appy July!

Happy Summer!

July is always a fun month as we get to celebrate the birthday of our beloved country and reflect on our gratefulness for the freedom that we enjoy. We have so much to be thankful for living in America. How about spending the month of July being grateful? Noticing what you are grateful for each day could be a very rewarding way to spend the month.

To begin to bring more gratitude into your life, you can deliberately meditate on the things in your life that help you, that you appreciate, or that give you pleasure. Gratitude can lead to feelings of love, appreciation, generosity, and compassion, which further open our hearts and help rewire our brain to fire in more positive ways.

are grateful for. For example; write what you are grateful for in your daily journal, post pictures, create affirmation cards, or recite your list of what you are grateful for each morning. You can also express your gratitude by writing cards to friends and family, baking cookies for neighbors or sharing food with the poor, expressing appreciation for the abundance of food that we have in this country.

Enlist your family and friends in a month of gratitude! Everyone that participates will feel better!

“Have an attitude of gratitude. The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude.”

— Zig Ziglar

One of the most wonderful reasons for being grateful is the positive impact it has on the way we feel. Also, being grateful is an energizing way to start your day!

I am grateful to our wonderful contributors for our July issue, and I am grateful for how they share their expertise and knowledge to help us live a healthier life.

Make July your gratitude month! Make a commitment to an attitude of gratitude for the thirty-one days of July and notice how much that impacts your outlook.

Pick a way you will express what you

Of course, we are grateful to you, the reader! In this issue you will find a request to share your favorite smoothie recipe on facebook: www.facebook.com/HBMagazine.

Yoga’s True Nature Written by Shawna Lee West

A

ll around us, people are being drawn to Yoga. There are studios in every community. Yoga clothes and accessories have become a multibillion dollar industry. You say the word yoga and somebody inevitably has a reaction; “I love my teacher” or “I’m not flexible enough for yoga.” Although most people have heard of yoga, for many the practice is still somewhat shrouded in exotic mystery.

People begin practicing yoga for many reasons: to get in shape, a doctor’s orders, to meet new people or maybe to find solace, quiet and peace. For whatever reason one starts, Yoga quickly reveals itself as so much more than a physical experience.

Yoga is a mindful exploration of one's internal and external space. It is a practice that is deeply personal and one that opens itself infinitely. The word “yoga” means to yoke, or to unite, completely with all that surrounds and fills the individual so that one feels his/her place as a part of the Universe- not apart from it. Yet it is not a religion nor need it be focused in its spiritual disciplines.

Yoga - it’s a form of exercise by American standards, yet originally it was

8

developed in India as a practice, a way of living through eight standards. So why has Yoga become the latest craze?

Maybe it’s because yoga is a union of mind, body, spirit. Yoga creates reflection and involves meditation- quiet and calm amongst a world that is in constant chaos.

The most widely known part of yoga includes Asana and Vinyasa, the flowing movement of one pose to the next. To tap into the full benefits of yoga, one also practices breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation. Yoga also includes elements of behavior and living.

To practice yoga means to practice consideration so that you may move with grace and consideration for the good of all that inhabits the Earth.

pain relief, a lighter spirit, longer and leaner muscles, more open joints, increased range of motion, and so much more.

Locally, there are opportunities to participate in yoga retreats that give you a chance to learn more about yoga, practice and immerse yourself in a full body, mind, spirit workshop.

To learn more, contact, Shawna West Ganlibakken Tahoe, 800 543 3221 See ad on page 9

Benefits of yoga include greater mental clarity, flexibility in both body and mind, a calmer and steadier heart, healthier functioning systems (i.e. digestive, cardiovascular, emotional),

HEADACHES Written by Michael Gerber, MD, HMD

H

eadaches come from many causes. They may originate from hormonal imbalances such as progesterone deficiency and estrogen excess for headaches occurring around menstrual periods.

Progesterone topical cream at 50 mg/ pump rubbed into the forearms and wrists can stop many of these headaches in 3 minutes. Taken continuously through the menstrual cycle, progesterone prevents them from happening at all in many women, along with preventing PMS and menstrual cramps by the second cycle. There are no side effects from using progesterone except fatigue which can be very helpful for insomnia, awakening in the night.

