hronic Pain Remedies, our national feature article is a big trigger for many this month—including me as I’ve had my share of chronic pain conditions. That’s probably one of the reasons why this article, which touches down on addiction, physical and emotional pain while focusing on natural remedies for pain, really resonated with me. Being a lifelong entrepreneur, I can’t help but always want to put a new passion into action. Often, a group of my close friends meet at the beach at our friend’s RV for our “happy hour.” I really believe it would be an interesting reality show as our conversations would Love heals. resonate with so many others. Our “pot luck” consists of spontaneous combustion of friends, strangers, laughter, happiness, tears, grievances, fun, surfing, paddling, injuries, and, most importantly, the healing of pain. When one of us gets hit by a sting ray, we submerse the wound in warm water and sometimes call for medical attention. When hit with a loved one’s sting and struggles, we surround our friend with love and kindness. I’ve been deeply immersed into studying plant medicine. One of the focuses of my publication will be educating you on alternative remedies like Ibogaine that naturally eliminates a person’s physical addiction to opiates and reduces addiction. You might have noticed all of the studies being done on how plant medicines such as psilocybin mushrooms are being used to manage PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. More and more Westerners are being drawn to Ayahuasca to help heal emotional wounds, enhance their wellbeing, and reconnect to nature while discovering their life’s path. These plant medicines are illegal in the U.S. The more I research this, the more I think it’s a shame that our society doesn’t embrace the medicinal benefits of these teacher plants. Meanwhile, alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs, which are legal and lauded by our society, can cause all kinds of issues for people. Did you know that over 20 million Americans over the age of 12 have an addiction? The medicinal use of psychedelics and the benefits they can naturally provide us cannot be refuted any longer. Plant medicine is coming out of the closet again with a much larger momentum. These healing plants have been used for centuries and it’s about time that we look at them again, and see what we can learn from them with safe, professional guidance. Thank you to my Natural Awakenings family and all that we shared at our annual conference. Thank you to my daughter Kathryn, for allowing me the space to feel such immense joy while watching you graduate from college. Thank you to my all of my dear friends, who feel like my soul family, for all your unwavering loyal and loving support. May we all feel vast amounts of joy, love and laughter as we welcome summer back this month!

Vegetarian Protein Options on the Rise
Pat_Hastings/Shutterstock.com
Last year, the United Nations International Year of Pulses recognized dry peas, lentils and chickpeas because they are affordable, nutritious and have a low eco-footprint. New, innovative, plant-based proteins will extend the options. The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition reported that vegetarians can save at least $750 annually over meat eaters by reducing or replacing consumption of animal products and switching to sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards. The Impossible Burger simulates the sizzle, the smell and the juicy first bite of the real thing to rave reviews. The similar Beyond Burger is a hit at Whole Foods Markets. Tyson Foods is investing in the protein alternative company, Beyond Meat, and launching a $150 million venture capital fund to support plantbased foods. Some large German meat producers are also seeking to diversify with plant-based versions of traditional meaty favorites.

