M

y adult children have been working from “home” in their original nest for the last year. Having been on their own for a time managing their personal household affairs has created habits that don’t necessarily align with how my husband and I operate. Little kitchen and tidiness clashes have brought back many memories of when they were younger. The family dynamics are still able to resurrect themselves at a moment’s notice. The difference is they are adults now, so “parenting” is a new adventure.

In our Wise Words column on Ancient Teachings for Modern Parenting [page 30] National Public Radio (NPR) science correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff shares what she learned about parenting from the Maya in the Yucatan, the Inuit above the Arctic Circle and the Hadzabe in Tanzania.

Her exploration led to the TEAM [Togetherness, Encouragement, Autonomy and Minimal interference] parenting method. Her book sounds fascinating, perhaps there are some tips for parenting with adult kids too.

In contrast to what Doucleff found in her travels, our western culture can struggle with being overburdened with possessions. Our feature article, Less Stuff, More Joy, shares how stripping back to minimal belongings can lead to a feeling of clear-headedness spaciousness and lightness [page 18].

In this issue, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month with inspiration for optimal breast health. Find lifestyle choices to lower disease risks [page 22], tips for proactive breast health [page 15], and discover how Assisted Lymphatic Therapy can help prevent disease [page 16]. To support overall health, we’ve included several tasty recipes. On page 28 you’ll find fall recipes from local nutritionists; the soup and harvest bowl look like a satisfying meal. Plus, enjoy a pear and lentil salad recipe in the article Fall Fruits for Savory Dishes [page 26].

I hope you find ideas in this issue to nourish the body and nurture your home.

Here’s to eternal parenting!

Harmony Neurofeedback Offers Brain Training

H

armony Neurofeedback is passionate about brain health and healing through neuroplasticity brain training. NeurOptimal Dynamical Neurofeedback provides an opportunity through brain training for people to become more adaptive and flexible in the face of stressors allowing the mind to be more calm, comfortable and confident.

“Negative thoughts, to-do lists, and life’s stressors are always there to overwhelm our brains and can throw us into fight or flight mode. Over time this can impact our bodies causing anxiety, chronic systemic pain, lack of sleep and depression. These are just a few of the side effects of untreated stress,” says owner Marly Jones.

During a NeurOptimal training session, special sensors are attached to the scalp to gather data on the electrical activity of the brain. While training, the patient listens to a music soundtrack with skips, pauses and interruptions.

“Brain training is like going to the gym and the spa at the same time,” says Jones. The NeurOptimal program acts as a mirror for the brain to see itself in order for it to make changes, synchronize and bring the focus back to the present moment. This form of neurofeedback is entirely led by the person who is training which allows the body to decide the healing priority.

“We want people to experience harmony, clarity, balance and synchronization in their life,” says Jones.

For more information, call 321-405-2795 or visit HarmonyNeurofeedback.com.

Harmony Neurofeedback is located at 1300 Pinetree Dr, Ste 9, Indian Harbour Beach.

Waterpik Available at Health Connections Dentistry in Indian Harbour Beach

C

laire Stagg, DDS, founder of Health Connections Dentistry in Indian Harbour Beach, is pleased to offer Waterpik products at her office for patients as an integral part of her I.F.B.I (Irrigate.

Floss.Brush.Irrigate) regime. Dentists recommend irrigators to help remove plaque, food, bacteria, and other debris from between teeth and below the gum line.

“Since flossing is an important part of regular oral hygiene, I want to make it as easy as possible for my patients to effectively clean between their teeth,” days Dr. Stagg. “Traditional string flossing usually is a challenge, both in procedure and finding the time, and is still recommended. Water Irrigators make that job more efficient and less time consuming.”

Dr. Stagg offers progressive and gentle dental care in a “green,” safe and comfortable environment. She rejuvenates mercury-free smiles and facilitates the relief of TMJ, snoring and sleep apnea.

During a dental exam, Dr. Stagg connects oral and whole-body symptoms to the root causes of ‘dis-ease’.

Her emphasis on natural care for all ages promotes balance and symmetry in facial growth development, from functional orthopedics to solutions for pain, full dental rehabilitations, dentures, and problem bites.

Group Past Life Regression at Elliot Museum in Stuart

Vero Beach Welcomes Skypoint Chiropractic

ess the Treasure Coast Medium is pleased to offer a Past Life Group Regression on Tuesday, October 26 at 6 p.m. at the Elliot Museum in Stuart.

“Have you ever wondered why you’re so drawn to a specific place or particular time in history? Met someone you feel like you’ve known forever? Perhaps even faint impressions or wisps of past times appear in your dreams or meditations? These may be clues to a previous incarnation,” explains Tetrault.

Past life Regression allows a direct route to subconscious memories from previous incarnations that still hold influence in our current life today. The Regression Method is a modality in self-discovery, often explaining fears, phobias, character traits, personal preferences and talents. “Past Life Regression can assist us in becoming clear about who we are, understanding karmic relationships and releasing old influences that have extended from another lifetime into this one,” says Tetrault.

