by Jonathan CastroMany think that spring is the best time to plant and don’trealize the benefits of fall gardening. The best windowof opportunity is at our doorstep.

Some of these benefits include a longer timeline for establishingnew plants (plants have a better chance to thrive), the advantage offall and winter rainy seasons, and the cooler/milder temperatures.This is a great time to find better prices at the nurseries (everyoneloves saving money) with less crowded conditions. You have a betterchance of getting one-on-one attention. Not to mention, it is a greattime to be outside enjoying the wonderful fall weather! Some more benefits of fall are that your plants endure less stress,and less evapotransperation (moisture loss of flora). In the fall, thereare fewer pests and insects to devour new foliage, so less chemicaland pesticide use. This is a time of greater root growth, so thatwhen the stress of the Texas summer comes, life can be sustained. Trees have a better chance of survivability when planted in falland winter. Trees are our greatest asset and are the highest valuefor one’s landscape. It is time to put the pre-emergent out RIGHT NOW! This preventsbroadleaf weeds and other seeds from germinating. With all thewater this past spring, we have an incredible amount of seeds lyingdormant just waiting for the right conditions to be germinated. Corngluten meal is a pre-emergent and rye grass makes a great top cover.(Note: Do not do both corn gluten and rye together. The corn glutenwill keep your rye seed from germinating.)

Now Is the Time to Prepare This is the time to start thinking about the type of the outdoorliving space that you would like to have. Even though you mayhave not all the hardscape (patio, pool, outdoor kitchen, gazebo)installed, now is the time to start bed preparation. Pick your plantmaterial according to the site of the bed. Take into consideration if

Health AroundYour Corner

Magazine Gluten ~ The Elephant in the Room

When I first discovered Dr. JosephMercola’s website on naturalhealth, years ago, I was struck by

the fact that he took most of his patients offof grains and sugars. The sugars I understood ~ I had removedwhite sugar and corn syrups from my regu-lar diet for some years. I then discovered evenbetter results as we made further changes,from turbinado to sucanat, and black strapmolasses and grade B real maple syrup. But I had also become a member of the“grind your own whole grains” and “crackyour own oatmeal” gang (though I had notcaught the important factors of sproutedgrains and soaking or fermenting thosegrains). I couldn’t understand how a stapleof life throughout history could be harmful. Mercola explained that he had once beena whole-grain devotee. There was a lot oftalk about insulin resistance and increasinginformation about metabolic typing, but Idon’t remember discussion (then) about glu-ten sensitivity ~ just the fact that most peopledid much better off of grains and sugars. Now, finally, I understand why.

Lives Changed Already Gluten is not a new subject. It is, however,finally being recognized as a “condition thatis reaching epidemic proportions.” There istalk about a vaccine (??!), further bioengi-

neering (!), and other crazy remedies that fit our“give me a push-button answer so I don’t haveto change anything I do” mentality. The goodnews is that the fix for gluten is easy ~ simplystop ingesting gluten. Three lives have already been changed for thebetter due to our gluten research, even beforethe magazine is published. This is an importantissue that could benefit many people ~ even you!

Welcome the Herb Lady! HAYC welcomes the contributions of Jo AnneBoudreau, of Boudreau Herb Farms in MineralWells, known all over Texas as “The HerbLady.” In this issue, Jo Anne describes her experiencewith a black widow spider bite and her use ofherbal remedies.

Water Returns to Texas The cover picture is the HAYC backyard ~representative of the flooding (historic level inGainesville) that refilled Texas lakes, reservoirs,and aquifers with a vengeance, after a decadeor so of drought. We are late with this issue, but life does tendto get in the way of a very small business op-eration. However, we hope that this publishingeffort will continue to have beneficial effectson many lives in North Texas and elsewhere!

Achoo! Sniff, sneeze, wheeze! Yuckymucus! Hard to breathe! How canthat have anything to do with your

spine? It may be hard to believe thatallergies, asthma, colds, or even flu haveanything to do with the health of your spine,says Dr. Steven Le, but it makes sense ifyou realize that the nervous system is themaster system of the body. It controls theother systems, including your immunesystem. If your spine and nervous systemare not healthy, says Dr. Steve, then it canaffect your health in various ways. A regular, wellness-oriented chiropracticprogram is more than symptom relief ~ it’s

an investment inlifelong health.There are fourprinciples to health:1) Your body is as e l f - h e a l i n gorganism. The bodyis in a constant stateof change andrepair. For this to

occur, it follows a very exact program.2) Your nervous system is the thing that runsthis program like the computer centralcommand center that runs you. As long asyour nervous system can communicateeffectively with every organ, tissue, cell,nook and cranny of you, you should havethe very best health you ever had in yourlife. This is called normal.3) If something interferes with the functionof the nervous system, then your body willnot be able to do what it is programmed todo ~ it will do its own thing.4) My job as a chiropractor is to restore lawand order!

Your Spine Is Your Lifeline! Running through your spine is the cordcontaining billions of nerves that sendmessages and information from the brain toevery part of the body and back again. Aslong as none of these messages areinterrupted, an adult or child should haveoptimal function and the best healthpossible.

If, however, there is any interference withthis information highway, the message sentby the brain will not reach the part of thebody it intended to reach. The body startsto work improperly, and this malfunction canbe a serious threat to health. Thisinterference can often affect the immunesystem, lower body resistance, and leave youor your child susceptible to various bugs andinfections. Many adult illnesses stem from childhoodinjuries to the spine that go undetected. Forexample, the “growing pains” of a 12-year-old boy can become crippling low-back andleg pains in adulthood. Those “growingpains” are often called sciatica in adults ~ avertebral subluxation (misalignment) in thelow back, affecting the sciatic nerve thatcontrols the legs. These pains can also oftenbe caused by a functional pelvic imbalancethat changes the way a child walks. This canlead to the development of early scoliosis(spinal curvature), knee problems, difficultywith balance, and eventually bowel andbladder issues. Dr. Steve sees a great manyyoung patients with Crohn’s disease, Colitis,and IBS. The jolly jumpers used by a toddler cancause spinal curvatures (scoliosis) in theadolescent. Everyday activities and stresscause spinal misalignments, joint-motionreduction, and nervous-system blockages inthe whole family, so regular check-ups and“tune-ups” are as important to the body asto a car. For pregnant moms and babies, Dr. Steve’straining includes the Webster technique,which is a specific chiropractic adjustmentthat reduces interference to the nervoussystem, and balances out muscles andligaments, which in turn removes constraintto the woman’s uterus and allows the babyto get into the best possible position forbirth. It is highly effective in breachpresentations and has been used to

Growing to Meet Your Needs

You are gluten sensitive and have been all your life,” saidthe naturopath. “No, no, no, not me!” I responded. Howcould that be possible?

I had greatly improved my diet over the years. No sodas, no whitesugar, mostly organic vegetables and more hormone-free or grass-fed meats, raw goat milk (but still lots of conventional cheese), andwhole grains ~ grinding my own flour, cracking my own oats ~whole-wheat pastas (and regular wheat pastas). Yum! Healthy! A lot healthier than most, anyway. And I was prettyhealthy, except I had put on weight for the first time in my life ~stubborn, toxic flab ~ which I attributed to “age, hormones, andless exercise.” One of these days, I kept saying, I’m going to lose it~ somehow. We had determined my husband had a problem with gluten. Iknew an elderly mechanical engineer who was very thin, who couldnot gain weight, whose wife thought he had cancer, and who haddone his own research and discovered, successfully, that hisundiagnosed problem was gluten. I knew Mary Hunt of FMSpecialty Foods in Flower Mound ~ a diagnosed celiac ~ whospecialized in gluten-free diets. But me? I didn’t have any symptoms normally associated with“celiac disease.” I didn’t have weight loss, but weight gain. I didn’thave a loose gut, but a sluggish one. But,… what did I really knowabout celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? And what did I knowabout gluten? Actually, after 20 years of researching natural health,and 9 issues of publishing a natural health magazine, not much!

The Shocking, Sticky Truth It’s not just a gut problem. It’s not just “celiac.” It’s not just a fewunfortunate individuals. It could very well be you, and it couldvery possibly be the cause of, or a significant factor in, many ormost or even all of your health problems.• Ramifications of gluten damage can involve far more than digestivedisorders, including autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders,hormone disruptions, skin problems, and even cardiomyopathy (andon and on).• There are various levels, from sensitivity, to intolerance, to irritablebowel (IBS) or Crohn’s, to full-blown “celiac sprue.”• Even though you test negative for celiac, gluten is still a likelyculprit.

• Modern-day gluten is a problem for everyone because,“It’s not your grandma’s flour anymore!” I am now 9 weeks gluten free and eating according tomy own, specific metabolic profile, under the guidance

of a knowledgeable naturopath. (I cannot be adamantenough ~ get competent, wholistic help!!)

My stubborn toxic flab? Almost all gone in4 to 6 weeks. And still slowly going.

Went from size 12 back to 10 and

even to an 8 in my new jeans. My system works better, I feel a lotbetter, I’m on a year-long detox program, and I’m a believer!

What Has Happened to the Bread of Life? Five major changes have turned the “bread of life” into“frankenfood:”• Mechanical harvesting means no shocking, no sprouting in thefields.• Selective breeding and bioengineering over the past 50 years hascreated stickier gluten that is easier to process.• Gluten (and even stickier “vital” wheat gluten) is added to almostevery product you buy at the grocery store. It is everywhere!• Traditional practices of soaking, sprouting, and fermenting aregone from our kitchens and our common knowledge base.• Pervasiveness of toxins, refined and processed foods, fast foods,and other stressors add to gluten’s effect in damaging intestinesand organs and playing havoc with our immune systems.

The Grim Reaper No matter what “world view” you hold regarding man’s historyon Earth and our relationship with grains, revolutionary changes inour diets occurred from two relatively recent innovations ~ themechanical reaper (1831) and the roller mill (1873). Grains nolonger sprout in the fields. Flour is no longer stone ground. Modernmilling gives us highly refined flours, with nutrient-densecomponents extracted for separate sale and higher profits. Fasterand easier production has led to much higher availability andconsumption. Our intake of non-sprouted or soaked, modified,stickier gluten has gone up and up and up.

Better Living Through Chemistry? Processed foods created quick and easy pleasures for consumers,massive profits for producers (every level except most farmers),and huge health problems for all of us. Selective breeding andbioengineering resulted in higher gluten contents and stickier glutenthat made manufacturing easier and cheaper. According to nutritionist Dr. Shari Lieberman in The GlutenConnection, modern-day wheat has 90% more gluten than itscousins of 100 years ago. (Spelt, a wheat relative, has less glutenand so was not worth “messing with” by the processors, and so isbetter tolerated by some people.) In addition, the stickier wheat gluten is a hidden additive in almostevery product on the grocery aisles. No matter what we’re eating,we’re eating more and stickier gluten, often in heated, dry, extrudedforms not intended for our guts.

