Hypervibe Now in Tucson

H

ypervibe vibration platform is now in Tucson, exclusively at Wholistic Family Medicine.

This technology helps patients gain better balance coordination, and can help those who have suffered an injury or stroke, or have any neuro-degenerative disease like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.

Originally developed by NASA, frequency vibration platforms were created to stop bone loss in astronauts due to extended time intervals in a weightless environment. For those who have osteopenia or osteoporosis, this is the most effective treatment available to safely and naturally increase bone density.

“It’s important to know that frequency vibration machines are not created equal.

There are many knock-offs that are really toys compared to those machines that are medically certified like the Hypervibe,” explains Dr. Lance Morris, of Wholistic Family Medicine. “To induce benefits increasing bone density, the machine has to be able to generate frequencies above 20Hz. In this range, it also improves circulation, muscle strength, fat burning and cellulite reduction.”

This therapy can help with: muscles that are too tight or twitchy, restless leg syndrome, creating more flexibility or mobility, pain reduction, swollen legs/ankles, generalized lymphatic congestion and a stronger immune system. “If you have diabetic or post-chemo neuropathy and other treatments have failed or offer little help, maybe it’s time to try frequency vibration therapy,” says Morris.

Gain Control of Your Finances with Viviane Thompson

V

iviane Thompson, a Certified Forensic Accountant and QuickBooks ProAdvisor, is different from other accountants because she has both a solid background in accounting and bookkeeping from working with many small and mid-sized businesses, as well as a solid knowledge of QuickBooks, the bookkeeping software leader. Her specialization is what she calls “the other Viviane Thompson 11 months of the year—the months when you are not thinking about filing your tax return.”

Thompson’s approach is bottom up: create a solid accounting and bookkeeping foundation along with efficient and competent systems and procedures so that the owners can then build a robust and profitable company they are proud of. “First, I’ll work with you to take care of the backlog, then I’ll give you training and direction about your business today, and I will be available for questions and help in the future,” says Thompson.

She helps maneuver the maze of the payroll tax system, prepare accurate sales tax reports, calculate workers’ compensation premiums properly and develop a system that will provide timely and accurate statements, designed just for each client’s needs.

Window Cleaning Brings Happiness

A

ccording to Jack Baker, owner of Marine Clean Windows LLC, he’s never had a customer who was unhappy after having their windows cleaned. Spreading happiness the best way he knows how, Baker offers free window cleaning estimates in the Tucson area.

“It’s downright refreshing and uplifting when everything is clear and shiny with no cobwebs or dust to hinder the appearance of your home,” enthuses Baker. “The happiness window cleaning brings does not just stop with your home. For example, Jack Baker perhaps you’ve enjoyed a meal at a restaurant known for its views. While it may not be a part of anyone’s thoughts, a window cleaner was part of the reason that restaurant’s customers had such an enjoyable and happy experience.”

When windows are filthy to look at and look through, the last emotion prompted is happiness. This may lead some homeowners to take drastic measures like spraying their windows with a hose. Not only can this lead to hard water issues on the window itself, but it only provides temporary satisfaction. Marine Clean Windows is not just a business name, it’s the standard one should expect for windows.

Worry Less About Alzheimer’s

M

any people are very concerned about the ravages Alzheimer’s causes, especially if they have seen the devastation firsthand.

Yes, Alzheimer’s is incredibly common, but that does not mean it is inevitable.

Alzheimer’s is a disease that breaks down the brain over decades, but the strategies below will help keep the brain healthy and regenerating.

• Keep daily added sugar to 25 grams a day. Constantly overdosing on sugar wears out our insulin, and without healthy insulin the brain can’t get fuel and brain cells die.

• Eat lots of coconut oil. If insulin is challenged for any reason, the brain can convert coconut oil into fuel and get nourished without insulin.

• Daily exercise has shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by 90 percent.

Exercise also increases circulation and improves mood—other things that are great for the brain.

• Use it or lose it. Learning new skills keeps brain cells healthy.

• Get the brain and spine cared for by a chiropractor who is trained in releasing flightor-fight. When we are stuck in constant stress mode, we decrease the blood supply to the higher brain, killing off nerve cells. In addition, our body puts out stress hormones like adrenaline, which puts massive stress on the thyroid, leading to weight gain and decreased motivation to exercise or eat well.

Keeping our brain and spine flexible, free and regularly “refreshed” is great to prevent Alzheimer’s and all diseases and promote longevity, happiness and better quality of life.

Dr. Joanne Haupert is a Doctor of Chiropractic at Inspired Healing, located at 4858 E. Broadway, in Tucson. Connect at 520-584-0343.

Nutrition Upgrades and Managing Allergies

A

llergies can often be incapacitating to sufferers, affecting work, family and active events. The good news is that the allergy is reversible. An allergy is a symptom, not a cause, so the goal is to get to the cause and then heal naturally—through healing the gut.