Tess Tetrault, Psychic Medium, was trained by Dr. Brian Weiss, MD. She will facilitate a group regression consisting of a guided hypnosis through two past lives. Soul groups, soul mates, and soul patterns will also be discussed.

ecently opened in Vero Beach, Dr. Scienski provides patients at Skypoint Chiropractic natural treatments for a variety of healthcare needs. Dr. Scienski has been assisting patients for 16 years and works closely with each patient to thoroughly understand their health concerns, then ensures each imbalance is addressed.

“I enjoy seeing the improvements in my patients’ conditions and quality of life. We work with a variety of pain issues: lower back, sciatica, headaches, leg and foot, arm and hand—all of these can diminish a person’s quality of life. What we strive to provide is the experience and dedication it takes to find the underlying issues and work from there,” explains Dr. Scienski.

Patient, Kara Schmidt, shares, “Dr. Scienski has helped me tremendously with a neck injury, as well as other digestive and hormonal issues through his knowledge of chiropractic, acupuncture points, and kinesiology. He has a passion for what he does and helping people.”

Tips for Proactive Breast Health

by Katie Ainsley As we embrace Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, here are some ways to be proactive about your breast health and to help prevent breast disease.

Do You Suffer with Pain & Numbness Caused by

NEUROPATHY? STOP NERVE DAMAGE

with our revolutionary protocol before the effects are irreversible!

• Non-surgical • Drug-free • 90% done at home

Eliminate Toxins Toxins can be found in household cleaning products as well as cosmetics. Harsh chemicals found in household cleaners and beauty and body products are harmful to overall health and can disrupt your endocrine system, create hormonal imbalances and even cause breast cancer. The body absorbs the toxins when you apply products to the skin, especially to the underarm area where there are several lymph nodes that directly relate to the breast.

Lotions, deodorants, perfumes and make-up products can contain toxins that are detrimental to breast health. Switching to clean, natural, plant-based cleaning products and cosmetics are best for overall health.

Exercise Physical activity helps with mental clarity, maintaining a healthy weight, decreasing estrogen, and preventing disease by strengthening the immune system. Exercising increases the oxygen in the blood, which is helpful in preventing cancer cell growth. Movement helps lower body fat and maintain optimum weight; and working out provides an outlet for clearing the mind and releasing tension.

Regular Screenings It is important to consistently perform monthly breast selfchecks as well as annual well-women checks with your doctor.

Incorporating thermography screening is helpful to prevent breast disease. Thermography is a breast screening tool that shows the changes in the breast tissue and detects breast cancer cells years before they form a tumor. It is a non-invasive and a pain-free, proactive screening test. Annual structural tests such as mammogram, ultrasound or MRI are all helpful ways to monitor breast health as well.

Katie Ainsley is the owner and thermographer at Thermography Of Brevard. They have three locations serving Brevard and Indian River Counties in Melbourne, Merritt Island and Vero Beach.

Assisted Lymphatic Therapy for Breast Cancer Prevention

by Heather Leah

W

e have a large amount of lymph nodes around the breasts. There are a cluster of lymph nodes in the armpits.

If lymph is congested in the armpit, or throughout the body, fatigue and ill health occurs and the lymph nodes surrounding the breasts cannot drain properly.

Lymphatic congestion occurs when the lymphatic flow slows down due to chronic inflammation. Congestion allows toxins and proteins to accumulate.

How do lymph nodes become congested?

• Lack of exercise • Emotional stress/trauma • Hormone imbalance • Poor diet • Constrictive clothing such as a bra An overload of toxins in the body from the environment, molds, heavy metals, and viruses and bacterial infections Since the lymphatic system does not circulate on its own, it requires help to move properly thru the body, which is

why exercise and a clean diet are important. Breast cancer, swollen lymph nodes, and chronically tender and swollen breasts are all a result of congested lymph in the breasts.

Research now tells us 90% of breast cancers have no known risk factors such as a family history of breast cancer. This means a high percentage of breast cancer cases may be associated with environmental and metabolic factors, which is why prevention is

key. Adding Assisted Lymphatic Therapy (ALT) and self-massage to your healthcare routine could save your life, and applies to both men and women.

Now more than ever we need to take care of our bodies due to environmental toxins. ALT is one way to help prevent breast cancer by keeping the lymph moving properly throughout the entire body. ALT is a form of lymphatic drainage that is a gentle, non-invasive technique to stimulate the proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. A combination of vibration, light, and electrical waves help to stimulate the lymph flow by causing the dissociation of proteins that have become trapped in the interstitium.

When trapped proteins release their bond, the stagnate lymph is liberated and will flow out into its normal filtration and reabsorption channels.

