F
or those of you who read Natural Awakenings every month, discussing the reasons for, and benefits of, detoxing and cleansing is probably unnecessary. The issue of “why” is obvious. In our lead article this month, “Natural Ways to Cleanse Body & Mind,” the writer points out that there are over 100 chemicals present in everyday products that are hazardous to humans and the environment. Those are the ones we know about. What we’ve tried to do is provide a well-rounded group of articles that describe the background on cleansing and detoxing, then explain natural ways to approach ridding your body (and environment) of toxins that affect your health, both long and short-term. And we even have a follow-up piece in our Natural Pet section. Dogs need detoxing too. We also hope you enjoy the discussion we had with Maria Rodale on the future of organic farming. For those of you who don’t know Rodale, she is the CEO and Chair of Rodale, Inc., publishers of many best-selling health and wellness books and magazines such as Women’s Health, Prevention, and Organic Gardening. Certainly, she has her finger on the pulse of the organic farming industry in our country. And we’ve added a companion piece from a local medical professional who is also an avid organic gardener. Another article in particular we’d like to make sure you don’t miss is Power Napping. This is a topic we have wanted to cover for some time. The more we learn about the benefits of napping the more sense it makes and the more we recommend it. There are actually ‘best practices’ when it comes to getting the most out of power napping. If you’re interested in getting a mid-day energy boost, reducing stress, increasing stamina and more, check it out. And there’s lots more this month to help you live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. If you get the chance, visit our Facebook page and let us know what you think of the articles as we post them (some special extras that are not in the magazine). As always, of course, feel free to call or email us. We’d love to hear from you. So until next month, stay happy and healthy...naturally!

Plan Now for Yoga Teacher Training 200 hour course comes to Chesterfield this Fall
I
ORGANIC ORGANIC
HAIRCOLORING COLORING HAIR
f you have thought about deepening your yoga practice on both a physical and spiritual level, ready for a life changing experience or looking to connect with like-minded people that may become friends for life, yoga teacher training may be just the
thing to help guide you on this path. Theresa May, owner of Chesterfield's Santosha Yoga, is pleased to announce her 200 hour Teacher Training Course starting Sunday, October 15. Santosha Yoga’s program includes studying The Yoga Sutras by Master Pantanjali, a silent retreat, guest teachers with advanced training in their topics, unlimited free yoga during the training, meditation, asana and so much more. "At Santosha Yoga," explains May, "we sit down with each interested student to make sure our teacher training program is a good fit. And we believe it is important for prospective students to do their homework, since not all yoga programs are 'created equal.' For example, does the program fit their schedule, do they connect with the director, the energy of the studio, do they have a consistent yoga practice, and, if the program is registered with Yoga Alliance (Y.A.), does the program follow Y.A. guidelines?" "Although our next Teacher Training starts in October," adds May, "and it's months away, it's not too soon to plant the seed and consider over the summer months." Santosha Yoga is located at 48774 Gratiot Avenue, Chesterfield. For more information visit SantoshaYogaMi.com to download the Yoga Teacher Training catalog. After review, call Theresa May at 586-949-5515 to set up an appointment or visit for a class. All new students receive a free week. See ad page 54.

newsbriefs Ozone Therapy Offers Hope to Lyme Patients
2017 Wildlife Habitat Grants Available Through the Michigan DNR
T
n alternative health clinic, LifeWorks Wellness Center is now routinely offering ozone therapy to Lyme disease patients as part of their treatment program. The clinic’s Medical Director, David Minkoff, M.D. is on the board of the American Academy of Ozonotherapy and is considered to be a pioneer in the use of ozone for Lyme disease. Minkoff states, “When someone is diagnosed with Lyme, it can be devastating as it can be such a debilitating disease. Most of the patients we see have tried numerous treatment programs but have seen little improvement. Their research leads them to read about the benefits of ozone and then to ultimately find our clinic.” Ozone therapy differs from other Lyme treatment programs as it can substantially increase the blood’s oxygen which, in turn, facilitates healing in many different ways. It can detoxify the liver, de-clog the blood cells, enhance the immune system and kill viruses and bacteria. Based in Clearwater, Florida, LifeWorks offers hope to Lyme patients from all over the country with their uniquely effective, multi-protocol program.
he Michigan Department of Natural Resources is accepting Wildlife Habitat Grant Program applications now through July 21. Projects featuring habitat enhancement for game species will be given priority. The Wildlife Habitat Grant Program, which began in 2013, is funded Wildlife Habitat Grant in 2015 to restore with a portion of the rev- native grasses and shrubs in Grand enue from hunting and Traverse County. fishing licenses sold each year. The DNR administers the program through a cooperative effort between its Wildlife Division and Grants Management section. “This is an exciting opportunity to partner with others in the state to increase the habitat available for game species in Michigan and to enhance the existing habitat for the benefit of hunters, trappers and wildlife viewers,” says DNR Wildlife Division Chief Russ Mason. Funding is available for local, state, federal and tribal governments, for-profit and nonprofit groups and individuals through an open, competitive process. Minimum grant amounts will be set at $15,000, with the maximum being the amount of funds available for that grant cycle. The 2017 overall available grant amount is approximately $1 million. The main objective of the Wildlife Habitat Grant Program is to enhance and improve the quality and quantity of game species habitat in support of goal 2 of the Wildlife Division’s strategic plan, managing habitat for sustainable wildlife populations and wildlifebased recreation. Applications must be postmarked no later than July 21 to be considered for funding. Successful grant applications will be announced by October 2.

esearch from the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, has established that structured physical activity following a stroke can significantly improve cognitive function in survivors. The study used data from 13 clinical trials that included 735 participants to analyze general cognitive improvement, executive function, attention and working memory, as well as the impact of different types of physical activity. Researchers found that exercise following a stroke produced cognitive improvements in both attention and speed in processing information. They further discovered that a combination of aerobic exercise and strength training produced the maximum cognitive improvements. “We found that a program as short as 12 weeks is effective at improving cognition, and even patients with chronic stroke can experience improvements in their cognition with an exercise intervention,” says lead author Lauren E. Oberlin, a graduate student at the university.

Coal Phase-Out Boosts Health
T
he province of Ontario began a complete phase-out of its coal-fired power plants in 2005, with all of them having closed by 2015. While the costly measure was expected to produce minor air quality improvements, officials predicted that the resulting health benefits would accrue $3 billion in annual healthcare savings for the community. Realized savings can be seen in the drastic reduction of smog days in Ontario, down to just one since 2014. “Let’s compare that to 2005, when residents of the Greater Toronto Area suffered through 53 smog days while coal, with its toxic emissions, provided 19 percent of the province’s power,” says Vanessa Foran, president and CEO of The Asthma Society of Canada. “It’s obvious that shutting Ontario’s coal plants has helped clean the air; it’s also given a new lease on life to millions that suffer with asthma.” More proof of the medical benefits come from an assessment conducted by Toronto Public Health in 2014. It reported a 23 percent reduction in air pollution-related premature deaths in the city between 2000 and 2011, as well as a 41 percent reduction in related hospital admissions during the same period.
Unique Inflamed Gut Linked to Type 1 Diabetes Magic mine/Shutterstock.com
R
esearchers in Milan, Italy, have found that individuals with Type 1 diabetes display a unique inflammatory signature and microbiome in their digestive tract. The study examined biopsies from 54 patients that underwent endoscopies at the city’s San Raffaele Hospital between 2009 and 2015. The samples came from each patient’s duodenum, the upper part of the small intestine, and allowed scientists to directly assess the bacteria in the digestive tract, rather than relying on stool samples. The results of the samples were compared to gut bacteria from a control group of healthy individuals without Type 1 diabetes and others with celiac disease. Researchers found that the diabetes group showed more signs of gut inflammation than the other groups, and it was linked to 10 specific genes, also marking them as having a unique combination of bacteria. “By exploring this, we may be able to find new ways to treat the disease by targeting the unique gastrointestinal characteristics of individuals with Type 1 diabetes,” explains the study’s senior author, Dr. Lorenzo Piemonti, with the hospital’s Diabetes Research Institute.

