letterfrom theeditor
Jennifer Walla
jwalla@naturespathways.us
Im the ultimate skeptic.
I have a hard time with people who say theyre psychic or in touch with the spiritual world. Intuitives give me pause. Feng shui, you say? Sounds delicious... So I question everything. If youre the real deal, prove it. If I think youre successful, then maybe Ill come around to your point of view. If not, at least Im entertained for a bit. Needless to say as editor of a healthy living magazine I meet a lot of proponents of these types of beliefs. And despite being skeptical, I always try to have an open mind. In fact, I never dismiss anything outright; I just need a bit of convincing before I get on board with whatever belief or healing modality you ascribe to. So imagine my surprise when I met Jesse Martinez of Mystical Earth Gallery (MEG), Appleton. Despite being a healer and psychic, he feels the same way I do about these things. His skeptical attitude, rather than give me pause, just made me all the more intrigued. During our conversation he offered to give me a psychic reading. I havent taken him up on his offer as of this writing, but perhaps I will. (Curiosity killed the cat, and all that) Read more about what he and the folks at MEG have to offer starting on page 50. One thing I know for sure is that were in the last weeks of summer before school begins. Talk to any parent and youll soon learn the anticipation he or she feels in the days leading up to the first day of school is akin to that of waking up on Christmas morning. (Of course, talk to any school-age child
and their attitude is usually the opposite.) Of course I love my kids. And I love the care-free days of summer just as much as they do. But around this time theyre ready for something more. Schedules and structured learning beckon. They do well with those things, as do I. The takeaway? Savor the remaining days of summer. Take each day as it comes without thinking too far ahead. Back to the grind will be here soon enough. Peace,
Jen

Dealing with genital hyperhidrosis

By Guy Kitchell Genital sweating is not something most people are comfortable talking about. But the reality is that millions of men and women are affected by it. The good news is that not only do we talk about genital sweating we also treat it. Aside from the embarrassment and the discomfort, genital sweating can lead to chafing, rashes, odor and even infection. Excessive genital sweating is actually a skin disease called genital hyperhidrosis,
(groin sweating)
and it is hereditary. Chances are that someone else in your family has it. Many things can exacerbate genital hyperhidrosis: Exercise Anxiety Menopause Stress Hormone imbalance Heat and humidity The bodys nervous system sends strong messages to some peoples genitals when they are nervous or excited, which can produce a lot of moisture. Sometimes, the nervous system becomes confused and keeps sending the message to produce moisture long after it should. Many people find this moisture (and the odor) embarrassing. This can make it difficult to interact with other people outside of the home. Not only is it embarrassing, but it causes discomfort, blisters, peeling skin and unfortunately odor. Treating your groin with a regular deodorant or antiperspirant can help a little bit in minimizing the odor and wetness, but these products are made for the underarms, which have much thicker skin. It takes a specialized product to gently and effectively treat the groin and protect it from skin rashes and over-drying. Luckily, there are new ways to treat this problem. You can purchase an aluminumfree antiperspirant serum for the genitals to stop the sweating, or you can purchase underwear sweat pads.
Guy Kitchell is with Klima Health Solutions, 6621-B Century Ave., Middleton. Klima specializes in natural products and clinical strength products for many ailments like hyperhidrosis, body odor, acne, keratosis, eczema and more. For more information, call toll free 877.295.5462, or visit www.klimadeodorant.com. These soft, absorbent and washable pads prevent excess genital and buttock perspiration from soaking through your clothes.

Discover the talents of therapy dogs
any people think of therapy dogs as guide dogs leading the blind, or dogs sitting with seniors at an assisted living facility. While therapy dogs are responsible for these jobs, they do so much more including acting as a trusted companion for someone diagnosed with cancer. Although many therapy dogs are specially trained in their roles, just about any well-mannered dog can serve in a therapeutic capacity. People may be surprised at the many assistance roles dogs can play. Help children read: Dogs are not judgmental and offer no criticism, which makes them prime helpers for children who

need help learning to read or who have stage fright. Children can read stories to dogs that listen quietly and build up their confidence levels. Some schools and libraries even institute programs where dogs are invited as the audience to student readers. seizure alert: Some dogs are trained to alert epileptics and those with seizure disorders to an upcoming episode, although this method of detection is not always foolproof. In general, seizure dogs provide companionship and security to a person during and after an episode. Cancer therapy: Getting diagnosed with cancer can be a stressful event. Going through chemotherapy and radiation can take its toll on the body. Cancer patients often need all of the love and affection they can get or sometimes just a quiet companion. In a program like Pets for Pals, therapy dogs sit with cancer patients, often sensing what ill people need. Dogs have the innate ability to love unconditionally. Having a dog around gives patients a different topic of conversation other than their health and treatment. Petting a dog has been known to lower blood pressure and reduce stress as well. Helping hands: Individuals who are handicapped may rely on dogs to do tasks around the house, from turning on lights to grabbing remote controls. Some dogs help companions
move around a space by offering stability and a handhold. security: Dogs have long been used as security guards. But even if a dog isnt a trained guard, he or she can alert if something is amiss in the house or if someone is at the door or outside of the home. Individuals who live alone can benefit from the companionship and level of security that dogs provide. Many therapy and service dogs start their lives as stray dogs or shelter dogs. Some training facilities actually seek out calm, well-mannered shelter dogs and give them a new lease on life as a persons helper or companion.

Hypnosis for a beautiful birthing experience

By Trish Poole Dr. Julie Wyss says her first pregnancy was not what she expected. She and her husband, Dr. Skip Wyss, sought out natural healthcare and planned as much as possible. As educated pediatric chiropractors, they thought they were in good position to experience a positive pregnancy, and then labor and delivery. But the pregnancy didnt progress as her obstetrician wanted so he started interventions to speed it along. There were no relaxing thoughts or calming words from our medical staff, just unneeded stress, fear, tension and worry, Julie says. I wanted the complete opposite for our second pregnancy. She chose two wonderful midwifes and the Mongan Method of HypnoBirthing for the delivery. I led them through the HypnoBirthing classes, helping the couple through hypnosis to let go of the past trauma and fears (fear-tension-pain syndrome) that Julie had from her past delivery experience and life in general.
I am proud to say that with Trishs help, and the help of hypnosis, we were able to have the non-medicated birth experience we wanted, Julie says. A healthy baby boy was born (15 hours later) into a calm, loving environment. Breckin was adjusted just minutes

Hypnosis was able to give me the birth experience that my husband, baby and i wanted; more relaxing, and a calm and pain-free delivery.
after being born into his fathers hands, and has never been healthier. Hypnosis was able to give me the birth experience that my husband, baby and I wanted; more relaxing, and a calm and pain-free delivery. In our office we stress how important the birth experience is because we see newborns, infants and toddlers all day and can tell from the childs spine, health and behavior what kind of a birth the Mom went through. A womans body is created with birth in mind. Yet women fear it and doctors medicate it. Natural, calm births dont make for good drama so we rarely hear about those but they do happen and they are possible as the Wyss can attest. HypnoBirthing focuses on using the state of hypnosis (kind of like the state between awake and asleep) to create positive expectation; especially a calm, relaxed sensation during birthing, as well as the ability to transfer numbness or, what we call in hypnosis, glove anesthesia, to any part of her body to numb out any discomfort. There are four meetings with Mom and her birthing companion to practice, train and eliminate any fear blocks to birthing naturally. Focus is given to eliminate the fear-tension-pain syndrome, to teach the birthing companion how to help the mother go deeper into relaxation during birthing, to creating glove anesthesia that she can use anywhere on her body before, during and after birthing and to plan the birth as well as transform any post-birth concerns to positive expectations. Heres another womans story about how hypnosis for natural childbirth has helped her: HypnoBirthing has impacted my life in many magical ways. The biggest transformation took place with my fears about giving birth. I had a lot of fears from my first pregnancy. Through HypnoBirthing, working with Trish, the exercises, meditating and the daily affirmations, I was able to heal my fears and believe in myself, says Christa Rose. The confidence I gained allowed me to relax and enjoy being pregnant. I was no
longer getting caught in the fears of labor that took me away from the moments of life itself. When my water broke, I smiled and enjoyed every second of it. I even giggled to myself about how I should tell my boyfriend its time. It felt fun and exciting, and I feel thats very important. I also felt spiritually closer to God and the angels. Another beautiful thing of HypnoBirthing was the depth my boyfriend and I connected on through HypnoBirthing practice and classes. It brought out a voice in him which had such a tender pureness that held my most innocent vulnerability and trust. Healing and bonding started to
grow between the two of us. I dont believe this would have taken place anywhere else but HypnoBirthing. It is so healthy for the baby, which gave me peace and strength. My birth plan helped me greatly. I didnt have to worry about a thing, knowing all the nurses were on the same page through reading my plan. I used the affirmation cd while I was in labor and found it very helpful. The explicit beauty of my experience with Trish and HypnoBirthing has been long lasting. I still hold the confidence as I did 2 years ago when I birthed my son. That is such a gift! I recommend HypnoBirthing to everyone who wants a calm birth.

By Nancy Freier recently attended the funeral services of one of my favorite uncles. I knew it would be a big day emotionally speaking and I guess, like in most families, there are rifts and ridges between the family members that need healing. As I drove to the church, I said a prayer asking to know what to say and to whom to say it. We celebrated his life and amid the emotional windy and rainy day, said our goodbyes as we laid him to rest. I looked around at all who were gathered there and also felt the spirit of those who had previously passed. Grandma and Grandpas graves were just down the way. We filled their empty urn with fresh daisies from my uncles casket spray. Another Uncle had lost his wife some 10 years earlier and he looked thin and frail. I could still see the grief in his eyes. My dad, the eldest brother, died three years ago. My cousin (whose father was being laid to rest) was gone too soon in 1999 of breast cancer. As we were gathered under the old oak tree (how perfect, I thought), led in prayer by a minister, my eyes welled up and I couldnt stop the tears. Where had the time gone? Here was a man whose life was well spent, his widow deeply mourning her loss. Their son, my cousin, I didnt recognize. I hadnt seen him in years. He came over to me and we cried together. He told me he forgot how pretty I was. Sweet. Another cousin I hadnt seen in years sat with me as we ate dinner after the burial. I learned some things about him I hadnt

known before and we connected on a very cool level. I came away feeling I had gained a new friend, but was somewhat sad it took so long to unfold. Where does life go? What had stopped us from connecting earlier? Does life get in the way while were living our lives? My emotional body was all over the place. I understood clearly why people hate going to funerals. Raw emotions run rampant that must be dealt with, and I came away with far more than mascara-smeared eyes and wet tissues in my pocket. I had experienced spurts of growth and gained much wisdom that was just as free-flowing as the tears. Another Uncle whom I had always avoided because of our different religious views was there from Michigan. I found myself automatically walking right up to him to share our condolences. We embraced, and whatever ill feeling that was there before dissolved in that moment. I pretty much stayed around him the rest of the day, praying, even singing with him as we visited an Aunt with Down Syndrome in her nursing home. Yes, I said, singing! And there was another Uncle who I had always felt didnt like me and the inner voice inside my head was opening my heart to see him differently. I sat at the same table with him during the funeral luncheon, and somehow found things to say that engaged his interest and sparked some happy childhood memories he had of his brothers while growing up. All who were sitting at the table reminisced about the fun things they did earlier in life. I felt the spirit of my dad and my grandparents present, who seemed to breathe life into this moment of sharing memories. I saw my uncle look over to me several times and tell me stories about my dad, something I have never experienced
before with him. A miracle had happened here this day. A funeral, yes, but it was much, much more. It was a surge of healing that came as a tidal wave in my heart. It was palpable. We all felt it. I believe I buried my old hurts then and there, along with my uncle. Driving home I cried a little bit more, but this time it was for the wasted time spent in unforgiveness. The rain stopped and the sun peeked through as I made a new commitment to waste no more time mourning any loss, but to step life up a notch, and get on with the business of living it to the very fullest. This sounds much more appealing than holding grievances and grudges that eat away at the soul like cancer. And, when the time comes for my funeral, may the people gathered there agree that I lived a beautifully awesome life. What more can one hope for?

