“For 42 years we searched for something to take care of Restless Leg Syndrome. Not only does this product work but it works instantly! It’s Terriﬁc. I recommend it to anyone who has this problem.” - Robert- Nebraska

Now you can end Sleep Apnea , Restless Legs and Leg Cramps and get a good Night’s sleep – night after night. Hi, I’m Steve Frank and I suffered from sleep apnea for years, so I know exactly what you’re going through. I even tried the CPAP machine but I could not sleep with anything strapped to my face. It was a serious problem and I was determined to find an answer. As an herbalist, I diligently pursued a group of herbs that would correct this problem and thank goodness, my persistence paid off! My patent-pending formulation has helped thousands and I use it every night. Now you can try it too! My Mom asked me what to do about persistent leg cramps. She had tried all the suggested supplements but still had problems. I put together a group of herbs to relax nerves, reduce tension and increase circulation. It worked great for her! Later, I found that it works for Restless Legs as well. Now you can use it too.

You owe it to yourself & your spouse to try these great products!

letter from publisher

omen’s Wellness surrounds me, as does women’s empowerment. Our May issue is devoted to women—all kinds of amazing mothers, aunts, nieces, sisters, wives, friends, and of course, our Mother Earth. I’m in gratitude for the women networks I belong to and help sponsor. I wish I had time to be in more of them. I always leave with a feeling of empowerment, vulnerability and a compelling reason to strive to be a better person and help create a healthier, happier environment. It’s difficult to stand up and tell your truth. However, it’s the truth that brings us peace and is often the impetus for much-needed change. It’s time for us all to remove those emotional elephants that stampede our hearts and homes and make room for healthy transitions. We may get run over some in the process, but we shall prevail. After all, they’re just emotional elephant stampedes and we all know that shedding tears can be very healing. Releasing that which no longer serves us is truly a gift. Did you know elephants cry? In my past, I’ve often been told to “suck it up.” Well, I tell you what, that term should be relegated only to vacuum cleaners—not in dealing with human emotions. We must be able to empty the bag somewhere, sometime. Otherwise it gets buried under the rug and creates further strife down the line. What comes to my mind is our new understanding of the feminine and the masculine. (More on the masculine side in our upcoming June’s men's wellness issue.) Outside of my women networks and friends, I surround myself with healthy men friends who respect, recognize and truly honor the feminine power. As mentioned in the article "Healing the Hard Stuff " (see page 18), this pertains to the shift in thinking. I don’t really believe men are from Mars (although, I do feel as I have known some men Martians in my time) and women are from Venus. Yes, we may think differently because we are people and there are undoubtedly gender differences, but it’s not always gender related. A giant paradigm shift is happening. Those who choose not to see it or engage in it, you’re missing out. We have choices and I’m ever so happy to deliver these choices to my readership. I’ve been self-diagnosing and healing myself with the knowledge and strength I receive from my loyal and faithful community partners. I believe in both Eastern and Western medicine as I do in both women and men. They are all needed for a healthy existence. Natural open-minded approaches resolve major illnesses and relationships. There is no one right answer or tactic. There is just us humans trying to survive in a rapidly changing and challenging times. Check in with your vulnerability, your truth and all the natural ways to heal and prevent illness. Whether you choose acupuncture, Rolfing, drinking alkaline water, Ayurvedic nutrition, or a combination of those and many other healing modalities, there is a giant list of remedies for us all. I thank you, empowered women, for being forthright and feminine without burning bras and or bridges.

Gentle Manual Therapy in Solana Beach

eborah Ortiz, CMT, founder of Inherent Wellness in Solana Beach, practices CranioSacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation, two forms of gentle manual therapy. “In our high-demand, modern lives, the nervous system can be quickly overloaded, which creates imbalance in many ways, including headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, fatigue, hormone imbalance, chronic neck and back pain, as well as anxiety,” she says. Ortiz’s work encourages the movement and health of the body and facilitates its parasympathetic response to stress, allowing for deep restoration. “CranioSacral Therapy works directly with the central nervous system and addresses restrictions of the spine, head bones and sacrum. Visceral Manipulation evaluates the organs and facilitates proper function, movement and digestive health,” she says. “The body responds incredibly well to this work because it encourages its natural resilience rather than being a quick fix,” affirms Ortiz, who believes that more people than ever are ready to be educated on more holistic approaches to their health and well-being.” Inherent Wellness is located at 243 N. Hwy. 101, Ste. 13 in Solana Beach. For more information, call 619-218-2333 or visit CranialWellness.com.