People mainly think of food allergies, although we can react to anything. Food allergy or intolerance produces multiple symptoms. Common symptoms in the vast majority are digestive problems: pain, diarrhea or constipation, urgency, bloating, indigestion. We need to look deeper at what causes food intolerances.

In a person with abnormal gut flora, the gut becomes a major source of toxicity in the body instead of being a source of nourishment.

As the toxins produced by the pathogens in the gut absorb into the bloodstream, they get distributed around the body, causing problems.

16

Tucson Edition

NaturalTucson.com

An allergy is a symptom, and the cause is a breach of the gut wall caused by abnormal gut flora that allows intestinal lumen contents into the bloodstream. Reaction happens. The metabolites of the abnormal flora activate the immune system in the gut wall. An allergy is the sign the person needs to heal and seal their gut wall and reseed the good microbes. An allergy can signify gut inflammation. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) take care of it naturally.

The SCD and GAPS get to the cause and allow the gradual healing of allergies—meaning healing the gut wall. At the source of this reactivity is the breach of the gut wall. Synonyms for the breach are dysbiosis, small intestinal bowel overgrowth (SIBO), leaky gut and hyperpermeability of gut wall.

In a 2009 article in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride writes, “I have been using SCD for many years in my clinic and it is the diet for food allergies. As I work largely with children with learning disabilities, I group these patients under the name Gut and Psychology Syndrome or GAPS. Over the years, I developed a GAPS Introduction Diet for the more severe end of the spectrum. I find the Introduction Diet is particularly effective in food allergies, as it allows the gut wall to heal quicker.”

The SCD and GAPS provide nourishment for the gut lining and positive microbes in the form of fermented foods. The Introduction Diet is structured in stages, with the patient following the stages one by one. Campbell-McBride recommends following the Full Diet for two years on average to restore normal gut flora and gastrointestinal function.

Sheila Shea is Director of Intestinal Health Institute, founded in 1997 to promote the natural healing of the gastrointestinal system through nutrition, colon hydrotherapy and detoxification. She stays in shape with yoga, tennis and regular meditation practice. Connect at 520-325-9686, Intestines@SheilaShea.com or SheilaShea.com.

The Nutritional Value of Our Food Matters

T

he more we all learn about our food origins—types of soil, what the soil and plants are treated with, quality of water used, how they are harvested and when, how far they are transported and what’s done to them before we buy them—the more we can grasp how important it is that we buy fresh, in season, local, organic foods. Our local store often does carry organic foods, but how fresh are they really?

Since Tucson was designated the first city in the U.S. to be recognized as a UNESCO World City of Gastronomy, lots more food-related activities are being discussed, appreciated and highlighted. Hopefully most of Southern Arizona now knows that our little town has the longest agricultural history of any city in North America. So, buying at the local farmers’ markets helps our local economy and our health. Still, local foods can be pro-inflammatory, so be aware of the following.

Foods that are known to cause inflammation are conventionally grown beef, pork and chicken; deep fried foods; peanuts; refined flour products; most packaged or processed foods; and white foods like bananas, potatoes, rice and dried fruits.

Meats aren’t all inherently bad; it is about their processing and what was fed to the animal beforehand. Packaged foods are processed so much that little to no nutrient value is left in the food. Freezing vegetables, fruits or meats is the exception, when not packed in water first.

So, what does inflammation do? It is now proven that inflammation is the root of all chronic illnesses—even cancer—due to the damage done on the cellular level to our mitochondria. These cell components are the powerhouses of our cell’s energy, so once they are damaged, our health begins to go awry.

The idea is to avoid heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, low energy, joint pains, endocrine disorders, even autoimmune disorders, we need to stop putting into our bodies foods that cause inflammation. Switching to local, in season, organic (which automatically means non-GMO) fresh foods, as well as grass-fed, freerange meats not fed GMO corn or soy, can improve anyone’s health immensely.

New Technology for Skin Tightening and Resurfacing

F

ibroblast therapy, a non-laser, non-surgical approach to skin tightening and skin resurfacing, is a brand new way to tighten skin anywhere on the face or body. It is done with a handheld tool called a plasma arc. The arc is produced when an electrical current coming through a machine and oxygen are placed very close to the skin. It can be described as “like a tiny bolt of lightning”.

The arc touches the skin causing it to slightly, temporarily, dehydrate, which in turn causes the skin to contract and tighten. Within a few days, the skin will rehydrate and stimulate collagen production. This production means younger, tighter looking skin—rewinding the “aging clock”.

