Dear Friends, It was the spring of 2002 when I first launched Healthy Living Magazine. As scary as it was to approach my first couple of advertisers (now my friends) I dug deep within myself and fought through all the negative beliefs and self doubts. I stuck with it, made some mistakes along the way, but I can honestly say that I am doing what I love. And now realize I am doing my life’s work! I have been blessed tremendously and I have experienced such growth and healing along the way. Not to mention the opportunity to work with such great healers like Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Joan Borysenko, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil, Mark Mincolla and now, Alberto Villoldo. As we approach our 10th anniversary this September 2012, I think back about the wonderful resource that I created, built up from the foundation, planting seeds along the way while watching them grow. What an accomplishment. I am so proud to continually strive to provide an arena for the interchange of ideas and experiences, by which I hope to inform, nurture, and inspire each and everyone’s health and well being. Well, I’m proud to share with you the next phase of growth: Healthy Living Magazine Goes Virtual! Each month my readers will find valuable resource on health & fitness information, tips, tools, expert advice and support. We hope that HL MAG becomes your go-to guide to a healthy life style. Available right at your finger tips, we have implemented an easy to use interface that allows our readers to search for a service or practitioner and link directly from the magazine to a practitioners’ website. Check it out on-line today and subscribe to receive our monthly e-Magazine at www.myhealthylivingmagazine.com So, do what you feel, despite your fears and doubts; the end result is always something spectacular. Feel the fear and do it anyway, as they say. Let your heart make up your mind and wonderful things happen. I may not be financially rich, but I am rich with wonderful friends, personal growth opportunities, being at home with my children and helping people on the road to better heath and wellness. When you have enough nothing is lacking. Special thanks to my dear family and to Virginia Just . . . for putting up with my late nights . . . and helping me stay true to my vision.

Overcoming Superbug Colds and Flus
by Mark Mincolla
When Nobel Prize winning Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming discovered antibiotics in 1928 he warned the world against their overuse. Now, more than 80 years after Fleming's warning we are spending over $10 billion annually on antibiotics in America, apparently to our own peril. In 2008 a bacterial super strain called New Delhi Matallo Beta Lactamase 1, or NDM 1 began circling the globe. Thus far the killer strain has demonstrated resistance to fifteen high powered antibiotics. In March of this year the associated press reported that NDM 1 was turning up in American army hospitals in Afghanistan, and is now believed to have found its way into the U.S. Also in March of this past year CNN reported that Carbapen Resistant Klebseilla Pneumonia (CRKP) killer superbug was now in all fifty states, and that previous outbreaks have demonstrated a 35% death rate. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) has been an ongoing health concern now for the past decade and is now said to kill 48,000 Americans hospital patients each year. The bad news trend is clear. The bugs that have always made us sick are now superbugs that are killing us. There is good news however. What orthodox medicine can no longer do natural medicine can. In April of 2011 Portuguese researchers from the University of Beira discovered that coriander oil at a 1.6% solution was effective at killing twelve lethal drug resistant strains of bacteria including: e coli, salmonella, and MRSA. In 2009, University of Sydney researchers reported that Manuka honey diluted to 1/10 solution could effectively kill the NDM 1 strain of bacteria. Manuka honey produces hydrogen peroxide in the body, and contains over 800 methyl
glyoxyl agents that strip the immunity of bacteria and destroy their protein. In 2008 University prof. London researcher Dr. Ronald Cutler performed human studies and found that stabilized allicin from garlic cured 100% of 53 patients with MRSA infection. The University of Texas is currently developing new air filtration technology that filters out 99.97% of all bacteria because of colloidal silver in the filtration system. Dr. Harry Preuss of Georgetown University Medical School found that oil of oregano has a powerful agent called carvacral that kills e. coli, and staph bacteria as effectively as antibiotics without the side effects. Further more, like all natural antibiotics, killer bacteria can not resist against it. Finally, with all the fear about super viruses like bird flu, it's important to mention that we have had a natural cure for almost all superbug viruses including bird flu since 1982. While researching at the CDC in Atlanta in 1982, Kabara discovered that lauric acid from coconut oil effectively killed most viruses including bird flu, most bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Nature can not resist against itself. The mutational development of unnatural medicines has created a mutational reaction from the world of germs. Not to worry, nature has an answer.
My recommendations for fighting superbugs this winter:
American Herbs and Spices Oreganol Ecological Formulas Monolaurin Wedderspoon 16 plus Manuka Honey Enzymatic Therapy Garlicin Ionic Colloidal silver and gold Physicians Strength Coriander Oil

Food For Thought 10 Tips for Healthier Kids at Dinnertime
by Lori Tobin, Owner of SporTobin, Hull, MA
1. Did you know takes 10 times for kids to
develop a taste for new foods? Don’t give up! That means your kids cannot give up on carrots, cukes, cherry tomatoes, edamame, fish, or anything until they have tried it 10 times. And you can’t either! 2. Make a list of easy dinners that come together in a short amount of time. One of mine is to whip up a bowl of pasta, cheese and chicken. Cook with whatever your family likes. We use whole wheat pasta, Smart Balance (margarine), and pre-cut cooked chicken. I always have cooked chicken and pasta with frozen broccoli florets. Take the pasta and broccoli, boil up and then drain. Take a frying pan, toss in 2 dollops of Smart Balance, 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, add the chicken and sauté on medium heat. Add ½ cup of 2% milk. Sometimes, I even use half and half. Put the pasta and broccoli on a plate. Add your chicken and sauce. Buy shredded cheese— sprinkle it on top. Just make sure there is LOTS of broccoli. 3. Make mealtime quick and easy! Dinner should fit your schedule. I’m a busy Mom. In fact, I’m a busy person with an elderly family member in assisted living that needs attention and time. I have a young son and a business to run. I coach travel soccer for a team of 12-year-old boys. I have three morning programs that meet at 7:00 AM at the schools here in town. Plus, I have to get my runs and exercise in or I feel totally off. Don’t overcomplicate dinner or you will make yourself miserable. 4. Frozen is good. I love frozen veggies originated here in the US. If you buy fresh produce, you don’t know how long it takes to get to your supermarket from the moment it is picked. For this same reason, we buy frozen
fish. I think it is better than buying fresh - at least for my family. Think about it: swordfish is fresh until you remember that it is caught, put on ice, and on a boat for potentially several weeks until you buy it at the store. 5. Don’t fear fish! I sauté frozen cod in a pan with Smart Balance, water, and lemon juice and my son LOVES it! And he is picky! 6. Let your kids help you in the kitchen. They feel very proud to be part of the dinner process. Put some good music on while you are cooking. Even sing and dance! Also play music when you exercise. It makes it fun and they pick up on your healthy habits. 7. After dinner, leave the house for a good walk. Go for a bike ride or do anything active that fits the season. Just get out of there! 8. Dessert could be fruit. My son can devour a whole plate of strawberries, blueberries, bananas, apples, watermelon. Remember that whatever is in season works better on the wallet. 9. Taco night! Canned beans, veggies, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, chopped chicken and some whole wheat tortillas. That’s it. You’re not cooking; the kids get to make their own tacos and enjoy it. 10. Stock up on your frozen, fresh, and canned fruits and veggies when they are on sale. Lori Tobin is the founder of SporTobin, a Hull-based apparel company with workout clothes that work for you!

