How to Move Past Food Sensitivities
Taking the Whole Body into Account
March 2017 | Tucson Edition | NaturalTucson.com
Thoughtful Medicine, PLLC Charles Knouse, D.O. Date: 2-1-2017 To: You Regarding: Your Life Dear Madam or Sir, In this modern, sometimes horrible era of medicine for patients with chronic illness, where insurance companies practice medicine without a license, patients need a doctor who will look deeper. If you have been told that the cause of your illness is an unsolved mystery… If you have been told that your illness doesn’t even exist, that it’s “all in your head”… Or that there are only drugs that make symptoms go away by killing parts of your immune system leaving you at risk for far more terrible diseases… I beg to differ. You have the right to a branch of pure science that isn’t sold on the stock market. A technique that descends straight from Pasteur and Koch, although it long ago contradicted one of the fundamental assumptions all modern medicine is based on. I invested thirteen years of my life and a quarter million dollars in debt to dedicate my career to the use of pure science in the healing of illness, and while I have absolutely no argument with the idea of immune-system-killing drugs to alleviate symptoms – it’s your life and your choice to do what you wish – that’s not what I do. I do live blood cultures that require only a few drops of your blood from a finger, and that can give answers you can see with your own eyes. Answers growing in front of your eyes despite tricky lab tests that are all negative. I ask you – if you can see it growing in your own blood, and you’re suffering from an illness that medicine tells you has no cause – don’t you think it’s worth treating for what is obviously growing, to see if you might get better? Modern medicine does not lack for absolutely wonderful drugs, break-throughs that easily get rid of many of the most terrifying micro-organisms and parasites – drugs like nitazoxanide, ceftriaxone, azithromycin, albendazole, a whole host of other –bendazoles, diethylcarbamazine, ivermectin, rifampin, doxycycline, and many more…and in addition we have absolutely marvelous herbs that complete the therapy, picking up where the drugs leave off, restoring natural function to the immune system and strengthening your body’s desire to be whole and well, herbs like artemisinin, reishi, rhodiola, milk thistle, cordyceps, CoQ10, and many more…and it doesn’t stop there; we also can include the amazing benefits of berry polyphenols such as blueberry concentrate and mixtures of berry reds, blues and purples, and there’s even more: oxygen therapies can tie it all together. What if the right wonder-drugs plus herbs plus berries and other gems of nutrition plus oxygen therapies not only cleared a horrifying micro-organism from your blood, but your symptoms also went away at the same time and…you started to get better? Wouldn’t that make you wonder a little? Or at least make you feel wonderful?? If you’d like to check your own blood for what might be destroying your life, all you have to do is call 520-284-2848 and talk to my secretary Sandee. She will send you a collection kit. There is no charge for the service. Let me repeat that – there is no charge for culturing your blood. A custom blood culture like this costs about $400 – you pay nothing. Your only cost is covering the twenty bucks for my out-of-pocket supplies: glass slides and cover slips, shipping to and from and handling, packaging, the culture media, the finger-stick apparatus, the EASY TO FOLLOW printed instructions – it takes 5 minutes and an intelligent 6-year old can do it – and if you decide to become a patient, I will even refund you the $20 for your supplies. And if you’re too scared to prick your own finger – I don’t blame you, I hate needles – come to my office and I’ll do it for you, no charge. Very Best Regards, in Christ’s Love (Who was a Scientist, by the way),
Dr Charles Knouse, D.O., Thoughtful Medicine, PLLC
P.S.: already have a physician you trust? I’m happy to help; just call Sandee and I’ll take care of your culture and send my thoughts to you and your physician.
Dr Knouse brings deep compassion, solid experience and scientific open-mindedness to an important range of illnesses: Lyme disease, Lyme coinfections (Bartonella, Babesia), Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s, ALS, MS, Lupus, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Parkinson’s, mental illnesses such as Depression, Bipolar and Conversion disorders that are actually neuropsychiatric manifestations of Lyme disease, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Sarcoidosis, Migraines (in my experience, virtually never actually migraines), and chronic pain. Modalities include live blood cultures, setting up home-administration of IV antibiotics, cutting edge nutraceuticals, oxygen therapy, cannabis therapy, Osteopathic Manipulation and carefully combined antibiotic and herbal protocols.

Call 520-284-2848 for an appointment. Live blood cultures, using only two drops of blood from a finger, are no charge. Colleagues are invitedawakenings to use my live blood culturing service at no charge – please call 520-284-2848 for details. Tucson natural

Empowerment through Boudoir Photography
L
ocal photographer Eric Smith, of Artistic Images Studio, specializes in beautiful, body-positive images, boosting confidence and self-love with the simple click of a camera shutter. His photos are clear and gorgeous–whether in color or black and white. Boudoir photography, subversive in the best way, frames women (or men, in the burgeoning ‘dude-oir’ style) as they are–beautiful, unique and glamourous. “Often, men are troubled at the thought of their partners being unclothed or partially clothed in the presence of others; however, when a woman is in front of the camera, and her partner is as excited as she, the joy is evident in her face, posture and the glow all about her,” Smith explains. His photographs immortalize that beauty, and allow couples to share it for years to come.