Jane visits Inner Sun Yoga Studio

I spent the last month enjoying my time one or two times a week going to Inner Sun Yoga Studio and I must say that even though I live in Appleton and it is in Oshkosh, it was worth the drive! Deb Sommerhalder opened Inner Sun Yoga Studio in 2004 with a mission to offer classes with highly-trained and experienced teachers from different traditions. You will be inspired to take time to slow down so you can reconnect to your spiritual heart, or inner sun, and achieve your personal goals. Deb works hard to connect with the community and others involved in the natural health industry to be able to offer special workshops to go along with yoga classes. My favorite class was Yoga in the Gardens in Oshkosh. There is no better way to connect with earth and your spiritual self than to be doing yoga outside smelling beautiful flowers at the Paine Art Center. Another great example is the self-guided class with drummer Preach Freedom from Rusted Root. Although it is great to do the special workshops offered, I really

Deb worked hard to maintain the beautiful brick architecture, while at the same time adding a cork floor and zoned heat to maintain eco-friendliness. You truly get the feel of calm and serenity while you are doing your yoga practice. The greatest part is that I am certainly not an expert yogi and Deb and her other instructors understand that everyone is at different levels. During my Vinyasa (heated, more active) yoga classes she would come around and adjust you as needed. You also have to try the chanting yoga classes as the energy with all the students combined is unbelievable. You just have to experience it! From restorative to breathing, to classes with more movement, there is truly a class for everyone. Deb also offers private classes for those looking for more individual support. Private energy work is also offered. Whatever level you are, or if youre someone looking for something new to try to re-connect with yourself and wellbeing, Inner Sun Yoga is the place to do it.

A Healthy Duo for Northeast Wisconsin
By Dan Stearns The first thing you notice at the Terry Naturally health food store in Green Bay is the light, open, welcoming space. Then it hits you: this place carries a lot of stuff! Youll find nutritional supplements, gluten-free bread, natural shampoos and beauty supplies, goats milk and cheese, and an amazing selection of fresh olive oils that are probably the most delicious form of antioxidants around. And just adjoining the store, you can stop by for a cup of rich coffee and one of the tastiest meals in town at the organic, gluten-free restaurant, Caff Naturally. But as impressive as the inside space of the building is, the friendly, knowledgeable staff is truly the heart and soul of both businesses. Owned and operated by Terry and Debra Lemerond, the Terry Naturally store and Caff Naturally are fast becoming a combined

destination for health-conscious customers in the Green Bay and Fox Valley area and beyond. We see customers who literally drive hours to be here, because they love the store and Caff, and because they just cant find this wide range of products and personalized service close to home, mentions Debra Lemerond, manager and co-owner. It can be tough to walk into a store and begin talking to someone you dont know about a health concern. And thats why having such a helpful crew is so important. We believe in building sincere relationships with our customers, Lemerond continues. When you remember what is going on in someones life, what their health concerns are, and genuinely care about their well-being, it makes a big difference. Aside from the service and selection, there are frequent presentations on all manner of health topics by speakers including natural health pioneer and co-owner, Terry Lemerond. Plus, every Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 7 pm, there is a farmers market that showcases locally-produced foods, features live music, and includes extended hours for the Caff.

While the Caffe is certified gluten-free (theres no cross-contamination from other grains) theyre main emphasis is that the food taste delicious. (I can attest to the bison burger and sweet potato fries, and plan to go back for more.) In fact, if you didnt know the food was gluten-free, it would simply rate as extremely tasty. Terry Naturally/Caff Naturally is located at 2625 Development Drive, just off the south GV exit from highway 172. The store is open from 9 am until 7 pm, Monday through Friday, and from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday. Caff hours are from 8 am to 3 pm, Monday through Saturday with extended hours on Wednesdays only until 7 pm. Both locations are closed on Sunday.

Hair loss in women
Hair loss is a common problem for women, which can be distressing. Hereditary hair loss is a medical condition that affects about 30 million American women. in quality-of-life studies, women experiencing hair loss reported a higher incidence of behavior that interfered with their daily lives including a significant loss of selfesteem, being introverted, feeling less attractive and tense feelings in public places. the average person loses 50 to 80 hairs per day.
By Mark P. Brettingen hy do people put so much energy and time into what is on top of their head? Why do they spend so much time focusing on what is no longer on top of their head? Think about why hair causes so much emotional turmoil in our minds. It makes us feel great or, in contrast, it makes us upset. Its just hair, right? Today lets delve into this at a deeper level. How we perceive ourselves and how we feel about how others perceive us, is fueled by a mere glance in a mirror. We look at our hair, or our facial features, with hopes of feeling good about that reflection. By
genetic syndrome or hormone-related disorder. the pattern of hair thinning (localized or diffused) can determine the reason for hair loss.
Hair loss in men

Hereditary hair loss is a medical condition that affects about 50 million American men. Hair loss can be inherited from either the mothers or fathers side of the family. A man has a 50 percent chance of experiencing hair loss by his 50th birthday. this hereditary condition, clinically termed androgenetic alopecia, is characterized by a receding hairline as well as a loss of hair on top of the scalp. treatment options that include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride have been shown to help in the regrowth of hair or slow hair loss. Hair transplantation is another treatment option that offers a permanent form of hair replacement using surgery to move some existing scalp hair to bald or thinning parts.

human nature we are all striving to look good for our age and indeed hair is a huge part of that component. Lets imagine that after having a nice, luxurious head of hair you one day wake up and your hair has left you. The mirror is now reflecting a different image, often accompanied by a feeling of frustration, anxiety and lack of social confidence. Hair gives the feeling of being attractive, youthful and healthy because hair is truly a picture frame that enhances our facial features. Yes, to most people, hair is a big deal. Enhancing your own growing hair (or adding more hair for those who need it) is possible. You can feel great every time you look in a mirror!

Youth Leader Muzatko a Goodwill Outstanding Achiever

By Karen Kramer A youth leader from its GLBT Partnership program in Green Bay has been named the Outstanding Achiever for Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin. Eighteen-year-old Abbey Muzatko, who is a recent Preble High School graduate, was chosen for this honor because of her work in helping to establish a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) youth community in Green Bay through Goodwills Harmony Caf. The GLBT Partnership is an ongoing leadership development and support group for young people ages 14-18 who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT), as well as allies, regardless of sexual identity, orientation or gender expression. Muzatko is a member of the steering team that began working in October 2010 to form a GLBT Partnership in Green Bay. She continues to serve as a youth leader for that group, presenting programs on everything from gay animals, anti-bullying campaigns, to Riot Grrrl music and culture. She has also participated in Pride Alive at the booth for the GLBT Partnership and in community service projects through her schools Gay Straight Alliance. Abbey is a truly remarkable teen humble, intelligent, progressive and extremely motivated, said Deanna Tappy,
program coordinator for Harmony CafGreen Bay. She is one of our outstanding youth leaders. Muzatko is also a talented artist. This fall, she will be attending The Art Institute of Chicago where she will pursue her passion for painting one that she shared with the community during her art show, titled To Be Translucent, at Green Bays Harmony

Caf earlier this year. Her art presented the female figure as a matrix, commenting on perceptions of gender, sexuality and familial connections. Muzatkos leadership in the GLBT community and her artistic endeavors recently earned her a national 4-year, full scholarship from the Point Foundation. With this scholarship, she is required to create a community service project. She already has plans to start a nonprofit in Chicago to provide a safe space that would serve as an art studio, classroom and gallery for GLBT youth. Any 18-year-old with this much under her belt is impressive enough on paper, but to really understand why Abbey deserves being named Goodwills Outstanding Achiever, youd have to meet her face to face, Tappy said. Her intellect, commitment and attitude are impressive. She has read the work of Albert Camus and spoken about her motivation and moral responsibility to her peers and the GLBT community. Muzatko said her experiences with Goodwill and Harmony Cafs GLBT Partnership have helped her become more of a leader, and a better leader. She credits Tappy for
pushing her to succeed and supporting her. All of us at Harmony Caf and Goodwill are very proud of Abbey and her accomplishments, Tappy said. She has had a positive impact on the GLBT youth community in Green Bay, and will surely continue this work through her efforts in Chicago. Each month, Goodwill NCW selects a program participant or volunteer like Muzatko for its Outstanding Achiever recognition. Honorees come from one of Goodwills 22 store communities, its Menasha campus or its Ralph B. Shiner Center in Appleton. Keith Wilk, COO of Programs & Services at Goodwill, noted this award provides the means to recognize the strides that individuals have made, in part, because of their involvement with programs through Goodwill. Each honoree receives a certificate of achievement and Goodwill merchandise.
For more information, contact Tappy at 920.216.1777 or dtappy_gw@ gwicc.org; or Wilk at 920.968.6233 or kwilk_gw@gwicc.org.

