OZONE USE IN DENTISTRY Ozone (O3) is a natural gas, derived from oxygen that has been used for over 100 years around the world to help heal a whole myriad of health problems, especially infection. Ozone gas specifically kills bacteria, fungi, viruses and prions without any harm to human cells. Our cells have ozone-neutralizing molecules built into the cell membrane rendering Ozone gas harmless. Dental Ozone machines are NOT created equal. Many use ambient air to generate ozone, which creates a gas full of contaminants. In addition, many dentists use cheap machines made in China that dentists put together themselves. These machines generate dirty gas and often catch on fire and are dangerous. Our office uses the Longevity Dental Ozone System, which is the safest dental ozone machine on the market that uses a clean 100% oxygen source. TOOTH DECAY: In our Long Island holistic dental office, we routinely use ozone to disinfect teeth before placing the filling or other dental restorations. In addition, ozone has become an invaluable aid in avoiding nerve death and root canals. We no longer need to remove the deepest decay closest to the nerve, which can lead to nerve trauma and subsequent "tooth death." By killing bacteria within deep decay using dental Ozone and then placing a new re-mineralizing material over the softened tooth structure, we can re-harden tooth structure and avoid root canals. This procedure is called a "pulp-cap." Ozone treatment of deep decay helps to eliminate the need for root canals when the nerve is healthy. GUM DISEASE: We have incorporated Ozone disinfection to treat acute and chronic gum disease (periodontal disease). Ozonated water is used as a pre rinse prior to dental cleanings and gum treatment to decrease the oral bacterial load and prevent bacteria in the dental aerosol. Combined with our powerful air filtration system, we are able to maintain a clean air environment. Deep pocked ozone fumigation and irrigation is used to disrupt the bacterial biofilm and kill bacterial, fungi, viruses and parasites around the teeth, gums and bone. We have even observed bone re-growth around gum-diseased teeth as well as dental implants. HOLISTIC ROOT CANAL THERAPY: In addition to laser root canal disinfection, we use ozonated water as an irritant as well as Ozone gas to fully disinfect the root canal system and dental tubules. Ozone continues to have a disinfection effect for weeks following root canal therapy. We have found a dramatic reduction of pain following root canal therapy when dental ozone gas is used.

SURGERY: Ozonated water pre-rinse prior to surgery is routinely used to reduce the bacterial contamination of the mouth leading to a cleaner surgical environment and a reduction of infections. Ozone gas is used to fumigate the surgical sites to help prevent infection, reduce pain and reduce inflammation. Ozonated water can help speed up healing and help re-mineralize the bone. We successfully use Ozone during tooth extractions, cavitation surgery, Periodontal micro-surgery and dental implant placement. TMJ: Ozone gas infiltration into the TMJ can be extremely helpful. Recent research shows that a number of TMJ problems are associated with bacteria, viruses and fungi, which can cause chronic and acute inflammation resulting in TMJ pain. Dental Ozone can also stimulate new cartilage formation. SINUS INFECTIONS: A growing number of people suffer form chronic and frequent sinus infections. Conventional doctors use antibiotics for weeks and sometimes months to treat sinus infections which wreck havoc on our symbiotic gut bacteria. Ozonated water irrigation and fumigation can be an effective tool in combating sinus infection without the use for antibiotics and their side effects. MOUTH ULCERS: Various ulcers such as denture sores, mouth cuts, aphthous ulcers and herpes can be healed with direct ozone gas, ozonated water and oil treatments. Ozone helps to reduce ulcer pain, reduce inflammation and speed up healing. DENTAL WATERLINE DISINFECTION: Dental waterlines are notorious for bacterial biofilm buildup. Many dental offices never disinfect their waterlines and may expose their patients to harmful pathogens and disease. Our holistic Long Island Dental office uses ozonated water to keep our waterlines clean and germ-free for your safety and peace Dr. Golan Dr. Shvartsman of mind.

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 185,000 treatments performed.

You Are Your Brain Chemistry Who are you really? Are you the person yelling at the person that cut you off in traffic? Or are you the person waving the person to go first, to take that last parking spot? Haven't we all been both of these extremes in our relationships with other people, our family, friends and coworkers? So, who are we really? Do you ever think about that? I mean haven't you had these moments of absolute anxiety where you imagine the worst (what would my children do if I died today) kind of moments? And then haven't you had those times where you know that everything is right with the world, and that this one moment of connectedness is all you will ever really need? Maybe you are just willing to take these good and bad moments as they come and not question how and why. I did that for years too, but I was miserable. And I got tired of being miserable. Severe OCD (thinking the same thing again and again), what I know now was depression, anxiety and not to mention that my body was always inflamed. So at some point, I just got tired enough of this state of being to trying and do something about it. Being a doctor that does natural medicines, I figured I was in about as good a position as anyone to try and change the way that I felt, the same way that I had changed the way my body was functioning after years of auto-immune disease. I few years ago, I was talking with a colleague about my state of mind and she described the work of a doctor who at that point had been studying the connection between brain chemistry and inflammation. It was my first introduction to the work of Dr. Kellerman and Neuroscience. When I had the chance to talk with Dr. Kellerman the other day, he talked to me about how his passion for the last 30 years has been understanding what makes people sick and how to get them better. And I believe he feels this way. So, I decided to do the neurotransmitter testing on myself. Think of neurotransmitters as the cell towers of our brains. If you don't have the neurotransmitters that are needed, then you will have a call that does not get through...no signal. The test included four saliva samples and one urine sample. The four saliva tests measure the body's rhythmic release of cortisol, which should be elevated in the morning and go to zero at night. It also