Lost Traditions ~ Calling All Great-Grannies! We modern-day shelf-shoppers and convenience eaters are toldthat whole grains (and especially fresh, home-ground or cracked

How Modern-Day Wheat Gluten IsRuining Everyone’s Health

Glutenous MaximusCan today’s “bread of life” be a killer? Can most people have some level of glutensensitivity? Can gluten intolerance “masquerade” as everything from skin rashes,infections, headaches, autism, ADHD, autoimmune diseases, to diabetes and evencardiomyopathy? This is a HUGE issue and we all need a LOT of education.

whole grains) are better than refined flours, etc. What most of usdon’t know is that our forebears (even many of our grandparents)did not cook like we do. Grains and beans were soaked or fermented.People ate homemade porridge, not dry cereals extruded at hightemperatures, and often made slow-rise breads from fermented(sourdough) starters. So what did sprouting and soaking and fermenting do? It soundsyucky (and time consuming) to the modern-day consumer. Whatmost of us don’t know is that grains (even non-gluten) contain phyticacid, which blocks the absorption of vital minerals like calcium,magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc. Thus, we get mineraldeficiencies that result in myriad maladies, including osteoporosis.It doesn’t matter how much calcium you take if your body won’tabsorb it, along with the other nutrient tools necessary to break itdown and use it. Decades ago, oatmeal box instructions included soaking overnightbefore cooking. If my body allows me to resume some oatmealconsumption in the future, I now realize I need to soak my home-cracked oat groats overnight. Also, yummy butter or cream on theporridge provides the fat-soluble activators necessary for mineralabsorption. These foods were traditionally “married” for a reason!Of course, traditional butter and cream were fresh and raw, and notdenatured by high heat and mechanical mixing (pasteurization andhomogenation). However, noteveryone can tolerate even raw dairy,so get competent, knowledgeableguidance. You are unique, and we allneed proper, individual analysis. Phytic acid and the enzyme inhibitors present in all seeds arebroken down and neutralized by the enzymes and other helpfulorganisms created by sprouting, soaking, and fermenting. Vitaminsare “unbound.” Ever hear about corn or corn flour being soaked inlime water (pickling lime in water overnight)? That traditionalprocess released vitamin B3 and prevented the disease calledpellagra.

How Does Gluten Damage Me? I had heard the adage, “Death begins in the colon.” I had heard of“leaky gut,” and knew it was connected to unexpected problemslike joint deterioration (your gut and your joints?!), but I didn’tunderstand what it was. I knew everyone’s small and large intestines and organs, includingmine, need detoxing. In fact, it was an attempt at self-detox that gotme into the trouble that sent me to friend and naturopath LarryMayo, who determined I was gluten sensitive. [Again, getknowledgeable, competent, wholistic help! That’s what HealthAround Your Corner is designed to do ~ introduce you topractitioners who can truly help! We’ve found some great ones!And there are even more available in North Texas.] What is gluten? It’s the “glue” that holds dough together. It is aprotein. Celiac disease (CD or celiac sprue) is not a food allergy, says

cardiologist and nutritionist Dr.Stephen T. Sinatra, but anintolerance. You may, or maynot have, detectable damage tothe villi of your small intestine.You may, or may not have,classic intestinal problems.

Malabsorption ~ NutrientDeficiency What are villi? They’re themicroscopic, hairlike projectionsin your small intestine that play amajor role in your absorption ofnutrients. If they are all “glued-up,” inflamed, and damaged, yourbody can’t properly break downand absorb what it needs. It’s called malabsorption. You mayactually be overweight and starving to death. When chronicinflammation eventually leads to the complete flattening of the villi,writes Lieberman, gluten sensitivity becomes all-out celiac disease. Our 1981 Tabor’s Medical Dictionary lists gluten enteropathy,and pancreatic insufficiency as associated with “malabsorptionsyndrome,” which was first identified back in 1888! Glutensensitivity, writes Lieberman, can affect the pancreas. Your pancreasproduces the enzymes that metabolize protein, and the insulin thatregulates sugar. That is why gluten sensitivity can “masquerade”as diabetes. Ever wonder why adult-onset diabetes is epidemictoday? The pioneering German physician Dr. Matthias Rath, friend ofvitamin C advocate Dr. Linus Pauling, demonstrates the connection

between nutrient deficiency(especially C) and cardiovascularproblems in his book, Why AnimalsDon’t Get Heart Attacks…But PeopleDo! [available at Abundant Life

Health Foods in Lewisville]. Dr. Rath has made monumentalcontributions to heart health, but I could find no mention of glutenin his valuable book. Could gluten be a major root cause of manyof the nutrient deficiencies he saw?

Autoimmune Disorder People who are gluten sensitive, writes Lieberman, suffer from asystemic autoimmune disorder. Not just full-blown celiac, but thewhole spectrum of gluten sensitivity hides behind, and canpiggyback onto, a wide variety of symptoms, literally from head totoe. We all ingest antigens ~ substances our body identifies as foreigninvaders ~ and as long as the intestinal system is working properly,those antigens are destroyed and eliminated. Today’s gluten, for somany people, is an antigen. An onslaught of antigens and glueydamage results in inflammation that produces a leaky intestine thatallows raw gluten and other antigens into your bloodstream. Troublespreads, dominoes fall, and the results are anything from skindisorders to diabetes to migraine headaches to neurologicaldysfunction to hormone imbalances to classic autoimmune diseases,as well as the more easily associated gut disorders. Another point that Lieberman emphasizes: you are not necessarilyborn with gluten sensitivity ~ you can acquire it at any point inyour life. Don’t rule out granny, and don’t rule out your newborn.It’s never too early, or too late (no matter how old you are) to reduceand often reverse symptoms. However ~ if you continue to ingest gluten, problems will onlyget worse with time. Though many people are able to completelyreverse symptoms, even after decades of suffering andmisdiagnoses, some do permanent and irreversible damage to anorgan or the nervous system. Take action now! Don’t wait until the

ConstantInflammation?

damage can only be halted and not undone.

The Right Test? Lieberman’s book has a whole section on testing. The tests doctorsuse to determine if you are celiac, cannot tell them if you are glutensensitive, says Lieberman. You may very well test negative on a

blood test and still be gluten sensitive orseriously gluten intolerant. There aremany reasons that lab tests can benegative, inaccurate, or incomplete. Biopsy? Besides being invasive andexpensive, only a small percentage ofgluten sufferers will show structuraldamage. And doctors tend to ignore earlyinflammatory changes. That’s the majorproblem Lieberman addresses ~ that onlyfull-blown celiacs manage to get theattention of the medical community, if atall.

The possibility that disease is gluten-related is almost neverconsidered by physicians, says Stephen Gislason, M.D., whose owngluten problems drove him to change his medical practice and tolearn immunology and nutrition. Since gluten-related diseases spanmany medical specialties, he adds,the opportunities for discoveringthe common link to gluten intakeare limited. A typical patient seesseveral specialists over many yearsand accumulates a list of diagnoses and treatments. My guess, saysDr. Gislason, is that non-celiac gluten sufferers are at least 20 timesmore common than patients diagnosed with celiac disease. Fortunately, there are stool and saliva tests that are likely to revealgluten sensitivity in anyone who has it, writes Lieberman, whoreferences a number of qualified laboratories in her resourcessection. The easiest, most sensible way? Just do it! Find a good naturopathand try a gluten-free, and perhaps dairy-free, diet. The final judgeis your own body. It will tell you faster and better than any test.

Resources & Recipes For my husband’s sake, we had already successfully convertedcookie, cake, and pie dough recipes to use quinoa and/or rice flour.I substitute buckwheat flour in my pancake recipe. It has been arelatively easy change for me. I substitute cup for cup with flours,often half quinoa, half rice, experimenting with ratios and mixtures,

and also replace white and brown sugars one-to-one with sucanat(much closer to cane molasses). It has worked fine. I am able, it seems so far, to tolerate Ezekiel brand sprouted grainproducts. I just don’t eat a lot of them. Right now, and maybe forever,I avoid corn. I’m able to eat lots of meats, vegetables, beans, eggs,fruits, and nuts I like, including brown and wild rice. I use a littleraw goat milk, and will be able in the future to add raw goat cheesesand some regular parmesan. “Fine tuning” my diet is a few stepsdown the path of my “whole body” program. Sometimes I lightly pan fry zucchini and mushrooms dipped in alittle raw goat milk (or egg) and a mix of quinoa and rice flour andspices. Quinoa is a wonderful substitute for wheat as a flour, andfor oats cooked as a porridge. Lieberman’s book is full of recipes. So is Danna Korn’s Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Living.We’ll be writing about this subject a lot more in HAYC, and thenext issue for the holidays will feature recipes for healthier andgluten-free feasting.

Get Knowledgeable, Wholistic, Naturopathic Help! Everyone is unique. You need knowledgeable, competentguidance from someone with a “whole picture” approach and agood understanding of metabolic typing, advanced nutrition, and

how the digestive system worksand interacts with the rest of yourbody. Don’t think “dieting.” Thinkabout eating the right things for

your health, supported by targeted, accurate supplementation foryour body. Some people are so sensitive to gluten, they cannot even be aroundthe aerosols given off by opened foodstuffs, much less eat as muchas a communion wafer. Some can tolerate Ezekiel sprouted grains,and some can eat oats and some can’t. Find out who you are! Gethelp!! Reverse those terrible symptoms and start feeling good!

Whether it’s the “regular” marketplace or the “natural”marketplace, competition is certainly “heated” amongthe ever-growing numbers of manufacturers and

distributors. Recently there have been many bold statements made aboutcertain cosmetics and skin-care ingredients. After many years inthe cosmetic and health industry, I am truly upset when a flawedstudy is used to discredit beneficial products that havea long track record of safe and very effective use.Remember, that truth is in the details, not the “soundbites.” Preservatives of some kind will almost always beneeded in products where water is present. Water isthe basis of all life, including bacteria, fungi and molds.Products without preservatives may have a short shelflife, even if refrigerated. Products that are not properlypreserved, even if made in a pristine environment, canbecome a health risk when exposed to the yeast, mold,fungi and bacteria present in all of our homes. When we started out in this business, we heard thehorror stories concerning parabens and decided to tryto avoid them in the products we offer for sale. However, the realityis there are no great alternatives. Many of the manufacturers thatoffer paraben-free products (or products free from other chemical

preservatives) make disclaimers about the shelf lives of theirproducts or even the safety of the products they sell without chemicalpreservatives. They pass the risk of not using effective preservativeson to you, the consumer.