Expert answers to your health and wellness questions
Calories, menopausal weight gain and magazine fitness

weight accumulates in these areas is because of the effect that estrogen has on the body. However, as you reach your menopausal years, your estrogen levels drop. As a result, the ratio of estrogen to testosterone drops as well, and, low and behold, you end up storing that extra weight where men tend to gain their weight specifically the mid-section. Im sure youre not all that thrilled to hear this, but its just a fact of life. Naturally, most women want to know what they can do about it, but aside from preventing weight gain in the first place (which can be difficult), there isnt much you can do. Just be diligent with your diet and exercise as you approach menopause, and try to accept the age-related changes that all of our bodies go through. Question: Can I get your thoughts on all of the nutrition and fitness information that you find in the popular magazines? What do you think of Fitness, Runners World, Mens Health and the like? answer: Thats a great question, especially since many people get all of their health and wellness information from these sources, and others. Ive written for several different magazines, and Im on the advisory board for one publication, and I can say that the content is probably better than its ever been. Years ago, most of the articles were full of myths, inaccuracies and marketing hype. And dont get me wrong, you can still find this in certain articles in some of the most popular magazines. That said, many publications now hire editors that have solid credentials in nutrition,
By Karmen Nenahlo Question: I have a simple question for you how many calories does one need to eat to lose weight? answer: That does sound like a simple question, and I could give you a simple answer, but it might not be all that accurate. It would be easy to say that the average female should take in about 1,200-1,500 calories to lose weight, and maybe 1,8002,100 for males, but that doesnt mean that these numbers will necessarily work for you! The ability to lose weight depends on a number of variables, including your resting metabolic rate, your activity level (both general daily activities and exercise), and even the calories you burn while digesting food. These all factor into the expenditure side of the energy balance equation, which then helps to determine the intake side as well. If you want the best and most accurate calorie estimate, you need to take a personal inventory. Talk to a trainer about getting your resting metabolic rate tested, and then have him/ her determine how many calories you expend each day. This will go a long way to establishing a recommended calorie level for weight loss. Good luck! Question: Im smack dab in the middle of menopause and, as expected, I seem to be gaining weight. However, the weight seems to be finding its way to my mid-section, which is odd for me personally. Any logical explanation? answer: You might not want to hear this, but yes, there is a logical explanation. As youre probably aware, many women seem prone to gaining weight in their hip and butt areas. Part of the reason that

fitness, or disease prevention and management, and they have researchers on staff as well. Plus, many editors want to see the sources that their writers use before they approve an article. Historically, the focus was always on selling magazines, and that hasnt really changed, but the magazines themselves have come to realize that wellresearched, accurate content does just that. If youre ever confused by something you read in a magazine, just ask a local expert (trainer, dietitian, or health professional) to give you their honest feedback.

The power of color
By Teresa Van Lanen always find it interesting to figure out what draws us to certain colors and how we respond to certain colors over others. Color is studied not only in the artistic world, but also in the world of science, medicine and spiritual practice. So is it more than what strikes our fancy and can be used to balance ourselves on various planes? I will explore this idea in this article and expand on more ideas in next months article as well. Color is a big part of all of our everyday lives, even for the non-sighted or color challenged. Research has looked at color in more

scientific detail to explain how this can be. I have read a few books on the topic including Healing with Color by Ted Andrews and Color Medicine by Charles Klotsche. These books reveal the healing properties of color through harmonic vibrational frequency. It is believed that the color frequencies can help with organ health along with balancing emotions. Treatments may include special healing properties through lights and color filters but also through the color in our clothing and our environment. This healing can be enhanced with other vibrations such as through musical tones. Each of the colors has it is own frequency from the violets on the low end of the wave length/frequency scale, to the reds at the higher end (ultraviolet to infrareds). Reading about this I reflected on an example of how color frequency affected some clients I worked with. Years ago I worked at a center where our whole team participated in a workshop to learn more about the use of color for emotional balance. The presenters believed that the color pink was a calming color. As a result of what we learned, the team decided to implement the painting of our calming room to pink. Much to our dissatisfaction, when the paint dried the color was a hot pink. And when clients used this room to calm, it gave the
reverse reaction. Considering the vibrational frequency of the hot pink color being so close to the highest end of the scale, I can see why the clients were anything but calm! Other related articles I have read have compared color frequencies with energetic chakra balancing/health. There are many references available to discuss this in more detail; one that I have referred to here is from Sonia Choquette called True Balance. You can wear or bring these colors into your life more often if you feel you are imbalanced or lacking in a certain chakra. Or, on the flip side, if your chakra is oversaturated, then you may wish to use less of this color on your person and/or environment. An example of this from my own life was during a turbulent relationship a few years back. I had many red accents and articles of clothing that I wore; basically shades of red surrounded me. As you can see on the following page, the color red is seen in our root chakra which deals with physical safety, security and grounding. Unbeknownst to me I was using this color to help balance this part of my life inwardly as it was unbalanced outwardly. As the relationship ended, I began to systematically replace the red in my environment with cooler tones. Reflecting back on this, although I deliberately chose colors at the time that appealed to me visually, I unconsciously had been

Achieve a naturallooking facial lift

tissue allowing the energy to be delivered precisely to where it will be most productive. Ultherapy triggers the bodys natural response mechanism, which is to rejuvenate tired collagen and supplement it with fresh, new collagen. Ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in medical imaging for over 50 years. In addition, the procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and tens of thousands of treatments have been performed worldwide without any significant adverse events. Full face and neck Ultherapy treatment takes 60 minutes and a partial face treatment can take as little as 30 minutes. After an Ultherapy treatment, improvements can begin immediately with some contraction and firming. Just as with building new muscle, however, the building of new collagen to lift and tone skin occurs gradually over the two to three months that follow treatment. Its a wonderful option for someone looking for a non-surgical way to counter the effects of gravity on the skin. For patients, there is some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, which is temporary and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. A board-certified plastic surgeon will take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible with a pain management program. Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young collagen after a years time following the procedure. Yearly touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process. The majority of patients only need one treatment, while those with a fair amount of laxity may need more than one treatment. Annual touch-up treatments can help slow down the rate of skin aging. There is a broad range of men and women who can benefit from Ultherapy, but typically those in their 30s and older are candidates. While this is not a replacement for surgery, there are many people who want some lifting, in order to look more refreshed and toned but are not ready for surgery. And then there are younger people who want to stay ahead of the game as well as those looking to prolong the effect of surgery.
Dr. David Janssen is a board-certified plastic surgeon with Fox Valley Plastic Surgery, based in Oshkosh. The practice, co-owned by Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek, offers facial aesthetics, breast surgery, body contouring, advanced laser services, vein care, medical weight loss and MediSpa services.

Customizing lawn care, organically
By Lisa Reissmann our lawn is different than your neighbors, right? Why treat the lawn the same as everyone else on the block? A reputable lawn care company will always start out by taking sample cores of the lawn they are about to treat, and testing those samples to see what the soil needs to grow grass, and not all weeds. This test shows many things, and with the correct amendments added to the soil, you can get amazing results on the lawn! Most companies do not do this. Basically, whats ever on the back of the guys truck is whats going on your lawn. Sure, this saves them money, but does nothing to amend your soil. This is just putting a Band-Aid over the lawn, and when the treatments stop, the lawn becomes all weeds and bare spots. Some companies will do a soil test, but they charge for it, as well as any amendments the lawn needs separately to the treatment price. I dont get that either. I like to know what Im up against before I start a job. Customizing a lawn organically is difficult. It takes patience, both on the part of the lawn care provider as well as the customer. When you add amendments, you create a lot of growth. Some of that growth can be weeds. A true customized approach to lawn care is not only mixing fertilizers and amendments, but adding a high-quality grass seed as well. The thicker you can get a lawn, the more you choke out the weeds naturally. While this process does take time,
You simply cannot get a healthy lawn with using chemicals. Chemical lawn care is extremely dangerous to your health and that of your family and pets.
it is worth it in the end. Correcting the soil and thickening the turf makes your lawn healthy. You simply cannot get a healthy lawn with using chemicals. Chemical lawn care is extremely dangerous to your health and that of your family and pets. The organic transition does take patience. The results are proven, and last longer. The process becomes less and less expensive over time, because once you correct the soil, it is a matter of easy maintenance. Those chemical companies want to come out more and more, sometimes as much as seven times a year, just to fertilize! Do the math on that. Thats paying a bill for lawn care almost every three weeks. That is unnecessary! Call me and see what hundreds of people in the Fox Valley have already figured out: that going green is the only way to go!

Are you oxygen deprived?

By Angela Saunders Are you fatigued? Stressed? Eating fast food more than you should? Are your thoughts cloudy and you feel run down? Nervous? Do you have a headache? Are you having trouble remembering things? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are most likely oxygen deprived. It happens to us all. You are not alone.
Why are we so deprived of oxygen when its everywhere?
There are many reasons we have trouble getting enough oxygen in our system. Among them is pollution which robs the air we breathe of oxygen. Second, did you know that food contains oxygen? Some fruits and vegetables are up to 50 percent oxygen

stress depletes oxygen because when we are stressed out, oxygen is required to produce the hormones and adrenaline that kick in.
while less quality foods contain less than 15 percent oxygen. When the body assimilates low-oxygen foods, it has to use extra oxygen to convert them into energy. This means that the oxygen is not able to be used for things like blood flow, brain function and the immune system while youre digesting your favorite junk food. Oh, well. At least we know why we lack energy afterwards. Third, stress depletes oxygen because when we are stressed out, oxygen is required to produce the hormones and adrenaline that kick in. And finally, infection will of course deplete the oxygen reserve and make it harder for you to combat bacteria. These are a few of the reasons we do not or cannot get enough oxygen.
gently forces more oxygen to be absorbed by your body to make up for the unfortunate lack of it. Some people wait until they have a health crisis to try it, but if you keep your body refreshed with oxygen on a regular basis, you can hopefully avoid it having to get that far. At the very least, you can relieve that headache, improve your bad memory, feel calmer and fight off a cold. Its comforting to have options when it comes to your health. We can breathe easy about that...

SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE AND THERAPEUTIC BODYWORK
By Dr. William Twohig have been an active dentist for 35 years. One of the most frustrating problems dentists face is preventing or stopping decay. I have tried everything that has come along. Preaching brushing and flossing helped many people, while alienating more. The national brand toothpastes and mouth rinses should surely have stopped decay by now. Fluoride, which is now the standard for care, should have eliminated decay. Until now I have always had a portion of my clients who have recurring decay regardless of what we have tried. First we must look at the science behind decay. Certain bacteria in our mouths live on the refined carbohydrates such as sugar. Their by-products produce an acidic environment. This environment pulls the calcium molecules from your teeth resulting in decalcification and breakdown of the dental enamel. Thus decay.