Hundreds of textbooks have been written about headaches and yet innovative solutions remain elusive.

German doctors have taught us about the miracles of Neural Therapy since 1905. Neural Therapy, procaine therapy is used in acupuncture points everywhere in the body and nowhere more effectively than in headaches.

Procaine is a molecule that wakes up nerves which have been injured or damaged. For example, ¼ cc of procaine injected into acupuncture points on the back of the head with a

10

tiny mosquito needle (doesn’t hurt, really) stops many headaches in 30 seconds. Sometimes secondary injections need to be done in the temples, neck and other painful headache points if the pain moves around.

There are no side effects from this therapy unless the patient has an allergy to procaine. We always test the patient on sensitivity to procaine before any injection therapy.

We can beef up this Neural Therapy with additional injectable combination homeopathic remedies from Heel Company in Baden Baden, Germany. We add these remedies to the injections when there is an element of vascular spasm as found in migraine headaches. It won’t stop a three day migraine with nausea, vomiting and extreme light sensitivity but it helps especially if starting early in the cycle. Intravenous magnesium can be most helpful for migraines.

Headaches can come from musculoskeletal stress. If your doctor,

masseuse, spouse or child presses on top of your shoulders and you shriek in pain you have issues of muscles tension.

Massage is wonderful for alleviating these stressful muscles. Magnesium, especially magnesium glycinate can relax tight muscles and even relieve fibromyalgia. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea. If this occurs simply reduce the dose. Topical homeopathic remedies such as Zeel and Traumeel can help relieve sore muscles and joints.

There are scores of oral homeopathic remedies which treat headaches.

Chiropractic adjustments can also be helpful for headaches related to misaligned neck vertebrae.

July 2015 • Healthy Beginnings

Toxicity Food allergies can cause headaches. The big three bad guys to eliminate to see if they impact your headaches are sugar, milk and wheat (gluten). If you take a couple of weeks off these foods and feel remarkably better you may be sensitive to them.

A toxic liver (the oil filter for our body) can fail to screen toxic materials from a leaky intestine which allows fecal material (yum) to go directly by the circulation to the liver. This toxicity can cause headaches in many people, especially the very constipated folks (Doctor I have a bowel movement every week or two, that’s normal isn’t it?) People who are having less than one stool per day are creating a toxic load on their body. The Gerson Therapy of coffee enemas has been great for headaches in our past 40 plus years of practice. The coffee goes directly from the bowel into the liver and turns on bile flow which cleans

out the liver. Liver gallbladder flushes are also powerful. For directions look up online.

Weakness of any of our hormones such as cortisol, progesterone and thyroid can cause headaches from low blood sugar and adrenalin/cortisol spikes.

Over the counter drugs don’t ever answer the causal questions of why one gets headaches in the first place. It is not a lack of drugs – it is always imbalanced body chemistry.

STAY AWAY FROM STATINS It Gets Worse

Written by Robert A. Eslinger, D.O., H.M.D.

T

he regular readers of this magazine will remember when I wrote an article a few years ago called “Stay Away from those Statins.” Well it has gotten worse.

Dr. Kallash Chand, deputy chairman of the British Medical Association has commented on recent research which found those who take statin (cholesterol-lowering) drugs are more than twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s disease in later life than those who do not.

Another recent study showed statin use increases the risk of diabetes by 46 percent.

This has led to calls to end the widespread use of the drugs!

The Parkinson’s research carried out over 20 years, and involving nearly 16,000 people, suggests cholesterol may have a vital role in protecting the brain and the nervous system. The brain itself is between 70-80% cholesterol!

The findings have alarmed experts who say if applied to the number of Britons deemed eligible for statins, it could equate to 150,000 extra patients with Parkinson’s disease, a central nervous system disorder affecting one in 350 mostly older people.

The studies have also fueled concerns that statins, now recommended for up to half the adult population over 50 by government drug policy adviser the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, may be doing patients more harm than good.

Other studies have shown a link between the cholesterol-lowering drugs and potentially disabling side effects including cataracts, diabetes, muscle pains, fatigue, memory loss and dementia.