Some Truth About Parabens In the January/February 2004 issue of the Journal of Applied

Toxicology, British researchers reported that traces ofchemicals called parabens were found in breast-tumortissue of several patients, and hypothesized thatabsorbed parabens from underarm cosmetics mightcontribute to breast cancer. Another study by Jeffrey and Williams from theDepartment of Pathology of New York Medical Collegefound the hypothesis to be untenable and the supportingpaper to be seriously flawed on a number of counts.What other components were in the 20 breast samples?Nothing was said about the nature of the tumors ortheir location, no background on the patients, andnothing said about possible treatment histories, asparabens are used as excipients in numerous drugs,

including those used for IV treatment of breast cancer. A numberof other flaws are enumerated, including contamination issues.

Beauty Begins Within!Beating the Weight-Loss Yo-Yo? It was 1973 in Houston, Texas, when I beganworking for a major ladies’ health-spa chain andgetting interested in exercise, herbs, andvitamins. As I advanced to managing severalhealth clubs in Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and NewMexico, I realized the focus was not on gettinghealthy, but rather on losing weight and gettingthin by any means. The results were disastrousfor most women, resulting in a yo-yo weight lossand gain. I decided to open my own business, focusingon making lasting lifestyle changes. I startedBody Dynamics in Hobbs N.M. in the fall of1983 and it became the place to go to lose weightand really get in super shape.

Nothing Short of a Miracle Discovery? Over the years, I had studied herbs andvitamins and had been my own virtual guineapig, experimenting with different herbal andvitamin combinations. I found that the rightcombination of herbs and vitamins could provideoptimum health and energy. None of theproducts at the time combined all the ingredientsthat worked best for me into one product. I began to purchase individual herbs and mixmy own formulas! The results were staggering!Finally, after many years of indigestion andbowel problems, I no longer had them, and Ilost seven pounds without changing my diet. Iconsidered the results nothing short of a miracle!

Good Health in the Gut Produces WeightLoss on the Scale? I was so enthused about my “miracle” formula,I began giving it to my clients. They reportedfeeling better then ever, and many noticed theywere losing weight! I found that the demand formy product was more than I could handle, so Isought the help of a laboratory to make it forme. The lab’s administrator was amazed that Iwanted a product with 30+ ingredients. He saidthat most people who consulted withhim desired as few ingredients aspossible, to cut down on costs ofmanufacturing. However, I knew thatthe quality and number of ingredientswere necessary to get the same resultsI obtained with my homemadeformula. What makes the formula so uniqueis the amount of each one of theingredients and how they aresynergistic with each other. Mega-Cleanse was born in 1984.

Genuine Results Get Repeat Business! I relocated my business to Dallas in 1986, andsold the Mega-Cleanse Internal CleansingComplex to every new client. From 1986 until Iclosed the studio in 2000, I accumulatedthousands of customers. In fact, my formulashave become so popular that I have increasedproduction dramatically.

Buying Water for Skin Care?? In 1995, mainly because of my own frustration

with finding the best skin care at prices I couldafford, I began to research the cosmetic industry.I had satisfied customers who loved my herband vitamin formulas, and I wanted to create anatural skin-care line to provide a completehealth and beauty system. I found out that most cosmetic companiesoverpriced their products to compensate for theirenormous advertising budgets, fancy packaging,and sales/office support. Through my research, I also realized that everyone of the skin-care products I examined hadone common denominator ~ regardless of price,the product listed WATER as its first ingredient! It was obvious that most of these products weremainly water! I wanted to produce a top-qualityskin-care line that would be unique and reallyget results. Through my research, I realized thatALOE VERA would be the perfect base ~ notwater. The Skin Dynamics BBWI “Beauty BeginsWithin” natural skin-care system is aloe-verabased, contains DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CEster, 28 botanical extracts, Vitamins A, C, andE, Glycolic acid, a patented ingredient calledButylene Glycol Hydrocoytyl extract (derivedfrom Echinacea) and coneflower extract. Clinical studies have shown that by using thecombination of ingredients in the Skin DynamicsBBWI line, there is a 36% reduction in wrinklesand lines after four weeks! It’s great for all skintypes. My manufacturer tells me that these aresome of the best formulas he has ever seen! The Skin Dynamics BBWI “Beauty BeginsWithin” natural skin-care line ~ used inconjunction with the Body Dynamics herb andvitamin formulas ~ will rejuvenate your skinfrom the inside out. Older clients with dry, sun-damaged skinreport highly refined, virtually poreless skin withmore clarity, smoothness, and luminosity. Younger acne-prone clients notice thatbreakouts are reduced, if not totally eliminated,while scarring and dark spots disappear, and skin

takes on a healthy smooth glow.

I am excited about some upcoming health classes that we aregoing to be offering in the fall here at Abundant Life. One ofour staff members, Francine Yacoub, is finishing a course to

become a Certified Health and Nutrition Counselor. She is goingto be the instructor. I asked Francine to tell us something about herbackground in the health field and these exciting new classes.

Health Classes With Francine Well, Peggy, I owned a health food store 25 years ago. Therewere not many around then. I know you were one of the pioneers.Back then, if you ate avocados and drank fresh carrot juice, youwere considered a health nut. I nursed my son for two and a halfyears when it was fashionable to bottle feed. I remember my friendsjoking about how he would still be nursing well into his forties. I am very passionate about being able to help people with theirhealth problems. Since I have been here at Abundant Life for sevenyears, I have had many opportunities to do just that.

A Splendid Choice? For example, a lady came into the store complaining of joint painin her elbows, knees, and ankles. She appeared to be in her mid-thirties. I asked her if she drank soft drinks and she said that shedidn’t because she knew they were so hard on the body. I guessthey should really call it what it is ~ a hard drink! Then I asked herif she used the artificial sweetener, Splenda. She was quick to tellme that she had started using Splenda when she started her diet tolose weight. I asked her when she started on her diet and she toldme it was about six months ago. Then I asked her if she remembered when her joint painstarted. She looked surprised and told me it was about six monthago. BINGO! That gave me a chance to explain to her that therehave been some findings that Splenda could be causing some healthproblems. Then I told her about the alternative ~ Stevia. Stevia is a sugar substitute with no calories, but it does havenutritional value because it comes from a plant leaf. She was veryhappy to know that maybe just by changing this part of her diet thatshe might be free of pain.

Eczema and Milk? On another occasion, a pilot came in. Hehad not been able to fly for over a month because he was coveredall over with eczema. He wanted a cream to help the itching. Ofcourse, I started asking questions about his diet. I started by askinghim if he drank milk. He said that he loved milk, and that he dranka lot of it. When I explained to him that some people are highlyallergic to milk and that his rash could be from drinking milk, hedecided to switch to the alternative Rice Dream. Actually, I have seen many cases when eczema or psoriasis is ayeast rash from the antibiotics that the dairy industry is injecting inthe cows and the antibiotic is passed right into the milk and theninto the milk drinker, thus getting a dose of antibiotics every timethey drink a glass of milk. I have found through the years that many people are overwhelmedwhen they shop in Health Food stores. They don’t know how tobegin to change their diets. They are confused over whatsupplements to take. This is why I have decided to teach a class. Iam calling it Crash Course 101 ~ Help Your Health with AlternativeHealth Suggestions. The class will be at Abundant Life HealthFoods on Saturday morning from 10:30 to 12:30. The cost is $35.00,which includes books. I want it to be fun, informative and motivatingas well. It is sad to me that here in America we eat so much fast food. Weeven have a name for it. We call it junk food. I looked up themeaning of junk and its definition is rubbish or trash. How can wesay junk and food in the same sentence? Is it junk or is it food??? Finally, I do believe that some real foods can be very healing. Inthe future when someone comes in the store with compromisedhealth issues, I might suggest that they go home and drink 16oz ofPH 8.5 Kangen Water, wait an hour, then eat some tomatoes,peppers, olives, onions, garlic, and artichokes with 1/4 teaspoon oforegano oil. They might smell like a pizza, but they may also feellike a million dollars.

In December of 1994, I was told I had “maybe” two years tolive. I had Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease so bad I hadbeen in the hospital five times in two years, and spent over a

week on I.V. steroids ~ in addition to breathing treatments, inhalers,and medications. It had begun as a bad reaction to medications given during asurgery in 1992, and the steroids triggered my years of “pre-diabetic” hypoglycemia to turn into Type II Diabetes. I lost myvision and was very ill ~ in the hospital ~ before anyone checkedmy blood-sugar levels and realized what had happened. When Iwent home, I was a medical “basket case”, and had virtually noimmune system. I caught just about every virus going around, andI was sick most of the time. In 1994, I had just turned 47. I was themother of five, and grandmother of 3, and I did not want to die.

Saved by the Family Farm My brother, Dr. John Brewer, is a research scientist. He waslooking for a way to get the family farm to pay, so he could movehis family back to raise his kids in Kansas where we grew up. Awinemaking hobbyist for years, he decided to look into starting awinery in Kansas. Our mother was convinced Elderberries werereally good for your health, so she was growing lots of them. Aretired cardiac nurse, she was into natural foods and enjoyed raisingplants. John had experimented with making Elderberry Wine for 8 yearsand, after 200 formulas, he came up with the wine that launchedWyldewood Cellars. As we were waiting for our licenses and thefirst tanks of wine to finish, we made and sold Elderberry Jelly andSyrup, as well as Elderberry Wine Jelly and Syrup. These were,and still are, made one small batch at a time, with the sameingredients our grandmothers used. No corn syrup or cheapingredients ~ just old-fashioned good taste and quality.

A Taste of Healthy History As we were making the Elderberry products, I was frequentlytasting and getting some of the juice into my system. I began drinkinga glass of the wine a day when it was finished. My health madesuch immediate and startling improvements that we suddenlyrealized the difference was the Elderberry I was getting. After the research came out of Israel about the anti-viral properties

of Elderberries, we began to research moreabout the history of them and how they wereused. We discovered they have been used formedicinal purposes since Hippocrates, and widely used in Europeand by the Native Americans for colds, flu, coughs, upper respiratoryproblems, intestinal problems, asthma, arthritis, allergies, andconstipation. It contains many natural nutrients, as well as naturalanti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, and other properties.

Pure, Whole, Affordable Concentrate Personally, I got off all the meds and have not had a virus forover 12 ½ yrs now. Now as I near my 60th birthday in October, I amhealthier than I was in my 30s, and still don’t have wrinkles. Thestrong anti-oxidants in Elderberry are believed to slow aging. Ithink you will have to decide that for yourself, but I sure believe it. We came up with the Elderberry Juice Concentrate because ofthe way it helped my health so much, as well as others in the family.After seeing other products coming out that contained lots of sugar,syrups, alcohol, or strong additives, we felt people deserved a pure,whole, and affordable Elderberry juice concentrate The people who try it and use it are our best advertising. We havestacks of letters from customers who say it has helped them withmanaging their diabetes, arthritis, intestinal problems, allergies, viralillnesses, and many other things. We have letters from people whouse it with their animals. We have doctors who tell their patients totake it, for everything from asthma, allergies, and diabetes to gettingover a virus. The best part is that Elderberry is a food, and not a medicine.Some people decide they need more or less than others. You canput it in anything you want, or take it straight. According to ourtestimonials and personal experience, Elderberry has demonstratedno interference with medications, other than lessening the need formany of them, but that is a matter between you and your physician. Our Pure Elderberry Concentrate is available in North Texas atmany fresh produce markets and health food stores.

