publisher’s letter

I

n honor of Father’s day, let your father know how much he means to you! We get such strength and direction from our father’s love.

I was fortunate to have a wonderful father. He taught me so much about responsibility, fairness and integrity. He was a deeply good person and lived the qualities of fairness and integrity in everything that he did.

I depended on him for guidance and strength well into my later years.

Unfortunately, he passed in 2009, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. His memory, his love and his teachings stay with me. Years ago my father sent me a beautiful email called “God’s Pharmacy.”

I cherish the email and revisit it often.

God left us many clues as to what foods help what part of the body.

For example; a sliced carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye, and yes, science shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and the function of the eyes.

A tomato has four chambers and is red.

The heart has four chambers and is red.

Tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed heart and blood foods.

A walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere , upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums even the wrinkles of folds on the nut are just like the neo -cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three dozen neurotransmitters for brain function.

Nature provides us with what we need to be healthy and vibrant.

Sadly, over the years the food industry has changed and modified our food supply to aid the emphasis on producing mass quantity rather than quality.

These modifications have changed the food’s original make up as well as added unhealthy chemicals and toxins.

It’s not a surprise that diabetes, gluten intolerance, and cancer are on the rise.

Your best approach to healing is to learn about the root cause of the ailment. If you have been diagnosed with an illness, take the time to research the diagnosis, get a second and even third opinion.

We are very lucky to live in the age of “Google” where the greatest library in the world is right at our finger tips.

Along with your research, amazing healers are available to work directly with the body’s natural ability to heal it

through many means. Proper nutrition, elimination of toxins, body work, exercise, supplements and essential oils are but a few. Emphasize the fortification of your body to heal rather than filling it with toxins from drugs, suffering side effects and not really knowing how those drugs will affect your body over the long term.

Our June issue is packed with valuable choices for healing information across many modalities. Learn about spiritual practitioners to help you align with your purpose. Take advantage of Feldenkrais classes, massage therapy, natural healing for cancer, low testosterone, help for back issues and, enjoy our recipes!

“Like” our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HBMagazine, and take advantage of the healthy tips and information posted there daily!

Here’s to a happy, healthy JUNE!

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP? Here are Some Things You Should Look for

J

une is the traditional month for weddings, so if you’re in that planning stage approaching the big day, you must be pretty sure you’ve found “the one.” Whether you’re planning a big wedding or a small, intimate ceremony with family and just a few friends, you’re expecting this to last.

By now, you’ve probably gone through discussions (or at least thoughts) regarding honesty and trust, responsibility, realistic expectations, mutual respect, a sense of humor, a positive mindset and of course career, hopes and dreams as well as money and habits of spending.

Some of you may have even sat down and drawn out a Venn diagram, listing the things that are the most important to

you can trust each other. If not, you may need to rethink this union.

Sometimes people think if they like many of the same things, like skiing, hiking, baseball, dogs and travel, it’s a slam-dunk relationship. However, if you’re at odds about honesty, responsibility, a feeling of equality and mutual trust, you’re heading for trouble.

Honesty is closely tied to trust but doesn’t deal with just the relationship.

It deals with all manner of business dealings, stories told to and about others, personal character, etc. By now, you have an idea of what the other person is all about. If honesty is not one of his or her main qualities, you might want to rethink this union.

The important things are what you need to have in common, not just sports and pets.

Regarding trust, there is no substitute for it. Trust is simply unparalleled by anything else and is highly influential in making or breaking relationships.

By now, through various experiences while dating, you both probably know

Another important quality is acceptance.

We need to embrace our loved ones for how they feel and who they are. That doesn’t mean blindly overlooking areas in which they need to grow, but it does mean practicing fair judgment without any strict agenda of how they need to change.

General Therapy vs. Spine Specialized Therapy for Relief of Back or Neck Pain

Article Provided by SpineNevada

tudies have shown that one of the only ways to permanently relieve back or neck pain involves using exercise to change the physiology of the spine to make it stronger and more resistant to injury. It is a logical question to wonder if all physical therapists use the same techniques. When selecting a physical therapist for back or neck pain, here are a few items a person should consider.