This technology has been very popular in Europe and Asia for quite some years, but it is just hitting the U.S. like a tsunami. For skin that is slackening, resulting in droopy eyes, jowls, turkey neck, wrinkled cheeks, crow’s feet, lip lines or forehead creases, this may be the answer. The treatment is also good for helping eradicate stretch marks, scars, loose belly skin and even saggy, baggy arms. It even works on getting rid of unwanted tattoos.

Fibroblast therapy is not surgery. There is no cutting, no stitches, nothing to be allergic to and very little down time. It provides subtle results that people will notice. It is advised to avoid direct sun exposure for a while afterward, so now may be a perfect time to be treated.

Debbie Shaw is owner of Alternatives in Health Care Detox Therapy Spa, the first spot in Tucson to offer Fibroblast therapy. She is offering a free consultation and aftercare kit to the first 10 people that mention this article and book an appointment ($50 value). Connect at 520-275-4510 or DetoxTherapySpa.com.

Exercise vs.

Allergies

All the Right Moves

S

by Marlaina Donato

easonal allergies plague more than 26 million Americans, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, with numbers on the rise in recent years. This is due in part to a dramatic increase in the amount of airborne pollen, a possible byproduct of climate change. Environmental and lifestyle stress, inadequate nutrition and weakened immune systems are also factors, leaving many feeling too miserable to engage in physical activities.

Yet, research shows that exercise can help ease allergy symptoms and lessen severity. A survey of 2,000 allergy sufferers sponsored by the UK National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit showed those that exercised the most had the mildest symptoms.

Boosting heart rate through aerobic activities such as running, walking, jumping rope, treadmill routines, tennis and team sports like volleyball or basketball seems to offer anti-allergy benefits.

Vitamin C can also help. Researchers from the Faculty of Sports Science at Chulalongkorn University, in Bangkok, Thailand, found that 70 percent of participants that took a vitamin C supplement and ran for half an hour experienced decreased nasal congestion and sneezing.

“Exercising regularly creates a cumulative effect in the body, helps speed up metabolism and improves immunity, so you could find even less allergies occurring over time,” says Stephanie Mansour, fitness expert and former allergy sufferer from Chicago. “I used to get allergy shots for a runny nose and headaches during certain times of the year, but personally transformed my allergies through expanding my lungs and chest and balancing out my nervous system.”

The American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy recommends gentler forms of exercise, and cautions against vigorous workouts such as Crossfit or long runs that can be counterproductive and exacerbate allergy flare-ups. Mansour recommends yoga, Pilates, walking or weight training—especially when congestion is a factor.

Try Some Yoga Mansour, a certified yoga instructor, attests to the benefits of the practice. To ease the symptoms of allergies, she recommends yoga both for its physical effects and its breath benefits.

“Yoga can also help bring equilibrium to the nervous system and help the body relax. When the body is in a healthy balance and relaxed, it’s more effective at warding off things like infection or allergies.”

Registered nurse and yoga instructor Kristin Brien, of New York City, concurs. “A yoga practice trains and strengthens the vagal nerve, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system—rest and digest mode—and turns off the inflammatory response,” Brien

More Exercise, Less Discomfort

says. “When we are under chronic stress, our nervous systems react as though our bodies are under constant threat, thus making some of us more susceptible to hypersensitive reactions to offending seasonal antigens like pollen and ragweed.”

Yoga practitioners across the board recommend inverted poses such as the plow, shoulder stand and downward facing dog to relieve allergy-related congestion.

While yoga can be beneficial, inverted poses should be avoided by anyone with high blood pressure, glaucoma or retinal issues due to increased pressure in the blood vessels of the head, and some experts emphasize that allergy sufferers and asthmatics should avoid hot yoga and other demanding forms during flare-ups.

A gentle approach goes a long way.

Ideally, Brien recommends asanas that anyone can do, including legs up the wall, supported bridge pose, supported reclined goddess pose and child’s pose.

Warm-Up No matter the type of exercise, warming up can play a key factor. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, stretching before activity and boosting heart rate helps to maximize exercise and its symptom-reducing effects.

Create a Healthy Space Lessening the body’s burden by making small changes in living or workout space can also optimize the benefits of exercise.

Brien, an allergy sufferer and asthmatic, recommends using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to reduce circulating allergens and also wiping down all surfaces, including yoga mats, floors, window sills and vents. During drier, colder times of the year, Mansour recommends using a humidifier to add moisture to the air and improve breathing.

Exercise may not cure seasonal allergies, but it can lessen related symptoms, along with effecting a more balanced nervous system and better overall health.

Taize Services at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church

S

t. Michael’s Episcopal Church holds Taize services on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. The services are contemplative, held by candlelight and offer a rich experience of community, music, reflection and joyful singing.

Each is unique, with varying Taize songs, spoken and sung prayers, chants and periods of silence and meditation.