Chinese Herb of the Month:
Forsythia Fruit Pinyin: Lian Qiao
Lian Qiao is an important herb to clear infections from the body. If you have ever taken Chinese herbs for a cold or flu, you've probably taken Lian Qiao (Forsythia Fruit.) We use it in Chinese herbal formulas to detoxify the body, clear infections, and treat fevers, sore throats, and excessive thirst. In Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, there is a concept called "toxic heat." Many infections present as toxic heat, and examples include severely swollen and red tonsils, raised red rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and high fevers. Lian Qiao is one of the best herbs to clear toxic heat, which is why is can be so effective in formulas for symptoms of the common cold, particularly once it has progressed to a full-blown flu. It is also useful in treating acute skin conditions that present as hot, red, raised, and swollen. Biochemical research has shown Lian Qiao to have antibacterial, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory functions. Marcie Griffith, Lic.Ac., MAOM, Dipl.

EnjoyingtheHolidayswithDiabetes by Deb Brothers-Klezmer and Wendy Midgley
The holiday season is a time for gathering with family and friends, for festivities, decorating, partying, love, connection and remembrances. It is also a season of high emotions, overeating, overspending, drinking, (tempting treats), decreased exercise, and time demands . . . which create a perfect recipe for disrupting diabetes control. How does one maintain good blood sugar control during the holiday season? (and still have fun!!) The following guidelines can make the holiday season less stressful and more rewarding. #1 The most important thing you can do to manage your diabetes during the holidays is to PLAN AHEAD. (AND plan to enjoy yourself.)
#2 Remember the golden rule: “EVERYTHING
IN MODERATION.” #3 Know your meal plan inside and out to ensure you are prepared for all occasions. #4 Check your blood sugar regularly. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the ideal blood sugar goals (any time of year) are 80-130 mg/dl before
eating and no higher than 140mg/dl 2 hours after eating. Values higher than these may indicate too much holiday cheer going on. #5 Have a healthy snack before going out so you don’t give into cravings. Decide ahead of time what you plan to eat and how much. Imagine eating only what you plan. #6 Carbohydrates have the biggest effect on your blood sugar. Distribute them evenly during the day. “Carbs” include breads, chips, pretzels, cereals, crackers, candy, desserts, starchy beans, fruits, juice, starchy vegetables, sugar sweetened sodas, and milk products. Consume carbs together with proteins (fish, meat, eggs, dairy, nuts), high fiber vegetables, and healthy fats—in order to control blood sugars. Speak with your diabetes provider in advance about increasing short acting insulin in certain situations. #7 When baking, use less sugar in a recipe. Increase cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and other sweet tasting spices and flavorings.

#8 Use natural sugar substitutes such as
Stevia and Truvia to cut carbs and calories. #9 Have combination complex carbohydrateprotein snacks available in case meals are delayed. (Ex: 4 crackers with peanut butter, or 10 nuts and a fruit, or a yogurt, or a mixed nut protein bar) #10 Don’t sit or stand in one place for more than 1 hour. GET up and move! #11 Don’t go barefoot or wear new tight shoes. Always make time for your foot care.
#12 Wear or carry some form of medical
alert identification letting others know you are diabetic in case of emergency.
#13 Find quiet time for yourself daily. Read, take a walk, drink herbal tea, or just enjoy watching Christmas decorations or the snowfall. AND remember to get adequate sleep. (no less than 7 hrs. per 24 hr. period). #14 Dehydration is very common. Drink lots of water, non-alcoholic, sugar-free, and caffeine free beverages while joining in on the festivities. #15 When shopping or doing errands – bring along healthy snacks like apples or carrot sticks to avoid fast food restaurants and food courts. #16 If your diabetes provider has told you it’s alright for you to have an occasional drinkmake sure you have food with it and stick to one serving of alcohol. ***An alcohol equivalent is a 12oz. beer, 5 oz. of wine, or 1.5oz. (1 shot) of liquor.***
These are high calorie, low nutrient drinks that do nothing for you nutritionally. Speak with your diabetes provider about substituting alcohol for fat calories. Certain alcoholic drinks are also high in carbohydrates (for example: beer, sweet wines, and sweet liqueurs.) Alcohol inhibits the liver from releasing stored glucose (and may lower one’s
blood sugar initially; however, a rebound effect—of unusually high blood sugars—can also occur). The effect of alcohol on each individual varies. #17 If you do get a cough or cold over the holidays, some over-the-counter (OTC) medications contain sugar and may react with your medications. Speak with your diabetes provider or pharmacist to make sure you won’t suffer from serious drug reactions. #18 If you do overindulge in food and drink, plan to increase fiber and decrease fat at other meals. And don’t forget the protein. Excellent low-fat/protein-balanced meals are chicken soup, a small sandwich on whole grain bread, salads with turkey or chicken and diet dressing. Lots of low calorie vegetables are advised in general. #19 Remember Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, New Years and others are only a few days out of a six week holiday season. One day’s overconsumption will not ruin your long term diabetes management, but a six week period of overconsumption will make continued on page 12 . . .

Doing Less Creates More Meaning, Satisfaction, and Results
by Marc Lesser
It is easy to fall into the trap of busyness – constantly going from one thing to another – from demands at home to demands at work to emails to exercise to relationships . . . with no time for stopping, reflecting, or recharging. We can become like a carpenter who doesn’t have the time to stop and sharpen his or her tools. As a result, the tools become dull; more and more effort is required; less and less is accomplished. We think we must move faster, work harder. It’s a vicious circle. A doctor friend I have known for many years was recently severely injured in a head-on collision with a driver who had a seizure on the Golden Gate Bridge. She broke nearly every bone in her body and was in a coma for several months. It is a miracle that she has not only survived but appears to be in the process of a nearly complete recovery. In her online journal, she writes with a sense of deep knowing and powerful urgency: “We must remember to get on with our lives. Do what is important. If you haven't been married, GET MARRIED. If you need to get divorced, get divorced. Just do what is essential and important. That is what matters.” The truth is, you are both carpenter and tools, for you are responsible for keeping the blade, which is yourself, honed. However, busyness not only dulls the blade, resulting in unnecessary and ineffectual effort, it can convince us that we don’t even have the time to pull out the grinding stone and keep ourselves sharp. Sometimes the day’s furious deadlines make us believe we are so busy that we don’t even have a minute — much less ten or twenty — to stop, pause, and reflect. We convince ourselves that we can’t do the very things that we most want, or the things that would make all our efforts easier and more effective. In short, we become accustomed to using a dull tool, and we may stop even
noticing how much extra effort we are exerting for such diminishing returns. Unlike a carpenter, we don’t need to do anything extra to return to our original state of sharpness and unbridled full-functioning. We only need to do less of what gets in the way. As Shunryu Suzuki, the author of Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, says, “You are perfect just as you are.” And, as he adds somewhat cryptically, “You can use a little improvement.” When I first read that quote thirty years ago, I found it hard to comprehend. Yes, it was a paradox, but it seemed rather puzzling and not very helpful. Now that I have had many years to ponder it, I believe it is one of the kindest and most freeing pieces of wisdom to live by. What is interesting is that we usually become overbusy for laudable reasons — we are pursuing our dreams, being responsible citizens, assisting our family members or colleagues, and seeking happiness and real freedom. Having a lot to do is not innately a bad thing. Most of us love being active. I do. But this becomes over-the-top busyness when it makes us feel depleted rather than complete, when we run down the path toward freedom and real accomplishment but find them getting farther away. The Power of Sabbath When my two children were in elementary school, a weekly day of doing less was an important part of our family ritual. We