Alkaline Skin Wash Useful for Many Skin Conditions

andy Vidales, founder of Skincare by Candy, in Carlsbad, loves the myriad of applications for DMK’s Alkaline Wash system. “This powerful and amazing system is useful for so many skin conditions,” she affirms. This pain-free treatment delivers rapid results in skin revision for treating acne, rosacea, hyper pigmentation, brown spots and hair removal—including downy hair. It can be used on anyone, at any age, anywhere on their face or body, and it delivers real, lasting results.” DMK’s unique formula is mixed into a paste and applied to the skin. “It takes the pH of the skin from a pH of 5.6 to a pH of 12 in under three minutes. It can be used as a pain-free alternative to waxing. Because this treatment softens and plumps the skin, it works great on scar tissue, facial hair, razor bumps, back acne and any unwanted hair on the body without the use of harmful acids,” explains Vidales. DMK’s Alkaline Wash also helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of stretch marks and pigmentation spots, erase the effects of sun damage and more. “There are dozens of uses and unlimited applications,” says Vidales. “Call me to discuss your skincare needs.” Candy Vidales, founder of Skincare by Candy in Carlsbad, specializes in advanced skincare, acne, peels, age-management and non-surgical facelifts.

Love Rocks

The British supermarket chain Iceland is planning to eliminate or drastically reduce plastic packaging for more than 1,000 of its house-label products by the end of 2023, switching to paperbased trays instead. Nigel Broadhurst, joint managing director of Iceland, explains that the typical ready meal was packaged in a particularly bad way. “It is currently in a black plastic tray. That black plastic is the worst possible option in terms of toxins going into the ground and the ability to recycle that product.” He also notes that instead of the usual plastic bag, grocers could put netting around a bunch of apples the same as with oranges. Iceland’s research found that 80 percent of shoppers would endorse a supermarket’s move to go plastic-free.

Artistically decorated rocks featuring inspirational messages are turning up in Mobile, Alabama, and along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline as part of The Kindness Rocks Project (TheKindnessRocksProject. com). Anyone can paint rocks and “plant” them for someone else to discover. Likewise, everyone is invited to hunt for kindness rocks. Those that find a rock are free to take it, plant it somewhere else or leave it for someone else to find. The grassroots movement was created to spread inspiration and motivation for unsuspecting recipients through the random placement of the rocks in public spaces. The goal is to encourage others to find creative ways to reach out and brighten someone else’s day unexpectedly, whether it’s through kindness rocks, love notes or random acts of generosity.

Meds in Urban Streams Drive Microbial Resistance

A new study published in the journal Ecosphere confirms that in urban streams, persistent pharmaceutical pollution can cause aquatic microbial communities to become resistant to drugs. Researchers evaluated the presence of pharmaceuticals, including painkillers, stimulants, antihistamines and antibiotics, in four streams in Baltimore, Maryland. Then they measured the microbial response to drug exposure. Selected study sites represented a gradient of development from suburban to urban. Emma Rosi, an aquatic ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and lead author on the study, explains, “Wastewater treatment facilities are not equipped to remove many pharmaceutical compounds. We were interested in how stream microorganisms, which perform key ecosystem services like removing nutrients and breaking down leaf litter, respond to pharmaceutical pollution. When we expose streams to pharmaceutical pollution, we are unwittingly altering their microbial communities, yet little is known about what this means for ecological function and water quality.”

Temporary Protection

Locals Prevail Against Bristol Bay Mine

Alaskan mining critics cheered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decision to maintain an existing policy not to permit the Northern Dynasty Minerals’ Pebble copper and gold mine in Bristol Bay. They maintain that the project’s toxic byproducts would threaten fisheries and other natural resources. Alannah Hurley, with United Tribes of Bristol Bay, a group opposing the mine, has said that members of the tribes she represents are willing to lie down in front of bulldozers to protect the waters. She notes, “Ideally, we would like these [protections] finalized, and the battle to protect Bristol Bay from the Pebble Mine and mines like Pebble is far from over. But the fact that these protections remain in place and can be used within the process is a very positive step in the effort to protect the Bristol Bay watershed for generations to come.”

