Herniated Discs. Pinched Nerves. Agonizing Pain.

Two Local Doctors Offer You Hope

“T

he surgeon told me they were going to cut into my throat from the front and around my voice box to get to the herniated discs to relieve my neck pain,” Renee Mattio remembers.

After suffering with constant pain for nearly a year, she considered neck surgery as her only last resort. The operation was designed to relieve pinched nerves caused by a rear-end collision on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge that herniated the fourth and fifth discs in her neck.

“They asked me to sign a waiver that basically said, if I die, it’s not their fault,” she adds. ”This was the basic waiver everyone signs for surgery, but it was more about the voicebox impact that scared me. It was a turning point for me.” But, Renee seemed out of options, saying “I can’t live with this pain any longer!”

For a solid year after the collision, she tried a range of treatments to relieve the constant, excruciating pain that affected every aspect of her life. Physical therapy, pain medications and steroid

A Real Pain In The Neck To Men As Well

prescriptions and injections provided little to no relief.

“The injections felt like they were inserting a sword down my back under the skin,” she says. “They were only a band-aid for the pain and inflammation, and I ballooned up to 170 pounds from 125 from taking the prescribed steroids.”

Unfortunately, Renee isn’t alone in suffering chronic neck and radiating arm pain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 60 percent of people in the general population suffer from varying degrees of neck pain. The prevalence of neck pain peaks at middle age, and women are more often affected than men.

One of those men is Kevin Whalin. Like Renee Mattio, he had serious, agonizing neck and arm pain that extended down to his left elbow and hand. Over a two-year period that Kevin calls his “neck-pain journey,” he had MRIs, Cat Scans and sought help from his primary care physician, physical therapists, pain management doctors. He had two epidurals, which are injections of anesthesia into the spine, but nothing provided lasting relief, so he finally agreed to consult with a neurosurgeon.

The surgeon recommended a procedure that would insert a steel plate between Kevin’s fifth and sixth herniated discs to spread them apart, relieve the pinched nerves and “hopefully” alleviate his pain.

“The surgeon said it would be a 50-50 chance to take away my pain,” Kevin says. He initially agreed so the surgeon booked the operation in a month’s time. Kevin was dreading the date, as he really didn’t want to take the risk of having surgery. “I was told that

I would be out of work for at least six weeks recovering, something that I just couldn’t see happening, but what other options did I have?” he asks.

Kevin had used traditional chiropractic treatments in the past, but he didn’t want his neck cracked and twisted like that now. Oftentimes, when people are having difficulty finding a cure for what ails them, friends and relatives offer advice and recommendations.

This, too, was the case with Kevin and Renee.

Renee was about to resign herself to suffering in pain for the rest of her life when her mother-in-law told her about a unique, non-invasive treatment that helped relieve her pain after she had two back surgeries.

Kevin’s brother told him about a truck driver who had the same treatment, also with great success.

The Sound of Success It’s Percussion Sound Wave treatment. A revolutionary, painless adjustment that provides lasting relief from acute and chronic pain. The treatment is very precise. If it’s determined that there is a misalignment causing your current condition, highly specific x-rays of the upper cervical (neck) spine are taken to measure misalignments down to 1/100th of a degree. A computer analysis of these x-rays provides the most accurate assessment of the

Drs. Joshua and John Sandoz spinal misalignment.

Gentle percussion sound waves ease the spine back into place and restore body balance, thus relieving pain. There is no manual manipulation, no twisting or cracking of the neck.

The headquarters for this treatment is in Mount Laurel

at the Sandoz Chiropractic Center, led by Dr. John and Dr. Joshua Sandoz. They treated both Renee and Kevin with the percussion sound wave treatment.

“All I can tell you is that it works,” Kevin says. “I went twice a week for three weeks.

Remember, I had only a month

before my surgery date. After the treatments, I have no pain whatsoever. If sharing my story helps one person, it’s worth it.”

Renee also experienced a miraculous outcome. Dr. Sandoz took x-rays of her head and neck, calculated the misalignment and then consulted with Renee about his findings and how he was going to treat her. In addition to the sound wave treatment, Dr. Sandoz performed laser light therapy to further reduce inflammation and pain, and promote faster healing to Renee’s nerve pain.

“It’s incredible,” she says. “I have no pain, no stiffness. Dr. Sandoz says he’s not a miracle worker, but he walks on water as far as I’m concerned.”

Dr. Sandoz says, “If neck pain isn’t treated effectively, it can affect other joints in the body as it did in Renee’s and Kevin’s. The body starts to compensate, making things worse. That can lead to a multitude of structural joint problems in other regions of the body.”

For neck pain sufferers who believe they have tried every option, find out if this sound wave treatment can save you as it saved Renee and Kevin from lifetimes of pain.

atural Beauty is one of our primary themes this month as we explore the increasing production of cleaner, safer and natural cosmetics. It is so refreshing to see another industry responding to the growing consumer demand for organic products. It is equally refreshing to know that our consumer voices are being heard. What used to be a fringe minority of green/organic consumers has now become a collective that is clearly beginning to influence billiondollar industries.

Use Vedic Mantra Chanting to Activate Ancient Connections

R

ita Strough, owner of Just Breathe Spiritual Community Center, is offering Shalini Breault Vedic mantra classes at her Berlin studio, starting with a basic Session 1 series being offered in June and July, and a Session 2 series starting in August. Students will receive a booklet and MP3 recordings to practice outside of class.

Strough notes, “Ever since learning and practicing Vedic mantras, my life has changed in stunning ways.”

Rita Strough She continues, “What once was invisible to me became visible, most notable, the ways in which I myself had been the cause of my most persistent and unsolvable problems.”

Vedic mantra chants are Sanskrit prayers recited according to proper pronunciation and rhythm in a traditional style that has been handed down since ancient times. The mantras, once learned and practiced, connect people to an energy that is transformative.

This ancient practice has been credited with dramatically improving lives. In its own way, it became automatic and links us to the power and energy of deities long worshipped for their benevolence and strength.

SunGlow Chakras Specializes in Healing Stones

S

unGlow Chakras specializes in crystals, semi-precious stones and chakra crystals, all of which may stimulate, relax and fortify energy centers while enhancing overall health and well-being.

