t’s hard to believe it’s already October.
October carries with it pumpkins, leaf piles and Halloween costumes, the start of warmer meals and pre-holiday plans. Here at Natural Awakenings, it also has National Spinal Health Month, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, new expanded Healthy Pet pages, and a special issue on the Environment.

And, Mile High Natural Awakenings also has Boulder! We’ve merged magazines and will now be distributed in 9 counties: Boulder, Grand, Broomfield, Gilpin, Denver, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas and Arapahoe. We look forward to bringing even more local news from Boulder to our Denver readers, and vice versa. Both communities have so much to offer! Look for updates, new unpublished articles and information coming on our website soon at MileHighNaturalAwakenings.com. This month is so chock-full of interesting, thought-provoking information. Did you know one study shows that eating fresh mushrooms daily can inhibit cancer tumor growth? Read about it on page 20. Then read about prevention of breast cancer through the excellent advice of Dr. Katia Meier at Clear Sky Medical on page 14. Note to self: Must eat more vegetables. Who saw Bill McKibben on David Letterman? Considered the country’s foremost authority on the environment, he writes a scary, straight-talking article (page 16) that drives home the point that we all have to help our environment before we reach the tipping point; arguably, we have already reached it. Then read a local article on making small green changes by Lin Merage, owner of SolNe.com, a shopping website dedicated to green clothing and products. Lin battled for years with allergies and sensitivities to toxic household products (page 30). Lastly, read excellent information on keeping your spine healthy (page 22), including local tips from yoga teacher Hansa Knox and chiropractor Dr. Richard Keuhn (page 23). Whew! Lots to digest, like pumpkin for your pets (page 24)! Speaking of pumpkin (again) it’s about time we did some carving and baked some seeds to celebrate the season… someone pass the apple cider!