Organic Sulfur Anaerobic Cellular Metabolism
I
Part 8
t’s hard to believe that we live our lives without knowing about Organic Sulfur. Yet, it may prove to be some of the most important information you’ll ever receive. In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for his discovery that the root cause of cancer was acidosis (too much acid in the body fluids) and hypoxia (oxygen deficiency). Warburg conducted 8 years earlier revealed that cancer cells are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen. What Dr. Warburg described was anaerobic cellular metabolism in the carbon dioxide or waste gas which remains in the cell when oxygen is not transported into the cell. Gas transports is cellular respiration, no new oxygen in to PUSH the carbon dioxide out. Research shows that viral infections are also anaerobic. Oxygen is the enemy of all viruses whether due to its presence in the cell or the flexibility of the cell membrane which makes the virus incapable of tearing into the cell. Many folks with arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, osteoarthritis Cardiovascular disease are leading better lives now that Organic Sulfur is a part of it. Michael Dubay is founder of Bozoomer, a Michigan based company and one of the few that produces Organic Sulfur in the U.S. For more information, visit Bozoomer.com or call 800-937-0166.

Colicky Babies Respond to Acupuncture
R
esearch from Sweden has found that acupuncture helps reduce the crying of colicky babies. The study monitored 147 babies between the ages of 2 and 8 weeks with colic at four separate Swedish public child health centers. The babies were divided into three groups; each visited the clinic twice a week for two weeks. One group received “gold standard” care plus five minutes of minimal acupuncture, one group received standard care plus five minutes of acupuncture and one group received standard care only. After two weeks, both acupuncture groups showed a reduction in crying time by the second week and at a later follow-up. More babies dropped to less than three hours of crying per day in the acupuncture groups than the control group, removing them from the colic category altogether. No adverse effects were recorded.
Tax and Pricing Policies Spur Healthier Eating
A
meta-study from Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts, documents a revealing relationship between diet and food prices. The researchers found that taxation of unhealthy foods and price reductions of healthy foods help shift consumers to healthier purchases. They reviewed data from 11 studies on the impact of adding tariffs to unhealthy foods that lead to higher prices and 19 studies that examined the effects on the demand of reducing the prices of healthy foods. They discovered that consumers purchased 14 percent more fruits and vegetables when prices were reduced by 10 percent. Other healthy food price reductions produced similar results, with a 16 percent increase in consumption with each 10 percent price drop. The researchers examined the impact of increases in the price of sugary drinks and fast foods. Following 10 percent price hikes, consumption of these items decreased by 7 percent and 3 percent, respectively. “The global food system is exacting a staggering toll on human health, and this is very costly, both in terms of real healthcare expenses and lost productivity,” says Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, senior author of the meta-study and dean of the university’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. “Our findings suggest that subsidies and taxes are a highly effective tool for normalizing the price of foods toward their true societal cost. This will both prevent disease and reduce spiraling healthcare costs, which are causing a tremendous strain on both private businesses and government budgets.”

Tart Cherry Aids Runner Performance
A
study of distance runners by Texas A&M University, in College Station, determined that shortterm supplementation of dried tart cherry powder improved running times, decreased inflammation and increased muscle metabolism and immunity. The researchers divided 27 endurance-trained young adult athletes into two groups. Eleven participants were given a daily powdered tart cherry supplement for 10 days, and 16 were given a rice flour placebo. All completed a half-marathon near the end of the 10-day trial. The researchers tested fasting blood samples and a quadriceps muscle soreness rating prior to the run, 60 minutes after the run and 24 and 48 hours post-run. The tart cherry group reported 13 percent faster average running times, as well as significantly lower inflammatory markers. They also reported 34 percent lower quadriceps soreness prior to the run. Tart cherry supplementation also increased immunity and resulted in better muscle metabolism.

Acupuncture for Treating Chronic Pain Conditions by Rhonda Sousley, Ph.D
N
o longer considered an exotic curiosity, acupuncture is now widely accepted by the medical community as well as the millions of Americans who have experienced its benefits. A recent survey found that almost 3.5 million Americans have had acupuncture in the previous year. Acupuncture, in which fine needles or light, are applied to the skin, has come a long way since 1971, when it was first introduced in the U.S. In 1996, the FDA classified acupuncture needles as medical devices giving it the first U.S. seal of approval. In the 20 years since, numerous studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for many conditions. A 2012 study found acupuncture to be effective in treating these chronic pain conditions: Back/neck pain, osteoarthritis, headaches and shoulder pain. The National Institutes of Health call the study, “the most rigorous evidence to date that acupuncture may be helpful for chronic pain.” Doctors are eager to find a drug-free approach to pain treatment in light of the dangers of opioids. Opioids are the class of powerful pain medications that include codeine, morphine, OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin. The CDC has called deaths from opioid overdoses “an epidemic” as drug overdoses now kill more people than gun homicides and car crashes combined. Rhonda Sousley received her Ph.D. in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Guanzhou University in China. She is a former member of the Michigan Acupuncture Board and lectures at the University of Michigan.

Combo Probiotics Ease Hay Fever
A
study from the University of Florida, in Gainesville, has found that the probiotic combination of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria (sold as Kyo-Dophilus) helps relieve the symptoms of seasonal allergies. Researchers split 173 healthy adults with mild seasonal allergies into two groups during the height of the spring allergy season. The first group was given the probiotic combination, while the other group received a placebo. The subjects filled out a weekly online survey for eight weeks about their allergy symptoms and discomfort levels. The probiotic combination resulted in fewer allergy-related nasal symptoms plus quality-of-life improvements. www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

Bee Killers
A study in the journal Nature Communications examined wild bee populations relative to the use of controversial neonic (neonicotinoid) pesticides from 1994 to 2011, and discovered that extinction rates paralleled their use on plants throughout the country. The 34 species analyzed experienced a 10 percent population drop across the board, with five of the species seeing a decrease of 20 percent or more, and the most-impacted group declining by 30 percent. Researchers say this indicates that up to half of the population decline could be attributed to the use of neonics. “It contributes, but there is a bigger picture,” says Jeffrey Pettis, an entomologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Beltsville Bee Laboratory, in Maryland. Other factors are thought to include parasites such as varroa mites and nosema fungus (a bacterial disease known as foulbrood) plus viruses, drought and loss of habitat. Meanwhile, the Friends of the Earth (FOE) environmental group has launched a petition calling on the Ace and True Value hardware companies to follow Lowe’s and Home Depot’s example of phasing out the pesticides. FOE says, “If these garden retailers don’t act fast, they’ll lose customers. A new poll shows that 66 percent of Americans prefer to shop at Lowe’s and Home Depot because they’ve committed to stop selling bee-killing pesticides.” Take action at Tinyurl.com/BanNeonicsPetition.
Astonishing Agriculture