Autonomous Autos
Driverless Cars Promise Safety and Savings Hyundai demonstrated its Ioniq autonomous, or driverless, hybrid car concept at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, demonstrating that such vehicles— equipped with sophisticated sensors, GPS and computers—could be for sale within five to seven years. Safety is paramount. Estimates for the U.S., based on a 2013 Eco Center for Transportation study, projected that if 90 percent of vehicles were autonomous, the number of driving-related deaths would plummet from an annual 32,400 to approximately 11,300. “Drivers are excited that driverless cars will offer 90 percent fewer U.S. traffic accidents, 40 percent lower insurance costs, the end of drunk driving accidents and newfound freedom for seniors and people with disabilities,” says Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association. Its 2016 report Self-Driving Vehicles: Consumer Sentiments found that nearly 75 percent of consumers surveyed like the proffered benefits. In Driverless, authors Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman highlight significant ecological benefits, including McKinsey research findings that driverless cars will yield up to 20 percent fuel savings, and a corresponding reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Their smoother driving also extends a vehicle’s life. Ford intends to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle for ride sharing in 2021, according to Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company president and CEO. Companies such as Uber and Lyft already are testing driverless vehicles in pilot cities.
Re-energize Your Life with Energy Healing by Linda White
S
cience has proven that our physical and emotional well-being is intertwined. What we feel physically affects our general emotional wellbeing. What we believe, consciously and subconsciously, affects how our body physically responds to and experiences the world around us. For example, if a person’s thyroid goes out they might feel depressed. From an emotional standpoint, if we tend to judge others or expect others to judge us, this can produce anxiety which can then lead to adrenal fatigue. Everything in the universe is made up of energy—including us. Because we are all energy, one of the most powerful tools for physical healing is the ancient practice of energy healing. To grasp this concept, picture one cell of your body as the size of a football field and in the middle is a stick pin. The head of that pin represents the amount of actual matter and the football field is the amount that is pure energy. There are a range of explanations for how energy healing works, from the airy fairy to the scientific, so let’s
start with the basics. In the same way that a magnifying glass can focus the light energy of the sun to start a fire, a trained energy worker can focus the life force energy that flows through and connects all things to enhance the body’s innate ability to heal and regenerate itself. Energy work can alleviate pain, inflammation and other health symptoms in several ways. One is that it can be used to clear the buildup of tension, stress and stuffed emotions that create imbalances and blockage in the body. Imagine being able to go to peace without medication. This is important because when we can go to peace, it sends a signal that resets and calms the nervous system, which increases the natural flow of energy through the body and gives it the energy to regenerate and heal. This also affects us emotionally because when we feel good physically, it increases mental clarity and general emotional wellbeing. Now, a second form of energy is learning to shift and refocus the energy of limiting thoughts because “as you

believe” affects how a person responds to the world around them. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that 80 percent of chronic health issues have stress as a causal factor. If I’m in a constant state of anxiety and overwhelm, how I deal with these feelings either calms me and keeps my physical energy open and flowing or leads me to stuff them which creates constriction, tension and fatigue. When our belief patterns produce tension, it activates the adrenals as part of our inner defenses. This then diverts energy from vital body functions which limits circulation and functioning of vital organs and systems. Over time this leads to the creation of very real health issues. What compounds the problem is that many people believe trying not to feel their negative feelings is the solution. It’s important to learn to shift such feelings, but trying not to feel them isn’t the solution because doing so is how we stuff emotions which then causes overreactions, anxiety and depression. This leads most people to feel worse because then they judge themselves for not being able to stop or change these feelings. Judgments block shifting and cause internal tension. The solution is learning to understand, embrace and apply the higher consciousness that heals the judgments, anxiety and other patterns, which eliminates the need to suppress them. No suppression, no tension. Energy work and emotional wisdom can alleviate the causes of tension so we can experience peace physically and emotionally. Peace equals energy. When our body gets the energy it needs this increases circulation, reduces pain and inflammation, improves our emotional well-being and enhances our body’s ability to do what it’s designed to do—heal and regenerate itself. Linda White, shaman, Master Energy Healer and creator of Integrative Core Healing, has been helping heal others both emotionally and physically for over 20 years.