Dr. Xuemei Huang, who led the research on the link with Parkinson’s disease, recently published in the Journal of Movement Disorders, expressed concerns about the widespread prescription of statins.

The professor of neurology at Penn State College of Medicine in Pennsylvania said: “If we blanket prescribe statins to people, we could be creating a huge population of people with neurological problems.”

Dr. Chand is quoted as saying “The risks of sideeffects of these drugs are far greater than any potential benefits and it is high time these drugs were restricted in the low-risk population and only given to people with existing heart disease.”

Isn’t it time we started paying attention to studies like this and stop this madness?

Jasper

crystology

The Make-up Stone Written By Lissie Lyles Jasper is a fine-grained chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz. A common stone that comes in many beautiful colors and patterns, Jasper is typically found in hues ranging from black, brown, to red, orange, yellow and green. It is associated with the planet Mars, the element of fire, and has associations with astrological signs of Leo, Taurus, Virgo and Scorpio.

Jasper balances yin and yang energies.

Metaphysically, Jasper is known as a stone of gentleness. It is sometimes called the "nurturing stone." It is said to provide protection in a way that is both strong and peaceful. It is a grounding, supportive stone in times of high stress.

It instills confidence and courage in the wearer, especially when in contact with the skin.

Jasper is used for bringing beauty into life and specific situations. Beauty brought by

Healthy Beginnings • July 2015

jasper can be striking inner beauty, as well as external beauty. This has earned it the nickname "make up stone."

Red is the most commonly found color of Jasper, and as such, its healing properties are focused on the blood and related organs, such as the heart and liver. Jasper is used in crystal healing, particularly for the liver, kidney, gallbladder, stomach and intestinal problems including heartburn, IBS, acid reflux, hallucinations, longevity, epilepsy and seizures. It is used in gemstone therapy to stimulate sexual energy and fertility, though usually a mix of different jasper colors is used (such as blue jasper, yellow jasper and green jasper), not just the red stones. Jasper can also be used to enhance healing of any kind as well as pain relief. Because Jasper works best when touched, it can be quite effective

if the stone is placed on the part of the body that is troubled.

Jasper is also used to align all the chakras, different varieties of the stone have relationships to different chakras according to their energies and colors.

Please keep in mind however, healing crystal meanings are intended as spiritual supports to healing, and are not meant to serve as a prescription or substitute for professional health care.

healthy recipe Recipe from Lynn Virgilio, Publisher

I

t seems like everywhere we go it’s “green smoothies!” The good news is it is a healthy trend taking hold. Green smoothies are a way to pack vibrant nutrients into a simple low calorie meal or snack. In addition, there are tons of recipe variations to choose from.

One of my favorite green smoothies is one that has a tropical taste; greens, coconut water, pineapple juice, banana, pineapple, mango, lime and ginger. It is very refreshing and delicious!

RECIPE Blend greens and coconut water first in the blender, after the greens and water are pureed, add the remaining ingredients • I cup of greens (spinach, spring mix, mixed greens, kale or any variations of greens) • 6 oz. coconut water • 2oz. pure pineapple juice • ½ cup fresh pineapple • ½ banana (frozen preferred) • ½ mango • ½ lime (no peel) • ½ teaspoons fresh ginger root (optional) • Crushed ice The ginger is good for your digestion, the fruits provide vitamin C and minerals, and the greens provide vitamins A and C. You can also choose to add one of these additional ingredients to your smoothie; 2 tbsp of shredded coconut, 2 tbsp of Chia seeds, 2 tbsp of Flax seeds or a scoop of your favorite plant based protein powder.

Let us know your favorite smoothie recipe. You can post it on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HBMagazine or email your favorite recipe to publisher@HBmag.com.

We look forward to hearing about your favorite green smoothie recipe!

GOD Trumps All Odds Written by Andy Drymalski, EdD

Tom didn’t think he would be able to get a job.