[HAYC note: What role did gluten or diet play in the formationof the tumors?] Parabens are a group of broad-spectrum preservatives (meaningthey kill a variety of microbes) used to prevent the growth of harmfulmicroorganisms, especially molds and yeast. Parabens are derivedfrom benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a chemical commonly found inplants. So, to some extent, parabens are “natural”. They are asnatural as some alternative preservatives being proposed, such asgrapefruit seed extract. Parabens have been used extensively forover 50 years and have been researched thoroughly. Parabens areused in very small concentrations, causing absolutely no reason for


Skin Care Scare Tacticsconcern for most people. For Skin Dynamics, we use 1/16th of1% parabens in any product. Check out the high-end, big-nameskin-care lines that tout natural ingredients and you’ll find a stringof various parabens.

One “Natural” Alternative Often touted Grapefruit Seed Extract is a chemically alteredform of grapefruit seed. If you’re going to call it “Grapefruit SeedExtract,” you could, by the same reasoning, call Sodium LaurylSulfate “Coconut Oil Extract.” We researched using the extractfor our own products, but rejected it as not effective.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!Thermography Center of Dallas • 214-352-8758 • North Dallas

The Thermography Center’s cutting-edge computerized thermography is safe, painless,non-radiating, affordable, and let’s you know what’s really going on in your body! by Genie Fields, DC

Have you ever wondered about thehealth of your breasts? Have youever thought how great it would be

to actually find out the state of your breastsbefore a lump or tumor is found on amammogram? Most tumors take years to develop to asize that can be seen on a mammo-gram. Butwhat is happening to the breast tissue duringthat time? Wouldn’t it be comforting toreally know? Can you really know? And what about a lesser known but just asthreatening condition called IBC ~inflammatory breast cancer, which has nolumps to see on a structural picture like amammogram? Now there is a safe, noninvasive way todetect inflammations, blockages, possibletoxins or damaged cells even before theyare a severe problem, and it is called Com-puterized Regulation Thermography (CRT2000). Using a highly sensitive contactprobe and sophisticated com-puter software~ which converts heat energy on the skininto electronic data signals seen on thecomputer monitor ~ we can measure thefunctionality of not only the breast tissue,but the function of all our organs and glands.Thus, at any time in our life, we can know ifwe are progressing toward disease, ortoward balance.

Blocked, Hot, Cold, or Toxic With the CRT 2000, scanning of the breasttissue is painless, non-radiating, and takesabout 30 minutes. The information gainedduring the scan is generated into a graphform (not infrared images), which allows forprecise and accurate interpretation. Thebreast information is then taken from thegraph and put into a visual to see the actualareas that are blocked, hot, cold, or toxic. A hot spot indicates inflammation of thetissue region. A blocked spot indicatesfailure of the point to compensate to atemperature change, possibly a sign of atumor or a cyst. A toxic spot is one thatoverreacts to the temperature change, a signthat can occur if toxins are present such aspesticides, or other chemical exposures. Acold point is excessively cold to begin withand can be seen in several neoplastic(abnormal growth) diseases such as DCIS(differential carcinoma in situ) or long-present calcifications.

A Graphic Picture Fourteen different criteria, based onconfirmed case studies, are used todetermine signatures for breast dysfunction.They include blocks in the liver, sternum,tonsil/lymph, stomach, and breast.Dysregulation in the ovaries is also a factor,

as well as increased chaos in the chest andbreast. We need the entire picture toaccurately assess the breast. The CRT 2000 is an adjunctive diagnosticdevice (FDA cleared in 1997). Thousandsof patients’ lives have been saved by itssurveillance of the body’s terrain, ofpossible causal infections distantly involved(in other parts or systems of the body), andof local immune-system events such aslymphatic influences or hormone receptorabnormalities. The three main categories pertaining tobreast diseases and conditions aremastopathy (meaning usually benign),fibrocystic, and suspicion for neoplastictendency.

Not a “Local” Disease Advances in themography research haveshown that breast cancer is not a localdisease, but a sign of failing, or failed,regional and global homeostatic regulation. Many people don’t realize that there areseveral functional systems of the body thatare highly influential in breast pathology.We must assess lymph origin and stress inthe lymphatic system, endocrine (glandular)imbalance, metabolic influences from sub-optimal organ function (liver, pancreas,

Did that title get your attention? Well the answer is neitherand both. The best approach, in most cases, is to use themtogether. Why? Let me review, in hopefully understandable

terms, what each one does. If you understand what each one does,then it will be easier to understand why they work so well together.

Chiropractic ~ Motion, Nerves, Blood, Lymph? At the most basic level, chiropractic restores proper motion tojoints that are not moving efficiently. Why is that important? Jointsthat do not freely move through their range of motion cause irritationto the nerves. This causes the muscles to tighten up around thejoint to protect it from damage. When muscles are tight for prolonged periods of time theyconstrict blood vessels and lymph chains. This causes a reductionof oxygen and nutrients going into the muscle and soft tissues, anda build-up of toxins and fluid in those tissues. Short term, this causesmuscle spasms and pain. Long term, the tissue can’t repair itselfproperly and you get the build-up of scar tissue and chronicconditions like osteoarthritis. Chiropractic is very good at restoringthe proper motion to the joints so that the above doesn’t happen.

Massage ~ Similar & Complimentary Massage therapy at its basic level physically reduces muscletightness and thereby frees up the joints, blood vessels and lymphchains. This would, of course, increase circulation to the tissuesand reduce the build-up of fluid in the tissues. Not to mention therelaxation and stress-reduction value, which have their own healthbenefits. As you can see, they both do similar and complimentary things.When used together, they generally speed up the healing process.Chiropractic can remove the underlying joint dysfunction thatcaused the muscle tightness, and massage therapy can speed up therelaxation of the muscles and the return of normal circulation tothe tissues. So which is better? Both of them used together.

it is in the shade, full sun, afternoon sun, or morning sun, etc. Thisis the time we all wait for. Don’t miss it! The Importance of Trees and Fall Plants Trees and fall plants enhance the season with a plethora ofcolor. The value to be learned from this onslaught of color is that,if one pays close attention, one can see how Mother Nature allowsfor, and adapts to, the harshness of summer. Plants such as calicarpa(American Beauty Berry) enhance one’s landscape with a hiddensurprise. The truth is that, if you wait long enough, beauty willcome. My recommendation is the dwarf variety over the standard,as it is less invasive, woody, and much more attractive and requiresless maintenance. Plants such as aster, coral berry, and chrysanthemums make greatfall color. Other fantastic fall color plants include flame leaf sumac,crape myrtle, redbud, and black hawk viburnum If you have never experienced a black hawk viburnum in all itcrimson glory, you are missing out. This is the most underused

ornamental tree with the most adaptability, utility, and return oninvestment of the North Texas area. The black hawk viburnum is asure winner! Even though there is still much to be said about fall, one thingthat cannot be ignored is to turn your automatic sprinkler systemsto manual. It is time to give your plants the blessings of natural rainduring the upcoming rainy season. Only run your sprinkler systemif your plants have gone 5 days without rain (depending onweather). A moist flowerbed is an insulated bed which is much moreadaptive to the extremely cold temperatures. In conclusion, fall is not only a time for thanksgiving; fall is atime of affirmation and glorification. This is a golden time toreconcile your unmet spring goals. The energy you put into yourfall planting reaps a greater return on investment than you get inthe short period of spring. Fall is for those who plan ahead. Happygardening.

Relax. You’re in the hands of thebest. With old, cracked silver/mercury amalgam fillings holdingtogether all eight of my molars, I

was in dire need of safe mercury removaland reconstructed teeth. I came to Dr. Golabinitially for these health concerns becausehe is the best in his field, using state-of-the-art technology. While some dentists might consider thebeauty of the finished product an “extra,”Dr. Golab, a consummate artist, considersbeauty a priority, second only to the healthand safety of your teeth. An admittedperfectionist, this man quietly correctedesthetic flaws left by other dentists, and evenfilled pinpoint cavities overlooked by otherswith enamel-toned material. He didn’t makea big deal about it, but I could see he wasvitally interested in creating the mostbeautiful teeth you can have after yourmedical needs had been satisfied. If you have had a less-than-favorableexperience in the dentist’s chair in the past,please be at ease. This is truly the nextgeneration in dentistry. Dr. Golab and hisstaff treat every patient warmly, taking the“edge” off, even as you walk in the frontdoor. Their concern for your comfort andsafety are obvious. For my extensive work (two sessions, one-half mouth each time) I relaxed in a beautifulroom with a blanket tucked around me whileI dozed and watched a movie with specialgoggles, pretty much unaware of the highly-trained medical professionals moving about

me, performing intricate procedures I’mglad I couldn’t see. It helped to know that Iwas in the hands of an expert who studiescontinuously, who is skilled in the latesttechniques, and who is passionate about hiswork. Every patient is different, of course, but Inever needed a pain pill after I got home ~both times. As a layman, I interpret this as aclean job with minimal trauma to my tissues. Dr. Golab removed dangerous, decayingmetals from my mouth and left in their placeeight beautiful teeth made of the newest,strongest materials available. Now I can

throw my head back and laugh withoutexposing a mouth full of silver. Who’d thinkjaw teeth could be gorgeous? Like I said, relax.

Thyroid control, if done thoroughly, can be one of the mostchallenging and confusing medical decision-makingdilemmas that a family practice provider faces. The

Association of Clinical Endocrinology and the EndocrinologySociety have not come to an agreement on the standard of care foroptimal thyroid function. Thus, many patients have been told thattheir thyroid is “fine.” But, truthfully, what is fine?

Lazy Thyroid One knowledgeable pharmacist, Joe Paoletti, nicknames a lazy,untreated thyroid as functional hypothyroidism. He suggests thatthis is caused by an imbalance of T3 and T4, excess T4 therapy, orincreased thyroid binding globulin from estrogen or pregnancy. Wasyour TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) simply checked, or wasan extensive thyroid panel drawn? Optimal thyroid function should be considered the goal insteadof settling for “normal” thyroid function. Illnesses such as highblood pressure, high cholesterol, infertility, fatigue, low sex drive,and obesity are influenced by a poorly functioning thyroid. Whyaddress multiple diseases and ignore the underlying potential cause?

