Wake-up Call

aving just witnessed a pair of devastating hurricanes hit our country while tracking others in the Atlantic, I am convinced that something is brewing in the atmosphere of world thought we need to pay attention to.

It seems that tornados, floods, snowstorms, hailstorms and earthquakes are becoming more frequent and destructive, as well. What is Mother Nature telling us? As a student of the Bible, this reminds me of the nine plagues sent against Pharaoh in Exodus as God is measuredly trying to convince him to let His people go, each plague worse than the one before and each with a specific symbolism. As we know, Pharaoh finally woke up and responded to the inevitable will of God for the greater good of his children. Will we?

I’m intrigued that recent events coming on the heels of Al Gore’s recent documentary An Inconvenient Sequel, underscores the urgency and credibility of its warning. The real life scenes we’ve seen played out on television as Hurricanes Irma and Harvey victims survey damage to their material possessions and work to pick up shattered lives are eerily similar to the stories we hear about war refugees in other countries. Perhaps we are witnessing a new phenomenon of climate change refugees. Meanwhile, secularism holds increasing sway in America. Will we learn to turn to God for guidance and healing? Reports of divine protection from Irma’s destruction are pouring in from Natural Awakenings staff who are grateful for many blessings amidst the chaos.

As evidenced in my other favorite documentary, Racing Extinction, many people have already been displaced due to impacts associated with climate change, such as fishing villages whose livelihood died off due to rising water temperatures, or islanders’ homes now underwater from rising sea levels (early signs are showing up in Miami Beach, too). Because such changes don’t come with the visible drama of sudden catastrophes, they are not generally noticed as part of the wakeup call.

The great opportunity is to change our collective behavior and do things differently. As communities rebuild and relocate to sounder geographies, now is the time to design with a lighter carbon emission footprint, including sustainable building materials, renewable energy sources, locally grown healthy food and shorter commutes to places where we work and play.

Are we listening to and heeding the call to awake to a more natural way of living? We can each daily take steps that add up. As always, we hope you will find something in this month’s issue that inspires you to action toward a more clean and green, healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

eventbriefs Dallas Drug Take-Back

T

he Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership (DADPP) and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will collect unused and expired medicines to prevent pill abuse and theft from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., October 28. The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked. Last April, Americans turned in 450 tons of prescription drugs at almost 5,500 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.

Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

esearchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, followed 108,630 U.S. women enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Study between 2000 and 2008, comparing their mortality rates with the amount of vegetation around their homes.

The researchers also accounted for related risk factors such as age, socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, and smoking behaviors. They concluded that subjects living in the greenest areas had a 12 percent lower mortality rate than those living in the least lush areas during the study period.

leven counties in New York instituted restrictions on trans fatty acids in restaurants in 2007. Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine used data from the New York State Department of Health statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System and U.S. Census population estimates to determine the impact of these restrictions on the health of the community; they compared the 11 counties that had the restrictions to 25 counties without them. The scientists concluded that hospital heart attack admissions were significantly lower for the 11 counties with the restrictions.

Walking Reduces Symptoms of Dementia

A

study from the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, examined the impact of regular walking on people with vascular cognitive impairment, the second-most common form of dementia. The ailment occurs when blood vessels become damaged by cardiovascular disease, impeding good blood circulation and making the brain work harder.

The researchers scanned the brains and conducted computerized decision-making and attention tests on 38 people with mild, early forms of vascular cognitive impairment. Half of the subjects were asked to participate in supervised, one-hour walking sessions three times per week for a six-month period. The remaining subjects did not walk.

After six months, the walking group showed improvements in both blood pressure and brain function, with their brains requiring less effort during the decision-making and attention tests.

esveratrol is a natural substance found in grapes, peanuts, blueberries and other foods that’s known for its heart-protective nature. Researchers believe it may also help promote eye health, including prevention of glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration, but not much is known about its presence in the eyes. Scientists from Tongji Medical College, in China, set out to measure the concentration of trans-resveratrol in the eyes after oral supplementation.