Eight musicians contribute on violin, guitar, mandolin, recorder and piano, along with an organ voluntary and a bagpipes recessional. At one service, one may hear a Traditional Ugandan Chant or a Lakota Native American Chant, while at another, a beautiful soprano vocalize over the ringing of Tibetan prayer bowls. There are also readings by authors from a variety of religious traditions. Taize is ecumenical and affirming, rooted in the openness and welcoming nature of the Taize Community in France.

The Celtic spirituality author John O’Donohue speaks of “music as presence” and says, “Music opens doorways into eternal presence. It educates and refines your listening; you begin to sense your own eternity in the echoes of your soul. Music is the perfect sister of silence.” For most people, their first encounter with Taize is through its music. Taize songs have a chant-like quality and consist of short verses that are repeated, creating the meditative quality of prayer. It’s about listening to God, to one another and taking this divine presence into the world.

As a complement to Taize, St. Michael’s also offers a Contemplative Prayer Group, which meets on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. It is held in the House of Prayer, located on the north campus of the church. Sunday services include a Family Mass, a traditional High Mass and a Spanish Mass. All are welcome.

A SOUND TO HEAL There is a sound behind all sounds: HU (hue).

Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, he would hear this quiet sound. This sound of HU would pass through the trees and soothe him on his walks.

The sound seemed to open his heart to something he was not yet aware of. Sometimes he felt this sound was all around him, or maybe it was inside of him, tapping on his awareness.

Standing by the Ponderosa pine trees he would look up and think the sound was coming from the top of the trees.

How many times had he climbed those 40-foot trees and sat at the top branch and listened to the music of the wind through the pine needles? Neither gravity nor the sap of the tree would deter him from following the call of this sound.

Years later, he found out what this sound was called: HU. It was the building block from which all other sounds came. By singing this sound, it keeps him in balance in his day-to-day world, opens his heart to awareness, soothes the rough spots and is healing.

If this sounds interesting to you, please join us where we will sing this HU and experience this sound, at Sound of Soul, held at 1:30 p.m., March 16, at Morris Udall Recreation Center.

NUTRITION UPGRADES Five Strategies for Better Health

S

by Melinda Hemmelgarn

pringtime brings a desire to clean up our diets and refresh our plates. Here are five worthy strategies for upgrading nutrition and greeting the season with a renewed sense of well-being. n Ditch dieting.

According to the Boston Medical Center, an estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet each year and spend more than $30 billion annually on weight-loss products.

Despite this hefty investment, restrictive diets don’t work, says Sandra Aamodt, a neuroscientist based in northern California. Aamodt co-presented the Neurobiology of Dieting: Evidence for Improving Mental Health With a Self-Care Approach session at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) annual meeting last October in Washington, D.C.

“Diets are not harmless,” Aamodt explains. “They create stress, persistent hunger,

trigger eating disorders such as binge eating and even make people fatter over time.”

It’s better to take a kinder approach, says Rebecca Scritchfield, a Washington, D.C.-based registered dietitian and Aamodt’s co-presenter. Scritchfield is the author of Body Kindness: Transform Your Health From the Inside Out – and Never Say Diet Again. She teaches her clients to value their self-worth regardless of body size, practice mindful eating and focus on overall self-care: Think enjoyable physical activity, adequate sleep and positive self-talk.

Mindful eating includes paying attention to thoughts and feelings that trigger eating such as hunger, but also stress, boredom and loneliness, says Californiabased registered dietitian Andrea Lieberstein, who wrote Well Nourished: Mindful Practices to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Feed Your Whole Self, and End Overeating. She encourages clients to identify voids in their lives and fill them

with healthy relationships and pleasurable activities, rather than food.

The “health at any size” philosophy is accepted by a growing number of health and nutrition experts, including Annie Kay, a registered dietitian and registered yoga therapist at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. She’s the author of Every Bite is Divine: The Balanced Approach to Enjoying Eating, Feeling Healthy and Happy, and Getting to a Weight That’s Natural for You. Kay injects compassion into her work, promoting stress reduction, conscious eating and finding peace for individuals to reach their natural weight. n Learn how to cook and garden. The best

dietary upgrade starts in our own kitchens, where the cook controls the ingredients.

Home cooking with fresh, whole foods is at the heart of feeding ourselves well. Processed food manufacturers would like us to equate cooking with drudgery or think that cooking takes too much time, yet this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Tanmeet Sethi, an integrative physician at the Swedish Cherry Hill Family Medicine Residency, in Seattle, established a culinary medicine program that includes both cooking and gardening classes. Sethi says, “Eating is sacred; it’s our connection to the earth.” She also believes there is wisdom in the way food has been traditionally cooked. Sethi recommends a Mediterranean eating pattern for its power to reduce depression and ward off March 2019

n Eat to protect our planet.