ecotip Itchy Ivy
Tips to Avoid and Treat Poison Ivy Rash Avoiding even slight contact with poisonous vines that secrete toxic oil goes far in preempting nasty blistering, skin pain and itching. If contact occurs, natural remedies can help prevent and diminish symptoms. Recognition helps. In the North and West, it’s usually a shrub; in the East, Midwest and South, a vine. Watch out for a cluster of three leaves; the color changes seasonally. For outdoor walks or hikes, maximize skin protection by wearing long-sleeved shirts, hats, rubber gloves, socks and closed-toe shoes. Also thoroughly rinse skin that may have come into contact with poison ivy in lukewarm soapy water using a washcloth or hand towel for friction as soon as possible to remove the damaging oil (video at Tinyurl.com/Wash-Off-Poison-Ivy). n Stay watchful; a rash sometimes doesn’t appear for 12 to 72 hours after contact (aad.org). n If a rash develops, soak in cool water baths containing an oatmeal-based product like Aveeno or oatmeal soap. n Lavender, peppermint, tea tree, Roman chamomile, myrrh, eucalyptus and cypress essential oils all offer antiinflammatory and other soothing properties (recipes at NewHealthAdvisor.com/Essential-Oils-for-Poison-Ivy.html) n Natural treatments found at DrAxe.com include applying apple cider vinegar or brewed and chilled black tea; their tannins and other compounds lower inflammatory reactions. n To reduce itching, GlobalHealingCenter.com suggests baking soda baths and pastes. Ditch the Itch Cream has natural ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, oat extract, tea tree and neem oils that can provide temporary relief, according to Eartheasy.com. Applying cool paper towels may be helpful; also try witch hazel. Over-thecounter cortisone cream or even calamine lotion is a last resort. n Avoid scratching as an infection may develop through opening a blister. If breathing or swallowing worsens, eyes swell or a rash develops in or near the mouth, head to an emergency room or urgent care center.

Such statistics expose the magnitude of the problem of chronic pain. “It’s daunting, but there are many natural ways to address it that are inexpensive, effective and with what I call side benefits rather than negative side effects,” says Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, of Kona, Hawaii, author of the smartphone app Cures A-Z. Complementary, integrative or functional medicine, all names for a holistic approach to health care, offer a comforting wealth of gentle ways to address chronic pain, most of which
CHRONIC PAIN
Natural Ways to Feel Much Better by Kathleen Barnes
A
ccording to the National Center for Health Statistics, 25 percent of Americans, or 76.2 million, are suffering from pain that lasts more than 24 hours at this very moment: Ouch! Lower back pain alone keeps Americans from going to work a total of 149 million days each year, costing the U.S. economy $100 to $200 billion, reports the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Other common types of chronic pain affect musculoskeletal tissues, knees, hips or the neck. Migraines and severe headaches plague 16.6 percent of adults over 18, per a National Health and Nutrition Survey. Neurological discomfort can reach as high as 12.4 percent, estimates a study from the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. Even visceral or organ pain associated with 16
San Diego Edition
heart disease, cancer and pelvic diseases occur in at least 20 percent of the global population, according to the International Association for the Study of Pain, in Seattle. If chronic pain is affecting you, you feel it and want relief—right now.
Watch Out for Opioids
Unfortunately, conventional medicine often has little to offer most pain patients. Even for something as pervasive as back pain, surgery and steroid injections are usually an unsatisfactory first line of defense, having mixed results at best, seconded by prescriptions for addictive opioid painkillers. Dr. Nora D. Vokov, director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse, told the U.S. Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control in 2014 that there NA-SD.com
the vast majority of conventional medical doctors are unaware, says Daniel Cherkin, Ph.D., senior investigator emeritus with the Group Health Research Institute, at the University of Washington, in Seattle. “Effective natural treatments include yoga, acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, lifestyle changes and exercise,” notes Cherkin. “But since they’re not in most doctors’ medical training or learned repertoire for pain relief, patients aren’t offered the opportunity to try them.”
What Helps Relieve Pain
Here are just some of the many natural and affordable forms of pain relief.
Try the Yass method: Mitchell Yass, Ph.D., of St. John’s, Florida, author of The Pain Cure Rx, is busting the myth that musculoskeletal pain

