t seems there is someone battling cancer everywhere we turn these days. What used to be a shocking diagnosis has become so common, it’s disheartening. We know many contributing factors to cancer already and hopefully heed the warnings—don’t smoke, use sunscreen, don’t drink to excess, eat right, avoid chemicals, exercise… The list goes on and on, and it seems as though the recommendations are, as well. This month, we break down the basics of naturally preventing and healing cancer, in “Live Cancer-Free”, on page 26. Learn about the importance of comprehensive prevention, avoiding inflammation and living a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory food pyramid further breaks down his recommendations for eatHolly Baker, publisher ing to avoid illness. Don’t forget: a positive mindset is also key to health! On page 44, we meet Social Psychologist Ellen Langer, who describes “How Changing Your Thinking Changes Everything”. Mental constructs can have a huge impact on the outcomes, Langer explains: “When a physician makes a diagnosis, most people take it as a certainty and behave accordingly. Assuming that pain, decline or failure is inevitable can cause an individual to give up hope of complete recovery. But science only suggests probabilities, and if we understand this, we’ll go to work on a solution.” As always, our local Tucson experts are on hand to provide their own words of advice and encouragement. Starting on page 30, Lynda Witt explains a better way to screen for cancer—and detect it earlier—with thermography, and Patti Thompson describes how hypnotherapy works for medical support with cancer patients, easing the side effects of chemotherapy, decreasing pain and more. It is my sincere hope that these resources can be of some help and comfort to those currently going through cancer treatment, those helping loved ones through it and those hoping to prevent its occurrence.

e all seem to know someone with cancer, an autoimmune disorder, an infection, EBV, shingles or other such illnesses. All these conditions and more may benefit from medical-grade Ozone Therapy. Ozone has been around for over 100 years, has scientific international recognition and is a safe and effective treatment against bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungus and parasites. Ozone stimulates oxygen metabolism supporting the immune system. The way Ozone kills unhealthy cells (like cancer), and not healthy cells is through enzymes. All healthy cells have three enzymes that protect them from being oxidized. All healthy cells require oxygen to operate properly. Unhealthy cells don’t have these enzymes to protect them from being oxidized. This makes all unhealthy cells, including cancer, defenseless to ozone. Ozone gives our cells more energy and reduces inflammation and acidity. It can also support detoxification in the body. By raising the amount of oxygen in the blood and cells, it is an “anti-aging” therapy. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s issue(s), so it is not simply a one-size-fits-all method. Ozone can be applied to the skin for diabetic ulcers, put in the blood to give a local effect or a full-body effect, used in the ears for earaches or sinus infections, and can also be injected into joints for pain relief and healing. Dr. DeeAnn G. Saber is a naturopathic doctor at Transformational Medicine PLLC, with Basic and Advanced certifications in Ozone Therapy, as well as Ozone Injection Therapy.

Structural Assessment 101: An Introduction to Possibility

achary Saber, LMP/MFR, will offer a Structural Assessment class from 2 to 6 p.m., August 19, at WellnessFirst!, in Tucson. This class is about helping to understand what the body is telling us, and is designed to assist us in beginning to understand what we’re looking at and where to focus our work toward making healthy changes, as well as how to see from a different perspective. “When meeting a client for massage Zachary Saber they often tell you something specific is bothering them; being able to assess their structure helps you to better understand and see where the problem originates— not just where it presents. You’ll provide better results for your client by knowing where to focus your work, regardless of the type of massage you offer, because by being able to identify these patterns, you’re able to help them better express themselves to the world around them,” explains Saber. “You’ll learn from how your client stands, sits or walks and moves as well as the impact it’s having on them.” The class, limited to 10 people, is open to all modalities of bodywork or curiosity. Refreshments are provided. No CEUs for this class. Cost: $50 per person. Location: 3861 N. 1st Ave., Tucson. Call 520-232-4585 to reserve a space by August 15. See ad, page 3. 10

newsbriefs The Voyage to Well-being: Vegan Caribbean Cruise Celebrates 15 Years of Sailing

ince 2004, Holistic Holiday at Sea vegan cruise has welcomed more than 15,000 guests with opportunities that meet each person wherever they are on their journey to health. Often described as a lifechanging conference, vacation and wellness retreat all-in-one, Holistic Holiday at Sea combines classes from plant-based leaders; fitness and mindfulness workshops; exotic ports of call; and gourmet food—all centered on the topic of plant-based nutrition and lifestyle. The next voyage takes place February 15–25, 2018. Holistic Holiday at Sea president Sandy Pukel came up with the idea after four decades of conducting health educational programs in Miami, Florida. He stands by the idea that “no one minds learning when they’re having a good time.” In 2004, the first ship set sail from Port Everglades with 410 people. Next year, organizers expect to host more than 1,850 guests for the 15th anniversary cruise which will feature 40+ presenters and 150+ classes. Presenters include some of the world’s leading authorities in holistic health and animal advocacy, including Drs. T. Colin Campbell, Michael Greger, Neal Barnard and Michael Klaper, as well as Rip Esselstyn, Ingrid Newkirk and Gene Baur. For the 2018 cruise The MSC Divina will depart from Miami, Florida, and head to the following ports of call in the Eastern Bahamas: St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda; Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis; Fort-de-France, Martinique; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands; and Freeport, Bahamas. National Geographic Traveler has chosen Holistic Holiday at Sea as “one of the 100 best worldwide vacations to enrich your life.” From dance parties to ice cream socials, there is no shortage of opportunities to make new friends and enjoy all the onboard amenities. Holistic Holiday at Sea is located at 434 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables, FL. For more information, call 1-800-496-0989 or visit HolisticHolidayAtSea.com. Please mention you heard about the cruise through Natural Awakenings. See ad, page 33.

Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm at Loft Cinema

he Loft Cinema will present Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm, at noon, on August 27. One of the screen’s grandest epics, this monumental story recounts the true-life experiences of T.E. Lawrence, better known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia. A young, idealistic British officer in WWI, Lawrence (Peter O’Toole) is assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), an Arab tribal chieftain and leader in a revolt against the Turks. Huge, gorgeous and dramatically gripping, Lawrence of Arabia is as close to perfect as epic cinema can get and was made to be seen on the big screen in 70mm. With a greater aspect ratio and higher resolution than 35mm film, 70mm is sharper, richer and more immersive—the ultimate in film projection. In a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Lawrence leads 50 of Feisal’s men in a tortured three-week crossing of the Nefud Desert to attack the strategic Turkish-held port of Aqaba. Following his successful raids against Turkish troops and trains, Lawrence’s triumphant leadership and unyielding courage gain him nearly god-like status among his Arab brothers. Director David Lean’s career masterpiece, lensed to sweeping perfection by Freddie Young and set to Maurice Jarre’s majestic score, won seven Academy Awards (including Best Picture), cemented Peter O’Toole as one of Hollywood’s favorite leading men, and features a stellar cast including Claude Rains, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif. Location: 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson. For more information, call 520-795-7777, email Info@LoftCinema.org or visit LoftCinema.org. See ad, page 22.

he Tarot is another ancient divination tool that was developed between 1420 and 1440 in Italy, about 70 years after playing cards were created. The cards are made up of the major arcana, or the Fool through the World card. The major arcana represent the big questions such as, “What is my spiritual path?” or “What gifts do I have to offer?” The second part of the deck is the minor arcana, or the court cards and the numbered cards, aces through tens. These cards represent people who are in or are coming into our lives, and everyday cycles we experience. The cards represent archetypes, and when we pick the cards, we are tapping into our subconscious as well as the collective unconscious, which holds all the answers. Another way we tap into this awareness is through dreams or meditations, but the cards we have access to on a daily basis.

When we get a reading from a professional, we can get answers and insight into a current (perhaps stressful) situation. It can reveal the energy around us and the people who can help or hinder the situation. Readings are good for a three- to four-month period, and one should try not to ask open-ended questions, but rather be clear and specific. Tarot is a great tool and the investment is minimal. A visual and intuitive person might be keen to buy a deck and take a class. Shivani Baker has 30 years of experience as an Astrologer, Tarot reader and teacher. She offers readings in person, by phone or Skype. A 6 week Tarot Class will be starting on Sunday, September 2. Connect at 413-313-5677 or ShivaB01073@gmail.com. See ad, page 37.

Complementary Massage Team Brings a Soulistic A New Way To Help Heal Touch to the Table

erving as a destination health resort spa in Tubac for a variety of healing modalities, the Soulistic Healing Center features the complementary licensed massage therapist team of MaritaSeen ValYan and SanSkritA DellErba. Both have a deep commitment to the healing arts and each has a unique touch they bring to the table. ValYan was trained in British Columbia, Canada and has been MaritaSeen ValYan practicing massage for more than 25 years. She has a passion for the interconnected relationship of the spirit-mind-body and recognizes the value of massage and other healing therapies to facilitate a positive, relaxing and harmonizing environment and encouraging attitude for healing, personal balance and regenerative rest. ValYan is also an interfaith minister and appreciates, respects and encourages each person’s individual potential at all stages of SanSkritA DellErba life. She brings her training as an interfaith minister to each session, keeping at the forefront of her heart and mind loving service to the client’s unique needs and goals. She is also a craniosacral therapist. DellErba is an Arizona state licensed massage therapist and a recent graduate from the Arizona School of Integrative Studies, in Tucson. “I have been blessed to be able to mentor with MaritaSeen after my formal massage training,” says DellErba. “This has helped me to develop a personal mission to mindfully approach my clients with compassion and care, enhancing their well-being with a goal-oriented and multidisciplinary approach to functional integrative health care management.” DellErba is also a 250-hour-certified yoga teacher with formal training in Iyengar alignment-based methods. She has had a gift of touch healing since a young teenager, which her clients recognize. Additionally, she is a singer-songwriter, guitar and mandolin player in the eight-piece band VansGuard.