Three daily doses of Longevinex, an oral trans-resveratrol-based capsule supplement, was administered to 35 adults prior to eye surgery on one of their eyes, and tissue samples of the conjunctiva, aqueous humor and vitreous humor were taken. Researchers measured the tissues for resveratrol concentration to determine how much of the supplement penetrated the eyes. Resveratrol metabolites were detected in the conjunctiva of 25 of the eyes, indicating that the beneficial substance does pass through the brain.

Vitamin D plus Calcium Lowers Cancer Risk

R

esearchers from the Creighton University School of Nursing, in Omaha, Nebraska, studied 2,303 healthy postmenopausal women to determine whether a link between vitamin D and cancer existed. The treatment group comprised 1,156 women receiving 2,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D3 and 1,500 milligrams of calcium per day for four years. The 1,147 women in the control group received placebos for the same duration.

Within the study timeframe, 64 women from the placebo group were diagnosed with some form of cancer, while only 49 subjects from the treatment group faced a cancer diagnosis. This represents a small, but significant reduction in the cancer rate for those taking vitamin D3. Further analyses of the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood revealed that the women that developed cancer had substantially lower levels of this vitamin than the subjects that remained healthy.

Resveratrol May Help Eye Health

Music Soothes Pain after Surgery

R

esearchers from the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, in New York City, studied the impact of music therapy on 60 patients that had undergone spinal fusion surgery.

Half received a 30-minute music therapy session, along with standard postoperative care, within 72 hours of surgery. The other half received only standard care.

The scientists used the visual analog scale to measure pain before and after music therapy in both groups concurrently. The patients receiving music therapy experienced average pain level reductions from 6.2 to 5.09, while the control group averaged slight increases in pain, from 5.2 to 5.87.

“The degree of change in the music group is notable for having been achieved by non-pharmacologic means, with little chance of adverse effects,” explains Center Director and study co-author Joanne Loewy. “Pain is subjective and personal, and warrants an individualized approach to care. Certified, licensed music therapists can tailor treatment to each patient’s musical preferences and address their pain level.”

The easiest way to save money on airfare is by being flexible, because flying on certain days at certain times can be more affordable. Shopping among airports and carriers can also yield dividends, perhaps leaving from one airport and returning to another or combining airlines based on the lowest available rates for legs of the trip. Off hours for flying are very early in the morning or late at night; keep looking for deals right up to the deadline.

Airlines send deals and special offers to those that sign up for email alerts. Stay updated on their social media platforms if they release special offers to online followers. To avoid incrementally increasing prices and falling victim to some packagers’ tactics of dynamic pricing and tracking computer searches, clear the browser’s cookies between searches.

Wildlife Wipeout

Wind Turbines Kill Winged Creatures Wind turbines make cleaner energy, but are dangerous to birds and bats. According to a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, approximately 573,000 birds and 888,000 bats are killed annually by wind turbines, which are providing increased wind power capacity nationwide. At one solar power plant in California, an estimated 3,500 birds died in just the plant’s first year of operation.

What would help most is offshore turbines and knowledge about migration routes. The safest place for wind turbines is in the ocean, because songbirds and bats don’t migrate over such waters. On land, many songbirds fly at night and can’t see the wind turbines until it’s too late. Once they’ve discovered the unsafe area, they avoid it. Because migration routes are based on availability of food, water and resting areas, birds are forced to fly around the turbines, adding miles to their trip and the burning of more calories.

Estimates of just how many bats are dying each year range from the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Radar installations help to keep bats away from the deadly blades. Other remedies include slowing the blades at night to reduce collisions, which has proved to reduce overall wildlife deaths by 73 percent.

In 2016 the American Wind Energy Association announced voluntary guidelines to halt turbines during low wind speeds, when bats are most active, to reduce bat fatalities by 30 percent. With two more industry changes, bat fatalities could drop 90 percent: feathering, or turning the blades parallel to the wind so the turbines don’t rotate; and higher cut-in speeds so they don’t rotate in light winds.

Eco Sneakers

Biodegradable Reeboks Help Solve Waste Problem Reebok is introducing a completely compostable sneaker designed to neither harm the environment when created nor potentially clog a landfill when discarded. The shoe’s upper section is made of sustainable organic cotton, while the sole is derived from industrially grown corn, harvested when it’s older and tougher. Even the eyelets are stitched, using no metal or plastic.

