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

letter from publisher

very month, Natural Awakenings publishes in over 85 cities. We educate and deliver cuttingedge information on alternative care. We deliver alternative, independent grassroots journalism to millions of readers. We are not driven by corporate conglomerates and or politics. We dig deeper and we do not aim to “please” our readers; rather, we aim to educate and heal. For those who think print is out of style, think again. Natural Awakenings is not a time sensitive publication. Our hard copies fly off the shelves each month. While I’d love to be online publication only, as that would serve both my environmental and economic goals, the reality is our readers still prefer hard copies. What we want or think is not always what we get and so we remain in print from pure demand. With this being our yoga month, stretch your minds and search for truth and not what the media wants us to believe. In just the past year, we have covered topics ranging from cannabis and crypto currency to tiny homes and metaphysical healing. We’ve educated on many controversial current subjects in the health and wellness arena. I find that controversy comes from fear. Fear of letting go of a stigma, fear of the unknown, fear of change, and fear of leaving our comfort zones. Personally, I love change, researching new ways of living, and going deep into psychology. Natural Awakenings often offers natural healing and life sustaining solutions that contradict so much of the mainstream media narrative. And we love that our readers are independent thinkers like us. When our lives are coasting along without any speed bumps, we have a tendency to overlook truth. We have no need to reach deep because it feels so comfortable from the outside, why look deep? Circumstances do and can change in a New York minute. Those who coast through life unconsciously defying what is really happening will eventually hit a speed bump that will stop them from moving forward, maybe even put them in reverse. Some of us stay super busy so we never have to deal with our emotions and/ or our truth. It’s time to get busy getting real with ourselves. While it might be scary at first, those deep dives into the work we need to do to heal ourselves will bring our best selves forward so that we can be the people we were meant to be. There’s no better time to start than now. I hope you find some golden nuggets in this month’s issue that help you along that path to your bright, beautiful future.

Wild Berries Prove Anti-Cancer Prowess A naturally occurring compound found abundantly in wild blackcurrants, bilberries and lingonberries increases the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to prevent tumors, report researchers from the University of Eastern Finland. The color-producing pigments known as anthocyanins were found to increase the cancer-fighting ability of sirtuin 6, part of a class of enzymes that regulate the expression of genes that control the function of cells via key signaling pathways. Aging causes changes in the function of sirtuins, which in turn contributes to the development of several diseases. Anthocyanins also color other berries, and earlier research from the UK University of East Anglia found that women eating blueberries and strawberries three or more times a week slashed their risk of heart attack by a third.

PUBLISHER'S PICK

Davide Di Giorgio, author of Being Unapologetic

first met Davide Di Giorgio at the San Diego Business Connector’s (SDBC) network group. I was immediately captivated by his authenticity, passion, tenderness and natural humor. He is simply adorable and lovable. His persona is magnetic. I recently attended his speaking event and was motivated and further impressed by the people he attracted. His humble success was soothing and inspiring. Personally, I prefer to tell my stories in writing. I’m not a fan of speaking in front of big groups and or having to perform at a certain date and time. My automatic anxiety switch goes on. I’ve been blessed by so many professional passionate speakers in my network groups. Di Giorgio is the one who triggered my passion button and my need to take my public speaking and my writing to another level. Yes, I booked a session with him. I can resonate with honesty, truth, humor, motivation, passion and perseverance. Di Giorgio’s latest book Being Unapologetic: Empowering You to Become an Influential Speaker and Visionary Leader is now #1 in six countries and I believe that number will grow by the time this issue is printed. I also believe that he will help take me to the next level. I’m not looking to be famous. I’m looking forward to shamelessly helping others while sharing my life stories. I will call it authentic audience attention. Tell your truth and you will be an organic coach. Delivery is the secret sauce I aim to achieve.

Identification Helps

The term “arthritis” can conjure images of aging cartilage worn thin by years of overuse. Yet this common type, known as osteoarthritis, is just one of many joint pain culprits. Rheumatoid arthritis,

Forever Flexible Keep Joints Naturally Healthy by Lisa Marshall

Creaky knees, sore hips, shoulder pain or a stiff neck can be a thing of the past.