tests the urine for 12 different neurotransmitters that are basically the gas pedals and brake pedals of your brain and your inflammatory symptoms. The urine portion tests serotonin, 5HIAA which is a metabolite of the breakdown of serotonin; it tests GABA and taurine which are brake pedals for the brain; it tests glycine, glutamate and histamine, all of which can be hyper inflammatory and stimulating; it tests dopamine and DOPAC which is a metabolite of dopamine; it tests epinephrine and norepinephrine which can be either involved in anxiety or slow metabolism, and it tests PEA which is involved in focus and concentration. What I found was that my GABA was really low. That is the chemical that your brain uses to put the brakes on. So, because I had no brakes, I couldn't sleep and always felt anxious, if not severely anxious. I also found that I had very high dopamine and this caused my brain to stay focused on one thing, usually the most miserable thing I could imagine. When I corrected these problems, I not only felt myself again, I felt better than ever before. The other thing that the testing found was that my cortisol was very high at night and that this was blocking my growth hormone. New me, yay! For me, the results of using this testing and taking the recommended supplements has been very good. I sleep better than I have in years; my body is no where near as inflammatory as it was; I feel more effective at work and in my life. No longer was I up with the same thought that I went to bed with day after day. Really for me, the only times I enjoyed my life in the past, was when I was I working. Now, I am able to enjoy my time with my family and with myself. I would have to say the change for me in applying this testing in my life has been a complete turn around from the life that I was experiencing. So who am I now? I would say that I am a happy person. Yes, I might have a down time, but that is now a few hours when it was literally a few years before! Yikes, I do not look back on those bad moments with any other conviction than to give my brain everything it needs to not slide back into that tar pit.

LONG ISLAND DOCTOR “CRACKS THE CODE� FOR WEIGHT LOSS "I've struggled with my weight my entire life," admitted Dr. Raymond Omid. He recalled spending four or five days at the gym each week, during which time he would spend 30 to 40 minutes on either the treadmill or the elliptical machine. When he realized that his approach of exercising more and eating less was not effective, Dr. Omid tried a different approach. This new effort allowed him to lose 25 pounds in 40 days. "Not only was it EASY to do, but it was FUN!" "Because of my dramatic results, my patients began to say 'Hey, Doc, whatever you're doing I want to do it, too,'" he says. To accommodate them, he became one of only 6 doctors in the world to offer the LightenUp Ultimate Fat Loss System. According to Dr. Omid, the doctor-supervised system involves no hunger, no cravings, no necessary exercise, no drugs, and no prepackaged foods to buy, all while allowing participants to lose 20 to 40 pounds in 40 days. "Men typically lose 35 to 45 pounds, while women typically lose 27 to 35 pounds. We guarantee you will lose at least 20 to 40 pounds in 40 days as long as you adhere to the program." Dr. Omid explained that the LightenUp Ultimate Fat Loss System's effectiveness lies in the fact that each program is customized for the individual. "This system balances fat burning hormones. All weight gain has a hormonal component, and everyone has different hormonal imbalances. Because the American diet is so high in high fructose corn syrup, most people have imbalanced insulin levels which are undetectable with a typical blood test." "Insulin is a fat-storing hormone and releasing too much insulin causes weight gain. Also because of the xenoestrogens present in the food and water supply, most people have estrogen imbalances. Xenoestrogens are contained in dairy products, meat products as well as foods containing food additives and preservatives. Estrogen is a fat-storing hormone and having high levels of xenoestrogens cause fat to be stored instead of used for energy. The high levels of stress today are causing people to release high levels of cortisol which is also a fat-storing hormone." "Our LightenUp program detects all these imbalances and formulates the right nutritional support to deactivate the fat-storing hormones and activate the fat-burning hormones such as DHEA, thyroid hormone, etc. It is like putting the break pedal on fat-storing hormones and the gas pedal on the fat-burning hormones." Dr. Omid added that most weight-loss programs are not individualized,
which is one reason that they do not work for everyone. The LightenUp Ultimate Fat Loss System, on the other hand, creates a personalized program for each participant. "This system addresses the hormonal imbalances and is totally customized. No two programs are identical," he says. The best part is that we no longer need to guess what's causing weight loss resistance. We have advanced computerized technology called CERF that tests 5,000 variables including toxins, minerals, and hormones to determine what's out of balance and how to bring it back into balance." According to Dr. Omid, who is a friend and associate of the doctor who formulated the system, more than 30 years of nutritional experience has gone into the development of the system. Dr. Omid's businesses, Advanced and Premium Holistic Healthcare, began offering the LightenUp Ultimate Fat Loss System six months ago. The business is located at 325 North Broadway, Jericho, NY. Dr. Omid has more than 12 years of experience as a holistic doctor, and Advanced/Premium Holistic has been serving the community for more than a decade.