Fast Foodies

A collaborative study published in the journal Pediatrics concludes that toddlers under the age of 2 are more likely to eat French fries than vegetables on any given day; one in four 6-to-11-month-olds and one in five 1-year-olds consumed no vegetables at all.

This concerning downward trend began more than a decade ago.

The percentage of babies and toddlers eating canned or frozen fruits and vegetables declined by 10 percent between 2005 and 2012, and the consumption of dark, leafy greens among those under 2 has halved since 2005. Dr. Annemarie Stroustrup, an associate professor with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, in New York City, says, “You often have to offer a new food to a toddler up to 10 times before they will eat it.”

do we make sure that we’re thinking about the economics and creating jobs to move forward with renewables, housing and transportation-related issues? These are things that move our most vulnerable communities from surviving to thriving.

What can people do to help improve some of the most pressing issues?

We really have to get a handle on some of the fossil fuel pollution that’s harming people. One of the solutions is moving toward renewables, but it breaks down to cultures that also exist, so it’s important to honor the work that’s happened. I come from coal country, so it’s important to honor the hard work that miners did over the years and give them additional opportunities to find employment with wages similar or better than what they currently have. That also translates to those who work in the oil fields. We have to make sure we’re honoring that culture, and then moving forward in a way that’s beneficial to those workers and their families.

Are you optimistic about the direction environmental justice is heading?

I’m extremely optimistic. I see it play out every day. I’m not naïve to the challenges that exist because we currently have an administration that to date has not shown value when it comes to communities of color, low-income communities or indigenous populations. But on the flip side, I’m finally seeing people start to break down barriers and work together—the philanthropic community, the academic community, civil rights, social justice organizations and some business and industry—thinking more critically and moving toward addressing these issues, because we’re weakening our country when we don’t.

The seventh annual Dallas County Community College District Sustainability Summit begins at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 3, at Cedar Valley College, 3030 N. Dallas Ave., in Lancaster. For more information, visit DCCCD.edu. For information about Hip Hop Caucus, visit HipHopCaucus.org.

ture, and that hasn’t really changed.”

Spicer says. “We just have good infrastructure for development here in Texa, compared to other places. On the flip side, Florida has practically no wind farms because they don’t have the market or the wind that Texas has; it’s just where they’re geographically situated, and those market mechanisms don’t match up with what we have here.” Texas has a wholesale structure that allows wind developers to easily sell and deliver the electricity generated.

Some hurdles to the future of renewables could be the tax and investment credit phase-outs, as well as an upcoming trade case regarding solar panel imports into the.U.S. Petitioners Suniva, owned by Hong Kong-based Shunfeng International Clean Energy Ltd., along with German-based SolarWorld, both with subsidiaries in the U.S., seek to impose tariffs and a floor price on imported crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules. (Note: the Federal Trade Commission will take up the case September 22, after the October issue of Natural Awakenings Dallas has gone to press.)

Another impact is the potential demise of the Clean Power Plan, which if repealed, could affect some states, but Spicer is optimistic that Texas would not be greatly impacted, due to continued robust growth in wind and solar.

While we try to combat the future affects of natural disasters through resilient energy grids, compassion from individuals and businesses always shines through. Breeze Energy is taking measures to help those impacted by Harvey by waiving late fees, implementing deferred payment plans, donating to relief organizations in the Houston are, and directing its customer donations/company match energy assistance program funds toward hurricane relief, through the end of the year.

Assessing the Health of Our Breasts with Thermography

by Marta Cordell

O

ctober, Breast Health Month, in is a reminder of a crucially important issue, but we must have some way to know if our breasts are truly healthy. Breast tissue can be influenced by a number of different factors, and symptoms often reflect imbalances in other organs and systems of the body. For example, breast tissue is primarily lymphatic tissue, which is part of our immune system, as well as a contributor to our hormonal health. Knowing how the lymphatic system is functioning is important because the health of the lymphatic system is a major contributors to breast health. Thermography is one of the very few ways to evaluate lymphatic functioning.

Another contributing factor is dental health. Each of our teeth sits on one of our acupuncture meridians, and issues with teeth or the surround-

Taking temperature with Thermography wand ing gum tissue connected to meridians affecting the breasts are a very common underlying cause of a change in health.