In Western cultures, stones considered to be precious include rubies, diamonds, sapphires and emeralds.

All other stones, such as high-quality Tsavorite, are considered semi-precious, and are sometimes worth more on the market than a lower quality sapphire. Semi-precious stones that are used in jewelry are called gems, and are studied, classified, cut, shined and mounted by gemologists. A gem is classified by such physical and chemical properties including the arrangement of its elements, degree of hardness, refractive index, luster and other physical factors. Some gems, due to their crystalline structure, are referred to as crystals.

Throughout history, many civilizations have believed that gemstones and crystals vibrate in resonant energies that help those in their quest for health and healing. It is thought that these gemstones and crystals facilitate the free flow of energy through the body, thereby ensuring overall health and well-being.

Originating in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainism cultures, chakras are believed to be crucial centers of energy in our bodies. Physical, emotional and spiritual health are believed to be achieved by the proper flow of energy through these centers. It is believed that the seven major chakras (crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras) can all be enhanced, stimulated and stabilized by the use of various crystals and gemstones, all of which correspond to the energies of the seven major and 21 minor chakra centers.

SunGlow’s aromatherapy jewelry designs are often combined with these semi-precious stones, adding to the stimulation of brain pleasure and serenity centers induced by smells. Whether their designs represent one’s quest for healing or just like the look and fashion of the piece, there is something for everyone.

Kangen Water Offers an Alternative to Bottled Water

A

ccording to the National Geographic Society, bottled water is detrimental to our environment.

The United States goes through roughly 50 billion water bottles a year and most of those plastic containers are not recycled. Transporting these plastic bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases. About 1,500 plastic bottles are consumed every second. Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times and it is estimated that it would take 1,000 years for plastic to degrade. Contrary to popular belief, bottled water is not proven to be any safer than tap water. The nonprofit, non-partisan Environmental Working Group (EWG) notes, “The government does not mandate that bottled water be any safer than tap water. In fact, the chemical pollution standards are nearly identical.” Bottled waters have even been recalled due to contamination with particulate matter, mold and bacteria.

Kangen Water, an antioxidant-rich, healthy water that revitalizes cells, is a healthy alternative to both tap and bottled water.

How to Decrease the Risk of Low Bone Density

People that Don’t Slight Sleep Eat Better

As with many health issues, prevention is key for bone health.

According to Dr. Julia Snyder, a board-certified doctor in family medicine, holistic and integrative medicine, bone density peaks around age 30 and, after that, steadily increases with age. However, it is never too late to start with healthy changes.

Maintaining good bone health can decrease the rate of bone loss and maintain the quality of Dr. Julia Snyder your bones.

Bone density starts in the womb. Mom’s calcium and vitamin D levels influence bone density later in life, as does breastfeeding. During childhood and young adulthood, building a “bone bank” through adequate nutrition and weight-bearing exercise is key to developing maximum peak bone density.

Nutrition plays a big role in this process. Calcium is often the first thing people think about and even though it is important, it can be overdone. Too much calcium, especially if it is not balanced with magnesium and vitamin K, can build up on artery walls. Don’t just rely on dairy for calcium, try incorporating onions, broccoli, lettuce, pomegranates and citrus as well.

Too much of certain things can have a negative impact on bone health. Try to limit yourself to one alcoholic drink per day, minimize caffeine (except for tea), don’t take more than 3,000 iu of vitamin A, and limit animal protein intake. In addition, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit as a high vegetable-to-animaldiet ratio seems to be protective against bone loss.

Make sure to also get an adequate amount of vitamin D, as it helps your body absorb calcium properly.

Living in the northeast, we are often unable to make enough through natural sunlight. Vitamin K, an important balance with calcium, is required for the activation of the hormone that tells our body to build bone.

Those that sleep more than seven hours a night are likely to eat better the following day, according to researchers from King’s College London. In the study, 21 people known to typically sleep fewer than seven hours increased their sleep time by 47 minutes after receiving tips on sleep hygiene such as drinking less caffeine and going to bed neither too hungry nor too full. The following day, they consumed almost 10 fewer grams of sugar in food and drinks on average and also consumed less fat and fewer carbohydrates than a control group.

Exercise Boosts Good Gut Bacteria Cardiovascular exercise improves a person’s healthy gut microbes even without making dietary changes, University of Illinois researchers report. In a study of 32 people, 30 to 60 minutes of exercise three times a week for six weeks boosted levels of healthy intestinal bacteria, especially for lean subjects, and less so for the obese. The healthy bacteria produced short-chain fatty acids that reduce the risk of colon cancer.

“The bottom line is that there are clear differences in how the microbiome of somebody who is obese versus somebody who is lean responds to exercise,” says Jeffrey Woods, Ph.D., a kinesiology professor at the university.

Simple Eco-Houses on the Upswing

A new Ukrainian homebuilding startup called Passivdom uses a 3-D printing robot to produce parts for tiny houses.

The machine can print the walls, roof and floor of the company’s 380-square-foot model in about eight hours.

The windows, doors and self-contained plumbing, sewage and self-electrical systems are then added by a human worker. Solar energy is stored in a battery.

Filtered water collects from humidity in the air. Prices start at $64,000 per house (Passivedom).

M.A.DI., in Italy, produces prefabricated A-frame houses in five sizes that can be set up anywhere. The basic model is rated an energy class B, but can be upgraded with an option of adding solar panels to make the structures energy-independent.

Homes made by Lifehaus blend low-cost, off-grid appeal with holistic living and luxurious details. The Lebanon company is pioneering energy-neutral dwellings made from locally sourced and recycled materials. Green home dwellers will also be able to generate electricity and grow their own food.

At the North American Climate Summit in Chicago last December, more than 50 mayors from around the globe signed the Chicago Climate Charter, intended to guide cities toward reaching greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals similar to the Paris climate accord. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says each mayor will pursue a customized plan, noting, “We’re all going to get to the same destination in our own way.” President Trump’s intended exit from the Paris agreement has sparked an uproar from leaders worldwide, especially mayors in cities long committed to reducing emissions.