newsbriefs The Awakening Series with Local Metaphysicians
Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Program Workshop
A
our local metaphysicians will join forces to teach methods for overcoming and moving through challenges, in the first of a four-part seasonal series of workshops titled “Awakening Your Inner Healer”, from 1 to 5 p.m., April 1, at the Galactic Center. Kate Becker (Therapeutic Perfumer/Spiritual Life Coach and owner of Kate’s Magik), in collaboration with Dr. Jo Ruddy (metaphysical life coach and Master Clinical Hypnotherapist), Quynn Red Mountain (founder of The Institute of the Shamanic Arts and Animist Minister) and Dove Crawford (healer, yogini and guide), will share four different methods for overcoming and moving through physical, mental and spiritual challenges. All four women are dedicated professionals who have spent most of their life studying, applying and teaching various methods of spiritual transformation while experiencing its effects through the evolutionary healing of their own physical and emotional wounds. These teachings are for people who want to change their habits and transform their lives, as well as those who are struggling with ongoing physical and/or emotional challenges. The series may include: intention-based work, meditation techniques, drum journeying, movement, yoga, aromatherapy, storytelling, song, ritual and more.
unique, holistic and effective Parkinson’s disease treatment program will be introduced in a workshop by a panel of five practitioners, from noon to 5 p.m., April 29, at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center. All Parkinson’s patients, their family members and friends, support group leaders, caregivers and neurologists should attend. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that progresses Steve Liu slowly in most people. The U.S. Center for Disease Control rated complications from Parkinson’s disease as the 14th leading cause of death in the U.S. Worldwide, it is estimated four to six million people suffer from the disease. Current conventional treatments with medications and deep-brain stimulator may ease the symptoms but do little to slow the disease progression. Tucson licensed acupuncturist Steve Liu, of HanLing Acupuncture Healing Center, has developed an innovative and integrative approach to help slow or possibly even arrest the disease progression by combining evidence-based modalities including neuro-acupuncture, transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation therapies, movement and massage therapies, supervised forced exercise and nutrition coaching. “There is hope for Parkinson’s patients,” says Liu. “This program is the first of its kind in treating Parkinson’s disease naturally and holistically. Parkinson’s disease patients will receive tips they can apply right away to help improve their disease outcome.”

he spring Ajo Arts Weekend, a jam-packed weekend of arts and culture, with concurrent events happening across Ajo, will be held from March 24 through 26. Throughout the weekend in “Artists’ Alley”, artists will convene for Ajo’s biannual Street Art Gathering to paint large-scale murals.

Qigong: A State of Being
W
hat is the qigong state and how does it affect one’s own state of being? Qigong has been around for thousands of years and has been used to alter one’s state in many different ways. The practice itself uses specific movements, breathing techniques, visualizations and meditations. Simply doing the movements alone will automatically move the qi (chi) around the body in a harmonious way while quieting the mind. It then adds powerful visualizations, like seeing oneself as a graceful and beautiful bird while practicing Immortal Crane Drinking Water. Combined with deep belly breathing, this puts one in a qigong state where the whole sense of being enters a state of bliss. Healing and universal information can softly enter the body, removing blockages and providing the practitioner with a calmness that can power one through life’s daily challenges. This, however, is not the real purpose of higher level qigong practices. These are simply the side effects of a powerful qigong practice. Qigong allows us to reach such a calm state that the very core of our being starts raising its own internal qi, providing more power for one’s own soul to develop and grow to a higher level. Qigong is a spiritual practice meant to help us develop our spirit and truly know who we are. The connection one feels with the Earth, universe and all life around us helps to move one away from the third density and toward the fifth density. Living in fear of any sort, whether it’s terrorism, man-made or natural disasters, or the ever present political chaos, holds one back in the third density. Staying in the joy, calmness and compassion of the fifth density allows one to navigate the 3D world and continue to move forward into the fifth density. Frighetti teaches qigong practice at Desert Milagros, 3438 North Country Club Road, in Tucson, from 7 to 8:45 p.m., on Thursdays.

Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and PTSD
The Five-Second Rule Debunked
he five-second rule is a belief that food that falls to the floor can be safely eaten as long as it’s picked up quickly. Researchers from Rutgers University, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, sought to test its veracity. Four different food items were tested, including watermelon, bread and butter, plain bread and gummy candy, using four different surfaces–stainless steel, ceramic tile, wood and carpet. Each surface was contaminated by bacteria and completely dry before the scientists dropped each item for one second, five, 30 and 300 seconds. A total of 128 separate scenarios were repeated 20 times each and 2,560 measurements were taken and analyzed for contamination. The results proved that longer contact time resulted in more bacterial contamination, but there were also cases of instantaneous contamination, which disproves the five-second rule. The wet surface of a watermelon yielded the most contamination and gummy candy the least. The surface tests yielded surprising results, with carpet transferring significantly fewer bacteria than tile and stainless steel, while wood floors exhibited varied results.