Within six months, the harmful bacteria are totally eliminated from your mouth.
Six years ago, I was introduced to mints, candies, gums and fluoride-free toothpaste that claimed to help eliminate tooth decay. To make a long story short, they worked! These products contain 100 percent xylitol, which is a natural product. It is found in birch trees and grasses. It is as sweet as sugar and has a low glycemic index which makes it safe for diabetics. When the decay-causing bacteria absorb the xylitol they cannot metabolize it and then die off without reproducing. Within six months, the harmful bacteria are totally eliminated from your mouth. Studies from the University of Michigan and University of Southern California have shown it to be effective. In Finland where xylitol has been used for years, 80 percent of high school graduates have no decay. In the U.S. the National Center for Health Statistics reports by age 17, 80 percent have had decay.
Strive for five
Children and adults need 6-8 grams of xylitol per day. It is best if broken up into 5 doses per day. Brush w/xylitol toothpaste 2x = 3-4 grams; a piece of gum or mint after every meal 3x = 3 grams, a piece of taffy, a sucker = 2 grams, chocolate, or granules (1 tsp. in a water bottle, and sipped throughout the day = 4 grams). The xylitol that you are using will also neutralize the acids in your
mouth to provide a pH that encourages beneficial bacteria to survive. Xylitol comes in many forms: gum, mints, chocolates, taffy, lollipops, candies and toothpaste. They are delicious. Shouldnt every dental office have a display area which looks like a candy store? Visit these leading Web sites to learn about xylitols benefits and where to purchase products: www.emeraldforestxylitol.com (A great source for U.S. xylitol made from birch trees) www.zellies.com (Dr. Ellie Phillips wrote the book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye about Xylitols benefits) www.drjohns.com (Dr. John has a large variety of chocolates and candies) www.xlear.com (Makers of Spry products including baby gels and dry-mouth products) Check with your dentist or local natural health food stores and pharmacies. When purchasing products look for products which clearly show how many grams per serving and that they are 100 percent xylitol. Look for xylitol as the first ingredient and there should be no other sweeteners listed.

The allure of lapis lazuli

By Jane Hamilton Close your eyes. Focus your imagination backwards in time; take your mind back centuries to ancient Egypt. Visualize the grandeur in which the rulers and royalty lived daily at the palace. You will see her there. Cleopatra. Her beauty and story is synonymous with ancient Egypt. Picture her as she prepares herself to receive guests in her court. As her servants assist her, they use this mineral pounded into powder to accent her eyes a vibrant blue; once her garments have adorned her body, they add exquisite pieces of jewelry designed by artisans featuring this gemstone; and then when presented in court many items, such as the sacred scarab, they decorate her palace with items carved from this gemstone. This mineral, lapis lazuli, helped create the vision and awe that was

(In order, thats vibrant blue, white and fools gold.) Dont be fooled by sodalite. Sodalite is very similar in appearance to lapis lazuli, but unlike lapis
lazuli, sodalite does not contain the veins of gold running through the specimen. With the ancient references made to lapis, it is no wonder that it is considered to help one entering into the unknown mysteries of the sacred. It will aid one in understanding the ancient texts and esoteric ideas contained within. As you gaze at lapis, you 44 may recognize the stars shining

This will aid one in the search to become attuned to the creative source of the universe. It will help one to understand all that there is. Awareness at many levels will be opened to one with this mineral. No surprise, lapis will help the conscious attune to the intuitive and psychic abilities that may lay dormant.

Kitchen composting
A great starting point to a greener lifestyle
By Sarah Everson very year green holidays such as Earth Day, Arbor Day and International Compost Awareness Week are celebrated by millions of concerned citizens. The purpose of these ecology-awareness days is to remind us to take care of mother earth, our home. The myriad of recommendations for implementing a greener lifestyle can be really intimidating. Take it one step at a time. Challenge yourself to make one small green modification a year. A relatively easy first step is a home landfill diversion project. Kitchen composting is a logical starting point. You will simply need to separate browns (e.g., leaves, wood chips, paper and cardboard) and greens (e.g., grass clippings and food scraps including egg shells, banana peels and vegetable scraps) from your regular trash. You will then regularly combine greens and browns in your outdoor composting system. This system can be a pile, a homemade bin or a pre-fabricated plastic composting bin. Locate the compost pile or bin somewhere close to your house for convenience. A properly maintained compost pile has no foul odor. Separate all the items listed above from your regular trash, and add them to your pile each week. A variety of odor-free countertop containers are available for collecting greens as they are produced in food preparation. The key
46
to successful composting is following this simple recipe: 3 parts browns, 1 part greens, 40-60 percent water and air. You will need to periodically aerate or turn your pile and add water every so often. It takes about six months to a year for the compost to finish. At that point you will have created a 100 percent organic, safe and nutrient-rich compost to enrich your lawn and garden soil. Autumn is the perfect time to apply compost. Apply it in your garden, mulch around your trees and spread it on your lawn. The compost will impregnate the soil over the winter months, naturally preparing the soil for the following growing season. The most amazing thing about kitchen composting is seeing the amount of waste a single person or family can divert from the landfill. To objectively measure your success, weigh your compostable material before you process it. Then extrapolate that figure out to weeks, months and years
to determine how much waste you will organically recycle rather than destine to the dump over a life time. The United States Composting Council states that each household produces 650 pounds of compostable material a year. You might be shocked once you start to keep track of
your own household waste. Landfill diversion through composting is not just limited to private households. Many grocery stores are doing their part by composting vegetable and produce waste (e.g., scraps, trimmings and overripe food). Rick & Vics Piggy Wiggly in Fond du Lac just celebrated their one-year anniversary of participation in a local landfill diversion program. In one short year they were able to divert 34,000 pounds (that is 17 tons!) of material from landfills. Buried in a landfill, that organic waste would have just putrefied. Instead, the organic waste shrunk to a third of the size and was converted into a clean, useful product with minimal effort and input of energy. For more tips on backyard composting visit www.recyclingconnections.org/ and www.compostingcouncil.org/.

Brown bagging lunch a way for your child to excel

By Angela Yingling, M. Ed. As children start heading back to school, one of the main items often overlooked is your childs lunch; not the shiny new lunchbox, but what is inside it. A childs food intake is dependent on your childs physical activity, but the most important part of food intake is making sure that your child has enough food from all the different food groups. Feeding your children nutritious and balanced meals and snacks will help prepare them for the day and give them a helping hand in excelling in what they are accomplishing that day. This can be from learning to crawl, learning a new concept in school, practicing a new instrument or engaging in sports. Every day your child learns something new and starting them out with the food that their body needs gives them an advantage in excelling. One way to do this is having your child brown bag it to school. It is cheaper, healthier, and more eco-friendly for the environment. Here are some tips for making lunches the highlight of the day: 1. Buy a reusable lunch box and use non-disposable utensils and containers. Make sure they are BPA free! 2. On weekends, take time to plan the lunch menu for the week. Get the children involved and let them help with the shopping. 3. Set 10 minutes aside the night before and have your children get involved in making their lunches. 4. Use a variety of foods such as different types of squash, apples, melons, crackers, breads, etc. Even if they do not like some of

the foods now, keep offering and eventually they might like it. 5. Use what is in season and help save on your grocery costs. Also use leftovers, especially if they liked them, to save on money and make sure no food is wasted. 6. Pack a little extra food in the box, children love to share and swap food with each other. Lunch is not only a time to eat but also a time for children to learn skills on interacting and sharing. 7. Dress up your food; make your food a work of art. Use cookie cutters to make different sandwiches. Cut a sandwich up into a puzzle and have your child put it back together. Make pizza with faces or scenes of a favorite place to be. 8. Have different country days or weeks each month. Pack food that is native to the country of the month. You can tape a picture and some facts about that country in their box. Not only is your child learning new things, learning about other countries, but also becoming aware of differences in cultures, but sensitive at the same time. 9. Pack notes or small trinkets to let them know that you are thinking about them. School can be a tough and challenging time for many children but by making sure that they receive the proper nutrition can make the day go much smoother.

Bridging
Mystical Earth Gallery offers By Jennifer Walla the best of both worlds
Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, including the human body, he explains. I use an energy-management system to enable individuals to release blockages that may interfere with optimum vibrations of the cellular structures. This allows them to obtain greater balance in body, mind and spirit. Another aspect of his healing work involves psychic readings. In fact, its how he and his wife, Jane Hamilton, met about 10 years ago. I have always been interested and intrigued by the metaphysical, Hamilton says. Jesse did a reading for me and it was very accurate.
&
esse Martinez has always felt a connection to the spiritual realm. Beginning at the age of 3, he recalls having visions. As a young boy, he would listen to his grandmothers stories of the ancient ones. Eventually she would pass down the stories of her people, the Apache and Yak tribes, to her grandson. But for many years, Martinez denied this important aspect of his life. Making a living took precedence over his spiritual calling. But today, everything has come full circle. As the manager of the healing arts center at Mystical Earth Gallery (MEG) in Appleton, he uses his innate talents and the skills he has mastered to assist clients on the path to their own spiritual healing and growth.
Mystical earth Gallery staff include (from left): Mary Jo ebben, gallery consultant; liz Klos, apprentice healer; Jesse Martinez, assistant gallery manager; Jane Hamilton, gallery owner; Janet Creapo, massage therapist; and Amie Aikins, gallery consultant.
The body of work housed at MEG not only has a connection to the deepest part of the couples souls, but is executed with great technical skill.
A few months later, when my suffering from debilitating headaches reached a point that I could no longer deal with, I decided to reach out to him because I knew he was a healer. I had tried traditional medicine and acupuncture to get some relief from the pain, and nothing had worked. I didnt have anything to lose, so I thought Id give him a chance. Needless to say, Hamiltons headaches disappeared. Her belief in him was cemented even further after a car accident a few years later. It was really bad, but he took away all the swelling and pain, which was such a relief, she recalls. I had been classified at a 9 percent disability rating and told I would have to have surgery. Jesse healed me and I did not have to have surgery and today I am just fine. The obvious connection between the two of them spurred the idea to work together to offer something they hadnt seen before. Hamilton, who sold crystals, minerals and jewelry on the weekends when she accompanied Martinez to metaphysical fairs and to do his healing work, thought Martinez and his talents and skills would be the perfect complement. After going on the road together for a number of years, they decided to find a more permanent way to share what they had to offer. In 2009, the duo opened Mystical Earth Gallery in Oshkosh. With the tagline Bridging Science & Spirit, in addition to the healing arts and showcasing a larger collection of minerals and crystals, MEG features the work of artists they truly believe in. We seek to connect with those artists whose work inspires us at many levels, Hamilton says. Evoking emotion, finding a piece that speaks to us, being awe-inspired by the work those things drive us to bring a collection of work together that embodies the greatness of the universe and ourselves.
That being said, the body of work housed at Mystical Earth Gallery not only has a connection to the deepest part of the couples souls, but is executed with great technical skill. Not everything is art, and not everyone can be called an artist, Hamilton says. Jesse uses this analogy: he can dribble a basketball, but hell never play in the NBA. The same can be said for art. International artists Bren Sibilisky, Alena Zena and Tom Bisesti have been represented at MEG since the inception. Sibilskys fountain sculpture, Aphrodite, is on display at MEG and available for purchase. It was rated 5 stars in an international show competing with top artists from around the world. Recently signed into MEG representation is Ram Rojas, whose work will include his spiritual paintings and prints. Besides having their work available for sale at MEG, each artist is available for commissioned work through representation at MEG. With business thriving, in May 2011, the couple moved the business to 10 College Ave., Suite 112B, Appleton. They are able to house more minerals and artwork, but the more than 2,000 square feet of space a;sp allows for the addition of other healing practitioners. Janet Creapo works there as a massage therapist. After spending several years in California, she decided to return to the area. Her hands always find the right place on your body, Hamilton says. If you have an ache, shell find it and work it out. Shes a combination of natural talent, skill and intuition. Thats what makes for good healing. In addition to helping clients, Martinez also works with both advanced and introductory healing students. Practitioners of various healing arts will complement their existing practices with his help by pursuing the advanced healing of Zenith, a healing technique he favors, and APEX Sacred Geometric Healing, a modality of table healing work he created. Eventually hell train apprentices in that modality. For students who want to learn spiritual energy work, Jesse will develop a program suited specifically to address both individual spiritual growth and the fundamentals of energy work, Hamilton says. Potential applicants are encouraged to apply.