1. A general physical therapist may spend weeks attempting to mask pain using heat, ice or ultrasound, however research has shown that using these passive treatments is not ultimately the best way to return someone to activity.

2. A general physical therapist often sees a wide variety of patients each day who suffer problems related to sore elbows, knees or shoulders.

3. It is important to select a physical therapist with specific experience in treating spine conditions.

June 2015 • Healthy Beginnings

In contrast to a general physical therapy treatment approach, a physical therapist with advanced training in spine has hands-on skills and experience in helping relieve back and neck pain. A spinespecialized physical therapist’s primary goal is to enable the patient to perform a customized home exercise program as early as his / her first visit. The physical therapist’s second goal is to make the patient independent of physical therapy within a short period of time.

Spine-specialized physical therapy can involve techniques taught by schools including Paris, Ola Grimsby, Cyriax and the Maitland therapy school in Australia.

Rather than a single school of thought, a spine healthcare consumer should consider seeking a specialist with a variety of skills who can match the best treatments to his / her particular problem.

A manual therapist’s background typically begins with physical therapy training, followed by advanced education in spine that sets them apart from general physical therapists. This specialized education can be within a host of manual therapy philosophies, each involving unique pain-relieving techniques that help patients return to function as quickly as possible.

Regardless of the particular school of thought, the best spine therapists avoid the use of passive modalities, which do not provide permanent relief.

Healthy Beginnings • June 2015

The overall goal of spine surgery at a center of excellence is to treat the problem, while at the same time causing the least amount of disruption to the patient’s lifestyle. Spine surgery should be a choice of last resort after all nonsurgical methods have been exhausted.

If spine surgery is the right course of action, it is essential for the healthcare consumer to play an active role in the post operative recovery. The ideal time frame for entering physical therapy is 2-3 weeks after spine surgery.

Participation in post-operative physical therapy allows the patient to obtain the full benefit from the spine procedure. In short, physical therapy and appropriate exercise can help patients recover from spine surgery as quickly and completely as possible.

Physical therapy and exercise help the body achieve proper alignment and balance. Here is an example to illustrate the importance of specialized physical therapy following spine surgery. A procedure that involves the spine can be similar to when you replace the tires on your car — without proper alignment— the tires will not last as long or wear as evenly. A physical therapist’s role following a spine procedure is to help with the alignment and balance of the body to ensure the full positive effects of the spine surgery are achieved.

Another benefit of post-operative physical therapy is that the physical therapist can customize an exercise program that mimics work duty. For instance, a physical therapy clinic may have equipment such as an Inspire Fitness FT2 Trainer which allows the

physical therapists to direct postoperative patients as they relearn functional movements and simulate work duty activities in a supported and assisted manner. These specialized movements help to maximize muscle stability and control of the surgical region, especially in the first three months after surgery.

Manual physical therapy relates to the use of a therapist’s hands to achieve pain relief. By using specific techniques, the spine therapist can relieve pain through hands-on movements applied to vertebrae and soft tissue areas. This is achieved not passively, with a modality such as ice or heat, but through actively moving the joints and tissues.

THE POWER OF AGREEMENT Written by Kate Colby Nelson, RScP

T

here is a Power in the Universe that is the essence of all life.

It is the river of substance that flows in, through, and as unique individualized expressions, it is knowing itself, experiencing itself, and eternally expanding itself through each life and through all of life.

We are one with this substance, it is what we live, breathe, and have our being in. It responds to our thoughts and beliefs as a unified field of consciousness. Like dandelion seeds on a windy day, our thoughts spill through this field, finding hold, cracking open, and taking root.

Just as seeds in nature produce roots, stems, leaves, and blossoms our thoughts produce our work, our relationships, our health, and all of our experience. We are casting seeds with our thoughts, patterns, beliefs, and emotions. We are in fact creating our reality in every moment. We live and create through the law of cause and effect. We ultimately create what it is we are in agreement with.