borrowed some ideas from the Jewish Sabbath as well as Buddhist Day of Mindfulness practices. At the heart of our day we had three simple rules that we applied from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday evening: Rule #1: There was no spending money. Rule #2: There was no watching television. Rule #3: We did something together as a family. These three guidelines produced significant results in the quality of those twenty-four hours. What a relief to not buy anything, not have the television on, and spend time simply enjoying each other’s presence. My wife and I talked more with our two children; we read books, told stories, played games, went for walks, and shared meals. The biggest benefit of this structured break was that, for a day, the pace of our lives slowed down and our family connections increased. One of my favorite parts of this ritual was the formal ending. We observed the Jewish tradition of looking for the first three stars to become visible on Saturday evening, signaling that Sabbath was over. It was fun and exciting for the four of us to stand on our deck together, seeing who could find the three stars as the sun faded and nighttime slowly emerged. Of course, since we live in Marin County, dense fog sometimes forced us to use our imaginations. Instituting rest and simplicity is not a magic wand for perfection. There were occasional disagreements, grumpiness, and boredom. But our imperfections often emerge as the most endearing parts of ourselves, and those “Sabbath” days stand out as important building blocks, and are great memories, for our stillgrowing family. You don’t need to have children to create a regular Sabbath or retreat in your life. In fact, you can do this if you live by yourself, with others, or a family of any size.
into your mind and body, into your bones. We are born with all the wisdom, playfulness, and imagination we need; we just sometimes need help and reminders to return to our senses and get out of our own way. It is the firm knowledge that nothing extra is required. You have everything you need; just let go of whatever distractions, fears, and busyness might be hampering you. It’s that simple. Allow yourself to think and feel and live that way. Embodying and acting from this place results in greater composure, and when we act with composure, we are more effective. Try these practices: Once a week, or once a month, create a “Sabbath” for yourself or family. Create some simple rules such as – no spending money, no TV, doing something as a family, or some activity that provides nourishment. Once a day for the next week, experiment with this thought – You are perfect just as you are. Try writing it and/or speaking it. Notice that it is true. Once a day for the next week, experiment with asking yourself: What is one project you want to accomplish. Be specific. What are the next steps? Busyness, and the difficulties and demands of our lives demand a good deal of attention, and respect. At the same time, by bringing our habits into greater awareness and experimenting with challenging our assumptions, we can produce surprising results.

Healthy Living Readers: Flowers are an essential part of the human experience. They help us celebrate life’s events, we embrace their healing powers, and we admire their beauty. Are you aware of the healing qualities of flowers? Scientific studies have found significant changes in physical and mental health when we incorporate flowers into our daily lives. Exposure to the various colors and aromas of flowers can have a positive influence on our emotional well being. Flowers inspire our soul and nourish our need for love, they encourage positive thinking, and acceptance. With this knowledge, Full Bloom was created. Full Bloom offers intimate workshops that share the important roll flowers have in our lives. Creating and working with flowers, their essences, and essential oils allows us to disconnect from the hectic pace of life and ease into a higher level of self- connection. Being connected allows us to mentally alter our own state and aids in our overall health. Be Sure to check out our NEW Full Bloom Workshops on our website or gather a group of friends and schedule a workshop to fit your needs.

Lean and Green by Kami Gray
Six Simple Strategies
We don’t often think of losing weight and becoming healthier as a way to live greener and become a better steward of the planet, but becoming lean and going green go hand-in-hand. Here are some easy ways to slim down, become healthier, and take better care of our beautiful planet.
1. Shop the perimeter of your
grocery store where all the fresh, healthy food is located, like fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meats. The packaged, processed, and frozen foods that often contain trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and other unhealthy additives are typically found in the center of the store. This could also be a money-saving strategy, since fresh foods typically cost less than processed foods. It’s better for the environment because all that excessive packaging ends up in landfills. You are reducing waste as you’re reducing your waist! Don’t forget to bring reusable bags to the grocery store to cut down on the resources required to manufacture new paper and plastic bags as well the energy required to make them.
2. Hit the bulk aisle for healthy foods like
whole grains, nuts, and cereal to cut down on excessive packaging and save you some money. While refined, simple, and starchy carbohydrates, such as white bread, white rice, white pasta, and highly processed foods, can contribute to weight gain and can prevent weight loss; whole grains like oats, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and quinoa can have the opposite effect. Not only are they the key to weight loss and weight maintenance, they
can also reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. You are also requiring less energy from the planet when you eat food that is minimally processed. When you choose whole grains, the planet’s energy and resources aren’t expended taking apart the grain and processing, refining, and bleaching it. Those whole grains you’re eating are eventually processed or broken down, though. Guess where that energy comes from? You! So not only are you saving Earth’s precious resources and the energy required to process whole grains into white foods; your body is using its energy to break down those whole grains instead. To be gentler to the environment, bring your own containers or use brown paper bags from the produce section and reuse them several times because recycling the bag.
3. Walk, bike, or take mass
transit to run errands, visit your neighbor, attend worship services, or take the kids to school. It’s pretty clear how biking and walking can help you slim down, but mass transit calls for more exercise too since you have to travel to pick up and drop off points. Sure, all these methods require a little more time and planning ahead, but losing excess weight and becoming healthier while reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the leading cause of global warming, is definitely worth it!
4. Patronize farmers’ markets and put
yourself smack in the middle of the freshest, local, and seasonal bounty of fruits and vegetables that your community has to offer.

This also helps to support the local economy, requires less fuel to transport food to you, and less carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles transporting food great distances. Much of the produce you buy at your local grocery store comes from agribusiness giants that ship food thousands of miles for your convenience. Food that comes from a nearby farm is going to taste a lot fresher and tastier and spending money at farmers’ markets tells the farmers to continue to put their land to good use and keep growing healthy food for the local population.
5. Buy organic food instead of food
manufactured and grown using conventional practices because it’s guaranteed by the USDA to not contain pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, genetically modified organisms, or sewage sludge. Certified organic food is also produced on ecologically-friendly farms that are required to use sustainable practices that ensure the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water, which keeps your drinking water cleaner. One tiny word of caution: just because a food is certified organic doesn’t mean it’s healthy or that it will help you lose weight. There are hundreds of organic foods that are in this category such as packaged foods, ice cream, and breads and pastas that are not whole grain. Organic food can be more expensive so here are some cost-cutting strategies: 1. Search the web for coupons, 2. Shop at discount stores or buy in bulk, 3. Look for store-brand organics, 4. Join a food co-op, 5. Buy produce in season.
production and consumption. From a health standpoint, there are many reasons to limit your beef consumption. Beef is a leading source of dietary saturated fat, which can significantly increase the risk of heart disease, the number one killer of men and women today. Beef consumption also creates a significant number of public health hazards because animal feed in industrial meat plants may contain arsenic, animal by-products, and antibiotics. Making simple changes like these not only transforms your body and makes you healthier; it also helps transform the Earth and makes our planet healthier. Kami Gray is the author of “The Denim Diet: Sixteen Simple Habits to Get You into Your Dream Pair of Jeans”. She is a mother, blogger, author, and TV Wardrobe Stylist who says a dream pair of jeans can be a great motivator for losing weight and keeping it off. Thanks to her green upbringing, her plan focuses on becoming lean while simultaneously minimizing the impact we make on the planet. Her book was released this month.