fter 25 years experience in medical practice and research, Dr. Hannah Hershoff decided to leave her lucrative medical doctor career to create healing jewelry. A phone chat with a cousin who took a trip from China totally changed Dr. Hannah Hershoff’s life. She learned that mystical stones from a remote area of Southeast China near her hometown have incredible spiritual healing properties. After extensive research, Hannah discovered that the key element of the stones is a mineral, JDZ Kaolin, formed millions of years ago. During a long process using local water and fire in a special kiln, the stones not only permanently formed their gorgeous colors and shine, but also gained their five natural elements. This information excited Hannah enormously leading to her decision to test the spiritual healing effects of the stones. She created her bracelets with these stones and gifted or sold to people with various levels of spirituality. A few weeks after wearing these eye-catching bracelets, three out of four individuals reported they gained confidence, improved their self-image, sensed more connections to loved ones and experienced a noticeable reduction in anxiety. A year later, Hannah and her husband started a company and named their JDZ kaolin comprised pieces, Sara Yo Stones. Dr. Hannah Hershoff says, “I am so glad I have made this career change decision, as each day I learn more about how Sara Yo helps people feel better. I am so fortunate to do something I am Sara Yo extremely passionate about!” Currently, the Sara Yo team provides complimentary email healing services based on Chinese Tao philosophy. Their weekly healing messages guide their customers stepby-step to meditate with Sara Yo stones and help transform their lives to new levels.

Effects of Low Level Laser

any have heard of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also called cold or soft laser. This red light therapy is now being used to treat many things including: wound healing, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nerve pain, brain injuries and stroke, stem cell proliferation, gum disease, sports recovery, lymphedema from cancer and more. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works. The wavelength of red light stimulates the mitochondria of our cells to produce ATP, which is the fuel for all cellular processes. Thus, with more fuel, the cells have more ability to work, heal and repair. This red wavelength inhibits the ability of viruses and bacteria to survive. LLLT can also be used to treat acupuncture points. Probably one of the more profound effects is softening scar tissue, which aids in treatment for chronic conditions like myofascitis, sports and work injuries and post-surgical scars.

Chinese Fungi Relieve Asthma Suffering

esearchers from Capital Medical University, in Beijing, China, tested the effectiveness of Cordyceps sinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine derived from fungi, on the treatment of patients with moderate-tosevere asthma. They followed 120 subjects, divided into two groups of 60. One group received a capsule containing 1,200 milligrams of Cordyceps sinensis three times daily for three months. The control group was treated with conventional medications. Health-related quality of life was measured, along with the incidence of asthma exacerbation, pulmonary function and inflammation indicators in both groups. The Cordyceps sinesis group reported reduced asthma symptoms, improved lung function, a better inflammatory profile and an overall better quality of life when compared to the conventional treatment group.

Massage Relieves Chronic Back Pain

esearchers from Indiana UniversityPurdue University, in Indianapolis, set out to find out if massage therapyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;typically an out-of-pocket expense not covered under most insurance plansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can provide effective treatment for individuals suffering with chronic back pain. The study followed 76 primary care patients with chronic back pain for 24 weeks. The researchers measured pain, disability and quality of life at the beginning of the study, after 12 weeks and again after 24 weeks of massage therapy. Each patient was referred to a licensed massage therapist for 10 no-cost sessions in a real-world environment during the initial 12 weeks. More than half of the patients that completed the core study reported clinically meaningful improvements for physical and mental measures. For bodily pain, 40 percent were clinically improved. Older adults and Baby Boomers reported the highest percentage of changes. Plus, the study found that sufferers that avoided taking painkillers were twice as likely to experience reduced pain than those using opioids.

Lower Mercury Levels Tied to Drop in Coal Emissions Levels of highly toxic mercury contamination in Atlantic bluefin tuna are rapidly declining, a trend that has been linked to reduced mercury emissions in North America, according to a new study published in Environmental Science & Technology. Average mercury concentrations dropped by more than 2 percent per year, for a total decline of 19 percent between 2004 and 2012. Scientists believe that most of that reduction has occurred because of a shift away from coal, the major source of mercury emissions, to natural gas and renewable fuels. Pollution control requirements imposed by the federal government have also cut mercury emissions, but these have been rolled back or eliminated by President Trump’s commitment to “bring back coal.” Source: Scientific American

Tiny Robots Seen as Tech Fix for Reduced Bee Population Harvard University researchers led by engineering professor Robert Wood have introduced the first RoboBees—bee-sized robots that can ascend and hover in midair while tethered to a power supply. The project is a breakthrough in the field of micro-aerial vehicles. It has previously been impossible to pack all the components onto such a tiny workable robot framework and keep it lightweight enough to fly. The researchers believe that within 10 years, RoboBees could artificially pollinate a field of crops, a critical development if the commercial pollination industry cannot recover from the severe bee losses of the past decade.