Thermography is also one of the few ways we can evaluate the health of the gums and their related effect on breasts and other organs. All of our organs affect breast health. If the liver is overburdened or the digestive system is not functioning optimally, these imbalances can contribute to changes in the breasts, as well.

Whole-body regulation thermography is a painless, non-invasive and radiation-free technology that can help determine the overall health of the breasts and give great insight into those contributing factors. This means no more guesswork; you know which areas of the body need support and balance in order to positively influence breast health. In addition, regulation thermography can very often see changes in the tissues seven to 10 years before they become symptomatic, which could allow imbalances to be corrected before they lead to larger issues.

Whether using thermography or other diagnostic modalities, it is important to have a real understanding of our breast health. Regulation thermography is uniquely designed to fill the gaps left by many other diagnostic tools in our understanding of causative factors and can be a highly useful tool in our breast health toolbox.

Green Neighborhoods of North Texas Lakewood-Lower Greenville

A

pastoral, urban enclave of green elegance, Lakewood boasts genteel homes and sizeable trees on rolling slopes down to White Rock Lake. To its south is Junius Heights, a region of early 1900s homes enjoying a resurgence of urban hipness, and to the west is the almost as historical Lower Greenville, now an entertainment district of boutiques, bars and restaurants. At its heart is the Lakewood Shopping Center, identified by the signature neon tower of the former Lakewood Theater, an art deco delight.

Bountiful Green Nature

Lakewood fronts the quieter west side of White Rock Lake (dallasparks.org/235/ White-Rock-Lake). Long scenic West Lawther Drive and adjacent paved path trace the shoreline with excellent vistas and occasional benches. The trail connects on the northwest tip to the White Rock Creek Trail that leads

T

he citizens of Dallas have saved more than 376 billion gallons of water since 2001, but it’s always good to think about how to better use it efficiently. Here are some things to think about.

n Start by taking a look at the water bill and compare usage this month to the same month last year. This will give us an idea if we’re using more water than usual. Dallas uses a four-tiered rate structure, meaning the more water we use, the higher our rate. For example, for the first 4,000 gallons, we’re charged $1.90 per 1,000 gallons. But on the fourth tier, which is anything above 15,000 gallons, we’re charged $8.55 per 1,000 gallons.

That’s not counting the $5.31 per 1,000 gallons for waste water (sewer) treatment. We can take a closer look at the water rates at DallasCityHall.com/ departments/waterutilities and access the DWU calculator to estimate our monthly bill.

n Repair any leaks, because a onedrip-per-second leak can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. Check your toilet by adding a couple of drops

Water Conservation Tips of food coloring to your toilet tank. If after about 10 minutes, the water in the bowl changes color without having flushed, we need to replace a leaking flapper. Be sure to replace it with a flapper for the specific toilet model.

The wrong flapper may increase the gallons per flush. Visually check faucets and showerheads. Use WaterSense-labeled fixtures and appliances.

For example, washing dishes by hand can waste more than 5,000 gallons of water per year compared to washing a full load with an efficient dishwasher.

If we’re unable to locate a leak, but suspect one, check the water meter to make sure no water is running inside or outside the house. Check the leak indicator in the meter, and if it is running, there is a leak. The leak indicator is typically a small red triangle embedded in the face of the meter display. Or, call 214-651-1441 and a representative will come to check for leaks.

n Remember that we are limited to

twice weekly watering in Dallas (even numbered addresses, Sunday and Thursday; odd numbered, Saturday and Wednesday), but water only if the lawn needs it. If it has rained during the week, adjust watering accordingly.

Weekly watering advice is available at WaterIsAwesome.com/weeklywatering-advice. Operate an automatic sprinkler system on manual. Irrigation systems on automatic use up to 47 percent more water.

Request an irrigation system check-up, the city of Dallas provides the service free of charge. Request the service at SaveDallasWater.com/ rebates-and-incentives/irrigationcheck-ups.

Mulch around trees and plants, this helps retain moisture. When adding to the landscape, use droughttolerant native or adaptive plants.

TRANSFORMATIVE

TRAVEL Outer Adventures, Inner Journeys

by April Thompson

An open-hearted journey can take unexpected paths. More travelers today are searching for deep and lasting changes in their view of themselves and the world.