Food Grows Without Soil or Groundwater Proponents of GMO (genetically modified) food may argue that the technique is necessary because the world is running out of resources. However, agricultural startup Sundrop Farms, with offices in the UK and Australia, has developed high-tech greenhouse facilities that apply solutions to grow crops with less reliance on finite natural resources than conventional greenhouse production. In 2010, Sundrop Farms opened a pilot facility in Port Augusta, South Australia, that is combining seawater and sunlight to grow food in the middle of the desert, unaffected by climate change, biotech land grabs, drought, floods and pestilence. They are using coconut husks, 23,000 mirrors to reflect solar power and desalinated seawater on a hydroponic farm of just under 50 acres to grow 17,000 metric tons of nonGMO food every year. Built at a reported cost of $200 million, the facility has a year-round growing season. In winter, its greenhouse operates with the help of 39 megawatts of clean energy from solar power. Coles Supermarkets has signed a 10-year contract for the exclusive right to sell the company’s produce. Natural Awakenings Magazine

With so many companies selling essential oils, are you confused????
How to Choose Essential Oils
“We take the stewardship of our planet seriously. Our State of the Art production process brings you the purest (essential) oils on Earth. We call it Seed To Seal®. It’s not a slogan — it’s our Calling.” (By the Founder of YOUNG LIVING™ ESSENTIAL OILS )
Y
OUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS — established over 20 years ago — laid the foundation for the company’s total commitment to using the purist seed, sustainable cultivation, optimum distillation, extensive testing of each batch of oils, and quality control inspection of each bottle to assure the purest, most potent essential oils available in the world. (SeedToSeal.com)
Today, YOUNG LIVING’S Vision has grown into a world wide, essential-oil trend, and the trend is fueled by the consumer’s strong desire to by-pass toxin-laden, synthetic scents used in many products. Unfortunately, as with any trend, many competitive companies have been spawned that attempt to convince the consumer that their products are “pure essential oils” too, but instead may utilize synthetic oil imitations, or oils made from genetically modified seeds, or oils diluted with carrier oils, or oils distilled from plants grown with pesticides and/or herbicides –all of which distorts, weakens and chemically changes the innate power of essential oils,
Y
OUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS set the standard for authenticity 20 years ago, and that same high standard is still our “Calling” today — via our strict, Seed To Seal requirements used on all our company-owned farms and distilleries (in Utah; Idaho; France; Ecuador; British Columbia; Croatia; Israel, Taiwan) as well as on our Certified Partner-farms around the world.

GMO Studies Compromised by Conflicts of Interest
We test hormone levels to ensure proper balance.
An article published by the journal PLOS One reflects the opinion of researchers affiliated with France’s National Institute for Agricultural Research that a large portion of studies on genetically modified (GM/GMO) crops are rife with conflicts of interest. They state that many have been tainted because someone that worked on a study was also an employee of a company producing them. The study investigated direct financial conflicts of interest, but not other factors such as authors being members of advisory boards, co-holders of patents or consultants to GM companies. Out of 579 published studies analyzed, some 40 percent showed a possible conflict of interest. The authors noted that the suspect studies had a much higher likelihood of presenting a favorable outcome for GMOs compared to others. The majority of these studies (404) were American; 83 were Chinese.

Bio-Identical Hormones Do it right!
After decades of strong growth, bottled water consumption has outpaced carbonated soft drinks to become the largest beverage category by volume in the United States. Michael Bellas, chairman and chief executive at Beverage Marketing Corp. says, “When Perrier first entered the country in the 1970s, few would have predicted the heights to which bottled water would eventually climb.” In 2015, U.S. bottled water consumption totaled 39.3 gallons per capita, while carbonated soft drinks fell to 38.5 gallons. Bad publicity about the health effects of sugary beverages is at the root of the trend, with some states considering making them off-limits to food stamp purchasers and cities voting for soda taxes to combat diet-related diseases like obesity and diabetes.

Garden Clubs Help Beautify Roads Displays of flowers populating highway meridians, road embankments and adjacent green spaces are often due to the efforts of garden clubs working with state departments of transportation (DOT). Some of these pioneers also inspire other clubs to pursue similar collaborations, often with public support. “The people of Texas have joined wholeheartedly in what Lady Bird Johnson started,” says Linda Love, roadside beautification chairperson of the Texas Garden Clubs, Inc. (TexasGardenClubs.org), headquartered in Fort Worth. Their committee recognizes planting projects on state and county highways assisted by 320 local clubs encompassing about 10,000 members. She points to particularly attractive areas along highways 75 in Richardson, plus highways 45 and 35 extending south of Dallas, where concentrations of blue bonnets “look like lakes,” says Love. Other planted native flower patches include Indian paintbrush and gaillardia. She notes that the state prohibits mowing of blue bonnets until after they’ve bloomed and dropped their seeds; picking rules preserve their beauty. Gail Hill, chair of The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.’s (ffgc.org) roadside beautification committee, based in Winter Park, reports the Ella P. Wood Paths of Sunshine Award Program that partners with the Florida Wildflower Foundation (FlaWildflowers.org) recognizes the efforts of state DOT maintenance crews in establishing and maintaining roadside wildflowers. “The department has run a strong program for decades,” she says. Local clubs are encouraged to petition elected officials for new resolutions to develop roadside wildflower projects. “About half of Florida’s counties have passed resolutions, including most recently, Santa Rosa and Escambia counties,” says Hill. This year, the Raleigh-based The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc. (GardenClubOfNC.org), with more than 200 chapters, is working with the state DOT to commemorate the centennial of America’s entry into World War I by planting red poppies and bachelor buttons. Roadside Development Chairperson Pat Cashwell reports that about 1,500 acres of wildflowers, including cosmos, are planted annually on state and county highways each summer and fall, largely funded by the sale of special license plates, with awards to highway department crews. “We get letters from people after they drive through the state commenting on the floral beauty,” she enthuses. Many garden clubs also establish flowers in parks, schoolyards, church properties and other public locations. www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com

Endangered Species Protection Act May Go Extinct The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), passed in 1973, strengthened earlier federal protections for animals that had been nearly wiped out by humans. The act faces opposition from those that believe it both unfairly protects animals that poach livestock and restricts land use. At a recent hearing titled Modernizing the Endangered Species Act, Republican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, head of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the ESA is not working anymore. Natural Resources Committee Chairman Republican Congressman Rob Bishop of Utah opines that the act has never been used for the rehabilitation of species and instead has been controlling the land, saying, “It has been hijacked.” Yet Daniel M. Ashe, president and chief executive of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, says, “The Endangered Species Act is the world’s ‘gold standard’ for conservation and protection of animals.” According to many experts, the world’s flora and fauna are experiencing a global extinction crisis caused by human activity, but we have also learned how to protect species and help them recover. Eight species that would probably have disappeared already were it not for the ESA include the black-footed ferret, humpback whale, bald eagle, American alligator, grizzly bear, Florida manatee, California condor and gray wolf.