Modern Life & Thyroid Most people know symptoms of low thyroid. Some of thosesymptoms include fatigue, weight gain, irritable bowel, depression,headaches, leg cramps, general weakness, and immune deficiencies. But did you know that the modern American way of lifecontributes to hypothyroid function? Stress, environmental toxins,diet, medicines, and much more all play a role. Other factors thatprevent the thyroid from functioning optimally include naturalaging, alcohol, alpha-lipoic acid, cigarette smoking, diabetes,obesity, fasting, growth hormone deficiency, lead, mercury, lowadrenal state, pesticides, excess soy, surgery, and radiation. Conversely, factors that positively support natural thyroid functioninclude human growth hormone, natural testosterone, melatonin(sleep), insulin, tyrosine, high protein diet, proper hormonal balance,and ashwaganda (Indian Ginseng).

Nutrition & Thyroid Let’s focus on nutrition and how it affects thyroid. Lack ofselenium, chromium, zinc, iron, iodine, copper, vitamin A, D, E,B2, B6, and B12 discourages your thyroid from functioningoptimally. Did you know that artificial sweeteners cause chromium wasting?Did you know that there are approximately six packets of artificialsweetners in one Diet Coke? Also, are you aware that if you takeyour multivitamin with a fiber supplement or the new Alli product,your fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K will not be absorbed well?Maybe your thyroid numbers look good, but your vitamin Dnumbers don’t. When was your last blood-level check for vitaminD?

Medications & Thyroid What about medicines that negatively influence thyroid function?Beta blockers, birth control pills, iodinated contrast agents,

phenytoin, SSRIs (Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft),theophyline, estrogen, glucocorticoids,opiates, chemotherapy, lithium, and fluoridesupplementation are just a few. Ferroussulfate, sucralfate, bile acid sequestrants, aluminum hydroxide-containing antacids, lactose, and calcium carbonate also alter thyroidabsorption. How many of us are on any one of these at one time oranother?

What Can Help? So, what can we do to support our thyroid besides reevaluatewhat goes in our mouth? Some suggestions would be to takeselenium 200-800 mcg daily (or eat fish two to three times perweek); do a gluten-free diet for at least 60 days; remove aspartame,trans fats, and processed whole foods from our diet; correct anyhormone imbalances, especially DHEA insufficiency and adrenaldysfunction; and restore proper gut function. Furthermore, kick-start your thyroid with iodine, vitamin B6, L-tyrosine, zinc,magnesium, and glutamine. (Did you know that B vitamins are bestabsorbed in a sublingual liquid or injection versus a pill?) If your provider chooses to supplement with commercial thyroid,request brand name only. Studies have shown absorption variesfrom 48 to 80% from generic to brand name. Plus, it is dependenton the product formulation as well as character of the intestinalcontents. Absorption is increased by fasting and decreased by lowstomach acid. It is best taken on an empty stomach, separate fromfood, medicines, herbals, and vitamins.

Watch for Changes Also, seasons change and no “one size fits all.” Do not wait toolong to recheck the function of your thyroid. If you have gainedweight, been diagnosed with a new condition, had a change inmedicines, had a baby, or had ongoing major stressors for a seasonof time, then consider rechecking your thyroid. In conclusion, Henry Harrower, MD, in Endocrine Fundamentalsstates, “Are not the feelings of the patients often as clinicallyvaluable as the other feelings? In no case can we wholly discountthem. A good laboratory report is cold comfort to a patient whosesymptoms remain unchanged, and the doctor can repeat such reportsuntil he is blue in the face, but they will not help his patient much ifunaccompanied by controlled symptoms and changed feelings. Thesuccessful physician is the one who knows best how to make hispatients feel better.” This is our goal at North Texas FamilyMedicine. Call today for an appointment ~ 940-686-0860.

Aging ~ we all know it’s coming, butwe’d like to put it off as long aspossible! What if we could repair,

reverse, or slow down the effects of aging?! You have seen plenty of commercials thatpromote surgery or the application of strongchemicals to your face. There is anotheroption that is technologically advancedAND completely natural! The Quantum Physics Biofeedback(QPB) EPFX scans the entire body,determines your top stressors causingpremature aging, then sends the correctingfrequencies back to your cells to repair andremodel your skin, correct the abnormaldeposition of cellulite, and give you backyour energy, vitality, and youthfulappearance.

Cellulite! Did you know…?• Layers 2 and 3 of your skin don’t formcellulite!• Cellulite (lipodystrophy) is deposited intothe top (superficial) layer of your skin.• Fat deposited into layers 2 and 3 isregulated by diet and exercise.• Cellulite is regulated more by hormonebalance (or imbalance!)• Unbalanced estrogen weakens connectivetissue around the fat cells, which allow thefat globule cells to bulge out, causing bumpsand dimples (cellulite!).• Estrogen and progesterone levelsdetermine how much fat is stored in yourbody.• We use the QPB technology to balanceyour hormones and that decreases cellulite!

Toxic Build-Up! Did you know…? Damaged connective tissue (such ascollagen and elastin) is weak deformedtissue that can interfere with lymphaticdrainage and injure delicate capillaries. Thiscauses a build-up of toxins that further

damages cell integrity, causing more agingdegeneration. We need to get at the causesthroughout your whole body! Not justsurface treatment!

How does the QPB do a face lift,reverse aging, and decreasecellulite? This miraculous technology is able toenergetically scan and harmonize the body’sstresses and imbalances, reducing thestressors that cause aging, hormoneimbalance, and connective tissue weakness. QPB technology is based on the fact thata healthy living cell operates at a specificvibration frequency. If that frequency isaltered because of drugs, chemicals,accidents, emotional disappointments,illness, or the wear and tear of everyday life,the cell becomes stressed, causing hormoneimbalance and weakened connective tissuethat results in crow’s feet at the eyes, agespots, lines, creases, wrinkles, and droopy,saggy skin. We send over 9,000 different frequenciesinto the body four different times. Thesefrequencies then bounce back to thecomputer where they are measured andinterpreted. Then, the correctingfrequencies are sent in to remedy thestresses. Specially designed attachmentstreat specific areas of concern. One of the benefits to the QuantumPhysics Biofeedback protocol is that wetreat the whole body with anti-aging, stressreducing energy frequencies ~ not just theface or skin! After all, it is the internaloperations of the body that produce healthyskin. Healthy insides make beautiful healthyoutsides!

What should you do? Get a Demo! Call to set up an appointment for a 30-minute scan & demonstration. This isusually $60. If you say you read about QPBin Health Around Your Corner, we will dothe same scan and demonstration for only$30 if you call for an appointment byNovember 30, 2007!

What Would Your Give For a Good Night’s Sleep?

ALL-PURE

What would you give for a goodnight’s sleep? That is a relevantquestion in today’s fast-paced

world. Recently, a health professional cameinto the store seeking help for insomnia.When presented with a choice, he took themost expensive product. A few days later,he came back and exclaimed, “It was worthevery penny!” A satisfied customer, now he’srecommending it to his patients. This natural product addresses a numberof problems we face when trying to get agood night’s sleep, namely: anxiousness, notgetting to sleep and not staying asleep.Let’s look at the ingredients:• Vitamin B6 aids in utilization of aminoacids• 4-amino-3-phenylbutyric acid—a gabaderivative known for its ability to alleviatesymptoms of anxiousness and sleepdifficulties• Gaba and L-theanine give a relaxing effectto support a normal sleep pattern• Citicoline helps one stay asleep• 5-HTP-boosts serotonin levels for better

quality sleep Anne, Peak’s manager, will testify abouthow this product has put her in REM sleepmany a night. Call or come by and ask Anneabout the product and its effectiveness.Remember, Peak can ship anywhere! Normal sleep has two states, REM (rapideye movement), and non-rapid eyemovement. This is the state where mostpeople dream. There are actually five stagesof sleep, REM sleep being the last stage.We repeat these stages throughout the night.(Prescription for Natural Healing, pg. 526.) Another top-quality sleep supplementAnne likes is a comprehensive homeopathicformula that helps people fall asleep, stayasleep and “turn off” their brain. Peak’s staffand owner represent decades of experienceand education in natural health products. Weare always happy to answer questions forour customers. What are some things we can do to preventpoor sleep? “Before melatonin becamepopular, for 28 years I recommendedcalcium/magnesium in the evening and Bvitamins in the morning to encouragehealthy sleep,” says Anne. Did you knowthat B1, B2, B3, B5, and folic aciddeficiencies will often manifest in insomnia?(Dr. Cass Ingram’s Nutrition Tests for Better

Health)

Effects of Evening Eating Anne lists some things you’d neverassociate with a sleep problem ~ somethingas simple as eating fruit or sugar in theevening. Most everyone knows to avoidcaffeine, but most do not think aboutavoiding soft drinks, some herbs, or evenCoQ10. An overactive thyroid can play apart in poor sleep. Parasites can play havocwith sleep. Note that, if one is particularlyrestless at the time of a full moon. Not eatingright for your blood type can play a part,this being experienced personally by Anne.

Melatonin? Is taking melatonin a good idea? Annesays, in her experience, it seems to work forsome, but not for others. “Some experiencebad dreams, others do not. If your bodymakes enough, you probably don’t need it,”she advises. It works great when usedtemporarily to reset your body clock due tojet lag. Check out other helps, including L-tryptophan, herbs, essential oils, teas andVaxa’s Parasitin+ for parasites to help you“turn out the lights.” Call Anne Hill at 972407-0600.

Assessing the body’s terrain is anotheressential key in determining areas ofdysfunction. Our terrain is our body’s wholeinternal environment, including theconnective tissue and the interstitial fluidscomprised of protein, enzymes, minerals,and neuroendocrine transmitters. Unhealthy terrain is created over years ofdisturbances in the body’s electromagneticfield, chemical toxins, negative thoughts,untreated trauma including medicalprocedures, and acid/alkaline imbalances,which provoke fungal, bacterial ormycobacterial progression.

Is It Really Your Cholesterol? Or Your Thyroid?!

Understanding why you have highlevels of cholesterol andtriglycerides is the key to taking the

correct measure! Essentially there are two and only tworeasons for these to be elevated: Your bodycannot break them down, or your body ismaking too much. Very rarely is the amountof cholesterol you ingest a part of theproblem, unless your numbers are very high.

A Sluggish Thyroid? Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides,plus or minus high blood pressure, can beone of the first signs of a sluggish thyroid.A few other signs of a low-functioningthyroid are cracked or peeling skin, hair loss,and loss of the lateral 1/3 of the eyebrow.Of course, there are many reasons thethyroid can be sluggish, a few of which arenutritional deficiency, low adrenals, highestrogen, or a poorly functioning liver, andwe can discuss this in another article.Actually, dietary ~ the gluten in the wheatyou eat may also be part of the problem.