During times when we are in alignment with the intelligence of our hearts we are moving in a parallel current and we are in agreement with life for our good. Yet, at other times, when we disconnect from this innate intelligence, life can feel like a wild course of bubbling eddies. It’s easy to fall into a self dialogue of “ain’t it awful”, and there may be plenty of people who will quickly agree with us. Suddenly life comes up to meet us with more things to complain about. We unconsciously agreed to this outcome. We can however make the choice to use the power of our agreement for good. There is tremendous power in knowing the Truth of who we are, and in times when we are struggling, a bit shaky, or need change we can use the power of agreement with another to get us through.

There are wonderful resources out there to help you find that “sweet spot”. For example, a licensed Spiritual Practitioner helps clients to find that “sweet spot” and get back in the alignment of what it is that they desire most, and most importantly in alignment with the Truth of who they are, their true nature.

Doing this kind of work is deep and profound at times and light and playful

Healthy Beginnings • June 2015

at others, just as life is both deep and light and playful. The work that you would do and experience using this kind of support or resource naturally follows your individual needs in all aspects of your life. The session is not psychology, psychiatry, cognitive behavioral therapy or counseling. It is guidance and support with the use of transformational tools to move the client from what they “want less of” in life to what they “want more of” in life. Some of the modalities used are affirmative prayer and awareness, guided meditations, and deep belief work to move the client from effect, what is showing up in their life, to cause, the creative belief behind the effect.

just as seeds in nature produce roots, stems, leaves, and blossoms our thoughts produce our work, our relationships, our health, and all of our experience.

The kinds of things that can occur are the release of old agreements, patterns, beliefs, and negative emotions that keep them stuck. Through the power of agreement for your own individual good you would learn how to move into the intelligence of your heart and experience expanded awareness, clarity, and wisdom.

R

enowned Ayurvedic Physician, Dr. Jayanath Abeywickrama, (affectionately known as Dr. Abey) is an extraordinary person and gifted healer - the kind that is rarely ever experienced. His depth of compassion, wisdom and love is felt by all those having the pleasure of being in his presence; this “energy” truly must be experienced in your lifetime.

Dr. Abey brings healing, good health and wellness filled with love, joy and harmony to his patients. To have the opportunity to attend any of his healing evenings, retreats or to experience a private session is truly life altering. He utilizes and teaches sacred mantra, meditation and mind power as powerful healing tools to assist in the healing process.

He brings together an extraordinary mastery of the science of life and life energies (Ayurveda), and the visionary gift of a great spiritual teacher. He has a profound knowledge of the western mind, the needs of modern people and time. Dr. Abey works with a new dimension of healing using mantra and universal connections to bring awareness to our mind, body and life.

Dr. Abey is also at the forefront of The Hela Bima Rice Project, bringing back ancient methods of farming and instilling the once-lost traditions and worthiness for all farmers by providing an opportunity for them to participate in harvesting this sacred rice.

The Hela Bima Rice Project supports the implementation of a toxic-free process for today's farmers, and is able to present this process to other countries so they too may gain prosperity while providing a healthy diet, gaining confidence and independence.

Dr. Abey’s method teaches with practical application, examples and experience giving farmers the tools with which they can gain success, prosperity and good health using their own mind powers without external refuge. He has proven that spiritual powers harvest a better crop and provide a pure harvest doubling productivity. This is a mission that is heart-warming to the farmers and the country as a whole.

Dr. Abey treats an international clientele from Europe and the U.S. Among his patients is the former Prime Minister of India, I.K. GUJRAL and the Health Minister of Sri Lanka. In addition to Singhalese, Pali and Sanskrit, Dr. Abeywickrama speaks English and German.

To embark on a journey with Dr. Abey is to change one’s life forever. A life filled with love, health, success and joy.

Dr. Abey’s Rankema World Summit continues to be a great success as it offers the

14

opportunity for people to embark on a retreat for development of self-awareness to discover joy, health and success.

The summit explores all aspects of mind, body and spirit to ultimately bring about a Samadhi State of Mind through meditation, inspiring people to reach their full potential.

Throughout the 4-day retreat, people have the unique opportunity to review their lives and gain clear vision. Retreat participants learn how to meditate to reach Samadhi state of mind, discover how to receive spiritual support and learn how to truly set goals that will fulfill your dreams.