Declare Your Intentions

Part of the intention setting is clarifying what we hope to accomplish through making a journey, suggests Nathaniel Boyle, creator of The Travelers podcast and the travel platform Holocene that facilitates community among transformation-seeking travelers.

It might be climbing a mountain with our spouse to strengthen a marriage, or taking a cooking class in Italy or a basket weaving workshop in Indonesia to rekindle a sense of fresh input and creative expression.

Cousineau suggests that travelers prepare to open their thinking by reading about the history, culture and geography of a place, and then continue to learn en route by talking to locals for insight rather than relying only on a guidebook.

“Make yourself vulnerable. Ask questions and be humble. Talk to your waiter or cab driver about their lives and conditions in their country. Those that become most delighted and transformed by their experiences are the most curious,” observes Cousineau.

Anna Pollock, of London, England, founder of Conscious Travel and a sustainable travel expert, elaborates on potential results. “Travelers may see the world and their part in it differently or feel greater clarity, peace, freedom or hope. For some, it’s about insights into their personal purpose. Others may return with a deeper sense of connectedness or feeling of mastery that comes from trying something completely new.”

Jake Haupert, of Seattle, owner of Evergreen Escapes International, co-founded the Transformational Travel Council to help people embark on such life-altering journeys, and translate “Aha!” moments on the road into meaningful changes back home. He has witnessed individuals undergo radical shifts from changing careers to becoming parents.

One couple was so moved by their experiences on an African safari that they adopted their first child from Kenya.

Attention and intention are the main ingredients for transformative travel for Phil Cousineau, acclaimed author of The Art of Pilgrimage. “Ask yourself what is motivating the journey: Are you going just to check something off your bucket list because you read about it or are you going because your grandma told you how magical her visit there was in the 1920s? Are you going because you’re at a crossroads in your life, marriage or work?” queries Cousineau.

Naming your intention helps open up the heart and psyche for transformation. Cousineau recommends sharing our choice beforehand with a friend or even a casual acquaintance. Writing it down can also unpack those yearnings and understand the pull to a place.

unprepared, bored or disappointed,” remarks Cousineau. “But the flip side is that travels can stretch us, just like a medieval rack.”

If you have stretch goals, you can build them into an itinerary, advises Haupert, whether it’s getting up the courage to skydive or negotiating a purchase in a foreign street market.

Do Less, Experience More If we truly want to know the secret of soulful traveling, we need to believe there is something sacred waiting to be discovered in virtually every journey. ~Phil Cousineau

Move Beyond Comfort

“Travel can serve as a vehicle for expansive personal growth. Through it, we learn to explore the world and ourselves,” Boyle observes.

“When you venture outside the controlled environment of prepackaged trips for tourists to face difficult decisions and confusing and chaotic situations that require problem solving, that’s where real change can occur,” says Haupert.

“My 12,000-mile journey from Washington, D.C., to Antarctica was transformative in so many ways,” says journalist Andrew Evans, author of The Black Penguin memoir. “I’m a geographer by training and spent four years studying maps, but I never understood the true size of the world until I traveled across it on a Greyhound bus. I now see the world as much smaller and much more accessible. The trip made me a stronger, more confident person, and less afraid of what other people think of me; it also made me want to keep traveling.”

“Travel comes from the word travail, to labor, and trip from tripalium, Latin for a medieval torture rack. Metaphorically, travel can feel like torture at times, and some travelers feel unhappy,

To heighten experiential awareness while traveling, build fewer to-dos into an itinerary, the experts recommend.

“Immerse yourself in a place. Leave time for unplanned explorations, rather than bouncing between destinations without space for spontaneity and restful reflection,” says Haupert. “Also build in time for meditation, yoga, simple relaxation or other intentionally restorative moments in-between the high-intensity peak experiences.”

Haupert suggests staging a ceremonial start to a journey, such as a special dinner or bike ride upon arrival. Similarly, Cousineau recommends starting a new journal on every journey, to ceremoniously start anew in one’s thinking.

Engaging in ritual can also help awaken the traveler, says Cousineau.