Dozens of cities are committed to 100 percent clean and renewable energy goals and pledged to promote clean transit through using zero-emissions buses. Emanuel believes, “Climate change can be solved by human action.” Cities’ actions now may well pay off in the long run.

Deadly Cargo Oil Spill Threatens Ocean Ecology

Experts are warning that the Iranian tanker Sanchi oil spill in January in the East China Sea could potentially be one of the worst in decades. Scientists from the UK National Oceanography Centre and the University of Southampton are monitoring the disaster, believing it could 18

severely impact important reefs, fishing grounds and protected marine areas in Japan. They are also concerned by the toxic nature of the ultra-light, highly flammable oil and unknown impacts. Simon Boxall, with the centre, notes, “It’s not like crude, which does break down under natural microbial action. This stuff actually kills the microbes that break the oil down.”

Cincinnati has contracted with the energy company Dynegy to purchase 100 percent renewable energy to operate most of its municipal facilities through at least 2021.

The green energy will power police and fire stations, health clinics, recreation centers and most administrative buildings, including city hall.

The city’s greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by more than 9 percent and its utility rates by more than $100,000 annually. The deal will bring the city closer to its goal of running on 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies MEET THE STAFF

T

he Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies, in Camden, invites you to get to know their staff and their school. Lourdes offers individual classes, as well as a comprehensive, spirituality-based certification degree program. Subjects offered include Wholistic Massage Practitioner, 200- and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, Reflexology, Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy.

Monica DeVaughn-Nobling

DeVaughn-Nobling believes that it’s the camaraderie among students and teachers that makes Lourdes such a unique place to study. Graduate students are allowed to sit in on classes anytime as a refresher.

“The instructors continue to be an integral part of my life, my practice and the lives of my clients. The level of support they’ve extended is truly overwhelming. My clients express to me that they are thankful for those who have taught me because it makes a difference in my care for them. That is a powerful thing to hear.”

Another great aspect of studying at Lourdes, she says, is that students are encouraged to learn at a pace that is comfortable for them, and not stress-inducing.

“Our students and instructors come from many career and life backgrounds, and span all ages. Everyone is welcome. Come and experience how fulfilling learning together can be.”

Her main course is Business Management, but she also teaches various massage courses.

you can take an active part in your future health and wellness. Reach out to holistic practitioners. Commit to giving something new a try. Take part in finding a solution for yourself.”

Finley is the clinic coordinator and teaches various massage courses.

Corinne Corcoran

“Dottie” Atkins states that we have a crisis in America: an addiction to pain medication. She attests that our conventional health care is a symptom-relief medical business model, and that the healthcare system provides minimal discussions about health, wellness and self-care. She believes it doesn’t need to be this way and this is what the Lourdes Institute drives to change.

“Lourdes is always looking for people who want to learn how to heal in a natural way,” she shares. “Often people retire from a job looking for a second career, or perhaps a person’s job downsized and they are in search of a new career. This profession is open to anyone who wants to lend a hand, use their hands, and provide a hands-on approach to health care.”

Atkins teaches various massage courses, including Self-Massage.

Corcoran is committed to bring the wisdom of the Eastern healing systems to the West. “They offer non-invasive and natural approaches to healing, which can complement allopathic approaches, or be an alternative for those who cannot tolerate the side-effects of modern Western treatments,” she shares.

“We need to appreciate our innate force that can be tapped into for reorganizing, strengthening, and healing the body and mind.” She affirms that many holistic modalities have succeeded at keeping her both present and vital for the demands of the world and its challenges. So has she been wowed and motivated by the research that validates reflexology’s beneficial effects on pain, immunity, the nervous system, and chemical imbalances.

She is the main Reflexology instructor, and she also teaches Ethics, and various massage courses.

Andrea Finley

David Egan

Dr. Dorothea Atkins

“My proudest moment was when the dean of our program told me that this is what my hands were always destined to do be doing,” Finley shares. “His constant support and guidance gave me the courage to trust my instincts and embrace my natural abilities. He was the very first person to call me a healer.”

When asked about the number one health problem she encounters, she certifies that it is stress. “Stress levels are out of control,” she says. “Our bodies were not built to sustain the level of stress hormone that’s released in the average human on a daily basis. There is no cure for life, but

NASouthJersey.com

Egan is ambitious—he wants to be a part of the best school in the country, and he believes that Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies is just that. “We all take great pride in what we do,” he proclaims. “We are not just teachers. We are testing and improving every day when we work with our personal clients, and we all bring that back to our classrooms. We make our students better by continuing to learn ourselves and becoming the best at what we do.”

His favorite moments are when a student suddenly gets a concept, like a light bulb going off. “I live for those moments,” he shares. Egan’s main course is Environmental Management, but he also teaches various massage courses.

Michelle Carlino

Carlino believes her most important health advice is to “value bodies as a sacred dwelling, and to learn how to care for it well.” In her work, she finds that most ailments are stress related and the challenge of daily life is the major cause. “Hardly anyone knows how to manage stress, and that’s a big part of the problem.” She corroborates that there are many healing modalities taught at Lourdes Institute that can help to heal the body and mind in a natural way, and invites readers to come to an Open Day at Lourdes to explore these alternative methods.

She teaches various courses in the Yoga Teacher Training 200- and 300-hour programs.

Live More Effectively: In-Home Assistance for Everyone

by Giulia Eve Flores

“E

veryone knows what it’s like to be overwhelmed by the demands of home life and work pressure,” Lisa Ciquero, founder of Personally Yours, proclaims. “If our household is disorderly, we find that, quickly, our whole life is spun out of control. Stress levels rise by cumbersome to-do lists that never seem to get done. Whether it is an overtired new mother who never gets a moment to herself, a middle-aged career woman with teenagers who simultaneously runs her parents’ household or an older adult wanting to maintain dignity and the lifestyle they love, everyone needs a helping hand sometimes.”

Personally Yours extends this helping hand by offering in-home support and lifestyle management services to restore balance, organization and harmony at home. It is for individuals of all ages and stages of life that have more to do than there are hours in the day. “Delegate a few of your duties to us,” she invites. “Give us your to-do list, so you don’t have to worry about the daily grind and responsibility of household tasks and so you can do what absolutely matters to you.”