According to the American Public Health Association, climate change is a major threat to our population.

Droughts, fires, storms and flooding create obvious challenges to growing crops, but new research also shows how increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreases the nutritional quality of food, leading to lower levels of protein and minerals. One solution is to change the way we farm and eat.

For example, Jennifer Jay, Ph.D., a professor of environmental engineering in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of California Los Angeles, calculated the carbon footprints and climate impacts of a variety of food choices. In general, she says, the fewer animal products in our diets, the lower the greenhouse gas impact.

But meat and other animal products need not be totally off the table. Simply choose smaller portions and when possible, purchase local pasture-raised products produced without antibiotics and hormones.

Organic food production introduces less fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and greenhouse gases into our environment. So, what’s best for the planet is best for us. Jay provides easy, plant-based and planet-friendly recipes at Meals4Planet.org. n Support gut health. Around 400 B.C., Hippocrates said, “Bad digestion is the root of all evil.” Fast forward through the centuries to today, and one of the hottest areas of research in health, medicine and nutrition revolves around the microbiome; more specifically, the community of microorganisms living in the gut.

“Seventy percent of our immune system is in the lining of the gut,” explains Sethi, which is why she advises,“Feed the bacteria in your gut real food.” Similarly, Teresa Martin, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in Bend, Oregon, emphasizes the value of unprocessed, high-fiber, organic plant foods to nourish gut bacteria and maintain microbial balance.

chronic diseases. She also promotes the “herb and spice pharmacy” to reduce inflammation and treat and prevent disease. For example, she says, “Ginger and turmeric both act on the same biochemical pathways as antiinflammatory medicines.”

Cooking and eating together as a family has multiple benefits, too, improving children’s nutrition, self-esteem and school performance. Best of all, says Sethi, “Family meals allow us to connect with the people we love.” Put away phones, turn off screens and truly tune in to each other.

Connecting to the earth through gardening also improves our health, according to both Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, a registered dietitian and associate director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Diana Dyer, a Michigan-based organic farmer, registered dietitian and author of A Dietitian’s Cancer Story: Information & Inspiration for Recovery & Healing. They promote gardening as a way to interact with nature, reduce stress and improve quality of life. With just a small patch of soil, home and community gardens provide a ready source of affordable, fresh and nutritious vegetables and herbs.

Seventy percent of our immune system is in the lining of the gut. ~Tanmeet Sethi, an integrative physician at the Swedish Cherry Hill Family Medicine Residency, in Seattle.

Speaking at the same recent meeting, Martin described multiple ways gut bacteria influence our physical and mental health, including nutrient absorption, body weight and blood sugar control, bone density, inflammation and mood.

Microbes in the colon digest and ferment plant fibers into short-chain fatty acids, which help ensure a thick, healthy, intestinal mucus lining. Martin notes, “When we don’t eat enough plants, we can’t make enough short-chain fatty acids,” which are key to gut-brain crosstalk and control of appetite and mood.

Martin recommends eating 35 to 50 grams of fiber per day from food, not supplements. She also warns against “microbial assassins” such as antibiotics, processed meats, high-fat diets, refined carbohydrates, added sugars and artificial sweeteners, plus the emulsifiers polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulose, which are commonly added to foods like ice cream and baked goods to improve texture and extend shelf life. All contribute to microbial imbalance, the loss of microbial diversity and leaky gut—the inability to keep offending food compounds like gluten and intact milk protein out of the bloodstream—leading to food intolerance, inflammation and autoimmune disorders.

Registered dietitian Brenda Davis, of British Columbia, also recommends whole-food, plant-based diets to reverse Type 2 diabetes. She developed a “whole-grain hierarchy” to identify the most gut-friendly, least-processed grains, including cracked oats, brown rice, barley, buckwheat, sprouted grain, wheat berries and kamut. Along with beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables, Davis says these foods nourish beneficial gut microbes and reduce inflammation.

n Try intermittent fasting and smart meal timing. Allowing the body at least 12 hours without food intake benefits gut microbial diversity, says Martin.

Intermittent fasting, or eating patterns in which no or few calories are consumed between 12 to 16 hours, can protect against a variety of metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, perhaps in part due to the effect on gut microbes.

Dorothy Sears, associate professor of medicine and associate director of the Center for Circadian Biology at the University of California, San Diego, studied the effect of intermittent fasting, or “time-restricted feeding”, on the risk of breast cancer recurrence. In a study of more than 2,300 breast cancer survivors, Sears discovered the women that fasted for at least 13 hours a day reduced breast cancer recurrence by 36 percent, regardless of other dietary factors. Putting this into practice, if the last meal of the day ends at 6 p.m., the first meal of the next day would not begin before 7 a.m.

