Stress has been getting a lot o atten-tion lately. Unless youve been clois-tered in a Himalayan monastery,

youre undoubtedly aware o the perpetualdrama o global aairs. Its not unusual orpeople to eel so overwhelmed that retreat-ing rom the world seems like the only

viable alternative. Oh, or some heavenly

silence away rom theconstant cacophony orantic cell phone chatter,Muzak, trac and V.

Stress is not a recentphenomenon; our bodieswere engineered todeal with it. We have specialized organs, hormones and an entire nervous sy

specifcally designed or stress. When

brain spikes up on imminent danger or imagined it starts a chain o comnication rom the hypothalamus topituitary to the adrenal glands and symthetic nervous system, which preparebody or a stress response.

Commonly reerred to as fghight, this is the alarm phase. Epinrine and norepinephrine kick up blood pressure, inusing your periphmuscles and lungs with the energy to(or kick or punch). Your heart rate aerates. Your brain is as alert as a bocollie in a pasture ull o sheep. Correleased by the adrenal glands stimuthe release o stored body at andbreakdown o protein to be convertedglucose or cellular energy. Basically,eel like Rambo.

stressor persists and your body shis intothe resistance phase. Cells that are damagedduring the alarm phase get repaired andrebuilt but, i the stressor persists, thebody becomes exhausted and cannot keepup with all the mending that needs to bedone. Tis is the most damaging phaseor your health. Elevated blood pressure,triglycerides and glucose levels can resultin vascular damage, which in turn caninjure organ systems, leading to metabolicdisorders and chronic diseases. You alsobecome more susceptible to acute illnessessuch as colds and u due to diminishedimmune unction. Universal consensusamong stress researchers is that chronic,long-term exposure to stress, coupled withmaladaptive coping strategies, is harmul

able and probably dependent on numer-

ous actors such our sex, genes andneurological wiring. While some olkscringe in terror and ee rom the tiniestconict, other, sel-described adrenaline

junkies seem to thrive on stress. Corti-sol can activate the pleasure pathway byinducing the secretion o dopamine in thebrain. Addictive substances also initiatethe soothing eect o dopamine release,which is why addictions oen arise as acoping mechanism.

So what can you do to help yoursel cope?Remember that the body has an amazingcapacity to heal, and there are many waysto deal with stress that dont compromiseyour physical and mental wellbeing. Build-ing a strong support network, medita-tion, biking, yoga, breathing exercises and

s your pet healthy? Tere is much more to a healthy pet than

just getting a good health exam at the veterinarians oce.While their physical health is o vital importance, so is their

mental, nutritional and grooming health! An all encompassing,holistic view to pet health allows us to break down the idea ohealth into our main categories. Each category is interwoven withall the others. Changes in unctionality in any given category willultimately lead to changes in the others.

Nutrition fuel for lifePet nutrition directly aects all acets o health in our urry lovedones! Tink o your pets digestive tract as the engine in a car. Just

like that engine, it needs the right gasoline and oil to run. And justlike an engine, it converts what is put in it into energy. Putting thewrong uel or oil in the car may still allow it run right now, butits likely to cause issues down the road; making the engine workharder and break down more easily. Te right uel allows the carto run at its peak, whereas the wrong uel allows it to run, but onlyadequately. It is the very same idea when it comes to what you eedyour pet. Feeding the right ood to your pet can reduce unnec-essary stresses on their internal organs, increase longevity andimprove general health, just to name a ew benefts. More specif-cally, eeding your pet a biologically appropriate and nutritionallydense ood will aid in the maintenance o appropriate weight andcoat, and the ability to ward o illness.

xercise t for lifeWe always hear about how we as humans should exercise more,but does your pet get enough exercise? Te thought o exercis-ing my pet always brings to mind the Youube videos one seeso a dog running on a treadmill. While that is one way o ensur-ing that your pooch will get a good workout, this not necessarilywhat exercise has to mean or you and your pet. A session o tug,etch or even chase me please is a great way to spend time with

your pooch while getting them some much needed exercise. pet is unique and it is up to you to fnd what un activities like. Another great exercise opportunity that also provides mentally well-rounded pooch is doggie daycare! Te time splaying appropriately with other dogs is a antastic way to your dog mentally stimulated and ft.