Ciquero believes that structure, organization and routine make a huge difference—to the household, and therefore, to the psyche. “If your surroundings are in chaos, then your mental state is most likely going to be chaotic.

Personally Yours brings clarity to chaos. If a home is clean and tidy and all the tasks of the day are checked off, it gives one a peace of mind and gratification that are priceless,” she certifies.

22

South Jersey Edition

The services Personally Yours provides are unique because the company focuses on the person as a whole: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. In their words, they “don’t just do your shopping”. Moreover, they offer lifestyle help, not just to people with physical needs, but to anyone who could use assistance at home. Their mission is to enable each person to continue with the lifestyle that makes them happy.

“The need is out there,” she affirms.

“The sky is the limit with what people need assistance with. Whatever it is, we can make it happen.” The services Personally Yours offers are as wide-ranging and spe-

cific as the people who employ their help.

From child-proofing a house, to help planning a party, keeping records, preparing a meal, paying bills, rearranging your closet for the season, watching your children so you can do yoga or running errands so you can sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with your parents—the possibilities are endless.

She proposes: “Think of it like this: If you are an older adult and you love to paint, we can bring you all the material you need so you can continue with your passion while we tidy up the house and prepare lunch.”

Ciquero expresses that the biggest problem she comes across with her clients is that they have too much stress and not enough time. She emphasizes, moreover, that most women, who are often the main caretakers, feel very resistant about asking for help. It makes them feel incapable. She explains: “Women often carry the biggest toll. It is time for it to be okay to ask for help. It doesn’t mean that you can’t handle life. It just means that you are making yourself a priority, investing in self-care and choosing to slow everything down in order to be more mindful and present in everything you do. We need to do something for ourselves. When we get sick or overworked, everyone else suffers. It is not about saying ‘me first’, it’s about saying ‘me too’.”

Personally Yours has an exceptional reputation in the community and has been changing, simplifying and enhancing lives since 1999. Ciquero emphasizes she couldn’t ask for a better staff and refers to her employees as “incredibly dedicated and compassionate ‘Jill’s of All Trades’ who know how to run a household.”

She attests that they make a great impact and often become friends with their clients. “When you can share a difficult time with someone who is assisting you, and they are able to bring clarity and help navigate the chaos, it makes the situation less heightened. It takes the edge off and allows for positive outcomes.”

Personally Yours upholds high standards of excellence in terms of care and support and believes that anyone can benefit from in home support services.

Lastly, she advises: “Take a moment to analyze your life and to ask yourself what is preventing you from achieving happiness and inner peace. Is it an area we can assist with? How can we benefit your life? Don’t sweat the little things anymore. Let us take care of those. Incorporate someone assisting you so you can live more happily and effectively.”

Healthful Benefits of POD Sessions

U

tilizing the many benefits of infrared technology along with several other beneficial healing modalities, the POD is a great solution to today’s hectic and stressful lifestyle.

Far infrared heat (FIR) is a form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion known as DLC. All life requires FIR heat from the sun.

FIR heat produces the same useful energy as the sun without the harmful ultraviolet rays of electromagnetic field radiation. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation, but a narrow band of energy that penetrates 1.5 to 2 inches deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. It warms your body from the inside out, stimulates the immune system and eliminates waste material through skin pores via sweating and promotes blood circulation. The deep heat of the POD helps peripheral blood vessels to dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles spending healing time.

One session in the POD incorporates FIR heat, vibratory massage, oxygen therapy, aromatherapy and music therapy.

During this session, your body will go through detoxification, in which increased blood circulation stimulates sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste.

NASouthJersey.com

The lymphatic massage allows one to lie comfortably in the POD while FIR helps loosen and relax muscles in conjunction with a vibratory massage of the upper and lower body. Oxygen therapy is when oxygen freely flows through the POD chamber where it mixes with the FIR to enhance its effectiveness.

Oxygen serves to temporarily increase the body’s white blood cell count. As white blood cells are the natural antagonist of toxins and infection, the oxygen serves to enhance the immune system by boosting cellular immunity as well as further detoxifying the body.

Aromatherapy is a form of healing that utilizes the properties and aromas of essential plant oils that reach the brain in less than two seconds. These aromas are also absorbed through the skin pores.

Lastly, the POD is equipped with an amazing sound system for music therapy, which enables one to play favorite music, listen to a guided mediation or pick something from an extensive mind-expanding collection.

All-Natural Beauty

Health Concerns Revolutionize the Cosmetics Industry

F

by Marlaina Donato

rom red carpets to Teen Vogue magazine, the natural beauty trend has taken the industry by storm. Consumer whims may have sparked its beginnings more than a decade ago, but demand is now spiking profits into the billions.

“Consumer need is influencing retailers to offer cleaner formulas reflecting firm ecovalues,” says Karen Behnke, the pioneering entrepreneur who founded Juice Beauty, in San Rafael, California. Behnke aimed to create meaningful change in the industry when she assembled her dream team 13 years ago.

The company now owns a trailblazing patent and sets the standard for clinical organics.

“We’re excited that traditional department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Holt Renfrew are adding our products to their beauty departments,” says Behnke, who attributes Juice Beauty’s tremendous growth in recent years to a surge of interest in chemical-free, luxury alternatives.

Natural Replaces Toxic A recent Green Beauty Barometer online survey revealed that more than half of women want their skincare products to be

all-natural, a result likely driven by the scientific information age (see KariGran.com/ pages/greenbeauty for details). Reputable scientific studies revealing parabens in breast cancer biopsies have demonstrated that everything applied to the skin also enters the bloodstream, hence the effectiveness of dermal nicotine and birth control patches. Thus, it can be alarming to realize that the average woman will unknowingly consume seven pounds of lipstick containing petroleum-based emollients, synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes during a lifetime, undoubtedly another reason consumers are switching to natural options.