At age 58, with graying hair and a noticeable limp from an old back injury, he figured most employers would see him as a liability rather than an asset to their organization. But when he walked into the lobby of a small company looking for someone to help manage their warehouse, he was surprised by an unfamiliar feeling of “coming home.” There was a sense of destiny present which his strongly rational mind took note of but mostly tried to disregard.

situation. This is because your psychological and spiritual process defines the boundaries of what is possible and not possible in your future. If it is your destiny to become a doctor, to establish a successful business, to be married, or to raise a child all by yourself, the deck is stacked in your favor. It doesn’t mean that your path will be easy, but it does mean that if you are willing to do your part and make the necessary sacrifices, your dream is attainable.

The primary determinant of what is possible in your future is not the statistical trends of people like yourself, but, rather, the developmental process that is trying to unfold in your life.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

By June Milligan, M.Ed., CCHt, PLR

H

ave you ever found yourself repeating a negative story that you feel fully justified in re-telling? Something that makes you angry or sad every time you think of it? We need to either do something about it or hush. If you can’t physically do anything about it, focus on what you DO want and leave the old story in the past, where it belongs. The purpose of pivoting your mind to something pleasant is so that you will feel better.

Your feelings have everything to do with what you’re attracting for we cannot feel bad and attract something good. Every thought and its accompanying emotion have a vibrational frequency, like a radio signal, beaming out in all directions, attracting the people, conditions and situations that match the thought. Your thoughts, propelled by emotion, have great manifestational power.

Continuing to stew over any negative situation simply attracts more of the same. Continuing to think about a negative situation also causes your body to manufacture cortisol, the stress hormone, which was designed to be in your cells for only a few moments, while you ran from the saber-toothed tiger.

By keeping your fight or flight system on high alert all the time through stress or anxiety, that long-term presence of cortisol damages the cells and compromises your immune system.

Are you working for someone you think could win the World’s Worst Boss Contest? Then either consider moving to another job or begin to use the “tapping” energy technique to defuse your anger and frustration.

If your friends really care about you and they know that “like attracts like,” they won’t play the game. They’ll change the subject or remove themselves.

Why would anyone consciously allow themselves to be brought down to a low, dense, negative vibrational level?

If they care

Have you ever noticed that when you tell a negative story you feel the same emotions you felt when you first lived it? That conversation evokes those same emotions from your friends and acquaintances too. Then they start in on their stories, and you’re soon in an unconscious contest to see who can outdo each other with the worst tale.

about themselves they will depart as fast as possible so that they can get their own thoughts and feelings (vibrational frequencies) back on track.

Do you sometimes wonder why we focus on the negative so much?

It’s because our society seems to encourage complaining and the telling of sad stories. We grew up thinking it’s normal because everyone was doing it. But it’s not helpful in any way. It’s a dysfunctional habit that breeds more dysfunction. So do yourself, your family and everyone around you the huge favor of raising your consciousness, your vibration, your attitude, and your level of joy, therefore enhancing your experience of being here in this body at this time.

We are in charge of our own emotions, so we can always control our response to the actions of others. This is obvious because how we think about a situation evokes our emotions. When a value is assigned to the original feeling around any situation, then that creates positive or negative emotions, which then drive our words and actions. Look back to a certain situation you’ve lived through and follow that progression. For example do you remember what your thoughts were at the time you were reprimanded or criticized for something?

They were probably defensive, which in turn created the emotion of anger. The emotion drives our words and actions, so we often end up telling the story to our co-workers, spouse and friends.

Instead we need to pause, stand back and observe.

Become an observer of human behavior. The moment you let yourself be drawn into the emotional storm, you lose all your personal power. So rather than spreading the negative story around, just stand back, take a deep breath and observe.

Every time we tell a negative story, a part of our subconscious mind thinks it has happened

By doing that, you will be retaining your personal power, no By doing that, you will be retaining your personal power, not giving it away to a rigid person who isn’t willing to change in giving it away to a rigid person who isn’t willing to change in any way and who won’t shut up. any way and who won’t shut up.

The Domino Effect Written by Dr. Tony Jensen

W

e have two major foundations to our body. The first is our feet and the second is our pelvis, or low back. If one of these foundations gets out of place or distorted, problems can arise. By the age of 20, nearly 80 percent of us have some kind of feet problems, and by age 40 almost all of us do. Your feet are the foundation of your body.