Grooming clean for lifeKeeping your pet well groomed is extremely important or health. Many health issues can stem rom improper groomand/or lack o grooming. Tis means taking care o your teeth, skin, paws/nails, hair and sanitary areas. All pets need oral hygiene in order to maintain the health o their digestive tBad oral health can lead to gingivitis, tooth decay, tooth losstartar build up; all o which can hide dangerous bacteria on dogs teeth that can cause inections and digestive issues. Macoats, overgrown toenails, blocked sanitary areas and dry skin

just a ew issues that can be a result o poor grooming habits; o which are not only painul or your pet, but can also lea

other health complications when le unchecked. Proper groom-ing and cleanliness allows our pets to be ree: ree o pain and reeto be their unique selves.

Mental health sharp for lifeYes, even pets deal with mental health issues. Many pets in needo help in this area suer rom anxiety or aggression issues, or are

just badly mannered. While there is no easy resolution to mentalirregularities or illness in our pets, there are many things we can

do to help them. raining is always benefcial; no matter what age.Set your pet up or success; put them in situations you know theywill be able to handle and eel sae in. Dont be araid to guideothers in how they can interact with your pet as their behaviordirectly aects their behavior. As stated earlier, doggie daycare canbe a great alternative or your pet. I have personally seen doggiedaycare help with anxiety, aggression and manners. Health in allthe other aspects (nutrition, exercise and grooming) will mostdefnitely aid in providing or a healthier pet mentally.

Having a well-rounded pooch will take some eort, but the beneftsin physical health, longevity and even being able to take your poochplaces you never thought they could behave is hugely rewarding!

Time transorms. We can no moreescape it than the changing leaves. Wecan, however, choose to collaborate.

I dreamed once that I was on an islandwhere everyone was somehow maimed.Head bandages, wheelchairs, stumps wherearms had been . People said this was thework o the green haze, and there was noescape. Tey gave odd advice or its nextcoming. Tey said to run towards it.

In time I realized that the green hazemeant not death but Lie that Somethingthats more than working physiology. Te

lost legs and arms what i they meant wayso unctioning that we onlythink we need?

A very long time ago, like a whole monthor two, I reused to trust anyone. Great withsolo projects, on teams I was prickly as acactus on wheels barging in, monitoringand second-guessing everyone. In my owneyes, I was eective; the problem was withothers and what more could I do aboutthem? Was it my ault that people (not you,o course) are incompetent, unmotivatedand unreliable?

I might still be unconsciously clinging tothese cruelly unair judgments like legs that

have carried me a long way and I needtheselegs, except that I wanted to co-acilitate acertain workshop. Not just wanted: eltcalled and had been training or years, andnow it was just around the corner. And itwasnt going to work unless I trusted andincluded the other acilitator.

For the frst time, I realized how littlerespect Ive had or the ulfllment andempowerment o those I work with, or ourrelationships, and or what we can createtogether by relying on one another. Teselegs I thought I needed need to go!

Qustion: A riend o mine eats fve to six smaller meals eachday and keeps telling me that I should be doing the same. Arethere actually any benefts to doing this, especially i three mealsper day are satisying?Answr: Experts have been telling us to eat more requentlythroughout the day or years now. And the prevailing wisdomsays that increasing your meal requency will increase yourmetabolism and help with weight loss. Te theories behind theseperceived benefts are sound, but unortunately, much o theresearch conicts with these statements. In act, numerous studies

indicate that increasing the number o meals consumed per dayhas very little impact on overall ood intake and body composi-tion. Tis makes sense since increased requency doesnt seem tostrongly aect total daily energy expenditure or resting metabolicrate either. Tere may be some beneft when it comes to appe-tite control and satiety, but the jury is still out on this too. I yourenergy level waxes and wanes throughout the day, then eatingmore requently may be advantageous. But i youre satisfed eatingthree squares a day, then by all means continue to do so.