In addition to this “prolonged nightly fasting,” Sears says that when we eat affects the way our bodies handle calories. She recommends eating during the first half of the day, when the sun is up and our enzyme and hormone systems are best able to handle calories, control blood sugar and body weight.

Spring forward with these five tips and enjoy better health.

You Are Where You Eat Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery/Bistro

by Suzie Agrillo

e’re not just what we eat, but also where we eat, and the Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery/Bistro is the go-to destination for gluten-free dining in Tucson. Whether seeking an early morning breakfast, weekend brunch or a delicious lunch, Gourmet Girls, owned by the dynamic duo of Susan Fulton and Mary Steiger, has something for everyone.

Everything we crave is handcrafted with the freshest ingredients, and they cater to people with food allergies other than gluten. “Even if a guest doesn’t see anything on the menu they think they can eat, we’re really accommodating,” Fulton emphasizes. “Anyone with food allergies who feels overwhelmed and wants to come in can get friendly advice here. Our staff is very knowledgeable and sensitive to the dietary needs of our guests.”

Gourmet Girls has consistently been

Tucson Edition

recognized as the best gluten-free restaurant in Tucson, and has won numerous awards for its food. Most recently, they won the judges’ choice prize for best dessert at the Cookies & Cocktails Girl Scout fundraiser. Their cupcakes are also a very popular item, especially the Carrot, Chocolate Decadence and Loving Lemon cupcakes.

The restaurant participates in a cooking television spot every Friday, either on KVOA or KOLD. This summer, they will be featured in a televised “Create a Cupcake” contest, where the television viewers and guests at the restaurant can submit flavor combinations for the cupcake, filling, frosting and garnish. Gourmet Girls will bake the finalist cupcakes and the contestant who submits the winning flavor combination, selected by a panel of celebrity judges, will receive a dozen cupcakes and recognition on the TV show.

For breakfast at Gourmet Girls, one can start with a Mimosa or a Bloody Mary, then indulge in one of their most popular entrees, such as blueberry pancakes, spiced pumpkin bacon waffles or eggs benedict.

The bistro even serves the quintessential dish of chicken fried steak and eggs. For lunch, sample one of their seasonal sandwiches or salads. Try the signature Sonoran Sandwich on flatbread with turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, rosemary mayo and pesto. Afterward, sweeten any mood with a chocolate cupcake or a frosted caramel cinnamon roll.

The girls are continually creating new products, though the conversion from gluten-full recipes to their gluten-free counterparts can be a challenge. “To start with, we take recipes containing wheat flour and substitute one of our in-house created gluten-free flour blends. Usually, further tweaking is required, perhaps adding more liquid or adjusting the fat ratios.

It’s a delicate process, since we never want to just add more sugar or fat,” explains Fulton. “And we still have our share of failures, so home bakers shouldn’t feel discouraged when they have a disappointing result.”

One area in which their experimentation has resulted in great success is with wedding cakes. “We make a lot of glutenfree wedding cakes, and not to brag, but we hear all the time that ‘it was the best wedding cake I’ve ever had,’” says Fulton.

Eating gluten-free involves assiduously avoiding wheat, rye, barley and spelt. “It requires mindful eating and cautious reading of every label. Gluten can be in surprising things. There might even be gluten in a can of enchilada sauce,” comments Fulton.

“Mindful eating can be a good thing for everyone, whether following a gluten-free diet or not.”

Many people who are gluten-free also need to avoid dairy products. “Almost all of our breads are dairy-free, and we always have three to four dairy-free gourmet cupcakes and cookies, as well as special order items,” Fulton notes. Plus, the girls have expanded their line of vegan products and added keto-friendly options, thanks to the creative touch of baker Tachena Winterhalter, who delights in experimenting with both varieties of products.

For those traveling and eating glutenfree, Fulton recommends utilizing the app “Find Me Gluten Free”. Lesa Jensen, a longtime bakery/bistro guest turned

employee, also recommends The G-Free Diet by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a book about living life without gluten and loving it.

Eating gluten-free is becoming a more widespread dietary change, perhaps because there is more awareness about the dangers of gluten. “Gluten has been implicated as a root cause of inflammation, which we all want to avoid. You can look at starting a gluten-free lifestyle as a journey toward optimizing your health,” says Fulton. Gluten-free or not, the girls encourage all to visit the bakery/bistro because as they like to say, “You don’t have to be glutenfree to love Gourmet Girls.”

Planet Earth Has a Flag

A new project by Oskar Pernefeldt, a graduate student at Beckmans College of Design, in Stockholm, Sweden, has designed a new flag for the entire planet to be used worldwide in a move toward unity. Its minimalist design shows seven rings intertwined on a deep, sea-blue background, forming a flower in the middle. Simple and contemporary, the flag evokes the Earth’s natural beauty.

