ESSENTIAL OILS FOR DENTAL HEALTH Medicinal plants are at the core of ancient and modern medical treatment. In fact, most modern medications are synthetic recreations or derivatives of natural plant compounds. Today more and more people are eschewing synthetic medicine in favor of natural remedies. Essential plant oils contain a great majority of medicinal plant compounds that can be used to help heal our bodies and soothe our spirit.

Anxiety Reduction One of the best uses of essential oils in dentistry is for reducing anxiety and alleviating tension. It is no secret that many people are afraid or at least nervous at the dental office. It is not surprising that fear of dentistry is one of the top three reasons for dental neglect and procrastination of treatment. Numerous clinical studies have supported the anxietyreducing effects of various essential oils during dental treatment by reducing the stress hormone cortisol. As we live longer, keeping our teeth for a lifetime can be a challenge. When fear keeps you from taking care of your dental health, it can quickly deteriorate to a point requiring more extensive time and money-consuming treatment.

Quality is Key As with any natural remedy, the quality of the product is critical. Few companies produce high quality organic food grade oils. While some companies come close, doTERRA is focused on providing oils of the highest quality. We exclusively use doTERRA oils due to the strict standards of climate, soil, growing conditions, cultivation and plant quality. The oils are collected through a "cool water extraction" process to preserve its therapeutic properties. The essential oils are organic and kosher. Due to their purity, edible oils can be applied topically, and ingested or used in cooking.

The typical "dental office smell" of eugenol or formocresol is disturbing for many anxious patients as it brings back bad dental memories. In contrast, a number of essential oils can help reduce anxiety, especially in the dental office. At the Long Island Center for Healthier Dentistry, we have found that diffusing calming oils such as Lavender, Wild Orange, Lime or Vanilla improves mood and reduces anxiety for our patients and staff.

Several companies combine essential oils for a synergistic effect such as doTERRA's Serenity. For the very anxious patient, calming oils can be applied to the palms and inhaled before a dental visit or applied directly to the temples, back of the neck and soles of the feet.

Powerful Disinfectant Many essential oils have strong germ-killing properties. Oils of oregano and tea tree oil (melaluca) have been used for thousands of years to disinfect cuts, burns and ulcers.

The oil blend made by doTERRA called OnGuard contains a powerful combination of oils that has published research on reducing biofilm and bacteria in the mouth. When applied to a surgical site such as after tooth extraction or gum surgery, healing occurs faster and better, with less post surgical pain. In addition, diffusing OnGuard into the office environment improves air quality by killing off airborne germs.

Oil Pulling Another great way to use essential oil is to add it to your oil pulling rinse. Oil pulling is an ancient ayurvedic method for cleansing the mouth. It involves taking a table-

spoon of oil and swishing it around in the mouth for about 20 minutes until the oil turns white which means that bacteria, viruses and other microbes have been “pulled” from the gums and the hard-to-get-to areas between the teeth into the rinse. You would then spit this solution out. It is recommended that you use liquid coconut oil as the oil of choice as coconut contains lauric acid which inhibits Strep mutans which are the primary bacteria that cause tooth decay. Recent studies have shown that coconut oil helps in the prevention of tooth decay. Dr. Shvartsman adds doTERRA oregano, melaluca, and peppermint oils to his Dr. Shvartsman's Ayurvedic Oil Pulling Rinse.

Aromatherapy Aromatherapy using high quality essential oils has been around since ancient times. "Modern medicine" has disregarded essential oils healing properties in favor of synthetic drugs and surgery. Today, as people seek more natural approaches to health care, essential oil use is growing in popularity as the public as well as doctors rediscover their many beneficial uses. We are proud to have incorporated essential oils into our integrative dental practice.

The Top 5 Essential Oils (EO) for Healthy Teeth and Gums: Cinnamon EO: Is antifungal and antibacterial. Recent research conducted in New Zealand shows that cinnamon EO has the greatest antimicrobial potency against streptococcus mutans, the bacteria responsible for tooth decay, and lactobacillus plantarum, one of the bacteria responsible in gum disease.

Peppermint EO: Researchers have found that peppermint EO is extremely effective at killing anaerobic bacteria, the kind that causes periodontal disease. Plus, peppermint has a refreshing and stimulating sensation in the mouth and helps eliminate bad breath Spearmint EO: Spearmint EO's properties are very similar to that of peppermint EO. It is a strong antiseptic and helps wounds heal quickly. It is also soothing to gum tissue.

Myrrh EO: In ancient times, myrhh was used like money; it was what the Three Wise Men carried to Bethlehem upon the birth of Jesus. It was primarily used as a disinfectant. Myrrh EO also helps heal gum tissue quickly by supporting the flow of blood in the gum tissue.

Clove EO: Clove EO has been used in TCM for thousands of Dr. Shvartsman years to relieve tooth pain. Clinical research shows that clove inhibits several pathogenic bacteria. In the past, dentists used clove to disinfect root canals due to its germicidal properties. A recent study showed that clove EO is particularly effective against mutant strains of bacteria.

Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and Scleroderma: Can it be Reversed?

YES!!! Please read on.

What are they and what do they have in common?

Let's first try and understand what we are up against. Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Lupus Erythematosus (LE), and Scleroderma (S) (just to mention some of the autoimmune diseases) are diseases that can all be partially or completely reversed! This is a bold statement. Conventional medicine has shown that it has no answers for these life-taking, debilitating conditions except to try and slow down the degeneration or alleviate the symptoms.

RA, LE, S are called autoimmune diseases. These are diseases that have your immune system hyper (over) reacting and attacking various organs or structures of your body including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs as if they were enemies like viruses or harmful bacteria.

MS is an inflammatory disease in which the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to demyelination of the nerves and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms most notably muscle weakness.

What they all have in common is that they can not only take your life but they usually work slowly, breaking down your body, causing many painful symptoms debilitating symptoms making your life miserable.

While the outcome of these illnesses has been inevitable up to now, natural medicine has been able to find answers to improve, slow down the process and sometimes overcome the diseases. This is important as it shows that these illnesses can be overcome! It just takes the right approach, the correct combination of natural treatment methods, but they don't always work, except for intravenous ozone therapy.

What has worked so far?

Conventional medicine has spent billions of dollars trying to find the cause and cure of these diseases. Most of the money and efforts, however, have been spent on finding pharmaceuticals that can relieve some of the symptoms. Natural medicine has had much better results by Cleansing and Detoxifying the body. Many natural medicine methods have met with some success. Dietary changes, acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy and meditation are just some of the methods employed that have had some beneficial but inconsistent results, unlike intravenous ozone therapy.

So why have these therapies failed at times or have been so inconsistent?

1-800-NEW LIVING

by Dr. Howard Robins

Simply, each method by itself only holds part of the answer or part of the power necessary to effect the changes in our body to overcome the disease. All of us are unique individuals with different combinations and amounts of metabolic imbalances and harmful organisms affecting our immune system. Also, our immune systems are not created equal. Each of us has different parts of it stronger or weaker than that in other people.

Each type of natural medicine offers benefit to help overcome some of the imbalances or destroy some of the harmful organisms in individuals resulting in a mixed bag of inconsistent results.

So what is Intravenous Ozone Therapy, how does it work and is it safe?

Medical ozone it is a highly reactive gas. It has to be made "fresh" at the time of its use in a machine that passes electric current through medical grade oxygen in a special hand-blown glass tube. It can't be stored in a powder, tablet, capsule or liquid form like other medicines. Ozone is simply a non-patentable medicine (so they can't make any money from it), which is why "Big Pharma" has suppressed its use in the USA. When it enters the body, it acts like "glue" to all viruses, bacteria, fungus, yeast, mold, toxins, toxic heavy metals and parasites destroying them without harming any healthy cells in our body. Unlike the above mention harmful organisms, healthy cells have special enzymes that ward off ozone and protect themselves from destruction.

By ridding the body of all these harmful disease-causing organisms. intravenous ozone therapy has been able to reverse the diseases in question as well as a host of many other diseases and illnesses. While it is not known exactly which organisms are causing the diseases, medical ozone, by destroying all of them, helps us win the war and, believe it or not, it's safe!

While used in over 50 countries by over 45,000 physicians for over 70 years, the most famous study done on its safety was published in Germany in 1982. In Germany, medical ozone therapy is used pre and post-operatively to prevent infections as well as to treat most health problems.

Jacobs, et al., reported in his published study that close to 400,000 patients were given over 5,500,000 treatments over a two-year period with an adverse reaction rate of .0007! There is no pharmaceutical medicine that comes even close to that safety record. It's easy to see why 'Big Pharma' is not interested in letting the news out about ozone.

If you have questions, you may contact Dr. Howard Robins at 212581-0101. Dr. Robins is considered the foremost clinical expert on the use of Medical Ozone in North America with over 22 years of clinical practice and 210,000 treatments performed.

A frequent guest on the Gary Null Radio Show, Dr. Howard Robins has been helping people using Ozone Therapy for over 21 years and is considered by many to be the foremost clinical expert in North America on Bio-oxidative Therapies for the SAFE treatment of diseases and illnesses with over 175,000 treatments performed.

WATCH AND WAIT FOR WHAT? Often, people will come in to discuss health issues that have been bothering them for a long time. Maybe they are coming in now because the issues around their health have come to a crisis point after years of having the symptom.

Many of them had previously discussed the symptom with other practitioners in their life, only to be told that it is not a big enough problem and that they should “watch and wait” to see if things got worse. I can’t think of another field where an obvious problem is expressed but a person is told that they should wait and see if it gets worse.