The four day retreat also combines the opportunity to learn from Dr. Abey’s lifelong Ayurveda expertise about traditional Ayurvedic secrets for rejuvenation and restoration of youthfulness. The Ayurvedic approach strengthens your immune power, helping to prevent disease.

Participants in the retreat also experience Mind Power training exercises that lead to finding joy and wisdom.

Join us for this year’s Rankema World Summit – June 2629th in Reno-Tahoe! The summit is OPEN FOR ALL those interested. Appreciate Pre Registration at www.rankemaworldsummit.com. Organized by Hela Bima World, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit.

Restoring Testosterone: Life is Fun Again!

T

Written By Dr. William N. Clearfield, D.O.

estosterone is the main male sex hormone produced in the testicles and adrenal gland and secreted in the testes. With age, less and less testosterone is produced, resulting in hypogonadism. An estimated 20% of men over the age of 50 have abnormally low testosterone levels. 2

Andropause contributes to diabetes/metabolic syndrome, dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, heart disease, Frailty Syndrome, osteoporosis, and chronic inflammation.

Testosterone declines with age beginning in the early 30’s with levels naturally decreasing by 1% per year by age 40. Between age 25 and 75 men experience a 30% decrease in Total testosterone and a 50% decrease in free Testosterone.

Natural testosterone lowers total cholesterol and raises HDL. Synthetic testosterone does the opposite.

The restoration of testosterone to optimal levels results in increased sexual interest and performance, increased sense of well-being, increased muscle mass, strength, endurance, and exercise tolerance. Memory and cognition are restored, skin turgor improves, belly fat decreases, LDL (bad) cholesterol and high blood pressure are reduced, depression is lessened and heart attacks are much less frequent.

Signs and symptoms of Testosterone Deficiency include low libido, inability to maintain an erection, anxiety, depression, weight gain, decreased fitness level and effectiveness of workouts, low self esteem, thin drying hair, sagging cheeks, droopy eyelids, thin lips, muscle wasting, memory loss, joint pain, loss of drive, competitive edge, increased brain aging, cardiovascular aging, persistent fatigue, irritable, nervous and hesitant, increased fat in hips, abdomen, and breasts, and anemia.

This progressive decline of free testosterone results in “male menopause,” or “andropause.”

Natural sources of testosterone include ginseng, zinc, Vitamin D, nuts, garlic, and caffeine.

Laboratory studies needed prior to treatment include: CBC, Total/Free Testosterone, PSA, DHEA, DHT, SHBG, Estradiol, LH/ FSH, Lipids, Glucose, Insulin, HBA1C, and Prolactin.

Hormones do not exist in a vacuum and when considering treatment options we strive for a balance of all hormones including estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, insulin, cortisol, thyroid, Vitamin D, and testosterone. Adequate sleep is vital to one's well being as well as stress reduction, strength and cardiovascular training, and identifying toxin exposures and inflammation.

Testosterone replacement is achieved via gel, injection or pellet insertion. It is never given orally as it's metabolites are hepatotoxic and cause liver cancer. (Oakland Raider's great Lyle Alzado was the first known athlete to succumb to liver cancer due to oral testosterone ingestion.) Fortunately the other administrative forms are safe with a few precautions.

Testosterone gels are applied to the upper inner thigh he once or twice daily. Care needs to be taken to avoid bedtime and transference to significant others.

atients often present to our eye-care clinic with headaches. Although most are benign, in rare cases, they can be vision or life threatening. The following are a few examples of eye-related headaches that we have observed.

By far, the most common cause of eye related headaches, especially in young children, is untreated farsightedness which can lead to eye-turn and headaches. This is due to the fact that the eyes have to work harder than average to keep objects and printed words in focus. On average, adults over 40 years of age start to lose their focusing ability (accommodation) which will cause eyestrain and headaches when reading or working on the computer. Nearsightedness can also cause headaches. Most nearsighted people squint their eyes to clear the images of the objects far away. Squinting strains the muscles around the eyes

and forehead causing them to fatigue. All of these types of headaches can be alleviated with proper eyeglasses prescribed by an eye doctor.