Lymphatic drainage also helps one recover from reconstructive surgeries, such as mastectomy, by softening scar tissue and increasing recovery time. One session of ALT is equal to 8-10 manual lymphatic sessions. ALT is also able to stimulate lymph nodes deep within the body where 70% of our immune cells are located, which cannot be reached manually.

Never Again

Forever Chemicals Banned in Maine Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nicknamed “forever chemicals”, are a class of 9,000 ubiquitous compounds found in fracking wells, food packaging, cookware, cosmetics and dental floss. They are resistant to degrading and accumulate in the environment and our bodies. In lieu of federal regulation, the state of Maine has enacted a wide-ranging ban on the use of all PFAS by 2030 for all purposes unless considered unavoidable. Chemical & Engineering News calls this action a world first. Lawmakers hope this precedent will motivate manufacturers and others in the industry to move to safer alternatives that don’t include toxic chemicals. European countries Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden are also considering restrictions on the use of PFAS.

Food Waste Complicates Effort to Slow Climate Change candle photo/AdobeStock.com

Although more than 900 million people around the world don’t have enough to eat, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) disagrees with the conclusion of the United Nations World Food Program, which tracks indicators of acute hunger across 92 countries, that the world needs more food. In a report, Driven to Waste, WWF estimates that 2.5 billion tons of food are wasted every year around the world on farms, at retail stores, restaurants, homes and during post-farm transportation, storage, manufacturing and processing.

The nonprofit suggests that food waste should be viewed not only in relation to world hunger, but also in the context of climate change. Food production consumes vast amounts of land, water and energy in ways that contribute to the global climate crisis. They claim that food waste accounts for 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

More than one billion acres of land is used to grow food on farms that could be used for rewilding efforts that have been shown to mitigate the effects of climate change. Shortening long food supply chains, for example, could give farmers greater knowledge of their end markets to help estimate food production needs more accurately. Giving farmers more flexibility to negotiate with buyers could help them invest in waste-reducing training and technology.

Less Stuff, More Joy Ways to Live Simpler and Lighter on Mother Earth

hen holistic wellness coach and personal trainer Sergio Rojas saw his contract with a trucking company terminated by the pandemic, he and his wife Krista turned it into an opportunity to step away from a life of too much stuff and over-scheduled activities. “When life gets too complicated and there’s too much going on, you get stressed and irritated easier,” he says. “You don’t feel connected to yourself.”

The couple sold their 4,200-square-foot house in Dubuque, Iowa, along with 85 percent of their belongings and spent eight months living out of suitcases exploring the southeastern United States and Latin America with their 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. “We wanted our kids to see what it’s like to downsize, to live with less,” says Rojas.

After considering Vancouver and Miami, they settled in the Atlanta area in a townhouse half the size of their Iowa home not far from extended family. “A simpler life lets you focus on what’s important,” he says. “We have deep, deep conversations with our kids, and dinner can be a two-and-a-half-hour experience, with a game of cards and singing songs.”

18

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

Not everyone moves in such dramatic fashion toward a simpler lifestyle, but thanks in part to the lessons of COVID-19, intentionally living with less is gaining currency across the country.

“The pandemic gave us an uninvited sample of a more minimalist and simple life, and we have all become acutely aware of what feels good to let go of and what’s really important to us,” says minimalist blogger Ema Hidlebaugh, of MinimizeMyMess.com.

According to research from the multinational consulting firm Accenture, the pandemic made consumers more mindful of purchases, more conscious of food waste and more interested in sustainable, local options. Other polls found that two out of three Americans adopted more eco-friendly habits during the pandemic, and that 52 percent are open now to living in a van.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach for simpler living; each person crafts what best fits their values and needs. Three common strands have emerged: minimalist simplicity—living with less clutter and busyness; ecological simplicity—living with the sustainability of the planet as the priority; and conscious simplicity—driven by deep personal and spiritual values. The MyNaturalAwakenings.com

approaches can overlap, yet each has its unique flavor. None has an end stage: All are dynamic explorations and encourage continual experimentation and growth.

With time, they often merge together. In an in-depth study published in the International Journal of Applied Positive Psychology, people living long-term minimalist lifestyles reported spending more time with family and friends, volunteering, engaging in pro-ecological behaviors, making sustainable and ethical purchases, and choosing to spend money on experiences rather than material objects. They described their mental space as a feeling of clear-headedness, spaciousness and lightness, and some said that stripping back to minimal possessions enabled them to strip back to their true identity.

Moving toward simplicity often starts with a decision— sometimes thrust upon us—to reconsider how to spend our energy. “Whatever you own, owns you,” counselled pacifist, mystic and environmental activist Peace Pilgrim in the 1980s—a sobering thought, given that the average American household is estimated to hold 300,000 separate items, from T-shirts to coffee cups. As one woman told her, “I’ve just realized I’m working my fingers to the bone to provide a home for my furniture!”

