Do you feel passionate about something?
Whether its your kids, your relationship, your career or a hobby
on which you like to spend all your spare time, feeling passionate
about something is a strong motivator for realizing success. The
man featured on our cover, Troy Reissmann, is passionate about
healthy lawn care. The Valley Organics owners mission is to save
the planet, one lawn at a time. It sounds like a lofty goal, but he
believes its possible. With equal parts perseverance and
perspiration, along with a lot of help from his wife and three
children, Reissmann truly believes that someday everyone will
realize that customized, organic lawn treatments are a better
alternative to traditional chemical-based services. Im passionate
about a few things right now, not the least of which is spring and
warmer weather. Weve endured a lot this winter and a change is
welcome. Im also pretty passionate about trying to live healthier.
For the past couple months, Ive been trying to eat more
consciously. That is, pay more attention to the nutritional value
of the food I eat, and watch my portion sizes. That ties in with my
other health goal, which is running a half marathon in May. I have
found that having an event on the calendar (and a paid
registration) are two big motivators in helping me to keep my eyes
on the prize, as it were. But do I expect an actual prize for
running 13.1 miles? No. My goal is to simply finish and enjoy the
experience with friends who will also be running. If I accomplish
that, Ill be happy.
With that, Id like to encourage you to find your passion. Then
cultivate it, nurture it and watch it grow. Youll be amazed by all
that you can accomplish. Peace,
Jen

High-pressure sales tactics no way to get a healthy lawnBy Troy
Reissmann id you ever see the movie, The Boiler Room? Its a great
movie about sales. It shows the everyday life of a high pressure
cold call salesman and the stresses he goes through on the job. It
reminds me a lot of my days at the big chemical lawn care company I
once worked for. Every day, from 11 in the morning to 9 oclock at
night, I would sit and call, and call and call! I cannot tell you
how much I hated that job. You see, for the most
D
part, the people I was calling were current customers of that
company, or those who used to have the service and had sense
enough to fire them. I would start the day calling the quitters
and offering them a deal to come back. If they came back,

Id get a commission. If not, they would go to another call
program to be pestered in about a month. If the customer said yes,
but to a smaller program, they would be called continuously after
each round to upgrade their program. They would also get called for
spring aerations, fall aerations with over-seeding, fall aerations
without over-seeding, winterizing, tree and shrub programs, grub
programs and finally insect control programs. If you do the math on
that, it can be as many as 13 separate calls to upgrade and thats
if you pick up the phone. Once your number is in their system, it
continually loops until you pick up the phone. I remember calling
the same person 20 times a day, six days a week! After a sale or up
sell was made, the call would go over to an auditor and he or she
would call you back to confirm the order! The sales manager was no
dummy. If the customer refused to pick up, he would ask you to call
them on your personal cell phone to trick them into answering.
Needless to say, it was awful. I couldnt wait until the
door-to-door sales started,
just to get away from that stale office. Im not a big fan of
pestering customers, or any people for that matter. I know how you
feel about cold calls, I feel the same way. The funny thing is, if
you sign up for the Do Not Call Registry, they can still bother
you. You have to tell them to take you off their list before they
legally have to comply. Now, lets say you fired them, and then got
on the Do Not Call Registry. You would think youre safe, right?
Wrong! Last year they started sending salesmen door to door,
specifically to those customers they can no longer reach legally by
phone! It seems like that would be illegal, but its not. Trust me,
I checked it out with the Department of Consumer Affairs. Its great
to have a nice looking lawn, but at what cost? The chemicals and
pesticides they use are dangerous, and something Ive talked about
at length. The high pressure sales gimmicks they use are horrible.
You deserve better. You can get that healthy, green lawn, without
dangerous chemicals. Youve just got to give me a call because Im
not going to call you. At least not like they do. Together we can
save the
planetone lawn at a time.Troy and Lisa Reissmann own Valley