Those interested in learning more about disease prevention, anti-aging, better athletic performance and proven superior hydration will want to learn more about H2 HydrogenRich Water. The gist of the lengthy proof, collected from more than 1,000 pages of medical research, is this: “Molecular hydrogen (H2), unlike other antioxidants, truly crosses into the center of cells (the energy tank) to remove toxins and protect the body from daily free radical damage.” For the top 100 hospitals in Japan who have been using H2 HydrogenRich Water since the '60s for their patients, this is nothing new. This H2 water was approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health—a team of 6,500 doctors— for its ability to reduce inflammation, flood the body with antioxidants, and its capacity to bring the body "back into balance" so it can protect against further free radical damage. The process of ionization was originally created by Russian scientist in the 1940s studying long-lived populations in the Himalayas and then later perfected by the Japanese. The method for producing hydrogen rich water is created by water flowing over titanium plates which imparts a charge—similar to the charge carried by streams and rivers—with the end product creating millions of antioxidant-free hydrogen with documented health benefits.

causes of illness, rather than simply treat symptoms, has been garnering increasing interest by the public and pioneering medical professionals. It’s now maturing into personalized functional medicine.

New Standard of Care

PERSONALIZED HEALTH CARE Functional Medicine Leads the Way by Linda Sechrist

Historical Overview During the last 25 years, a less drug-based grassroots model for dealing with chronic illnesses in the U.S. has emerged. First labeled holistic, the movement gained momentum as alternative approaches morphed into being considered complementary to conventional medicine, warranting studies by the National Institutes of Health. Responding to public interest, an integrative model of care that focuses on the whole person has taken root in medical institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio. The latest evolution to a systems-oriented, patient-focused clinical model of functional medicine, which seeks to address

One of the best-prepared, traditionally trained medical professionals in explaining this approach is Jeffrey S. Bland, Ph.D., recognized as the father of functional medicine, and author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer and Happier Life. He co-founded, with his wife, Susan, the Institute for Functional Medicine, in Washington, which provides a system geared to understanding the complexity of chronic illness and design individualized programs for more effective healing. “Medical science didn’t have the advanced technology 25 years ago to perform the research that now helps us better understand the complexity of chronic illness, as well as our present ecological view of the body. Today we’re examining how all the networks of our biology intersect in a dynamic process that creates health when in balance or disease when out of balance,” attests Bland, whose career has focused on searching for a unifying principle behind all healing that can be used to discern the best possible therapy for specific individuals. Incorporating what he learned from Linus Pauling, Ph.D., two-time Nobel Prize laureate, and Lee Hood, M.D., Ph.D., as well as systems biology and practicing lifestyle medicine, Bland founded the nonprofit Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute (PLMInstitute.org) in 2012. Seeking to transform the entire medical approach to chronic illness, the Seattle-based organization is a virtual and onsite hub for health professionals, researchers, educators and the public to share ideas and converse about how personalized functional medicine can be delivered to everyone as an improved standard of care.

Role of Genetics The National Human Genome Research Institute, in Bethesda, Maryland, maintains that an evolved approach to medicine starts with using an individual’s genetic profile to determine the

best path to preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases. By 2003, scientists had delivered the first essentially complete sequence and map of all the genes in the human body. Three decades ago, the medical fraternity had few reliable explanations for the origins of chronic health issues. Today, accepted factors include predispositions for a specific disease related to an individual’s genome, along with contemporary epigenetic influences such as nutrition, environment and lifestyle. None of these elements, however, necessarily define our destiny. “This genomic personalized medicine approach is creating friends among all healing arts practitioners because it facilitates our using information to design a less-toxic environment, lifestyle, diet and treatment to meet an individual’s specific needs and particular circumstances that led to a disease,” says Bland. “Diseases are only names assigned to a collection of symptoms,” says Bland. “They don’t indicate how the individual became afflicted. If 10 patients with Type 2 diabetes each had epigenetic variations that triggered getting the condition, it would be unwise to treat them all the same; it’s far better to treat those factors that specifically led to the disease.” Addressing the concern that genetic test results might be used to deny someone health insurance, Bland notes, “This is a significant misunderstanding about genetic testing. Our genes don’t tell us how we are going to die. They tell us how we should live. Understanding how our genes can help us live to 100 is a model of enlightenment. Those that practice this systems biology approach are counting on functional personalized medicine becoming the updated standard of care.” Physicians often offer genetic testing services. At-home DNA testing can be done using a saliva collection kit mailed to a laboratory, offering both ancestry and health information that must be interpreted by an informed professional.