In overweight women between ages of 20-40, an increase in pressure of the fluid around the brain (cerebrospinal fluid CSF), can cause headaches and vision problems. An increase in CSF pressure can lead to a swollen optic nerve which an eye doctor can see with a dilated eye exam. A spinal tap to measure the CSF pressure will confirm the diagnosis. The treatment for such conditions is oral medications such as diuretics and acetazolamide, which causes the brain to produce less cerebrospinal fluid. Sometimes surgical intervention is required to reduce the pressure.

June 2015 • Healthy Beginnings

In the geriatric population, headaches can sometimes be caused by temporal arteritis, an inflammation of the artery in the temple area. If undiagnosed and untreated, the inflammation restricts blood flow to the eye which can lead to loss of vision. A blood test and/or a temporal artery biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. The doctor may prescribe a steroid medication to treat the inflammation.

nerve will require an immediate referral to the emergency room. An MRI will confirm the diagnosis followed by surgery to remove the tumor. Although not age specific, we have had two patients, both young children, who presented with headaches featuring swollen optic nerves caused by brain tumors. Both were admitted to the children’s hospital and underwent operations the next day to save their lives.

Shingles is a painful blistering of the skin typically on the back and sides of the chest. This condition, which can cause headaches, can sometimes present on the forehead and around the eye. An oral antiviral medication such as Acyclovir is typically prescribed.

Of course, not all headaches are eye-related. Sinus infections, head exhaustion, and high blood pressure are just a few other causes of headaches. Seek professional help whenever you feel headaches.

A brain tumor has the potential to cause headaches. A brain tumor will increase the volume of the brain which will push the optic nerve forward, causing it to swell. Swelling of the optic

Lyme, THE GREAT IMPOSTER Written by Michael Gerber, MD, HMD

It was the insomnia manifestation that finally got my attention.

After treating some of my chronic insomniacs with every known bioidentical hormone, herb, nutrient, energetic work, musculoskeletal therapies and homeopathic remedy for sleep with minimal results, I started looking for Lyme disease by diagnosing on my EAV computer (Electroacupuncture by Vol, see my previous articles) and finding it.

I have had many chronic Lyme patients ask us for help with their debilitating pain syndromes, chronic migraine headaches or neuropathies (intractable pain in the hands or feet not related to chemotherapy) with excellent results. It can look like any illness.

Treatment Plan

Brain Lyme disease is associated with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. Look up “Under Our Skin” on YouTube. Chronic inflammations, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, heart problems or extreme fatigue without abnormal laboratory testing can be manifestations of Lyme disease as can depression, anxiety, addictions and intractable insomnia.

Many alternative medicine experts don’t recommend antibiotics at all and treat with herbs and systemic detoxification, such as removal of heavy metals, dental amalgams, which are 50 percent mercury, and outgas into the saliva and breath when eating hot foods and liquids and cause chronic inflammation and neurological damage. Everyone not eating a clean, organic, non-GMO diet is getting hundreds of pesticides, herbicides, plastics, hydrocarbons, PCBs and many other environmental toxins that inhibit our immune system when fighting off toxins and Lyme. Look up Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt’s Lyme protocols1 and Dr. Lee Cowden’s protocols2.

have known about Lyme disease for years and thought it was a rare occurrence with completely debilitating symptoms. The blood diagnosis is notoriously a false negative. The Lyme spirochete (corkscrew shaped bacteria) arises from deer ticks and it seems many other biting insects, as well as conjugally, from husband to wife, and transparently, from mother to child. This is a pretty dark picture, but I don’t think I am overboard with it.

There are many approaches to treat Lyme.

Many Lyme experts use huge doses of extremely expensive intravenous antibiotics for months and years. One of my patients with Lyme and Parkinson’s was prescribed a continuous intravenous antibiotic infusion for $16,000 a month. He later complained about the price and got the same therapy for $4,000 a month.

Our basic protocol involves an antibiotic. I don’t ordinarily advocate them, but Lyme is tough.

Usually we start with oral doxycycline if it tests well for a month with several antibiotic herbs from Peru, Samento (Cats claw), Coumanda and Burbur, a grass from the Andes that promotes drainage. Drainage is helpful for opening up the lymph, liver and kidneys when encountering die off or the Herksheimer reaction.