PSYLLIUM AND BENTONITE: An Internal Cleanse that Packs a One-Two Punch Like a broom, psyllium sweeps waste from the colon; bentonite grabs toxins like a magnet as it passes through the digestive system. The human body is perfectly capable of cleaning and filtering out impurities, but due to the overwhelming amount of toxins that we are exposed to today, many in the medical community agree that an internal cleanse is now essential for optimum health. "It is very necessary because our world is so toxic. We are ingesting, breathing, and coming into contact externally with toxins all day long and there are more environmental toxins than there has ever been and it's growing," says Dr. Tom Ziegler, a pharmacist at the Medicap Pharmacy in Ashburn, VA. "We need to do a cleanse to rid the body of those toxins." While the dietary fiber supplement psyllium has long been used as the primary ingredient of many laxative and colon cleanse products, it does not do a complete job of internal cleansing by itself. In the fight to protect your body against environmental toxins, using psyllium with bentonite provides a more complete internal cleansing. Together, psyllium and bentonite, a natural volcanic clay that attracts toxins through adsorption and is taken in a solution or capsule form, can deliver a one-two punch to waste and toxins accumulated along the digestive tract and colon. "A lot of people suffer from leaky gut syndrome where toxins are absorbed from the gut back into the blood stream and it becomes a vicious cycle," says Dr. Ziegler. "People really need at least one or two bowel movements everyday." On contact with water, psyllium seed husk thickens into a gel-like substance. This acts like a broom to sweep waste from the colon, so it does not get re-absorbed through the colon wall back into the bloodstream to recirculate in the body. Psyllium also keeps the lining of the colon cleaner, since it cleans out pockets in the colon that may accumulate toxic waste material. Working synergistically with psyllium, bentonite attracts toxins like a magnet through a chemical adsorption process, in which the surfaces of toxins and bentonite bind together when they touch along the body's digestive tract. Through adsorption, toxins adhere to bentonite's large, porous, ion-charged surface to draw environmental pollutants out of the body when it passes from the colon. In numerous studies, bentonite has demonstrated it can bind with and remove heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, pathogenic viruses, heavy metals, and other toxins from the body. "Because psyllium and bentonite work by different means, when used together, they provide a more thorough internal cleanse than using either alone," says Peter Finkle, Director of Quality Control at Yerba Prima, an Ashland, Oregon-based herbal supplement
company credited with developing the first internal cleanse. Yerba Prima's Great Plains Bentonite is made from pharmaceutical quality bentonite that is refined to its most active form from naturally occurring deposits in the U.S. Great Plains region. Using advanced processing methods, the special bentonite used in Great Plains has a huge surface area up to 960 square yards per tablespoon serving. To put that in perspective, a quart bottle of Great Plains Bentonite contains over 12 football fields of surface area. While an internal cleanse can remove many unwanted wastes and toxins from the body, and is popular after holiday overindulging, the cleansing process itself can put demands on the body. Some health supplement companies such as Yerba Prima are going beyond offering the internal cleanse combination of psyllium and bentonite to include supplements that not only support the body during cleansing but also help to renew it afterwards. To build on the cleansing activity of psyllium and bentonite in its internal cleanse system, for instance, the company adds Triphala extract, which combines three potent herbal superfruits and has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for several thousand years. In addition to reducing gas and abdominal discomfort, Triphala improves the digestion and absorption of nutrients. As bentonite and psyllium cleanse the colon, Triphala rebuilds colon health to improve system function by the end of the cleansing process. Because men and women have different physiological and nutritional needs, when it comes to internal cleanses, there are different requirements for men and women. For instance, the company includes Chaste-tree berry extract, the fruit of a small tree native to Central Asia which has been used for thousands of years to ease menstrual-related issues, in its Women's Renew Internal Cleansing System. "Many women feel at the mercy of unpleasant changes in their monthly cycles," says Finkle. "Chaste-tree berry supports the cleansing process by balancing female hormones and supporting positive female energy. The combination of cleansing and balance helps women feel healthier and more energetic throughout the month." To promote and balance male energy during the cleansing process without the ups and downs of stimulants like caffeine, the company includes Asian ginseng, the root of ginseng plant, which has been used for over two thousand years to improve stamina and endurance, in its Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing System. "Combining psyllium and bentonite with energizing and balancing herbs can help women and men have a better, more effective internal cleansing experience," concludes Finkle.

Research-Based Exercise Prescription: High Intensity Interval Training Part 3 High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is exercise characterized by short bursts of vigorous activity interspersed with periods of rest or low-intensity exercise for recovery. This type of exercise is well established as an important part of training for start-stop athletes like tennis, basketball and soccer players because it mimics the demands of their sport. There is also ample evidence to suggest that HIIT benefits endurance athletes who work at a constant pace; for example, middle- and long-distance runners. However, two recent articles in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise document the successful implementation of HIIT in a population that would seem to be the least likely candidates for this form of training. That the use of HIIT for cardiac patients is counterintuitive exemplifies why it is important to look to the research when determining the appropriate course of action with respect to exercise. Last installment, I set the stage for one of these studies, which involved comparing HIIT with conventional endurance training in patients with documented coronary artery disease. In this study, Currie et al. had patients in one group cycle continuously at a moderate pace (58% of their peak power output) with duration progressed from 30 to 50 minutes over the 12-week training intervention. This type of regimen is the current standard of care in cardiac rehabilitation. The other group performed 10 one-minute "work" intervals at 89% of peak power output with one-minute recovery intervals at 10% in between. The important difference was that one group worked continuously for an extended period at a moderate level of exertion while the other worked intermittently for a shorter amount of time at a high level. Another difference was that the 20-minute HIIT sessions were not lengthened over the course of the study. Instead, progression involved increasing power output during work intervals so that the individual's heart rate response (and, by extension, the relative challenge associated with the effort) remained constant as conditioning improved. However, a similarity was that both groups trained three times per week performing two supervised sessions and one that was unsupervised. When the training intervention was complete and results were tabulated, the endurance group had performed twice as much work as the HIIT group. Specifically, the long duration moderate training required an average of 172 kJ of work per session compared to 88 for HIIT. It is, therefore, not surprising that bodyweight decreased more for the endurance group. However, the HIIT group achieved higher average heart rates with values reaching 73% of their age-predicted max. The end result was that despite the lesser duration, HIIT subjects achieved similar increases in fitness. For example, the maximum rate at which the patients could consume oxygen (i.e., VO2peak, which is a measure of cardio-respiratory fitness) increased similarly in both groups as did the VO2 at

which their "anaerobic threshold" occurred. This is important because this marker defines the breakpoint between sustainable and non-sustainable work. Both training regimens also elicited similar improvements in the peak power output at which subjects could cycle. While the performance enhancements documented above reflect an enhanced functional capacity, it is also important to consider exercise-induced changes that could improve health status in these patients. In this regard, the researchers assessed flowmediated dilation of the brachial artery to non-invasively determine endothelial function of the coronary arteries. A well-functioning cardiovascular system has the ability to increase blood vessel diameter when necessary and, conversely, endothelial dysfunction is associated with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease. Once again, HIIT measured up in this assessment as absolute and relative flow-mediated dilation were increased by both forms of training with no difference between groups. Finally, resting diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were decreased by a similar amount after both forms of training. The bottom line is that all of the positive changes that occurred due to conventional endurance training were also present after a HIIT program that required less time and total work. What is more, there were no adverse events reported and adherence in the HIIT group was similar to that in the endurance group. In addition to implications regarding safety, this suggests that the high-intensity nature of HIIT does not reduce the likelihood that subjects at risk for dropout will stick with their program. To put these findings into perspective, previous research suggests a 12% improvement in survival rate for every increase in VO2peak of 3.5 mL/kg/min. In the present study, 12 weeks of HIIT improved this parameter by 4.7 mL/kg/min. This means that a time investment of only 60 minutes per week could lengthen these patients' lives considerably. Furthermore, increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are associated with persistently-impaired brachial artery flow-mediated dilation capacity; e.g., a relative value less than 5.5%. Interestingly, in the present study, pre-training values were less than this standard, which suggests that these subjects were at risk for future cardiovascular events. However, post-training, group averages were above 5.5%, which also supports the notion that these exercise interventions can dramatically improve the future prognosis for these patients. The authors conclude by noting that lack of time is often cited as one of the major barriers to exercise adherence in cardiac patients. Consequently, time efficient HIIT might provide a more appropriate way to infer long-term health benefits in these individuals.