The Four Ways I Breathed New Life into My Business and You Can, Too by Tina Buchanan

ith the next quarter upon us, it’s the perfect time to refresh and reboot your business. This fourstep process certainly breathed new life into mine.

I made this shift in my mind, things aligned suddenly, as if by magic. I am now able to move forward knowing that I already have all of the abundance I need and am open to receiving it!

Charge what you are worth. With my mindset on the mend, I’ve changed Carmenza David and Tina Buchanan the way I structure payment Get rid of your limiting for services. Not charging my worth beliefs. How many times have you ties directly into the “lack” belief I no played out the same old story in your longer have. I know my services are valuthoughts or in your life? Success in busiable—often critical. My prices have been ness and in life, for that matter, starts with changed to reflect it. There are always mastering your mental chatter. I know, people who are going to object at any for me I have spent most of my life living price point. Some people choose Walmart in a “lack” mindset. I fully and constantly because it’s cheaper and some people shop believed I didn’t have enough money and at Neiman Marcus. When you undervalue that I never would or could. Over the yourself, you aren’t doing your customer past several months, after launching my any favors. When you charge your worth, business then losing both of my grandyou empower yourself to provide the very parents, I began rigorously studying the best service. Law of Attraction and my mindset. Since

Revamp your business relationships. This ties directly to charging your worth. My brand provides a concierge level of service. To me, that means I go above and beyond to ensure each customer has a great experience. Often, little gestures add up to big customer loyalty and appreciation. For example, I send each client a "thank you" card right when they sign the contract. I host regular customer appreciation events where I invite them and celebrate our community. These actions delight and surprise my clients, which helps me stay top of mind. And, as an added bonus, they frequently tell their friends about the five-star service they receive.

Invest in a mentor or business coach. This applies whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for several years. Whatever phase of the game you’re in, you will grow faster with the help of someone who can hold you accountable and see it from an outside perspective. Mentors and business coaches have usually "been there" themselves. They have hardwon wisdom to share. If you listen closely and are coachable, open and accountable, it will change your life and your business. It certainly has changed mine.

Natural Approaches Resolve Major Illnesses by Linda Sechrist

lthough natural health enthusiasts may recognize alternative healing modalities as a preferred approach to treatment, in the face of major health issues, even they tend to join the crowd that’s turning first to conventional medicine. Thus, many gentler modalities described in The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, co-authored by doctors of naturopathy Michael T. Murray and Joseph Pizzorno, remain largely untapped resources. Ignored because they are unsupported by traditional science-based medicine, holistic measures such as acupuncture, energy medicine, essential oils, herbs, detoxification, healthpromoting diets, homeopathy, prayer and meditation, supplementation, yoga, massage and naturopathy are sacrificed in favor of often painful medical procedures and prescription drugs which can’t claim to permanently cure anything and can have many harmful side effects. 18

Lack of Awareness

“A patient that dabbles in holistic medicine for minor health issues such as indigestion, headache or insomnia often turns to conventional methods after receiving a serious diagnosis such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer because they are scared,” observes holistic physician Dr. Wendy Warner, medical director of Medicine in Balance, in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The co-author of Boosting Your Immunity for Dummies suggests that relatively few people turn to natural solutions for both preventive and therapeutic measures because they’re unaware they exist. Integrative oncologists and endocrinologists that are aware of the benefits of natural complementary methods are scarce. Relatively few conventional doctors are educated in functional medicine. “Yet complementary modalities such as acupuncture, massage and some essential oils can support the immune system and help an individual deal with stress experienced from coping with their illness,” says Warner.

