letter from co-publisher
S
ummer has arrived and so have I—as Natural Awakenings San Diego’s new co-publisher! Having had the pleasure of meeting so many partners and readers already, with such a warmth, I can literally feel the movement toward natural health that Elaine has created with this community. I’m so grateful to feel at home being a part of it. I consider myself a San Diegan, having lived here for more than a decade. However, I grew up in the agricultural beach community of Ventura, so July’s nutrition theme, Vanessa Fleur which includes some great feature articles like "Farmers Rooted in Health and Anti-Inflammatory Diets", is right up my alley. Learning from an early age about food via my grandparents' garden, I’ve always considered the old phrase “you are what you eat” to be very true. So much so, I’ve become a vegetarian to reduce inflammation and dial in my habitual eating aka “diet.” Recently, I saw the film Kissed by God at La Paloma. It is a gripping, honest and emotional documentary about three-time world surf champion Andy Irons and the battle that he eventually lost to opioids. Because our community needs to be aware of this dangerous epidemic and the natural solutions that can save lives, I highly recommend the film. In addition, the one article I’d love for everyone to read this month is "Better Options than Opioids". I’m so thrilled to be on this new journey with Natural Awakenings and I leave you with the words of one of my favorite teachers, Thich Nhat Hanh, “I have arrived. I am home. My destination is each step.” May your month be filled with much love, joy and abundance! Vanessa

Walking Speed May Predict Dementia A recent study published in Neurology suggests there is a link between walking speed and the onset of dementia in older adults. Using a stopwatch, tape and an 18-foot-long hallway to measure the walking speed of 175 adults aged 70 to 79, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that in the course of 14 years, those that slowed down by 0.1 second or more per year were 47 percent more likely to develop cognitive decline. The slowing walkers also experienced shrinkage in the right hippocampus, associated with complex learning and memory. The results held true even after realizing that a slowing gait could be due to muscle weakness, knee pain or another disease. Similarly, a study published in Neurology of 93 adults 70 and older found that slow walkers were nine times more likely to develop non-memory-related mild cognitive decline than moderate-to-fast walkers. Walking speed was monitored using infrared sensors in their homes over a three-year period; participants regularly took memory and thinking tests.

Algae Alchemy
www.levieskincare.com
Dutch Turn Seaweed into 3-D Household Items
Dutch designers Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros have been cultivating live algae and processing it into material that can be used for 3-D printing. This algae polymer can be turned into everyday items from shampoo bottles to bowls and trash bins. They hope it could replace petroleum-based plastics to help alleviate our unsustainable consumption of fossil fuels. They have also experimented with other biopolymers such as mycelium (fungi), potato starch and cocoa bean shells. The pair now operate a research and algae production lab at the Luma Foundation, in Arles, France. They point out that their creations do more than just replace plastic—algae can also suck up carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas driver of global climate change. They explain, “The algae grow by absorbing the carbon and producing a starch that can be used as a raw material for bioplastics or binding agents. The waste product is oxygen—clean air.”

Organic Farmers: Growing America’s Health Restoring the Nutritional Value of Crops
elenabsl/Shutterstock.com
by Melinda Hemmelgarn
W
hen we think of scientists as men and women in lab coats peering into microscopes, what’s missing is farmers. Our society doesn’t tend to equate the two, yet farmers are active field scientists. How they choose to grow and produce food greatly impacts our shared environment of soil, water and air quality, as well as the nutritional content of food, and therefore, public health.