No Benefit to Cutting Fat in Cheese
A
nyone that has struggled to reduce their intake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad” cholesterol) may have considered avoiding saturated fat in their diets, although the latest meta-study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine now refutes this. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark, conducted a test to determine if consuming low-fat versus regular cheeses impacts LDL cholesterol levels. The study divided 139 people into three groups. One ate regular fat cheese, one consumed reduced-fat cheese and one didn’t eat any cheese at all for 12 weeks. Both LDL and high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good” cholesterol) levels were tested at the beginning and end of the period. Researchers found no significant difference in the LDL levels of any of the groups and no difference between the HDL levels of the reduced-fat and regular cheese groups, suggesting that consuming low-fat versions has no measurable metabolic benefit. An increase in HDL levels among those that abstained from eating cheese altogether was noted.

hat do chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have in common? All three of these illnesses are devastating. They have many symptoms in common such as low energy, chronic pain, depression and poor sleep. For each of them there is no definitive diagnosis, so they are often misdiagnosed. There is often a feeling of hopelessness and being misunderstood. Most health professionals are trying to manage the symptoms of a person where multiple systems are failing. The benefits of these treatments are usually minimal and often the medications cause additional problems. The other factor these diseases have in common is that the nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight. The person is acting as if the stressful event or series of events is still occurring in the now moment. Their nervous system is stuck in a loop. The body prepares again and again for an event that is no longer happening. This chronic tension distorts the posture, diminishes breath and makes every organ strain. Over time, the body starts to break down from constantly having to be in protection mode. The nervous system needs reset so it can remember the relaxation response. When the relaxation response is activated, the blood pressure drops, the muscles relax and energy is freed up to start healing and repairing the body. The mind stops racing and the person can sleep better and make better choices. The whole cascade of illness begins to unwind and the person can become healthy and strong again. For many people who have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and PTSD, if they look back at their history, they were exhibiting fight-or-flight symptoms for decades before their body “collapsed” and the collection of symptoms were given a name. These symptoms of a nervous system in constant survival mode are poor posture, shallow breathing, chronic tight muscles, poor sleep, high blood pressure and a mind that won’t shut off. Those with any of the above symptoms can take action today before the problems worsen. The right chiropractor who knows how to reactivate the relaxation response can help turn on one’s healing power.

fter 25 years experience in medical practice and research, Dr. Hannah Hershoff decided to leave her lucrative medical doctor career to create healing jewelry. A phone chat with a cousin who took a trip from China totally changed Dr. Hershoff’s life. Dr. Hershoff learned that the mystiSara Yo cal stones from a remote area of Southeast China near her hometown have incredible spiritual healing properties. After extensive research, Dr. Hershoff discovered that the key element of the stones is a crystalline mineral, Kaolin, formed millions of years ago. During a long process using local water, wood and fire in a special kiln, the stones not only permanently formed their gorgeous colors and shine, but also gained their Five-Element natural energy. About 2000 years ago, the Chinese Royal family exclusively owned the mines. This information excited Dr. Hershoff enormously. She further consulted with spiritual healers and decided to test the healing effects of the stones. Dr. Hershoff created her bracelets with these healing stones and gifted or sold to women with various levels of spirituality. A few weeks after wearing these eye-catching bracelets, three out of four women reported they gained confidence, improved their selfimage, sensed more connections to loved ones, and experienced a reduction in anxiety. A year later, Hannah and her husband started a company and named their kaolincomprised pieces, Sara Yo Healing Stones. Hershoff says, “I am so glad I have made this career change decision, as each day I learn more about how Sara Yo helps women physically and emotionally. I am so fortunate to do something I am extremely passionate about!”
Botanical Breakthrough
In many large commercial chicken farms, the animals are fed antibiotics to keep them healthy and fight off infections. But due to consumer demand, McDonald’s has eliminated antibiotics used in human medicine from its entire restaurant chicken supply. Meanwhile, a farm in Pennsylvania owned by Scott Sechler is among the first to rely solely on a mix of oregano oil and cinnamon in the treatment and care of its chickens. In addition to being completely natural, oregano oil supplies the chickens with health advantages, producing a much higher quality of natural chicken in a far more humane method than that attained using antibiotics. Like antibiotics, the oil assists the chickens in battling any infections, reducing the number of birds lost to disease. Bob Ruth, president of another Pennsylvania farming business, has been testing oregano on his pigs for six months to see if it can outperform prescription antibiotics. Related problems arise when animals live in dirty conditions, making them more susceptible to infections and viruses, which can also be triggered by insufficient cleansing of slaughterhouses that must be hosed down and completely sanitized after each act of butchery. He thinks that drugs should not be a requirement if the farmers keep things tidy.
Bag Ban
California Outlaws Single-Use Plastic Bags California’s ongoing ban on single-use plastic carryout bags, approved by 52 percent of voters, is setting a notable precedent for other states. A coalition of environmental groups, grocers and others are collaborating, and Mark Murray, of Californians Against Waste, welcomes elimination of the 25 million plastic bags that pollute California every day, threatening wildlife. In 2007, San Francisco first banned plastic shopping bags, setting off a movement that led nearly half the state, including its biggest cities, to do the same. Although the legislature passed a statewide ban on plastic bags two years ago, paper bags are still for sale at grocery stores and other outlets for a nominal fee.