Qustion: I would do almost anything to get a nice six-pack.Can you give me some tips and hints?Answr: Absolutely! Not everyone has this particular goal, butthe ones who do seem to be very passionate about it. First o all,you have to do some serious core work, ocusing on the abdomi-nals, obliques and low back area. In doing this, most people makeone o two mistakes. Te frst mistake is working these musclestoo many days o the week. Some think you need to do abs almostevery day, but you wouldnt do this or chest, back and legs, so whywould you do it or your abdominals? Te other common problemis that people dont push themselves when doing core work. Iveseen plenty o people stop their set right when they start to eel the

burn. Others may only use their bodyweight, never thinkingweights might actually challenge them even more. Rememberharder you work your abdominals, the less youll have to do t and youll get better results. Aside rom strength trainingother key components to getting a frm, lean mid-section inccardiovascular exercise and, o course, proper diet. You shtry to do cardio fve to six days per week, especially i you some extra ab to lose, and try to ollow a well-balanced, calcontrolled diet. I you have more specifc questions, be surschedule a meeting with a trainer at your local Anytime Fitne

Qustion: My doctor told me that eating aer 7 p.m. can leaweight gain. Is this really true?Answr: I was wondering when this question would comeTis is actually a very common myth that has been perpetuby consumers and proessionals alike or a very long time. be told, there is no strong connection between eating at nightweight gain. Obviously, i your calorie intake exceeds your caexpenditure, then you will certainly gain weight, but this is trumatter when those calories are consumed. So could the caltaken in at night contribute to weight gain? Sure. But it still codown to a calories in vs. calories out issue. Te idea o avoicalories at night stems rom the act that most o us are pinactive in the evening hours, and i were not active, then fup our gas tanks seems counter-productive. Tis is understable, and I do think that too many people consume ar too mcalories during the evening hours. However, should you be ov

concerned with weight gain i you had to miss a during the day or had to eat sporadically becausebusy schedule? Tat answer is no!

and hormone production. Tere is much you can do, however,to maintain a healthy and strong body despite the eorts oMother Nature to weaken you as you age. We will frst look atmuscle health.

Muscle strength in men and in women, under normal condi-tions, reaches its peak between 20 and 30 years o age, plateausor about two decades (in the absence o injury or disease), and

then muscle perormance begins to deteriorate at the rate oabout 5% per decade. Without a regular and eective strengthtraining routine, a loss o muscle mass will also set in as yourbody ages. Last months article on unctional strength trainingprovides some tips on strength training exercise. Bottom line pick up some weights, do some pushups, and do them twoto three times per week to maintain all that muscle that willhelp you remain active and mobile through all the stages oyour lie. Even i regular strength training has not been a parto your routine, it is never too late to begin. Numerous exercisestudies have shown that older muscles have the capacity to gainstrength and muscle size in response to properly designed andimplemented strength training programs.

Bone health is another area in which strength training is ogreat value. While bone health is aected by many actors (hered-ity, diet, gender, etc.), strength training is a key component tobuilding and maintaining bone mass crucial especially orwomen, who are more prone to developing osteoporosis and itsprecursor, osteopenia. By perorming exercises that require yourbody to adapt to increasing loads, bone and muscle mass increasein response. Functional, weight-bearing, strength training exer-cises (yes, squats and pushups!) perormed on a regular basis cango a long way in maintaining the health o your bones as you age,and its never too early to start!

Te fnal area o discussion is hormone production. As we

age, our bodies produce less and less o all the dierent types ohormones that are a natural part o the human physiology. Tisreduced hormone production has a direct impact on the loss omuscle and bone mass as we age.

So how much strength training should you be doing? Aminimum o two 45-minute sessions per week that ocus ontotal-body strengthening are appropriate to begin with. As yourbody adapts and becomes stronger in response to your exerciseroutine, you may increase the requency, intensity and durationo your strength training sessions. As a general rule o thumb,allow 48 hours o rest in between sessions or a muscle group (iyou just worked your legs on Tursday, wait until at least Satur-day to work them again) and use common sense and dont pushyoursel beyond what you know you can saely do.

Now, go do some squats!

lients, and just about everyone I meet, who learn that a nutritionist ask me one question all the time: How cboost my metabolism?

Metabolism is simply the total o all body processes that calories your basal metabolic rate plus your activity aWhen it comes to improving your metabolism, theres good and bad news.

metabolism withdiet and nutrition......................................................................................y Tony ednarowsi

irst the bad news:Most o what controls your metabolism isnt completely uyour control. Some people are genetically blessed with a hburning metabolism. Tey didnt ask or it, they were just bwith it. On average, men have a metabolism that is 10 t

percent higher than women, mainly because o their largerand greater muscle mass. Whether youre a man or a woman, metabolism naturally decreases with age. Scientists have mated that the average persons metabolism slows about 5 perper decade, beginning at age 40, as we lose muscle mass our bat increases.