The problem of hidden sugar in pet food
S
By Cheryl Larson ugar is NOT an essential nutrient for pets. Too
much of it can lead to serious health problems such as obesity,
tooth decay and diabetes. Obese and older animals are more likely
to develop diabetes, and all breeds are susceptible. Sugar and
high-carbohydrate diets are also linked to hyperactivity, kidney,
urinary and pancreatic problems, cataracts, arthritis, allergies
and Candida yeast (including yeast ear infections). Why would sugar
be added to the diet of
carnivores? Carnivores get all the sugar they need from the
small amount of vegetables in their natural diet. Sugar is added
because it is addictive! Your pet craves meat and vegetables, but
can become addicted to the

sugar in poor-quality diets and treats. Your pet gobbles up the
sugar quickly causing you to buy more. The addiction can make it
very difficult to switch your pet over to a highquality diet as
your pet may hold out for the sugar fix. Fortunately, that is a
temporary problem. Once your pet is hungry and tries the new food,
they will love the taste of real food again. Pet food companies
have been sneaking increasing amounts of sugar into food in recent
years. Poor quality rules the marketplace. Take a close look at the
ingredient lists in your grocery store or large chain pet store.
Species appropriate human-grade ingredients account for less than
10 percent of commercial pet diets. Treats sold by pet food giants
are even less nutritious. The troubling reality is that pet food
marketed for the masses is produced for profit. By creating an
addiction, the giants know that you will buy that brand over and
over again. The following is a list of ingredients to avoid when
purchasing your pets food: Cane molasses A by-product of the
manufacture of sucrose from sugar cane. Added to make pet food

Prepared from cornstarch, used in numerous food products as a
sweetener. Unnecessary in pet foods. Fructose A very sweet sugar.
Used as a preservative. Sorbitol Used as a flavoring agent, sugar
substitute and a moisturizer in cosmetics. Sugar May include
sucrose, cane sugar, caramel, corn syrup and others. Sugar is also
naturally present in starches and grains. These carbohydrates
differ significantly in levels of natural sugar. Dry pet food
contains either grain or starch, not
because of the nutritional level, but because it makes the
kibble stick together. Grainfree diets offer an array of options
for this purpose. Remember, you are looking for

Is your child eating enough?
W
ith childhood obesity epidemics on the rise, many parents and
healthcare providers are concerned about the dietary habits of
children. However, many parents to toddlers or even school-aged
children may wonder if their children are eating enough. Children
often go through periods of finicky eating or disinterest in food.
It is not uncommon to have a child who eats a wide variety of foods
when he is younger only to dislike the same foods a year or two
later. Most doctors say that if a child is growing and active,
chances are that he is healthy and getting enough food. If the
opposite is true, there may be some cause for concern. Parents
should consult the childs pediatrician if eating habits seem to be
compromising their childs growth or energy levels. There are
estimates that a young child should eat about a tablespoon of food
for each year of the childs age. Therefore, a 3-yearold should be
getting at least 3 tablespoons of food. If the child is

interested in more food, certainly offer it. If he pushes food
away after eating, dont force more on him. Most children should
have 3 meals and 2 snacks per day. Toddlers may not eat enough in
one meal to remain full until the next meal. Small, healthy snacks
of vegetables, whole-grain crackers or low-fat dairy products can
help take the edge off of hunger. Health experts say that it can

eating.food before the child becomes accustomed to its taste and
texture. It may be a good idea to offer a variety of new foods
together with something he already enjoys eating. Its also common
for kids to only eat one type of food over and over again. Dont
worry that the child is not getting enough nutrition. Chances are
he will grow out of this stage and soon enjoy a variety of foods.
Threats or punishments to eat will only serve to cause a poor
relationship with food, advise childhood experts. Also, dont bribe
a child to eat with the reward of a snack or dessert later on. This
sets a poor example of eating and could lead to behavioral
problems. Many children develop finicky eating habits. However, as
long as a youngster is growing regularly and has plenty of energy
for daily activities, theres a good chance that the foods being
eaten are not interfering with health.SOURCE: Metro Creative