The best field- and lab-based scientists share key traits: they’re curious, keen observers and systems thinkers that learn by trial and error. Both formulate and test hypotheses, collect data, take measurements, assess results and draw conclusions.
Field Science
Diana Dyer, a registered dietitian and organic garlic farmer outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, explains, “I like to help people see the similarities between the scientific process and good, careful farming—all aspects of which revolve around observations, goals, planning, implementation, intervention and analysis of results—then careful re-planning based on those results.” Dyer and her husband, Dick, started farming after long careers in traditional health care, where the focus was on treating people after they got sick. Through their farm work, they wanted to focus on prevention. “Growing healthy food in healthy soil, our goal was to create and nourish a healthy community from the ground up. Communicating the multiple benefits of healthy soils and ecosystems has been at the core of our vision and responsibility from day one,” she says. The
Dyers believe that flavor is key to eating and enjoying truly nourishing foods, and based on their professional health backgrounds and farming experience, they connect healthy soil with higher-quality, better-tasting food. In Havre, Montana, Doug Crabtree, and his wife, Anna, manage Vilicus Farms, featured in the book Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America, by Liz Carlisle. The Crabtrees grow organic heirloom and specialty grains, pulses and oilseed crops such as emmer, kamut, black beluga lentils and flax. Asked if he considers himself a scientist, Crabtree first defines the term as “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.” Then he replies, “Given this definition, how could any farmer not be a scientist? An organic farmer is a lifelong student of nature, seeking to emulate her wisdom and processes as we refine our production systems. Organic production isn’t just growing food without toxic chemical inputs, it’s a system that requires conscientiously improving soil, water and associated resources while producing safe and healthy food for America’s growing population of informed consumers.”

Healthy Soil, Food and People
At the Rodale Institute, in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Andrew Smith directs the new Vegetable Systems Trial, a long-term, side-by-side comparison of both biologically organic and chemically based conventional vegetable production. An organic farmer with a Ph.D. in molecular ecology from Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Smith studies how soil quality and crop-growing conditions influence the nutrient density and health-protecting properties of specific vegetables. “Over the past 70 years, there’s been a decline in the nutritional value of our foods,” reports Smith. “During this time, industrial agriculture, with its pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, increased yields and size of crops, but the tradeoff was a decline in nutrient content, known as the ‘dilution effect’.” In addition, Smith explains, greater levels of nitrogen fertilizer, typical of conventional production methods, may also increase a plant’s susceptibility to insects and disease. Smith’s research will give fellow farmers, healthcare providers and consumers a better understanding of how crop production practices influence soil quality and therefore, food quality. For example, research of organic crops shows higher levels of vitamin C; higher-quality protein; plus more disease-fighting compounds called secondary plant metabo-

lites such as lycopene, polyphenols and anthocyanin, the plant pigment responsible for the red, blue and purple colors in fruits and vegetables, as reported in a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition. The Rodale Institute has formed partnerships with nutrition and medical researchers at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park. Of particular interest, for example, are extracts from purple potatoes that show promise in helping to kill colon cancer cells. Smith looks forward to identifying growing methods that boost levels of anthocyanin, as well as other health-protecting compounds in crops. The new Regenerative Health Institute, a global research and education center linking soil health to human health, will also be housed at the Rodale Institute. It’s a collaboration between Rodale staff and the Plantrician Project, a nonprofit organization in New Canaan, Connecticut, that promotes whole food and plant-based nutrition, and helps healthcare providers embrace food as medicine as the foundation of their practices. Jeff Moyer, a renowned international authority in organic agriculture and executive director of the Rodale Institute, explains, “It’s not only what you eat that’s important, but how what you eat was produced. Ultimately, our personal health is linked to the health of the soil.”
David Montgomery, a professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington, in Seattle, has visited farms worldwide, witnessing how farmers use regenerative farming practices to bring degraded soil back to life. He learned that grazing animals, cover-cropping and no-till farming free of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides protects and enriches the soil microbiome, which contributes to the nutrient density of plants and human health.
We Are What We and Our Animals Eat
Along with our well-being, livestock farming methods impact our environment, too. A growing body of research including a new study published in Food Science & Nutrition shows that meat and dairy products from animals raised mostly on grass or pasture—as nature intended—contain significantly higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed animals. These naturally occurring fats help protect us from inflammation, heart disease and cancer. Important in brain, eye and nerve development, omega-3 fatty acids are especially critical for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants. Organic farmers, by law, must provide their ruminant animals with significant time on pasture and may not

feed them genetically engineered feed or feed produced with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Further, they can’t use synthetic hormones or antibiotics to promote weight gain. In these ways, organic farmers help protect our food, water, and environment from contamination, and reduce the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance.