Laundry Machines Boost School Attendance Kids in middle schools with attendance problems may simply lack clean clothes to wear. An experiment by the Whirlpool company has taken on the issue with significant results. The Whirlpool Care Counts Program donated 17 pairs of washers and dryers to school districts in St. Louis and Fairfield, California. Kids with attendance problems were asked to bring their laundry to be cleaned while they were in class. Each student had approximately 50 loads of laundry done at school during the year, and more than 90 percent increased their attendance, with at-risk students attending almost two more weeks in class. Whirlpool is now expanding the program. Compared to factors such as economic opportunity, unemployment and institutional racism, laundry might seem inconsequential, but for a 10-year-old facing stacked odds, having nothing clean to wear could be the deciding factor in whether or not they want to face their classmates that day. Seventh-grade teacher Alison Guernsey, in Fairfield, says, “One of my students had more or less withdrawn from school completely. After we started the program, he was more excited about coming and started to actively engage in class. He didn’t feel like an outsider anymore.”

loud Nine Flotation & Relaxation is currently seeking funding to be able to provide Tucson veterans and first responders with the opportunity to float for free on the 11th of each month. According to owner Kalyn Wolf, many current clients have donated floats from their packages to the project. A video is being planned as well for an online fundraiser. The float center is now looking for veterans and first responders who are interested in a special float program at a very low cost. Flotation therapy and sensory deprivation tanks have been in the news a lot lately, especially in the field of sports. Many of the Patriots have been floating since 2014 and The Cubs since 2016. For athletes, floating can provide greater focus, deep relaxation and remarkably fast recovery. “But another benefit of floating in 800 pounds of magnesium is the synergy attained when combined with dark and quiet,” explains Wolf. “It creates a safe and womb-like environment that is perfect for people suffering from PTSD. It is because of tested results in the military through both the Navy Seals recovery center and private float centers that veterans and first responders have found tremendous relief from the symptoms of PTSD.” Location: 2118 S.

amalia the Patagonia Psychic is now offering Intuitive Coaching as a follow-up service to her psychic readings. She has read for many men and women who walk intense and difficult paths. Many of her customers feel overwhelmed by the enormity of what the Light directs them to do. Her new service “helps people bravely step onto the path the Light is forging for them,” she says. “The Light sends us many challenges, especially if we are on a spiritual path,” Jamalia says. “It’s one thing to know what needs done. It’s another to do it.” During psychic readings, Jamalia sets aside her conscious mind and shares the information the Light sends to her. She sets the intent to cross back into conscious mind only when the Light prompts her. During Intuitive Coaching, she reverses that order. She asks the Light’s input as she draws upon: her experiences and personal growth, training in Family Jamalia Systems Theory, Taoist meditative practices, energy work, empath and psychic abilities and the client’s previous reading(s).

The natural approach to health may address lifestyle, and early interventions can begin so as to lower risks seen on the thermograms. Follow-up thermograms for comparative purposes can offer information as to the effectiveness of these interventions. Witt perceives that thermograms are an integral part of preventative medical care as her clients utilize breast, upper-body and full-body imaging to observe how stress, pro-inflammatory diet, lymphatic congestion, hormonal imbalances and myofascial dysfunction can all be addressed to alleviate risks associated with disease and pain.

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging Your path to wellness might begin with a thermogram from Lynda Witt, CCT, who has been administering thermography screening tests for 11 years. Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) determines risk factors for disease based on inflammatory patterns. The technology assesses skin surface temperatures emitted by each individual. These patterns are stable over time; therefore, repeat imaging to monitor for increase or decrease in skin surface temperatures offers valuable 26

It also provides more of an internal soaking which often improves overall results,” she notes. Once colon function is optimized, colon hydrotherapy sessions can be performed on a monthly or seasonal maintenance schedule. “Go with the flow–the road to health is paved with good intestines,” she opines.
Functional Medicine – Finding the Cause Naturopathic physician, Dr. DeeAnn G. Saber, NMD, practices functional medicine, which takes into account the whole person (body, mind and spirit). She emphasizes the doctor-patient relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, whether conventional or alternative. She describes herself as a “medical detective” and is more comprehensive than most doctors. “I love what I do, and my visits are very in-depth. The initial intake is two hours,” says Saber. “We always start with the smallest impacting treatment in order to assist your body’s natural healing ability to put you back in balance. Through blood tests, hair analysis, saliva testing and physical exam, a full and comprehensive evaluation is utilized to determine possible causes of patient illness. By addressing those causes, you begin to see an improvement in the way you feel–energy levels increase, sleep quality improves and overall outlook on life improves,” she adds. Saber graduated from Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. She is a specialist in endocrinology, including the thyroid, hormones, adrenals and neurotransmitter systems. She is also a specialist in gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, she is a Native American Shamanic Practitioner and a massage therapist, so she can offer several modalities to help her patients heal. As a testament to her commitment to help and empower her patients, Saber was recently given an award as “Most Caring Doctor” in the nation through SmartNDBiz.com.

but direct guidance, her patients find answers to their struggles. As a result, they see their journey more clearly, with less self-criticism and more self-love. The level of hypnotic trance may vary individually. However, the person doesn’t have to be in an unconscious state to get positive results. Ruddy uses a loving, clear, direct manner through NLP and unconscious dialogue to point out options and to create change in one’s perspective subconsciously. She can also desensitize painful memories while coaching a patient through shifting one’s perspective. Ruddy recommends reading books by lifestyle experts Carl Jung, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle and Mark Nepo. She also offers past life regression for those who want to pursue past life experiences. Psychotherapist Jodi Hardy, MA, CHt, is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a certified heart-centered hypnotherapist. Hardy, who formerly worked at Sierra Tucson, learned to focus on root causes. Hardy refers to her approach as “going through the back door” to zero in on the source of the problem. Because she starts with hypnosis, she can often find the base reason straight away behind the presenting issues. She likes looking for the underlying cause, and she then assists the patient in addressing the core cause of it. She specializes in working with women and children. “I like working with children because children are fresh and open to making changes,” she expresses. Spirituality is an important component of mental and physical health. People who search for meaning in their lives have lower levels of inflammation and less risk of disease.