CREATE A LOVE NEST

Set Out a Welcome Mat for a Soulmate by Arielle Ford

ust as we need to create space in our daily schedule to nurture a new relationship, we must create space in our home to welcome in new love. It’s called “feathering the nest”. Think about the first time that our soulmate will walk into our home—what they will they see, smell and feel. Even an inviting, cozy environment may need an upgrade. The underlying vibration or feeling of a place reflects the home’s energy. Whatever has happened there since its beginning, including arguments, illnesses or times of loneliness, have all left an unseen layer of negative energy. You could say that the walls “talk”. To begin preparing our home to welcome a mate, first remove the clutter. Piles of magazines, stacks of unshelved books and excessive furnishings are blocking and keeping in old energy and preventing good, clean new energy from flowing. Be sure to remove all photographs and souvenirs that are reminders of past lovers; throw them away or put them in a box away from your home. These daily, unconscious memory triggers keep you stuck in the past. Clearing everything out is like putting out a cosmic welcome mat to the Universe that we are now ready, willing and available to receive new love. Next, it’s time to dispel the unseen energies. The fastest, easiest method is the Native American technique of smudging. The smoke will purify the space. Light a piece of white sage on a small plate and when it is smoking (not flaming) run the smoke up, down and around every room, closet, door and window frame throughout the entire home. Alternatively, on a sunny day, open all the doors and windows and, applying a broom and imagination, sweep out the old energies. Just as nature abhors a vacuum and calls in matter to fill the empty space, so making space in our home assists in calling in love. Consciously create “space” by placing an empty nightstand on “their” side of the bed, plus have at least one empty dresser drawer waiting for them. Create inviting space in a closet and clear a shelf in a bathroom cabinet. If we have a two-car garage and have been parking in the middle, pick a side and begin only parking on “our side”. The most essential ingredient to “feathering the nest” is a strong intention to remove any old, outdated, limiting or negative energies that may be preventing love from finding its way to our door. Once free from unwanted clutter and obstructions, it becomes our sanctuary of vibrant, attractive energy. Arielle Ford is the author of 11 books, including Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate and The Soulmate Secret: Manifest The Love of Your Life With The Law of Attraction. Her latest, Inkspirations: Love By Design, is a transformational coloring book. She lives in La Jolla, CA. Learn more at SoulmateSecret.com.

e often think that more action is required when we aren’t reaching the success we want to see. While more action certainly can offer more results, sometimes it can actually delay the result we crave. There is a simpler way. A lot of research has come about regarding energy-medicine as well as energy-shifting. We have human bodies that are surrounded by an energetic field (the debate is still out on how far it really extends), and this energetic field is constantly interacting with our surroundings. Learning to leverage this energetic field toward any goal we have does propel it forward at a much faster rate and feels good in the process. Sometimes we find that more action doesn’t actually feel good; it can lead to overwhelm, confusion and indecision. So how do we tap into this invisible part of ourselves for maximum benefit? When we set out to accomplish any goal, we need to identify what feeling it is that we are after. The simplest way to categorize any goal we set is to identify whether we are: a) moving toward pleasure (better feelings) or b) away from pain (negative feelings). Once the feeling is identified, work toward generating it ahead of time. Denisse Cabrera So, if it is weight loss you want to feel more confident, begin engaging in thoughts or activities that already generate confidence. Rather than focusing on how bad you feel because of all the foods you “shouldn’t be having”, see yourself already having lost five pounds. This is creating results based on where we “live” energetically. In other words, if our energy is parked in negative emotion, that is where we are creating from. If nothing else, we are creating more resistance to what we do want, while parking our energy in positive emotion opens the flow to what we want and decreases resistance. Give it a try for two weeks and see goals reach improved results. Connect with Denisse Cabrera at RiseAboveItCoach@gmail.com. See ad, page 16.

Meditating Raises Spirits More than a Vacation

PopTika/Shutterstock.com

cientists from the University of California at San Francisco, and Harvard Medical School, in Boston, tested the effect of vacations and meditation on the genes of 64 women between the ages of 30 and 60 that were novice meditators. They all spent six days at the same resort in California. Half participated in a meditation program that included yoga, self-reflection exercises and mantra meditation; the other half did not engage in onsite meditation. The researchers also studied a group of 30 experienced meditators already participating in the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meditation program. Blood sample tests and surveys from all 94 women were conducted at intervals: once right before their stay, once right after, a third one month post-vacation and then 10 months after the trip. All the women displayed significant changes to their molecular network pattern after the six days, with the most substantial genetic changes related to immune function and stress response. One month after the resort experience, all groups continued to display improvements. However, the novice meditators showed fewer symptoms of depression and stress for a significantly longer period than the women not participating in the meditation exercise.