If an engineer discovers a rusting support for a bridge, they don’t have a philosophy of “watch and wait”. If an airplane is off course, the captain does not “watch and wait” to see if the plane goes back on course by itself. In both of these cases, immediate corrective action is taken.

And yet to you, isn’t the health of you or your loved ones as important as that bridge or that airplane? What is the point of allowing your health to be off course when the consequences can be as devastating as a bridge collapse to an engineer or an airplane crash to a pilot?

It’s not hard to understand why people are given this advice, often by their most caring doctors. Often, the surgeries or drugs that would be required to intervene have toxic side effect potential of their own. So if the choice is between a toxic drug or perhaps a surgery with chances of complications, then “wait and watch” would then be the lesser of two evils.

But there are many options between doing nothing and going to extreme interventions. I have often seen where the removal of a food allergen from the diet can remove a chronic symptom. This is an option that is neither extreme or dangerous but does not require waiting until the symptoms get worse.

Another approach along the same lines of reasoning would be homeopathic medicine. These are substances given in very small doses, sometimes, ridiculously small doses like parts per million. And yet, the body somehow reacts to these substances with a balancing response that corrects complaints. I still don’t believe it works and I have been using them for 20 years.

Somewhat more mechanical interventions would be things like vitamins and herbs. These are stronger and therefore more dangerous than things like changing diet and using homeopathy. Even at their most mis-prescribed, they are many times safer than conventional drug therapy. These are interventions that can be taken to correct symptoms before symptoms become problems.

These situations affect the real lives of real people. Every day, I have people in my office that have greatly increased their chances of leaving the planet, and

by Steve Nenninger

their loved ones early because of a failure to recognize or address an early symptom.

How many times have people come in talking about a complaint or concern they have had for years that they allowed others to dismiss?

This is not about letting every little symptom run our lives. My teenage sons and myself are at the stage where we like to go to the gym together. Often, we will have some soreness, ache, pain or strain that we joke about. We go lift weights, pulling on our muscles and tendons and ligaments with every lift, and the surprise of all surprises, we have pulled muscles or tendons or ligaments. These are the sideeffects of using and training your body. However, these are not the concerns that bring people to the level of complaining about a symptom or going to get it looked at.

The symptoms that you should pay attention to are ones that you know are a problem for you. I feel that with some cases, my main job is to believe what the person in front of me is telling me. One case that I have had for the last few years is a tall young woman that works as a model. Every time she came in, she would be exhausted like she just ran a marathon.

I agreed with her that this could not be right. It was known from ultrasound that chambers of her heart did not completely seal when she was born. But this usually doesn’t create a big problem because there is still kind of a flap that seals when the heart beats. But it turns out there is another version of this heart problem where there is no flap and the blood from both sides of the heart just mixes.

I don’t fix holes in hearts. All I did was believe the symptoms that she was telling me, and trust my own observation that she looked drained and literally like she was not getting enough oxygen in her blood. Lucky for her, there are genius cardiologists out there, and she found the one that literally wrote the book on repairing this kind of hole in the heart. The operation to fix the problem involved going up through the leg and then putting a plug in the hole. Just amazing! The scary part is, this cardiologist told her if she had gone another few years without this repair, she would have “worn out” her heart muscle. I don’t understand it all, I just listen and in listening, health practitioners can be more effective at saving people’s lives.

NATURE VS MAN There are endless advancements in technology. We are able to fly from one continent to another in a few hours.

We have access to information in record breaking speed because of the internet. But no matter how many advancements 'man' makes, our country has been ranked 64th in wellness healthcare according to JAMA. That is why no matter how advanced we get, true health will always come from your health within.

When you think about it, we were created from two cells into trillions of cells. These cells work in sync with one another to keep our body functioning.

A human body creates another life and after 9 months in the womb, a living breathing person enters the world. That human body knows exactly what to do, what hormones and chemicals need to be released at the right time and right amount in order for the body to properly work. It's incredible!

However, once a baby enters the physical world, man sometimes feels that the baby wasn't made 'good' enough. Throughout that individual’s life, they are bombarded with endless pills and potions to do the same job that the body was naturally designed to do.

It's important to remember that you were created perfect. Your body is infinitely smarter than any man in a lab coat making what your body already knows how to make. You were given an

immune system to fight off bacteria and viruses.

You were also given an endocrine system that controls and regulates all the hormones in your body. You were given a digestive tract that knows exactly what nutrients to keep for fuel and what can be discarded.

The only thing we can do as man is mess up this amazing miracle of a body by giving it what it doesn't need, exposing it to harmful toxins and not maintaining true health.

If your body is not working the way it is supposed to, there has to be a reason 'why.'

As wellness physicians, we have dedicated our lives to help people get their bodies to work the way it is naturally designed to.

True health comes from your natural health within. It begins with your brain sending life to every living cell in your body without interference. If that connection is not strong, then your body is not able to work up to its fullest potential. Health comes from the inside out.