He suggests walking in silence as we approach a sacred site, or physically engaging with it, as pilgrims might do when they palm the feet of a Buddha statue or press their forehead to the Wailing Wall.

Sacred sites are fertile ground for transformative experiences, says Lori Erickson, an Episcopal deacon, travel writer and author of Holy Rover: Journeys in Search of Mystery, Miracles, and God, a memoir of her trips to a dozen of the world’s holy sites. “So many people have prayed and opened their hearts in a holy place that you can feel the energy,” she says.

Erickson suggests that travelers seek out hallowed ground from different traditions, which can help heal divides among people of divergent faiths. “The art and architecture of holy sites are beautiful manifestations of spiritual longing and human creativity. These places have the power to move you, regardless of your own spiritual background.”

When you give while traveling, you often get back even more, says Cousineau. “A pilgrim never travels empty-handed. Bring gifts; even postcards from home can make a meaningful connection.” He recently brought baseball equipment along on a group tour he led to give to kids in baseball-crazed Cuba. Giving appreciation is as important as tangible mementos, he notes. “Gratitude makes transformation possible; that’s what modern people are longing for, to be touched.”

Boyle suggests that finding ways to give back can unlock unique opportunities. Quinn Vanderberg and Jonathon Button, guests on Boyle’s podcast, left stable lives and jobs in California for Nicaragua in 2012 with only their travel bags and a shared dream. Brainstorming a vision for a new life together, the 25-year-old pair had realized, “We wanted life to be filled with travel, culture and people, and to make an impact along the way,” says Vanderburg. “We went knowing we wanted to create a social venture,

but first wanted to see what was really needed by the community.”

They went on to partner with local educational nonprofits and artisans to launch Life Out of the Box, a line of clothing and accessories modeled after Toms’ “Buy one, give one” business model. For every product sold, the entrepreneurs donate school supplies to a child in need. Since 2012, the project has expanded to also support kids in Guatemala, Kenya, Mexico and Morocco.

Drive Home Transformation

Starting with a moment of reflection before departing a place, take advantage of a trip’s afterglow to recall insights learned, gel memories, share insights and move to make changes stick. Haupert sees this as a good time to develop an action plan to “express gratitude for the journey and create a framework for your homecoming.”

Then, take a day to reflect upon returning home before jumping back into work or other obligations, internalizing your experience and integrating

Lasting Travel Gifts

your “traveler self” back into normalcy.

It might involve a trip to the spa, an afternoon of journaling or organizing trip photos, suggests Haupert.

“Resist the urge to check emails the minute the plane touches down or start planning the next trip. Take time to remember the journey and see your home turf with fresh eyes,” adds Cousineau.

The returned pilgrim has a responsibility to memorialize the journey, an ancient tradition of Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, advises Cousineau.

The San Francisco writer traveled with a group on foot from Louisville, Kentucky, to Thomas Merton’s Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, near Bardstown, Kentucky, to celebrate the legacy of Merton and Mahatma Gandhi. One of the women inked a footprint from each of 100-plus travelers, sewing them into a quilt to commemorate the pilgrimage.

Chronicling the journey can be as simple as a dinner party with friends to share what we have learned, says Cousineau, but suggests that travelers engage attendees to also contribute their own stories and reflections.

“We have a choice upon returning; do nothing and just let that experience fade or own it for ourselves,” concurs Boyle. “It’s incumbent to extract the meaning of our experiences and find a way to express them, whether through a photo series, article, painting or video. The traveler’s ‘third act’ of creativity after preparation and execution is how we process change.”

Choosing a Chiropractor How to Find the Best One

by Marlaina Donato

C

hiropractic medicine is known for its non-surgical approach to chronic pain and other musculoskeletal conditions, but also has much more to offer. However, finding the right doctor can be as daunting as shopping for a comfortable pair of shoes. Here, three reputable practitioners talk about securing individualized care and getting the most out of chiropractic.

Address Specific Needs

Clarifying the desired outcome is helpful, because some clients are just looking for a quick fix to reduce pain, while others may be seeking overall better health, lasting wellness and an improved quality of life.