Ending Common Pain Cycles Zachary Saber, LMP, BS, MA is a licensed massage therapist who practices myofascial release and structural integration. He describes his craft of myofascial release (MFR) as an energybased, physical manipulation to release stored emotions held in the body due to injury, trauma, overuse or repetitive use, surgical interventions, etc. Any trauma to the body, physical or emotional, can cause the sliding surfaces between muscles or scar tissues to become adhesive and cause pain when one moves or stretches. “Myofascial release has a profound effect on relieving pain and improving circulation. It can improve sleep cycles as well.” “Through myofascial release, painfree movement can be restored and balance can be improved,” he says. His regular clients include police officers, firefighters, tennis players, golfers, swimmers and professional athletes. Saber also alleviates pain in patients with fibromyalgia, MS and neck and back injuries. He has numerous instances of ending chronic migraines for a number of clients through the use of physical manipulation. Saber is frequently able to help

patients who are facing surgery, so that they can avoid the more invasive procedure. “Pain cycles do not have to be permanent dysfunctions in your life and are often treatable with less invasive measures,” he notes. Saber has undergone a great deal of training in structural integration. Additionally, he has worked with a Rolfer, a neurologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon. From his extensive background of education and experience, he has learned how to end common pain cycles for his patients.

“Most of what we’re seeing today is an uptick in food sensitivities and intolerances, terms that are often used interchangeably to describe foods that are not digested well and can challenge the immune system,” says Solana Beach, California, nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet. Newark, Delaware, medical doctor and allergist Junfang Jiao, Ph.D., attests to increased levels of testing for food allergies and sensitivities in recent years. “I can’t say there are more allergies or sensitivities, but more doctors are aware of the wide-ranging symptoms and more people are getting referred for testing,” he reports. Many experts agree on at least one underlying cause behind the trend–a widely studied condition called leaky gut, characterized by intestinal permeability.

omplaints of digestive upsets, brain fog, headaches, relentless food cravings and unrelieved stress appear to be at epidemic levels these days. “These symptoms may be part of newfound awareness of the wideranging and seemingly unrelated health problems caused by food sensitivities and intolerances, which are different from food allergies,” explains microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, from Chicago.
Food Allergies
Food allergies seem to be plaguing America’s children now more than in the past. We know that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, once standard lunchbox fare, have become a no-no. They’re often outlawed by schools to protect the students that experience extreme peanut allergies. The symptoms of food allergies in adults and children, often including 30

Toxicology. They concluded with a plea to world governments to reconsider policies regarding the safety of glyphosate residues in foods. GMOs: While this issue has been less widely analyzed, a 1996 study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology found that the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin added to Monsanto’s GMO corn crops to kill pests is not destroyed during human digestion. Danish researchers at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University suggested it may damage cells of the intestinal lining. Gluten: “Gluten causes leaky gut,” says Port Jefferson, New York, naturopathic doctor Doni Wilson, author of The Stress Remedy, voicing one side of the controversy based on her review of
scientific literature. She’s concluded, “Whether you are sensitive to it or not, gluten increases the production of zonulin, which can result in damage to intestinal walls and cause the cells on the outside of the intestines to set off an immune response to anything that passes through. In this condition, what we’re eating–cheese, milk, eggs, corn, soy–is leaking through the gut lining, triggering an immune response and potentially creating multiple food sensitivities.” Wilson also notes that in her clinical experience, only about half of her patients with gluten sensitivities complain of digestive issues. “I’ve found that gluten causes the immune cells on the outside of the small intestine to affect the nervous system, causing headaches,
anxiety, depression and insomnia,” she says. Her findings are backed by research from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Celiac Research and Italy’s University of Catania. The same researchers confirm that non-celiac gluten sensitivity or intolerance can also foster depression; a University of Cincinnati study published in the journal Headache links gluten and headaches. Other proteins in wheat can be problematic, advises Fiona McCulloch, a Toronto doctor of naturopathy, citing a study presented at the annual European Gastroenterology Conference, in Vienna, last October. The report showed that a family of proteins called amylase trypsin inhibitors can lead to the development of inflammation in tissues beyond the