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

that an estimated 2 million Americans suffered from opioid use disorder involving prescription drugs as of 2016 while 12 million admitted to misusing them. Legal and illegal opioids killed 64,070 Americans in 2016, 21 percent more than the previous year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some opioid addiction stems from use of illegal recreational drugs like heroin and cocaine, but the National Institute of Drug Abuse testified to the U.S. Senate that as of 2014 more than four times as many Americans were addicted to prescription opioids (2.1 million) than heroin (467,000). Natural approaches, less harmful in relieving pain and thereby preventing drug addictions, are addressing and ameliorating long-term back or neck, nerve and even cancer pain, and saving lives. The first step in preventing dependency is to avoid opioids completely, says Fadel Zeidan, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, in WinstonSalem, North Carolina: “Opioids don’t
Mindfulness meditation: Zeidan recommends mindfulness meditation and cites a University of Massachusetts study of people with chronic pain in which pain lessened by at least 65 percent after 10 weeks of this practice. “Mindfulness meditation is about discipline and regulating one’s attention. It appears to shut down the thalamus, the brain’s gatekeeper, and the brain’s ability to register pain,” explains Zeidan. Yoga: Strongly positive effects have been reported in several studies, including one on 150 veterans with chronic low back pain from the Veterans Administration San Diego Healthcare System. It showed that 12 weeks of yoga classes reduced pain and opioid use, and improved functionality of participants; many of them had suffered back pain for more than 15 years. Acupuncture: The ancient Chinese modality that’s been used to treat all types of pain for millennia has become such a mainstream treatment that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that healthcare providers learn more about it to help patients avoid prescription opioids. “All pain starts with imbalance,” says Terri Evans, a doctor of Oriental medicine in Naples, Florida. “Acupuncture is about creating balance in the body and in releasing the fascia, where pain patterns get locked.” Marijuana: All forms of marijuana, or cannabis, are illegal on the federal level, but medical marijuana is now legal in 29 states and the District of Columbia. In a study from San Francisco General Hospital published in the journal Neurology, researchers found that smoking the first cannabis cigarette reduced pain by 72 percent in a group of patients with painful neuropathy.

system, found in the brain, organs, connective tissues and immune cells, is one of its natural pain-coping mechanisms, and is most affected by cannabis. Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., associate professor of clinical psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, author of Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence and a member of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, is an advocate of medical marijuana. While regarding it as helpful for chronic pain with little risk of addiction, he concludes it’s “great for a small handful of conditions, but it’s not the cure-all that some are suggesting.” CBD oil: Dr. Hyla Cass, of Marina del Rey, California, an integrative physician expert in psychiatry and addiction recovery, and author of The Addicted Brain and How to Break Free, is more comfortable with CBD (cannabidiol) oil. It’s a hemp product legal in 45 states, provided it qualifies in non-addictive levels of THC, the component of cannabis that induces euphoria (see TheCannabisIndustry.org/ state-marijuana-policies-map). Some CBD oils contain trace amounts of THC, not enough to induce a “high” or contribute to addiction, but there are also products that contain no THC at all. By definition, hemp’s THC content is less than 0.3 percent versus marijuana’s 5 to 35 percent. “CBD oil won’t make you high,” says Cass. “In and of itself, CBD oil is very potent. You don’t need the THC for pain relief. There’s no need to go down the slippery slope of using an illegal substance.” In addition to CBD oil’s painrelieving effects on the endocannabinoid system, says Cass, it’s a powerful antiinflammatory, which contributes to its effectiveness in addressing the underlying causes of chronic pain, confirmed by University of South Carolina research.