Understanding Cholesterol Basic chemistry of how we produceenergy is a good place to start to reallyunderstand cholesterol. We make our energyby burning either carbs (sugars) or fats(triglycerides) [the clear arrows].Specifically, fats (triglycerides) utilize betaoxidation to yield acetyl CoA, andcarbohydrates (glucose) also get brokendown to acetyl CoA, which then feeds intothe Krebs cycle (the circle in the diagram)which spins clockwise to ultimately yieldour energy ATP from electron transport. Thefaster the Krebs cycle spins, the more energyis produced, and the more acetyl CoA isused. The faster the Krebs cycle spins, the morecarbs and fats we burn. It is the thyroidhormone, T3, in particular that makes theKrebs cycle spin. It therefore makes sensethat, if there is not enough T3, then we donot burn fats or carbs, which results indecreased energy, getting fat and being tired. However, it also makes sense that, as weslow the Krebs cycle down, acetyl CoA mustbuild up. This is one way that we increaseour cholesterol and triglycerides, becausethe body will divert the acetyl CoA through

a series of enzymes and form cholesterol.The hormone-sensitive lipase which allowsus to break down fats (triglycerides) is alsodependent on T3. The most commonnutrients to affect T3 production are iodine,selenium cysteine, zinc and manganese.

Effects of Statins Statin drugs block this enzyme conversion,as does red yeast rice extract; red yeast is asafer alternative with several biochemicaladvantages. However, neither should beused longterm, because both also decrease

Is a side-effect-causing drug truly the answer to a symptom like elevated levelsof cholesterol and triglycerides? Or is the real problem somewhere else?

CoQ 10, which is essential for energyproduction and all muscle contraction,including the heart. It is also important toremember that statin drugs can cause mildgastrointestinal upset and possible changesin liver enzymes, or a muscle conditioncalled rhabdomyolysis. Therefore, longtermuse of either of these warrants CoQ 10supplementation. Rule of thumb is for each10 mg of a statin, supplement 90 mg of CoQ10.

Treat Symptom or Cause? Rather than treating the symptom of highcholesterol with a statin, why not figure outthe cause. If it is not the thyroid, then what?Remember, that cholesterol is the precursorto hormones like estrogen, progesterone andtestosterone, plus cholesterol is veryimportant in the cell membranes and cellfunction. It is not uncommon for our bodyto release cholesterol out of the cellmembranes because we are lacking thecorrect amount of the good fats likephosphatidyl choline (one of severalimportant phospholipids). “Yes, but if I do not take my statin, I willget a heart attack!” Why not increase yourgood fats to help hold your cholesterol in

the cell members in the first place? Two good sources of phosphatidyl cholineare free-range or organic eggs, and lecithin.Recall that the first heart attacks werediagnosed in the early 1900s, right aroundthe time farming methods changed. Low-quality eggs contain few or little of the goodfats. I eat four to five free-range eggseveryday and my cholesterol is 112. It is very important that, when loweringor discontinuing a statin drug, it is done sounder the supervision of a medical doctor.The most common nutrients to affect highcholesterol are iodine, selenium cysteine,niacin, vitamin C, taurine, glycine,panathine, phosphatidyl choline and omega3 oils. Addressing the cause and not thesymptom is the true solution to all yourhealth problems. This is our approach at TheFamily Chiropractic Center.

Precious New Children from RussiaPrecious New Children from RussiaPrecious New Children from RussiaPrecious New Children from RussiaPrecious New Children from Russia

My newest little ones came to me June 23, 2007, at theages of 23 months (Timothy) and the girls at 13 months(Christianna Joy and Elaina Christine). They were

accustomed to drinking Kefir (a fermented milk product). Eachchild had a rickets anemiadiagnosis. I am feeding themfresh goat milk and fresh goatmilk kefir. When I cannot get goat milk(source: La Cuesta Farms), I usea local source for Jersey milkand the children drink it plainor as kefir. I feed them avocadosalmost every day and other soft fruits like mashed peaches, pears,bananas. I also cook millet and quinoa (gluten free) together in boilingwater or broth (with finely diced onions, sea salt and butter) andkeep this on hand for a meal or two each day. Millet is reported tobe high in calcium and iron and quinoa is known as a super food.Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is full of fiber and is great fornursing mothers and as a baby food. It is recommended aroundthe world to help moms produce more breastmilk. My olderchildren and husband love quinoa. It cooks up like a pilaf or veryfluffy rice. It cooks faster than rice and can also be eaten raw (afterit has been soaked and rinsed). My goal is to give my children something fermented (cheese,

yogurt, kefir), something raw (avocado, fresh fruit or veggies),and then, if needed, something cooked (preferably something likethe quinoa dish mentioned above). I have noticed that fermentedfoods seem to help each child with digestion. As for supplements, the baby girls are getting a liquid vitaminand Timothy is getting chewable vitamins. I also give them codliver oil (for vitamin D) and an iron/herb supplement. Our doctorrecommended a vitamin D2 supplement for the next few monthsto help combat rickets, so we are doing that right now as well.

Quinoa/Millet Dish (Gluten Free)1 cup of Millet 1 cup of Quinoa2 Tbl of diced onions ½ stick or less of butterWater or Veggie/Chicken/Beef broth – your choice (enough tocover the dry ingredients – be generous as the millet and quinoasoak up a lot of water)Saute the onions with butter, then add grains and your liquid. .cookon high and then turn down to simmer for 25 minutes (or followpackage directions) Enjoy hot, cold, etc.!

Texas’ First “Bottled Water”All-Pure Water Store • Denton • 940-566-3332

cleans acustomer’s

bottleOn the sun-baked open range south of Fort Worth, a wranglerencountered a wagon pulled by four big oxen. In the bedwere six casks. “They call me Shultz,” said the driver, “and

I carry precious cargo.” This enterprising German immigrant was a welcome sight forChisholm Trail cowboys. He had seen a need and responded. Duringdrives, wranglers were forced to drink creek water, river water, orwater that Old Cookie boiled off. If they were lucky, they mightpass a spread with cold, sweet Texas well water. Shultz had dug a deep well and found cold, sweet water. He filledhis casks and met the herds on the trail. He charged two bits (25cents for you youngsters) for a canteen full of water and the cowboysgladly paid it. Jerry & Dianne Koltes from the All-Pure Water Store, located onthe NE corner of Teasley Lane and S. I-35 East (by Brookshiresand Applebee’s), can’t deliver water like Shultz did because, today,a special delivery license is required, and it is different from thelicense required for a water store. But the wranglers and cowboys come from far and wide to filltheir gallon and 5-gallon “canteens” for less per gallon than the

two bits that Shultz got! Now, don’t that beat all! The store sells reverse osmosis water & ice, coolers with a 5-year warranty in black, white, and stainless steel (can also beserviced in the local area), and beautiful designer crocks andstands. They also have showerheads and bath beads tofilter chlorine. All sizes of quality bottles are sold; and your bottles are ozone-cleaned for bacteria and odors, then filled with great RO water,and topped with a free cap. And, on your first visit, up to 5GALLONS FREE is the standard. Water plans can reduce yourcost per gallon, as well as the OUTSIDE Vending Machineavailable24/7. Jerry is also busy selling siding, windows, and patios inCraftmaster Builders, but he hopes you’ll stop by and see “the storewith the blue floor.” I wonder what Shultz would’ve thought ofthat!

Herb Talk by Jo Anne Boudreau,The Herb Lady

Many of my starter herbs are grownin my 10-foot-wide and 96-foot-long greenhouse garden.

Customers visiting my herb farm in thewinter and early spring rave about the beautyof the geraniums, nasturtiums and otherflowering cool weather plants that grow andbloom among the herbs and vegetables inthis garden. Cuttings are taken and rootedfrom lavenders, lemon grass, wormwoods,chaya, and many others. Small plants ofepazote, basils, oregano, mints, lippia dulci,tomatos, and peppers that come up fromseed are potted to sell. I plant rows ofmustards, bok choy, parsley, chervil, Swisschard, dandelions and other greens in thisgreenhouse garden for lots of fresh, organicgreens to eat all winter long. As I was getting the greenhouse gardenready for planting, I picked up a heapingarmload of grass to dump in thewheelbarrow and a black widow spider fellto the ground. I crushed it with my shoe andfelt a painful burning in my leg just abovethe knee. A rectangular rash the size of acredit card was rising on my leg. I quicklywalked to the field next to the greenhouseand cut a Milkweed stem and smeared themilky latex sap on the spider bite. It burnedlike crazy but I know the sap counteractsthe venomous bite of black widow andbrown recluse spiders. I went inside andsprayed the wound with TransdermalMagnesium Chloride oil and took Nonicapsules to clean the poison from my body,

and stirred some Turmeric powder into aglass of water to take as a naturalantihistamine. I made a Native Healing Claypack to put on the wound site to draw outthe venom and swelling. The day after the black widow bite, I feltrotten and numb all over, but the wound sitehad reduced to the size of a silver dollar andthe swelling was gone. A black widowspider bite is worse than a rattlesnake bite. Iwill continue to take the Noni capsules untilthe spider bite is completely healed. I drinkNative Healing Clay water and Turmericwater on an empty stomach every morningas a general cleansing tonic. TURMERIC is nature’s cortisone and apowerful antihistamine. It protects againstfree radicals, lowers cholesterol, reducespain and swelling in joints, muscles, andspine. Has potent anti-cancer activity. Itprotects the throat, stomach, and colon fromcancer. It is a powerful but gentle liver andgall bladder cleanser. Gets rid of allergies,gas, and parasites. Helps digestion. It is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral. TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUMCHLORIDE OIL: A woman had severemuscle cramps. After visiting severaldoctors with no relief, she tried TransdermalMagnesium Spray that helped herimmediately. Spray muscle cramps and thecramp goes away quickly. TransdermalMagnesium spray treats depression,migraines, anxiety and panic attacks,ADHD, bowel disease, fatigue, heart

disease, high blood pressure, and insomnia.Fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, eye twitches,cramps, and chronic neck and back pain canbe caused by magnesium deficiency. SprayMagnesium Chloride Oil on the skin and itgoes to whereever it’s needed in the body. Awoman got rid of bulging varicose veins thatwere covering her legs in one year ofspraying her legs twice a day withMagnesium Chloride Oil. NATIVE HEALING CLAY ~ Treat insectbites and stings with a Native Healing Claypack and drink clay water. Clay has beenfound to treat acute bacterial foodpoisonings. It absorbs toxins, bacteria, andviruses. It pulls poisons from the stomach,liver and intestines. It relieves the heavyburden of the liver as it purifies theblood. Clay water is extremely effective inremoving infections caused by E.coli,Shigella, and Salmonella. Native HealingClay is said to have the magnetic pullingpower of two football fields. Researchersare finding that people of the Bible wholived 800 years ago ate and drank clay, livedin clay caves, or houses on clay mountains. Find Native Healing Clay, TransdermalMagnesium Chloride Oil, and QualityTurmeric in the herb store at Boudreau HerbFarm, 6 miles north of Mineral Wells,TXon Hwy 281, just past the big water tower.Farm and store open Wed. thru Sat. from10AM to 5PM.