Now the good news:Your metabolism doesnt have to remain stagnant or take a ndive. You can burn more calories and lose more weight juschanging the way you think about eating and moving.

OO S O MTAOSM

Remember, our basal metabolic rate includes the energy we neebody processes, including digestion. About 10 percent o our calare used to process the ood we eat. As the calories are burnedbodies generate heat. Tis phenomenon, known as the thermic eo ood, is inuenced by how much, how oen, and what we eaaddition, ood can directly aect metabolism by altering the wabody unctions, which changes the amount o energy it needs.

anxious to try dierent types o oods. As they get older, thenumber o oods theyre apt to eat diminishes, which can makechoosing healthy items or lunches and dinners more dicult. Italso can make packing lunches or school more challenging.

Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality o

school lunches provided by school caeterias. Government regu-lations to reduce the amount o at and sodium in these lunches,and to introduce more whole grains, ruits and vegetables, are onesuch initiative. Parents o students who preer to bring their ownlunches rom home may be le wondering how they can createhealthy lunches their kids will eat.

Considering school lunches must compete with ar less healthy yetwidely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in theircreation o homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started.

PUCAS A N UNC CONTAN. Tere are manydierent new and innovative lunch containers that can makeseparating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into abrown paper sack and pull out something that has been sosquashed its unrecognizable. Partitioned lunch boxes enableyou to pack dierent items together where they can be storedseparately. Te divisions also help you remember to includeoods rom the basic ood groups, such as a ruit, vegetable,protein, starch and dairy item.

A OU C MA A ST O S O

AOT OOS. Once the list has been made, see how youcan make the oods healthier. For example, i chicken nuggetsmake the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat

chunks that are baked, not ried. I there are a number o bitems, see i you can substitute whole grain breads insteawhite, bleached varieties.

GT CAT. Children may not be inclined to eat lpieces o ruit. But i the ruit is stuck on skewers or serveda low-at dipping sauce or caramel, it may look more apping. Look to mini oods, which tend to be more un as Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical

sion, where kids think theyre eating only a small amountactually its a ull serving.

AT OOS TN OTS. Tereentire recipe books that teach you how to mix ruits and vtables into desserts to increase nutritive value. Everything spinach to tou to beets has been included in items like cookies and brownies. So i kids are reticent to dig into greens, try a clever hiding method.

CUT OOS NTO UN SAPS. Kids may be minclined to eat a turkey and cheese sandwich i its cut star shapes or their avorite cartoon characters. Invest in acookie cutters so that lunchtime becomes un time.

ONT T T TM O A CTAT AT

S. As long as kids are eating healthy items, it domatter when they eat them. I a child loves bagels, chwhole wheat bagels and add an egg on top or a nutritlunch. Serve with a gelatin dessert that contains chunks o and low-at milk, and youre set.

Tere are many dierent ways to improve homemade lunchethe better.

Dear Tina,

Dear Healer for Others,

You nailed the issue in the title you chose. You are a healer anatural, innate healer. Unortunately this miraculous gi seemslike it has taken over your body, your mind and your true purpose.It appears that you are naturally taking on other peoples issues(productive and unproductive issues) and holding that energyin your body. Tis allows the other person to eel an immediaterelease something they probably were not able to accomplishon their own. It also creates a dependence on you. Most likely, theyhave no idea what is happening when they are in your presence;only that they eel better aer seeing you. Meanwhile, you are lewith energy that does not ft in your system, with your body orwith your purpose. Tis is exhausting to say the least.