Could it be Alzheimers?
By Desiree Janelle Its normal every once in a while to forget a phone number, the day of the week or what you just came in to a room to do. Memory changes, confusion and disorientation associated with Alzheimers, however, grow progressively worse over time. The earlystage warning signs may develop gradually and go unnoticed, or, in many cases, theyre initially mistaken for the normal aging process. Alzheimers is the sixth-leading cause of death in the country and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. Based on mortality data from 2000-2008, death rates have declined for most major diseases while deaths from Alzheimers disease have risen 66 percent during the same period. In the United States, 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimers disease. Someone is diagnosed with Alzheimers disease every 69 seconds. It is estimated by 2050 someone will be diagnosed every 33 seconds. Unless a cure or significant treatment is found, its predicted that as many as 16 million will have the disease by 2050. To better help ourselves and/or our loved ones, we all can benefit from knowing what the most common early-stage warning signs of Alzheimers are:
with Alzheimers disease may forget things more often and not remember them later, especially things that have happened more recently.
2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks
Busy people can be so distracted from time to time that they may leave the carrots on the stove and only remember to serve them at the end of a meal. A person with Alzheimers disease may have trouble with tasks that have been familiar to them all their lives, such as preparing a meal.
3. Problems with language
Everyone has trouble finding the right word sometimes, but a person with Alzheimers disease may forget simple words or substitute words, making sentences difficult to understand.
1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day function
4. Disorientation of time and place
Its normal to occasionally forget appointments, colleagues names or a friends phone number and remember them later. A person
Its normal to forget the day of the week or your destination for a moment. But a person with Alzheimers disease can become lost on their own street, not knowing how they got there or how to get home.

a person with alzheimers disease may put things in inappropriate places: an iron in the freezer...
5. Poor or decreased judgment
8. Changes in mood and behavior
Everyone becomes sad or moody from time to time. Someone with Alzheimers disease can exhibit varied mood swings from calm to tears to anger for no apparent reason.
People may sometimes put off going to a doctor if they have an infection, but eventually seek medical attention. A person with Alzheimers disease may have decreased judgment; for example, not recognizing a medical problem that needs attention or wearing heavy clothing on a hot day.
Peoples personalities can change somewhat with age. But a person with Alzheimers disease can become confused, suspicious or withdrawn. Changes may also include apathy, fearfulness or acting out of character.
9. Changes in personality
10. Loss of initiative
6. Problems with abstract thinking
From time to time, people may have difficulty with tasks that require abstract thinking, such as balancing a checkbook. Someone with Alzheimers disease may have significant difficulties with such tasks. For example not recognizing what the numbers in the checkbook mean.
Its normal to tire of housework, business activities or social obligations, but most people regain their initiative. A person with Alzheimers disease may become very passive, and require cues and prompting to become involved.

Did you know?
A gluten-free diet may help celiac disease
eliac disease is a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine, preventing it from absorbing parts of food. When a person has Celiac disease, his or her immune system attacks the villi, or areas along the lining of the small intestine, whenever foods that contain gluten are eaten. The damage that results from such an attack makes it hard for the body to properly absorb nutrients, causing many people to become malnourished regardless of how much food is consumed. Found in foods such as bread and pasta, gluten is a protein that can be avoided if people adopt a gluten-free diet. Such a diet means avoiding foods,
beverages and even medications that contain wheat, barley, rye, and possibly even oats. While a gluten-free diet wont cure Celiac disease, it can cause the symptoms to disappear and help the villi heal. Celiac disease is often mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome, so if such a condition has been diagnosed but nothing seems to be working, men and women should request they be tested for Celiac disease.

Polarity Therapy:
By Jane Hestnes
Holistic health management and maintenance
Polarity Therapy is:

a collaborative effort between the client and practitioner a blend of energy-based science and complementary medicine a comprehensive personal health program The core concept of Polarity Therapy views the flow and balance of energy in the human body as the foundation of good health.
Yin and Yang in Oriental therapies. To move, energy must have an unobstructed pathway. Because these energetic frequencies are palpable Polarity bodywork (as a type of massage) is performed in conjunction with the electromagnetic patterns of the human energy field.
As a science how does it work?
To exist, energy must move. Energy moves out from a central source then returns to the source, known as the theory of Repulsion and Attraction or
As a complementary medicine how does it work?
ahhh...
Stress fades, tensions melt, muscles release... the perfect fit for mind and body to unwind.
massage!
Sciatica Sinus Congestion Stress / Fatigue Tension Headaches TMJ Discomfort
When energy systems function in a free-flowing manner without significant obstruction then good health is the result. If a chronic imbalance is present then pain or dis-ease (disease) becomes the result. Because the human energy field is affected by a number of factors (touch, sound, movement, food, emotions, etc.), and though Polarity bodywork can re-establish balance of human energy fields (just as massage therapy can reduce physical tension), the results are short-lived if the imbalancing factors are not addressed. In short, If nothing changes, nothing changes.
A personal health program can be beneficial

A personal health program includes recommendations that are proven effective. However, to be effective they must be put to use. Thus the goal is not to re-invent the client but to provide options that the client can realistically agree upon and willingly incorporate. Such may include: energy-based nutrition, energy-based exercise, activity, yoga stretches, etc. and breathing techniques. For some, these concepts provide an all-in-one plan which keeps health simple. Others find Polarity Therapy to be a stable steppingstone in the right-for-them direction.
How many sessions are necessary to be effective?
www.atensiondeficitmassage.com
56
A pre-session phone consultation (typically at no cost) will help the client and practitioner: define the clients objectives determine a realistic timeframe for treatment decide if this is a viable option
Discount rates are often available should the desired objectives require three or more sessions. A Fix me approach offers no long-term resolve because the true essence of health or healing requires personal responsibility. The more equipped and engaged the client becomes the less necessary the practitioner becomes. Polarity Therapy is an option to consider for personal health management (reactive) or maintenance (proactive). Its also appropriate for pain management and stress management. For clients dealing with a diagnosed condition (or are on the verge of one) Polarity Therapy offers options to help control symptoms vs. being controlled by them. For clients mindful of the need for a solid and healthy foundation that will sustain them through the constant changes of life, Polarity Therapy offers practices to maintain life-long balance with flexibility.

Helping your home be more energy efficient...
...saving you money
The founder and development of Polarity Therapy

in the late 1890s, randolph Stone (born rudolph Bautsch) immigrated to the United States from Austria with his sister and widowed father. they settled in turtle lake, where he learned english by reading the Bible, worked as a farm hand, and traveled the U.S. extensively. Stone earned a scholarship to Concordia College in St. Paul, Minn., where his college education began in religious studies as a lutheran minister. By a higher calling or an inherent intrigue, his focus shifted to the field of medicine. in 1914 he passed the State Board exams and pursued degrees as a d.o., d.C. and N.d., and achieved additional certifications of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Stone established his medical practice in Chicago with an unprecedented holistic approach for over 50 years. He remained a life-long student of medicine and the healing arts, working with doctors and practitioners of distinctly differing healthcare practices worldwide. one component dr. Stone consistently found present in his studies abroad, which were absent from medical practices in the U.S., was that of energy work. By the mid-1950s, Stone had solidified these energy-work concepts with empirical evidence pitted against scientific theories. the results proved strong and he diligently worked to present this research and findings to his colleagues and the medical community at large, but to no avail. Pharmaceutical and surgical developments were growing exponentially which overshadowed the concept of one-on-one personal healthcare programs. to date Stones work, as with many CAM options, is gaining precedence from under the shadows of western medicine. We now stand in the balance between them and can gain from the best of both worlds, old and new.

Getting in fighting shape
By Dan Davies ince Ive gotten the news about my next movie Slade and the fact that Im portraying him as a protector of the innocent, Ive had a number of people ask me two major questions in the last couple of months: 1) Dan, for your next role what type of fight training/modalities will you be using? 2) Is it true that almost everything about you is fake? Your hair, your teeth, your eye color, your skin color, your muscles, your personality, etc? To answer the first question, I will be incorporating modern-day boxing skills, even though most fighters of the 1880s used the Queensberry Boxing skills/rules. Ive got a boxing background. I took lessons from my dad and fought from about 11-14 years of age. Im also a
fifth generation boxer. As a matter of fact, my great-great uncle, who was originally from Ireland, was the Canadian Light Heavy Boxing Champion and at one time was ranked No. 2 in the world.

I will also be using the Wahukeza Napaslipa fighting style of the Oglala Sioux. Its major proponent and teacher is a gentleman named Tokala. He uses the fighting technique and weapons that have been used and passed on for generations. This fighting technique uses quick powerful movements using all of the core muscles. Generally it consists of sweeping leg kicks and a lower fighting stance. This lower starting point adds to the power of the movements. Imagine what great power you could generate from a semi-squatting position using your bodys most powerful muscles (thighs and buttocks). The major weapon involved is called the Wahukeza. It has been called a throwing arrow, a short lance and a spear. In truth, it is none of those things. The Wahukeza is a medium-range slicing weapon. The Wahukeza packed a razor sharp double sided 7-inch obsidian crystal blade. An obsidian blade does not lose its edge by going dull in battle. The Wahukeza was a favorite weapon of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Plenty Wolf and Red Cloud. My training regimen will be more fight specific with heavy work on my core muscles, speed, agility and balance. I think proficiency in those skills and strengths make up almost 98 percent of all great boxers, wrestlers, mixed martial artists and martial artists. To answer question No. 2, yes, all but one of those things on me are fake.
Maybe you dont just have to live with pain.
It feels wonderful to be able to do things I havent done for a long time without the pain I was so used to. Cheryl, De Pere, WI

Cell phones: make them safer
By Christine Riemer ell phones make my head hurt, laments a Fox Valley resident. She believes what she hears in the news about cell phone dangers. She adds, I cant get away from WiFi any more. After a week bathed in WiFi in a condo or hotel on our vacation, my whole body screams, Get me out of here! The whole radiation thing scares me.