Need healing? Ask the angelsBy Nancy Freier Ive been writing
this column for a few years now and I have not talked much about
intuition or the subject of talking with angels, although this is
central to my work as an intuitive. I awakened to this phenomena in
1986 following the sudden death of my fianc. I was in a tailspin
and in the grip of grief, as you might imagine, but also during
this very dark time there was a very bright light peeking through.
Walking to my car after receiving the news of his death that night,
I heard a voice an inner voice that said, This is not the end, its
just the beginning. The words were very comforting, but I didnt
know they were from an angel who later told me they had to bend
near the Earth to save me, because I was so sad. Back to the
tailspin. Up to that point in my life I had never thought much
about angels. I was raised in a strict religion that believed in a
vengeful God. My life had spun so out of control, I had little
faith there was a God, or angels, that could be loving and on my
side. So, whose voice was it inside my head calming me, compelling
me? The night my friend died I pleaded to get through the ordeal
alive, and if I did, I promised I would help others heal and move
through grief. My life changed in that instant. I read every book I
could find on death, dying and life after death. I began attending
A Course In Miracles discussion group because I needed a miracle. I
was driven to learn how to talk with the angels through a technique
called automatic handwriting. After some diligent practice, I
perfected it and later taught hundreds of people how to talk with
their angels. Listening to this inner voice of guidance was like
having a roadmap to life, so this month Im featuring a couple of
questions I asked the angels, along with their answers. I was
curious what role the angels play in our wellness regimen, and they
replied, We say to you that healing, being of a higher vibration
than that of disease, and that we emanate from a higher level of
being, we naturally instill healing into whatever

Nancy Freier,
touch or direct our energy toward. This higher vibration, and
the speed at which it radiates into the world of form must heal by
the virtue of it being higher in vibration. Our light/love/energy
will always raise a lower vibration to a higher level. This is what
you call healing. Light is a higher vibration than dark, so when
you flip the light on in a dark room, the light floods the room and
the darkness disappears. We say that illness is like darkness. The
act of extending healing from one being to another through your
thoughts, prayers, and hands-on healing/energy techniques, is an
act of love, of sharing light, and giving healing. We are this
higher vibration that is intricately interwoven with
loving, healing intention that fires-up dark places. We are
love-in-action. We are called healers because that is the result of
our intention and touch. I asked, Where are the angels when a
person does not get well? and they said, We say to you, do not
judge what occurs in the physical, for you cannot see the entire
panorama from the tiny portal from which you look. Sometimes a
person may not heal because his life on Earth is concluded, his
mission accomplished, as it were. We say to you, always remember
there are no accidents and nothing happens outside of Divine Order.
The Earth plane is like a schoolhouse set up by your Higher Self
for you to open your heart to experience a wide array of feelings
and emotions. And, you are not without personal power
The word angel comes from the Greek word angelos which means
messenger. i use the term angel to identify the source of the inner
voice of wisdom and guidance i intuitively receive. i do not intend
to alienate anyone whose terminology may differ from my own. Please
substitute your own word for this remarkable inner wisdom available
to everyone but perhaps known by different names, or perhaps none
at all.
on this plane. Your words have power. Ask for healing and it is
given to you, however, it may come in a way you dont expect, but
always comes as a part of a greater plan. Remain open to travel the
road where it leads you. Be mindful that your guardian angels never
leave their posts, as it were, and they keep an eye on you and on
Divine Will for you. We see the path you walk and we guide you in
making wise choices along the way. We never take control but may
nudge you to change the course youre on to divert unnecessary
disaster. Be open and listen! It is our wish to alleviate the pain
humanity feels it must endure for lack of another alternative.

with joy. Hear us knocking on your door and know that we stand by
ready to serve. Simply be willing, reach to us, and we are