You also mentioned that you eel like youre doing somethingwrong i you say no. Tis is also a common symptom o an unbal-anced and unboundaried healing gi. When you say no, you likelycan eel the response o the other person. Tey may eel rejectedor abandoned. You can eel that and it can create guilt. Te truthis that it is not your responsibility to fx other people. You can do

it naturally, but in order or it to be eective you must take cayoursel frst. You are no good to others i your system is a me

with little or no interaction. With gas you should insist upona unit that can operate indefnitely in a power outage. Manygas freplaces are designed to be sold, not necessarily used; be

very careul when picking a gas freplace. Personally I fnd itunacceptable to have a gas freplace that shuts o i you have a

Tese are things to ponder as the season approaches. All toosoon the summer breezes will become all winds and the freswill be alive indoors again.

care with anSacred Rhythms Wellness Centera refuge from pain, stressand unbalance

E

xpertBy Jackie Peters

Services available fromthe experts at Sacred Rhythms include:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an eective natural healing

system that has been developed and refned by clinicians andtheoreticians or over two thousand years. The beauty o TCM

and its success is in really getting to know patients in order to

gain an understanding o the patterns o disharmony that are

creating ill-health. Clients at Sacred Rhythms have beneftted

rom acupuncture and Chinese nutrition or a number o issues:

pain (acute or chronic), including degenerative conditions, injury,

nerve involvement and stress-induced conditions; headaches

and migraines; womens health issues; digestive complaints; and

smoking cessation and addictions. The three masterul acupunc-

turists at Sacred Rhythms are also massage therapists, so clients

are also able to enjoy medical massage during their appointment.

Sacred Rhythms incorporates the best o both Eastern and

Western medicine into their practice. Clients experience a very

individualized and thorough process that includes traditional

lab work, Chinese assessment and diagnosis, education about

eating with the seasons and or their own constitution, and an

integration plan that incorporates ood, supplements and herbs

that are best or each clients own biological and energetic iden-

tity. Tasha reminds us, Your health is a direct result o what you

put in your mouth.

A lot can happen in two and a hal years. During that time, Tasha

Bynum, LMT, has truly ourished proessionally. With her eyes

always on her goal to create a sacred space or people to get

on the path to being healthy Tasha has thoughtully grown

her practice, Sacred Rhythms Wellness Center, rom one to

twelve proessionals. And, these healthcare providers really

pack a punch: each is dual certifed or licensed in their areas o

expertise with a minimum o our and up to 15 years o hands-on experience.

These careully chosen practitioners share in her mission and are

a clear example o one o Tashas most treasured virtues: integ-

rity. We pride ourselves on integrity in this practice. Our clients

always come frst, so we ocus on doing the right thing; living by

our highest values; being honest and sincere, explains Tasha.

Another important business decision she and the health provid-

ers made was to keep all services moderately priced in order to

be more accessible or everyone in the community. Our well-

ness program puts hundreds o dollars o savings back in our

clients pockets without compromising the quality care and indi-

vidualized attention we give, says Tasha.

She credits some o her business know-how and acumen to Dr.

Xiping Zhou, ounder and president o East-West Healing Arts

Institute. Beore graduating seven years ago rom the school,

which has a holistic ocus, Tasha was able to job shadow with

him and see frsthand how truly eective Eastern medicine is

and how to really listen to clients. The reason I practice, the

main ocus or all o us, really, is to help people eel better and

to educate them about Eastern alternatives, healthy options and

overall well-being, afrms Tasha.

The specialized massage therapists at Sacred Rhythms are careul to

tailor each session to their clients individual needs. Whether its Deep

Tissue, Neuromuscular, Myoascial, Prenatal, Oncology, TuiNa, Acupres-

sure, Sports or Swedish Relaxation, they have the appropriate technique

or each clients situation. Tasha describes the work o her massage

proessionals as highly therapeutic, and shes quick to express her

pride in their skilled hands and compassionate hearts.

The practitioners who are also Reiki Masters are able to acilitate energy

balancing and increased awareness o how emotional and mental

patterns can contribute to or create disharmony. A critical component

o true healing comes rom addressing those spiritual aspects o any

imbalance. These highly skilled proessionals are especially valuable to

clients who experience a lot o pain and cant handle massage, and

many fnd it just as, i not more relaxing.

Not only does Sacred Rhythms

have talented, licensed aestheti-

cians to serve you, but also its own

unique product line, Sacred Skin, which

has been very well-researched and docu-

mented to produce results. The house

line is made rom 80% or more organic

ingredients, including naturally occurringvitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, herbs

and essential oils. Its satisying to clients

who appreciate the reshly blended prod-

ucts used on them. Tasha points out,

These products are enhanced with

skin-repairing and nourishing ingredi-

ents like MSM, DMAE, vitamin A and C,

antioxidants and essential atty acids. The

popular Organic Custom, Sensitive Skin and Anti-Aging

Facials all incorporate this fne, natural product line.

o you believe the reason that you just cant lose weightis because you lack willpower? Actually, lack o will-power may not your problem at all. Being motivated to get

healthy, having the right tools and having the great support o ahealth coach are all you need. And, I can help you with those things!