STRENGTH FOR HEALTH & VITALITY: The Most Affordable Insurance Available For more than 40 years, I have been instructing, teaching and training individuals from all walks of life, many with an array of injuries and compromised situations. They are people who prefer independence, selfreliance, and responsibility for themselves. This writing is aimed at people who do not accept mediocrity or dependency. My hope is to wake up the sleeping giants and disclose the fact that the government cannot help itself, let alone help the ones who give them the ability to do so. There is an old saying that there are two things you cannot avoid - death and taxes. As for death, you cannot get out of life alive. As for taxes, as long as you make or spend money, you will be taxed. Recently for Americans, a third unavoidable obstacle has been added. You "must" or else purchase health insurance. In a roundabout way, this mandate embodied into our American culture by those elected "Einsteins" may be a wake-up call to those who are ready to take back their own health and vitality, as well as get back some lost youth and sex appeal. Even though the future is unknown, what is coming is almost a no-brainer. Everyone will be obligated to obtain medical coverage, but not obligated to use it. Now why would you not want to use something you bought? You bought car insurance, but don't want to use it, right? Why not? Because of deductibles (which nobody wants to lay out) and penalties after its use (rate hikes). Take a look at the mandated medical mirage. Today is today. Tomorrow is the eye-opener. Using the future medical coverage may be more expensive both financially and health-wise. Our deductibles are going to vary from a few thousand dollars to 5 or 6 thousand dollars, depending upon what you feel you want to spend. Co-payments are going to increase $50 or more for a specialist, if you can get to see one when you want or need one. The term "health insurance" is really emergency medical intervention due to personally ignoring your own health. The science of strength for maximum health, fitness, vitality and age management is my life-long personal passion. From the doctors and nurses I work with, I am told that roughly 70% of patient visits are lifestyle oriented or at least mostly avoidable, i.e., aches, pains, blood pressure, cholesterol, pre-diabetes, orthopedic, blood sugar, fat gain, and low energy. Consider the following scenario. You go to the emergency room or medical center. Or for that matter, you are lucky enough to get a doctor appointment because you were able to wait for him/her to fit you in. You

make your co-pay. You receive a bill that is applied towards your deductible. You get prescriptions (more applied towards deductible). Now you are aboard the medical merry-go-round of visits, deductibles and drug payouts. All to address something that was totally avoidable if you had a real health plan. What I mean is a self-motivated addition to your lifestyle called exercise. Both will cost money. The difference is the medical plan addresses the symptoms - aches, pains, high blood sugar, etc., with drugs that do not address the reason for the symptoms and are married to a list of side effects for which other drugs are available to address the side effects. You are dumping money into a medical money pit. It is cheaper to buy a yacht and moor it in the desert (it costs a lot to go nowhere). This is not the wisest plan for money spent towards health. I just described medical intervention, NOT HEALTHCARE. Healthcare is getting and remaining healthy, sexy, vital and energetic and being able to enjoy the things you did when you were younger, like dinner, dancing and burning the midnight oil. To me, your healthcare plan should include an exercise professional with knowledge, experience, and who is credible enough to put your own lack of exercise science and knowledge to the test. One of the main reasons for lack of favorable results is confusion about what works. In my 50 years as a physical culturist, I have learned that exercise is not faith-based; it is science-based. If what you are doing is not working or if it hurts too much, then there is a missing element in your formula. To me your exercise plan (health plan) is your physical 401k (your physical and mental future existence). The law says you must buy medical insurance, but the law does not mandate you to use it. At the same time, the law does not mandate you to care for your own health. You are now left with an unavoidable choice. You can spend your hard-earned money on symptom-related medical intervention or you can spend it on youthful related problem prevention for total physical betterment (your 401k). Would you rather go through life on a pair of crutches or on hot-looking strong legs? Personally, I'm a leg man! LIFE IS A SPORT - TRAIN FOR IT.

SNOOZE TO LOSE: The Sleep/Weight Loss Correlation Pssst! There's a secret to weight loss and it's not an expensive home gym or the latest Nike sneakers. It's sleep! When it comes to health and wellness, sleep is an often overlooked aspect of human well-being. Not only is sleep important for a balanced lifestyle, quality sleep is a major factor in achieving ultimate overall health. From weight loss to clear skin, mental alertness to a strong immune system, proper sleep has been proven time and again to keep health issues at bay. In a study recently referenced by Fitness magazine, when a Carnegie Mellon University research team exposed study participants to a cold virus, those who didn't sleep as soundly were six time more likely to get sick than people with good quality sleep. In addition to missing out on the restorative aspects of a great night of sleep, our guess is the study participants with a cold were less likely than their healthy counterparts to fit in exercise the week they got sick. Let's take it a step further. Sleep that is uninterrupted has even more natural benefits - including fat loss. Clinical studies show 55% more fat loss when comparing those who received eight and a half hours of sleep to those who only received five and a half hours in a double blind study. {Annals of Internal Med. 2010;153(7)} By staying in a longer overall sleep, the stages in which your body is most productive (Stages 3 and 4 of non-R.E.M. sleep) also become longer. During these stages, the body releases powerful fat-burning and muscle-building hormones, repairs muscle and bone tissue, and boosts immune function - a winning combination for both weight loss and overall health. Studies also show that lack of sleep correlates to an increase in Gherlin, the "hunger hormone", and a decrease in Leptin, the "feel full" hormone. This leaves you not only feeling hungry for carbohydrate-based foods and unhealthy snacks, but you are more likely to ingest more of them per serving. Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, is the most powerful natural fat-burning hormone your body creates, and is also released mostly under conditions of sleep. "In men, 60% to 70% of daily human growth hormone secretion occurs during early sleep which is typically when the deepest sleep cycles occur," according to David Robson of BodyBuilding.com. Poor quality sleep can pose as a serious roadblock to achieving this proper hormone release. It may sound like it is advisable to pursue a good night's sleep at any cost - even turning to prescription medications for help. While prescriptions may be