“The blue field represents water, which is essential for life,” writes Pernefeldt. “The flower’s outer rings form a circle which could be seen as a symbol of Earth as a planet, and the blue surface could represent the universe.” The flag has yet to be adopted by any official government agencies.

atural Healing Facilitator Michelle Cardenas, of Bright Way Wellness, uses a variety of modaliMichelle ties to assist clients Cardenas on their journey to better health. Her philosophy is that healing and wellness occurs through the engagement of positive universal energy using the power of nature.

Reiki is the foundation of her work, which brings effective results in healing body, mind and spirit.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that calls upon the universal energy that is all around us and is delivered with a light touch of the hand.

It is so effective that touch is not always used; a hover technique is just as effective. Reiki can also be sent into the past or future and across distances.

Anyone can learn and use reiki immediately. It is not a religion or a belief system. Reiki is perfect for pairing up with other healing techniques and medical health care, as it has no side effects.

Cardenas’s passion is to share this healing modality with others in the form of comprehensive classes.

Each class is structured for open discussion, learning the technique and practicing the modality with self and others. Cardenas is an Advanced Usui Reiki Master Teacher and feels that reiki should be accessible to all. She offers affordable classes each month.

THE POWER OF TEA

by Jeffrey Green

T

here are hundreds, if not thousands, of different teas available on the market today. Which is the best? It depends on how tea is being defined, and the purpose for choosing the drink. There are basically two categories of tea: true tea and herbal tea.

True tea consists of varieties made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush, commonly known as the tea tree, tea shrub or tea plant. Such teas include black tea, green tea, oolong tea and white tea, and may have other ingredients added for flavor.

Herbal tea is not really tea at all because it doesn’t contain any tea leaves. Herbal tea is made up of ingredients such as spices and herbs, flowers, fruit, bark, roots and other organic vegetation.

True tea, one of the most popular drinks in the world, second only to water, has medicinal value, and has been shown through research-based data to help the body ward off disease and illness because of the high levels of antioxidants in the leaves.

According to BlackTeas.com, Chinese folklore says that tea was discovered almost 5,000 years ago by Shennong, a Chinese Emperor in the 2700s BC. The story goes that a servant of Shennong was purifying water by boiling it for the emperor to drink. Leaves from a nearby tree, which may or may not have been the Camellia sinensis bush, blew into the pot of hot water. When Shennong tasted the drink, he found it to be enjoyable. Tea was discovered.

Herbal tea does not contain any part of the Camellia sinen30

sis plant, which disqualifies the beverage from being a true tea.

Instead, herbal tea is any drink in which water is infused with the essence of other organic matter, including flowers, herbs and spices. Herbal tea is also known as tisane, which is pronounced tee-zahn. There are two etymologies as to where the word tisane originated. In Greek, ptisanē is defined as a medicinal drink made from barley-soaked water. In French, the word tisans literally means “tea without tea”.

The practice of mixing water with spices and herbs dates back to prerecorded time, especially when preparing it specifically for medical treatment. One of the first recorded entries of the popularity of tea dates back to 1550 BC in the Egyptian Ebers papyrus. Egyptians used tea to pay tribute to the gods, prepare the dead for burial and cure the afflicted. Herbs like dill and basil were prepared into tisanes to help digestion and to aid with heart issues.

With countless plant material combinations, how is it that a comprehensive list of benefits from the many different types of blends came to be? It is believed that Shennong discovered that chewing the leaves and other parts of different plants produced beneficial outcomes for certain maladies. For years, Shennong experimented and made what scholars would today call numerous medical breakthroughs. Apparently, even after chewing on poisonous plants, a combination of certain herbs and spices in water acted as an antidote for the poison.

For the last 5,000 years, tea (whether true tea or herbal tea) has been traveling the world spreading its goodness and healing qualities. Through the years and with discovery after discovery, the list of medicinal benefits of tea has continued to grow. Tea was first brought to the early colonists in 1650 by Peter Stuyvesant. The early settlement of New Amsterdam, known today as New York City, consumed more tea in 1670 than all of Europe combined. So how did coffee become the drink of choice over tea in this country?

Before the U.S. became its own country, English rule made it difficult for the colonists by taxing products and services provided by the Motherland. In 1763, England won the French and Indian War. It was costly. In 1767, England decided to recoup some of the cost from the war by increasing taxes on the colonists who were building this country under English control. The predominantly tea drinking settlers were outraged by the high tax and revolted against the British. The Boston Tea Party was when tea, valued at almost 10,000 silver pieces, was thrown into the harbor in rebellion of the tax. This event was the catalyst for the American Revolution. Tea was at the center of, and

indirectly responsible for, America winning its freedom from England.