Natural Ways
to Cleanse Body & Mind
Take Toxins Out of Your Life by Meredith Montgomery
T
he term “detox” has been gaining traction in health circles, but cleansing practices have existed for millennia, ranging from Egyptian hydrotherapy to Medieval Lenten practices and Native American fasting, smudging and sweat lodges. The truth is that we need cleansing now more than ever—to rid our bodies of chemical overload and our minds of negative thinking. The Environmental Defense Fund has counted more than 100 chemicals produced in the U.S. that are present in everyday products and hazardous to humans and the environment. “Our body is a natural detoxifier, ridding itself of toxins through pooping, peeing, sweating and shedding skin. But in our current toxic overload situation, it’s not always an efficient process,” observes Deanna Minich, Ph.D., an author and functional nutritionist in Washington state. Some experts believe many commercial detoxification programs are unsafe, extreme and ineffective. “Psychologically, a short-term cleanse can act as a stepping stone if you’re eating fast food and donuts every day,” says Dr. Michael Greger, a Washington, 22
East Michigan edition
D.C., physician specializing in clinical nutrition and author of How Not to Die. “What matters more is longterm—what you’re eating a decade from now. No quick fix is going to do it, it’s a lifestyle change.”
Feed Your Microbiome
When the microbiome becomes depleted, overall health is affected. Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a gastroenterologist at Georgetown University Hospital, founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, in Washington, D.C., and author of Gutbliss and The Microbiome Solution, explains, “The GI tract is the body’s engine, and microbes are the worker bees that operate the machinery so that digestion and toxin removal can happen.” She recommends switching to a plant-filled diet to effectively repopulate the microbiome and be aware of how food is grown. “Much store-bought produce, even organic options, is grown in depleted soil. Seek out biodynamic farmers that prioritize nutrient-rich soil to foster microbes,” Chutkan says. Even planting a couple of herbs or microgreens on the kitchen windowsill can make
a difference. “Just picking those herbs and getting your hands in healthy dirt increases your exposure to healthpromoting microbes.”
Get Dirty
“Health and wealth have become associated with cleanliness, yet the opposite is probably true,” assesses Chutkan. “Kids come in from the playground to use hand sanitizers and eat processed snacks. Instead, discard the microbiome-disrupting sanitizer and provide fresh vegetables for them to eat outside. We don’t want kids exposed to any serious pathogens, but getting a little dirty is essential.” Studies have found that children with pets are more likely to have fewer allergies and infections and take fewer antibiotics than those living in pet-free households (Clinical & Experimental Allergy and Kuopio University Hospital, Finland). Pets that venture outdoors bring healthy microbes inside; so does fresh air, which purifies poorer quality indoor air. Chutkan also warns of excessive bathing. “When we scrub ourselves, we rub off microbes and naturally occurring oils; unless we’re filthy, we
www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com
just need to gently rinse.” Marketers convince consumers that products with toxic ingredients are necessities, but coconut oil, apple cider vinegar and honey can effectively replace many toiletries.
Burn Fat Cells
According to ayurveda, burning fat fuels detoxification because toxins from preservatives, pollutants, pesticides and other damaging chemicals are stored in our fat cells. When fat is metabolized and used as an energy source, the toxins are released, ready to be flushed out. “When we’re not burning fat, toxins can accumulate, cause congestion in the lymphatic channels, overwhelm the liver and ultimately be deposited back into fat cells or stored in the arteries, heart and brain,” comments Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner Dr. John Douillard, of Boulder, Colorado. He’s the author of Eat Wheat and a former director of player development and nutrition advisor for the New Jersey Nets professional basketball team.
Reboot with a Quick Cleanse
To stimulate the body’s natural ability to burn fat, Douillard recommends a four-day, at-home detox cleanse. “The digestive system is responsible for delivering nutrients and escorting dangerous toxins out of your body; if you can’t digest well, you can’t detoxify well,” he says. Unlike drastic fasts and juice cleanses, which can deplete nutrients, he recommends stimulating fat metabolism with a cleanse that starts each morning with melted ghee followed by a simple nonfat diet throughout the day. According to research published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, ghee, a clarified butter, has been proven to remove environmental toxins by attaching to toxic fats. Kitchari, the staple of the meal plan, is a nourishing and easy-to-digest, porridge-like blend of beans, rice and Indian spices. “When you eat a mono diet of just kitchari, your body can transfer the
energy that normally goes toward digestion into cleansing and healing other systems,” says Douillard. For those not ready to maintain such a limited diet, he recommends a polydiet with the option to add seasonal steamed vegetables, oatmeal and other gluten-free grains.
Few Snacks, More Water
Work toward eating three meals a day—a light breakfast, big lunch and light and early dinner—without snacking in-between, and fasting for 13 hours each night. Douillard notes, “This regimen should be maintained beyond the cleanse because it gives the body a chance to use up its carbohydrates—its normal, go-to fuel—and switch to its calmer, more stable, detoxifying fuel—body fat.” Adapt the cleanse to avoid strain, because when under stress, the lymphatic system shuts down and the body stores fat and toxins. “If three

uman adipose (fat) tissue from U.S. residents has revealed 700+ chemical contaminants that have not been chemically identified while more than 80,000+ chemicals and toxicants have been developed, distributed and discarded into the environment over the past 50 years,” says Dr. Doug Cutler, of Cutler Integrative Medicine in Bingham Farms, MI, who has advanced training in Environmental Medicine. “The majority of these toxicants have not been tested for potential toxic effects in humans and some of these chemical contaminants are commonly found in the job, at home, in the outdoors, in our foods, in our air, in our water, and even in utero which contribute to human disease.” “With the Flint water crisis and the resulting illness in children and adults alike,” he says, “we can take a more proactive approach to prevent the damage caused by lead. The C.D.C. (Centers for Disease Control) says that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified.” “With environmental medicine,” says Cutler, “it is never a question if you are toxic, but it is a question of

meals a day with no snacks is not possible yet, have a nonfat high-protein snack and plan to eat more protein at your next meal,” suggests Douillard. “Or start with four meals, and work your way down to three.” Aim to drink half your healthiest body weight in ounces of room-temperature water every day, while also sipping warm-to-hot water—believed to soften the intestinal tract, move the lymph and hydrate the cells more effectively than cold water—every 10 to 15 minutes for two weeks. Plain water has a hydrating effect that not even lemon water can replicate.
Emotional Release
“Toxins are best understood less as poisons than as barriers—obstacles to the life and health we truly want,” says Minich. As a functional medicine nutritionist, she believes that food as medicine is only one aspect of
how toxic?” According to Dr. Cutler, the focus of Environmental Medicine is understanding how environmental factors influence our health and behavior. It is the prevention of biological, chemical and toxicant exposures and lowering of the total toxic burden on the body through multiple depuration (cleansing), detoxification and chelation therapy protocols. “Therapies such as intravenous (IV) or oral chelation, homeopathics, fullbody cleanses, colon hydrotherapies, botanicals and nutritional supplements,” he adds, “are used by many practitioners to help bring down the toxic burden of the body or to help achieve this important process. And I always teach my patients that emotional toxins are more damaging and harmful than any man-made environmental toxicant.” For more information, contact Doug Cutler, N.D. of Cutler Integrative Medicine, 31350 Telegraph Rd., Suite 102, Bingham Farms, MI. 248-663-0165 or visit his website at: CutlerIntegrativeMedicine.com.

full-spectrum health. Her approach revolves around clusters of nutritional, anatomical, psychological and spiritual life issues that can be jointly detoxified, supported and healed. “Good eating alone will not necessarily solve our emotional woes or stop our limiting beliefs and toxic self-talk,” she explains in Whole Detox, a book based on a whole-life, whole-systems, whole-foods approach to detoxification. “We need to remove all the barriers that impede our growth. Limiting thoughts, as well as heavy metals and pesticides, are toxic barriers that weigh us down, sapping energy that might be used for better things.”
Her 21-day program is designed to establish long-term lifestyle changes with simple habits. She recommends monitoring our emotions and tracking thoughts with daily writing exercises. “Look at yourself like you’re examining a food label to get to the root of limiting patterns,” she says, encouraging questions such as, “Is this thought healthy for me?” or, “Do I want this thought in my being?” Be mindful of speech as well; swearing, exaggerating and interrupting can have deleterious effects, while uplifting affirmations can inspire positive actions.