Te cause o your weight gain and ailed attempts to lose ithas nothing to do with your character. It is how your body isprogrammed to survive in case you encounter times with littleood. You just need to eat the proper ood and have a health coachlike me to educate and motivate you along the way.

What Ive learned by reading Dr. Wayne Scott Andersons, TeHabits o Health, is that our modern body is built the same as that oour 10,000 year-old ancestors. Back then, people ate when they hadthe opportunity. Food was sparse and there werent good methods oood storage, so when they ound something to eat, they would eatall they could. I they had a plentiul couple o weeks, their bodieswould gain a at reserve or the lean times that were surely ahead othem. Our bodies still hold onto the at reserve because they are stilldesigned to be prepared or times o limited ood.

Since our ancestors lives were labor intensive, they burnedmore calories than we do now. Tey were always on the move,whether it was etching water or walking around in search o ood.Now, hunting or our next meal just means opening the ridge ordriving up to the drive-up window, so we burn considerably ewercalories. Because o this, we have to make a conscious eort to getout and exercise and eat right.

I we watch what we eat and exercise, but dont burn more calo-ries than we eat, or we eat the wrong kinds o ood, we will hangon to our at reserve. We live o the calories that we take in beoreeeding on our at reserve. When we diet and restrict calorieswe may lose weight only to go back to our old ways and quicklyregain the weight. Many times we pack on even more at. We must

change our liestyle to keep rom regaining our weight. Our boare perect at-storage machines.

was in a car accident over fve years ago, which le me withdaily headaches and, at times, severe neck pain. I went tomy doctor, who started me out on medications. Tey helped

somewhat, but the pain and headaches just wouldnt go away,and it was starting to interere with my job as a transcriptionist.Eventually my doctor reerred me to a physical therapist. Tatwas a godsend! My therapist was able to pin point some thingsthat needed work and gave me some exercises to do at home that

helped keep the pain away.Tis treatment worked or me until I went back to work ull-

time, aer my children started school. Working brought backthe neck pain and headaches as i they had never le. I triedtherapy again, and that helped decrease my headaches to once aweek instead o almost daily, as well as my neck pain, but we justcouldnt get it to go away completely.

Tat was until my therapist introduced me to ension ReExercises (RE). RE is a set o six simple exercises, which, practicing with my therapist, I was able to do on my owntherapist explained to me that the exercises atigue certainmuscles in my body to evoke a shaking response. Tis shareleases tension and stress it wasnt possible to get at with contional therapy or with medications. What this has done ois just short o miraculous. I no longer have headaches, an

long as I do these exercises on a regular basis, I no longer neck pain. Te interesting side eects o these exercises areI seem to get less worked up about things; I seem calmer at wand at home.

I looked it up online. (Te Web site is traumaprevention.com iyoure interested.) Tere were testimonials on the Web site rompeople who used RE personally or rom practitioners whoused it with their clients. Tese testimonials were rom over tendierent countries, so I knew RE had been around or a while,even though I had never heard o it beore.

Its unny, just recently our amily adopted a puppy romthe humane society. Eventually we had the puppy fxed so shewouldnt have puppies o her own. Aer we brought the dog

home rom surgery, I was lying next to her, trying to comorther aer the procedure, and I noticed that the dog was doingthis small shaking thing all over her body. I think she wasdoing her own tension releasing naturally. Animals are likelittle children; they dont think much about things, they just dothem, like shaking when they have been upset by something.It just comes naturally to them. As adults, we learn to suppressthings like that because it looks unny or we have to pretendthings dont aect us, even i they do. And when things get badenough, like aer my accident, sometimes we cant pretend anylonger. Tank goodness or things like RE.

