fun of having a dog around without the full-time commitment,” says Rice, “while Samantha enjoys the change from a city apartment to a large backyard.” The dog has favorite toys, her regular food and her own bed nearby, so she feels right at home. In the case of divorce, courts routinely treat pets as property, rather than family, although attitudes are changing as judges recognize the emotional attachment of both parties. Attorneys encourage couples to decide where the pet will live. “During our divorce, the issue of who would get custody of our beagle almost took us by surprise,” says David Bakke, the Atlanta-based online editor of Money Crashers Personal Finance, headquartered in Chicago. “We were so involved in the issues of child custody, alimony and child support that we didn’t discuss Rocky until
late in the process.” “My wife got primary custody of our children. We decided it would be in the best interests of both our dog and our kids that they live together,” Bakke says. “When they visit me, they bring Rocky with them. I miss him, but I also know this is best for everyone else.” When children are not an issue, pets can become a primary concern in divorces. “We never had children and our Yorkshire terrier, Clover, became our substitute,” says Courtney Karem, marketing director at the Bougainvillea Clinique, in Winter Park, Florida. “My ex-husband eventually moved a few hours away, but we arrange for him to see Clover, who lives with me.” In acrimonious divorce cases, matrimonial Attorney Rachel Weis-
man, founder of Weisman Law Group, in New York City, has dealt with pet ownership. There have been occasions where a spouse denies rightful visitation before custody is determined or even gives the pet away without consensual agreement. If there is a possibility of abuse, a protective order for the animal can be obtained, advises Weisman. The core question is what is the key to the pet’s health and happiness? Times of change are stressful for all concerned, but can be made easier for pets by keeping their interests in mind, just as one would with beloved children.

Supplements Can Help With Inflammation by Thierry Lerond
A
nti-inflammatory supplements seem to be at the top of many shopping lists. These days, people are educating themselves and understanding that inflammation just isn’t something that occurs after an injury. It can be more serious than that. Inflammation is a side effect in the human body that people want to get control over before it gets control over them. Those who prefer natural supplements are researching fish oils as one method to reduce inflammation. When finding a supplement, it’s
best to locate a company backed by clinical studies. The top supplements to help with inflammation are: • shark liver oil • wild, organic fucoidan containing seaweed • wild Antarctic krill oil These supplements are necessary in a daily diet. Inflammation is the body’s normal response to either injury or germ invasion. The effects which come from it may be a combination of pain, heat and redness. The body

responds to this injury by forcing the immune system to work hard. Although this is a normal response, sometimes the immune system gets confused and attacks the body, like in cases of arthritis. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis fall under this category. There’s also a medical term floating out there called “whole-body inflammation.” This means that an ongoing low level of inflammation may become chronic, and over a long period of time, people may face ailments such as heart disease, depression, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity and much more. Marine supplements have been proven to be one of the best natural anti-inflammatory ways to treat this disorder because it boosts the immune system. A healthy immune system is a critical shield. Remember, not all supplements are the same so buy high quality. The ocean is abundant with medicinal finds which help people with an array of inflammatory conditions. Feeling healthier and more energized is only a supplement away. Thierry Lerond is the founder of the marine-based supplement company Nutrilys Del Mar in San Diego.

Secondhand Smoke:
A Killer by Dr. Ginger Marable
I
t is widely known that smoking is the number one avoidable cause of disease and death worldwide; the UN World Health Organization estimates that tobacco-related deaths will reach one billion this century. But secondhand smoke, known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), is also a killer. ETS contains more than 250 toxic and cancer-causing chemicals, including arsenic, cyanide, formaldehyde, benzene, vinyl chloride and ammonia. The American Lung Association estimates that ETS causes
about 3,000 American non-smokers a year to die from lung cancer and up to 70,000 from heart disease. Children are particularly vulnerable to ETS, with up to 325,000 annual cases of bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and ear and respiratory infections, requiring up to 15,000 hospitalizations. Babies born to smoking mothers tend to have lower birth weight, weak lungs, and higher mortality rates, including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Children exposed to ETS make more trips to the doctor and have ia cad Lu on he rket t t a a us s M ys See armer unda S F
more difficulty in school. Dr. Mehmet Oz recently claimed that for every four cigarettes the adults smoke, children nearby smoke one. In 2007, SB7 prohibited adults from smoking in vehicles when minors are passengers. In 1994, the Smoke-Free Workplace Act, AB 13, prohibited smoking in businesses, including restaurants and bars in California. ETS was recently declared a toxic air contaminant by the California Air Resources Board. In fact, the Surgeon General has declared that there is no risk-free level of exposure to ETS. Rooms contaminated by ETS can have pollution levels six times higher than a busy highway. Nicotine can stay in a room for up to two weeks. Trying to avoid ETS by opening a window, turning on a fan, or using air fresheners does little to diminish the dangers of ETS. How can you protect yourself and others from ETS? Don’t smoke in your home or car, especially around children. Quit for yourself and your loved ones, and help others who are trying to quit. Ginger Marable, owner of Absolutely Smoke Free—1 Hour!, holds a PhD in Human Behavior and is a Certified Hypnotherapist/Smoking Cessation Specialist. Her one-hour smoke-free hypnosis system has a 95 percent success rate and a lifetime guarantee. For more information, visit AbsolutelySmokeFree.com, or call 760-420-2279. See ad on page 43.

magine a hammock hanging in between two huge palm trees on the most beautiful island setting you have even seen. You love to relax on that hammock every day in peace and comfort while the ocean breeze brushes over you. You want the hammock to last a lifetime so you can enjoy this beautiful place. But without proper care and maintenance, issues may arise causing the hammock to malfunction, ruining your peace and tranquility. After this bright self-visualization exercise, let’s address what the real story is here. We are not talking about a hammock made of rope to support your lounging beach body. In fact we are talking about a gathering of muscles, ligaments and tendons creating a hammock in your pelvis called the pelvic floor. Not quite as tropical and fun as a hammock, but extremely important to the structure of our core and our overall well-being. Over time certain activities such as excessive coughing and sneezing, child-birth, inactivity and aging can cause the pelvic floor to weaken and cause problems just like a hammock may begin to tear or sag if not properly cared for. Some problems that may result from a weakened pelvic floor include incontinence and dropping of the organs into the muscle, ligament, tendon pelvic floor (MLT Hammock). See, the MLT Hammock is the founda-
20% OFF tion of the core. The MLT hammock supports the major organs in the lower abdominal cavity and stabilizes the pelvis. A supported pelvis equals a supported spine and helps fight back pain and postural imbalances. Strengthening these pelvic floor muscles (MLT Hammock) are an important role for both men and women to protect themselves from these problems. One great way to improve strength in your pelvic floor is through Pilates. Pilates focus is on strengthening the body’s powerhouse or core by tightening the pelvic floor muscles by lifting up and in with the abdominals. Visualization is a strong component of Pilates practice. To engage the pelvic floor, consider visualizing a beam of energy coming up from the sand under the hammock, up to the midline of the body, and pulling out of the head. With Pilates practice you are utilizing the mind and body with breath, visualization and exercise to strengthen the pelvic floor, the core, and the whole body.