hen considering a cleanse,” says Lee Rossano, C.N.C., “consider the health of your body. Certain organs of elimination need support before, during and after a cleanse. The lymph system and the blood are filtered by the liver, kidneys, and spleen. When these are not working at optimal levels, a cleanse can make you very ill because toxins will back up into your body. If you have gall bladder issues, it best to be on gall bladder support for 30 days before attempting a liver/gall bladder cleanse.” “A good place to start,” she explains, “is hot water and lemon to thin the bile and a mixture of 100% cranberry juice, stevia, and water to work on the kidneys. A sugar-free, gluten-free, soy-free diet along with proper supplements and lymphatic support is always crucial. Make sure to include mild exercise to your program.” Lee Rossano is a Certified Nutritional Counselor with Advanced Nutritional Solutions, located at 1444 West Silverbell Rd., Lake Orion, MI.

icity. “Be intuitive and imaginative; allow creative expression to flow. Before you can manifest what you want in life, you have to envision it.” Minich wants patients to invite introspection by taking a few minutes each day to be in solitude and silence, allowing meaning and purpose to surface. Daily stress relief practices such as meditation, yoga, self-massage and mindful breathing can foster stress reduction. “Life shouldn’t feel like an emergency. We need to navigate around stress so we’re not inundated by it,” counsels Douillard. By extracting toxins through sweat and circulating nutrients, physical activity is equally important for detoxification, but it’s also a form of self-love. “It expands your sense of possibilities, freeing you to go where you will and to carry burdens lightly,” Minich says. In this age of personalized medicine, Minich encourages patients to focus on the parts of a detox program that they need most, whether it’s diet, exercise, massage, emotional wellbeing or spirituality. She reminds us that the desire and need to cleanse is universal.“Detox is as old as humankind.” Meredith Montgomery publishes Natural Awakenings of Gulf Coast Alabama/Mississippi (HealthyLiving HealthyPlanet.com).

“
etox” has become a buzzword. Advertising for detoxification products promise weight loss, glowing skin, digestive peace and renewed vitality. But what does it mean to detoxify anyway? A detox plan is designed to improve the body’s ability to release toxins and to help you avoid exposure to more toxins. Why does this matter? Toxins include everything from carcinogenic substances to irritants that create inflammation within the body and impact health and quality of life. The main detoxification organs in the body are the liver, kidney, intestines and skin. These organs use nutrients, fiber and antioxidants to help elimination of waste. It is likely that busy lives, poor diets and excessive chemical exposure prevent us from obtaining enough of what we need to optimize the removal of toxins and waste. We may also be unaware of where toxins come from. We do encounter toxins every day, and over time the accumulation of them in the body can negatively affect health. What are the effects? Mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, rashes, hormone imbalance, asthma attacks, headaches, sinus congestion, inflammation and resistance to weight loss. Do any of those sound familiar? Let’s consider some beginner steps to support detoxification. The first is to eliminate refined sugars. Many may be surprised to consider sugar in this way. But if a substance causes mostly harm, addiction, metabolic havoc and inflam-
Beginner Steps to Support Detoxification by Naomi martoia, R.N. mation, it is toxic to our physiology. When sugar is removed, it also creates room in the diet for nourishing foods like green vegetables and high fiber fruits that provide healing nutrients. Sugar encourages the growth of undesirable bacteria in the digestive tract. These less desirable bacteria create an altered gut environment in which probiotic type bacteria do not thrive. Highly desirable probiotic bacteria in the colon function to remove toxins, liberate nutrients and promote balanced immunity. The bacterial environment of the digestive tract is called the Microbiome and is being studied extensively for its role in sustain-
ing optimal health and metabolism. The second step is to drink adequate clean water, approximately 10 cups a day per adult. The enhanced elimination with just adding water is amazing. Imagine a city sewer or septic system without water. Water has multiple protective benefits which include improved transportation of waste out of our cells and out of our bodies. Personal care and cleaning products contain many unregulated ingredients that we are absorbing through the skin and breathing in. Most people use 10 or more of these products every day. Learn how to make or buy simple nontoxic replacements so you and the planet will benefit from the decreased toxin exposure.

octors, health experts and fitness gurus tell us that we should break a sweat every day—and for good reason. Sweat not only activates a host of benefits tied to health-boosting exercise, perspiring itself is curative. Whether sitting in a sauna, walking on a warm day or working out, sweating is a necessary bodily function with powerful healing effects. By clearing out a range of toxins, sweat plays an essential role in the body’s natural detoxifying function. Here are some of the toxins it helps eliminate:
1
Persistent organic pollutants (solvents, fumigants and insecticides): A clinical study
of 20 participants published in BioMed Research International found that their sweat samples contained a range of toxins, including pesticides DDT/DDE, endosulfan, methoxychlor and endrin. Nearly all parent compounds of these pesticides were evident, demonstrating that sweating is an effective way of excreting and diminishing the body’s toxic burden. One sweat sample contained some pesticides not present in the subject’s blood or urine samples, suggesting that some pesticides are only mobilized and eliminated through sweating.

Phthalate (plasticizer): Phthalate, found in plastic products, is also removed through sweat. Research published in the Scientific World Journal evaluated blood, sweat and urine samples from 20 individuals and discovered that all of them contained the common mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP). The concentrations of this toxin in sweat were more than twice as high as those in the urine, showing that sweating may be the best way of ridding the body of this endocrine-disrupting compound. Heavy metals: Another study of 20 patients
reported in the Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology found that subjects’ sweat contained about 24 times more cadmium, 19 times more nickel, 16 times more lead and almost three times more aluminum than their urine. Overall, sweat proved more effective than urine at removing 14 of the 18 heavy metals studied. It also contained and, therefore, expelled larger quantities of 16 of the 18 metals than the blood samples did. Of all the metals, aluminum was found at the highest concentrations in sweat, with zinc, copper and nickel also occurring at relatively high levels.
Natural Awakenings Magazine

Bisphenol A (BPA): Researchers reporting in
the Journal of Environmental and Public Health examined the blood, urine and sweat of 20 participants for BPA, an endocrine-disrupting toxin found in canned foods, plastic water bottles and other items. Of the 20 sweat samples collected, 16 contained BPA, while only 14 urine and 2 blood samples tested positive for the toxin. This reveals that sweat is the most effective way of removing BPA build-up in the body; just as vital, it demonstrates that testing blood or urine for toxicity levels may not present the whole picture.
A wide range of activities, including exercising and engaging in sports, can help us break a sweat. A lowimpact option is spending time in a sauna. Notably, in a focused study, the sweat from an infrared sauna expelled more bismuth, cadmium, chromium, mercury and uranium than that produced by a steam sauna. The steam sauna caused higher levels of arsenic, aluminum, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, lead, tin, thallium and zinc to be excreted (Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology). Hydration is essential in maximizing all these health benefits. Failure to hydrate properly during and after sweating can lead to other health problems. An

easy rehydration practice is to step on the scales right before and after sweating; the weight lost is the optimum amount of water to drink afterwards (Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine). For reference, one pound of water is slightly less than a onehalf liter. Sweat contains minerals essential for optimal functioning of the whole body. Following excessive sweating, it’s important to replace the minerals lost, especially zinc, copper, selenium, chromium and potassium. Coconut water is a good source of potassium; nuts, seafood, whole grains and legumes generally contain relatively high doses of zinc, copper, selenium and chromium. The next time the couch and air conditioning beckon, think of all the “sweaty” benefits about to be sacrificed. Breaking a sweat might seem like an effort, but it keeps internal detox systems healthy and optimally functioning.