Your Fitness Goals: KEEP IT SIMPLE! With over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry it amazes me how much confusing, contradictory, harmful, biased and just down right information there is out there. With all the fad diets, exotic workout regimens, infomercials and “magic” supplements, I think people are more confused than ever on how to attain their fitness goals.

A lot of information in the fitness industry is about marketing, hype, profits, antidotal evidence with no hard convincing data or subjective clinical studies and usually biased opinions and views to catch your dollar.

So where does the average person start? In a day of technology and information overload, sometimes stepping back and using good old fashion common sense and the real world approach is the best idea. The most important thing to understand is that fitness goals should be able to “mesh” into your lifestyle and be simple to follow so they can be done consistently over the long term otherwise, starting is just really in vain.

Most people donʼt have the time, money, energy or patience to follow complicated meal plans that involve weighing and measuring, purchasing numerous supplements or following complex workout routines because they tire out before they reach their goals or they just canʼt sustain them.

People that follow the hardcore “all or nothing approach” usually wind up with numerous over-use injuries, over training burn-out and may acquire the fit but unwanted haggard look. People that put forth too little effort never reach their personal fitness goals and set themselves up for numerous chronic diseases.

Moderation and simplicity is really the key. The vast majority of people just want to achieve and maintain a reasonable healthy weight and fitness level while enjoying life and family outside the gym. The good news is that attaining these goals can be simpler than you think if you have the right guidance and knowledge.

If what I am saying “rings a bell” feel free to contact me.

I am a dual certified personal trainer who offers individual workshops or one-on-one sessions in the privacy of your home (equipment provided) or at your gym focusing on simple, moderate and easy-to-follow consistent programs and not just another “good workout” because in the end, these are the things that really matter!

HEEDING THE WARNING SIGNS OF PREDIABETES According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the prevalence of diabetes has increased from 8.3% of the American population in 2010 to 9.3% in 2012. Doing the math, this means that 29.1 million Americans are now classified as having this disease.

Furthermore, 234,051 mentions of diabetes on death certificates in 2010 established it as the 7th leading cause of death in the United States and research suggests that many diabetesrelated deaths are not recognized as such. The end result is a diabetic epidemic that carries a price tag of $245 billion for direct medical costs and reduced productivity in this country.

Diabetes is characterized by an inability to adequately control the amount of glucose that is circulating in the blood (“blood sugar”). Specifically, blood glucose is elevated (i.e., hyperglycemia is present) in the unregulated diabetic state.

This is problematic because chronically elevated levels of glucose damage both the vessels and organs that the blood flows through and this includes the heart. The endocrine system is responsible for regulating blood glucose via the influence of hormones that either increase its concentration when it is too low or decrease it when it is too high.

These hormones are glucagon and insulin, respectively. When diabetes is present, insulin is, therefore, the culprit although there are two distinctly different reasons why it can fail to perform its function. With type I diabetes, beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin have been destroyed by an autoimmune response. This typically occurs early in life, which is why this form is also referred to as juvenile diabetes.

Conversely, type II diabetics produce insulin, but the hormone does not sufficiently influence receptors on the cells that it must activate (i.e., the cells that serve as glucose storage sites; e.g., those of the muscles and liver). This “insulin resistance” causes beta cells to produce more insulin in an attempt to compensate for receptor desensitization and the end result is that a high level of circulating insulin (hyperinsulinemia) accompanies the hyperglycemic condition with this form of the disease.

Type I diabetes is a genetic condition because those afflicted were predisposed to inheriting the disorder. However, it is also believed that there are environmental stimuli that trigger the disease. Research is currently focused on gaining a better understanding of these causative factors with the eventual goal of finding a cure, but for now, type I diabetes can be managed, but not prevented.

Type II diabetes also involves a genetic predisposition and environmental triggers; however, in this case, the latter are far better understood. Consequently, individuals predisposed to this form of diabetes or, indeed, already suffering from it can implement lifestyle

changes that dramatically improve their prognosis.

Given our better understanding of the etiology (and, by extension, means of prevention) of type II compared to type I diabetes, it stands to reason that the type I version would be more prevalent. However, the ADA reports that only 5% of diabetics are diagnosed with this form of the disease.

This means that the vast majority of those enduring the consequences of diabetes could be pardoned from their potential death sentence simply by implementing lifestyle changes. Moreover, preventative measures can be put into place prior to an actual diagnosis via identification of “prediabetes,” which classifies individuals with blood-glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not yet high enough for an official diagnosis of the disease. Research shows that 25% of those meeting the criteria for prediabetes will wind up being diagnosed as a type II diabetic within 3-5 years.

Two tests that are used to detect prediabetes are the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG). Each of these tests assesses the amount of glucose that is present in the blood under very specific conditions; however, the conditions for the two tests are distinctly different. For example, OGTT measures blood glucose two hours following ingestion of a high-glucose drink that challenges the endocrine system to reestablish what is considered a normal value (e.g., a concentration of less than 140 milligrams per deciliter of blood).