The Herksheimer brothers were doctors in the 1840s in Germany and Austria who treated syphilis, the scourge of millennia, which is also a spirochete and great imitator, with intravenous arsenic. It worked very well but the patients would all have a “Herksheimer reaction.” Patients would suffer a 106 or 107 degree temperature for three or four days and had racking pains, chills and hallucinations.

Lyme killing is not this bad, but it can make patients feel tired, spacey and depressed if the Lyme is killed too quickly. The Burbur takes away the detox reaction, usually in a few minutes.

Most of our moderately sick Lyme patients get through the treatment in about a month. Some patients need to change antibiotics in about a month if the Lyme becomes resistant to the antibiotic. Sometimes co-infections of Babesia, Bartonella or Ehrlichia need to be addressed. It is great to have EAV to see how patients respond and see what therapeutic agents they need.

When asked for her thoughts regarding her daughter, the dreamer said Sarah had been promiscuous as a teenager and young adult.

Gut:

t is ironic that our nearly $3 trillion medical system actually uses some of the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment available in the world today to detect and measure energies and frequencies in the body.

Just kno small i dysbios combin sugar, a chance

You have probably heard of most of these. They include; MRI’s, PET scans, Cat scans, EEG’s, EKG’s, ultrasound devices and more.

Our medical system diagnoses the body energetically with modern physics (Quantum Field Theory) and then treats it with drugs and surgery (matter based Newtonian Mechanics) like a biological machine. What is wrong with this picture?

Quantum field theory has completely rewritten the book of science at the most fundamental level. However, modern biology and medicine continue to reference from a moldy, outdated book based on Newtonian science.

If you think “reality” is the world you can see, hear, taste, smell and touch, it is time to re-evaluate. If you think your body is solid and governed by fixed laws, think again. That world just does not exist. It is an illusion.

The first thing to understand is that fields are the essential elements in nature, not particles. The first fields to be studied were the electric and magnetic fields. These were unified into electromagnetic fields by James Maxwell.

Quantum field theory essentially explains that we are not a huge number of particles held together by an energy field. Our bodies are actually formed primarily of energy and information fields.

Perhaps you are thinking this is a bunch of new-age talk with no real science to back it up.

Well, think again.

The human bio-energetic holographic body is measurable up to 15 feet off the body surface. This has been scientifically proven.

So the shift is here. It is happening right now.

Newtonian physics and the primacy of matter is a thing of the past. The human body is primarily energy and information. There are ways to measure it and find distortions (imbalances) in it and there are tools to help restore the balance.

Read my future articles to learn more about the details.

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.

ore than 25 different “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books have been published, including titles such as the parent’s soul, the golfer’s soul, the teenage soul and the country soul. These books present inspiring or humorous stories involving a certain theme, and this volume, the “Chiropractic Soul,” follows the same pattern.

It includes heartwarming stories of people who have chosen chiropractic for a holistic approach to healing, pain relief and wellness.

Many of these stories sound miraculous, and if you were the one being healed, it would certainly seem miraculous. But once you understand the underlying philosophy of chiropractic, the stories aren’t really miraculous at all; they’re just the result of the body’s innate healing power being released to do its work.

The chiropractic profession has been misunderstood for some time, as it represents a different viewpoint on health than the current norm, which is to go with drugs and/or surgery. However, there are millions of people seeking a more natural approach to health and wellness.

These stories are proof that our bodies have the innate intelligence to heal themselves if the spinal column and nerve system is in a balanced state. The interrelatedness of the spine and nervous system was obvious as early as 1895. In fact, every cell in your body is affected by your nervous system.

The spine running through the seven cervical vertebrae in your neck control the health of your head, neck and arms. Symptoms of an imbalance or pinching of those nerves can cause headaches, TMJ, dizziness, anxiety, vertigo, soreness and tension in the neck, shoulders and arms, sinus problems, asthma, mid-back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Compression of the nerve roots coming from the 12 vertebrae in the mid-back spine area affect the hands, wrists, fingers, thyroid, heart, lungs, gallbladder, liver, stomach, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, kidneys, ureters, small intestine and upper/lower back.

Who knew?

Possible symptoms if these nerves are pinched are asthma, rib pain, digestive issues, mid-back pain, shoulder problems, colic in babies, stomach problems and high blood pressure.