6. Eat Less Meat and more protein substitutes
like legumes, nuts, seeds (which contain antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, Vitamin E, and far less saturated fat, antibiotics, hormones) is good for you, animal livestock, and the planet. Plant-based food has far less environmental impact than animal-based food. Getting your protein from sources other than beef is a pretty brilliant idea. The EPA estimates that nearly 75 percent of the water pollution in the United States is a direct result of industrial beef production and processing. The problems associated with global warming and climate change are also increased due to beef 21 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011

5 Goals for Developing a Holistic Health Plan for your Pet
by Shawn Messonnier DVM
Many pet owners are interested in offering their pets a more natural form of pet care. Here is a plan I have developed for my clients that I think will benefit your pets as well.
Goal #1 Preventing disease. This
goal seems simple enough; let’s prevent disease so that your pet never becomes ill. I would actually prefer to see healthy pets rather than ill ones. It’s obviously not practical or possible for a pet to never become ill, but we can do a lot to minimize illness. While vaccines may be appropriate at times, a holistic approach appreciates the fact that most of the diseases we see in practice are chronic degenerative diseases. Conventional medicine really does a poor job of preventing and treating these disorders, as it is better suited to treating acute problems like infectious disease. A holistic approach utilizes several steps in order to prevent disease. First, feeding a natural diet, free of harmful chemicals and byproducts, minimizes cell damage. Minimizing vaccines and the unnecessary use of medications and toxins, is also important. Finally, a well-prescribed
supplement regimen can reduce inflammation and oxidation in your pet’s body, decreasing the chances of your pet developing chronic diseases.
Goal #2 - Say NO to Drugs.
One of the most important aspects of a holistic health care plan for your pets is saying NO to drugs whenever possible, and finding alternatives to traditional medications. Drugs certainly have their place in the treatment of many diseases, and we shouldn’t totally abandon their use. In my opinion, they work best for acute problems (such as serious infections and the occasional flare-ups of chronic problems like allergies and arthritis.) More chronic problems (and often minor acute problems) respond best to alternative therapies like herbs, homeopathics, magnetic therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Chronic use of conventional drugs is often more expensive than alternative treatments, and side effects are much more commonly encountered when using conventional medications than when alternative therapies are used. Additionally, many pets treated with chronic drug therapy develop side effects from these drugs, or even another disease from the drug therapy! This means that even more drugs are used to treat these secondary disorders, leading to further increases in side effects or second or third diseases.
Chiropractic For Your Pets?
Chiropractic will increase comfort and add quality to your pet’s performance, movement, and flexibility, and is especially helpful in cases where an injury has occurred.

22 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
Finding natural, alternative therapies is a safer, healthier approach for treating the pet with chronic problems. When drugs need to be used in treating diseases in pets, especially chronic diseases, the LOWEST dose of the drug that provides relief should be used for the SHORTEST amount of time. This approach minimizes side effects, and also gives the pet the
“correct” amount of drug it needs at that time. Feel free to email me for my handout about natural therapies that can be used in place of conventional medications.”
Goal #3 - Heal the pet rather than treat disease. In veterinary
school, which focuses only on conventional medicine, doctors learn to properly diagnose and treat signs and symptoms, and hopefully diseases. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach (even holistic doctors need to diagnose the correct problem before they can treat it,) if our ONLY concern is treating the disease then we are failing our patients.
www.HealthyVeterinaryAlternatives.com
The holistic approach focuses on the PATIENT and not the DISEASE. This is a radically different view of medicine. Healing the patient means, as much as is practical, restoring it to a normal, healthy condition. A normal, healthy

patient is, for the most part, disease free. Notice I have not talked about curing disease. We can restore health even in pets which harbor a fatal disease such as cancer. They can be ““healthy” as long as possible, fighting off the cancer, keeping it in remission, and “living with their disease.” Talking about cancer as an example, Dr. Kevin Hahn, one of the contributors to my latest book, The Natural Vet’s Guide to Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs admonishes us not to forget that “there is a pet attached to that tumor.” Rightly so, his focus (and that of doctors who take a holistic view of health and disease) is on treating “pets with cancer” rather than “treating cancer.” This different approach is the essence of developing a holistic approach to caring for yourself as well as your pets.
Goal #4 - Offering hope for the hopeless. Offering “Hope
for the Hopeless” is actually my favorite of our 5 goals. Many cases of illness are considered hopeless by conventional standards. Maybe there are no therapies for the specific problem (an example is liver cancer,) or maybe the pet has not responded to the appropriate therapies. Before you give up, before you euthanize your pet, consider alternative therapies. I have seen way too many pets that were deemed “untreatable” that responded well to a holistic approach. While not every pet can be cured, many can heal enough to live a good quality life and coexist with their diseases. One of my favorite cases is Lexie, who was 2 years old at the time I saw her. She was correctly diagnosed with polyarthritis and treated by her conventional veterinarians, one of whom was a specialist in internal medicine. Unfortunately, the treatment made Lexie sick, and she also developeddiabetes due to her therapies. Her doctors told the owners that no more could be done for her and that she should be euthanized. Fortunately,
781 585.6525 23 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
continued on page 24 . . .
Lexie responded to a number of holistic therapies. She is doing great at this time. While she still has her polyarthritis, she has been in remission for several years and is taking minute amounts of medications that do not make her ill. Pets like Lexie are a prime reason why I remain committed to a holistic, integrative approach to pet care. It’s particularly rewarding to helps pets that conventional medicine cannot help. These cases are not considered “hopeless” when viewed from a holistic perspective.
Goal #5 - Saving money on pet care. I’m often asked if a holistic pet care program costs more than a traditional pet care program. In general, the answer is “no.” It’s usually less expensive to prevent problems rather than treat them. Additionally, using natural therapies usually, but not always, costs less than conventional drug therapy. There are several reasons for this. Supplements are usually less expensive than drugs, especially if generic medications are not available. Chronic drug therapy usually requires frequent laboratory monitoring of the pet to ensure side effects have not developed; this is usually not necessary with natural therapies. Drugs can cause secondary diseases, which require even more drugs to treat these diseases; this doesn’t happen when using natural therapies. For those times when a natural approach costs more, keep in mind that your pet will usually be healthier and live longer with this approach. It’s impossible to put a price on that!
And finally, I always encourage pet owners to use pet health insurance, which can cut the cost of any preventive or therapeutic program. If you want to save money on pet care, usually combining pet insurance with a natural health care program is the way to go.

Do You Suffer From
Seasonal Affective Disorder by Kathleen Ogar
(SAD)?
In the Northeast, people who have symptoms of this disorder start to experience it at this time of year. As the days grow shorter and access to natural light becomes limited, a mild to severe depression can set in. The worst part about it is, you may not know
enjoyed activities, such as social interactions and intimacy. SAD is thought to be caused by a disturbance in the sleep-wake cycle. Less sunlight leads to higher levels of the hormone melatonin, which can affect mood. Typical treatments for SAD include anti-depressant medicines which aren’t always effective and are known to have side effects. Light or phototherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are also useful. Light therapy (exposure to special bright lights) can be effective in as many as 70 percent of those affected. For unknown reasons, three-quarters of those affected by SAD are women. And you know the saying, “if momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” So what's the best way to get back in balance? From a holistic perspective, there are things you can do to combat the winter blues:
Increase Vitamin D3 in your Photo by Christina Burke
what’s happening to you. Everything else in your life may be right on track, but for some inexplicable reason, you feel blue. It’s estimated that a half million Americans suffer from some form of winter-onset depression during the cold, dark season, with symptoms such as lethargy and fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, sleeping and/or eating too much, increased carbohydrate cravings which leads to weight gain, and a reduced interest in previously
diet or through supplementation or diet. Taking an additional 1,000 – 2,000 IU is now widely recognized by most physicians. You can also add Vitamin D through food sources like milk, salmon, tuna, sardines or eggs (found in the yolk). One of my favorite supplements is a liquid Vitamin D distributed by Carlson. One drop contains 1,000 IU! Take advantage of 10% off at http://www.yourinfinitewellness. com/products.html.
Take a solar break. Try to go outside during your coffee or lunch breaks to get exposure to natural light. Take a walk or sit in a sunny spot for as long as you can spare.