Fall Is Time for Organic Pre-emergent Weed Control& Planting Trees, Shrubs, Winter Gardens & More!See Alan or Stephanie at the Aubrey store, or Keith at Denton, for expert adviceregarding all your organic product needs & questions

Fall is the perfect time to get a jump-starton troublesome spring and summerweeds. Applying a pre-emergent now

can help eliminate annual weed seeds from ger-minating, thus minimizing the need for post-emergent weed herbicides. An organic approach to pre-emergent weedcontrol can also be obtained by using CornGluten Meal, a natural pre-emergent weed con-trol and fertilizer. It can be used in vegetablegardens as a fertilizer and can be useful in weedcontrol. This is a powerful fertilizer, which willcreate large, healthy weeds if applied afterweeds have germinated. Corn Gluten Meal re-duces weeds such as henbit, dandelions, crab-grass, and grass burrs.

Soil Amendment & Bed Preparation Fall is also a good time to add compost andother organic soil amendments for both newand existing plantings. The roots are still work-ing all through the winter. New plants need toget their roots established. If they are planted

in well-amended soil in the fall, the new rootshave the opportunity to get established andready for spring growth. Soil is the resting place of a plant’s root. Thefunction of the root is to provide anchorage,absorption, conduction, and storage. The func-tion of the soil is to make those processes avail-able to the root. Without proper preparationand amendments, it will be difficult for theplant to achieve its maximum potential. Depending upon the conditions of your soil,additions of lavasand, green sand, compostedmanure, and many other available amend-ments will ensure healthy, vigorous plants,shrubs, and trees. For clay soil, the recommended bed mix istwo parts soil to one part compost. Drainageis a big problem. With some exceptions likewillows and cypress, nothing kills a plant fasterthan soggy roots. For sandy soil, moisture and nutrient reten-tion is a problem. Use from 1/3 to 1/2 com-post with sandy soil. For all soil types, remem-

ber evenly moist ~ no “wet feet” for the roots~ and plenty of loose, non-compacted organicmatter. If you must collect grass clippings, compostthem and put them back into the soil. Put themower discharge on mulch. Soil energizerssuch as dried or liquid molasses enable thatchto break down more efficiently, as does CornGluten Blend (corn gluten on a yeast culture).Avoid high-nitrogen products for the lawn asthey can cause late vigorous growth which, ifexposed to a freeze, can be transported downto the root and cause die-back. Dormant oil spray is highly recommendedonce all leaves have dropped in late fall, earlywinter. This smothers any eggs and diseases(molds & fungi) that are trying to hibernate.Essentially we follow the rule: an ounce ofprevention is worth a pound of cure!

Dear friend,

Confessions are tough. Real tough. But, sometimes aconfession can set the record straight, and I want to givecredit where credit is due. Before I talk about my confes-sion, though, let me say a few other things first. Let mestart by explaining the photo in this letter. I’m the one inthe middle and that’s my husband beside me. Let me tellyou my story.

Years ago something happened to me that changed mylife forever.

“I remember like it was yesterday, although I was just inhigh school at the time. It was the day I got hired to workfor this incredible man. The more we talk and the more Ilearn about him, the more I get interested in what he tellsme. He tells me how excited he is to go to work everydayand how passionate he is about his job. He loves seeingkids, families and all kinds of people come to see him.And, that’s not all…

You see, this incredible man is a doctor, but not just anydoctor. He tells me that his type of doctor has a very dif-ferent way of looking at health. They understand that thebody knows how to heal itself, and because of that thesedoctors do not use drugs or surgery at all. But, there’smore…

He tells me stories about kids that were really sick, andgot help nowhere else, getting well. He tells me stories ofpeople with terrible migraines that get well. He talksabout people crawling in and walking out. I can tell hemakes a positive impact on their lives and that they alllove him for the miracles they see happening. By theway, this amazing doctor is a Chiropractor.

After hearing my new boss’ story I am fascinated andimpressed. It was soon after that I begin to witness all ofthese wonderful testimonies of his patients. I am sotouched by what chiropractic has done for these patientsthat I eventually decide to go to chiropractic schoolmyself. Now, I, too, am a chiropractor. And, you knowwhat? I’ve never looked back; it was the best thing thatI’ve ever done. I have the best job in the world. And,that’s how it happened!”

Now for Michael and Alaina, they are twins and wereborn at 26 1/2 weeks and spent their first 3 1/2 years of lifein and out of the hospital. They were taking medicationsthree times a day everyday! Their parents were very tiredof always being in the pediatricians office taking medica-tions and thought that there had to be a better way. That’swhen they decided to try chiropractic. Alaina sufferedfrom attention deficit tendencies, asthma and was takingmedications regularly. After getting adjusted not only hasshe been able to focus better and doesn’t struggle like sheused to, but her asthma is no longer an issue and is off ofall her medications! Michael also struggled with asthmaand motor development issues. He was born with emphy-sema, a collapsed lung and suffered from a misaligned ribcage. After getting regular chiropractic adjustments, he is

off all of his medications, including his steroids for hisasthma and has grown 3 inches in a year and a half. Hismotor development problems continue to improve. Theyare now both happy and healthy and not riddled withbeing sick and taking medications all the time! Theirmom, Shannon also states that “chiropractic has also ben-efited us financially by saving us money! We no longerspend $400 a month on prescription medications. If thetwins do get sick it never lasts long and is not as severe,they recover much faster and don’t have to take all thosemedications.”

It’s strange how life is, because now children come to seeme for asthma and childhood illnesses. Also they come tome with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neckpain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents,backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness inlimbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

Several times a day patients thank me for helping themwith their health problems. But I can’t really take thecredit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone ofanything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjust-ment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds byhealing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simpleas that!

Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a hostof so-called experts out there. They tell people a lot ofthings that are just plain ridiculous about my profession.But the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginiastudy that showed that over 90% of patients who saw achiropractor were satisfied with their results. That’s justincredible!

Forty-eight million Americans no longer have healthinsurance, and those who do have found that their bene-fits are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in.Many people find that they actually save money on theirhealth care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Anotherway to save…studies show that chiropractic may doubleyour immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. Theimmune system fights colds, the flu, and other sickness-es. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much.This is especially important if you are self-employed.

And an entire week of care in my office may cost whatyou could pay for one visit elsewhere.You Benefit from an Amazing Offer - Look, it should-n’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. Youare going to write a check to someone for your health careexpenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amountfor chiropractic. When you bring in this article (by July27, 2006) you will receive our entire new patient exam for$37 out of pocket. That’s with x-rays, computerizedscan….the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost youup to $250 elsewhere. And, further care is very affordableand you’ll be happy to know that We have affordablefamily plans and we file insurance. You see I’m not try-ing to seduce you to come see me with this low start upfee, then to only make it up with high fees after that.Further care is very important to consider when makingyour choice of doctor. High costs can add up veryquickly.

Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s nomisunderstanding about quality of care just because Ihave a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee.And best of all our office has one of the only computer-ized adjusting machines in the area. This computer canshow you your improvements immediately on the screen.Your spine gets adjusted without hearing any “cracking”sound. It’s awesome.My qualifications…I did my undergraduate studies inKinesiology and Health Sciences in Ontario, Canada. I’ma graduate of Parker Chiropractic College from right herein Dallas and have advanced training in prenatal and pedi-atric care. My husband and I practiced in SouthernCalifornia seeing thousands of patients and then wemoved our practice to Flower Mound over two years ago.We’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to somemovie stars that you may know. We just have that lowexam fee to help more people who need care. Our officewas voted #1 Chiropractor in Denton County for the 2ndyear in a row.

Our assistants names are Barbara, Bethany and Marilyn. Ipractice with my wonderful husband, Dr. Steven Le andthey’re awesome!

Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our bestto make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service,at an exceptional fee. Our office is called STONECREEK FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC and is at 2200Morriss Road, Ste 200 (we are in Stone Creek Plaza atMorriss Road and FM 3040). Our phone number is 972-874-7554. Call today for an appointment. We can helpyou. Thank you.

-Laura Kukucska Le, D.C.

P.S. When accompanied by the first, we are also offeringthe second family member this same examination for only$17.P.P.S. Can you imagine not having to wait at a doctor’soffice? You will be seen within minutes of your appoint-ment.

It seems everyone is all in a tiff over salt,and the consensus is that all salt is badbecause it will lead to high blood

pressure and heart disease. I would like tosubmit to you that the medical communityisn’t exactly telling the truth. The American Medical Association(AMA), the American Heart Association(AHA), the American Dietetic Association(ADA), and the National Institutes of Healthhave begun a campaign to cut the salt intakeof Americans by one-half. The AMA is evenpushing the Food and Drug Administrationto withdraw salt’s designation as “safe,”according to UCLA’s Healthy Years. As usual with controlling organizations,there are a few things left out. Why is theretoo much salt in diets? Because industrialfood manufactures destroy the nutrients infood and they enhance it with things theythink we like ~ salt, and sugar (high fructosecorn syrup). They also use poor quality foodand “enhance it with MSG” ~ which is oneof the causes of obesity. What should we do? Stop eating foodsadvertised on TV and the media (nutritiousfood doesn’t have a high enough profit

margin to be advertised and still make aprofit). Read labels ~ this isn’t difficult, andyou will find some of the strangest productswith salt added and you will scratch yourhead and wonder, “Why the addition?” Ask yourself, “What is salt?” It is anessential substance that we have to have orour bodies will stop working. There havebeen salt wars because people knew that ifthey didn’t have salt, they would die. Thechemical designation for salt is NaCl ~sodium chloride. Where does it come from?Mostly from some kind of “salt” mine orevaporated seawater. Salt is usually mixedwith minerals, whetherfrom the ocean orunderground mines.However, the saltmanufacturers makemoney intwo basicways ~ sellsalt and/or sell trace minerals. They makeconsiderably more money selling off thetrace minerals and then taking the remainingNaCl and adding a very small amount ofiodine (to prevent goiters, but not enoughto prevent thyroid disease) and then an anti-caking agent that usually contains analuminum compound (associated withAlzheimer’s disease). A lot of patients and friends get all warmand fuzzy when they tell me they are well

Good Salt ~ Bad SaltBefore you condemn all salt, read this.

informed and purchase sea salt. I am sorryto report that most of the sea salt has thetrace minerals removed and isn’t any betterthan grocery store salt. One of the most important things that weknow today is that high blood pressure iscaused by the lack of magnesium (notexcessive salt). Check out Dr Sherry Roger’sThe High Blood Pressure Hoax. Why is thistrue? Because there are no trace minerals inthe food we eat Redmond Minerals produces a salt dugfrom ancient oceans in Utah that have driedup and been covered over for manythousands of years, so there is also nopollution in their products (as can be in seasalt). The salt is called Real Salt and it hasapproximately 52 trace minerals in it,including magnesium. This company hasthousands of testimonials about people whoswitched from table salt to Real Salt andtheir blood pressure returned to normal. We need ocean minerals (because there are92 trace minerals that are plant derived andionic), virgin salmon oil (Omega III’s, DHA,EPA’s and others) that is processed withoutdamage, and locally grown food wheneverpossible. As simple as this sounds, this“diet” probably would prevent 50 % or moreof the disease that exists in this country andin other industrialized countries today.