hirty-seven percent of American adults 18 and older suffer from arthritis—a catch-all term for a dozen varieties of joint disease—according to the nonprofit Arthritis Foundation. One in two men and two in three women 65 or older may have it, estimates a recent Boston University study. Due to increasing obesity rates and autoimmune disorders, it’s also impacting 8 million Millennials, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I’m seeing higher rates, more severe

cases and more of them in younger people. It’s an epidemic no one is talking about,” says Dr. Susan Blum, a Rye Brook, New York, physician and author of Healing Arthritis: Your 3-Step Guide to Conquering Arthritis Naturally. About 65 percent of patients try to treat joint pain with daily anti-inflammatory drugs that can damage the stomach and kidneys. Many work and exercise less due to pain, making arthritis the leading cause of disability. More than 1 million undergo expensive, risky surgeries annually, with

which manifests in swelling and pain in the hands, wrists, feet or toes, arises when the body’s immune system attacks itself, destroying tissue around the joints. Spondyloarthritis inflames the spine and sometimes the eyes and gut. Infections like Lyme disease, parvovirus and hepatitis B can also ignite arthritic joint pain. Inflammation may exacerbate them all, so an anti-inflammatory program can typically provide relief, says Blum. Serious forms might require more aggressive treatments; a visit with an integrative clinician is an important first step.

Get Weight in Check

About one-third of obese people have arthritis, and research shows that with every pound lost, joint pain diminishes—

hip and knee replacements performed twice as often now as in 2000. Although conventional medicine maintains that drugs, surgery and reduced activity are inevitable, a new generation of clinicians disagree. They’ve seen how by losing weight, fighting inflammation with wholesome food and supplements, exercising smart and exploring science-backed integrative therapies, patients can manage the root causes of joint pain and find relief. “We have many tools at our disposal to halt or slow the progression of arthritis so most people never have to have surgery,” says Doctor of Naturopathy Casey Seenauth, a staff physician at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine Pain Relief Center, in Tempe, Arizona.

the lighter the load, the less the pressure on joints. A Wake Forest University study of knee osteoarthritis patients showed that with each 10 pounds lost, 40 pounds of pressure is lifted from the knee. “But it’s not simply about the load on the joints,” says Blum. Fat cells release compounds called inflammatory cytokines, which can boost inflammation and pain. And new research from the University of Rochester, in New York, suggests that obesity may also impair the gut microbiome (beneficial bacteria lining the gastrointestinal tract), further exacerbating arthritis. “There is no doubt that the gut bacteria are involved in the onset and perpetuation of inflammation and pain in arthritis,” says Blum. When researchers fed mice the equivalent of a “cheeseburger and milkshake” diet for 12 weeks, doubling their body fat, they found more pro-inflammatory bacteria in their colon, more cartilage deterioration than in lean mice and more inflammation in their knees.

Healing the Gut Heals Joints

Blum explains that dysbiosis, an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract, can damage its fragile lining, allowing bits of bacteria to enter the bloodstream and ignite an autoimmune response. Dysbiosis can be kick-started by antibiotics, drugs like proton pump inhibitors, bad diet or stress, says Blum, who battled autoimmune arthritis after her son had a traumatic accident. For curbing arthritis through the gut microbiome, the science is young. A few small human studies conducted in China and Finland suggest that ingesting specific strains of Lactobacillus (including casei, acidophilus, reuteri and rhamnosus) and Bifidobacterium (bifidum and infantis) may decrease inflammation and pain associated with arthritis. In the University of Rochester study, overweight mice fed prebiotics (indigestible fibers that good bacteria feed on) had less arthritis progression. Blum recommends taking antimicrobial herbs like oregano oil to heal a gut overgrown with bad bacteria and a high-

quality probiotic supplement to replenish good bacteria. She also suggests ditching processed food and products with refined sugar, along with known allergens like gluten, soy and dairy, which can spawn inflammation. Avoid nightshade vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes and peppers, which anecdotally have been suggested to aggravate joint pain. Overall, strive for a plant-based diet high in fiber, colorful, antioxidant-rich vegetables and “good” fats. One recent Michigan State University study found that when osteoarthritis patients switched to a plant-based diet for six weeks, they experienced less pain than those in the meat-eating control group.

Exercise Smart

When joint pain begins to flare up, a carefully chosen workout may be exactly what’s needed for relief. A.J. Gregg, a chiropractor in Flagstaff, Arizona, says, “There is an element of ‘use-it-or-lose it’.” The proper exercise depends partly on which joints are affected. He notes that properly executed strength training exercises like lifting weights can stabilize muscles around joints, easing strain and preventing arthritis from accelerating. Low-impact aerobic exercises like cycling or swimming can fuel the production and flushing of fluids through the joints without overloading them. Tai chi can improve range of motion. Even running, long falsely maligned as a precursor to arthritis, can help prompt cartilage cells to divide and replenish faster, research suggests. A study of 75,000 runners by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in California, found that they were less likely to develop osteoarthritis of the knee than less active people. A subsequent paper by University of Illinois researchers found that while each running step levels more force on joints than a walking step, the foot hits the ground less often, so when it comes to wear and tear, it approximates the effect of walking. “Running doesn’t set people up for earlier development of osteoarthritis, and can in fact be protective,” says Gregg, stressing that proper form, a soft running surface and moderation are all important.