Minimalist Simplicity Minimalism involves “owning less, practicing sufficiency and improving the quality of life by not indulging in consumerism,” says Aniruddha Pangarkar, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, whose study on the topic appeared in the Journal of Business Research. “By practicing minimalism, consumers can achieve life-goals through experiencing well-being, satisfaction, happiness and peace.”

A 2019 YouGov survey reported that 17 percent of Americans describe themselves as minimalists, 23 percent would like to become one and 31 percent have no interest in the idea.

Historically, minimalism in America goes back to the Quakers and Henry David Thoreau’s writings, but it gained new life in 2014 with Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. She says holding each object and asking, “Does it spark joy?” If it doesn’t, thank it and toss it, she advises. After her Netflix series ran in 2019, thrift stores reported a dramatic upswing in donations.

Because research suggests that clutter is linked to depression, fatigue and higher levels of stress, decluttering alone can be lifechanging. Journalist Ellen Pober Rittberg, of Brooklyn, moved into a one-room studio when she downsized from her house. “I could have chosen a one-bedroom apartment, but it would have meant more places to put things that I probably didn’t need to acquire,” she says.

Asking if something “sparks joy” can also be applied to everything from friendships to jobs to food and finances, whittling away what is not essential. As millennials are discovering, renting instead of owning a home frees up weekends for fun instead of home repairs. Using Lyft or Uber and mass transit saves money otherwise spent on car loans, repairs and gas. Spurning designer brands opens up funds for trips to Yellowstone or Iceland.

“Even though everyone embraces minimalism differently, each path leads to the same place: a life with more time, more money

Ecological Simplicity This green approach means “to choose ways of living that touch the Earth more lightly and that reduce our ecological impact on the web of life,” writes eco-activist Duane Elgin in his seminal book Voluntary Simplicity. Half a century ago, the Whole Earth Catalog kicked off the movement with its Earth-centered living strategies.

Today, thousands of websites and books offer step-by-step ecological advice, recycling has become commonplace, electric cars are the hottest sellers and according to the National Retail Federation, 70 percent of American consumers value sustainability in products.

Lowering our impact on the planet means living more simply with less. Among other strategies, this means going without household plastics or lawn chemicals; gardening and buying local produce in season to lower shipping emissions; choosing equipment and clothes made to last many years; and reducing energy consumption at home, work and on the road. Sustainable living can be as simple as using a personal mug when ordering a latte or as complex as joining a stockholders’ rebellion to force sustainable corporate policies. It also can mean returning to the simpler practices of yesteryear, such as line-drying clothes and bonding more closely with the natural world.

For Barbi Gardiner, owner of The Outdoor Apothecary, in Plainfield, Connecticut, embracing a simpler, sustainable lifestyle after leaving a high-pressure job meant “adopting a do-it-yourself attitude” that included starting a permaculture garden, composting, raising chickens, foraging and cooking wild food, and creating healing remedies from homegrown and foraged herbs. “Nature is the medicine for what ails us,” she says.

Conscious Simplicity Deeply held values, not money and possessions, shape this form of simpler living, sometimes called soulful or conscious simplicity. Its focus is on life-enhancing experiences, inner growth, spirituality, natural health, creativity, nurturing relationships and social action.

Owning bling has little allure. “With conscious simplicity, we can seek lives that are rich with experiences, satisfaction and learning, rather than packed with things,” writes Elgin.

Sometimes passion is the driver. Alex Honnold, the renowned rock climber profiled in Free Solo, lived in a van for 10 years while scaling Yosemite’s El Capitan and other formidable peaks. He donates one-third of his income to global solar power initiatives.

Millennials like him are finding stuff less enticing: The Harris Group reports that 72 percent of them say they would rather spend money on experiences than material things. A study from San Francisco State University found that the happiness of buying something new like a car or a laptop fades over time, while spending money on an experience provides joy long after the experience has ended.

Deeply held values can mandate a simpler life. Ross Martinie Eiler found his calling 15 years ago when he read about the voluntary poverty of the Catholic Worker Movement, which offers hospitality to the homeless in 178 centers worldwide. “It struck me as an authentic way of living that’s true to the beauty and goodness of the religion,” he says.

Today his life is built around the Bloomington, Indiana, Catholic Worker community. He, his wife Andrea and their four children live communally in four houses with other members and guests, sharing meals, belongings and easy-going conversations with the homeless. He tunes pianos part time for money, half of which he donates to the community. For fun, he pounds the keys in a rollicking boogie-woogie band.

The committed communal life isn’t always easy. “Every day there’s a new challenge that needs a new approach. Against my will, I’ve been forced to become a better person,” he chuckles. “I have little money on paper—I’m probably in the bottom 10 percent— but I don’t need anything. And yeah, I feel it’s very right for me.”