WHO links cell phones & cancer
On May 31, 2011, a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), reviewed cell phone safety studies and announced that radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer. The team listed cell phone radiation in the same category with lead, DDT, gasoline, dry cleaning chemicals and burning coal. What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain, says Dr. Keith Black, Chairman of Neurology at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The Telegraph in the UK reported on May 14, 2011, that a Council of Europe Committee examined evidence that wireless technologies have potentially harmful effects on humans and concluded that immediate action was required to protect children. The committee said it wanted to avoid repeating the same mistakes made when public health officials were slow to recognize the dangers of asbestos, tobacco smoking and gasoline.

Cell phones are here to stay, and perhaps rightly so. The question is not how to stop people from using this ubiquitous device but rather how to make it safer. The first step always is to admit there is a problem; hence, the industry and government have to acknowledge the health risks inherent with the present technology. This way we can all find the proper solutions that we may more enjoy the benefits of its use without sacrificing our health and wellbeing.

Back to school backpack safety

By Dr. James Benzschawel nother summer vacation winding down and soon the kids will be back in school. A common area overlooked, but yet may be responsible for 65 percent of adolescents visits to doctors are for backpack-related injuries1. This is a problem that is preventable and also needs to be addressed. The American Academy of Orthopedics stated that backpack injury is a significant problem for children2. There is legislation that has passed in California and New Jersey that now require school boards to manage school pack weight. Illinois is in the process of passing this type of legislation. Some interesting facts regarding backpacks: Waist belts may

cause forced excessive distribution across a growing pelvis leading to possible pelvic abnormalities3. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 7,277 emergency room visits each year result from injuries related to book bags. The CPSC also reports that backpack-related injuries are up 330 percent since 19964 and 55 percent of students carry more than the recommended guidelines of 10-15 percent of their body weight5. When shopping for a backpack there are certain things to look for. The first thing is wide, padded shoulder straps. Narrow straps can dig into the shoulders which can cause pain and restrict circulation. Two shoulder straps instead of one are important due to one strap not being able to distribute the weight evenly. A padded back part of the back pack can protect against sharp edges on objects inside the pack and increase comfort. A waist strap may help to distribute the weight of a heavy load more evenly, but it is very important not to have the strap too tight as it can affect the pelvis. To prevent injury when using a backpack, follow these tips. Always use both
shoulder straps. Just using one shoulder can strain muscles and can cause curvature of the spine. Tighten the straps so that the pack is close to the body. The straps should hold the pack two inches above the waist. Next, it is important to never have the backpack weigh more than 10 to 15 percent of the students total body weight (remember, a recent study showed 55 percent of students carry more than this amount). Make sure to organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. Stop often at school lockers if possible to avoid having to carry all of the books needed for the day. Bend using both knees when bending down to pick up the backpack. Also do not bend at the waist when wearing or lifting a heavy backpack. Last, ask your chiropractor for back strengthening exercises to build up the muscles used to carry a backpack. Make sure the backpack is the right size for your child. The proper size of a backpack is equal to 75 percent of your childs back, meaning the space between the waist and the shoulder blades. The following
should be helpful: 50 pound child = backpack should weigh no more than 7.5 pounds 80 pound child = backpack should weigh no more than 12 pounds 100 pound child = backpack should weigh no more than 15 pounds 130 pound child = backpack should weigh no more than 19.5 pounds 150 pound child = backpack should weigh no more than 22.5 pounds. Follow these tips and have a safe, healthy school year.

Why I study Cuong Nhu martial arts

By Parnee Paras Its not always easy to study Cuong Nhu. It definitely requires a continual spiral of growth and renewal as I am reminded to be gentle with myself as I learn new techniques and teach all I know. I never questioned my reasoning to study Cuong Nhu until I reached the rank of Two Black Stripes. Before that, I did Cuong Nhu because I had fun. I met great people in our style and they became a part of my circle of friends. Not until I was preparing for my Black Belt test did I wonder why I wanted to keep doing Cuong Nhu. One of the hardest moments for me in my training
was as a Two Black Stripes. I wondered whether I was good enough to have a Black Belt. Besides my motivation to share my knowledge with people willing to learn, as a Two Black Stripes rank, I had to rebuild my confidence that I struggled with in the
beginning of my training as a White Belt. For the first four months that I studied Cuong Nhu, I didnt like it because I was the only one that didnt seem to know what I was doing. I kept doing it because I didnt want to quit just because I was

uncomfortable with being a new student. At the time, I was the only White Belt and doing many things outside my comfort zone. Everyone else was either a Green Belt, Brown Belt or Black Belt and they all seemed very comfortable doing all these impressive techniques. Little did I know back then, that I was going through what every beginner struggles with: Comparing myself to others Being critical of my progress, learning new techniques Feeling uncomfortable doing things outside my comfort zone Despite these challenges, Ive gained many gifts from Cuong Nhu that help me outside of the dojo, (Japanese word which means formal place to study Martial Arts): Self-confidence in my abilities Leadership skills Increased coordination and stamina New friends Awareness Self-protection skills
Concentration skills How to avoid and resolve conflict Increased ability to accept challenges that help me grow Each student endures challenges along the path of learning and with continued perseverance and patience reaps many rewards with each return to their true path.

fter 34 years of business in the Fox Valley, The Wire Whisk is still known in the area as the store for all cooks. Patricia Mulloy, the stores original owner, along with daughter Mary Miller, seeks to straddle the old and the new, the traditional and the reinvented, to provide the right tools for the domestic as well as the professional chef. Despite its humble beginnings in a quaintly-sized storefront in Appletons downtown, The Wire Whisk has maintained its longevity in an era of corporate retail development by moving westward toward the Fox River Mall. Now, after almost 20 years in the Fox
River Mall, The Wire Whisk enjoys its fifth year in its expanded location in a strip just outside the mall. Long-time patrons and new customers alike enjoy the lighthearted yet informed atmosphere at The Whisk, as it is lovingly dubbed by staff members. Equal parts hardware store and boutique, with a whiff of the toy store, The Wire Whisk appeals to seasoned gourmands and selfproclaimed non-cooks alike with such tools as Vacu Vins genius pineapple corer/slicer, Kuhn Rikons newly popular watermelon knife, and the Chopstir made famous by Fox 11s Amy Hanten for breaking up browned beef like no potato masher ever has.

In addition to finding the newest and brightest of the specialty kitchen world, one can find such timeless tools as food mills, pepper grinders, canning tools, and yes, whisks in a variety of materials and shapes. Overheard on a regular basis are such exclamations as, My grandmother had one of these, or Where did ours go? History plays a role in the kitchen, and The Wire Whisk fills the gap by putting in the hands of their customers the tools they know, as well as their re-made dishwasher-safe and non-stick counterparts. Not to be overlooked is The Whisks selection of its more sophisticated items. Many acquainted with the commercial world tilt a nod of recognition to the Viking appliances and the Vita Mix blender. Not only do they offer a wide range of Wsthof German cutlery, but also European cookware and bakeware, including the French-manufactured Emile Henry stoneware and Le Creusets enameled cast iron cookware. Not all are imports, however. Mulloy realizes the importance of featuring U.S.-made goods, and feels that this sets her store apart from other kitchen stores. Recognizable among other U.S.-made items is Regal Wares American Kitchen line of stainless steel cookware, manufactured in Kewaskum. Offering locally made products hinges also on products that promote green living as well, such as reusable ceramic coffee to go cups, BPA-free hydration bottles, and home soda makers such as Sodastream and ISIs Twist and Sparkle. By offering a selection of products that are built to
withstand years in the kitchen, Mulloy engages environmentalism to history, as items are inherited through the generations rather than replaced. The Wire Whisk is located at 767 N. Casaloma Drive right between PETCO and The Guitar Center in the strip across from the mall. Store hours are Monday through Friday 10 am to 8 pm, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. Visit us at www.wirewhisk.com or call us with any specific request. Whether you are looking for a specific tool as a gift, a healthier eating lifestyle, or simply to boggle the family with its mysterious use, the staff at The Wire Whisk will help you find it.

Dealing with arthritis naturally

By Terry Lemerond rthritis is an unfortunate fact of life for many people in the United States. More than 27 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, with symptoms becoming noticeable as early as the age of 40! Additionally, about 1.3 million people are affected by rheumatoid arthritis.1 Aside from staying as sensibly active as possible and keeping a healthy weight, there are very beneficial nutrients that can reduce pain and help preserve the joints. First, lets look at relieving pain and damaging inflammation. Curcumin the beneficial compound from turmeric should be

part of your plan. However, not any curcumin will do. Thats because while curcumin has been long recognized as a valuable, and viable, natural medicine, it just doesnt absorb through the digestive tract very easily. This has prompted researchers to use huge dosages up to 12 grams in some cases just to see a result. Because of this, you should select a curcumin extract that gets around that problem naturally. Many manufacturers standardize their extracts to 95 percent curcumin, but unfortunately, that alone isnt very effective. Additionally, avoid the extracts that blend curcumin with piperine it interacts poorly with most medications and can have very negative effects on the liver. Instead, look for a micronized curcumin extract which is re-blended with the essential oil of turmeric for up to 10 times the absorption and blood retention of standard 95 percent curcumin extracts.2 Boswellia is another traditional herb that reduces inflammation and relieves pain. But make sure you find an extract that screens out
beta-boswellic acid, which can potentially promote, rather than block, inflammatory compounds. It should also include a high level of acetyl-11-keto-boswellic acid (AKBA) to be effective. Look for an extract with at least 15 percent AKBA and not more than 5 percent beta-boswellic acids. As inflammation stoppers and pain relievers, curcumin and boswellia reduce the activity of the two most significant pain pathways in the body COX-2 and 5-LOX.3,4 These nutrients have been used in cutting-edge studies specifically relating to joint health; one regarding highlyabsorbable curcumin extract and high-AKBA boswellias effect on knee arthritis, and another focusing the effect of the curcumin extract alone on rheumatoid arthritis.5,6 Additionally, in the clinical trial using both the high-absorption curcumin and high-AKBA boswellia, participants experienced an increase in their ability to walk for a distance (over a half a mile), and improved range of motion in their knees.5 Aside from these botanical ingredients, vitamin D3 already known for bone health support helps support the cushioning cartilage between joints.7 Research shows the connection between arthritis, joint health, and vitamin D deficiency. In fact, in one study, vitamin D deficiency was noted in 69 percent of patients with inflammatory joint diseases or connective tissue diseases, 77 percent with soft tissue rheumatism, 62 percent with osteoarthritis, 75 percent 71