They support you when you stand, walk or run. They also help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches and bones are in their ideal stable positions.

Healthcare professionals know that alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. This is called a chain reaction.

By adjusting, stabilizing, and balancing your feet with the use of orthotics, it will enhance your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Orthotics complement your healthcare professional’s treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life.

The second foundation, the pelvis or low back, is the number two reason that Americans see their doctor – second only to colds and flu. It is not necessarily one event that actually caused your pain. You may have done many things improperly– like standing, sitting, or lifting–for a long time. Then suddenly, one simple movement, like reaching for something in the shower or bending from your waist, leads to the feeling of pain.

Many experts believe that over time, muscle strain can lead to an overall imbalance in the spinal structure. This leads to a constant tension on the muscles, ligaments, bones, and discs, making the back more prone to injury or re-injury.

The causes of pain in the low back, or lumbosacral region, tend to add on to one another. For example, after straining muscles, you are likely to walk or move in different ways to avoid pain, or to use muscles that aren’t sore. That can cause you to strain other muscles that don’t usually move that way.

Pasta Submitted by Marie-Claire Hermans, Energy Coach for Experts™

fter a busy day, you want to wave a quick dish that everyone loves. Pasta is the perfect instant dinner for those moments. Unfortunately, pasta as you know it doesn’t offer the nutritional value that your body is longing for after a long day. The gluten make you crash in your couch after the last bite, the carbohydrates are being transferred into sugars, the sauce that you pulled out of a jar on the shelve is only delivering empty calories that stick to your belly and hips.

It doesn’t have to be that way. What you want when you come home is energy to do the things you love doing. Living, plant-based food is giving you everything you need to fully enjoy life. You don’t have to miss anything, au the contrary! Your reward is on its way with every bite you take: good mood, a young skin, kicking energy. The scale is smiling at you, your day feels lighter, you are getting more done in less time.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult, boring or time consuming at all. Yet, this is the combination and perception that scares most people off to choose for making fresh, energizing choices. You can start today and give yourself a treat with this delicious raw pesto pasta. Ready in ten minutes, a delight for the eye and a pleasure on your tongue with a boost of energy for an animated evening on top.

What’s Testing You? Written by Kate Colby Nelson, RScP

I

n the epic Indian tale, The Ramayana, is an illustration of the power of choice and the decision to claim the Truth for ourselves. Rama is the human aspect of God and Sita is his beautiful, loyal, and loving wife. While hunting one day Rama draws a circle of protection around Sita and tells her to not leave the circle while he is away.

Ravana, the incarnation of evil, sees the beautiful Sita and determines that he must have her as his own. Knowing it is the custom of her culture to help the elderly he transforms himself into an old beggar and approaches Sita. Sita is faced with a spiritual dilemma, Rama has instructed her to stay in the circle, yet an old man is in need, her culture is whispering for her to help, it would be the right thing. Sita decides to leave the circle, and when she does, is abducted

by Ravana. What no one knows is that Sita is with a child, Rama’s child, a secret she has not revealed, even to Rama.

This epic is filled with wild drama as Rama and his devotee, Hanuman, fight legendary battles to rescue Sita. All the while, Ravana is in agony, as Sita remains faithful to Rama, never setting eyes on Ravana, that is the depth of her loyalty. After many heroic feats Rama rescues Sita. To his surprise he sees she is with child. They return to the kingdom to ‘live happily ever after’, yet the village folk are not so happy. They began gossiping about Sita’s condition, noting that she was, after all, with Ravana for many months. The whispers and gossip became so unrelenting that Rama decides to test Sita. He orders Hanuman to build a path of fire through the city and asks Sita to prove her loyalty by walking through the roaring pyre. She begs Rama not to make her do it, but the villagers persist. With the

24

streets lined with onlookers and the flames leaping higher and higher, Sita, knowing her own Truth, walked steadfast into the fire. The flames licked at her body, and, with each step the flames were transformed into rose petals at her feet. The test was passed and she took her rightful place in the Kingdom. But not for long, time passed and the villagers once again began to question if the fire was not hot enough or big enough. So once again Rama asked Hanuman to build a fire bigger and hotter so that Sita could prove herself again. Again Sita begged Rama not to do this yet Rama could not stop the voices, “Test, test, test” they called to him. Sita, in all of her spiritual power, decided not be tested, she stood at the path of fire and said, ‘no’, and exiled herself to the forest.