acid and reach the small intestine where they are most needed. Krishnan’s research, to be published this spring, showed that half of otherwise healthy young people suffering from leaky gut had a dramatic reduction of symptoms by taking a spore-forming probiotic Bacillus indicus product for 30 days. After the healing period, sensitive people may be able to eat small amounts of certain foods with the assistance of dietary aids and supplements, adds McCulloch. Get dirty: Johns Hopkins University research has shown that kids raised in an excessively hygienic environment experience much higher rates of allergies and sensitivities. University of Wisconsin researchers found that youths growing up in households that are less than obsessively sanitary among four or five other people and dogs will strengthen and challenge their immune systems as they mature. Adults need to challenge their immune systems, too, says Krishnan. Eat organic and fermented foods: A widely varied diet helps spread out the immune system challenges of trigger foods. Organic foods don’t contain glyphosate and other potentially harmful chemicals; fermented foods contain digestive enzymes. Eat prebiotics: Raw onions, garlic, leeks and asparagus are prebiotics. They help feed probiotic bacteria and improve gut health. Block sensitivity triggers: Many people with lactose intolerance are able to consume dairy products if they use lactase, the enzyme that helps digest lactose. Similarly, some people with gluten intolerance find they can eat moderate amounts of wheat products with protein supplements like lectin, carb blockers and digestive enzymes that help break down the gluten molecules, according to Virgin. Supplements that might help: Glucomannan (konjac or elephant yam fiber) contributes to a feeling of fullness and stabilizes blood sugar, says McCulloch. She also recommends the amino acid L-glutamine and digestive enzymes to assist in gut healing. Kathleen Barnes is the author of numerous natural health books. Connect at KathleenBarnes.com.
Food Sensitivities as Leaky Gut Syndrome by Charles Knouse
A
re food sensitivities allergies? Occasionally–but 80 to 95 percent of food sensitivities are actually damage to the gut by poisons or infections, i.e. leaky gut syndrome. Heal the gut and heal the sensitivity–but first we have to stop the cause: the poisoning or infection. Some pollutants damage the gut every time we are exposed. Roundup (glyphosate, Monsanto) contributes to gut damage when we eat a food contaminated with the herbicide, which now is every food we have except those grown absolutely organically. Some foods can cause damage directly, with tomatoes and potatoes as examples. Chronic infections, especially Lyme disease, cause gut damage, and Lyme sufferers quickly develop a long list of food sensitivities. So, when we consider food insensitivities, we should be having thoughtful discussions about what underlying poison or infection is actually causing leaky gut syndrome and leading to the insensitivities.

or those dealing with allergies and food sensitivities, it can be a nightmare trying to figure out what to eat, how to get a healthy diet, how to deal with all the symptoms and how to get help and make the nightmare disappear. I start with a comprehensive blood metabolic panel, a 198-food hypersensitivity panel and recommend food allergy skin testing. Other testing may be required from information gleaned for these initial tests. Once this information is compiled, they can determine not only foods to avoid and include, but any nutrition needed to detox and rehabilitate the digestive system. Many have heard terms like leaky gut, histamine reactions, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s and celiac. All these conditions affect one’s ability to absorb nutrition, and any inability to absorb leads to mild to severe symptoms, an unfortunate demise in health and quality of life. “Healthy gut, healthy brain” is a saying in neurology. Research shows that when one has digestive issues, it affects the brain significantly. Nathan S. Conlee, D.C., practices at Performance Neurology. Connect at 520-322-6161 or PerformanceNeurology.com.

What Scores Mean
18 or above – You most likely struggle with food intolerances that create many unpleasant symptoms and stall fat loss. By removing the seven target foods for just three weeks, you’ll see these symptoms disappear and the scales will start moving again. 10 to 17 – You display some of the symptoms that food intolerances can trigger. You would greatly benefit from eliminating target foods to lose symptoms and those last few pounds. Below 10 – While you suffer few of the symptoms brought about by food intolerances, you could still benefit from the same regimen. Even the healthiest person can take their game up a notch and ditch those last few stubborn pounds. Source: The Virgin Diet, by JJ Virgin

What Type of Food Allergy Testing Makes Sense for You? by DeeAnn Saber
T
here are two workable ways to determine food issues: get tested or do the elimination/challenge. The elimination/challenge is free and effective, but it can be very time consuming. One needs to keep track of what they eat, and when, and how much, to accurately determine what is bothering them. Many may have had the skin scratch tests for various allergens. There is usually an immediate, delayed or no reaction to the variety of items that are introduced through the scratched area. The area can get red, swollen or itchy. Traditionally, these are trees, grasses and/or animal allergens. Rarely are foods checked this way. Food testing is best done through blood work. Our local labs, LabCorp and Sonora Quest, do some food allergens–generally up to 27 items. More in-depth testing can be done through a variety of national labs. Some of these companies test up to 237 different foods. Additional testing such as molds, antibiotics, cross-reactivities are also available. Some labs test raw and cooked food proteins, which give a greater percent of reproducibility and accuracy, while others test using synthetic food proteins. All companies check for IgG immune markers, which show delayed sensitivities or intolerances. IgG reactions can show up as itching, brain fog, headaches, gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea/constipation), ex-
cess gas, depression, dizziness, fatigue, skin issues or insomnia. There are many other disorders that can cause these symptoms as well, so it is best to get a full work-up with a doctor to be sure. Traditional IgE testing is done for items
that cause immediate and problematic reactions, such as swelling of the throat, lips, eyes and hives or rashes. We all want to feel great, to have plenty of energy, no pain, no headaches and no gut problems. Everyone can improve what they put in their mouths and the benefits are multifactorial. By eating local, organic, fresh and seasonal foods, as well as drinking plenty of clean water, all systems will improve. These actions also improve our economy by supporting local farmers, which ripples out to improve the environment. Dr. DeeAnn G. Saber, NMD is part of WellnessFirst!, a collaborative, holistic community of practitioners in Tucson, dedicated to personal integrity, professionalism and service. Saber is running a special on food allergy labs through April. This will test 157 foods for $750 (half off normal retail) and includes the cost of the blood draw.