were an estimated 2.1 million people in the U.S. suffering from substance abuse disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers in 2012. The problem is worsening. Every day, 1,000 people are treated in emergency rooms for misusing prescription opioids, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A majority of Americans feel pain on a daily basis.
is often caused by osteoarthritis. “Arthritis or joint deterioration is rarely the cause of joint pain,” says Yass. He points out that 90 percent of people over 60 have herniated discs, but no associated pain.Yass treats patients based on his observation that in up to 98 percent of the cases he sees, weak muscles are the underlying cause of joint pain, and strengthening them provides relief. He says his prescribed exercises are usually effective in days or a few weeks. “Pain is an indication of tissue in distress. For example, pain in the shoulder area is often an impingement of the bicep,” he says. His prescription is strengthening exercises using hand weights for the trapezoid, tricep and serratus anterior muscles. His book suggests a detailed self-diagnosis program and the necessary exercises to strengthen muscles and relieve joint pain (more at Tinyurl.com/ YassIntroInfo).
Address underlying trauma: Osteopath Maud Nerman, of Novato, California, author of Healing Pain and Injury, has broad experience in treating neurological problems and brain injuries and often focuses on physical and emotional trauma as an underlying cause of chronic pain. She explains that the autonomic nervous system that directs uncon-
scious body functions like breathing, digestion and heartbeat is interrupted by such trauma. “Trauma literally shocks the nervous system,” she says. “The body cannot turn off the ‘fight-or-flight’ reaction, causing a firestorm of inflammation that can lead to a variety of serious diseases, overwhelming the body’s ability to manage its own healing.” Her work has showed how readjusting the body, restoring breathing and reactivating the autonomic nervous system can provide relief in short order.
Consider lifestyle, diet and supplements: “Pain is like the ‘check oil’ light on a car’s dashboard. It signals that something needs attention,” says Teitelbaum, author of Pain Free 1-2-3. “If the oil light goes on, putting a Band-Aid over it or smashing it with a hammer won’t help.” Teitelbaum recommends an energy optimization approach he dubs SHINE that addresses underlying causes of chronic pain that has worked for 91 percent of the people he’s treated for fibromyalgia and muscle pain.
Sleep—Eight to nine hours a night
helps replenish energy and heal muscles.
Hormones—Treat hormone imbalances even if lab tests are “normal”.
Immunity—Dysfunctional immune
systems and persistent infections can lead to chronic pain.
Nutrition—In Teitelbaum’s studies,
optimizing nutritional support, especially B vitamins, vitamin D, ribose, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and magnesium, was helpful. A healthy, high protein, low sugar diet is effectively complemented by a variety of herbs and nutrients, primarily curcumin, boswellia, willow bark and fish oil, nutrients that widespread studies show stop pain better than pharmaceuticals. He’s also a strong proponent of eliminating sugar entirely because it causes inflammation.
Exercise—Daily exercise speeds the healing process and after 10 weeks following the first four SHINE steps, will increase the capacity to exercise. For migraines, Teitelbaum advocates vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Numerous studies support the effectiveness of dosages of 400 milligrams per day to prevent migraines.

Tap for Relief: Also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Tapping Solutions founder Nick Ortner, of Newtown, Connecticut, says “Tapping sends a calming signal to the amygdala in the brain, turning off the fight or flight stress response and allowing the body to heal.” The physical tapping opens up the body’s energy meridians and allows them to relax so the natural healing process can take place, Ortner explains. EFT combines tapping on specific body points while repeating appropriate affirmative statements such as: “Even though I have this [pain], I love, accept and forgive myself.” He recalls a woman that arrived at a seminar he led with a toothache that had lasted for years. Doctors had done X-rays, seen an infection and prescribed antibiotics to no good effect. He asked her if she recalled when the pain began; without hesitation, she answered, “When my mother passed away unexpectedly.” “So we started working together and the pain reduced significantly right away and eventually disappeared completely,” says Ortner. A follow-up with her dentist showed no sign of the former problem. Up to now, the EFT research is positive. One study from the Energy Medicine University, in Mill Valley, California, found it helped people with chronic pain (some coping with severe fatigue and fibromyalgia) feel physically and emotionally better in as little as a month; another from the Foundation for Epigenetic Medicine, in Santa Rosa, California, showed substantially reduced trauma in institutionalized abused teenagers after just one EFT session. Meditation vs. Medication:
Meditation may not resolve the underlying cause of chronic pain, but research from the University of Alabama demonstrates it can interrupt pain signals to the brain. It’s at least
as effective as opioid painkillers in relieving chronic pain, according to a study led by Cherkin at the University of Washington. His team’s 342 subjects that had experienced back pain weekly for at least a year were offered either eight meditation and yoga classes, eight cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) sessions or just keeping up their own regular daily routines that did not include yoga and meditation. The results, recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, confirm what numerous other studies have reported: 44 percent experienced a “meaningful reduction” in pain within six months of the meditation or CBT sessions, equal to results reported by people taking addictive opioid pharmaceuticals. More, the pain relief continued for up to two years, even if the subjects stopped doing actual sitting meditation. “Meditation changes the way people think about pain and how they develop skills to keep it from becoming a major focus in their lives,” observes Cherkin. Regardless of the mechanism, experts in a holistic approach to chronic pain relief agree that encouraging self-control, self-determination and self-empowerment makes a huge difference in patients’ abilities to control pain more naturally and effectively.