Regenerative Injections

For more advanced cases of osteoarthritis, Seenauth recommends regenerative injections such as prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. For PRP, doctors draw some of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood and spin it down with a centrifuge to isolate platelets loaded with growth-promoting compounds. Then, they inject the platelets into the joint. A study of 78 patients with knee osteoarthritis published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that those receiving one or two PRP injections had significantly less pain and better function six months later, while the placebo group worsened. In prolotherapy, doctors inject natural substances like dextrose and saline into the joint two to three times for six to eight weeks to promote production of collagen and other tissue-regenerating compounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than inject a steroid, which provides a short-term fix by suppressing the immune response, we inject a concentrated solution that ignites the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

natural healing response,â&#x20AC;? says Seenauth.

A Mind-Body Approach

Natural joint pain remedies also encompass acupuncture and meditation. In the UK, a University of York meta-review of 114 studies exploring 22 integrative or complementary therapies for arthritis, including strength and aerobic exercise training, found acupuncture to have the most studies completed and the most promising results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acupuncture can be considered as one of the more effective physical treatments for alleviating osteoarthritis knee pain in the short term,â&#x20AC;? concluded the authors. University of Auckland researchers, in New Zealand, recruited 42 rheumatoid arthritis patients and assigned half to a program of mindfulness-based stress reduction, described by researchers as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cultivation of nonjudgmental attention to unwanted thoughts, feelings and bodily experiences via meditation.â&#x20AC;?

While the meditation group saw no change in levels of inflammatory markers in the blood or the number of swollen joints, they did report significantly less morning stiffness, tenderness and pain. The patients, in essence, trained themselves to experience their symptoms differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pain is not just about nerves detecting a noxious stimulant and sending the signal to your brain. The brain has a whole system for processing these signals, and is also informed by your experiences, emotions and cognition,â&#x20AC;? says Seenauth, who recommends mindfulness meditation to all of his patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the right nutrition, therapies and state of mind,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you can significantly reduce the impact joint pain has on your life.â&#x20AC;?

WHY OUR BODY LOVES YOGA

Gentle Poses Foster Flexibility by Marlaina Donato

lthough media coverage of yoga often highlights advanced yoga poses, the practice is not reserved solely for super-flexible folks. Benefits are available to everyone of any age or physical type. “Many people assume that yoga requires the ability to be a contortionist. Yoga is an internal process and can meet us wherever we are,” says yoga therapist Kimberly Carson, of Mindful Yoga Works, in Portland, Oregon. Springing from the theory that half of our capacity to become more flexible lies less in the muscles than in the nervous system, this calming practice helps the body release tension and achieve a suppler state.

Why it Works Yoga poses don’t need to be intense to have a significant effect. Gentle, regular practice can improve range of motion, increase muscle strength and promote circulation of the synovial fluid surrounding joints that supplies oxygen and nutrients to cartilage. “Basic yoga is just as beneficial as more advanced ideas of yoga, especially in terms of body awareness,” says Piper Abbott, an integrative yoga therapist and teacher who owns Burlington Yoga, in Burlington, Vermont. “Where our atten-

tion goes, energy flows. When we’re holding a posture and directing this focused awareness into the sensation of a stretch, we’re learning to read our body.” Agility is usually associated with muscles and joints, but underlying flexibility goes deep to further enhance wellness. Stiff muscles often go hand-inhand with stiff arteries, for example, but appropriate exercise can have a positive effect there, too. According to studies by physical therapist Miriam Cortez-Cooper, Ph.D., and her colleagues during her tenure at the University of Texas at Austin, stretching exercises performed for 11 weeks improved flexibility of the carotid artery—the main vessel that transports blood to the brain—by 23 percent. Such an increase did not result from aerobic exercise or strength training.