The Ramayana continues and Sita and Rama’s story is far from over, yet there is a pearl in this teaching. The pearl is ‘What is my test?’ What is the test that keeps coming up, what is the test that whispers, “I don’t believe the Truth of who you are” and keeps us from our good?

When we can root out those false beliefs, patterns, and whispers of the mind through conscious work and selfawareness we can make the choice to transform fire into rose petals. We can choose to distance ourselves from the negative gossip of our thoughts and move into the power of our true nature.

THE SOIL WILL SAVE US How Scientists, Farmers, and Foodies Are Healing the Soil to Save the Planet

I

By Kristin Ohlson Reviewed for Healthy Beginnings by June Milligan, M.Ed., CCHt, PLR

f it’s not in the soil it’s not in the spinach! This book explains how thousands of years of farming and ranching practice, especially modern industrial agriculture, have led to the loss of up to 80% of carbon from the world’s soils. That carbon is now floating in the atmosphere and even if we stopped using fossil fuels today it would continue warming the planet. Journalist and bestselling author, Kristen Ohlson, makes an excellent case for our “Great Green Hope”. This describes processes being used by progressive ranchers and farmers all over the world which can turn atmospheric carbon into beneficial soil carbon and potentially reverse global warming. But that’s not all these new practices can accomplish.

Ohlson conveys her information in a lively style, easily readable so that we see the ground at our feet not as just dirt but rather as a coral reef teeming with life. Our soil is a massive biological machine on which the health of our species depends. Dirt is not just something that holds plants upright. It has billions of microorganisms in every teaspoon.

Soil has finally been included in the conversation about food and it’s easy to see how the web of life below the surface is strongly affected by the web of life above ground, for better or worse.

There is a new movement among small farmers who are changing their practices with soil in both large and subtle ways, knowing that the soil is the foundation of all agricultural life whether they raise chickens, corn, pigs, spinach, beef or peaches. Sometimes they call themselves microbe farmers, aware of the billions of tiny creatures they can’t see but they know are at work in the soil. Sometimes they call themselves carbon farmers knowing that it’s carbon that is making their soils richer, moister and darker. In order to make a living as a farmer they had to let go of some of the old conventional ways of looking at farming. They learned that leaving the land fallow for so much of the year starves the microbes below the soil.

They learned that if they used cover crops instead of letting the land lie fallow the microbes are working all year and making the soil richer. When soil is depleted by allowing the microbes to die during the winter, the crops that are grown there have only a fraction of the nutritional value of the food grown by our grandparents.

There is an amazing symbiotic relationship between the earthworms, fungi and microbes in the soil and the plants that are growing there. Conventional agriculture has known little or nothing about this or at least it has not been conveyed to the farmers until recently. These new farmers are not plowing the land. They have learned that this releases tons of precious carbon into the air. They have also learned that the hoof prints of animals stir up the soil just enough. It doesn’t seem to matter how many animals graze the land, only how long they are allowed to stay there. Farmers are learning how to develop topsoil as deep as four feet - topsoil that held only one inch of rain a few years ago can now take a seven inch rain easily without flooding. Farmers have demonstrated to the author how deep the topsoil is by thrusting a steel rebar four feet into the ground with one thrust. Even the author could do this, all the way up to her knuckles with minimum effort.

Farmers today are learning they need to have an open mind as well as the ability to research.

That’s easy because of the internet.

There are many organizations that are promoting these new ideas too. They

26

hold seminars and gladly dispense written information. Most of them are listed in this book. Farmers that want to prosper more and work less are using these new methods. Through the internet farmers, fruit growers and ranchers exchange information and get new ideas about how to make their land more productive and their animals healthier. Without a profit no rancher or farmer can survive so they look very closely at how these changes are going to affect the bottom line. This author gives dozens of examples of how farmers all over this country as well as in other countries have made the transition and are making more profit than before. She gives the names and websites of many organizations that are on the front line of these changes. One of the farmers she interviewed said of his neighbor, who is still spraying pesticides and using lots of fertilizer “He needs to get lazier. He’s working way too hard and spending way too much money.”