A diagnosis of diabetes requires a concentration of at least 200 mg/dl so any value between 140 and 200 mg/dl indicates prediabetes. On the other hand, FPG measures blood glucose following eight hours of fasting. Under these circumstances, the value should be lower; for example, less than 100 mg/dl with 126 mg/dl or higher required for a diabetes diagnosis. Hence, anything between 100 and 125 mg/dl indicates the prediabetic state.

OGTT and FPG each assess the body’s ability to process glucose; however, they do so under different conditions. Consequently, a person who satisfies the criterion for prediabetes according to one of these tests might not do so based on the other. Interestingly, Lorenzo et al. found that when this was the case, those with impaired glucose tolerance appear to be at greater risk. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but might have to do with the degree of insulin resistance in muscle compared to liver cells. Impaired glucose tolerance has been shown to manifest to a greater extent in the former.

I endured a breakup with my fiancée, a loss of my job that I had been employed at for over 20 years, and my living location changed after 13 years. I was experiencing extreme anxiety.

I did not have a clear focus or plan as to what I was going to do, but I did know I did not want to go on any medications. It was at this point I was referred by a friend to Greg at The Next Step Life Coaching Services.

Together, we set goals and tackled one area at a time. Now, Iʼm living a very stress-free happy life again. I would highly recommend The Next Step Life Coaching Services to anyone I know and care about!

CD "Merry Christmas from Grandma Mikie."

Grandma Mikie's Magic Music Box(tm) is offering a free MP3 download of "One Day of Peace," a powerful children's anthem with a universal message, from the new CD. The song is sung by producer and songwriter Mikie Harris, 72, and seven backup singers between the ages of 6 and 12. Harris made her name as a backup singer and songwriter in the '60s music era, working with Neil Diamond, Lesley Gore, Bette Midler, Deborah Harry & Blondie, among many others. She is internationally recognized for her work on hundreds of recordings and advertising jingles. "Mikie Harris is a force in the music industry to be reckoned with. She has left her indelible mark on every genre of popular music," said John Clemente, author of the new book, "Girl Groups: Fabulous Females Who Rocked the World," which devotes a chapter to Harris' career. Grandma Mikie employs many of those genres on her Christmas album, singing everything from the bluesy rocker "Jingle Bell Boogie" by the Renovators to her original uptown country-style "Just Like Santa Claus" and the Caribbean-influenced "How Will Santa Find His Way to Christmas?" To sample some tunes and to order, visit www.grandmamikie.com

STRESS: An American Way of Life There is good reason that we now see so many big box drug stores on every corner. CVS, Rite Aide and Walgreen’s are everywhere. In fact, there are 67,000 pharmacies in the US and business is booming because people are extremely stressed and thus chronically ill. I recently took a trip to Paris and noticed that there wasn't a drug store in sight. The French may not have our money, but it appears they live healthier lives.

Americans are under constant stress and the result is an epidemic of psychosomatic disorders. Classic psychosomatic diseases include peptic ulcers, hypertension, bronchial asthma, migraine and ulcerative colitis. In the book Dr. Tom Ferraro, “From the Mind into the Body,” Paul Shorter Sport Psychologist for suggests that we are now have an epidemic of Long Island psychosomatic illnesses in America.

I just interviewed the director of a major gastrointestinal clinic on Long Island who told me that virtually 50% of his patents are ill with ulcers, colitis, IBS and acid reflux disease due to unrelenting stress and that he is forced into the role of being an amateur psychiatrist.

Stress describes the relationship between the mind and the body and when the mind is constantly under stress the body will eventually collapse into some form of illness.

External Stress: There are 4 major external causes of stress: 1) The overexposure of“stars”both in movies and sports in America began in earnest in the late 1950's. Cultural analysts including John Berger, Marshall McLuhan and Christopher Lasch have concluded that this steady stream of star power teaches us we will always be less than we could be. Like the famous Saturday Night Live line, "I'm Chevy Chase and you're not," it produces envy and a compulsive drive to get more to prove you are as cool as the celebrities you idolize.

2) American middle class salaries and employment benefits have flattened since 1980 as corporations have taken over. This means that the average family has been unable to grow economically, forcing both parents to go to work to earn money. This has led to an incredibly stressed and angry population.The American Dream is dead.There is no more upward mobility as there used to be. The middle class has joined the ranks of the working poor.

3) Harvard University's Robert Putnam published a book entitled “Bowling Alone,” where he documents the loss of our sense of community. And the classic study“The Power of Clan” by physicians Wolf and Bruhn supports the idea that illnesses like heart disease are closely connected to the lack of a strong communal bond.