With its long history and wide array of uses, tea has become a staple for many around the world. There are as many medicinal benefits of tea as there are different kinds of herbs and plants, flowers and stems, roots and bark on the planet. It is an elixir that can aid in the treatment of, and even cure of, many ailments, conditions and diseases of the body, mind and spirit. Tea’s power is highly regarded in the medical community throughout Asia and Europe, and is becoming more popular in the U.S. as an alternative health device. Its presence in the world is strong enough to even help in the creation of a new country. Perhaps someday, tea will again be the drink of choice for most Americans, either for the great taste or for the medicinal value.

Walnut Leaves Improve Diabetic Health In a double-blind study of 40 Type-2 diabetes patients, Iranian researchers gave half of them 200 milligrams of an extract of walnut leaf (Juglans regia) for eight weeks and the other half a placebo. Although the walnut leaf extract had no significant effect on their blood glucose levels or insulin resistance, it significantly lowered systolic blood pressure and body weight in the patients.

GOOD TO KNOW

The Metaphysical Side of Tea Leaves Ancient Chinese tea drinkers began to analyze and interpret the shapes and positioning of the tea leaf remnants in the bottom of their tea cups and noticed something remarkable. Reading tea leaves became a method of divination. In the 1600’s, tea became an import throughout Europe, and the practice of foretelling one’s future from tea leaves was carried across the sea and into other expanding continents.

Because of the large number of effects that tea has on the body, tea drinking is regarded as a unique and individual experience. There seems to be a tea that can help with any illness. With so many different combinations, flavors and blends, tea can be made specifically for what someone is seeking—either an enjoyable beverage, a mixture to combat illness and disease, to calm the troubled mind and spirit or to create a metaphysical drink that transcends time and place.

Some believe that because of the individual experience and personal connection to the tea, the drinker influences the movement and ultimate placement and pattern of the leaves. The palette of leaves answers questions about the past, present and future of the person who drank the tea. Many who participate in the process, either reading or receiving messages, believe that it is the psychic modality, psychometry. This ability allows a person to receive psychic messages from inanimate objects.

Reading tea leaves, however, involves reading an object which was once animate. The leaves were alive at one point and came from a plant that was very much alive as well. The energy that flows through every living body is interconnected. This connection allows for ethereal knowledge and communication with other planes of existence.

Tea is multipurpose. From beautiful flowers, plants, herbs, bark and roots comes a mystical sensation—tea. Used as the beverage of choice, medical remedy or to foretell the future, tea is known and used the world over, and will continue to reveal its magic to anyone willing to take a sip.

Aromatherapy Soothes Allergies

Scents for Natural Relief

R

esearch from Korea’s ChungAng University has found that inhaling aromatherapy infusions comprising a combination of sandalwood, frankincense and ravensara for five minutes twice daily significantly reduces symptoms of allergies after seven days. The researchers tested 54 men and women, half of which were tested using a placebo of almond oil.

Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) results were both significantly lower in the aromatherapy group. TNSS scores decreased by more than half and RQLQ scores decreased by more than 60 percent. Scores for fatigue and sleep quality also improved in the aromatherapy group.

“These findings indicate that inhalation of certain aromatherapy oils help relieve perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms, improve rhinitis-specific quality of life and reduce fatigue in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis,” Chung-Ang University’s Seo Yeon Choi and Kyungsook Park explain in their paper.

n the battle to stay healthy, and to treat ailments in the most natural way possible, balms are surfacing as one of the best alternative ways to do just that. As discussed in last month’s issue, topicals are becoming more and more popular. As research and testing continue to increase on the benefits of the marijuana plant, more ways to use the medicine are being discovered.

This medicine, and this treatment, does not include inhaling, eating or injecting. CBD Balm is a safe and all-natural topical which is bringing medical treatment to a new level.

The balm that is pictured above, produced by Global Xtracts, is a phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil balm. Its all natural ingredients are beeswax, medium chain triglycerides (a medical food derived from fatty acids and safflower oil), lavender essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil. That’s it, nothing else. There are no chemicals that could cause an adverse reaction. The balm is safe with no side effects.

Because of the cannabinoid rich oil, the balm can be applied to areas of the body where needed and absorbed. The cannabinoids activate the endocannabinoid systems throughout the body. This system is responsible for sleep, appetite, digestion, hunger, mood, motor control, immune function, reproduction and fertility, pleasure and reward, pain, memory and temperature regulation. Many illnesses and disease stems from an imbalance within one or more of these functions. By applying this balm and activating those systems, it gives the body another line of defense.

All-natural, pure, tested and proven, CBD Balm is a safe alternative to pharmaceuticals to relieve, and sometimes even cure, illness and disease.

CBD Balm can be found exclusively at Earth’s Healing Dispensary, conveniently located at 2075 E. Benson Hwy. and 78 W. River Rd., in Tucson. Connect at EarthsHealing.org. See ad, page 31.