Katey Denno, a Los Angeles makeup artist to the stars, noticed cosmetic red flags early in her career. “The first time I turned over a palette that most makeup artists carry and saw specific colors that couldn’t be used on eyes or lips, I was confused; if something isn’t safe for lips or eyes, how can it be good for any part of us?” queries Denno, who switched from social work to makeup artistry 11 years ago. “The change in the industry has been substantial. Now green is mainstream, and

most artists have included some green beauty brands in their kits.”

Millennials continue to drive consumer demand for higher standards. “Retailers understand that the skincare/makeup landscape is changing,” advises Behnke.

“Traditional brands are no longer attracting younger consumers that are demanding organic, clinically validated products.”

Denno concurs, stating, “The spotlight on clean products comes from the growing acknowledgement that we can and must do all we can to lower our overall toxic load.”

Demand Escalates Women are fueling the natural beauty movement, yet more men than ever are also seeking healthy alternatives. Grooming products with unisex packaging and fragrances are among top sellers. Informed teen and 20-something buyers are inclined to choose people- and eco-friendly brands that are also cruelty-free.

A wide selection of aluminum-free, natural, personal care products including underarm deodorants are showing up in supermarkets. Women are ditching toxic hair dyes and going silver to avoid thinning hair and allergies, and unwittingly, creating a new fashion statement. Plus, there’s growing interest in DIY cosmetics using everyday good-for-you ingredients found in the kitchen.

Artisan perfumes are gaining popularity among women that want the mystery and allure of fragrance without the side effects of manmade, chemical-based brands.

“Some new customers are frustrated by commercial products giving them headaches, while others say that they just don’t like perfume, when what they actually don’t like is synthetic fragrance chemicals,” says Ananda Wilson, a botanical perfumer and owner of Gather Perfume, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

“It’s inspiring when they smell real plant scents and see how their world lights up! The molecules in natural perfumes are active and interact with personal chemistry, so they unfold differently on each

wearer, creating a unique signature and experience.”

Wilson ventured into botanical blends when both awareness and supplies of appropriate ingredients were scarce. “Perfume history is largely rooted in natural materials, but until recently, there was a mass blackout of this precious lineage.

When I started, there was barely anything available, and only through a handful of aromatherapy companies,” she explains.

Now, Wilson bases her products on botanical infusions from plants she’s grown or collected, including wild beach roses, clover and spring poplar buds.

It only takes a whiff to dispel the myth that natural perfumes lack sophistication or tenacity. “Naturals have a breadth of possibilities—opulent white florals, fresh and clean, or dirty and smoky,” expounds Wilson.

Eco-beauty is emerging from conscious lifestyle choices and creating the next era of cosmetics. “It’s fun to be called a pioneer in organic beauty,” muses Behnke. “Our products, employees and happy customers comprise an encouraging accomplishment.”

Good for People and the Planet

by John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

M

any people define a livable city as one that is easy to get around in by foot, bike or public transportation. Many also prioritize ready access to fresh, local, organic food via farmers’ markets and community gardens.

Others champion affordable housing and cost of living factors, safe neighborhoods with a diversity of people, careful stewardship of clean air and water, and plentiful amenities, including considerable open space and natural settings. Many work to preserve and enhance a sense of place suited to the locale.

Partners for Livable Communities, a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that renews and restores communities, maintains, “Livability is the sum of the factors that add up to a community’s quality of life, including the built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.” The American Association of Retired Persons considers livable communities as age-friendly for young and old alike.

South Jersey Edition

Along with economic opportunities, a leading stimulus in moving to urban centers is, “More people are looking for a sociable environment where they can walk out of their door to the shops or transit and be among others they recognize who also recognize them,” observes Suzanne Lennard, director of the International Making Cities Livable Conferences, LLC, in Portland, Oregon. “People who have traveled abroad, especially to Europe, and tasted the quality of life possible in a truly livable, walkable, beautiful and sociable city, often want to find such a place to live themselves.”

Following are a few examples of America’s many livable cities. More are transitioning and evolving as city planners, government officials, businesses and nonprofit community organizations strive to make their hometowns both people- and planet-friendly, often through public and private partnerships.

Street-Scene Renaissance

In Pittsburgh, revitalization is transforming 10,000 parcels of vacant or abandoned land—some where steel mills formerly

operated—into greenspace, bike lanes and other enticing and productive public areas.

“Biking and our food scene have exploded,” says Chris Sandvig, director of policy with the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, which advocates for equitable urban revitalization through their Vacant Property Working Group, helping communities access blighted areas for pennies on the dollar. “We’re now one of the top 10 bicycling commuter cities in the country.

People also come here as food tourists due to vibrant local agricultural activity.”

“A related ideal is to create compact, human-scale, mixed-use urban centers in the suburbs that are less expensive to construct— and thus remain more affordable—while placing shops, schools, parks, services, workplaces and public transit within walking and biking distance,” Lennard notes. “This ensures a healthy, affordable and high quality of life for all; suburban, as well as urban.”

Fast-growing Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, is following suit. “After years of watching the suburbs sprawl into subdivisions with large lawns, privacy fences and cul-de-sacs, we created a vibrant central core with apartments, townhomes, condos and new options for smaller homes—all within walking distance or a short bike ride to new places to work, shop and dine,” explains Mayor James Brainard. The design efforts serve people instead of cars.

“Carmel has spent the last 20-plus years building more than 900 miles of trails and multi-use pathways, enabling residents to commute by bicycle to work and enjoy easy access to a growing number of parks and recreational areas,” says Brainard. To facilitate traffic flow, some 100 roundabouts replaced stoplights and four-way stops.

“Reducing traffic congestion has improved our air quality, and saved gasoline and lives.” A new, mixed-use downtown Arts and Design District includes a Center for the Performing Arts with a Center Green that hosts a farmers’ market in summer and an outdoor Christkindlmarkt and outdoor skating rink in winter.

“The old way of doing things in which cities and towns sat back and let the market dictate how a community should be grown must come to an end,” remarks Brainard, advocating the benefits of local governance.

Smart City Advantages

Key elements of smart cities—sensors, cameras, data analytics and powerful networks that capture and relay vital information— help them become more energy-efficient or quicker to respond to environmental and residential issues. Such products highlighted the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Reducing traffic can also contribute to safer highways and shorter commutes with decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

“Citizens are using apps to monitor issues and alert city managers, improving the livability of their communities,” explains Steve Koenig, senior director of market research with the Consumer Technology Association.