Ease pain of the past with Rolfing SI

By Victoria L. Huss The human body will likely protest with aches and pains after a few hours seated in economy class on an airplane. A handful (or lifetime) of stress-filled years living with a difficult spouse or working with a challenging boss just may elicit a similar bodily response although, unfortunately, the effects may be longer lasting. A body subjected to continual tension and constriction will likely wear its past in the form of poor posture. The trials, tribulations and patterns of the past begin to complicate the present because they have become embedded and locked in the connective tissues present throughout the entire body. Kinetic drag caused by tension, armoring and constriction, is akin to mechanical clutter that interferes with proper functioning and movement. Rounded, slumped shoulders and a forward head posture may help a person brace against criticism or protect the heartbut these postural distortions also interfere with proper breathing and movement of the arms and hips while walking. Movement that is hampered in one part of the body will often affect functioning of the entire system. Rolfing Structural Integration (SI) is a dynamic and holistic system of bodywork and neuromuscular reeducation that addresses postural distortions by systematically relieving tension and constriction within connective tissue. Through a process of 10 sessions, Rolfing SI unclutters the body and clears kinetic drag. This exquisite detailing can also increase flexibility and mobility, alleviate chronic pain, revitalize energy and deepen bodily awareness. A person dedicated to transformation and overcoming a difficult past may find that Rolfing SI is the catalyst that can unite mind, body and spirit fully in the present.

with back pain, and 71 percent with osteoporosis.8 Of course, for years the recommended level of vitamin D intake was set far too low, and many people especially older individuals are deficient in vitamin D as a result. For example, another recent study examined serum vitamin D levels in postmenopausal women. As it turned out, 53 percent of the women were deficient in vitamin D, and only 17 percent had sufficient blood levels of the nutrient. Joint pain and joint swelling were reported in these groups, (74 percent and 34 percent, respectively). Those with the lowest levels of vitamin D typically showed a higher average joint pain score, too.9 One other ingredient to include in your regimen is fructoborate, a special carbohydrate/boron complex found naturally in fruits and vegetables. It has been clinically shown to reduce joint pain in 79 percent of volunteers suffering from mild to moderate osteoarthritis. Additionally, it helps the body absorb and use Vitamin D3, and increases serum levels of vitamin D by up to 24 percent. It also boosts levels of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a hormone that supports the adrenal glands, can increase energy levels, and helps you feel healthier.10,11

Your nails the bodys own Check Engine light

By Megan Kerkhoff, CHC, AADP Our bodies are unimaginably intelligent. Our hearts beat at precisely the right time, we breathe without ever having to think about it. When we eat, it knows just what part of our body to bring each nutrient to. And it also has a very visible way of telling us when something is wrong on the inside: our fingernails. Healthy nails are pink, indicating sufficient blood flow. Any deviances from this appearance is like your bodys check engine light coming on, alerting you to nutritional deficiencies or underlying conditions. Paying attention to these signs and being in tune with your body enables you to address many health issues before they have the chance to develop into something more serious. While eating a balanced, health-promoting diet that is right for your unique body can help you to avoid many of these issues you never know what may show up. Nails that chip, peel, break, or crack easily, indicates overall nutritional deficiencies. Over time, nutrient deficiencies can progress into anything from Alzheimerlike symptoms to heart disease or infertility. Youve heard the saying An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Now check your nails every day to keep the doctor away! The following are disorders that can commonly show up in the nails:

Grapeseed
a healthier oil with many uses
J
with Local, Certified Organic Produce
By Amy Cebulski ust what is the growing interest in grapeseed oil all about? First of all, it comes from the grape seeds after wine production. It is therefore environmentally sound and requires no new farmland or water to produce. Versatile, delicious and good for you, grapeseed oil allows the pure flavor of fresh food to come through. Its delicate flavor and body make it perfect for sauting, baking or frying. It can be the primary oil in salad dressings and marinades, or anywhere else you would use cooking oil.

many of you already know that olive oil is more heart-healthy than other oils. Grapeseed is even healthier.
Grapeseed oil has also been used in the production of massage oils, balms, hair and hygienic products, face and body moisturizers as well as in sunblock and sunburn ointments. Grapeseeds are so small its hard to believe anyone would go to the bother of pressing them. Actually, European winemakers have been doing just that for centuries and grapeseed oil has long been prized for its light distinctive taste and versatility. The biggest advantage to grapeseed oil is its very high flashpoint. It may be heated up to 419 degrees (F) without burning, one of the highest of any oils. Grapeseed oil withstands higher temps while still retaining flavor and its health benefits. The higher the heat, the faster the cooking time so meats stay juicier and vegetables retain more nutritional value. Many of you already know that olive oil is more heart-healthy than other oils. Grapeseed is even healthier. At only 8 percent, it has the lowest saturated fat level and at 72 percent, the highest polyunsaturated fat level. All of the polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid, which has the greatest effect in raising HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides (fat carried in the blood). Linoleic acid is one of the five essential fatty acids, vital to
life and cannot be produced by the body alone. Also known as Omega-6, it is an antioxidant and acts as a transporter for saturated fat, preventing accumulation in the arteries. It is easily digestible and contains Vitamin E, another important anti-oxidant. Although grapeseed oil has a higher resistance to rancidity than many oils, it can develop an off taste when stored improperly, such as in light or near the heat of the stove. All oils should be stored in a cool, dark place. Unlike many oils, grapeseed oil may be stored in the refrigerator without becoming cloudy. The best form of grapeseed oil is expeller pressed. This is a chemical-free mechanical process that extracts oil from seeds and nuts. This method of oil extraction is an alternative to the hexaneextraction method used for many conventional oils. The temperature reached during pressing depends on the hardness of the nut or seed. The harder the nut or seed, the more pressure required to extract the oil, which in turn creates more friction and higher heat. There is no external heat applied during expeller pressing so no petroleum products are used in cold pressed oils. Grapeseed oils may be infused with many flavors, the most common being roasted garlic, butter, lemon and basil pesto. This is a great way to add flavor to foods while still using a healthy oil.

with life. The only problem was that I was getting alarmingly more ill. I was sleeping more and more and was having high fevers. During this period I would hear a voice coming from the middle of the room asking me, Who are you? I would sit up and answer, I dont know, but Im trying to find out. Then I would go back to my fever-induced delirium and sleep. I almost died by the time I got to the hospital in March. My body was in a very rare autoimmune reaction where I was destroying my own platelets and blood cells within my bone marrow faster than I could make them. They admitted me into the hospital and I dont remember the first three days I was there. But I do remember coming to awareness within myself and began questioning myself. Where had I been? How can I rebuild myself? Who am I? There were two books that were brought to me to read during my stay and both of them had that verse again. I am that I am.

The ABCs of backto-school skin care

By Caitlyn Brotz New clothes, white sneakers, sharpened pencils and crisp unused notebooks can only mean one thing its back to school time! If you are looking forward to going back to school or dreading having your summer come to an end, everyone has one thing in common, looking good on the first day back. As they always say, first impressions are important. Even if you have gone to school with your fellow classmates since preschool and they were there when you ate paste, you still want to make an awesome back to school entrance. The stress of your first day back to school can wreak havoc on your skin. When you bust through those double doors of your school you want people looking at you and your stylish new clothes, not your zit. There are many products on the market, but how do you know which ones work the best? For starters, think of your skin a lot like your hair. Dont fight it. It is more apt to cooperate if you give it what it is looking for rather than try to alter it. And just like hair, everyone has different skin types and needs. Everyones skin is different and the product that your best friend uses may not be the best product for you. There are many beauty lines out there that promise results, but look for products that are all natural; they work better with your skin to achieve beautifying results. When it comes to washing your face, less is more. We have been programmed to wash our face once or twice a day. This is far too often. Every time we cleanse with soap, we deplete our natural oils and tap into our skins defense, the fatty acids and lipids. When these begin to get depleted, our skin goes

into defense mode. Oftentimes it will react by sending out more oils to try to keep lubricated. Your skins oils can often be a breeding ground for bacteria to cause blemishes. Properly moisturizing with a natural formulation will help keep your skin in balance and looking its best. First, figure out which skin type you have: oily, dry or combination. Then look for a natural skin care product specifically targeted to your skin type. Products for people with dry skin arent always best for people with oily skin and vice versa. The first part of your skin care regiment is going to be finding a facial soap bar or face wash. There are a few key ingredients that will help to make your skin clean and blemish free by the first day of school. A facial soap bar or face wash that has a gentle exfoliate in it is going to be best. An exfoliate, such as fine pumice stone powder, will gently remove the dead skin cells off your face that may be left behind by a non-exfoliating face wash or bar. Any exfoliate that is too heavy will remove dead skin but it will also tear at your pores. Staying with a gentle and light exfoliate will get the job done and will also leave your face looking polished and smooth. French green clay is very beneficial to your skin and will draw out the impurities from deep inside your pores where the bacteria that causes blemishes likes to hide. The clay tightens pores, tones skin and exfoliates dead skin cells. It removes dead cells and will feed new cells by promoting blood flow. If you have a surprise blemish that pops up the day before a big event, French green clay is an excellent zit zapper. You simply need to put some of the clay, mixed with a bit of water, on your blemish and leave it overnight. The clay will draw out any impurities without having to pop the blemish, which will do more harm than good. It will reduce the size of the blemish and your skin will look better by the next morning. Dead Sea mud is an active ingredient that will also be beneficial to your skin. Dead sea mud infuses skin with minerals, which will leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed and hydrated. It provides effective relief for skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. The fine mud grains will cleanse your skin and remove any dirt, impurities and toxins. The mud will also gently peel away dead skin cells to reveal a healthier skin layer. Dead Sea mud is filled with minerals and nutrients that your skin craves. The next step in your skin care regiment will be a moisturizer. If you are looking for a natural facial lotion you will be looking for something without alcohol and preservatives. Rice Bran oil is a natural and beneficial oil that is loaded with natural Vitamin E. The Vitamin E will help defend against the elements, sun, wind and pollution. Rice Bran is also said to absorb dirt from pores and balance natural oils in the skin. Rice Bran has a naturally occurring sunscreen. Finding a facial moisturizer with a light degree of sun protection will go a long way in keeping your skin looking young in years to come. Wrinkles may be the farthest thing from your mind right now, but by treating your skin well now, your skin will treat you well in the years to come. Your skin will cooperate best when you work with it, rather than against it. Find what works best for you and remember on your first day of school the most important thing is to just be yourself.