DECEMBER 2014

1-800-NEW LIVING

by Dr. Tom Ferraro PhD

4) Finally, and perhaps the most subtle cause of chronic stress is found in our Declaration of Independence with the famous line “all men are created equal.”This line is the source of America's greatest strength and biggest problem. The psychologist Nancy McWilliams suggests that this mandate telling us that we are all equal induces a compulsive quest to establish our position in society and that this quest has proven to be endless, tiring and stress-inducing.

Internal Stress: Internal causes of stress are far easier to understand.

1) If one has been neglected, unloved or ridiculed in childhood, this leaves an indelible mark.The person grows up, feels inadequate and embarks on a journey in an effort to overcompensate by overworking or by repressing all anger. Over time, this will lead to stress and illness.

2) Others have been raised by narcissistic parents or in single family homes where they were asked to support the parent rather than vice versus. This produces what we call a false self and the patient spends their entire life helping others and ignoring their own need for care, rest and relaxation. Research support: The research team of Sheldon Cohen out of Carnegie Mellon University have found that chronic psychological stress is associated with the body losing its ability to regulate the inflammatory response, and when this happens, runaway inflammation promotes the development of disease.

What to do? If you suffer with excessive psychosomatic illness, here is what is needed: 1) Recognize that your illness may be induced by overwork. Now you can begin to write your own prescription.The cure is to incorporate more enjoyment into your life like playing sports, reading or engaging in the arts. Sports, hobbies, and the performing arts allow you to use your body and provide you with fresh air, sunlight and exercise.

2) If you have had a history of deprivation in childhood, you need to address this issue as well. Usually, it takes a trained analyst to help you to see and work through this pattern of self-hatred and over-giving.

3) Become more social by joining clubs and sports leagues. The positive effect of a social life has been proven to be true. The simple answer is to work less and play more.

Dr. Tom Ferraro has specialized in sport psychology for the last 20 years and works in the fields of golf, tennis, soccer, baseball, fencing, figure skating, gymnastics, swimming, running, biking and more. He has worked with pro teams, and major corporations such as State Farm Insurance and Owens Corning. He appears on national TV and radio and has columns in 5 different newspapers in America and Asia. He has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The London Times. Golf Digest includes him in their list of the top mental game gurus in America.

ON THE COVER: Jen Cohen, author of Strong is the New Skinny Where were you born and raised? Were you always fit as a child?

I was born in Canada and raised in Winnipeg Manitoba.

What sports/activitiesdid you do in high school, college?

I always loved dancing, softball and floor hockey (I'm Canadian!).

How did you get into fitness (always athletic, were you sick, did you have an epiphany?)

I wasn't an athlete by any stretch, but I was active. My favorite pastime was eating, so I got into fitness initially to balance out my LOVE of food!

Do you have children, pets, family life? How do you keep them fit and motivated?

I have a two-year-old, a husband, and another baby on its way. I keep the people around me motivated by leading by example. The best motivation I give is to practice what I preach and show them!

surprised at what they can achieve and do.

Tell us what is the main point of your book (what message are you trying to send)?

I try to get people to get out of their own way and strive to be the best version of themselves.

Striving to be skinny can be so daunting and unrealistic for some people-given body types, metabolism, and a host of other reasons. Not everyone can be skinny, but everyone can be STRONG! My message is to strive for something attainable and possible that benefits you beyond the physical. Being strong encompasses much more that being fit. It's about being mentally strong, confident, and capable.

How do you balance the stresses of daily life, owning your own business, writing a blog, ambassador for Weight Watchers and DVD persona?

Balance is hard, especially when you have a two-year-old and another baby on the way. But you come to accept that you can only do what you can do. I try and do the best I can, and sometimes, that has to be enough.

As long as I know I gave it my all, I'm good. Also, without sounding cliché, exercise has helped me tremendously.When I work out, it clears my head, makes me more productive for all the other tasks ahead of me, and gives me more energy to keep going. It also teaches me discipline and goal-setting, which is imperative for anyone to be successful with anything they do.

What is your typical day like (specific workout and meals)?

I'm a creature of habit, so I try and do some kind of workout first thing in the morning before my day really begins and my baby starts to cry. I will go for a 30-minute jog, do a bunch of circuits at home, or do HIIT training.

I drink a cup of coffee prior, and then off I go. For breakfast after my workout, I have either eggs with veggies/avocado and one piece of toast, or Greek yogurt with KIND Oat and Honey clusters. For lunch, I will have a huge salad with How do you stay so energized? chicken or fish and grilled veggies, and fish or meat for dinner.

EXERCISE! See above :) What is your favorite easiest breakfast meal, snack, lunch meal, dinner meal, desert?

My favorite would be the KIND Oat and Honey Clusters and Greek Vanilla yogurt for break- What tips/words of advice do you have for our readers? fast. For a snack, I love to chomp on apples or hummus and jicama. For lunch, I love tuna salad. Small wins equal big change, so start today and give yourself a goal to achieve. The best For dinner, salmon tacos and roasted butternut squash. For dessert, I always love this Raw Dark motivation is seeing yourself progress. Start small and get going. super healthy chocolate I found that is super delicious from Hnina Gourmet.