sulting, to advancing integrative medicine as the new standard of care. His mission is to open minds to the idea that knowledge, empowerment and self-efficacy are our best allies against a life-limiting diagnosis, and we can do much to help the healing process. Writing to Joe Biden regarding the vice president’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, he candidly describes America’s present cancer-friendly environment. “The public has become conditioned to existing in a broken food chain that remains in disrepair due to misguided farming subsidies [and] untested or otherwise questionable chemicals (many of which are banned in other countries) that are present in the water we drink, the air we breathe, food we consume

prevent, improve and avert recurrences of chronic disease. “Cancer hijacks the angiogenesis process triggered by inflammation and keeps it permanently activated to ensure that cancerous cells receive a dedicated, uninterrupted blood supply,” explains Mydlach-Bero. For three years, she largely consumed only items from the list of angiogenesis-inhibiting foods now posted at KathyMydlachBero.com/food-research. These include green tea, strawberries, blackberries, red tart cherries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, grapefruit, lemons, tomatoes, cinnamon, purple potatoes, kale, grape seed oil and pomegranate. In 2008, she completely replaced both the drugs to combat the side effects of chemo and radiation and a long-term medication for preventing recurrence with healthful foods. Her physicians were admittedly uncomfortable with her decision to combine chemotherapy and radiation treatments with “food as medicine”, reiki, prayer, meditation, mindfulness and supplement intervention. But that didn’t deter her. To awaken others to the practicality of food as medicine, she founded NuGenesis Farm, in Pewaukee, a nonprofit modeled after her home practice.

epidemic, is missing from conventional medicine. Leading voices include Dr. Andrew Weil, founder and director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the College of Medicine, University of Arizona (AzCIM), in Tucson; Dr. Carlos M. Garcia, founder of Utopia Wellness, near Tampa, Florida; advocate Susan Silberstein, Ph.D., founder of BeatCancer.org, in Richboro, Pennsylvania; and Ajay Goel, Ph.D., director of the Center for Epigenetics, Cancer Prevention and Cancer Genomics at Baylor University Medical Center’s Research Institute, in Dallas. Weil pioneered the earliest efforts to develop a comprehensive curriculum in evidence-based integrative medicine and the field of integrative oncology. “We’ve known for nearly 15 years that inflammation is the root cause of many

chronic diseases. Since 2012 scientific evidence has proven that a healthy lifestyle and an anti-inflammatory diet can influence various cancers,” says Weil. His curriculum for health professionals and the general public was the first to cite the role of a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet in cancer prevention and treatment. “Health professionals graduate armed with a better understanding of the complex interactions between cancer, gut microbiome and nutrition,” advises Weil, whose paradigm inspires his chain of True Food Kitchen restaurants. It includes lots of fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of whole or cracked grains, al dente pasta, healthy fats and plant-based proteins from legumes, nuts and seafood as well as poultry and lean, antibiotic-free grassfed meats, cheese and eggs. Plus, he likes white, green and oolong teas, fresh herbs and spices, up to two glasses of red wine a day (less for women; possibly none for those at high-risk for breast cancer), and dark chocolate for antioxidant polyphenols. Integrative Oncology, authored by Weil and Dr. Donald I. Abrams, an integrative oncologist, is mandatory reading for AzCIM students that learn to use complementary interventions in prevention and conventional cancer care. Subjects such as antioxidants, cannabinoids, energy medicine, mind-body medicine, music and expressive art therapies are covered, as well as naturopathic oncology, plus the roles that community and spirituality play in prevention and treatment. Goel’s 20-year career in cancer prevention research has produced a wealth of related articles. Among his findings, he advises, “Curcumin, a yellow compound extracted from turmeric, has become a gold standard for prevention and the natural treatment of many chronic health conditions, including colon cancer. It targets cancer stem cells, disrupts cancer cell communication, triggers cancer cell death and helps to prevent August 2017

cancerous mutations to cells. It’s also been shown to improve the efficacy of conventional treatments including fewer adverse effects.” He recommends only taking turmeric products with BCM-95 percent active curcuminoids.

Customized Protocols

Considering each individual’s biological individuality as a Petri dish, Garcia’s studies help achieve an anti-cancer life. He advises, “There is no ‘one size fits all’ medical protocol box for cancer treatment. Customized modifications to lifestyle and diet are required because food nutrients directly impact the mechanisms by which cancer cells grow and spread. The right nutrition can reverse a compromised immune system, which research shows is a major contributor to the development of cancer.” Whether for improvement or prevention, Garcia’s patient protocols always begin with a comprehensive evaluation appointment to learn about the individual he is treating. For cancer patients, his two-phase, eight-week program involves immune-enhancing therapies followed by immunotherapy

chemotherapy drugs that are overtaxing the immune system. “Clearing out toxic, stressful emotions that produce acid, weaken the immune system and create an environment for cancer to propagate is essential,” says Seeger. “Fulfilling the body’s requirement for an ongoing healthy nutritional plan that maintains a healing alkaline environment reduces both the risk of a cancer as well as recurrence.” She has observed that when an individual’s aimed to de-cloak the camouflaged healing process has stalled despite their protein coating of wily cancer cells so doing all the right things to improve their the body’s immune system can identify biochemistry, it’s frequently because and destroy them. they haven’t done an emotional detox and lack feeling a spiritual connection to something larger than themselves.

organization provides online holistic cancer coach training for health professionals as well as research-based education and counseling on how to prevent, cope with and beat cancer through immune-boosting holistic approaches. The list of books authored by cancer survivors continues to grow, offering helpful insight into how individuals are negotiating the challenges of their healing journey. Two recent books, Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story, by Psychotherapist Cheryl Krauter, and Cancer Survivorship Coping Tools: We’ll Get You Through This, by Barbara Tako, are particularly helpful regarding the onslaught of toxic feelings and emotions that stress the mind and body—fear, anger, isolation, anxiety, depression and uncertainty, as well as loss and grief. Emphasizing the need for individuals diagnosed with cancer to tell their stories, the authors encourage keeping a journal. The act of getting thoughts and experiences out of the mind and onto paper supports emotional cleansing. “It’s important to share the real story of the emotional storm that is cancer, as well as the ravages of its treatments and invisible, but lingering side effects; to tell the tale of the cancer survivor who is moving from patient to person; and to explore and discover who you are after having faced down your mortality,” Krauter counsels.