If you have the means to get away for a few days, head south to someplace warm and sunny and take advantage of much needed dose of sunlight.
Homeopathy can help. A
homeopathic practitioner carefully matches remedies and dosages with an individual’s symptom patterns and even individual personalities, in order to best stimulate the body's own natural healing response. According to naturopathic doctor, Dr. Mark Stengler, remedies useful for treating SAD are:
Aurum Metallicum. Also known
as metallic gold, this is a classic remedy for many of the symptoms associated with seasonal affective disorder, and is often prescribed for bouts of depression associated with a lack of sunlight. It may be specifically helpful for stress, tension and sadness. People in authority and those with a strong sense of duty are good candidates for Aurum Metallicum.
Sepia. Made from cuttlefish ink, Sepia
may be helpful in treating the symptoms of SAD and other forms of depression and may be especially effective for those who are irritable, overwhelmed, exhausted and who have a tendency to isolate themselves from others. It’s also useful for women with hormonal imbalances who may experience symptoms from PMS, menopause and perimenopause. Kathleen Ogar, CNC, Dipl. ABT (AOBTA, NCCOM), C.Hom., is a certified nutrition coach, Asian bodywork therapist (acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine), classical homeopath and business coach for wellness professionals. In addition to helping her clients find natural solutions for their healthcare issues, Kathleen offers business coaching to wellness professionals and consults for the Institute of Integrative Nutrition coaching their distance learning students. She also offers corporate workshops on health and wellness.
Ignatia. Homeopathic physicians
frequently prescribe Ignatia for symptoms of SAD and other types of depression, emotional distress, anxiety, moodiness and grief. Perfectionists in particular, are likely to benefit from Ignatia. Natrum Sulphuricum. This remedy especially useful for people with depression that grows worse with dampness. Natrum Sulphuricum is particularly well-suited to those who are sensitive to changes from dry to wet weather. Pulsatilla. This homeopathic preparation from the windflower is most beneficial for individuals with gentle, sensitive personalities – patients whose feelings are easily hurt and who tend to extend themselves in order to avoid hurting the feelings of others. In addition to using Pulsatilla for SAD, it’s often prescribes for anxiety, arthritis, headache and hormonal imbalances. 27 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011

Ten Tips
by Kathleen Ogar
for Detoxing
This is the perfect time of year to clean things up. With New Year's just around the corner, you can get a jumpstart on your resolutions by applying a few of these detox tips. Wake-Up Drink. First thing upon waking, and on an empty stomach, drink 1 cup of hot filtered or spring water with the juice from half of one lemon and two pinches of cayenne pepper. The lemon stimulates your digestion and the cayenne enhances circulation and blood flow.
Contrast Shower. Try
your own at-home version of an old naturopathic hydrotherapy cure. Each time you take a hot shower, follow it by a cold rinse (60 seconds). The "contrast" stimulates circulation, your immune system, and your ability to detox via your skin. Your pores will tighten and you will feel invigorated and ready for the day. This will really wake you up on a cold December morn!
Shake It Up. Jump on a trampoline for 3-to-5 minutes at a time. If you don't own a trampoline, you can simulate the movement by jumping in place. Keep your shoulders loose. This stimulates your whole body and is
particularly useful for stimulating your lymph drainage system. If you are prone to allergies or cysts, this will be very helpful.
Fever Baths. Take a warm bath in
the evening and add one cup of Epsom salts to soothe, relax, and detox. You can increase the benefits of a fever bath by drinking 2-to3 cups of hot tea while in the bath to work up a sweat. Try this recipe: Simmer some fresh ginger slices in water, tossing in one tablespoon of dried yarrow flowers. Steep for 15 minutes, strain, and drink. Yarrow and ginger have been shown to stimulate sweating, which helps the body release toxins.
Take a News Break. Observe a
news fast for 3-to-7 days to limit toxic thoughts, which can undermine your health. Avoid news or other emotionally disturbing information from the Internet, magazines, movies, newspapers, radio, and television. Detoxing these "stressful" exposures and replacing them with deep breathing, relaxing activities like walking or yoga, or reading a book, can give your mind and body a much needed rest.

break from your routine of being inside your home, office, or car, and venture out to your favorite place in nature or a new place you have always wanted to go. Bring a journal with you and start listening to your body, and record what it is telling you. Surrounding yourself with nature and all its negative ions (which act positively on your mood) will help you de-stress and encourage the inherent wisdom of your body to come forth.
Detox Your Dinner. For seven nights, prepare a simple meal of liver detoxifying steamed vegetables like carrots, broccoli, artichokes, beets, and onions, along with a 4-ounce portion of protein simply prepared with a little bit of olive oil. Consider wild fish, organic lean meats, or lentils for your protein sources.
Detox Tea. For at least one week, try

limiting all of your beverages to just water and herbal teas. This will ease the stress on your kidneys, help flush retained fluids in your cells, and help filter your blood and liver. I recommend drinking 6-to-8 cups a day of the following tea to help "crowdout" less healthy beverages, maintain a state of fullness, reduce your appetite, and cleanse your liver and kidneys. In a quart of water, combine 2 tablespoons of each of the following and gently simmer the tea: burdock root, yellow dock root, dandelion leaf and root, licorice root, fennel, and ginger. Multiply the recipe accordingly to make larger batches, and drink it throughout the day.
Change Your Food Routine.
Decluttering and organizing your environment can help clear up your stagnant energy and free you physically and emotionally. Let go of papers, clothes, and boxes that you no longer use. This creates space and helps welcome new energy. If each one of us becomes an example of good health and healthy habits, we can inspire others to make healthy choices. Just as we tune up our cars and recycle for the environment, we must also regularly cleanse our bodies. Our bodies and the environment are reflections, or mirrors, of each other. As we cleanse our bodies, we cleanse our environment. If we all took it upon ourselves to cleanse, the world would be a much cleaner place!

Many of us unknowingly consume foods that we have allergic reactions to or that increase toxins in our bodies, causing symptoms like arthritis, headaches, water retention, and fatigue. The most common culprits are gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, and sugar. I suggest taking a break from all of these foods, or picking one that is predominant in your diet and taking a break from it. Often, if we simply eliminate foods that contain gluten (wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt) and replace them with brown rice, millet, or quinoa products, we can