Any other projects/passions?

Lots! But one that's very near and dear to my heart is a charity I created with my best friend Do you use supplements? If yes, what, and why.....

I don't believe in supplements so much. I believe if you eat properly, you can get everything called Babes For Boobs. It's a charity bachelor auction where all money raised goes to breast you need from your food sources. That being said, I do take two Omega 3 supplements that cancer research. We did our first event last year in Los Angeles, and plan on making it an annual extravaganza. Check out www.babesforboobs.com to learn more. are molecularly distilled to make sure they have no toxins.

What is your fitness philosophy (HIIT?)?

Overall, my fitness philosophy is to use your precious time wisely. Get the most bang for your buck and do the maximum amount in the minimum amount of time. This means working multiple body parts at once and pushing yourself beyond your comfort level. People are always

Healthy Makeover Meatloaf

Polenta Bake with Butternut Squash

1 tablespoon olive oil 2 medium stalks celery, finely chopped 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press 2 pounds lean ground turkey ¾ cup fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs (from 1. slices bread) 1⁄3 cup skim milk 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 large egg whites ½ cup ketchup ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

Add celery and onion and cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer vegetables to large bowl; cool slightly. 3. To bowl with vegetables, add turkey, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire, egg whites, ¼ cup ketchup, salt, and pepper; mix with hands until well combined but not overmixed.

For faster cooking, you can make smaller loaves. Shape the meat mixture into two loaves and you shave about 20 minutes off your cooking time; make 6 to 8 individual loaves and cut the time in half. (Place the loaves in a 13" by 9" pan or jelly-roll pan.)

RENEWING HEALTH & PASSION FOR LIFE THROUGH ENERGY MEDICINE Ancient cultures have told us that all of life is interconnected, and that time not only moves in one direction like an arrow, but also turns like a wheel where the we can bring healing to the events of the past and connect with a future healed destiny in the present.

Quantum Physics tells us that everything in the Universe is formed of spinning vortices of energy...we are energy! Science also says that the observer, in the act of observing creates reality, and that time as we define it is an illusion.

We are the observers, each one of us, personally involved in the co-creation of our reality! Our perception and interpretation in the now, has the power to affect the past, the present and the future!

The Shamans (a lineage of Healers dating back 50,000 years) say that we are always creating, dreaming our world into being. The question becomes, from where are we creating? Is it from old stories or woundings, or from the fresh, dynamic space of wholeness?

Would you choose to live in a world where healing and transformation is possible? Would you want to free yourself from old scripts that say you are not good enough or that you are merely a product of genetics and DNA? What if your woundings, illnesses and limitations were malleable?

What if they held within their very structure the keys to your healing wholeness and joy? What an incredible gift this would be.

This is precisely the ground work for Energy Medicine. Each one of us is surrounded and permeated by a Luminous Energy Field that holds the imprints (programs) of the past, as well as the seeds of our healing. This Field is the blueprint or template for your body, mind and soul. From this Field, your life unfolds, attracting the situations, relationships, careers, family dynamics and health that comprise your life. Energy Medicine takes place at this level, this is where healing begins.

Most of us seek healing when we are faced with a physical or emotional crisis. Residue of unhealed experiences can create blocks in our energy field, when they remain they become hardened and lodge in our tissue, organs and bones. When they are removed the body can then move towards restoring health. The shamans say that every crisis is an opportunity to reconnect with our sacred essence, a call to bring healing, release and forgiveness to the imprints that brought about the crisis in the first place.

Energies of past events live within us in the present as energetic ties.

1-800-NEW LIVING

by Thelma Condra

These connections can retain the energy of events and people long after the experiences are over. Those that are beautiful continue to nourish and support us; those experienced during trauma can cause us to loose pieces of our essential energy. At these times, parts of our Soul's light can leave us to remain whole and free. The Shaman practitioner can assist you in regaining these pieces through a process called Soul Retrieval, and can assist in releasing the energy cords from past events. Vital energies can then be returned to you to be integrated back into your life, making it easier to release old tendencies and patterns, restoring a passion for life, or even bringing passion to life as a new experience.

Past events can be transformed from a source of suffering into a source of wisdom and power. In this process, we discover the light that has been waiting to be revealed. These experiences become our personal teaching, our source of wisdom and inspiration. Our lives then begin to unfold from this new healed experience.

Within the structure of each crisis, challenge or difficulty is the pathway of our healing and awakening. We are presented with the opportunity to align with our Soul's calling, and to listen to our own truth that has been waiting to be heard. We can then follow the pathway of our future healed self that whispers the way of our journey.

What makes your heart sing? How can you open to the beauty, power and love inherent within life and allow this connection to heal your body, mind and soul? Energy Medicine is a powerful medicine for your soul that shines through your body and entire life. It can assist you in removing blocks and healing past events so that you can take in new life supporting energies, enabling you to dream your world into being in a way that fulfills your soul.