Healthy Breast Basics Lifestyle Choices to Lower Disease Risks

O

ne in eight women in the United States develops breast cancer in the course of her lifetime. “Notably, only five to 10 percent can be blamed on inherited gene mutations, and merely 13 percent of women with breast cancer have a first-degree relative with a history of disease,” says Kristi Funk, a board-certified breast surgeon in Santa Monica, California, and medical director of PinkLotus.com. “It’s empowering to realize that the causes for the vast majority of breast cancer are under our control in the choices we make every day.”

“Whenever you lift fork to mouth, you move closer to cancer, or farther away,” says the author of Breasts: The Owner’s Manual—a vegan proponent. “Plants, legumes and whole grains provide nutritional armor for your cells, decreasing cancer risk.

They release molecules that scavenge free radicals, eliminate carcinogens, prevent and repair DNA damage, identify and destroy harmful cells, inhibit the supply of blood to tumors, stimulate the immune system, regulate hormone metabolism and reduce inflammation.” Funk recommends regular consumption of cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, soy, ground flaxseed, berries, matcha green tea, mushrooms, turmeric, aloe vera, garlic, onion, chives and cacao.

Functional doctor Elizabeth Boham, the medical director of Dr. Mark Hyman’s UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, proposes a balance of animal and vegetable protein, as long as the animal sources are good, like eggs, salmon or grass-fed beef without antibiotics. “Organic, non-GMO soy like tofu or edamame may decrease a woman’s risk of breast cancer, but avoid bad soy

that’s added to processed food, including soybean oils and soy lecithins,” she advises. “I also suggest cutting back on dairy for women at high risk of breast cancer because it naturally contains growth hormones, which may cause things to grow in our body that we don’t want to grow.”

Citing a clear association between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk, Boham recommends eliminating or moderating drinks to no more than five a week. She also highlights the importance of seven to nine hours of sleep and relaxation techniques to improve stress response.

Maintaining a healthy weight is also important. “Our body fat is where hormones get turned into estrogen, which has been associated with an increase in breast cancer,” Boham says, adding that 35 grams of fiber per day will feed healthy bacteria in the gut which helps eliminate used-up estrogen and other toxins. “Avoid xenoestrogens, too, which can act on the estrogen receptor, such as BPA in plastics and store receipts, parabens in skincare products and pesticides and herbicides on lawns and in non-organic foods.”

Boham suggests eliminating refined and processed carbohydrates like bread, white rice and cookies, which cause blood sugar to spike and the body to produce insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar after every meal. “Over time, people develop insulin resistance, causing it to produce even more insulin to do its job. Those high levels of insulin can encourage cancer growth,” she explains.

Carlos Garcia, M.D., director of the Utopia Cancer Center (UtopiaCancerCenter.com), in Oldsmar, Florida, and author of Cancer is a Symptom, uses liver and gallbladder flushes, colonic irrigations and coffee enemas to help the body purge toxins. “Gut flora imbalances compromise the immune response and nutritional absorption. Yearly colonic irrigation with recolonization is essential in the prevention of disease,” he explains.

Some women experience breast tenderness or pain and lumpy, bumpy breast tissue; having dense breasts can increase breast cancer risk, Boham says, noting that too much caffeine or an iodine deficiency can exacerbate these symptoms. She recommends consuming less coffee and more iodine-rich foods like nori, kelp powder or seafood.

According to Boham, there isn’t enough good research to say that we should never wear underwire bras, but good lymphatic flow and circulation to the area is important and can be facilitated with daily movement, exercise and sweating to remove stuck toxins and support the detoxification system.

Boham says many women find their breast cancer during a self-exam. “Know your own body. If something looks or feels different, if you feel a lump that shouldn’t be there or see a shift in the skin, a dimpling or a pulling, have it checked. It’s often nothing, but you could find the cancer early, which makes all the difference in the world.”

Cannabis and Canines How Cannabidiol Benefits Dogs

by Caroline Coile

S

Topper is among the thousands of furry family members that have found relief with CBD, one of 113 cannabinoids found in cannabis (hemp) plants. Success stories abound of how CBD has helped dogs overcome anxiety, reduce seizures and even beat cancer.

Cannabinoids, including CBD and the psychoactive compound THC, are substances that mimic the naturally occurring chemicals produced in

all vertebrates. Receptors for these endocannabinoids are found throughout the body, especially in the brain, nervous system and immune system, as well as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, intestinal tract, muscles, bones and both the reproductive and circulatory systems. They act as master regulators that signal other systems when to speed up or slow down, working to stabilize the body and return it to homeostasis. Cannabinoids from the

truck with severe arthritis, Topper, a 7-year-old Ibizan Hound, was in such pain he could hardly walk. He had to be carried outside to eat or use the bathroom, and medication wasn’t working.

On a friend’s recommendation, his owner, Christy Moore, of Florence, Arizona, gave him cannabidiol (CBD). “Within three days, he could walk on all four legs and I was crying tears of joy,” she recalls. “It was the miracle we needed.”

cannabis plant affect these same receptors, each in slightly different ways.