Food
as Medicine for the Family
by Mark Mincolla Natural Health Care Expert
The present health care system and developing health care trends Hippocrates once said: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” There are two primary forms of medicine: Intervention and Prevention. Our present health care budget in America is $2.1 trillion per year. Only 1% is allocated for prevention. The World Health Organization’s publication of World Health Report 2000 judged the performance of health care and health care systems of all the world’s industrial nations. America’s present system of intervention finished 72nd in level of health in the world and 37th in overall health system’s performance. By comparison, the tiny nation of San Marino finished 5th and 3rd accordingly. One of the chief reasons for our poor standing is that we have not yet adopted a national program to educate the public on the art of disease prevention.
However, a growing number of Americans are beginning to take part in a culture shift toward accepting greater personal responsibility for better health through disease prevention. According to the CCAM (National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine) National Health Interview Survey 1997 CAM (Complimentary and Alternative Medicine) therapies (acupuncture, chiropractic, vitamins, herbs, mind-body etc.) are used by 62% of American adults. In addition, they found that out of pocket expenses relating to CAM in 1997 reached an estimated $27 billion. This figure is equal to the total spent for all U.S. physician services combined. They also found that total CAM visits between 1990-1997 rose from 427 million to 629 million far exceeding visits to all U.S. primary care physicians. Even with our evolving CAM interests there is still a tendency for reliance on the practitioner. Nutrition remains the single most powerful means of improving our health care system through greater self-reliance.
32 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
As long as the nation refuses to adopt a national disease prevention program (including nutrition education) the onus remains first on the family system and ultimately on each and every individual. The current health and nutritional status of the American family The McGovern Senate Sub-committee of 1972 was the first to look at the health and nutritional status of America. They heard 6 years of testimony from 1,100 of the world’s foremost scientific experts from 8 different countries and learned that 6 of the leading 10 causes of preventable death in America were directly related to diet. They estimated that 25% of death from virtually all disease was preventable through better nutrition alone. One of the primary reasons given for these disheartening estimates was, that 60% of the American diet was comprised of fat and sugar. The status of American nutrition has been de-evolving now for some time. Author of the landmark Bogaloosa Heart Study in the 1980’s, Dr. Gerald Baronson was quoted as saying: “If the present diet of our children doesn’t radically change, they will come to be known as the first generation of Americans not expected to live as long as their parents.” Today we know that Dr. Baronson’s prognostication is sadly coming true right before our eyes. In the 6-11 age group obesity has more than doubled in the last 20 years in the 11-19 age group obesity has more than tripled in that time. The Key Problems High fat and sugar consumption continue to plague the health of the American family. A recent survey showed that 56% of Americans eat at least 1 meal per day away from home. This one meal accounts for 25% of the total fat and sugar consumed in the present American diet. Among those aged 11-19, fast food consumption has increased by 166% over the past 20 years. Of the $940 million spent by the USDA on food for the nation’s school lunch program only ¼ is spent on fruits
and vegetables, mostly canned and frozen. Meanwhile, nearly 75% of all schools in America fail to meet the USDA’s dietary fat limit of 30%. Simple sugars (sucrose, fructose, and glucose), and processed white flour starches convert to artery clogging fats increasing the risks of heart disease. In addition, they increase the overall rate of inflammation produced in the body, inflammation that triggers a number of diseases. There are a number of very dangerous, bad fats still finding their way into the American diet. Saturated, hydrogenated and trans fats commonly found in children’s candy, crackers, cookies and snacks continue to pose the greatest cardiovascular and cancer risks, and also contribute to the chronic inflammation that lies at the root of many diseases. Self-induced inflammatory disease represents more than 80% of all the disease Americans suffer from. Beyond the obvious Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, Heart disease and Cancer are also inflammatory diseases. All inflammatory disease is caused by eicosanoids (super hormones), produced by a fatty acid called arachadonic acid, obtained from: egg yolks, red meat, peanuts, dairy and processed sugars. Anti-inflammatory hormones are produced by a fatty acid called alpha linolenic acid obtained from: fatty fish, flax seeds, non-fermented soy products, walnuts and pumpkin seeds. High consumption of fermented foods such as: yeasted foods, vinegars and marinades along with mold and fungal foods such as: peanuts, pistachio nuts and bleu cheese, increase the risks of single cell bacterial proliferation and infection. Moreover, according to two-time Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Otto Warburg, the primary cause of cancer is the fermentation of sugar.

Empty calories fail to provide nutrient support, and antioxidant protection from preventable sickness and disease. According to noted author and National Institute of Health consultant Dr. Patrick Quillin, the average American consumes: 756 doughnuts, 60 lbs. of cakes and cookies, 23 gallons of ice cream, 7 lbs. of potato chips, 22 lbs. of candy, 200 sticks of gum, 356 servings of soda pop, 90 lbs. of fat and 134 lbs. of sugar per year. Data recently collected by the United States Department of Agriculture showed that on any given day: 41% of Americans did not eat any fruit, 82% did not eat green vegetables, 72% did not obtain an adequate supply of dietary vitamin C, 80% did not obtain an adequate supply of dietary vitamin A, 84% did not obtain an adequate

supply of dietary fiber. Human genome research has revealed that the average human body is assaulted by 30,000 disease triggering DNA attacks every day. Thus, the USDA recommends that each of us obtain at least 3,000 cell protecting ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) units per day (obtainable from whole foods only). Sadly, they report that the average American fails to reach 1,000. Keep in mind that 1 serving of berries, or beans contains approximately 13,000, and ¼ tsp of herbal spice such as clove contains 260,000. The American calorie intake has never been so empty. The Key Solutions Dietary recommendations: Decrease the consumption of: processed sugar, red meat, dairy, peanuts, egg yolks, fried foods, prepackaged foods, canned foods, frozen foods, vinegars, yeasts, and high fructose corn sweeteners (HFCS’s). Read labels and avoid: sugars higher than 9 grams per serving, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats, trans fats, saturated fats higher than 5 grams per serving, white processed grain products, sugar added and artificially sweetened foods and beverages. Increase the consumption of: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins (fatty fish, poultry, soy, beans and legumes), unprocessed, high fiber, whole grain products, organic spices, soy and rice dairy replacement beverages, herbal teas, pure water (distilled and low TDS spring water) in the diet. continued on page 35 . . .

Foods
to Boost Brain Health
Boost your brain's overall heath and enhance its day to day functioning by including these foods in a healthy well-balanced diet.
Blueberries - Well known for their role in improving motor skills and overall learning capacity, blueberries are rich in antioxidants that are great for boosting your brain and helping to reverse the effects of aging on the brain. Most berries contain fisetin and flavenoid, which are great for improving your memory and allowing you to easily recall past events.
Fish - Omega-3 rich wild salmon, tuna, and herring help brain function by providing more oxygen, allowing it to retain new information while remembering old information. It also coats neurons with good fat, allowing them to move easier through the brain. Eating one serving of fish a week can decrease your chances of getting Alzheimer’s.
Leafy Green Vegetables -Vegetables such as cabbage, kale, spinach, collards, turnip greens and others are rich in vitamins, folate, and iron, all of which are essential for memory recall and increasing cognitive activity.
Nuts/Seeds - Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, folate, vitamin E, vitamin B6 and zinc all of which allow you to think more clearly. Choose seeds and nuts rich in thiamine and magnesium, which are great for memory, cognitive function, and brain nourishment.
Whole Grains - Rich in folate, thiamine, vitamin B6, and zinc, the nutrients found in whole grains increase blood flow to the brain, improving the quality and quantity of brain function and recall.

Discover the Healing Power of CranioSacral Therapy
by Martha Tassinari
Is This You?
If you are open and receptive to complementary ways of healing, ready to make your life a priority, and willing to do the work, CranioSacral Therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Have you tried conventional physical therapy, medication or surgery without lasting results? Have you had x-rays and MRI’s that have come back negative, but still have pain and no one can give you any answers? You have tried everything, yet your doctor thinks that your pain is all in your head and wants to put you on anti-depressants. If this sounds like you, take heart, you’re not alone. There is hope!
As a physical therapist for over 17 years, I have seen many patients frustrated and discouraged with the care they have received, along with the disappointment of the inability to overcome their pain and return to physical activity. I understand your pain! Having suffered from chronic back pain for many continued on page 40 . . .