“Due to insurance issues, we’ve become known as pain doctors, but that’s not the full extent of chiropractic,” explains Dr. Michelle Robin, owner of Your Wellness Connection and the educational DrMichelleRobin.com website, in Shawnee, Kansas. “Also, you can see more than one chiropractor, as each has their own strength.”

Dr. Michael Aho, of Crosstown Chiropractic, in Chicago, agrees.

“Chiropractic care encompasses many

styles, so one of the biggest variables is the type of treatment the doctor uses. Most offices commonly treat neck, mid-back and low back pain.

If you have a specific shoulder, knee or foot problem, you may want to find a doctor that frequently treats those issues. If you are pregnant, choose a chiropractor that has experience working with pregnant women.”

“There are more than 140 different chiropractic techniques. Some are light touch, while others are aggressive. Some are hands-on and some use instruments for adjusting. It’s important that the doctor’s approach resonates with your nature,” advises Dr. Jackie St.Cyr of the Innate Chiropractic Healing Arts Center, in Houston.

Robin advises that sitting in a doctor’s reception room to just observe and trusting our intuition is helpful before moving forward with a consultation.

Ask Questions

First, find out if a chiropractor has embraced either a conventional medical or holistic model, and then delve more deeply to find the right approach and level of care. “Ask how long a doctor

has practiced and their governing philosophy. Do they treat the full spine or focus on the point of pain, and what range of techniques do they apply? You want them to know your spine before they adjust it; make sure they conduct a new patient exam,” suggests St.Cyr. An exam may include a thermography scan and X-rays.

Helpful questions include what to expect during the initial visit, recommended frequency of treatment, the desired doctor’s office hours and how treatment might benefit a particular condition. Because most chiropractic offices offer compatible treatments, also ask about complementary modalities such as acupuncture, massage therapy, heat therapy, and interferential current therapy using minute electrical pulses for deep tissue pain relief.

Be Consistent

“You shouldn’t expect instant results,” says Aho. “You’ll benefit the most if you don’t wait too long after first experiencing symptoms of a problem before starting treatment, and are consistent with your treatment.” Being proactive can foster good results.

St.Cyr concurs, stating, “When patients follow their chiropractor’s recommended routine of regular corrective care, they get the best results.

Be consistent with visits and do your customized spinal exercises; they’ve been proven to work.”

Robin expounds that not following through with homecare is a common pitfall for patients. “Like dental care, you always need to do something for your spine every day, be it stretching, other exercise or good nutrition.”

She notes that everyone’s response to chiropractic is different. “Be realistic. If you’ve experienced injuries or accidents, it will take longer, and your healing might look different from that of someone else that is free of injuries and follows a healthier diet. Sometimes people give up on chiropractic instead of finding a chiropractor that is good for them. You wouldn’t give up going to the dentist, and the same should apply to chiropractic care.”

Chiropractic Should Be Part of an Overall Health Plan

I

by Dr. Fred Zuker

t doesn’t take long to find health carerelated references in today’s media identifying modern challenges people face with issues such as health insurance the opioid epidemic, obesity and other chronic conditions. Everyone is seemingly concerned about the rising cost of health care and the need for greater predictability as to the outcome of various treatments.

One health care discipline that transcends much of the disquieting talk about health care is chiropractic care.

Doctors of chiropractic are healthcare professionals that concentrate on the care and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with particular attention to the care and treatment of the spine. Chiropractors care for patients that have concerns about back and neck pain, headaches and pain in the joints and the extremities.

Chiropractors begin by diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, and then rendering treatment that may help people feel better, but the true value of the service is the functional outcomes that are often achieved such as improved mobility, stability and performance in activities essential for daily life.

Patient satisfaction with chiropractic care is consistently among the highest of all the health professions, reaching into the 90th percentile. Approximately 35 million American adults receive chiropractic care each year and rate their treatment as “very effective”, and that the quality of care was a “good value for the money.” These results were derived from evaluating patient experiences across the age and condition spectrum.

Those that have not tried chiropractic care may find a chiropractor in nearby

and visit the office to see firsthand what chiropractic has to offer. The chiropractor will explain the basic tenets of this conservative approach to health care that recognizes the basic ability of the human body to maintain healthy equilibrium and positive response to the environment. The chiropractor will explain the examination, report of findings and recommendations for treatment that are part of the chiropractic approach.