helpful for those facing diagnosed sleep disorders, in which case please follow your doctor's advice, the everyday person can seek out all-natural, over-the-counter remedies. "Prescription sleep medications can actually be really dangerous -- they can cause heart attacks, strokes and even death," says Equinox advisory board member and sleep expert James B. Maas, Ph.D., as quoted in a recent article featured on HuffingtonPost.com. Natural, stimulant-free options do exist and can be just as effective. One such option that is changing the face of night-time supplements is an over-the-counter solution with added benefits called Z-BURN, by Fitness One Formulas. Z-BURN is a hybrid supplement, acting as a dual-purpose overnight weight loss supplement and all-natural sleep aid. Here, the correlation between weight loss and sleep could not be more evident. "By increasing efficiencies of underlying metabolic functions and optimizing the release of powerful fat-burning and muscle-building hormones, Z-BURN's ingredients enable the body to attack fat throughout the night, while other ingredients work to achieve a deeper, more productive sleep at the same time", says Michael McDonald, President of Fitness One Formulas and co-creator of Z-BURN. Z-BURN boosts fat metabolization and attacks fat all night long, while helping the body get the deep sleep it needs to repair and recover so you wake up refreshed. The ingredients are designed to optimize the body's natural underlying functions as they pertain to weight loss, along with aiding in the release of powerful fat blasting hormones, all while you're catching that much needed shut eye. All together, this creates a synergistic attack on fat, while allowing your body to reap the natural benefits quality sleep provides. "The energy drink boom has certainly done its damage to our sleeping patterns, mine included," says McDonald. "This was the original problem I wanted to solve with the creation of Z-BURN, providing essential rest and recovery with overall health and fitness in mind." Bottom line, it is essential for those of us looking to achieve a better overall fitness to catch the appropriate amount of ZZZ's. And as new studies and innovative supplements such as Z-BURN continue to emerge, it would seem losing weight while we sleep may no longer be 'in our dreams'. Interested in learning more about Z-BURN? Visit their website at www.zburn.com. Z-BURN(r) is now available for purchase at GNC.com and in GNC stores nationwide. Sources: 1.

JIN SHIN JYUTSU®:
PAGE 10
www.newliving.com
Ancient Japanese Healing Art Offered at Holistic Health and Anti-Aging Center of Great Neck
Today, many men and women are looking beyond conventional medicine alone to keep themselves well. Increasingly, their choices include integrative approaches which address the mind, body and spirit in restoring health. At the Holistic Health and Anti-Aging Center of Great Neck, a team of Holistic Healthcare practitioners stands at the forefront of this evolution in healthcare. The center offers a new approach to wellness that combines the very best of functional medical testing, scientifically-tailored diet, lifestyle and supplement programs and expanded holistic Judy Johnson, LMT healing approaches. Patients have benefited greatly when workPractitioner of ing in partnership with their health care providers "We value our Jin Shin Jyutsu patients' experience and voice," says co-founder of the center, Michael Harris, LMT. The Health and Anti-Aging Center of Great Neck is pleased to offer the services of Judy Johnson, LMT, a practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu(r). In order to bring an understanding of this healing art to the public, New Living Magazine has asked Judy Johnson some questions: WHAT IS JIN SHIN JYUTSU? Simply put it is life changing. Jin Shin Jyutsu facilitates transformation and healing by unblocking stagnant energy within the energetic pathways of our bodies. It is a Japanese Healing Art that was brought back from obscurity years ago. The ancient written records, which are part of the Archives of the Imperial Palace in Japan, show that Jin Shin Jyutsu was widely recognized before the birth of Buddha, before the birth of Moses and before the Kojiki which is the Record of Ancient Things written in Japan, A.D. 712. In the early 1900's, Master Jiro Murai revived this Healing Art after clearing himself of a terminal illness. He devoted his remaining time to the research and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu. This knowledge was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's. Mary first studied this Art before eventually teaching it to a select few in the early 1960's. Today Jin Shin Jyutsu is being taught all over the globe. Jin Shin Jyutsu translated means: JYUTSU - Art; SHIN - Creator; JIN - Man of Knowing and Compassion So the words Jin Shin Jyutsu mean: "Art of the Creator through man of knowing and compassion." Jin Shin Jyutsu is considered to be an art and not a technique. A technique is an application whereas an art is a creation, a creation brought about through our innate wisdom. "As practitioners, we simply aid or facilitate the individual's healing process. We do this by laying our hands on the body as the person lies comfortably face up on
a table fully clothed. No pressure or physical manipulation is used. Our hands are used as "jumper cables" thereby unblocking the flow of life energy in the body facilitating peace, harmony and balance in all aspects of body mind and spirit. Mary Burmeister has said that to fully know Jin Shin Jyutsu, it is a lifetime study. I can personally say, as an infant on this incredible healing journey, I have already witnessed amazing healings and transformations. On a small scale, I have seen relaxation, focus, relief from tension and pain reduction. On a larger scale, as I have had the great honor to work with very dear friends and family, I have seen paralyzed limbs come alive with warmth where before there was only coldness. I was also witness to a very dear friend who would greet me with "are we going to soar now"? He had total peace and pain relief, in his last days with bile duct cancer, during his sessions. Jin Shin Jyutsu is being used in some hospitals in all areas including the cancer department. It is a great aid in reducing the effects of chemotherapy and radiation. I can now attest to this as my 22-year old niece, who has the very rare synovial sarcoma and is enduring repeated day long chemo sessions, also received Jin Shin Jyutsu while receiving chemo. The side effects were greatly reduced. She did not have the typical nausea... Life's daily struggles and stresses create imbalance and disharmony within us on a daily basis. It is within each of our grasps to have peace, freedom from pain, and balance and harmony. The Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is taught to the friend, family member or client so that he can learn to apply it to himself furthering his healing process. This is our inherited gift and a great blessing. It is truly an art of living. TESTIMONIAL: "As a cofounder of The Holistic Health and Anti-Aging Center of Great Neck, I have experienced several sessions of Jin Shin Jyutsu with Judy Johnson. At the very first session, I explained that I was suffering from the combined effect of stress, exhaustion, and the loss of a dear friend who passed away suddenly, as well as lower back pain. During the treatment, I felt transported to a moment of great joy in my childhood. I relived the evening of my school's Christmas pageant in 1965. I could see, hear, feel, and even smell the shared excitement and laughter of my classmates as we prepared to go home for the holiday vacation. When the treatment was over, I sat up and began to cry. The feelings of sorrow and worry had left me to be replaced by a sense of comfort and inner peace. My back pain was gone. I would say, unequivocally, that Jin Shin Jyutsu brought me relief like no other therapy I have ever encountered. I recommend that everyone experience its healing power."