Changed Paradigm

Results of the Human Genome Project, as well as the work of Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., stem cell biologist and author of The Biology of Belief, and other epigenetic researchers support the point that “environmental signals” that directly affect our DNA expression include our thoughts, emotions, belief system, exposure to sunlight, exercise and everything we put into our body. Such new science shatters the idea that we are victims of our genes and environment. It shines light on the fact that we have tremendous power to shape and direct our own physical health.

Rethinking Cancer Screening

onventional cancer screenings come with risk factors such as radiation, compression and even injections of gadolinium. With the exception of routine mammograms of asymptomatic women, almost all other imaging is performed on individuals exhibiting symptoms of ill health. The result is a “downstream” approach to disease, meaning people wait until they are sick and have clinical signs of disease before they address their wellness level. This para-

digm is turned upside down with thermography. Thermography is painless, has no contact with the body, is FDA registered and all images are interpreted by board-certified medical doctors. Once a woman’s baseline thermography study is regarded as reliable, this baseline record is used in comparative analysis with all future annual screenings, which will help to detect any early changes that may be occurring in the breast tissue or other regions of the body (liver, colon, thyroid gland, etc.). Thermal imaging is utilized as a tool to watch for changes over time. With continued health, the thermograms remain identical to the initial study. Changes may be identified on follow-up studies that could represent physiological differences within the body that warrant further investigation. It is the early alert that allows for earlier interventions with the potential to make changes to diet, exercise, stress management, etc.—all with the possibility of prevention of unchecked disease progression.

with Patti Thompson

t Sage Path Therapy, Patti Thompson, Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist, offers Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapy to help cancer patients, which uses the mind/ body connection to alleviate fear and anxiety and bring the body back toward healthy balance. Hypnotherapy can also ease the side effects of chemotherapy, speed healing from surgery, decrease pain and support traditional cancer treatment. “The diagnosis of cancer and its treatment cause a profound sense of disequilibrium unrivaled by most other human conditions,” says Thompson. “The feelings of fear and helplessness become reality as the logistics of fighting cancer are handed to medical professionals. In the urgency of dealing with the physical aspect of cancer, other valuable resources are often overlooked.” Balance is the key to health and fighting diseases, she says. “Research supports the mind/body connection as the pathway that promotes balance and well-being. Positive thoughts and emotions trigger the brain to release hormones that support balanced body function. Fear, anxiety and fatigue, often experienced with cancer, shift resources away from balance and hinder the body’s ability to heal and fight back,” explains Thompson. “Hypnotherapy teaches people to access the power of their mind and restore balance and connection in mind and body.” For more information, call 520-444-2725 or visit SagePathTherapy.com.

FREE RADICALS in food are the real villain and lack an electron, thus robbing electrons from healthy cells causing cholesterol to crystalize and brain to form plaque. Oxidation is the death mechanism. What turns an apple brown is the same force hardening brain in dementia and Parkinson’s. Luckily, God has a plan for our healing with food as medicine. ELIMINATING FRIED FOOD is more important than being organic. Top scientists of “International HNE Club” published their latest findings that cholesterol hardens when oxidized by free radicals. French fries in America were found to possess extreme levels of free radicals, HydroxyNonEnal (HNE). In addition to causing cholesterol hardening, HNE radicals high in all fried foods, cause DNA oxidation, which leads to replication of cancer cells instead of healthy cells. 2017 science on fats makes it clear the importance of cutting out fried foods, akin to smoking cigarettes. Butter, coconut and olive oil produce less free radicals when heated. 32

These oils are made of saturated & monounsaturated fats that don’t oxidize easily. Canola and soybean oils have more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are unstable oxidizing faster. In the “Conquering Any Disease” book I provide evidence for returning to a high saturated fat diet and avoiding processed oils. Aside from cooking oils, we get free radical exposure being near car exhaust and factories. Only a high-phytochemical diet can give you effective protection from radical oxidation in your body. Humans can run marathons looking for a cancer cure, yet by avoiding fried oils and eating superfoods humans reverse cancer. Our food protocol for cancer has been used by hundreds of Qigong students with success since 2005. There’s an emphasis on foods to detoxify, but the real effects come from rebuilding blood and reversing oxidation with electron-dense pigments. Pigments are colorful due to having DOUBLE BONDS, which contain four electrons that can be used to “quench radicals”. Neutralization of free radicals by electrons in food pigments is the best way to avoid disease. America is on a low pigment diet! Black sesame seeds contain Melanin, a pigment stored by the Substantia Nigra in the brain where dopamine is made. Colorful pigments in hair signal fertility and many foods are proven by science to regrow hair, such as red onions and red apples.