The first major breakthrough in omega-3 science in 40 yearsBy
Terry Lemerond Do you take fish oil? If reading this means youre
interested in natural health, chances are you do. But why do you
take the fish oil? I doubt that you take it so you can consume more
fat from fish. You take the oil, whether it is a gulp from a bottle
or a handful of capsules, to get the omega-3 fatty acids (like EPA
and DHA) into your body. For decades, the only choice we had was to
either eat fatty fish or take fish oil, with varying levels of
ability to digest and absorb these unique nutrients. What if you
could take all-natural whole food omega-3 fatty acids from salmon
without the oil? I have learned about a new, patented way to
extract the omega 3 fatty acids from salmon without disturbing
their delicate structure. This process yields the first new news in
omega-3 fatty acid science in decades a highly absorbable EPA and
DHA extract with 50 times the absorption of fish oils! acids DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) creates a
supplement that is much closer to nature and how people were meant
to absorb and use these nutrients. Because of this process, omega-3
fatty acids are retained on their natural sn-2 position, and are
carried by phospholipids making them absolutely identical to the
omega-3 fatty acids in the human brain. This perfect match allows
the body to absorb and use the fatty acids much more efficiently.
This is the way youd get your omega-3s by eating fish in the
natural sn-2 position, not the sn-1 position into which they are
twisted when extracted in fish oil. Researchers have found that the
omega-3s naturally bound to these whole salmon phospholipids are up
to 50 times better absorbed than fish oil. Normally, you have to
get people to take a lot of fish oil just to see a benefit anywhere
from 4 to 6 grams for results, and people have trouble adhering to
a program of 10 to 12 (or more!) capsules a day. But with this new
process, the recommended daily dose for healthy people is one
tablet. It delivers bioidentical EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids
for absorption that is far superior to fish oil, krill oil or squid
oil.
European science
Its fairly well-known that most people dont get the omega-3s
they need from their diets. To make up the difference, a lot of
people try to get their omega-3s through fish oil. The benefits of
omega-3s for heart disease, cancer, depression, inflammation,
arthritis pain, and more make fish oil seem like a natural choice.
But it isnt. While fish oil has been recommended for generations,
it really isnt that natural. By the time the oil is bottled, it has
been processed (you could say over-processed) so much that it bears
little resemblance to the omega-3 fatty acids you would get from
eating fish. This is something that has bothered me for some time,
but luckily, theres a better way to get omega-3s in supplement
form. Not long ago I discovered a better, safer, and more
bioavailable source of omega-3 fatty acids. This supplement uses a
new European breakthrough in omega-3 science that creates many
advantages over the oil-form of omega-3s. This new process is the
closest thing you can get to eating salmon (without eating salmon).

Processing changes the natural structure
Bioidentical omega-3 fatty acids
Most fish oils are extracted from small, cold water fish,
including: sardines, anchovies, herring, and other mixed fish. Then
the fish undergo a lot of processing. The cooling and pressing
steps, for example, bring the raw material close to boiling and
coagulate the naturally-occurring proteins in the fish. This
creates its own problems, as it requires large quantities of
solvents (hexane and methanol to name two of them), and the need to
reprocess the toxic waste that this method generates. But this heat
method also changes the position of the fatty acids as well. Rather
than being where nature intended them, on the sn-2 position on the
carrier chain, the damaging heat-and-solvent method displaces the
fatty acids to the sn-1 and sn-3 positions.1, 2 This might not
sound like much, but if you think about it, small changes can be
enormously important. These structural changes mean that the EPA
and DHA are no longer bioidentical to those in the human body.
Because the EPA and DHA in fish oils are carried by

triglycerides, rather than phospholipids, people need very large
doses of fish oil to get good results usually several grams.
Unfortunately, the problem with that approach is that fish oil
doesnt sit well in many peoples stomachs. They experience gastric
discomfort, bad aftertaste, and fish burps. Until recently, thats
what everyone has had to deal with because thats the nature of fish
oil supplements. The good news is that the oils delivered omega-3s
that your body greatly needs; the bad news is that it takes a huge
amount of oil to do it, and oils are very unstable and often quite
rancid. Initially, absorption of phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty
acids from salmon was documented in a scientific report from the
University of Nancy in France, which also incorporated data from an
earlier 2004 study.3,4 The absorption levels of omega-3 fatty acids
in fish oil were compared to omega-3 fatty acids using this
specialized process. The study used the gold standard, validated
test of gastrointestinal absorption, called a CACO-2 study. What
the researchers found was that these phospholipid-bound essential
fatty acids were absorbed 5 times (or 500 percent) more than the
omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil. This five-fold increase in
absorption is in itself quite respectable. Researchers then looked
at the incorporation of these essential fatty acids in the calls
and found a remarkable difference between fish oil and this
specialized omega-3 bound to phospholipids (fish oil =