SPIRA RUNNING SHOES OFFER WAVESPRING TECHOLOGY TO HELP PREVENT INJURY The WaveSpring is a stable and lightweight spring that is placed in the heel and forefoot of every Spira running shoe. The patented WaveSpring technology allows people to participate in their activities for longer periods of time, with far less stress on muscles and joints. The technology is like "little shock absorbers" for your body. Most shoe cushioning technologies rely upon a variety of compressive foams and similar materials that may provide an initial sense of comfort, but begin to breakdown almost immediately. Beause the WaveSpring is mechanical, it provides a new shoe feel for the life of the shoe and will not lose its extraordinary feel over time. The WaveSpring not only cushions with every step, but returns almost the same amount of energy. Up to 96% of the energy is returned to the wearer. This "recycled" energy allows you to participate in your activities with far less stress on the joints, ligaments and the entire body than traditional footwear. The WaveSpring reduces peak impact forces throughout the gait cycle by 20%. It is during these peaks that injuries usually occur. With the reduction in peak force, injuries can be reduced. Many elite athletes, marathoners and other fitness enthusiasts report that they can race, train and work out at a more intense level. Recovery time between activities is often reduced. The WaveSpring is mechanical and works through deflection and opposed to compression. This helps to shoe keep the "new shoe" cushioned feel throughout the normal life of the shoe. Here are some questions runners commonly ask: Will Spira shoes eliminate my knee problems? Letters from Spira's customers state that Spira shoes have helped to alleviate issues such as: knee, back and joint pain; medical foot issues such as plantar fasciitis, arthritis, heel spurs and Achilles tendon issues; shin splints, body fatigue, pain, tenderness among many others. Will Spira shoes guarantee that I break my PR? The company can't guarantee that you will break your PR, but they claim to have had numerous testimonials from runners/athletes who have broken their PRs using Spira shoes. Are Spira shoes "banned" for competition? Runners competing in Spira shoes have won hundreds of major marathons and road races world wide. The company is unaware of any incident where an athlete was disqualified for competing in Spira(r). Can I wear my orthotic in a Spira shoe? Yes, you can remove the shoe insert and replace it with an orthotic The Company's History: Spira was initially invented by runners for runners who simply wanted more enjoyable, longer and productive runs. Out of these ideas, Spira was born. The WaveSpring technology offered something amazing: incredible cushioning and impact protection against the pounding, stress and fatigue associated with the sport. But the unexpected happened. The technology helped people in many other activities and situations as well. Through the remarkable support of friends, the community and
others, the dream of starting Spira became a reality. "I'll never forget the day that I tried on what in retrospect was the first pair of Spira shoes. It was a crude prototype. Two springs were shoved into a sliced midsole of an athletic shoe and secured with duct tape. I put the shoes on, and ventured out into the backyard to shoot around on our basketball court." "I spent the next two hours in utter amazement. I felt I had discovered the fountain of youth! My legs felt fresh and I didn't have the normal aches and pains after hours of play. I knew from that moment, that my life was destined to take a different path. I had to share this technology to the world," says Andy Krafsur, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder Spira Footwear, Inc. Today, Spira has sold almost 1 million pair of shoes. Even though the technology was initially developed for running, and over 150 major races and marathons have been won by runners wearing Spira shoes, the company receives numerous letters and emails from customers all over the world expressing how Spira has helped them in a variety of ways. From walking to standing on the job all day, from dance fitness classes to the gym, from medical rehabilitation to relieving foot, leg and joint pain, from more enjoyable vacations to quicker recovery between activities, Spira is making a positive impact in many people's lives. "Receiving a testimonial letter from someone whose quality of life has improved because of Spira is extremely rewarding. And because of these inspirational letters, the Spira shoe line has expanded from running to other areas of footwear development and will continue to do so," says Krafsur.