Chiropractors utilize specific procedures in examination; manual techniques such as adjustments, manipulations and soft tissue releases; therapeutic modalities and exercise; and counseling services for topics including nutrition, exercise, stress management, restorative sleep and supporting good posture.

Chiropractors are also well-trained to determine when a patient needs to be referred to another caregiver.

Now is the time to add chiropractic to an overall wellness health plan and join the millions of Americans that include chiropractors in their personal team of healthcare providers to add a non-invasive, drug-free approach to optimized healthy living.

Fermented Foods Revival Rediscover Probiotic-Rich Foods

This Woodbury, Tennessee, writer who travels the world giving related workshops is credited with bringing fermented foods back into the limelight. He explains, “I am self-taught and learned to ferment by experimentation. It was that first successful batch of sauerkraut that sparked my obsession. I also love eating cheese, beer, chocolate, coffee, yogurt and many other products of fermentation.”

Kirsten and Christopher Shockey, the authors of Fermented Vegetables: Creative Recipes for Fermenting 64 Vegetables & Herbs in Krauts, Kimchis, Brined Pickles, Chutneys, Relishes & Pastes, homestead in Oregon’s Jackson Valley. “A fateful Christmas gift—a ceramic crock full of bubbling, fermenting cabbage under the tree, funky fermenty smell and all,” first piqued their interest, Kirsten recalls. “Eventually, we started our own small farmstead fermentation company.” Christopher explains that the combination of salt and shredded or chopped vegetables can launch the production of probiotic

lactic acid bacteria that preserves the food and drives off “bad bacteria”.

Jennifer McGruther, who lives in the Pacific Northwest, is the author of The Nourished Kitchen cookbook, an offshoot of her blog of the same name. Her first batch of fermented food was yogurt. Now she visits her local farmers’ market every Saturday before spending Sunday prepping foods for the rest of the week. “Traditional foods like fermented vegetables, yogurt or kombucha don’t take long to prepare; they take time to culture, but it’s so rewarding,” she says.

How Much Is Enough?

Fermented foods offer a variety of positive effects on health. “If you’re consuming a diet rich in fermented foods, you’re essentially bathing your GI tract in healthy, food-related organisms,” says food research scientist Robert Hutkins, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Fermented foods with live probiotics can also improve brain function, according to a study in the journal Gastroenterology.

Fermented foods are meant to be eaten as condiments, not consumed in large quantities. Overdoing such intake might cause bloating, cramping and other digestion problems. Dr. Leonard Smith, a gastrointestinal and vascular surgeon and medical advisor for the University of Miami Department of Integrative Medicine, recommends “a half-cup of cultured vegetables or two ounces of your favorite probiotic liquid per day to start.” He says it’s possible to eventually work up to having a serving of cultured vegetables and probiotic liquids at every meal, or possibly as a between-meal snack.

Christopher Shockey adds, “We don’t see these foods as a ‘medicine’ to be eaten daily because you have to force yourself; instead, we see it as a fun, delicious, easy, healthful addition to mealtime.”

Confessions of a Biological Dentist “Ok, I admit it. When I came out of dental school I was trained and thought like every other dentist. I did root canals, mercury containing ‘silver fillings’, fluoride treatments, a lot of things I wouldn’t touch now.”

Thus began an interview with Dr. Daniel Strader. “I first became envolved with Biological Dentistry back in 1984 when my 97 year old patient said she needed drive downtown and go back to work at the World Trade Center in Dallas.”

Dr. Strader said. “I realized was different than most as she had no ‘silver’ fillings, and I decided to never place another amalgam filling that would contain 50% toxic mercury. This was only the beginning, as in 1986 I began my mentorship with Dr. Hal Huggins, and later became Accredited by the IAOMT and Certified by the IABDM biological dentistry organizations as well as becomming a Fellow in the American Association of Integrative Medicine.” Dr. Strader went on to say, “I have spoken before the FDA against amalgam (mercury) fillings and before the Dallas City Council to request the end of fluoridation of the municipal water supply.

But my greatest satisfaction comes from the testimonials of the patients I have helped regain their health and their smiles. My goals are to help my patients as well as their teeth to look better, feel better, and last longer.”