Mold can grow in many areas oa home. Tough not alwaysdangerous, mold can, in certain

instances, cause serious illness.Experts estimate that there are tens o

thousands o dierent types o mold in theworld. A type o ungi, molds are single-celled or multicellular organisms withoutchlorophyll that reproduce by spores andlive by absorbing nutrients rom organicmatter. Fungi can be classifed as molds,mushrooms, rusts, mildews and yeasts.Some o the common types o molds oundindoors include cladosporium, alternaria,penicillium and aspergillus.

Te Centers or Disease Control and

Prevention states that molds can be a healthhazard to some people. Some individualsare more sensitive to molds than others,and may experience anything rom a mildallergic reaction to severe symptoms, suchas trouble breathing or other complicationswith their lungs.

Mold spores travel very easily throughthe air and can also travel on people andpets. Coming in contact with mold in onelocation and then traveling to anothercan cause spores that hitched a ride todislodge in the new area. People who mayhave never had mold problems at homebeore can fnd that mold quickly takesroot i mold spores have been accidentallybrought into a home.

In addition to moist areas, molds ourish inother conditions as well.

OO SOUC: Molds are notpicky eaters and can eed on various

materials, including wood, abric, wall-paper and drywall.

A: Although mold needs oxygen togrow, mold ares best in areas that arepoorly ventilated.

AMT: Mold can grow in tempera-tures between 40 and 110 F. Tereore,unless its below reezing outdoors, theresa good chance mold spores are thriving.

Molds versatility to live in a variety o areasand eed on just about anything makes it aormidable oe. But there are natural waysto tackle it.

Mold thrives in moist conditions, soremoving the source o moisture is the

primary way to control mold growth. Investin a dehumidifer i your home is plaguedby moisture. Dehumidifers are especiallyuseul in basements and crawlspaces wheremoisture tends to be a problem.

Its also good to avoid using bleach toaddress a mold problem. Although bleachis an excellent disinectant, it is not alwayssuccessul in killing mold spores. Te mostit may do is whiten areas where the moldis growing. Plus, bleach has its own strongaroma and can be noxious to breathe in athigh doses.

Instead o bleach, consider all-naturalmethods o controlling mold. Straight

vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent o mold.Using it in a spray bottle on mold can helpto kill it and keep it at bay. ea tree oil andgraperuit seed extract are also very eec-tive at eliminating mold. Unlike othermethods o mold removal, graperuit seedextract does not have an odor.

Keeping a home ventilated is anoway to fght mold. Mold preers somestagnant conditions, so allowing resinto the house can make it harder or mto thrive. In bathrooms and kitchensexhaust ans or open windows to rethe humidity and moisture le behind

Mold can be an irritant to people are sensitive to the spores, but in mcases, mold is more o an eyesore anuisance than something a homeowneeds to worry about. Using some sstrategies to reduce its growth can mold under control.

Most amilies across the globe have been aected bycancer. Aecting millions o lives each year, cancer doesnot discriminate.

A host o actors can determine i a person gets cancer. Oneo the actors that can inuence i a person gets cancer is his orher exposure to carcinogens. Tough many people have heard ocarcinogens, those same people might be less amiliar with whatcarcinogens actually are, and i theres anything they can do toreduce exposure to and protect themselves rom these potentiallydeadly substances.

hat is a carcinogen?Substances and exposures that can lead to cancer are called carcin-ogens. Carcinogens do not always cause cancer, and substancesconsidered carcinogens have varying levels o cancer-causingpotential. Minimal exposure to certain carcinogens may increaseones risk o getting cancer signifcantly, while other carcinogensmay cause cancer only aer prolonged exposure at high levels.

hat happens when a person has cancer?Cancer is caused by changes in a cells DNA. Tis change can becaused by carcinogens, though some carcinogens have no directimpact on DNA. For example, a carcinogen may cause cells todivide at a aster rate than is normal, and that accelerated divisioncan increase the chances that DNA changes will occur.

hat are some examples of exposures?Outside exposures, oen reerred to as environmental actors,can also be considered carcinogens. Te ollowing are a ew o themore common environmental actors that qualiy as carcinogens.

Liestyle actors: Poor nutrition, use o tobacco and lack ophysical activity are a ew o the liestyle exposures that canlead to cancer.

Naturally occurring exposures: Exposure to radon gas, inec-tious agents and ultraviolet light are some o the naturallyoccurring exposures that can lead to cancer.