Unlike THC, which is toxic for dogs at prescribed human dosages, the most significant, documented side effects of CBD are diarrhea and changes in some liver enzyme values after several weeks. The main concern with CBD is that it inhibits cytochrome P450, a chemical in the body responsible for metabolizing most drugs.

That means CBD could affect the effective potency of a prescribed drug.

What Research Shows While thousands of reports on CBD’s effect on laboratory animals and humans have been published, only a few have been conducted with dogs or cats. Still, CBD seems promising for arthritis, anxiety, itchiness and possibly seizures, cancer and other maladies.

ARTHRITIS: In a Cornell University study, some dogs were initially so decrepit that their owners considered euthanasia, but after just days on CBD they were trotting around and even climbing stairs. A Baylor University study found similar improvement.

ITCHINESS: An Australian study found CBD reduced itchiness, inflammation and skin lesions by 51 percent after eight weeks of treatment. An American study also found CBD significantly reduced reports of itchiness.

CANCER: Cannabinoids are reported to induce cancer cell death and prevent metastasis. A Cornell University study found that CBD along with a standard chemotherapy drug reduced cancer cell proliferation in vitro more than the chemotherapy drug alone. Anecdotal reports from veterinarians have claimed CBD shrunk cancer cells or put dogs into remission.

BEHAVIOR: Despite those reports, no controlled study has shown CBD to be more effective than prescription medications in reducing anxiety. A University of Kentucky study found physiological measurements of anxiety in response to noise were not significantly different for CBD versus a placebo, and were worse compared to trazodone (a drug commonly prescribed for

anxiety). A University of Western Australia study found shelter dogs with aggressive tendencies exhibited less aggression toward humans after two weeks of taking CBD. SEIZURES: Many anecdotal reports hail CBD’s success in combatting seizures in dogs, but the single controlled study delivered only moderate results. A Colorado State University study found CBD only worked with some dogs, and it reduced, but didn’t eliminate, seizures.

OTHER: Evidence from laboratory animals supports CBD’s effectiveness in promoting bone healing, fighting infection, treating inflammatory bowel disease, slowing degenerative myelopathy, quelling nausea and relieving pain.

Choosing Wisely Broad-spectrum products work better than isolated CBD because they use the whole cannabis plant. Choose those with thirdparty certificates of analysis of potency and testing for heavy metals, mycotoxins or pesticides. Avoid human edible products that often contain ingredients such as xylitol that are toxic to pets.

Aim for about 0.1 to 0.2 milligram per kilogram of a dog’s weight, given twice daily by mouth. Work up gradually, but beware that more is not always better with CBD, because sometimes the response is biphasic—it doesn’t work if they get too little or too much.

Discuss CBD with a veterinarian, but realize that not all of them are familiar or comfortable with the subject. CBD, like many supplements and drugs designed for humans and used on canines, is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Overall, the evidence is compelling that CBD can help some conditions. The endocannabinoid system is the largest system in the body and the least explored.

CBD is not a miracle drug, but it may be the miracle our four-footed friends need.

Fall Fruits for Savory Dishes fresh approaches to autumn flavors

beton studio/AdobeStock.com

M

ove over, summer berries and stone fruits—‘tis the season for a cornucopia of fall fruits, including crunchy apples, chewy figs and tart pomegranates. By taking a page from the playbooks of orchard chefs, home cooks can flex the unique flavors and health powers of these autumn delights with savory mains and sides.

Fall fruits boast many healthful properties, from the apple’s plentiful soluble fiber and vitamin C to heart-healthy lycopene and beta-carotene found in orange-skinned persimmons. Pears are also loaded with pectin, which helps lower cholesterol, fight diabetes and promote gut health. Opting for light, savory preparations of fruit such as seasonal salads and soups over sugary desserts makes them an even healthier choice.

Healdsburg, California, restauranteur Kyle Connaughton creates dishes highlighting different fruit varieties for his 26

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

restaurant’s 11-course menu, which changes daily. “This region was actually known for its heirloom apples and cider-making long before it was known for wine. We have these incredible heirloom fruits, including experimental varietals from the 1800s that no one even knows what they are. So many varietals got lost in the quest to grow fruit bigger and faster,” says Connaughton, who runs SingleThread Farms with his wife Katina. Their 25 acres include an heirloom fruit orchard, olive trees, beehives, grapevines and chicken coops that supply fresh ingredients to their three-Michelin-star restaurant.

“Some pear varieties are very crisp and dense, and poach and roast well, whereas other soft-skin varieties are better pureed into drinks or sorbet,” says Connaughton. He creates dishes that celebrate all of the season’s bounty, and in California, fall brings persimmons and Dungeness crab. “Persimmons have a fibrous texture that don’t blend well into sauces and don’t freeze well for things like sorbets, which we like to make with other fall fruits like pomegranate. We prefer to use them in savory dishes, like a first course of cold steamed crab with persimmon.”