Carotenoids have the BRIGHTEST COLOR of all pigments and no other molecule is more healing. Eye health, vision and fertility are restored by eating them and they protect against sunburns. Egg yolks have 1mg of lutein per yolk to give it that vivid yellow. Spinach has 10x more lutein than egg yolks by weight, however recent science shows the egg was far more bioavailable. This is because carotenoids are fat soluble and made more bioavailable in the presence of oil. Cooked carrots are shown to have greater blood plasma absorption of betacarotene than raw in humans. I suggest both raw and cooked to obtain maximum benefits. RED carotenoids neutralize free radicals 2x faster than Orange and 4x faster than Yellow! There is a hierarchy and RED is best. Lutein (yellow pigment) has 10 double bonds in its chromophore. Betacarotene (orange) has 11 double bonds and Lycopene (pink) has 13 double bonds. Does it surprise that pink with 13 double bonds is a more effective electron donor than orange with 11? RED FOODS are the most profound evolution to the human diet. When Italy began making tomato paste it spawned great thinkers and strong men. Only peppers (cousin of tomato) evolved the deep red carotenoid called, CAPSANTHIN. I think pepper’s carotenoids being the reddest are the most healing. Since learning the importance of RED carotenoids I’ve made Pepper Paste hundreds of times! I have a pepper problem… We give fresh “Primack Pepper Paste” samples to every person who attends Qi Revolution. Unfortunately, people can’t buy it yet, but we show everyone how to make it.

new paradigm shift regarding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) centers on evolving beliefs about the possibilities for those living with autism, as well as the unimagined brilliance they possess and their need for supportive help. Everyone can benefit from the results of hands-on research and experience by parents and caregivers that are finding nontraditional ways to help special needs children deal with issues related to emotional and cognitive detachment and isolation. Momentum for this major shift in perspective is fueled by young adults that are telling their encouraging stories online and in books such as Carly Fleishman’s Carly’s Voice. Parents of the one in 45 children diagnosed with ASD know that their lifetime commitment requires extraordinary courage, perseverance, patience, determination, emotional strength, outside-the-box thinking and unconditional love.

mental disorders, which they now regard as gifts, because they are thriving. Dr. Andrea Libutti, author of Awakened by Autism: Embracing Autism, Self, and Hope for a New World, offers her insights for understanding the multifaceted nature of autism and the need for a personalized plan for healing. Janice Vedrode, a special needs coach, consultant and child advocate in Saginaw, Michigan, founded Spectrum Speaks and writes at JaniceVedrode. com/blog to inform parents about numerous issues regarding ASD. “Because I live in a town that didn’t have an existing support group for parents with ASD children, I took it upon myself to get the ball rolling and advise parents that they need to build a dream team—doctors, therapists, special needs teachers, spiritual community, friends and family—that will make sure their child succeeds and lives a happy and successful life,” says Vedrode.

A bedrock philosophy in supporting ASD and other special needs children is to assume they are competent and learn to see them through God’s lens, rather than the lens of the world.

you know what is happening between your brain and your body when this reaction happens? Scientists have begun to explore this exact connection between our mind and our gut. A new modern biology is emerging out of the complex study of communication between the brain and the gut when strong emotions are experienced. It is no surprise that every emotion has a corresponding facial expression triggered by signals from the nervous system to the small facial muscles. However, recently scientists have found that at the same time facial expressions are being expressed, the brain is also sending signals to the digestive system.

may bridge and reinforce the most recent modern biology and the mind-gut connection. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners take into account emotional factors when making a diagnosis. In TCM, a patient’s current emotional state has a direct correlation to their organs. For example, the liver is associated with the negative emotion of anger. Resentment, frustration and irritability can arise from that most basic feeling of anger. This rise in negative emotional energy can cause the energy to rise to the head and result in headaches or dizziness. Although emotions are not always believed to be the direct cause of an ailment, there is an undeniable correlation we now know among emotions, organs and the progression of ailments based on the research of the mind-gut-microbiome axis.

Today, scientists are studying the microbiome in the gut—demonstrating the gut and the brain are closely linked through circular, bidirectional signaling pathways that include nerves, hormones and inflammatory molecules.

mon, traditional Western therapies cannot. TCM is unique in its belief that cause and effect are not linear, but circular. This means that the cause of an ailment may be an emotion, but also that an ailment can lead to an emotion. By striving to balance the organ related to the person’s emotional state, the emotion can be balanced as well, and vice versa. Acupuncture is one way to accomplish this re-alignment. And by combining the recognition of the modern-day discoveries and TCM modalities, an integrated TCM practitioner can optimally restore the patient’s health, both mentally and physiologically.