Eating Vegan on the Road
Clever Ways to Eat Healthy Anywhere
T
by Judith Fertig
raveling can be tricky for those trying to eat a plant-based diet, especially on long stretches of highway. More than 33 percent of Americans, or 100 million-plus people, are eating vegan/vegetarian meals more often, even if they do not adhere to a strict plant-based lifestyle, concluded a 2011 Harris Interactive study commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group. Here is what the discerning traveler can do when hunger strikes. Start by looking for vegan pit stops before you go. Identify a plantfriendly restaurant group, such as Dr. Andrew Weil’s True Food Kitchen (now in 12 states), and then Google for their locations. Smartphone apps such as Finding Vegan and Happy Cow help point the way to veganfriendly restaurants around the world. This month, Natural Awakenings asked three savvy travelers how they manage plant-based eating wherever

they go. For Dustin Harder, eating well on the road is a matter of research and preparation. He is the New York Citybased chef/host of the online program The Vegan Roadie, with 100 U.S. restaurant visits and counting and now seeking crowdfunding for its third season, set in Italy. Harder has learned to investigate his dining options ahead of time, and always packs a travel-size, high-speed blender, lots of trail mix and his favorite condiments of sriracha (bottled hot sauce) and nutritional yeast. “You can locate great vegan restaurants in surprising places if you search online before you travel,” he says, listing Viva Vegeria and La Botanica, in San Antonio, Texas, and The Red Fern, in Rochester, New York, among his finds. Where vegan restaurants are scarce, he turns to plant-based options at Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread. His
DIY hotel-room cuisine favorites are a Hotel Smoothie, Banushi (banana sushi) and Pizzadilla, a cross between a pizza and a quesadilla, “cooked” in aluminum foil using a hotel iron and ironing board. Matt Frazier, a runner and coauthor of the No Meat Athlete Cookbook, recently went on the road for a self-funded book tour. Not only had he left his high-powered blender back home with his family in Asheville, North Carolina, he was on a tight budget. “The trick that has helped me not just survive, but thrive on the road is eating fresher, more whole and more raw,” he says. He recommends filling up on kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, nuts and seeds, berries, beans, onions and mushrooms. Lindsay S. Nixon, author of The Happy Herbivore Guide to PlantBased Living and related cookbooks, has traveled from her home in Los Angeles across the country and around the world, finding plant-based foods wherever she goes. “Almost every city has a Thai or Italian restaurant where you should be able to find something on the menu or adapt a dish to stick with plants,” she says. “You might have to get a little creative. I once asked for salsa and a plain, baked potato; not a bad combo, as it turns out.” Wherever we find ourselves, we can still find healthy ways to eat.

Maria Rodale Helps Organic Farmers Succeed by Randy Kambic
A
uthor, gardener and corporate executive Maria Rodale continues to add luster to an unparalleled family commitment to organic food, sustainability and healthy living covering three-quarters of a century. As CEO and chairman of Rodale Inc., she oversees the publishing of books (An Inconvenient Truth; The South Beach Diet; Eat This, Not That!), magazines (Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Prevention and Organic Gardening) and naturally healthy living websites. Her grandfather, J. I. Rodale, pioneered the American organic movement in 1942 by launching Organic Farming and Gardening magazine. In 1947, he founded the Soil and Health Association, which later became the Rodale Institute, a nonprofit educational and advocacy organization, of which Maria is a board member. The influence of her 32
East Michigan edition
2011 book Organic Manifesto: How Organic Farming Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe remains strong.
What is the status of the organic farming industry? As a whole, it has seen great growth, in large part due to increasing demand resulting from consumer awareness. In 2015, organic was a $43 billion industry in the U.S., with Millennial householders leading the way. Still, only 5 percent of all food consumed in the U.S. is organic [produce 13 percent], while less than 1 percent of our farmland is certified organic, which spurs imports. So the opportunity to help encourage new organic farmers and transition conventional farmers is significant. The Rodale Institute invests as much time on education and outreach as on research to help organic farmers be profitable.
How else does the Institute help the industry? We conduct cutting-edge research in organic agriculture to study and test natural strategies to combat pests, diseases and weeds. Growing organic isn’t solely about what you don’t do, such as using pesticides and genetically modified seeds. It also proactively focuses on benefiting soil health by using compost, cover crops, crop rotations and reduced tillage. As we refine these “regenerative agriculture” methods, we share them with farmers so they can increase their productivity and success. We are expanding our research in nutrient density. The Institute works to understand the difference in nutrient levels, such as proteins, vitamins and minerals, in organic and conventional foods and how farmers can grow nutrient-packed food.
What new programs or initiatives are particularly exciting? Launched in 1981, our Farming Systems Trial is the longest-running North American research project comparing organic versus conventional grains such as corn and soybeans; it has allowed us to compare yields, water and energy use, soil organic matter, nutrient density, profitability and other factors. In 2016, we introduced our Vegetable Systems Trial, a side-by-side comparison for organic versus conventional produce. We expect organic management practices that improve soil health can enhance nutrient density in vegetables and so benefit farmers’ lives and eating habits worldwide. In 2016, we launched the Organic Farmers Association (OrganicFarmers Association.org), creating a valuable information exchange and unified voice for domestic certified organic producers. This national membership organization focuses on policy issues, including the Farm Bill, subsidy programs, animal welfare standards and contamination from conventional farm fields.
www.MichiganHealthyLiving.com
Can the public provide input to the 2018 Farm Bill? President Trump’s proposed “skinny” budget seeks to gut many federal programs, including those designed to protect the environment, so we need to urge elected representatives to stand up for organic farmers as the new bill develops. Historically, heavily funded commodity crop interests fight against assistance programs that encourage low-income people to buy healthy foods. Organic agriculture made strides in the 2014 Farm Bill, which provided increased support for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program, crop insurance, organic research and organic certification cost-sharing programs. To help meet surging demand for organics, it’s important to support initiatives like the Conservation Reserve and Transition Initiatives programs that provide resources for farmers to move from synthetic chemical farming to organic methods.
Besides healthier food, what other benefits of organic farming have convinced late adopters to convert? Healthy soil, full of billions of beneficial microorganisms, is a major byproduct of regenerative organic farming. Organic farming creates diverse, healthy ecosystems that protect wildlife. However, any agricultural model that’s fixated on yields at the expense of soil health will incur a steep price as those farms won’t remain productive for future generations. Regenerative organic farming facilitates storage of carbon in the ground, making it integral to addressing the climate crisis. Organic Manifesto makes the case plain; to optimize your own and the planet’s health—buy, grow and eat organic food.

A Healthy Mouth: A Necessity for Total Wellness
W
e have all heard it time and time again, “Take care of your teeth and they will take care of you.” What we have learned over the years is that statement is rooted in absolute truth. Recently, the news has been filled with stories that link oral health and oral disease to a number of serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. It may surprise you that the subject isn’t really new. Dentists have long known that there is a strong relationship between oral health and overall health and wellness. Each year we learn more and more about how poor oral health is linked to problems elsewhere in the body. It has been linked to serious conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease, respiratory diseases, and even increased risks of some cancers. Today, more than ever, it is vital to make regular trips to the dentist a part of your plan to achieve optimal health and wellness.
positively and negatively. Mercury fillings are a prime example. Most people don’t realize that their ‘silver’ amalgam fillings are up to 50% mercury. At HPS Advanced Dental Care, Dr. Stratton and her team are committed to practicing dentistry with a Biological and Biocompatible philosophy. According to Dr. Stratton, “in using the terms ‘biological and biocompatible’ we are not attempting to carve out a new specialty in dentistry, but rather to describe an attitude and philosophy that can apply to all facets of dental practice, and to health care in general: to always seek the least toxic way to accomplish the mission of treatment, to do it while treading as softly as possible on the patient’s biological terrain, and to most importantly, treat our patients as individuals.”
“At our practice we don’t just look in your mouth, we look past your mouth to see the whole picture of you individually,” says Heather Pranzarone Stratton, DDS, a Family and Cosmetic dentist in Shelby Township, MI. “Your mouth is the window to your overall health and wellness,” she says. “The state of your oral health can offer clues about your overall well-being. Oral Health and total health and wellness are more connected than you might realize.”
“To us, the best way to describe Biological Dentistry is Individualized Dentistry. It is dentistry that is completely focused on You. Not just who you are in terms of your teeth and oral health, but also who you are as a whole person physiologically, emotionally, and dentally. Since every person does not react the same way to the same procedures, medications, or materials, why should we treat every person the same way? We do not just treat teeth and oral disease at our Practice. We treat People. And in our experience, every person is unique and different in their own ways.”
“As we have learned more about the relationship between oral health and overall health,” continued Dr. Stratton, “we have also learned much about how the materials and techniques that we use everyday can affect your overall heath as well, both