In Boston, the app BOS:311 allows residents to instantaneously notify government departments of pollution concerns, like blocked drains and other environmental or community needs, feeding the information directly into the city’s work order system via their mobile phone. This real-time collaboration results in a cleaner, safer and healthier city.

The Envision Charlotte project encompasses interactive kiosks in 64 businesses and government buildings citywide, gathering energy usage data for office buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So far, energy consumption has dropped 19 percent, saving companies about $26 million. The program has strengthened economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

Nature in the City

Some cities have focused on the natural environment for improving local livability while mitigating contributions to climate change. Forested open spaces, wetlands and protected watersheds improve air quality, protect drinking water and buffer intense storms. Such areas also connect more people with nature and engage them in communal and healthy outdoor recreation.

Portland, Oregon, boasts more than 10,000 acres of parks, plus an innovative Biketown sharing program that has facilitated 160,000 bike trips since its launch in 2016.

The city’s Bike Bill requires all new streets to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians by design. Portland also embraces urban gardens and allows residents to raise chickens, bees, goats or rabbits in their backyards.

No one wants to live where pollution runs unchecked or water is unsafe to drink.

Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program works to keep stormwater out of sewers and reduce rainwater runoff through decentralized soil-based and plant-based systems, including pervious pavement, green roofs and rain gardens. Begun in 2011, its goal is to reduce rainwater runoff by 85 percent by 2036. Rainwater has become a valuable community resource.

The program is just one of many ways that the City of Brotherly Love is transforming itself into one of the greenest in the United States. Overseen by the city’s Office of Sustainability, Greenworks Philadelphia devises long-term sustainability strategies that encompass eight facets, including clean and efficient energy, carbon-neutrality and zero waste. Preparations are already underway to cope with a hotter, wetter future.

Preserving a Sense of Place

Making communities livable goes beyond infrastructure. Actions usually involve preserving, protecting and enhancing what appeals to residents. Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one example of many where livability priorities are guided by the values of its residents and its sense of place.

“From our historic public square and marketplaces to outdoor cafes, farmers’ markets and community festivals; from human-scale architecture and balanced transportation to pedestrian and bicycle networks, this place represents shared values,” says Mayor Javier M. Gonzales.

“Santa Fe is also full of public art. The city is designed to be safe, creative and inspiring for young and old, families of all kinds and everyone else that comes to see us.”

Good Life as Kids See It

Ultimately, making cities move livable for children can make them highly livable for all. “Children need the same things from a city that we all need, but their needs are greater than ours,” says Lennard. “The environment a child grows up in shapes their health and their mental and social development for the rest of their lives. Our modern, unwalkable suburban environments are contributing to childhood obesity, which has been widely linked to

chronic diseases that in the past were only associated with old age.”

She notes, “Children need the exercise of walking or biking to school. They need safe streets so they can become independent and explore their neighborhoods; sidewalks and other outdoor areas where they can play, meet friends and interact with adults in the community; easy access to nature; beauty in their environment; and intriguing architecture, works of art and other places to stimulate their affection and imagination. As they become teenagers, they need access by foot or bike to a wide variety of resources to broaden their horizons. Don’t we all need these things?”

Pets Welcome Here Happy Places to Live and Travel Together

by Sandra Murphy

A

s of last year, 90 million dogs lived in American homes. Including cats, birds, fish, small animals and reptiles, the grand total is 393 million, reports the American Pet Products Association. Pets are considered family members by 95 percent of their people. Accordingly, pets are a key consideration in choosing a friendly place to live or visit.

The personal finance website WalletHub analyzed the most pet-friendly U.S. cities encompassing criteria inclusive of access to veterinarians and cost, pet insurance rates, pet-friendly restaurants, pet-centric businesses, dog parks and animal shelters. SmartAsset, a personal finance technology company, ranked cities by dog parks, pet-friendly restaurants and stores, walkability, weather and housing costs. Unsurprisingly, many high picks are in warmer climates.

What to Seek

“First, look for pet-friendly landlords. Space to play, socialize and exercise animals is next on my list, followed by breweries and restaurants that allow dogs on their patios,” 30

says Alexandra Bassett, a professional dog trainer and owner of Dog Savvy Los Angeles. “I hike off-leash in Runyon Canyon and we visit the Pawbar at Pussy & Pooch, a pet lifestyle boutique, to mingle and sample treats. Food is the fastest way to make a dog comfortable in just about any setting.”

Irvine and Carlsbad, California, and Portland, Maine, are among the first cities to ban use of toxic pesticides in public areas and homes, following pressure from local groups. Being closer to the ground and smaller in size, pets suffer adverse reactions faster than humans. Contact local environmental groups to help ban harmful insecticides and herbicides in public areas.

In Pasco County, Florida, Epperson Community homes exemplify eco- and pet-friendly planning, with open spaces and solar power-lit trails for jogging and walking. Birdhouses throughout the property welcome wild feathered friends.

A centerpiece lagoon enhances scenic walks and uses less water and energy than a traditional pool or golf course. Separate paths allocated for bikes and driverless cars keep dog walkers safe.

NASouthJersey.com

Colony Cove, in Ellenton, Florida, is a 55-plus retirement community that allows multiple pets, including some breeds banned elsewhere. It maintains a large dog park, and at summer’s end, dogs are welcome to take a dip in the pool. Further, the association offers mobile groomers, photos with Santa and costume contests.

All species are welcome at Rose Villa Senior Living, in Portland, Oregon, where residents’ request for an off-leash dog park play area was granted. One resident owns two dogs, two cats and an African gray parrot.

The largest-ever Canadian residential project to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum certification, Calgary’s University District, embraces ecological conservation, habitat restoration and long-term conservation management principles. Designed for residents to age in place with their families, recreational fitness amenities include on- and off-leash dog parks, a pet-friendly activity space and paths leading to parks.