Personal Energy Healing sessions can assist you on this journey of healing and self-empowerment by working directly with the imprints held within your Luminous Energy Field. Healing is a journey, may yours be filled with beauty, grace and light.

RAPID, AFFORDABLE EBOLA INFECTION CURE OFFERED BY OZONE DOCTORS Ozone Drs. Jay Rowen, MD of Santa Rosa, CA and Howard Robins, DPM of New York Coity announce the first cure of the Ebola infection in the world with a safe treatment costing less than 40 USD. On Friday November 14, 2014, a physician at an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone in West Africa accidentally stabbed himself with an Ebola contaminated needle.

This doctor had been recently trained in the Rowen-Robins Ebola Treatment Protocol, Doctor Robert Rowen, Dr. Kojo Carew, Dr. which uses the specific Howard Robins in Sierra Leone, the heart Robins Method of Direct of the Ebola break-out Intravenous infusion of ozone gas (DIV). Upon the emergence of symptoms 2 days later on Sunday November 16, he called Kojo Carew, MD of Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Dr. Carew is the physician in charge of maintaining the program and equipment/supplies brought and taught by Rowen/Robins who came to Sierra Leone to teach the protocol at the invitation of President Ernest Bai Koroma in October 2014. The infected doctor did not return to work on Monday November 17, 2014, which became his first day of treatment.

Dr. Rowen was informed of the needle stick on Sunday November 16, 2014, but was not advised that symptoms had yet developed. Rowen sent back instructions to treat him preventively and immediately with the protocol, believing the exposed doctor to be at great risk for symptoms to develop within 5 days. Dr. Robins, informed shortly after, concurred with the preventive protocol and urgency of treatment. Unbeknownst to Dr. Rowen, symptoms did

develop on day 2 (Sunday November 16) - the doctor reported high fever, loss of appetite, abdominal distress, and significant fatigue, which symptoms were rapidly progressing, classic signs of Ebola. Treatment began the third day after the needle-stick.

After just 2 days of treatment (November 18, 2014), all symptoms were gone. The doctor chose not to get an Ebola blood test at the time. A positive test would have mandated forced confinement in an Ebola treatment center where he would have been denied the ozone therapy. He believed this would likely have cost him his life, as the best clinics in Sierra Leone have a 60% death rate.

Rowen and Robins did not want to wait for a positive test, which can take several days to occur, believing the earlier this life-taking viral infection is aggressively treated, the higher the chances of recovery. Active treatment will be maintained for at least 10 days with reduced frequency for 7 days thereafter.

Confinement at a conventional Ebola treatment facility would have denied him continuing ozone therapy, which, in a first-time ever for the world, quickly reversed manifestation of the lethal Ebola disease. DIV ozone therapy is considered “experimental” for Ebola at this time and thus is not permitted in the treatment centers as yet, however, other experimental treatments are permitted.

As of November 22, 2014, Dr. “X” is in apparent good health and completely symptom free. Drs. Rowen and Robins are extremely pleased that the inexpensive DIV ozone, together with the other aspects of the treatment protocol (oral vitamin C, glutathione support) has resulted in the world’s first, fast, complete recovery from Ebola symptoms.

This infor is put out before publication in a medical journal as Rowen and Robins believe that this news can and should lead to many saved lives, which to them are more important than routine medical reporting protocol; and that health authorities around the world now need to open their “eyes and minds” to thinking “out of the box” when approaching this lethal disease. Rowen and Robins remain continuously available for assisting in the world’s Ebola relief effort.

Summary: Ebola infection cured with extremely inexpensive cheap and totally safe treatment.

Did you have Chickenpox or a "cold sore"?

Herpes simplex 1 and 2 cause the oral or genital forms of what we commonly simply call "Herpes". It also spreads in a way similar to the HZ virus, though it has a different reaction to our bodies and to our social life.

Herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by both Herpes simplex virus Type 1 and Type 2. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are often called cold sores or fever blisters, is an infection of the face or mouth. Oral herpes is the most common form and Genital herpes is the second most common form of infection.

However, both types can be found both orally and genitally!

Herpes is most easily transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual with visible sores or ulcers or even a small pink or brown "bump." Contrary to commercials on TV, you can transmit the infection without an outbreak. Little "bumps" are just not noticed.

Recurrent outbreaks may occur from time to time, especially in times of stress, using alcohol, or when eating foods high in a protein called L-Arginine, found commonly in nuts and chocolate among other foods.

It can be eliminated!

Treatments with antivirals can reduce outbreaks and may alleviate the severity of symptomatic episodes but will not get rid of the infection. Medical Ozone (a gas) is the only medicine known to destroy and rid the body of this horrible infection.

Please don't believe the commercials on television saying you can never get rid of it. Though with no promises or guarantees, Medical Ozone has been used