Living Her Practice Philosophy: A Physician’s Organic Garden
I
nternal and Integrative Medicine physician, Laura Kovalcik, DO and her husband Rich, have been organic gardeners for years. “I’ve never gardened any other way than organic,” says Kovalcik. “Early on we tried the organic approach and experienced successful growth, along with several other benefits from the food we grew. Plants grow large, have more flavor and do not become infested. We feel better going in the garden knowing that we aren’t polluting the environment and are keeping it safer for ourselves, our pets and local birds and wildlife.” “If anyone has ever compared the taste and smell of fresh organic strawberries or lettuce or tomatoes to traditional store bought produce, you will smell and taste the difference immediately. And, there have been studies that show that organic produce contains a higher level of nutrients than traditionally grown
produce – especially the micronutrients and antioxidants.” This quote resonates with the Kovalciks’ as they have learned to work with nature to control garden pests… “On every stem, on every leaf,… and at the root of everything that grew, was a professional specialist in the shape of grub, caterpillar, aphis, or other expert, whose business it was to devour that particular part.” ~Oliver Wendall Holmes Dr. Kovalcik and her husband create and maintain their successful organic garden by: n Enhancing Soil Quality – Checking for the proper pH for each vegetable or fruit and adding their own compost to the soil. n Using Natural Fertilizers – Fresh manure (or purchased manure which can be dehydrated) are used along with some specialty products like Tomatoes Alive available from GardensAlive.com n Using Natural Pest Management – Slug traps or bait, Japanese Beetle traps, ladybugs, and Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis), and the ever successful hand-plucking of pests off plants.

n Rain or Well Watering – Well water or rain water are preferred as they don’t have chlorine or other additives. n Applying Natural Mulch – Mulch helps retain water and keeps weed levels down. Grass clippings from their lawn, straw and newspaper are the materials of choice since recycling is important too. “We thoroughly enjoy our garden,” adds Kovalcik, “it’s good exercise, it slows you down to think and focus, like meditation, and you are out in the fresh air and sunshine – plus you get the bonus of great food to enjoy and share.” Laura Kovalcik, D.O., F.A.C.O.I., practices at The Downing Clinic, 5715 Bella Rose Blvd., Suite 100, Clarkston, MI.

Power naps offer a mid-day boost
W
hoever said naps were for the old or lazy didn’t know the amazing trick of taking a few z’s and tapping into the powers within to rejuvenate and restore your mind and body. Getting an entire night’s sleep isn’t easy, whether it means you got to bed too late or your sleep was interrupted. Along with the fatigue, this can drain your attention span and memory. In fact, finding a way to refresh your brain is increasingly important, because as a nation, people all over the United States appear to be becoming more and more sleep deprived, according to the National Sleep Foundation. A University of Michigan study showed sleepy people everywhere that there was no shame in taking a

quick snooze to restore attention and reduce mistakes. Multiple studies show a siesta can be a quick way to give your mind a jump start, improve concentration and alertness, boost memory recall, reduce stress levels, increase stamina and sharpen motor skills. In fact, the nap can be an effective way to put impulsive behavior at bay and limit frustration. Savvy employers, universities, colleges, medical schools and teaching hospitals have caught on and some even supply sleep pods, nap rooms and other comfy places to catch some shuteye and awake better ready to face the tasks ahead. The result is happier, more productive employees, students and medical residents. If a sleepy time place isn’t readily available, consider making your own—go to a car, recline the seats and nod off. If that doesn’t seem ideal, look for a nook in a library or book store. You won’t be the only one with the same idea. Bring along eye masks if it’s too bright in your daytime makeshift bedroom.
You will enjoy the break and everyone around you might see benefits, too. Jennifer Goldschmid, the U-M study’s lead author, said her research found that staying awake for long stretches reduces the ability to repress negative emotional responses. The U-M researchers found those who napped spent more time trying to solve a task than the non-nappers who were less willing to endure frustration to complete it. Additionally, nappers reported feeling less impulsive. The benefits of taking a mid-day snooze were also outlined in a NASA study that found pilots who had a 26 minute nap were 54 percent more alert and they improved performances by 34 percent. There are five stages of sleep: Stage 1, when you’re drifting off; Stage 2, when you enter into light sleep, Stages 3 and 4, when you fall into deep, slow wave sleep and finally REM, which is when you’re dreaming. Short naps consist of Stage 1 and Stage 2 sleep,

A power nap can be even more powerful than a cup of coffee to feel revived, according to researchers from Loughborough University in the United Kingdom in 2007. Researchers also found that drinking a cup of coffee before taking a nap might be ideal, because it often takes 20 minutes for the caffeine to kick-in, which about the time you would be getting up from your sleep. Keep in mind that if you take a nap too late in the day, it might keep you from sleeping at your usual nighttime slumber. If you have a hard time drifting off, just remember you can always take a nap tomorrow.

which may offer the most benefits, the National Sleep Foundation reports. A 20-minute nap enhances alertness, concentration, elevates mood and makes you feel refreshed, researchers say. If you need to awake bright and chipper you should avoid naps longer than 45 minutes, because you could drift into slow wave inertia and feel groggy or disoriented when you first open your eyes. Power naps of less than 30 minutes, even those that are as brief as 6-10 minutes, restore wakefulness and promote performance and learning. A half hour of sleep can reverse the hormonal influence of a poor night’s sleep or reverse the damage of sleep deprivation. A University of Düsseldorf study found their participants had better memory recall once a person had reached only six minutes of sleep “suggesting that the onset of sleep may initiate active memory processes of consolidation which—once triggered— remains effective even if sleep is terminated,” the National Sleep Foundation reports. A Harvard University study showed a midday nap reverses information overload. In some cases, napping can boost performance to individual’s top performances.

co-friendly fashion used to be an oxymoron, synonymous with frumpy clothing and ugly shoes. Now designers and manufacturers are finding ways to provide attractive and healthier alternatives to common fabrics, especially polyester. After World War II, cotton, wool and linen fell out of favor as wash and wear, stain-resistant, permanentpress polyester arrived. Annual production of the synthetic fiber, consuming petroleum, coal, air and water resources, today exceeds 22 billion tons. Americans alone discard 14 million tons of clothing each year—80 pounds per person—with 80 percent going to landfills, where polyester takes 20 to 200 years to biodegrade. A host of suppliers are responding to a rising demand for comfortable, trendy, easy-care, high-quality and eco-friendly clothing that’s actu-
ally good for you. Here are just a few of these innovators.
Ably Apparel, in Seattle, makes
hoodies, T-shirts and jogging pants, using Filium-activated, 100 percent cotton fabric free of chemicals and nanoparticles. It repels spills and stains. When wet, it dries 40 percent faster than other materials. Perspiration evaporates through the breathable natural fabric, so Ably clothing doesn’t absorb odors or need to be washed and dried as often, saving water and energy (Tinyurl.com/FiliumFashion). “The retail industry is one of today’s largest polluters in the world,” says Raj Shah, co-founder of Ably and co-creator of Filium. “Ably apparel saves time and reduces both carbon emissions and chemical detergent usage, resulting in cleaner water supplies. We’re the first to apply the

expands a woman’s wardrobe with a single purchase (Tinyurl. com/OrgottonShortDress). The dress is 65 percent bamboo, 27 percent organic cotton and 8 percent Spandex; it’s washable in cold water and dries flat, saving energy. Orgotton’s Infinity Collection comprises a long dress, short dress, romper and bodysuit.