Rob Wergin, an experienced energy medicine practitioner, speaks from experience regarding clients that consult him for life-threatening diagnoses. “When I see them, they’re desperate and have exhausted all conventional methods. I’m their last-ditch effort,” remarks Wergin. The most frequent reason he hears is, “My family, friends and doctor told me not to waste my money on charlatans.” “People find it challenging to put faith in natural methods and are nervous about going against a doctor’s advice until they feel or see positive results; even these may not provide sufficient motivation to continue with alternative treatments,” he says. “I believe this is the result of the influence of pharmaceutical ads promising results, the medical community’s belief in proof solely through clinical trials, websites like Quackwatch. com and well-meaning friends insisting that the conventional route is the only way to go. It’s sad to see the gravity of these influences pulling clients back into solely believing in the Western model of medicine,” says Wergin. Ann Lee, a doctor of naturopathy, acupuncturist and founder of the Health for Life Clinic, Inc., in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, notes, “This mindset continues to get reinforced by insurance companies that do not cover alternatives. Paying out of pocket for medical expenses also influences a patient’s choices.” Kelly Noonan-Gores and Adam Schomer, director and producer, respectively, of the documentary film HEAL, suggest that unconscious conditioning plays the biggest role in an individual’s choices. “We are deeply conditioned to view medical specialists and prestigious medical institutions as the ones with all the answers. Sometimes they do and

HEALING THE HARD STUFF

Outside Pressure

sometimes they don’t,” says NoonanGores, who intends to have her film awaken viewers to the possibilities of alternative paths of healing. As just one other example noted in the film, thousands have used the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), tapping on their body to help release the trauma and stress often associated with illness.

Resistance to Change

“The conventional medical community wants to maintain the model in which they have heavily invested centuries of time, energy and money. Patients that investigate integrative and complementary medicine may resist hearing that in order to get well, they might need to change their worldview and lifestyle, take a leave of absence from their job, develop a spiritual practice, exercise or maybe even leave a toxic relationship,” says Schomer. “Conventional medicine says take this pill and keep living your life the same way,” says Schomer. “We are not demonizing doctors, pharmaceuticals or the medical system. We simply believe that individuals are more empowered to heal when they take control of their health.” Eva Lee, a resident of Los Angeles featured in the documentary, suffers from a rare and unpredictable form of blistering skin inflammation. “I’ve tested negative for faulty genes and all sorts of rare viruses and bacteria, which helped

point me towards holistic methods. So far, following the directives of Dr. Mark Emerson, a chiropractor specializing in nutrition, in Maui, Hawaii, who I met while filming, has helped my body become healthier and deal with inflammation levels that rapidly reduced as soon as I detoxed and eliminated meat and dairy from my diet,” says Lee. Still, it’s hard for her to accept that her condition could be due to the type of stress and suppressed emotions that Anthony William explores in his book Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal. “Before, I wasn’t familiar with EFT, which I continue to use and benefit from. However, despite everything I’ve learned, I can’t give up on all Western medicine, put my faith in alternatives and let my intuition and faith guide me to healing. It’s easier to be skeptical than to have faith,” Lee says.

Quiet Role Models

Sheila Tucker, a resident of Navarre, Florida, has been a registered nurse for 20 years, practicing in hospital settings such as critical care, emergency and administration. “I know and understand doctors, surgeries and pharmaceutical treatments and hospitals,” says Tucker, who recalls that throughout her life she was taught to believe in a system that suddenly stopped working for her.

“In 2014, I was dying from a rare autoimmune condition, requiring fulltime care, and planning my funeral. Doctors had tried everything, yet my health continued to decline. When I saw a friend’s Facebook posts about her use of essential oils, I was curious, but reluctant to reach out, and didn’t want anyone to know that I called her for advice,” recalls Tucker. “Shortly after my friend arrived with her oils, my husband came home with our daughter, who had strep throat and a fever. She made us promise to use selected oils through the night and prayed with us.” Tucker attributes the miracle of her daughter’s turnaround the next morning to shifting her paradigm and opening her up to believing in the healing power of essential oils. Thanks to her friend and role model, Tucker learned how to use therapeuticgrade oils, supplements and a healthy diet to cleanse her body of the heavy toxic load accumulated from several years of expensive drug treatments. Today, she is a healthy and enthusiastic advocate, and her personal results opened the eyes of her physician to the point where she also shifted her own philosophy of healing. Tucker now offers educational classes in her office and online through her website FloridaOilsRN.com that reaches hundreds of individuals world-

wide. She advises, “Reach out to people that you see are having positive results with a different healing system than yours. Ask them to show, help and teach you. I’ve seen many people restored to health by using methods that science is only beginning to understand.”