Every Body Can Benefit “Yoga is truly for any and every body. Flexibility or a lack thereof can be found in anatomies of any shape. Many options for poses exist to help you find the version that works best for you. Yoga props such as blocks and straps can provide support to encourage experimenting while ensuring a safe approach,” says

Anna Guest-Jelley, CEO of Curvy Yoga, in Portland, Oregon. She loves sharing the value of yoga with people of all sizes. “What’s important is working wherever you are within your current range of motion, so your body can open to new movements appropriately.” Maintaining a regular practice offers an opportunity for individuals living with chronic pain or undergoing cancer treatment to feel more at ease. “Even in cases of severe fibromyalgia, some movement is better than none, and can foster better sleep. Restorative sleep can help to heal microtears in muscles, which can be common. Non-goal-oriented yoga also offers layers of benefits for cancer patients, both supporting physical function, as well as offering a way to practice kindness towards the body/mind during tough times,” says Carson. For seniors, yoga is an excellent way to foster better flexibility, even in the presence of osteoarthritis. Studies conducted by Dr. Sharon Kolasinski, of the University of Pennsylvania, found that Iyengar yoga reduced joint stiffness and pain reduction during an eight-week period in people with knee osteoarthritis. Chair yoga, though popular with seniors, can introduce unnecessary risk if not tailored appropriately for those with osteoporosis, Carson cautions. “It’s important for older adults to find classes taught by appropriately trained instructors. Inappropriate chair sitting itself can compromise bone health, so teachers trained in spinal health and planes of action are recommended.” No matter the level of an individual’s agility, improved flexibility is a boon, especially when it goes beyond the physical to embrace mental and spiritual aspects. Abbott remarks, “Yoga has taught me not only how to move and relate to my body, but how to gracefully adjust to change and the challenges of life.” Marlaina Donato is a freelance writer and authors books related to the fields of alternative health and spirituality.

ith gratitude, I am approaching my ninth year of publishing Natural Awakenings in San Diego. I had set an intention of selling my publication after year five. However, life circumstances in conjunction with my love for publishing made me a healthy hostage to my beloved magazine. I have healed and grown in so many ways and helped countless others do the same. For any of you that travel back and forth across the country, you probably know that Natural Awakenings is saturated on the East Coast. There’s a Natural Awakenings magazine in almost every major city from Florida to New York. It has always been my mission from the start to help grow Natural Awakenings on the West Coast, and I believe its time for me to start that mission. Educating our communities and supporting our local businesses on alternative health and lifestyles is how and why Natural Awakenings magazines thrive. I am asking the Universe to provide us with more passionate publishers to plant the seeds we need to sustain. Anyone with this passion will succeed. If that anyone is you, contact us.

Living with Cat Allergies Simple Home Solutions that Help by Karen Shaw Becker

n estimated 10 percent of Americans are allergic to household pets, with sensitivities to cats twice as common as to dogs, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Most people with cat allergies react to Fel d 1, a protein found on cat skin, although other cat allergens are found on the fur, in saliva and even in their urine, reports a study in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The tiny Fel d 1 protein attached to a piece of airborne cat hair or skin can linger in the air for hours—much longer than a similarly released dog allergen. It’s also sticky, readily attaching to human skin and clothing, and can even easily transfer to catfree public locations such as a classroom.

Male cats tend to produce more of this allergenic protein than females, especially if they’re not neutered. However, all cats produce the Fel d 1 protein, and it’s unrelated to the amount of feline dander or shedding. Thus, no truly hypoallergenic cat breed exists, yet some breeds may be better for allergic pet lovers, say Austrian researchers in a study published in the journal Clinical and Translational Allergy. Many people are able to build up tolerance to their kitty over time. Before starting a relationship, first ensure the allergy is not severe. If allergy symptoms are more of a nuisance than a serious health threat, some options can help minimize the problem at home:

4 Clean the house often and thoroughly, including any surfaces that trap pet hair and dander like couch covers, pillows, bedding and pet beds. 4 Wash bed linens at least weekly in hot water. 4 Wash hands after handling the cat. After snuggling together, consider taking a shower and shampoo before retiring in order to avoid bringing kitty allergens to bed. 4 Feed kitty an anti-inflammatory (grainfree), balanced and species-appropriate diet. Reducing or eliminating the allergenic and genetically modified (GMO) foods a cat eats reduces the allergenic quality of their saliva. 4 Ensure optimal levels of essential fatty acids in their diet to reduce shedding and dander. 4 Bathe the cat regularly, taking care to use only a safe, non-drying, herbal animal shampoo. Karen Shaw Becker, a doctor of veterinary medicine, is a proactive integrative practitioner who consults internationally and writes for Mercola Healthy Pets (HealthyPets.Mercola.com).