CANNABIS
A Natural Opioid Alternative
C
athy Bliss, Certified Biofeedback Specialist and Director of Community Outreach for Mankind Dispensary on Miramar Road, in San Diego, says that she knows more people these days are seeking natural opioid alternatives. “Either they or their loved one has chronic pain and they’re looking for a better option than opioids. So many in our community are curious about cannabis, but need some help navigating what to try and how to take it and where to purchase a safe, legal product.” Bliss invites enquiring minds to visit Mankind where professional consultants are always available to discuss how cannabis can be of benefit to them. “We’re happy to show you our wide variety lab-tested, pesticide and contaminantfree products,” says this natural health enthusiast who is always excited to hear cannabis success stories. “My loved-one was prescribed opioids for pain from a joint replacement. After a few days he tried a cannabis tincture and that relieved the pain, so he could sleep. Over the years he has found other cannabis concentrates that work for him.” More success stories include a patient that won a recent $500 raffle at the dispensary. “He says he loves Korovo edibles as they relieve his pain so he can
sleep. Another patient that won the raffle the following month loves Jetty Pax Pods as they relieve his pain from five back surgeries,” shares Bliss. “So, the best thing is to be a ‘bio-hacker’ and get a few different formulations and take notes and see what works best for your body.” Mankind carries products with both CBD and THC in different ratios. According to Bliss, many of their dispensary customers enjoy a product with an 18:1 CBD to THC ratio for daytime, which can offer anti-inflammatory benefits without psychoactivity, followed by a 4:1 or 1:1 in the evening when they are able to fully relax. “However, everybody is different. I love hearing back from people on what products and ratios work for them,” she affirms. Email Cathy at Cathy@MankindCoop.com. For address, hours and more information, visit MankindCannabis.com.

MY EMOTIONS ARE WHERE? by Dr. Nikki Cohen
E
verything is connected. But most people think that this saying pertains only to the physical body, like the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone. Although that is true, it’s even deeper than that. Not only is the hip bone connected to the thigh bone, but the insides are connected to the outsides. Our organs are literally attached to our bones, either directly or indirectly via attachments to other organs. And our emotions can be manifested in our organs. Here are a couple of examples of how that works: • A professional athlete is about to participate in the final game to win the series. He is dressed and ready to go. Emotions are flooding his system, from excitement to fear, and he gets overwhelmed and vomits. • A graduate student is worried about her upcoming job interview. She can’t sleep,
can’t eat, and has diarrhea every day. These are visceral reactions to stress. Of course, nothing is wrong with their digestive systems. Their organs are merely reacting to the inner stress and emotions that they are feeling. It’s as if the psycho-emotional reaction is overwhelming and the body must get rid of it. Vomiting is one way. Diarrhea is another. Sweating is another. Any way the body can purge, it will. This helps maintain balance within the system as a whole and within the systems that make up the whole. But let’s talk about this on a less dramatic scale. Most of us are not professional athletes or performers. Just because we don’t have a big game doesn’t mean we don’t experience emotional stress. A series of mild stressors that build and build over years can eventually create an imbalance
within one or several of your systems. The digestive system is a common target, creating symptoms of constipation, diarrhea or nausea/vomiting. But this emotional stress can be found anywhere. It can affect blood flow, blood pressure and joint range of motion. Ongoing, low grade, emotional stress can also create pain in the body and prevent full healing from other injuries or illnesses. Chronic stress affects everything in the body and can alter the way we heal or don’t heal. So, the next time you “should be better by now,” take a good look at your life and your day-to-day stressors. It’s possible a change needs to be made. Seeking bodywork from a therapist that does CranioSacral Therapy and/or Visceral Mobilization is strongly recommended. Both disciplines have techniques to help rid the physical body of unprocessed emotional stress that could be preventing full healing and full optimal function. Dr. Nikki Cohen is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in visceral mobilization, CranioSacral Therapy and pelvic floor physical therapy. She is a skilled practitioner who considers the whole human being and operates from a mind/body/spirit perspective. For more information, call 818-606-6717 or visit DrNikkiCohen.com. If you need help finding a practitioner in your area, reach out to Dr. Cohen. She is happy to help you find one. See ad on page 19.

Humiston Wellness Rolfing®- Structural Method and Feldenkrais® Work When your neck or some other part of your body keeps hurting no matter what treatment has been applied to it, you will usually get lasting relief from Rolfing® or Feldenkrais® work, which systematically organizes the rest of your body so that place finally can relax. Karl Humiston was directly trained by Ida Rolf, PhD. Bonnie Humiston is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais® teacher and trainer, who studied directly with Moshe Feldenkrais for 10 years.
Fundamentally these methods work by restoring something that has been lost, by returning your body's structure and movement patterns to the "blueprint of perfection" that was given you in the beginning and the potential for which remains in you. When our work succeeds in restoring this, all kinds of problems get better because they cannot stay bad when your "blueprint" is restored. - Karl Humiston