It’s a Marathon

“Outside of any dominant paradigm, it’s easier to cast suspicion than to make curious inquiry and, over time, working within a dominant worldview creates polarity, the antithesis of ‘wholism’. An inclusive approach integrates all medical and complementary approaches, as well as interaction with the natural world,”

says Patrick Hanaway, a family physician and founder of Family to Family Medicine, in Asheville, North Carolina. Hanaway, the former director of medical education for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the first medical director at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, explains, “Doctors have a rigorous job filled with responsibility. Change is difficult and investigating vastly different ways of practicing medicine requires a degree of curiosity and openness. I am heartened by thought leaders and heads of top medical schools who are presently opening up to functional medicine, natural medicine and complementary approaches.” “The paradigm shift we are ushering

in has been 50 years in the making,” assesses Hanaway. “Some medical professionals are immersed in a polar view of right and wrong, offering personal attacks and disparaging comments to maintain control of the dialogue. This is not appreciated by patients who look to the doctor as a teacher—the Latin docere means to teach. “The movement to change medicine and the cultural paradigm of healing is a marathon, not a sprint, and those of us involved are prepared to stay the course.” Linda Sechrist is a senior staff writer for Natural Awakenings.

s beloved and compatible pets, indoor cats provide emotional, mental and physical benefits.

Time spent with cats Exercise Some cats enjoy leashed is never wasted.

Companionship Loneliness is never a problem with a cat around. “Cats need to be fed, have litter changed and be brushed,” says Lisa Bahar, a therapist and clinical counselor at Lisa Bahar Marriage and Family Therapy, in Newport Beach, California. “Being comforted by a cat helps with depression and isolation.” While at Indiana University Bloomington Media School, Jessica Gall Myrick, Ph.D., now associate professor at Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park, discovered watching cat videos isn’t just fun, but a way to feel more energetic and positive. With some 94 million YouTube tales of cat adventures online, there’s no lack of available mood boosters. 22

walks, presenting opportunities to mindfully enjoy nature and make friends. At home, a cat’s hunting skill and human creativity can be tapped using do-it-yourself treat dispensers and toys or inventive games.

~Sigmund Freud

Improved Health Talking to kitty can make a bad day better. A lap cat prompts enforced timeouts and excuses to nap. Petting reduces tension and stress. Aimee Gilbreath, executive director of the Michelson Found Animals Foundation, in Los Angeles, points to a study from Life Sciences Research Institute, in Pretoria, South Africa, showing, “Simply petting a cat can reduce stress-related cortisol, while increasing serotonin and oxytocin.” The Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Study Mortality Follow-up concluded that having a cat

lowers risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and cardiovascular disease including strokes, making cats a novel path to a healthier heart. When researchers reporting in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America measured the purring sound of domestic cat purrs, they discovered these resonate at 25 and 50 Hertz (Hz), the two low frequencies that best promote bone growth and fracture healing. Purrs also have a strong harmonic near 100 Hz, a level some orthopedic doctors and physical therapists use for ultrasound therapy. A child under a year old living with a cat is only half as likely to develop allergies to pets, ragweed, grass and dust mites, much as inoculations guard against disease and boost immune systems. The study, published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy, followed children from infancy to age 18. French researchers discovered autistic children age 5 and older that had a cat were more willing to share, offer comfort to others and show empathy.

I have lived with several Zen masters—all of them cats. ~Eckhart Tolle Sharing cat responsibilities tightened family bonds. Cats like routine, especially for meals, making them good pets for Alzheimer’s patients that may lose track of time. Many people like the added warmth of a nearby sleeping cat at night. Fifteen minutes of exercise, followed by a snack, will put kitty on the owner’s sleep schedule.

Cats are Low-Maintenance Overall, cats are self-sufficient animals, requiring only love, food and a spotless litter box. Self-cleaning, most cats don’t require regular trips to the groomer for haircuts and a bath. Scratching posts keep nails short. A snack, playtime or welcoming puddle of sunshine persuades kitty that it’s naptime.

“In rescue, we say dogs are toddlers and cats are teenagers. Cats live without constant oversight,” says jme Thomas, cofounder of Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, in Redmond, Washington. “They’re good pets for busy people. Adopt two at the same time so they bond and aren’t lonely.”

Cats are Eco-Friendly A New Zealand study reports that cats have a lower carbon footprint than dogs, comparing dogs to a Hummer and cats to a Volkswagen Golf. Dogs eat more beef, incurring red meat’s huge footprint. “Because cats eat less than most dogs overall, it saves money, too,” says Gilbreath. Everyone needs someone to care for and love. With about 77 million cats living in U.S. households and more in shelters or rescues, there’s plenty of peopleand planet-friendly love to be found.