Favorite Activities

Sara Nick, chief content officer at Sidewalk Dog Media, in Minneapolis, suggests experiencing unique adventures. Dog paddling takes on new meaning via stand-up paddleboarding with a pooch at Minnesota’s Split Rock Lighthouse and Tettegouche state parks. Whatever the weather, equine-friendly pups can ride along in a horse-drawn carriage from Doubletree Carriage Company, in Spring Valley. Dogs are welcome to watch or snooze through film showings at the Long Drive-In, in Long Prairie.

Birgit and Jim Walker, authors of Keep Your Paws on the Road: A Practical Guide to Traveling with Dogs, travel by RV in summer with their three dogs to favorite stops like Tombstone, Arizona. “Some tourist areas don’t welcome dogs, but in Tombstone, dogs can go for stagecoach rides and down into a mine with you,” she says.

Kim Salerno, president and founder of TripsWithPets.com, in Wake Forest, North Carolina, recommends Kimpton or Aloft hotels. “Kimpton accepts any pet, any size, weight, breed or species. Amenities include a bed, treats, a water bowl and toys with no additional pet fee,” she says.

Salerno continues, “In Asheville, dogs are allowed on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate. The Ernest Hemingway House, in Key West, Florida, allows small, cat-friendly dogs. Boutiques, feed stores, wineries and art galleries may say yes to pets. Ask first and make sure your pet is well-behaved.”

Whether at home or traveling, families can enjoy many opportunities to share new experiences with pets. Just be sure they mind their manners to have a good time.

Peter Gros on Preserving Wild Nature

by Sandra Murphy

P

eter Gros, co-host of the original Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom TV show, wildlife expert and environmental conservationist, now educates groups of young people that spend more time on their handheld devices than they do outdoors.

His message impresses upon the next generation the importance of wildlife and open spaces as they gift us with heartfelt awe and balance, and engage us with nature to offset manmade lives.

His 30 years of field experiences include serving as a wildlife lecturer and licensed U.S. Department of Agriculture exhibitor. An active member of the American Zoo and Aquariums Association and the Zoological Association of America, Gros is also on the board of directors of the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association and a trustee for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. He lives in Seattle and spends time in national forests when not speaking to groups.

Which animals are most often displaced by development so that we now share space with them?

Deer, raccoons, alligators and coyotes are common neighbors, depending on where you live. The deer population used to be controlled by natural predators like wolves; without wolves, deer can overpopulate.

The best thing to remember is that animals go where there’s a food supply. Gardens attract deer; cat or dog food left out brings raccoons. Coyotes and alligators must lose their fear of humans in order to eat. Don’t feed, tease or interact with them. Take photos from a distance. Call your local government animal agency for help or referral to a licensed animal rehabber before “rescuing” an abandoned baby; mothers often spend periods of time away hunting for food.

We react to snakes, wolves and bats from a place of unfounded fears: snakes don’t have facial expressions, are seen as cold or slimy and move quickly; wolves are dangerous; bats can tangle in your hair. These are all tall tales. Animals want to avoid us.

We’ve reacted to our own fears with needless snake roundups, bounties on wolves and panic when a tiny bat swoops by. Historically, there have been no attacks on humans by wolves, and reintroducing them into Yellowstone National Park has restored a natural balance. Snakes keep disease-carrying rodents away. Bats use their radar to steer clear.

We need to understand each animal’s purpose and place in nature. Feeding wildlife corrupts natural behaviors and removes their fear of humans. When we deem them a nuisance or inconvenient, we treat them like they’re disposable and have no value.

It’s better for everyone to enjoy the fact that animals are there and keep our distance.

Who else is working to educate people about the importance of wildlife and habitat?

Zoos used to be concrete-enclosed collections of animals. Now they are education centers, offering enrichment programs and improved natural habitats to keep the animals active and interested. Waterfalls, swimming pools, trees, puzzles and toys that prompt animals to mimic hunting behaviors help keep a resident animal’s mind and body active.

Breeding programs help maintain endangered species. We’re able to study and learn about a species while caring for them. One breeding program I worked with focused on spotted and striped big cats: the leopards and tigers. In another, we used incubators to hatch eggs among a threatened ostrich population. In Big Sur, California, condors have been raised with puppets so they wouldn’t imprint on humans before being released. Nature and science centers across the country are also teaching people about the importance of animals.

Why are some animals in danger of being killed on sight?

Each of us can make a daily difference in preserving our natural world. I’ve been fortunate

in being able to showcase wild animals, help endangered or protected species and share what I’ve learned in educational forums.

Good news includes sighting of the black-footed ferret, once thought to be extinct. Mountain lions are recovering.

We are learning from past mistakes. A big lesson is that what nature provides isn’t in endless supply, so we must be wise and frugal with all of our natural resources.

What are you most passionate about?

No one should have a wild or exotic animal as a pet. The animals I show to audiences were bottle-raised or rescued. They can’t be released and so have become animal ambassadors. When people see them, they better understand the importance of nature and wildlife to people and the planet. I’m passionate about preserving wildlife and open spaces.

Kids Love These Homemade Drinks

t day camp or the pool, on the playing field or in the backyard, kids can get really thirsty, especially as temperatures climb. Although filtered water is always a good choice, sugary, carbonated, artificially colored and flavored beverages can be tempting. Having homemade options ready can entice kids to stay hydrated in a healthy way.

Clued-in Professionals “As a sports nutritionist and mother of active kids, I know there’s a lot of misin-

formation out there, and I get all kinds of questions from parents about what drinks are best for kids,” says Jackie Berning, Ph.D., a registered dietitian, sports nutrition consultant and professor of health science at the University of Colorado, in Colorado Springs. “Parents need to know that all beverages are not created equal when it comes to hydrating them. The best [healthful] beverages taste good when your child is active, so encourage their drinking more of them,” she says.

Michele Olivier, the mother of daughters Elliette and Parker, views herself as both a lover of food and a control freak. The Denver, Colorado, recipe blogger started off making food for her baby and toddler. As her kids grew and their nutritional needs changed, she created new recipes, including healthy sports drinks that both balance electrolytes and hydrate.

While Elliette loves water and has no trouble staying hydrated, Parker loves juice, so Mom had to “make something that looks like juice, but is healthy,” says Olivier. Four main ingredients are a little frozen fruit left over from breakfast smoothies, a bit of honey for sweetening, a dash of Himalayan sea salt and water, or herbal tea or coconut water. She might also add fresh mint, ginger or other natural flavorings (BabyFoode.com).