Consumers are becoming aware of the dangers of pesticides and as a result, they’re demanding more organic food than the U.S. is currently producing. It’s a shame that we have to import healthy food for our citizens. And because of the widespread use of chemical fertilizer runoff, we create polluted land, water tables and rivers. The dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of Mississippi River, caused by fertilizer runoff, is one of the largest in the world – over 5,000 square miles!

On a related subject, giant corporations like Monsanto try to force farmers all over the world to plant only GMO seeds.

However, people are getting wise and countries like India as well as great swaths of Asia and Europe have banned GMO’s altogether. But not the U.S. Why? There are four lobbyists for every congressperson in this country and those lobbyists keep pretty busy handing out gifts and campaign contributions.

The book Altered Genes, Twisted Truth tells how the efforts by big chemical corporations to genetically engineer our food have subverted science, corrupted the government and systematically deceived the public. The highhanded tricks of these corporations are becoming well known now and people are asking questions and rejecting GMO foods. Eighty percent of all corn currently grown in the U.S. is genetically modified.

What if people start buying only imported GMO-free corn products? This is probably the only thing that will get the attention of these big chemical corporations and the farmers who use GMO seeds.

Farmers are vastly underappreciated in this country. Think about it. In times of a national emergency who would have the knowledge to produce food? Only a small percentage of us – only gardeners, farmers, fruit growers and ranchers. These skills aren’t learned overnight. So kudos to all these open minded, curious and dedicated people who are learning new ways to work in partnership with the animals, plants, soil, microbes, fungi and earthworms to create a symbiotic relationship through their love of the land. After all, the rearranged letters of the word heart spell earth.

This is an excellent book with lots of up to date information.

It can be purchased at your local bookstore or online.

here’s almost nothing worse than experiencing ear pain, itching, loss of hearing, or a sinus headache.

Ear Candling is an ancient practice, dating back to biblical times in Egypt, the Orient, as well as European cultures.

This simple, gentle treatment removes wax from the ear, improving your sense of well-being, physical, mental and even spiritual. The candle is a long hollow tube made from unbleached muslin immersed in an aromatic herbal solution. After it dries, the cone is then dipped into beeswax. The cone or candle is then placed into the ear opening and the top of the cone is lit; soft warm white smoke billows down the tube into the ear and softens the wax. The flame on top of the cone creates a vacuum that pulls out built up wax, toxins, bacteria, dirt and residue from past medications. Ear Candling may also help with a dry hacking cough (a result of a sinus infection), sinus headache, tinnitus, and itchy ear. Today more people are seeking alternatives to digging in the ear with Q-tips or using a hydrogen peroxide flush to clean a blocked ear canal. Ear Candling is a relaxing, natural, non-intrusive treatment.

Memory Loss is Not an Automatic Side Effect of Aging Metro Creative Graphics, Inc.

N

o one, regardless of age, is immune to random bouts of memory loss. While misplaced car keys or forgetting items on your grocery list are nothing to get worked up over, many men and women over 50 do start to worry about memory lapses, especially when they start to occur with more frequency than they might have just a few years ago.

But while memory loss might be quickly associated with aging, increased forgetfulness is not an inevitable side effect of getting older, a fact that those at or approaching retirement age should find comforting.

When considering the relationship between memory and aging, it's important that men and women recognize the distinction

28

between memory lapses and dementia, as the two are not one and the same. As a person ages, his or her hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, often deteriorates. This can affect how long it takes to learn and recall information. But just because this process is slower does not mean it's a warning sign of dementia, which is the loss of certain mental functions, including memory. Though taking longer to recall information can be frustrating, many people still retain their ability to recall information. In addition, while dementia brought on by conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease is untreatable, there are things men and women can do to strengthen their memories and reduce their momentary lapses in memory.