years, I searched for alternative methods of treatment, including CranioSacral Therapy. This gentle therapy helped me to heal at many levels and allowed me to get back to the things I loved to do!
Craniosacral Therapy Helps To Identify the Source of Your Pain
Back pain is one of the most common problems people have today. About 60-80% of the adult U.S. population has lower back pain. It is the leading cause of visits to the doctor, hospitalization, work disability, and surgery.
It is important to identify the root cause of the problem. You need more than just symptom relief. If only the symptoms of your pain are addressed, your therapy will be less effective and you may experience further dysfunction in other parts of your body and just feel temporary relief.
Traditional healthcare has not been an effective form of therapy for chronic back pain and this is seen in the increasing number of people seeking alternative therapies. The standard medical treatments consist of medication and surgery. Surgery is certainly necessary and beneficial in many cases but there are alternatives you might consider before electing to undergo any surgical procedure.
CranioSacral Therapy is considered a light touch therapy that releases tensions in the central nervous system which affects all other systems in the body. This is the key component with this type of healing method. By addressing the central nervous system, this form of therapy is able to release tensions deep within the body which help relieve pain and restrictions, and improves whole-body health and performance.
The most important challenge people face is an accurate diagnosis. The majority of conventional medicine and therapy consists of treating the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem.
Craniosacral Therapy Effectively Treats Back Pain by Utilizing a “Total Body Approach” To Healing:
For example, if you are experiencing shoulder pain, a typical therapist will treat your shoulder. If you are experiencing headaches your therapist may treat your neck. These areas of pain most likely are not the root cause of your problem. I have seen many people who suffer from migraines and headaches with the root cause of the problem originating at the sacrum (lower back region). Likewise, people experiencing shoulder pain often have a problem originating from a rotated pelvis or postural deficits. Many times people may experience pain in one area of the body but the root cause of the problem may be in a completely different location.
www.medspane.com 40 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
It is common that over time, imbalances in one body part may create an imbalance in another. For example, maybe one side of your pelvis is higher than the other which may be causing an elevated shoulder which in turn may be feeding into postural changes in your neck and causing headaches. For this reason, therapy should integrate a rebalancing of your spine and fascia (connective tissue). In addition to the physical component, it is also important to address the emotional factor. Both physical and emotional trauma
can affect our ability to heal and for total body healing to occur it is important to address the mind/body connection. The CranioSacral therapist treats you as a whole person and takes you through each step of the healing process. It is part of my treatment approach to teach stress management and relaxation techniques. Martha Tassinari, PT/Certified Craniosacral Therapist Owner, Martha Tassinari, is a licensed physical therapist with a B.S. from Northeastern University. She has studied CranioSacral Therapy extensively with the Upledger Institute since 1997, Myofascial Release since 2003. She is passionate about returning her patients back to life, and assisting them to reach their full potential. She is dedicated to helping people realize the importance of the mind body connection and how it affects chronic pain and disease. www.southshorehealing.com

I know there are a lot of readers who in a perfect world would be doing an hour of yoga every morning, meditating during lunch break, thinking only pure and grateful thoughts throughout the day, and eating a 100 percent raw, vegan, organic diet at all three meals. There is a tendency to want to make a resolution to “do it all” at once. And that might work for about .001 percent of you, but for the rest of us, it’s more about incremental change.

something achievable. Breakfast, for example, is so doable. Wait till you get to the breakfast section — we have lots of delicious, easy-to-make recipes for you, including smoothies, oatmeal, and granola. Plus, you can make a smoothie any time you get hungry! Once breakfast is conquered, adding in a salad for lunch is a breeze. You can even learn how to bump up that
What works best for most people is a steady, gradual, and gentle movement toward a healthier, happier you. Setting unreasonably ambitious goals is only setting yourself up for disappointment and disempowerment. In diplomacy, steps toward resolution are referred to as “confidence-building measures.” Since we’d all like to have more peace, it might be a good idea to think of our own progress this way: small, achievable steps that are doable and help create a momentum in the right direction. So, how about ten minutes of yoga and stretching every morning? What about a fifteen-minute walk before you start your workday? Perhaps five minutes of meditation before you turn in at night (tuning in before you turn in). Or how about one totally healthful meal each day? Or maybe set a goal of eating raw only five or six days a week, so you don’t have to face the prospect of life without that Grand Slam breakfast! Start with
salad until it’s a delicious and filling nutritional powerhouse — check out chapter 10, Making a Salad a Meal. And then you are on to soups, desserts, dips, breads, crackers, and more. So have fun, and enjoy your food!
Dealing with Food Addictions
Those of us who have grown up on a contemporary Western diet have food addictions galore. I know I do. Fortunately, my three-year-old daughter does not. She
44 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
has never eaten foods like refined flours and sugars, highly processed foods, meats, or dairy, all of which create negative addictions. We are helping our daughter create a very healthy and positive relationship with food. But most of us were brought up with a lessthan-optimal diet and a relationship to foods that includes an emotional attachment to eating them. We often have deep-seated and mostly unconscious feelings of giving ourselves a treat when we choose to eat many foods that we now know are far from optimal.
life. And life as a smoker always begins with the next cigarette. So, with food addictions I try to do the same thing, changing “Do I want to eat a piece of pizza?” to “Do I want to live life as a pizza eater?” While asking the second question, I
We can help the next generation by giving them a healthier start. But for the vast majority of us, we must begin by recognizing that we ourselves are food addicts — and not getting down on ourselves because of it! It simply is what it is, and now it is up to us to decide what to do about it. Many people who learn about the incredible benefits of raw and living foods try to use willpower to overcome their food addictions. While this will work for a while, usually willpower alone doesn’t work in the long run. Instead, it’s best to take the opportunity to become aware of our beliefs and attitudes about food, educate ourselves, and be loving and gentle with ourselves as we evolve toward a healthier relationship with food. I will give you an example. There have been times I have really felt like having a piece of traditional baked pizza. This is not terribly surprising considering the fact that I grew up in an Italian American family, that my dad makes an incredible pizza, and that he also taught me how to make one at a young age. Consequently I have had an emotional attachment to pizza. So how do I handle the hankering? When I first feel the desire for a slice, I usually think back to when I was giving up smoking many years ago. The trick was not to ask myself “Do I want to smoke a cigarette?” but to ask “Do I want to live life as a smoker?” A single cigarette is not going to significantly harm me. However, living life as a smoker would seriously compromise my health, as well as having many other negative effects on my
envision a very round version of me eating pizza (as I mentioned, my last name, Rotondi, means “the round ones” in Italian). I really don’t want to be round. I like being slim, light, and energized. So this thought often helps me get past the pizza hankering. However, sometimes the hankering comes back — again and again. What to do? Use willpower to suppress my desire for pizza? If a desire for a specific food comes up repeatedly, I will go out and eat a small portion of that food. However, I will do it consciously. I will tune in to how my body feels before I eat the pizza and then focus on how the pizza smells, looks, and tastes. I will also be conscious of
45 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
continued on page 47 . . .
how I feel five minutes after I eat it, and thirty minutes, and an hour later. Usually what happens is that the first bite is okay but mildly unsatisfying. The second bite is really not a treat at all, and I realize that what I am eating tastes a bit like cardboard (keep in mind that when you eat a raw-food diet for any length of time, your taste buds change and cooked foods don’t taste the same anymore). Then after five minutes I feel a heaviness in my stomach. After half an hour, I feel lethargic and already wish I hadn’t eaten the pizza.
extra cheese! It’s better to get out of judgment mode and work on evolving our relationship with food. The more we exercise our body consciousness and really listen to our bodies, the more we will replace old food habits, thought patterns, and addictions.
The point is that if we try to suppress all our cravings, in the end we get wound so tight that the spring may break and we might run out and eat three large pepperoni pizzas with