Kondrot advises that avoiding foods that trigger allergic reactions is important. “A study of 113 patients with chronic simple glaucoma showed an immediate increase in pressure in the fluid inside the eye when they were exposed to foods to which they were allergic. Take up meditation, yoga, tai chi or any other practice that helps you manage stress and relax,” he advises. “Some consider glaucoma a stress-related condition.” The best strategy for healthy eyes is to have regular eye examinations. Early detection and prompt treatment can prevent significant vision loss.

magine an exercise system that strengthens the body enough to be used in training world-class athletes, stretches more safely than any form of yoga and expands the core training concepts of Pilates into natural full-body movements like those used in everyday reaching and walking, along with jumping and swimming. This is the Gyrotonic system,” says Angela Crowley, a Gyrotonic master teacher, trainer and exercise spa owner in Coral Gables, Florida. A former gymnast and dancer, Crowley took to the Gyrotonic approach after being severely injured in an automobile accident. “Traditional physical therapy only addressed certain aspects without bringing me back to normal,” she says. “Running and yoga felt intolerable.

“The Gyrotonic system combines elements from many different modalities into three-dimensional, circular movements. A primary focus is on all the different motions of the spine and how to create rhythmic, flowing movement within the entire body,” says Stefani Schrimpf, Gyrotonic instructor and studio owner of Physiques, in Overland Park, Kansas. “The exercises strengthen, lengthen and stretch muscles, while stimulating connective tissues around the joints. They also improve balance, flexibility and coordination. This system allows you to push beyond specific limitations and to isolate and fine tune movement skills,” says Schrimpf. While a Gyrotonic workout has similarities to yoga and Pilates, it is also unique. According to Melissa Jutras, a Pilates instructor, weightlifting coach, personal trainer and gym/ studio owner of Big Blue Strength, in Lexington, Kentucky, “Hatha yoga is a series of static postures, whereas Pilates and Gyrotonic movements focus on flow, using equipment to enhance core strength, stability, control, coordination and flexibility. The difference is that Gyrotonic exercises works on three
dimensions with every circular movement, like the body naturally moves. It uses weights and a pulley system, whereas Pilates is more linear and uses spring tension.” Jutras believes the Gyrotonic system, Pilates and yoga all complement weightlifting and strength training, affording a mind-body balance. “The body then experiences low- and high-threshold exercise, low-intensity and high-intensity, weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activity,” she says.

Crowley sees the Gyrotonic approach complementing virtually any activity. “The exercises help practitioners learn how to move more efficiently, easily, powerfully, gracefully and successfully in every facet of life.” The method is also offered without equipment in the form of Gyrokinesis, a flowing class done on a chair, mat and standing. This affordable option can be practiced independently at home. “My youngest client is 7, my oldest is 94,” relates Crowley. “We have clients that have become bored by repetitive exercise and enjoy the limitless variations of movements that keep both their minds and muscles alert. We have chronic pain clients that have exhausted other medical options and are improving their ability to function more optimally and enjoying their lives again.” Both Schrimpf and her husband, Juan Trujillo, teach the Gyrotonic method. “Our greatest reward is the feedback we get. Once people try it, they’re hooked,” she says. “It transforms how people think about movement and brings a sense of joy and accomplishment. They feel their joints becoming more supple and balanced, and find their bodies responding well to the natural movement patterns.”

Thumbs-Up on Fats Good Fat Doesn’t Make Us Fat by Judith Fertig
I
n an era of too much information, the role of fats in our diet has been a victim of not enough information. Today’s turnaround in nutritional thinking acknowledges natural fats as being vital to heart health and weight loss.

A recent metastudy in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a journal of the American College of Physicians, concluded that saturated fat does not appear to increase heart disease risk, overturning almost 60 years of accepted medical thought. The researchers analyzed data from 76 studies involving more than 600,000 people and found that those that ate the most saturated, or “bad”, fat did not show a higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared with those that ate the least. Note that processed trans fats remain a villain, still deemed a risk to heart health per the metastudy. The misleading information began in the 1950s, when Physiologist Ancel Keys, Ph.D., discovered a correlation between diets high in saturated fats and higher cholesterol levels. Soon, the lowfat diet was born. In 2000, further research introduced the concepts of good and bad fats. More recent analysis confirmed this finding with the refinement that saturated fats increase both types of cholesterol. How-