Another example of such findings came out of Caltech, when their research investigators proved brain and gut connection in complex behavior disorders such as autism. They found up to 40 percent of autism patients suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms, mostly altered bowel habits, abdominal pain and discomfort and irritable bowel syndrome. These findings strongly suggest a new treatment paradigm for autism, by focusing on dietary changes and other alternative therapies to heal the gut to alleviate the disorder’s symptoms. Whereas Western medicine uses drugs to provide relief for discomfort, it may take several different drug combinations before a patient finds any comprehensive relief. The side effect of drugs must also be considered in such treatment programs, as it is possible to trade one symptom for another. Addi-

The Rise of Pop-Up Organic Dining

They’re known for serving meals on long tables set up in fields on prairie ranches, in olive groves or fruit orchards, as well as at urban rooftop farms or near vegetable row crops. “Our mission is to get folks out to the farm and honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table,” says organization founder and chef/artist Jim Denevan. More than 90, five-hour events that include appetizers and a guided farm tour are being held all the way through November in more than a dozen states (see OutstandingInTheField.com). “Some of our most popular events feature farmers of the sea, and are set alongside the ocean or other bodies of water,” adds Lisa Supple, publicist for the company. “They feature local fisher people and oyster and abalone farmers.” “Epicurean San Diego offers popup farm dinner events at Dickinson Farm, in National City, California,” explains owner Stephanie Parker (Epicurean SanDiego.com). “We strive to completely source our produce from the farm.” The

he flip side of enjoying farm to table is taking the table to the farm. Socalled “pop-up feasts” are booming at farms throughout the country during growing and harvest seasons. While the format varies, dinners are typically hosted on working rural or urban farms, last about three hours and include aperitifs and a tour before the meal. Wine pairings or beer tastings and live music may be among the enticing activities offered. Gabriele Marewski, owner of Paradise Farms, near Miami, Florida, was a pioneering forerunner of the trend. For 10 years prior to retirement, she hosted more than 50 chefs, served thousands of guests an organic Dinner in Paradise and raised more than $50,000 for area charities. Periodic onsite dinners continue (ParadiseFarms.net). “Many chefs are active in farm-totable dinners on the West Coast. We also see participation among wineries, orchards, cheese makers and breweries,” says A.K.

the origin of what they eat.” “I started Dinner on the Farm nine years ago to create unique experiences that connect people to the places their food is grown and the people that grow them,” says Monica Walch, whose pop-up dinners are served picnic-style for friends and families that bring their own tableware. Her company’s Midwest events, usually offered on Minnesota and Wisconsin farms, always feature local chefs, food ingredients and breweries (DinnerOnTheFarm.com). “There’s nothing like being comfortably seated in the field where your food is growing and having the opportunity to enjoy it just hours after it’s been picked. Then, add in one-on-one conversations with your chef, brewer and farmer, as well as like-minded community members,” observes Walch, who grew up on an organic dairy farm in Minnesota.

Guests enjoy appetizers and cocktails at a Dinner on the Farm event at Primrose Valley Farm, in New Glarus, Wisconsin. veteran-owned, certified organic Dickinson Farm features heirloom fruits, vegetables and herbs grown on a large city lot. “We have focused on urban farms to inspire more people to grow their own food and to show that you don’t have to live on a huge piece of property in the countryside,” Parker notes. Some pop-up feasts are managed directly by local farmers in partnership with lead chefs. Others serve as annual fundraising events, like The Foodshed Alliance’s Farm to Fork Dinner and Wine Tasting, now in its seventh year

Ugly Produce Gains Status Due to customer requests and petitions, more stores are beginning to stock the one in five pieces of produce that never made the cut before due to quirky shapes or other blemishes. Often, these are displayed next to their better-looking, more expensive counterparts to give consumers an ecofriendly choice. The 133 billion pounds worth of misshapen or scarred fruits and vegetables annually plowed under, buried in a landfill or fed to livestock is sharply at odds with the reality that 48 million Americans face food insecurity. Whole Foods Market created a pilot program in some of its California stores, testing sales in April 2016 with Imperfect Produce (ImperfectProduce.com), a service that delivers to homes. Walmart brought weather-blemished apples to 300 of its Florida stores to kick off their imperfect role in the movement.

artist, Gavin Troy. As a kid growing up in Tempe, Troy got hooked on the emerging skateboard path while in elementary school. Talking about the passion of his youth and teen years, he frequently uses words like “freedom” and “letting go”. The early skateboard enthusiasts were seen as outsiders, rebels and those pushing the cultural envelope. As a painter of lyrical, meditative, non-representational “inner landscapes”, Troy is a man of immense courage who has dedicated himself to living a creative life.

How are skating and painting similar and different for you? Skating and painting both involve being able to let go and be totally in the flow of the moment. Both involve opening up to experience true freedom. On a skateboard, it’s like you are carving invisible lines through space. In the studio, by choosing to open my mind, it feels like exploring the unknown world inside. Both painting and skating are non-verbal forms of communication. The biggest difference between the two is the physicality. With skating, your entire body is engaged and involved. In my studio practice, movement is physically minimal, but wide open in the mind.