Once the QXCI/EPFX has measuredvitamin levels, amino acids, nutrients, foodsensitivities, minerals, enzymes, toxins,hormone levels, bacteria, molds, fungi,viruses, and the health/balance of internalorgans, tooth/organ health, it then comparesthese figures against the “norm”. The

“norm” comparison is helpful to showanything that is imbalanced and/or affectingone’s health. The QXCI/EPFX is a highly sophisticatedElectro-Physiological System that utilizes anEvoked Potential Stimuli with sensorsattached by straps to the ankles, wrists andforehead. These measure and feed resonanceinformation between the QXCI/EPFX andthe client. After measuring the body’sfrequencies, the QXCI/EPFX feeds back itsown frequencies to reduce or neutralizedestructive wave patterns. Unlike any otherdevice in use today, the QXCI/EPFX has abuilt-in mechanism that monitors the clientduring the session and ensures theindividuality of each test in the procedure. I am a Certified Biofeedback Therapist and

have been trained in all three levels. I canhelp people detect the imbalances that arehindrances to their health. Having beenthrough my own healing, I understand theimportance of balancing the body/mind inall aspects.

Another GreatTestimonial ~ The 21-Day Detox!The 21-day detox has been an answer

to 15 years of prayer. I was a veryhealthy and active child. At the age

of 14, I began getting chronic sinusinfections. There were no explanations ofthe cause and the only option I was given toget over these was antibiotics. Most of thetime, this only helped for a few days. So, two nasal surgeries later, I finallyfound some relief. However, I have neverbeen the same. I went from being a verystrong and gifted athlete to struggling justto make my bed every morning. My armsalone felt like they weighed 50 poundsapiece. I continued all of my activities tothe best of my ability, but each night as Icollapsed in my bed, I would cry myself tosleep out of complete exhaustion (andfrustration). I was diagnosed with mononucleosis atone point, but I knew it was more than that,especially after a year of getting worse ratherthan better. At that point they labeled it asEpstein-Barr and Chronic FatigueSyndrome. It was great to finally have aname to it; however, this was 1993 and theseillnesses were even less understood thanthey are today. Since 1993, I have battled the fatigueevery single day ~ some days worse thanothers. In 1999, I started experiencingextreme pain in my neck and upper back.My hands also began to ache and crampreally bad. By 2000, it was difficult for meto write, type, or grip anything. I rememberthe time that I went water skiing with mysister and brother-in-law, soon after I gotmarried, and I realized that there was no wayI could grip anymore. I remember crying asI was expecting my first baby, wonderinghow I was going to hold her for more than afew minutes at a time. I remember tryingnot to break down as I painfully typed the

last pages of my many college papers. God has provided the strength through itall, but He has now done much more thanthat. He has provided healing ~ throughlearning how to feed my body properly andleading me to The Whole Body HealingCenter that helped me rid my body of allthe toxins that I believe are responsible for15 years of sickness. Praise God!!! The 21-day detox was not easy (especiallydays 0-7; day 0 was the anxiety and emotionsof starting it all?), but it was an incredibleexperience, both physically and spiritually.It was incredible to see how much food hadcontrolled my life. By day 10, I was feeling better than I havefelt in 15 years. By day 21, I felt a hugedifference in strength and energy and thebrain fog and depression was lifted. The 12-pound weight loss was also a nice bonus I am seeing that my illness had more todo with me holding onto things that werekeeping me from being the whole andhealthy person that God created me to be.My big ones were perfectionism, self-blame,and food addiction. I praise God for Dr.Shawn and his team at The Whole BodyHealing Center for allowing God to use themin such a powerful way. I believe that Dr.Shawn and others like him are leading theway in helping our country realize that somuch of the disease and illness that we areexperiencing and seeing all around us isbeing caused by things we are putting in ourbodies and/or exposing our bodies to. After15 years of medical tests and no answers, Ibelieve I have FINALLY gotten to the rootof the problem! Thank You! My message for everyone still in the midstof their battle ~ there is hope!!! And I believeyou may have just found it!

University, Greifswald, Germany has beenspun various ways on the internet,depending on the skin-care manufacturer.The report concluded that the potent, as wellas nearly universal, antimicrobial activitybeing attributed to grapefruit seed extractis merely due to the synthetic preservativeagents contained within. Natural productswith antimicrobial activity do not appear tobe present. WellVet.com lists a number of studies (notjust the one above) concerning this issue,and concludes that, “It seems to us atWellVet.com that the entire effectiveness ofgrapefruit seed extract is due totally to thepresence of the preservatives, and thegrapefruit seed extracts have noantimicrobial effects on their own.”

Safe, Effective Preservatives Let’s face it. Skin care products needpreservatives. Most are kept in ourbathrooms where there are hordes ofunknown germs, lots of humidity and warmtemperatures. This is the perfectenvironment for growing… well, just aboutanything. Certain essential oils, like Tea Tree, andsome vitamins, can help reduce some formsof bacteria when used in highconcentrations. But, the concentrationsrequired for longterm preservation underless than ideal conditions put you at seriousrisk for skin irritation. We will continue to follow the research inthis area. But, in the meanwhile, parabensare highly effective and have been proventime and time again to be safe for mostpeople. Their benefits (including healthbenefits of preventing disease) far outweighany risks associated with their use. For a long list of testimonials as to howwell and safely our Skin Dynamics productswork, see the bodydynamics.com website.Even better ~ try them for yourself and enjoythe beautiful results!

The related issues of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease haveincreased dramatically in prevalence in this country in recentyears. This increase is no doubt due to the fact that gluten is

now found in almost all of our processed foods. Gluten is one ofthe primary proteins in many grains. It is a major component ofwheat (including duram, semolina, and spelt), rye, oats, barley, andrelated grain hybrids such as triticale and kamut.

Immune Response & Inflammation The bodies of people with gluten sensitivity and celiac diseaserespond to gluten as if it is an antigen (a foreign substance). Thismeans the immune system launches an attack against gluten whenit is absorbed by the intestine, causing the lining of the small intestineto swell. This causes damage to the lining of the small intestine,making the absorption of nutrients from food difficult, if notimpossible. This leads to a variety of gastro-intestinal conditionssuch as irritable bowel syndrome, weight loss (or gain), ulcers, andheartburn. Gluten can also migrate to other body systems, including thenervous system, and cause a multitude of other health disorders,including autoimmune diseases, headaches, arthritis, chronicfatigue, fibromyalgia, ADD, ADHD, as well as many other diseasesand symptoms.

Trinity Wellness Can Help At Trinity Wellness Center, we offer a variety of options forindicating gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. We offerElectrodermal screening, which is a non-invasive tool that utilizesacupuncture meridian points to screen for allergies and sensitivitiesas well as help indicate which nutritional supplements are best foreach patient and their specific needs. Another option is saliva test,which tests for the gluten antibody itself. We also offer comprehensive nutritional counseling programs.First and foremost, eliminating gluten from the diet for a period oftime is typically recommended, so dietary counseling andmonitoring is important. Also, in patients with these sensitivities,healing and repairing the lining of the gut is extremely important.We use a combination of homeopathic remedies and nutritionalsupplements that counteract the negative effects that gluten has onthe digestive tract and on the rest of the body. One main focus thatwe have when dealing with these patients is enabling their gut toonce more properly absorb the nutrients needed to fuel the body

and keep it healthy and strong. At Trinity Wellness Center, we firmly believe that any diseaseprocess can be halted or even reversed if you remove the burdensand give the body what it needs. This certainly includes the issuesof gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. We understand that many patients who suffer with these conditionshave been sick for a very long time and have been to numerousdoctors, often with no success. At Trinity Wellness Center, we arecommitted to supporting these patients, helping them overcomethese debilitating illnesses, and enabling them to live their lives tothe fullest.

BYOB’sIn-Home RO System

Recently there have been a number ofarticles in papers and reports on TVwhich basicaly take the possition that

there is no value to bottled water. This aloneis rather mind boggling and, when you addto it the fact that no one is countering suchmisinformation, it makes one think, “Whatam I missing?“ It is a sure bet that one can find somebottled water somewhere that is not betterthan a specific tap water that can be foundsomewhere. But that isn’t the impression thereporters are giving. The general impressionthese reports are giving is that most tap wateris better than most bottled water.

Municipal Warnings It makes one wonder if any of thesereporters have ever tasted or smelled tapwater. Just what have these fellas beendrinking? And haven’t any of these reportersever read the water reports put out by themunicipal water supply where they warn thepublic that, if they have medical problems,have infants or are elderly, they shouldconsult their doctor to be advised as todrinking the water. No, it‘s not being said that the municipalwater treatment is doing a bad job. There isonly so much worth doing to a water whichis then going to be put into a distributionsystem that is guaranteed to contaminate thewater. So, yes, there has to be a very strongdisinfection system to kill the microbes inthe distribution system and chlorine doesthat very well.

Chemical Soup But why would anyone want to drink thedisinfectant? These reporters totally missthis issue. They seem to ignore the reportsthat chlorine mixed with water containingorganic matter (from lakes or streams) canproduce suspected carcinogens, and the factthat most cities add ammonia so they canreduce the carcinogens by reducing the

The B.E.S.T.™ (Bio-Electric Stimulating Technique) unit works throughthe most basic and plentiful substance in your body: water! The humanbody is approximately 80% water and water is an excellent conductor ofelectricity. The body functions off of electromagnetic signals. The brainsends signals to each part of the body and back to the brain. When cellshave enough energy they are able to function properly. The Energy FootSpa charges the water, the water (which your feet soak in) charges yourbody, similar to a car battery that charges a car. Thus, the body absorbsvital energy on a cellular level, creating cell balance. The body receives the energy and starts detoxing on its own; this unitdoes not pull out the toxins as this would then also pull out things thatthe body wouldn’t normally release. The purpose is to help the bodywork the way it was intended. Thus, in just 35 minutes, the B.E.S.T.™unit may increase your overall sense of health and wellbeing. SeveralEnergy Spa users have even testified to a dramatic increase in the potencyand effectiveness of supplements when using the Spa! (This increasedenergy may last for several days.) It can be used as often as every otherday, but most people choose to have a treatment on a weekly or bi-weeklybasis.We do not directly dispense medical advice or prescribe the use of herbs orsupplements as a form of treatment for illness. The information provided in thisbrochure, and at Jeannette’s classes, is for educational purposes only. Pleaseconsult a licensed health professional should a need be indicated.