Information, Inspiration and Expiration
by Bernie Siegel, MD
Most medical school applications of today state
that the candidate for admission is interested in and fascinated by the human body. The problem is that people come with the body and are not treated properly and disturb physicians who have been given medical information but not a medical education. An education teaches you how to deal with and care for the human experience of illness and not just treat the diagnosis. A medical education would also teach the skill of communication so that we do not kill with our words, but heal with them just as we heal with a scalpel and do not wound with it, since individuals are not statistics. One of our sons showed me how wordswordswords become swordswordswords when not used properly. What I have found is that information does not change people. The obese, alcoholics, smokers and nonconforming patients all know their behavior is not good for them. So why do they do it? It gets back to a lack of messages from parents, teachers, clergy and other authority figures of love for the individual. Ugly ducklings rarely find out on their own that they are swans. In one study a loved child had one fourth the illness rate of an unloved child by middle age. I see pet owners with cats and dogs who have lung cancer or asthma to smoke outdoors and save their beloved pets. killing yourself is not questioned. Nine hundred years ago Maimonides stated, “People would suffer fewer illnesses if they took as good care of themselves as they do their animals.” Times haven’t changed. I have found that approximately 20% of patients are what I call respants. Responsible participants who display and are interested in learning survival behavior. What I do for the other 80% is love them and give them return appointments no matter what they do. With
time and my love some begin to realize they are worth loving and caring for and begin to care for and about themselves. In a sense they realize they are swans too and divine children. Then the information I present to them is utilized to achieve better health and survival statistics. As I said I can’t sell them the idea of being a respant or site better statistics because they aren’t interested in working at living. They have grown up hearing there is something wrong with them. So guilt shame and blame are what they are dealing with and if you ask them to fight for their lives it is one more thing they won’t get right. Sad but true. I often ask people to answer questions, join support groups and draw pictures of themselves and their treatment and disease. That eliminates many patients because they are not artists, could do it wrong or don’t want to work at surviving. If I can inspire them and breath life into them then changes will occur. Now they are waking up to life and what makes them happy. This is not about self interest but paying attention to their bodies and what feels good for them to do. Monday morning we have more heart attacks, suicides and illnesses and it is because of how we feel about our meaningless lives and work we don’t want to do. I help people reclaim their lives and be reborn so every cell in their body is given a message about the joys of life each day. Have I seen people expected to die in months cured of their disease by living this way? Yes. Do I recommend it as the sole treatment? No, because I know how hard it is to ‘live in your heart and have magic happen’ and ‘leave all your troubles to God.’ I do, however, point out the benefits of love to the individual and those they are in contact with. When people are unwilling to do this I let their families know that they need to take care of themselves too. Why? Because there
47 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
is something called Siegel’s sign in physical diagnosis. When a family walks into your office and everyone looks sick except one person you can be sure the one who looks well is the one with the illness and is using it to manipulate everyone else in the family. I always guarantee them a cure on their next visit. They never come back to that office again and always arrange future meetings in the ER or other safe places where a cure is not available. What do respants do that represents survival behavior? They take action, seek wisdom, perform meditation and imagery and have spiritual support. Spiritual support may come from a religion but some religions have regulations that create guilt and lead to feelings that one deserves God’s punishment. Disease is no different than when one loses one’s car keys. You don’t say God wants me to walk home; you look for your keys. When you are ill you have lost your health and respants look for it to be restored. They live a life with meaning, express their feelings and appropriate anger, ask for help when it is needed, learn to say no to things they do not want to do, make their own decisions about treatment, bring play into their lives, deal with feelings of depression and learn from them and do not live a role but an authentic life. In essence life becomes a labor pain in which we birth ourselves and because we are making the choices the delivery has less pain, complications and side effects. About twenty years ago I met Susan Duffy who had developed scleroderma and was not given much time to live. She was an enraged lady over her illness and her difficult life. Her parents and sister were alcoholics who committed suicide and were angry at her for not doing so. When I met her all I could do was listen and it turned out to be what Helen Keller advises since ‘deafness is darker by far then blindness.’ When she emptied out her rage in 1987 she wrote me a letter telling me that she had let love into her prison and it had touched every negative item in it and transformed them into something meaningful. She is alive today and a member of our support group and one of
my teachers. I will present her list for survivors at the end of this article. Eight years ago my phone rings and someone asks me for Jack Kevorkian’s home number. I learn why Becky wants to die and tell her she is a child of God and to send me some drawings. I don’t tell people don’t smoke or commit suicide I say I love you and God Loves you and why hurt a child of God. Becky and I have worked on her pain and she is alive today and I am her CD or Chosen Dad. What is my role? To keep loving her no matter what she does. I don’t have to like her behavior while I continue to love her. That is very different then telling her there is something wrong with her versus her actions. Becky has helped me with others who are considering suicide and it is something the medical students of today need to realize. When I ask medical students to draw themselves as doctors the majority of the drawings are totally depersonalizing. Some show no human beings only computers, instruments, diplomas and books. One drawing I have shows a kneeling young man handing the patient a tissue and that is what Becky said. When someone responds to her needs she is given the will to live and it may simply be a tissue. I do not criticize people for their choices but try and help them find what is right for them. In doing so I help them find new options and paths to healing their lives and hopefully their illnesses as well. Death is not a failure and is inevitable. I remind people to not try and avoid death but to enjoy life. If you try and avoid death you end up very angry when you find out life has a 100% mortality rate but when you enjoy life the bonus is a longer healthier one. We each need to find our path and way to healing. The messages are age old and can be found in the literature of great spiritual leaders, the US Marines training manual, the writings of children with cancer and others. Two things are key elements. One is the inspiration I discusses and the other is one’s behavior. Just as multiple personalities disassociate so one must disassociate with the old self and behave as if you were the person you want to be. You rehearse and practice and find the coaches to help guide you. That is the role I see myself in

today. A coach for the inspired respant who wants to learn survival behavior. How will you know one when you meet them? Ask them these questions: I am taking you to dinner what do you want? How would you introduce yourself to God? What should I hang in the lobby of public buildings with a sign above it that says, come and see how beautiful and meaningful life is? The correct answers are: The response should
be within 5-10 seconds demonstrating they are in touch with their feelings and not thinking about fat content, cost, or what you want. The introduction is that you and God don’t need an introduction you are one or a child of God and last you hang up not a picture of a baby, rainbow or flower but a mirror. Now let me close with a list from Susan for survivors.
THE FOLLOWING ARE FROM SUSAN DUFFY’S SECRETS OF LIVING FOR SURVIVORS 1. Trust yourself enough to become your own teacher. 2. Cultivate your own sense of being and spirituality. 3.

Our problems may come in different shapes and sizes but the solutions are the same. 19. Embrace life it will hug you back. 20. Don’t have a need to control. 21. Allow the order of things to take place. God knows what He is doing. 22. Enjoy the peace knowing someone bigger and stronger is in charge. 23. Don’t make too many schedules you will go crazy. 24.

Doctors get paid for it. 36. Letting go of those we love is the greatest gift of love we can give them. 37. Live each day as if it were your last. You will have a lot of great days. 38. Don’t live a life of confusion you will get lost. 39. Love unconditionally those unable to love back and you will be set free. 40. Pray, meditate, sit quietly, take walks. 41. Look up to something bigger than you are, life, love, God. 42. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Then move on life is too short. 43. Live a life of prayer and you can get through anything. 44. Learn to laugh at yourself and you will make friends with yourself. 45. Know you are a child of God. 46. God loves you even when you think no one else does. 47. Be your own person in all things. 48. When you know yourself other people will know you too. 49. Learn to accept criticism, advice and suggestions. They can help you. 50. Be humble when you receive praise. 51. Don’t get stuck following one religion, group or person move forward. 52. Life holds the wisdom, answers and solutions that any person could ever need their life. 53. Have the courage to explore. 54. Open to life. Feel it, experience it, live it and you will learn to fly (transcend). In conclusion let me say live in the moment as children and animals do. To put it in the words of one of my patients, ‘I want to be dying forever.’ If we live with a sense of time we learn how to spend it and that it is everything and ultimately what is immortal is not our bodies but our love. 51 Healthy Living Magazine Online Issue November 2011