What if you don’t need those drugs you’ve been taking for some of these problems? What if you could get a regular chiropractic adjustment and have the same relief without the side effects?

The lumbar (lower-back) area of the spine affects the large intestines, appendix, abdomen, upper leg, sex organs, uterus, bladder, knees, prostate gland, lower back, sciatic nerve, lower legs, ankles and feet. Symptoms of problems with this area of the spine include digestive issues, impotence, fertility issues, bladder problems, sciatic pain, menstrual problems, low back pain, trouble walking, colitis and IBS.

When you can–finally–get your hands on some water kefir grains, the amount may not be sufficient to make a large batch of water or coconut kefir right away. The good news is, that they grow quickly. When the grains were stored cold, you first need to re-activate them before they can start growing. Once you have about ¼ cup of grains, you can make one quart of delicious kefir.

Berry Protein Smoothie Submitted by Shannon Vigil, Holistic Health Coach

A

nytime is a good time for a smoothie in my book. But Summer time is an especially good time for an ice-cold, protein-packed smoothie that gets your metabolism going. This Berry Protein Smoothie is chock-full of plant-based protein, healthy fats, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Just the thing to boost your energy levels so you can work hard and play more this Summer! Oh, did I mention it’s delicious?

ARE YOU

BERRY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE RECIPE (vegan + gluten free + dairy free)

TIRED

Time: 5 minutes

OF NOT SEEING RESULTS?

Serves 1-2 people INGREDIENTS: Use organic whenever possible. Add to the blender in the order listed: • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk • ¼ avocado • 1 tbsp chia seeds • 1 tbsp hemp seeds • 1 tbsp almond butter • ½ banana (frozen if you got it) • ½ cup frozen blueberries • ½ cup frozen raspberries • 1 dash cinnamon • 1 cup purified water DIRECTIONS: Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend on high for 45-60 seconds. Enjoy!

NOTEWORTHY PANTRY STAPLES: It’s worth mentioning that the ingredients in this smoothie are things I ALWAYS have around because they are useful in so many ways.

• CHIA SEEDS and HEMP SEEDS are excellent for sprinkling on salads or yogurt to get those omega-3’s and easy-todigest protein.

• ALMOND BUTTER. I use as a snack with an apple amongst other things. Be sure to buy a brand where almonds are the only ingredient.

• ALMOND MILK. I try to avoid dairy as it promotes inflammation in the body, so unsweetened almond milk is my substitute. You could use coconut milk or rice milk in your smoothies as well.

• AVOCADOS are so so good for you; use them in salads, dips, dressings, soup toppings…anyway you possibly can.

• FROZEN BERRIES. It’s almost impossible for frozen berries to go bad so stock up!

• CINNAMON. Most people have some cinnamon around and should use it more often. It’s an excellent way to make things taste sweet and helps balance blood sugar.

• BANANAS. Don’t throw them away if they are too ripe for your liking. Peel it and place it in the freezer in a ziploc.

This will make your smoothies taste like a milkshake.

Sunstone Written by Allison Prater

unstone is a yang energy stone, just as moonstone is yin.

It is associated with Ra, the Egyptian sun god. Sunstone is a member of the Feldspar family, and so named for its resemblance to the celestial body, with its warm shades of gold, orange, reds and browns. Inclusions of Goethite or Hematite refract light between the different crystal layers and produce an iridescent effect as the stone is viewed from various angles.

Sunstone may be clear and transparent, or opaque.

otherwort, or Leonurus cardiac, is an herbaceous perennial plant and member of the mint family. Some common names of this herb include Throw-wort, Lion’s Ear and Lion’s Tail. Originally from Central Asia and southeastern Europe, it is now found the world over, as its popularity for use as an herbal remedy spread.

Motherwort thrives on roadsides, fields, even in disturbed areas like dumps and vacant lots. The plant prefers well-drained soil and partial shade, and thrives in climate zones four through eight. Motherwort has a square, hairy stem and flowers of a light pink/violet hue appear at the top part of the plant. It can grow to a little over three feet in height. The leaves are the part of the plant used in medicinal preparations.