The orchard also grows Asian pears, which SingleThread Farms tends to use raw, often paired with raw fish. “Asian pears are very crisp, but not incredibly sweet, with an undertone of acidity. It has the watery crunch of a jicama that makes a nice backdrop for raw fish dishes like sashimi,” says Connaughton.

While the restaurant’s innovative menu focuses on small bites in curious combinations, the Connaughtons frequently have a simple family meal before the dinner service. In autumn, they will often toss together a salad featuring local goat or blue cheese; bitter chicory, frisee or radicchio greens; roasted fall hazelnuts or walnuts; and figs, persimmons or pomegranates from the orchard, served with a vinaigrette made with pomegranate molasses and macerated shallots.

The pink-fleshed, mountain rose apple, an autumn specialty of the Hood River Fruit Loop region of Oregon, often makes its way into salads at the dinner table of Katrina McAlexander, a third-generation farmer and owner of Grateful Vineyard, in Mount Hood. This 51-acre orchard and vineyard, brewery, winery and tasting room boasts more than 500 fruit varieties, including 150 kinds of apples alone.

Grateful Vineyard hosted the cooking competition show Top Chef this year for a Fruit Loop challenge, with competitors coming up with savory dishes such as pear risotto and scallops with an apple shallot relish.

McAlexander’s fall salads often feature fennel, herbs and arugula, topped with croutons made from leftover pizza dough.

Pears and apples from the orchard also get pickled, a nod to McAlexander’s Swiss heritage.

One of the vineyard tasting room’s signature dishes is an orchard pear pizza, with Anjou pears, caramelized onion and other savory ingredients on a base of olive oil and a long-ferment crust. The kitchen also uses pears in a vegan ceviche, tossing them with red onion, tomato, cucumber, cilantro and lime.

As the weather starts to shift, fruit adds a nice dimension to warming soups for chilly fall days. Adding cooked apples or pears to classics like puréed carrot or squash soup provides an extra dose of sweetness and fiber; sneak in fall greens like kale for even more nutrients. Fruits also help fill out hearty grain bowls alongside fall veggies like carrots, arugula and sweet potato, particularly paired with nutty grains like farro.

A RAY OF HOPE IN CHAOTIC TIMES

By Monte Leach and Marc Gregory

E

ven in these chaotic and perilous times, there is reason for hope.

Humanity finds itself at a major crossroads: Do we choose the path of selfish separatism and inequality based on greed and competition, leading to the destruction of ourselves and planet Earth; or the path of cooperation and sharing leading to global peace and prosperity?

Here to help us make the correct choice stands a group of Teachers unparalleled in their enlightenment and wisdom, unequaled in their ability to love and to serve. They are the Masters of Wisdom. At their head stands a being of the most extraordinary compassion and insight: Maitreya, the World Teacher. As the one awaited under various names by all major religious traditions, and as a Teacher for all humanity, Maitreya is here — along with the Masters of Wisdom — to guide us safely into the future.

The existence of these great Teachers was first made known in the West in the late 1800s by Helena Blavatsky, who lived among the Masters of Wisdom in the Himalayas for three years. In the early 20th century, Blavatsky’s work was continued by Alice A. Bailey, and, more recently, by British esotericist and artist Benjamin Creme. All three of these authors and educators were trained by, and worked directly with, the Masters of Wisdom.

According to the Ageless Wisdom tradition, as it is known, these highly advanced Teachers have lived in the remote areas of the world through the ages, helping and guiding humanity from behind the scenes.

Through his work over many years, Benjamin Creme made it known that at this critical time for humanity and the planet, the Masters of Wisdom,

headed by Maitreya, are coming forward now to live among us and teach us directly.

The path to peace and justice Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom are teachers in the broadest sense of the word. They have attained mastery over themselves, and as enlightened individuals devote all their time and energy in loving service to humanity.

They are not here to establish a new religion, but to show us how to live together in peace. This is simpler than we imagine, Maitreya has said.

The key is an equitable sharing of the Earth’s resources among all the world’s people. Through sharing we lessen global tensions, generate greater trust and cooperation among the nations — and begin to build a world where all have the basic necessities of life and live in balance with the environment.

Unless we share the world’s resources, there will never be economic and social justice in the world. Without justice, no peace.

Without peace, little hope for the future, as we have weapons that can destroy all life on Earth — weapons that almost surely would be used in any future widescale conflict.

With the future of the planet at stake, what will it take for us to abandon competition, conflict and division, and begin to manifest the grand ideals of sharing, justice and peace?

What’s needed is a change of attitude, a change of consciousness — above all a change of heart in humanity. It is that which Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom can inspire.