Medical treatments: Men, women and children who weretreated or certain ailments might have been exposed to certainactors that can lead to cancer. Tese include treatments likechemotherapy, radiation and medications that suppressed theimmune system.

hat are some examples of substancesthat are known carcinogens?As previously mentioned, not all carcinogens will cause caFor instance, some that are known human carcinogens, incing alcoholic beverages, will not necessarily cause cancer. Buollowing are a ew o the more recognizable substances conered known human carcinogens.

Asbestos Coal, indoor emissions rom household combustion Formaldehyde Mineral oils, untreated or mildly treated Neutron radiation Nickel compounds Shale oils obacco smoke and smokeless tobacco

Are there dierent classications ofcarcinogens?Te International Agency or Research on Cancer has spen

last 30 years evaluating the cancer-causing potential o more 900 likely substances and exposures. Tat research has enabledIARC to devise a system or classiying carcinogens as ollow

Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans Group 3: Unclassifable as to carcinogenicity in humans Group 4: Probably not carcinogenic to humans

Because testing carcinogens is so dicult (it is unethical to teshumans), many o the carcinogens studied by the IARC are classifbeing a probable, possible or unknown risk. Slightly more than 1the candidates studied by the IARC are classifed as Group 1 carcino

Its important to note that, in addition to the IARC rsystem, other agencies and groups, including the National cology Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agehave developed their own rating systems to determine the cancausing potential o certain substances and exposures.

Are you aware o what kinesiology is? Imagine i you hadaccess to a simple yes-or-no answer to any question youwished to ask ... a demonstrable true answer to any ques-

mins, 3 essential atty acids and 12 amino acids! Teres A LO toknow. Kinesiology could be the tool to help you out.

Kinesiology is the study o muscles and their movements,especially applied to physical conditioning. Te study o kinesi-ology frst received scientifc attention in the second hal o the

last century through the work o Dr. George Goodheart, whopioneered the specialty he called applied kinesiology aer fndingthat benign physical stimuli or instance, benefcial nutritionalsupplements would increase the strength o certain indicatormuscles, whereas hostile stimuli would cause those muscles tosuddenly weaken. Te body knows through muscle testing what isgood and benefcial, or bad or it!

o test, it takes two people to perorm a kinesiological test. Hthe subject stand or sit, right arm relaxed at his side, le armparallel to the oor, elbow straight. Face your subject and pyour right hand on their le arm just above the wrist. elsubject to resist when you try to push his arm down. Now, pdown on the arm airly quickly, frmly and evenly. Te idea push just hard enough to test the spring and bounce in the not so hard that the muscle becomes atigued. It is not a queso who is stronger, but o whether the muscle can lock the shder joint against the push.

A ollower o Dr. Goodheart was Dr. Diamond. In hissubjects, he did a double blind study as a mass demonstrainvolving entire lecture audiences. Subjects universally teweak in response to unmarked envelopes containing artisweetener, and the others tested strong to identical placebo elopes.

ere is no passion to be found playingsmall in settling for a life that is less thanthe one you are capable of living.

Nelson Mandela

remember years ago when I was in train-ing programs in the process o becom-ing a holistic psychotherapist. When I

would come back to the meetings everyonewas excited about the work they were doing

with their clients, but people were strugglingto get a solid practice o the ground.

T OU POT:

1. Having to cancel a workshop that theyplanned because o not enough attendees.

2. Having to cancel a presentation theywere to give because o not enoughparticipants.

3. Not having enough clients so they couldquit their job and work in their passion

ull-time.4. Undercharging and getting rustrated

because they elt drained rather thanenergized by the work they were doing.(Tis is what happens when you dontcharge enough or the powerul workyou do!)

5. Not attracting enough ideal clients: thosedeeply committed to their personalgrowth excited and willing to jump inwith both eet in the healing process.

I would hear these reports and get VERYsad.I saw all o this beautiul healing worknot getting out there in a big way tohelp the hundreds o thousands o peopleon the planet who so desperately need thisholistic healing NOW.

I, on the other hand, had a consistently ullpractice and NEVER canceled a workshopor presentation. Recently we were talkingwith a person who is interested in one o our

upcoming programs and she said, Wi you dont get enough participants oprogram, will you cancel it? I laughedsaid to her, Tat thought never even crmy mind because it has n