FITNESS TRENDS FOR 2014: The Best Way to the Best You in the New Year With so many new fitness trends in the forecast, fitness has become something that comes in many varieties, with a plethora of options and choices. A healthy lifestyle in 2014 will be easier than ever considering the wide array of new fitness clubs, trend cycling boutiques, Crossfit box gyms, and yoga studios cropping up everywhere on Long Island. These new variety fitness fads are all the rage, and promise to "melt the fat" and "get you in the best shape of your life", and they may do just that, but before you buy, please take a time to acknowledge what it is you want, and more importantly, what your body needs. Before you achieve the body you have always dreamed of, take into consideration your age, current physical condition, realistic goals, and health concerns. This short inventory will help you make choices that will ultimately save you from the crash and burn that happens to so many seeking the "after holiday purge". According to a survey by ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), there are several fitness trends for the new year that will be ones worth trying out. Most of these trends have become household names by now, however, if you are new to fitness, or have decided to embark on a fitness journey, a bit of background about what to expect will steer you in the right direction to achieve your fitness goals. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) has now become a word synonymous with classic strength training. This kind of training can be found in small group training facilities such as Crossfit box gyms. You will use weights, kettlebells and body weight training methods. You can expect to gain muscle mass and lose body fat. Being aware of your own physical limitations and injuries is paramount to success in a program like this; the injuries you may have heard about with this type of workout usually occur when newbies push too hard too soon. The program will teach the basics on weight training and the workouts will change often, both are pluses. They will encourage healthy competition among trainees and there is a strong team-effort appeal at these gyms, too. BEST FOR: Athletes, weight loss goals, muscle mass goals, conditioning goals, overall health goals. HOT YOGA is now becoming increasingly mainstream for the overworked, under-stretched individual looking for some serious stress relief. Along with Pilates, these mind-body workouts are allowing gym goers to experience a form of exercise that qualifies as therapy for the mind, body and spirit. It can be ideal for people seeking a stress relieving, overall fitness effect. Be sure to bring
water and a towel, and stay hydrated before and after. The workout will leave you sweaty and feeling invigorated. BEST FOR: Those new to exercise, Flexibility training, Athletes, Weight loss goals. INDOOR CYCLING is quickly becoming the latest fad for those seeking a high energy workouts. There are many to choose from and they promise you will have one heck of a ride. Be aware this type of workout requires some preliminary apparel. You will need spin shoes (which will often be provided for a fee), some can be costly, but they are a must for this workout. Indoor cycling is all about working at the right intensity and not just idly pedaling. A great instructor will teach you how to monitor and progress your heart rate safely and steadily. This may be a great option for avid cyclists during the winter season. Beginners can go at their own pace, and a plus for this workout is that the music is invariably inspiring. BEST FOR: Athletes, weight loss goals, endurance and conditioning training goals GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING: Gym members who may have thought private trainers were way out of their budget can now get the programming and guidance of a professional trainer without the high cost of personal fitness trainer rates. Aside from affordability, group training is a great way to get friends and family to together to exercise. Typically, a group will consist of 3 or more people and having team effort and support often leads to achieving goals. BEST FOR: Exercisers on a budget, weight loss, newbies, boosting current fitness routine. The goal of any fitness routine may be to look better naked, however, ideally, we all need to make our bodies better at whatever our daily functions may be. Be honest with yourself. If you haven't exercised since high school and you've been sitting at a desk for 10 years, then HIIT may not be the best place to start. However, beginning any routine will take some adjustment. Hot yoga, though it may sound like a gently workout, will leave you sore afterward. It is recommended that you workout at least three times a week to effect a significant change in your overall appearance, if that's your goal. It's also not a bad idea to incorporate two or more of the types of workouts mentioned here, perhaps after you have "mastered" one type. Most importantly, find qualified instructors who have care and concern for your overall fitness goals, then you will be sure to have found the best place for you! *Please consult a physician before beginning an exercise program Leanne Neville, CPT, is Pilates Coordinator and group fitness instructor at Equinox Fitness with over 20 years as a fitness professional.

Always Choose JOY (Even When the Odds are Against You)! How does a family with a chronically or fatally ill child enjoy life? Is it possible for laughter and joy to coexist with suffering and grief? My family knows all too well the bittersweet joy that comes with celebrating a child's life - a milestone event, a birthday, a graduation, another holiday, yet, living day-to-day knowing your child is living on borrowed time. We are The Hardys. My name is Kathy and I've been married to Tom for 32 years. We have eight children between the ages of 27 and 13 and three of them have serious, chronic illnesses. David, 24, TJ, 22 and McKenna, 20 have cystic fibrosis (CF), a life shortening, progressive disease of the lungs and digestive system. McKenna also has cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD). McKenna, a full-time student, works part-time in a clothing store, attends a weekly Bible study, and is a youth volunteer, model and actress. TJ has moved in with his 97 year old, blind great-grandmother, helping with cooking, cleaning and caregiving. He volunteers at church as a gardener, barista, and choir member, he rings hand bells and performs with the Modesto Symphony Orchestra Chorus. David has been a valuable member of a premier hand bell ensemble for three years and also played drum set for various groups. But this past summer, he went into semi-retirement due to his failing health. This, of course, has been a source of great pain, especially for me. What do you do when your sick child's world keeps shrinking? How do you handle the grief when your child has to give up more and more cherished activities because their illness is progressing? How do you face the milestones and birthdays and holidays, knowing it may be their last? Recently, I attended a concert that David used to participate in and I saw that his absence necessitated a replacement. Seeing that David's condition was worsening while other people's lives were going on without him, caused me tremendous grief. Then I recalled what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." I decided to feel my grief and then move on to enjoy the beautiful music and the company I was with. I have found that it is important to acknowledge my own feelings and also to validate the feelings of other members of my family, especially the ill child. I never say "you shouldn't feel that way" or "don't cry." Unpleasant feelings are not bad feelings. They are as much a part of being human as the more pleasant emotions. Of course, if the person gets stuck in a slump, I will try to

help find something that makes his life worth living. If he is too tired or sick, I have learned it is respectful to accept that, too. Even with all the health challenges, our family has learned to find ways to decrease our grief and increase our joy. The key is to live as normally as possible and to express gratitude for each blessing in our lives instead of investing time and energy lamenting what is lost. We react to life with humor, sarcasm, laughter and tears. We act in musical productions together and when someone is ill, we sit quietly and watch movies together. We play together, fight with each other and fight for each other. We tease each other relentlessly and love each other fiercely, like when Shannon makes banana bread for David in the middle of the night. Some other specific things that multiply our joy are music (making it, listening to it, discussing it), playing with and laughing at our pets and most significantly, our faith. We have six cats, two dogs and a pot-bellied pig. The love exchanged between the animals and humans improves the quality of life for all of us. And the joy and serenity that our faith brings makes us all secure in our future on this planet and into eternity. I encourage you to search for a belief system that brings you peace. While celebrating the holidays that just passed, I prepared everyone's favorite dishes and observed the traditions that are most meaningful to each person. We were aware that this holiday may just have been our child's last, however, living in the moment gave us an uncompromised strength. We are all here today so we will enjoy each other today. We live in a way that brings few regrets and forgive each other and ourselves when we don't get things quite right. The bottom line? Treat every person every day as if it were their last. Pack all the love and joy you can into today. As author Erma Bombeck says, "Don't save the good china for only one day a year. If it gets broken, so what! It's only stuff. And wear your favorite outfit. Don't wait for a special occasion. Today is a special occasion." The people you love are worth loving fully, abundantly, extravagantly. No one knows when their last day will be. So do what my friend, Nancy Payton, has taught me: Celebrate Everything!