It is a monumental task to be sure. Fortunately, we have the help of monumental figures living among us now — a circumstance, according to the Ageless Wisdom tradition, that has never before taken place in recorded history. This group of enlightened teachers, as they touch the hearts of people everywhere, will galvanize us into action, helping us to lead our leaders toward the creation of a just and peaceful world. In the millions across the globe who are increasingly voicing their concerns for the health of our planet and demanding change in our political, economic and social systems, we see this needed change of mind and heart already beginning to take place.

At this crossroads for humanity, the path ahead is up to us. Maitreya has said, “Sharing and Justice, Brotherhood and Freedom are not new concepts. From the dawn of time mankind has linked his aspiration to these beckoning stars.

Now, my friends, shall we anchor them in the world.”

Michaeleen Doucleff on Ancient Teachings for Modern Parenting

by Julie Peterson

N

ational Public Radio (NPR) science correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff literally searched the world to learn how to be a better parent.

She learned how to raise kind and helpful children, and detailed the journey in a book, Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans. Doucleff

Personalized Quality Care

learned the basics of parenting from experiences gathered with her 3-year-old daughter among the Maya in the Yucatan, the Inuit above the Arctic Circle and the Hadzabe in Tanzania. The hunter-gatherer parents that she encountered convinced Doucleff that modern parenting needs to be overhauled and that there is a path to healthier families.

What is wrong with 21st-century parenting?

Western parents have, in many ways, forgotten how to relate to children in a way that’s calm, peaceful and cooperative. We don’t really know how to cooperate with them or teach them how to cooperate with us.

Instead, our relationship with kids centers around control. I think this is a major reason for the epidemic of depression and anxiety among American children. They have little autonomy, but they also feel disconnected from the parents because they don’t know how to cooperate with them. At the end of the day, kids are lonely.

For tens of thousands of years, parents learned how to be moms and dads from older people who lived in their homes or nearby.

We’ve lost this social support and structure.

Parents have to look for guidance from parenting “experts” online and in books.

Unfortunately, these experts offer a narrow view of parenting styles, tools and methods.

What was the catalyst that led you to travel the world with a toddler to research parenting methods?

When my daughter Rosy was 2 years old, my husband and I were really struggling as

parents. Rosy was having a lot of tantrums, which often included hitting and biting. I read a ton of books and blogs, and everything I tried seemed to make her tantrums worse.

Then NPR sent me to a tiny Maya village in the Yucatan for a story about children’s attention. While I was there, the moms and dads showed me this whole other approach to parenting and relating to children, which is super gentle, calm and peaceful.

There’s no yelling, arguing, bickering or even nagging. The children are respectful to their parents, kind to their siblings and very helpful. I tried out a few of the elements with Rosy and I was stunned at how well they worked.

How did you choose the Maya, Inuit and Hadzabe communities?

In general, these three cultures excel in aspects of parenting with which Western culture really struggles. The Maya parents are incredibly skilled at raising helpful and cooperative children. Inuit parents have these wonderful and sophisticated tools for teaching children … how to control their anger and other types of emotional

regulation. And the Hadzabe families are world experts at raising confident, selfsufficient kids. The childhood anxiety and depression common in the United States is essentially nonexistent in these communities.

When did you notice a positive change in your parenting and relationship with your daughter?

Many of the tips and ideas in Hunt, Gather, Parent changed Rosy and our relationship right away. For example, when I started including Rosy in household chores and cut back on the “child-centered” activities, her behavior improved essentially overnight. She needed more connection, more responsibility and more ways to contribute.

Other parts of the book involve mind shifts or changes in my own behavior. Those took longer to have an impact on Rosy. But I was the slow one. Once I changed, she immediately followed.

Why will ancient methods of parenting from hunter-gatherer

families, what you coined “TEAM parenting,” work for parents everywhere?

These methods are about the parent-child relationship, which is the same around the world, especially when children are young.

The TEAM [Togetherness, Encouragement, Autonomy and Minimal interference] parenting method is a way of relating to children that’s independent of the surroundings or environment.

For example, in Tanzania, a 5-year-old girl learns to cooperate by helping her mom gather baobab pods or carrying a jug of water back from the river. In San Francisco, Rosy is learning to cooperate and be helpful in the same way by being included in household chores. She rinses dishes, scrambles the eggs, carries a small bag of groceries to the car at the supermarket. The details are different from place to place, but the concept is the same.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17

Fascial Yoga Workshop – 2-4pm. Fascial Yoga is a gentle, yet highly effective movement technique that releases stored trauma, through the process of

unwinding stagnant, trapped energy, allowing it to exit the emotional and physical body, thus, eliminating pain and restoring range of motion. Through gentle, sustained pressure into the fascial system, our tissue is re hydrated and able to move freely, taking the pressure off pain sensitive areas. This yogic technique is highly effective for eliminating migraines, back pain, knee pain and many other perhaps unexpected physical and emotional symptoms.