ever, the latest research from the journal BMJ shows that saturated fat does not increase the number of LDL, or “bad”, particles, a predictor of cardiovascular disease. Instead, it makes existing LDL particles larger, a fairly benign situation in regard to such disease.
Weight Loss Benefit
Fat doesn’t even make you fat, claims Mark Hyman, a well-known medical doctor in Lenox, Massachusetts, and author of Eat Fat, Get Thin: Why the Fat We Eat Is the Key to Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health. “The theory that all calories have the same impact on your weight and metabolism remains one of the most persistent nutrition myths,” says this practitioner of functional medicine who points out that we’ve been sidetracked by wrong thinking. “Eating fat can make you lean. Healthy cell walls made from highquality fats are better able to metabolize insulin, which keeps blood sugar better regulated. Without proper blood sugar control, the body socks away fat for a rainy day. The right fats also increase fat burning, diminish hunger and reduce fat storage,” he notes. Whole30, a 30-day diet revolving around clean eating, also emphasizes healthy fats. Devised in 2009 by Dallas Hartwig, a functional medicine practi-
tioner and certified sports nutritionist, and Melissa Hartwig, a certified sports nutritionist, the program aims to reduce inflammation, detoxify the body and reset metabolism. The Salt Lake City, Utah, authors of the New York Times bestselling The Whole30 recommend healthy fats to keep us full and rev up metabolism. Recommended healthy fats include coconut milk and oil, avocados, olive oil, organic ghee (clarified butter) and raw nuts. Josh Axe, a natural medicine practitioner and clinical nutritionist in Nashville, Tennessee, recommends the healthy fats contained in avocados, organic butter and ghee from grass-fed cows and goats, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, walnuts, chia seeds and flax seeds. “Butter’s experiencing a comeback as a healthy fat as its benefits become more widely known,” says Axe. “The omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in butter help the brain function properly and improve skin health.” Ghee, an ancient Indian version of butter, is lactose- and casein-free, while being loaded with fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E, says Axe. These vitamins are best
absorbed by the body when they’re in a fat substance and then stored in the gastrointestinal tract, keeping metabolism and digestion on track, he notes. Ghee’s high level of vitamin K2, best known as a natural blood coagulator, “also helps strengthen bones, while the fatty acids found in it improve digestion and reduce inflammation.”
Healthy Levels of Fat
The secret of
getting ahead is getting started. ~Mark Twain
“If you’re active, about 40 percent of your calories should come from carbohydrates, another 30 percent from protein and the other 30 percent from fat in general,” says Axe, adding that this has the added benefit of helping prevent arteriosclerosis. “Some people may consume a greater percentage of healthy fats if the goal is to become a fat burner.” “There is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss and health,” Hyman reminds us. “Low-carb, higherfat diets work for most people, but for some, they may not be optimal in the long term.” Judith Fertig writes food health articles and cookbooks from Overland Park, KS (JudithFertig.com).

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR ITCHY PETS
Gentle Ways to Calm Allergies

R
ather than routinely giving drugs to dogs and cats to relieve dry, itchy, skin or food allergies, consider more gentle natural alternatives. As with people, knowing what an animal is allergic to is key to finding the right remedy and preventing future outbreaks. With dogs, about 20 percent of itching and scratching can be attributed to food ingredients. Symptoms can show up as early as 5 months or as late as 12 years old, often combined with inhalant or contact allergies. Chronic ear infections are often traced to food allergies. “If a pet is suffering mightily, see your veterinarian for shots or pills for immediate relief. Then ask the vet to allergy test for the specific problem,” advises Veterinarian Laurie Dohmen, owner of Purple Moon Herbs and Studies, in Hartly, Delaware. “This isn’t something you can do yourself. I’ve seen pet owners use what worked for a friend’s dog and make their own pets sicker, despite research and good intentions. What works for one pet won’t necessarily work for another.” While food elimination testing works, it’s a long process that must be done

with precision. “If your pet even just nibbles the eliminated food, you have to start all over again,” says Dohmen. Whether commercially prepared or home cooked, the number of ingredients can substantially extend a test period. Each item must be completely avoided for about six weeks for an accurate assessment. Environmental allergies, which encompass everything unrelated to food, range from common grasses to inhaled pollutants. New carpets or rugs, cleaning supplies, a neighbor’s pesticides, dust and pollen are among the culprits that can cause an allergic reaction. Common symptoms are itchy ears or skin, ear infections, sneezing, runny eyes, scratching, vomiting or diarrhea. Veterinarian Judy Morgan, owner of Naturally Healthy Pets, in Clayton, New Jersey, also uses herbs in her practice to alleviate food and environmental allergy symptoms. “They can be tinctures or poultices; one herb or a blended mixture. Some are applied externally, some internally.” Giving the proper dosage for the size of the pet is vital. She particularly likes calendula for hot spots,

despite its odor, because it’s antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral, followed by witch hazel to dry them, and then coconut oil or aloe to soothe and soften affected skin–plus Echinacea to boost the immune system. She uses ginger or peppermint to counteract nausea. “Many people think an allergic pet should be switched to a lamb and rice diet. In some cases, that makes dry, itchy, skin worse,” she says. “That’s why it’s important to know what they are allergic to before trying out new foods or herbal remedies. Find a holistic vet to work with.” Morgan often prescribes a mixture of herbs for the best results. “I like licorice because it works like a steroid without the side effects. Probiotics help keep gut bacteria and the immune system healthy. Parsley works well for dry, itchy, skin caused by a blood deficiency, or imbalance. “Parsley brings a protein, as well as several vitamins, to the party,” notes Kimberly Gauthier, a dog nutrition blogger in Marysville, Washington. “It’s a natural anti-inflammatory and also great if your dog’s breath needs a freshness boost.” She suggests rosemary and thyme as ingredients in an antibacterial, antifungal salve; she mixes these essential oils with extra virgin coconut oil and beeswax to create paw balm. Morgan reminds us that essential oils can be harmful, even life-threatening, for cats. “If Kitty has itchy skin, lavender tea can be used as a rinse on cooperative cats,” she suggests. “For a less cooperative feline, chamomile tea as a drink or as leaves mixed into the food soothes itches.” Dohmen cautions, “Herbs and other homeopathic remedies or flower essences are medicine and should be given as a prescription by a qualified veterinarian.” Connect with freelance writer Sandra Murphy at StLouis FreelanceWriter@ mindspring.com.