Difficulty losing weight?
Its time to get personala personalized plan, that is!
By Kimberly Neher, M.S. e all know that eating more calories than we burn off each day causes weight gain, but did you ever think that the foods you are eating (even the healthy ones) may be stalling your weight loss efforts? We often hear that diets do not work, and this is absolutely true. A one-size-fits-all diet plan has no chance of being successful on such a diverse population, yet we continue to go back and give each one a try in hopes that we will find what we are looking for the quick weight loss fix. Each one of us is so very different from anyone else in our lives; therefore how we lose weight is going to be equally as different. Think about how perfume smells different depending on the body that wears it, outfits flatter some bodies better than others, and we all have completely different health profiles inside and out making us who we are. So what makes us think we could ever follow the same diet plan as the person sitting next to us? It just will not work! Diet foods and weight loss products are one of the largest industries in our country, yet we are continually becoming unhealthier and more overweight as the years go by. The beautiful thing for these industries is that they are so successful for that very reason their products and services do not work and consumers continue trying and buying in hopes that something will finally give them success. What is wrong with this picture? To accomplish long-term weight loss success, we need to determine what works for our bodies individually. A personalized menu plan determined by what foods agree with your body, and complimented with a body composition analysis, is the perfect recipe for successful weight loss. Finding out what foods agree with your body can be determined with a simple food allergy blood test called the ALCAT test. When we hear the word allergy we immediately think of the immediate hypersensitive reactions that someone may have to a food causing them to break out in hives or begin wheezing (i.e., peanuts, shellfish, etc.). The type of food allergies the ALCAT test finds are the delayed food allergies (intolerances) causing various symptoms within your body many hours to days after you consume your trigger foods. These personal poisons can and will cause your
80
body inflammation, thus making it difficult for you to lose weight. These trigger foods activate inflammatory molecules which block cell receptors from regulating metabolism, resulting in a sluggish metabolism and increased fat deposition. Needless to say, since we have no immediate reaction, we continue to eat them without ever knowing they are affecting us. Symptoms such as weight gain, bloating, water retention, fatigue, aching joints and headaches can all be due to a delayed food allergy. In my experience in analyzing the allergy test results, no two people are the same, and not everyone is destined to have numerous food allergies. For example, you and your friend at work could both be trying to lose weight by eating very similarly and incorporating exercise into your day. You meet for lunch and consistently have been having a healthy spinach salad topped with chicken and a side of strawberries for dessert. For some reason your friend is able to lose weight with no problem, but the number on your scale is not budging. After getting the ALCAT food allergy test you realize that each day the spinach in your salad (among a few other foods like egg whites, cranberries and asparagus) was actually your food allergen causing the above named symptoms and stalling your weight loss efforts. But you thought spinach was healthy? Well, yes, but just not for your body at this time. The good news is that elimination of your trigger foods for a number of months will allow your body to be back in balance and able to incorporate them here and there without the same delayed allergic response. This is not necessarily a life sentence; it is just your bodys way of reacting to foods it does not agree with. It is also important to note that along with foods, many herbs and additives such as dyes, thickeners, and preservatives can also have this affect. The ALCAT food allergy test is so simple, and until you stop bombarding your body with its own personal poison,
most of our weight loss struggles and issues that we go to the doctor for are a result of something we could have eaten and didnt, or shouldnt have eaten and did.
no drug, medical therapy, or diet alone will be able to improve your health or help you lose weight. After determining what foods to avoid by doing allergy food testing, it is important to determine how many calories your body needs to either maintain your current weight or help you get to your goal weight. You may think you and your friend that is losing weight are very similar in body type and weight goals. However, your body composition (fat mass, lean mass, body water, body mass index, basal metabolic rate, etc.) may be quite different! All these factors can be determined with a body composition analysis; a test that can give someone interested in weight loss all these measurements in a matter of minutes. From the body composition test results it is possible to learn how many calories a person is currently consuming to maintain their weight, their exact body mass index (BMI), and how many calories are needed to consume to safely lose one to two pounds each week. Body composition
testing gives you a true printout of what is going on in your body. What makes it successful is that within just a few months time, it is possible to re-analyze your body composition and determine where your weight loss is coming from and how all those measures have changed over that time. Your caloric intake may be adjusted when necessary. Most of our weight loss struggles and issues that we go to the doctor for are a result of something we could have eaten and didnt, or shouldnt have eaten and did. Your body came with preprogrammed instructions, you just arent following them! Consider individualized nutrition counseling and ALCAT food allergy testing for your improved health.

Mediterranean diet may help fight breast cancer
ew research suggests women looking to prevent breast cancer after menopause may want to consider dietary changes, including adopting Mediterranean eating habits, to reduce their risk. According to information published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Greek post-menopausal women who rated highly in terms of researching scores in their consumption of foods that fit with a Mediterranean diet were 22 percent less likely to develop breast cancer during the study than others. Although the diet is not a cure-all for breast cancer, researchers estimate that if all women in their study population had closely adhered to a traditional Mediterranean diet, about 10 percent of the 127 postmenopausal breast cancers in ures Pathways 8.11_Layout 1 7/13/11 4:04 PM Page 1 the group would have been avoided. Although studies have only been conducted on breast cancer thus far, there is also hopeful evidence that the diet may reduce the risk for other cancers, including

Those who want to follow a Mediterranean diet can consider the following guidelines. Base every meal on the consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains, olive oil, beans, nuts, legumes, seeds, herbs, and spices. Consume fish and seafood often, at least two times per week. Enjoy moderate portions of poultry, eggs, cheese, and yogurt daily to weekly. Reduce and limit consumption of meats and sweets.
What is a Mediterranean diet?
Nations in the Mediterranean region, including Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Spain, have historically had lower rates of heart disease and some cancers, including breast cancer, compared with other European countries and the United States.

Breath your GPS for life
By Joan M. Ek Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. Zhuangzi Your breath flows through your entire being. As you inhale, you take in freshness; when you exhale, you release all that is no longer needed. How often do you take time to notice your breath, follow it and be thankful for the gift of your life? Breath permeates all areas of life. In yoga, one of the first things youll be taught is how to breathe and follow your breath. In meditation, you start with your breath, and return to your breath when you find yourself distracted by random thoughts. Breath is the most important thing in your life. Without your breath, you would cease to exist. By simply noticing your breath, you can determine whether youre really alive and present in your life. Your grounding breath is long, slow and deep. It is barely audible and fills your lungs completely. Your belly rises with the in-breath.

The out-breath is the opposite; it is full and emptying is complete. This type of breath oxygenates your entire being, is very fulfilling and you experience a sense of calmness when breathing in this manner. Play around with this concept to see what it feels like for you. Imagine a time when you were angry. Feel where your breath goes, and what the sensations are in your body. How would you describe your breathing? Next, think of a time when you were anxious and worried about what was to come. How would you describe your breathing now? It might be short and fast, barely entering your lungs, and would sound as if you were gasping for air. Or perhaps you were holding your breath and nearly forgetting to take the next breath. Either way, you would not be experiencing a calm feeling, but a fight/flight/freeze or panic might be setting in. It is important to notice this lack of balance and find a way to restore yourself to the state of being calm, centered and grounded. One way to monitor whether youre working too hard (fear) or not enough (panic) on something in your life is to monitor your breath. Then move toward what is commonly called the sweet spot, flow or balance. While what that looks like will be unique to each individual, the relative positions hold true for everyone. And yours is what you need be concerned about managing. The interesting thing about learning to follow your breath is that you can then use this information to direct you in your life (heres the GPS part). The information it provides helps to guide you to making the best decisions about situations you encounter. It is best to become familiar with your breath now so that when you come across something distressing, you can calm yourself and take action from your center. When you are centered, you are better able to respond in a way that would be appropriate (responseability) rather than react from an ungrounded place. The latter tends to lead to destructive behaviors, which take you off course and cost you more of your time and effort in the long run.
It is possible to learn how to breathe to energize or calm yourself. I highly recommend that my clients learn breathing techniques to help them manage through situations they encounter. Integrative Wellness Expert, Andrew Weil, M.D., recommends three methods of breathing exercises on his Web site, www.drweil.com. Practice all three, and select the method that corresponds to the desired outcome. The great thing about using breathing exercises as a tool is: 1. Anyone can learn them. 2. They empower you. 3. Theyre always with you. 4. Theyre free. 5. They have no side effects. 6. You can use them for the rest of your life. 7. You can teach them to others to empower them as well. Your breath really does serve you well throughout your life. When you trust in yourself and monitor where you are, you can align, get grounded and give yourself permission to act from the effective, response-able place. Your path becomes very clear and direct. Let your breath guide you.

Probiotics:
A billion good bugs
By Tony Bednarowski id you know that your digestive tract contains more than 400 types of friendly bacteria? These little guys, commonly referred to as probiotics, help reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. Probiotics are live bacteria with clinically-documented health benefits.
Health benefits:
It appears that when the digestive system is kept healthy, other body systems greatly benefit as well. Probiotics may: Protect against infection Enhance and boost the immune system Promote and improve digestive health Alleviate diarrhea caused by antibiotic treatments Promote urinary and genital health Assist in the management of inflammation Help alleviate symptoms of lactose intolerance Improve some types of eczema in infants and children Reduce cholesterol levels Decrease the risk of certain cancers Currently, foods that contain probiotics are primarily dairy products and dairy beverages, including: Yogurt, drinkable and squeezable yogurts, fluid milk with added probiotics, fermented milk such as sweet acidophilus milk, and kefir. Through fermentation, probiotics enhance the flavor and texture of these particular dairy products. Dairy foods actually buffer your stomach acid and bile, thereby protecting the probiotics from the stomach acid so that they can reach the intestines. Look for a yogurt that contains the live and active culture sign on the label. Pay close attention to the expiration date because these live bacterial cultures can diminish with time.

The 411 on high fructose corn syrup

Many people are starting to ask more questions about high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Theyve heard that this widely-used sweetener increases appetite and may cause an increase in body fat. Lets examine this product a little more closely.
What is HFCS?
High fructose corn syrup is made by modifying corn starch so that it contains a higher level of fructose. As a result, high fructose corn syrup tastes sweeter than refined sugar, making it a cost-saving incentive for food manufacturers. High fructose corn syrup is found in many processed and packaged foods including, soft drinks, fruit drinks, jams and jellies, as well as baked goods.
high starch-based foods are big culprits as well. Dietary guidelines recommend that we limit added sugars to 8 or less teaspoons a day for an average 2,000-calorie diet. One 20-ounce soft drink bottle alone contains 240 calories with more than 15 teaspoons of added sugars. Replacing these 15 teaspoons with other types of sugar is no better. Excess calories cause weight gain, whether it is from high fructose corn syrup, honey or fat.
The bottom line
Where do you find HFCS?
Is HFCS to blame for weight gain?
Absolutely, but we cannot let high fructose corn syrup take all the blame, especially when high calorie intake of saturated fats and
High fructose corn syrup is mostly found in foods with empty calories, which are foods high in calories but low in nutritional values. The best strategy is to replace these foods with nutrientdense foods. For instance, instead of drinking soft drinks to quench your thirst, try water or sugar-free drinks. Instead of snacking on candies or cookies in mid-afternoon, try snacking on nuts or low-fat yogurt. Instead of using refined grains, try whole grain.