ON THE COVER: Julieanna Hever, Veria TV Show Host on Vegan Living Q: Were you always healthy/how did you become a believer in plant-based nutrition (personal health crises, raised that way)? A: I suffered with gastrointestinal issues for many years, without any proper diagnosis. After 20 years of misery, ER visits, and doctor’s appointments, I figured out I had food allergies. To this day, it boggles my mind that no physician ever asked about my diet. Further, I was a dancer and pursuing a career in acting. Managers, agents, and dance teachers were always advising me to lose weight. So, I attempted pretty much every weight loss diet over the majority of my life. Truly, a whole food, plant-based diet solved everything. Q: What made you decide to go vegan (animal lover/health, etc.) A: My initial interest in vegetarianism began as a teenager, when I read John Robbins' Diet For a New America and learned about how animals raised for food were treated and its environmental impact. Reading this book and many others changed my connection with food. When I discovered how brilliantly a vegan diet supported health too, I recognized the win-win-win across the board and put all the pieces together for me. Q: People don’t realize, but meat consumption is very detrimental to their health and planet. Please explain: A: The numbers are shocking of how profoundly the production of 70 billion plus animals a year impacts the environment. It’s the number one cause of greenhouse gas emissions; uses up almost half the world’s available land mass; is toxifying, depleting, and acidifying our oceans and leading to massive fresh water shortages, rainforest destruction and record losses of biodiversity. Essentially, we are using up all of our irreplaceable resources and infusing our air, water, and land with toxic chemicals that last decades or centuries to meet the consumer demands of animal products. Q: Explain how conventional factory farming is sooo unhealthy and terribly inhumane: A: Because of this insatiable desire, farmers are forced to use inhumane, filthy, horrific, and dangerous methods to raise animals for food. Livestock production is the number one cause of antibiotic overuse (leading us to increasingly more antibiotic-resistant superbugs causing lethal infections in humans) because 70-80% of all antibiotics are used in these healthy animals to prevent them from getting sick while living and dying under such confined, unnatural conditions. Plus, they feed animals foods they are not meant to consume (editor’s note: grain instead of grass and meat by-products from animals) along with steroids and hormones to fatten them up faster and expedite production. These animals live fearful, torturous existences. All of those stress hormones, infections, steroids, and toxins are built in to the products that end up on the plate. That’s in addition to the health-damaging elements of animal products that come naturally, like saturated fat, cholesterol, and insulin-like growth factor 1. The scientific literature is growing every day with new evidence supporting the benefits of a plantbased diet. Yes, the work from Drs. Neal Barnard, T. Colin Campbell, Dean Ornish, Caldwell
Esselstyn, Joel Fuhrman, and John McDougall show clearly the dramatic benefits. Q: What was/is the most challenging aspects of switching from conventional meatand dairy based diet? A: For me, the only challenge is the social element, especially while trying to raise kids. People are protective about their food and just knowing you are choosing to avoid animal products automatically inspires others to self-reflect on their dietary choices. I never judge anyone for what they eat and most of my friends and family are not vegan. But, slowly, simply by paying attention, everyone around me starts to make changes in this direction. Witnessing that subtle movement towards eating less animals and more whole plants bring me great joy. Q: How challenging it was for you to go thru the traditional RD training where they still rely on the antiquated government Food Pyramid? A: I learned a tremendous amount in graduate school that supported my diet and helped prepare me for all that I understand and practice now. I simply created my own food guide pyramid and plate when I left school. Biochemistry, food science, and research analysis are among the infinite tools gained in school that are necessary to navigate the nutrition world. Q: What are your best suggestions for going vegan? Should you start with a flexitarian diet, move to vegetarian, then onto vegan, etc? A: Some people prefer jumping in “cold tofu,” while others need to dip their toes and progress. There is no right or wrong way and you can’t go wrong with adding more whole plants into your meals. Q: What are some easy vegan meal ideas that are fast, easy to prepare? A: I can go on and on about the infinite options of fabulous vegan cuisine. Some of my favorites include Indian and Ethiopian stews, hummus with everything, salads with tahini-based dressings, veggie sushi, burritos and rice bowls with veggies, beans, rice, and guacamole, veggie burgers with baked fries; and pasta with a cashew cheese or marinara sauce. Q: What do you personally do to stay healthy every day (exercise, diet, supplementation, mental/emotional/spiritual well being)? A: Exercising brings me mental clarity, so I try to do something at least 5 days a week. I drink tea and water throughout the day, eat lots of fresh and cooked vegetables, beans, and whole grains. I also find that I do best when I eat only 2 meals a day. I supplement with vitamin B12, vitamin D during the winter, and probiotics sometimes. Q: Please explain what your show is about when it airs, how people can find you.... A: “What Would Julieanna Do?” airs on Veria Living daily and is a wellness talk show covering nutrition, cooking, fitness, psychology, relationships, beauty, parenting, fashion, and more. It is all about living naturally and healthfully with an optimistic, fun, healthpromoting perspective. Julieanna Hever offers nutritional counseling at: www.PlantBasedDietitian.com. She is author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition” and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Gluten-Free Vegan Cooking.” She is currently writing her third book, “The Vegiterranean Diet.”

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.