Heather Dessinger, a mom of three and blogger of recipes and natural mothering tips from Santa Fe, Tennessee, makes a drink based on coconut water with lime juice, raw honey and sea salt for older kids that play soccer or other warm-weather sports. Dessinger describes herself as a researcher and healthy living DIY fan (Mommypotamus.com).

With homemade drinks, we know exactly what is—and what isn’t—in them.

They can be made in batches and kept in the refrigerator. Dessinger relates, “I’ve found that when I make a batch with honey, which is naturally antimicrobial, and store it in the coldest part of the fridge, my homemade sports drink lasts for at least a week.”

We Need Clean Waters Streams and Rivers Are Life Links

reeks, streams and rivers flow into ponds, lakes and oceans, carrying pollution. Keeping large bodies of water clean starts with local waterways.

As awareness of this need rises, some rivers in Africa, India, New Zealand and elsewhere are being protected and recognized as living entities, with rights, values and the legal status of people. While court cases brought by commercial interests are challenging such decisions, progress continues on many fronts.

for updates in managing sturgeon stock.

In Athens County, Ohio, Michelle Shively, in Trimble, is Sunday Creek’s watershed coordinator. “Every minute, 850 to 1,000 gallons of polluted water from an underground mine pool flows into the creek, turning the water orange from iron waste. Once the iron is removed, you need to do something with it,” she says.

Guy Riefler, Ph.D., an associate professor of civil engineering, and John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of a painting and drawing program, both with Ohio University, in Athens, found a way to wash, dry and pulverize recovered iron. It will be sold to Gamblin Artists Colors to make oil paints for artists in mustardy ochre, rusty red and violet tones. Not yet widely available, 500 sample tubes of Reclaimed Earth Violet were featured at an initial fundraiser.

“Cleaning water is expensive, but now we’ve turned the problem into a method to fund more work,” says Shively.

Throughout history, river dams have been built to provide power or irrigation, prevent flooding and provide municipal water needs. Of approximately 80,000 three-foot-tall or higher U.S. dams, only about 2,500 produce hydropower. Removal of old dams no longer serving their original function can restore entire watershed ecosystems, provide habitat for fish and wildlife, add jobs, improve water quality, reinstate natural sediment and nutrient flow, and save taxpayer dollars.

Built in 1929 and abandoned after World War II, demolition of an Eklutna River dam, in Alaska, began in 2016. Curtis McQueen, an Eklutna tribal leader and CEO of Eklutna Inc., which now owns the dam, reported that 300,000 cubic yards of sediment had amassed there, along with junked cars, TVs and other trash. The tribe is the first in the nation to be involved in such a massive project, intended to restore its historic salmon population.

In 2017, dams were removed in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

“The good news is that in meetings like the St. Louis River Summit, in Superior, Wisconsin, in March, clean water wasn’t viewed only in a strictly scientific sense, but added the human factor to produce more diverse solutions,” says Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D., the Monterey Bay, California, author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. “The bad news is that most projects are funded, directly or indirectly, by the federal government. Cuts add challenges and stress to looking for solutions.”

Cities like Pittsburgh, Superior and Duluth are among many that are protecting, restoring and rejuvenating riverfronts with increased public access, thus rekindling residents’ love for and recognition of the mental and physical benefits provided by their waterways.

“We’re in a period of big ideas,” says Nichols. Two can be easily implemented.

First, he explains, don’t build right on the water; instead, sit in the “second row”.

Second, gain perspective by experiencing changes in waterways.

“One way to do this is to spend an hour a day, or even an hour a week, in, on or near the water. Take someone new with you each time,” suggests Nichols.

“You’ll see how best to value, promote and defend our right to clean water.”

Then teach the kids.

DOING NOTHING Why Timeouts Matter

by April Thompson

I

n a harried world where our work is never done, it’s tough to take timeouts to do nothing. Yet, when we pump the brakes on Americans’ obsessive drive, we discover fresh productivity, creativity and contentment.

“We’re socialized to pride ourselves on accomplishment and achievement, yet when you step back, you realize doing nothing produces a valuable currency, especially in enhanced mental health,” says Colleen Long, a Boston psychologist and author of Happiness in B.A.L.A.N.C.E: What We Know Now About Happiness.

Italians call it la dolce far niente, or the sweetness of doing nothing, while the Dutch word niksen translates as “doing something without a purpose”. Here are a few tips to reclaim the art of be-ing over do-ing.

Create a “do nothing” ritual. Set aside a special time and make it known.

It can start the morning or wind down an evening. It may be meditating a few minutes or enjoying a bit of aromatherapy, wherever the heart leads. guilty feelings when they arise, but don’t heed them. It takes time to undo mental programming and learn to quiet the voice urging, “Don’t just stand there, do something!”

Mindfully do nothing. It’s not about

vegging out with passive activities like watching TV or checking email. It’s a time to come alive to our senses and surroundings, whether listening to music or peoplewatching, free of distractions from phone

you’ll get a benefit even if it doesn’t feel like you’re doing it right or perfectly,” advises Long. It looks different for different people.

“Before I had kids, my ‘nothing time’ might be just being out in nature or simply doing one thing mindfully at a time, like washing dishes. Now I incorporate the principle into family time. One day a week, I shut off the phone, get on the floor with my kids and just let life get messy.”

The simple explanation of this program is that when the endocrine system is balanced, a person is less likely to become ill, over-weight and emotionally imbalanced. ICAM patients report an improved quality of life, both emotionally and physically. See ad on page 13.

It is a known fact that millions of women after the menopausal transition, undergo changes in their vaginal health and suffer from vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.

The changes in vaginal health is due to declining estrogen levels. Current management of these symptoms include Estrogens and Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators. Not all women can take estrogens for symptomatic relief. The MonaLisa Touch therapy is an effective in-office, non-hormornal therapy, with no downtime. Most women have called it life changing. It is similar to the annual pelvic exam. Many women have reported symptomatic relief after the first treatment. See ads on pages 7 and 15.