made its New York debut in 2014, featuring ponchos, scarves and wraps crafted from manufacturers’ pre-consumer, recycled cotton scrap, plus local virgin farm fiber under the guidance of Laurie Perrone, creative director and president. Located in Cornwall, New York, the company’s artisan-inspired products are available through stores and the Web (Farm2Fashion.com). “Our philosophy is simple—design classic products in America with substance and sustainability, while creating a low carbon footprint,” says Perrone. “We encourage customers to pass our products from generation to generation. Apparel and other textile goods in America used to be made at home for families and friends. We want to bring some of that back to life.”
Orgotton’s classic “little black
dress” takes on fresh personalities via two long straps that change its appearance from a modest oneshoulder to a dressier backless version, halter style or a variation with cap sleeves. Made to order in Philadelphia, the five-way short dress
Alis Living (AlisLiv ing.com) lifestyle boutique, in Scottsdale, Arizona, is owner Janet Ellis’ creation. “In 2007, I taught meditation classes and noticed the women were not enjoying life fully. Life should not be stressful,” she observes. “The skin is the largest organ on the body and clothing fabrics are often treated with formaldehyde. So we exclusively focus on organic clothing.” Her motto is, “Dress healthy, look good, have fun.” The clothing she carries are so simple and versatile that a change in accessories can take a dress from daytime business wear to evening elegance. “It used to be harder to find eco-friendly clothing. It’s easier now,” Ellis remarks. “We carry Blue Canoe, Indigenous, Onno, Shupaca and Synergy fashion lines, adding more brands as we discover them.” As a Master Gardener, Ellis also offers organic cooking classes for customers, harvesting from an onsite garden, thus creating a conscious

community for women. “We want to serve one another and live joyously, but too often don’t make time for ourselves,” she says. “We’re concerned about human health and the planet. We believe that we don’t have to do harm in order to enjoy good fashion, food and fun.” Fashion personality and creation, organic gardening, mindful art, meditation and yoga on the lawn are other classes offered onsite. Eco-friendly clothing used to have little appeal for fashion buffs. Now designers and manufacturers are finding fresh ways to provide the attractive and eco-healthy clothing more women want to wear.

Dogs Need Detoxing Too
10
Ways to Detox Your Dog
by Patricia Jordan
Y
ou know that mercury is bad for people. John Moore, a prominent 20th-century mercury and dental health researcher, regarded mercury as a ubiquitous contaminant of everything from plastics to concrete and medicine. But what about your dog? Pets also routinely encounter mercury and other toxic metals like aluminum and lead. For humans, eating whole, organic and even biodynamic food has become imperative to avoid heavy metals. That’s also true for canines. A species-appropriate raw diet including veggies is often recommended. And any raw meaty bones should be the joints and not the long bones unless purchased from a company that tests for heavy metals. Here are some preventive and remedial steps.
1
Heal leaky gut first. Like humans, pets with leaky
gut will have food allergies. Remove causes like vaccines and processed foods; support the liver; rebalance with prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes; replenish with a healthy whole foods diet, along with aloe, slippery elm and marshmallow root; and restore with homeopathic remedies. Follow up with fermented veggies as part of the diet. Consult a naturopathic veterinarian for treatment.
2 3
Provide clean, filtered water. Mountain spring water is ideal.
Vitamin C: berries, citrus, red bell peppers (or berry powder supplements; one-half teaspoon per 25 pounds of weight) Vitamin E: grains, seeds and their oils, wheat germ oil Vitamin D: liver, eggs, oily fish like sardines, mackerel, salmon B vitamins: liver, venison (or moringa leaf powder supplement, one-half teaspoon per 25 pounds) Zinc: red meat, poultry Magnesium: dark leafy greens, seeds, fish Selenium: oily fish, grass-fed beef and beef liver, free-range chicken, egg Turmeric: a powerful supplement to help treat and prevent gene damage caused by heavy metals and glyphosate (one-eighth to one-quarter teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight per day, combined with a healthy fat like coconut oil and some freshly ground black pepper for better absorption).
4 5
Prevent and treat candida. Avoid aggravating
candida as it can release 60-plus toxic substances, including ethanols and the heavy metals it eats. Eliminate all carbs, sugar and grains from the dog’s diet.
Greens, minerals and herbs. The use of juvenile
grasses is detoxifying and provides necessary magnesium during a detox. Sea vegetables can supply calcium, iodine and trace minerals. Herbs like curcumin, ginger and cayenne are potent antioxidants; ginger and turmeric help with DNA repair. Nutrients from green leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli can enter cells and reduce inflammation; broccoli sprouts also apply, with the most effective delivery method via a concentrated powder. Blend or lightly steam veggies to enhance digestion, then add one tablespoon for smaller dogs, or three to four for larger dogs.
Boost nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies
that can arise in conjunction with mercury poisoning include antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and vitamin D, plus the complex of B vitamins, zinc, magnesium and selenium. These also help treat potential post-vaccination immunity issues.
Good nutrient sources to add to doggie meals include:
Vitamin A: liver, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, dark leafy greens, eggs 40

6 7
No fake food or vitamins. Be wary of synthetic
vitamins. Whole foods may be properly supplemented with gentle chelators like open cell wall chlorella and super foods like spirulina.
Probiotics plus. Probiotics help restore healthy gut
bacteria, repair genes, synthesize nutrients and help remove mercury from the body. Cultivating a gut garden of beneficial bugs boosts health. Add a teaspoon or two of kefir or fermented veggies to the dinner of small dogs, up to a tablespoon or two for larger animals. A high-quality refrigerated probiotic supplement is an option; if it’s made for animals, follow the package directions; for human products, assume the dose is for a 150-pound person and adjust for the dog’s weight. Amino acids, the primary building blocks of proteins, are integral to detoxification; feeding a dog a variety of meats, along with fish and eggs, will provide these. Digestive enzymes also support health; a supplement should include many kinds. Cellulase, a plant enzyme that helps digest plant material, also extracts mercury, which destroys naturally occurring enzymes.
8
Plan meals with prebiotics. Prebiotics occur naturally in common high-fiber foods including cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and spinach. Carrots, beets and spirulina also benefit the gut. Establishing a healthy gut restores the body’s natural detoxifi-
cation function, plus its ability to assimilate critical nutrients. Add a teaspoon or two for small dogs; one to three tablespoons for larger dogs.
9
Raw food for detox. Discard commercially pro-
cessed foods and chemical synthetic vitamins. Go for raw and whole foods, add fermented foods and supplement intelligently with whole food-based supplements. Organic sources, grass-fed animals and even biodynamic food sources are ideal.
10
Organ meats. A dog should have organ meats from clean animals at least once a week or as 10 percent of its diet.
As the body detoxifies, symptoms and discharges may occur. These are less common for dogs with raw, speciesappropriate diets and minimal vaccinations. Visible results include old dogs displaying more energy and sharper cognitive function and awareness. Eyes are clearer. Fatty tissues shrink down, coats fill out and become shinier and skin becomes healthier. As the largest organ, skin reflects the state of the immune system as a whole. A concentrated detox to overturn health issues relies on doctor protocols and individualized treatment. An everyday gentle detox generally keeps pets healthier.