Homeopathy for Joint Injury and Pain Six Remedies for Relief by Shawn Messonnier
J
oint disease, specifically arthritis, is a common problem in dogs and cats, especially as they age. The causes are many and include obesity, inflammation, immune dysfunction and normal wear and tear in joints. Conventional therapies include steroids, non-steroidal medications,
analgesic medications to control pain and surgery, when applicable. Clinical signs of arthritis include joint stiffness, pain, difficulty getting up and down, a pet’s decreased desire to walk or exercise and increased aggression due to pain. Keep in mind that other causes may be
misdiagnosed as “arthritis”, but are related to another disease. Many natural therapies for joint disease include acupuncture, chiropractic, cold laser treatment, physical therapy, Chinese and Western herbal therapies, nutrition and diet, homotoxicology and homeopathy. Several key homeopathic remedies recommended for human relief in osteoarthritic knee, hip and finger joints by Dr. Vikas Sharma, of Chandigarh, India, may also be helpful for pets with joint injury and pain, according to The Arthritis Solution for Dogs & Cats (PetCareNaturally.com). Consult a holistic veterinarian for individual treatment options.
Arnica This is a mainstay of homeopathy, as noted in the New World Veterinary Repertory, and applies to anything related to bones and joints. It is useful for chronic arthritis, especially if the painful parts of the body seem to worsen when moved or touched.
Bryonia Alba It’s especially helpful for pets showing signs of stiffness and inflammation with pain made worse as the pet moves, especially when rising and lying down. Offset cold dry weather with warmth and humidification. Discomfort is aggravated when the affected body part is touched, bumped

or moved about, which may spur aggressive behavior, so show tender care and respect. Relief typically comes when the pet rests the affected part.
Calcarea carbonica This remedy may ease deeply aching arthritis, particularly if bony or fibrous tissue has formed around joints. Avoid cold and dampness. Signs alerting a veterinarian to the problem may include muscle weakness, fatigue from exertion and a feeling of chilliness or sluggishness (these pets may also be hypothyroid).
Kali carbonicum Pets with advanced arthritis showing joints that are thickened or deformed may benefit from kali. Stiffness and pain are typically worse in the morning from cold, damp weather, so that’s an ideal time for applying prescribed treatment.
Rhus toxicodendron This is useful for many arthritic pets and especially those with rheumatoid arthritis, which is rare. The remedy is also beneficial for pets that start the day stiff and in pain, but improve with continued movement. Protect them from cold, wet weather conditions.
Ruta graveolens Another widely recognized arthritis remedy, ruta grav is for pets whose symptoms may be exacerbated by cold and damp and exertion. It may be prescribed for affected and damaged tendons and capsules of the joints, when arthritis may have developed from overuse, repeated wear and tear and associated chronic inflammation. The practice of functional medicine teaches combinations of complementary therapies suited to the individual pet’s needs. Homeopathics can be a beneficial element in treating animals suffering from a variety of joint disorders. Shawn Messonnier, a doctor of veterinary medicine practicing in Plano, TX, is the author of The Natural Health Bible for Dogs & Cats and Unexpected Miracles: Hope and Holistic Healing for Pets.
