ovember and the holiday season always bring up abundant thoughts of gratitude and love for family and friends. As we plan to gather, sharing meals and thanks, and as we look ahead to the busy social season the next couple of months, I’m reminded, once more, that our health and happiness is precious.

Many of us know firsthand the special kind of pain that comes from watching a family member or friend endure the strain of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. We have long been told it is a hopeless, irreversible disease, with no real cure.

However, after reading this month’s feature, “Stay Sharp: Powerful Ways to Avoid Mental Decline” (page 26), I am filled with renewed hope.

Studies have shown that a change in diet Holly Baker, publisher and lifestyle can truly reverse and stave off further effects from dementia. So many of us wish we knew this years ago, but now that we have such promising progress, please share this with your loved ones. Family and friends who may fear their inevitable future of dementia could use some hope and happiness.

Another important issue during the winter months, especially, it seems, is that of depression. According to “Kelly Brogan on the Truth About Depression” (page 36), about 8.3 percent of the American population suffers from depression, but there is a more effective, natural way to help—without drugs.

Whether you’re struggling through an illness yourself, caring for a loved one or looking to the bright, healthy future ahead, take a moment to be thankful for all that you have, the moments we share together and the hope that the best is yet to come.

To the health and happiness of you and yours,

newsbriefs Host a Party with E.P. Salsa & Catering

Fire Pits from AE Recycled Granite

L

oretta Carlson, event coordinator with E.P. Salsa & Catering, provides delicious and reasonable catering for groups as large as 200 to 300, including all services necessary, from set-up to cleanup. Formerly El Parador Restaurant, the family owned and operated business specializes in Mexican and American foods, as well as Middle Eastern, Italian and more. As a special offer, those who book a catering service will receive a complimentary half gallon of salsa and two bags of chips.

“A breakfast or luncheon for a company’s holiday party is a great way to celebrate and saves money because there is no liquor involved,” suggests Carlson. “Exchange gifts and have a special breakfast or luncheon, where you take the rest of the day off after lunch—it’s a great way to celebrate, and the dates Loretta Carlson are usually more open and available.”

Carlson has over 42 years of experience and knowledge on how to plan gatherings from weddings to grand openings. For any meal of the day, the catering company can host at their location, the Shrine Center, or at any venue desired.

E.P. Salsa & Catering also provides a special “thank you” for business catering, in which they thank the people who send them business all year long by delivering lunch to the office.

For more information, call 520-440-0346 or email ElParador@aol.com.

Res-Com Plumbing Co. for Home Repipe Service

P

eople who live in a home that was built more than 20 years ago likely have water pipes that are made of a galvanized pipe, which corrode as time goes on and will require a PEX repipe to prevent further damage, wear and irreversible pipe material corrosion. Res-Com Plumbing offers repiping services, beginning with a thorough examination on the home and plumbing issues, providing the owner with a full estimate on the work required to repipe the home.

If there is a loss of water pressure, discolored water, a slab leak starts or corrosion is found, it is time to upgrade to new pipes.

These important clues can be an early indicator of serious internal pipe corrosion, which may also cause leaks within the home, causing mold and mildew.

Galvanized pipe corrosion will reduce water quality and may cause health concerns. PEX repiping is the removal or bypass of exLuigi isting plumbing pipes, replaced by brand new PEX pipe. This could eliminate expensive and continual plumbing repairs for decades to come. This type of repiping also adds a valuable selling point to potential home buyers.

For more information and a free repipe estimate, call 520-901-0053, email Luigi@Res-ComPlumbing.com or visit Res-ComPlumbing.com.

uring the perfect weather to sit outside by a fire, AE Recycled Granite offers fire pit kits made of recycled granite and sturdy inserts. The kits are easy to assemble from granite pavers, come in various sizes and shapes, and can include a pit insert or grill insert.

“A fire pit is a great way to add ambiance to your backyard giving your family a natural gathering space. It’s amazing what a few crackling logs will do,” enthuses Julie Olauson, owner of AE Recycled Granite. “Will your family talk about the day’s trip, maybe even plan your next one? Will you listen to the crackle, stare at the stars and sip on an amazing glass of Arizona grown wine? The best reading rooms have the softest chairs and the best patios have the warmest pits.”

From Our Readers

“I love how life makes perfect sense when you are not trying to control it. My gene mutations cause me to suffer every day. Modern doctors seem to know very little about this and they keep assuming I have cancer, which I don’t. I came across Natural Awakenings magazine yesterday at the hospital.

Synchronicity is a wonderful thing.

Thanks again for putting your voice out there and extending it to others with like minds. I, for one, appreciate it.” ~ Thomax Green new Natural Awakenings reader

Redirect and Choose a Cleanse

S

heila Shea, director of Intestinal Health Institute, provides the education and resources for clients interested in detoxifying the body by way of various types of cleanses. The key cleanses are bowel, liver, kidney and parasite.

“People put themselves down for being dietary idiots. Redirection is a better option. Take action to redirect energy, efforts and thinking toward deSheila Shea toxification, another component of nutrition. Cleaning up the physical body also cleanses the brain,” says Shea. “Choosing, planning and executing a detoxification program redirects focus and energy to positive behavior.”

According to Shea, clients healing from cancer naturally follow detoxification protocols. Clients struggling with mold, heavy metal and chemical poisoning use colon hydrotherapy, enemas and herbal laxatives to keep toxins flowing out of the body. Some clients use coffee enemas and/or castor oil packs on their intestines and liver to cleanse deeper. Other clients choose a 21-day or 30-day program to go longer into cleansing.

A

healthy computer will help create a sense of well-being and order in its owner. Don Gibbens, owner of GE Computing, offers the Cleanup-Speedup-Update service, which helps to make computer systems work like new and be less likely to be attacked.

“As I have worked with people and their computer systems, I’ve noticed that when the computer is acting unhealthy, the customers are acting unhealthy, also,” says Gibbens. “At the very least, when the computer is running slow, people get frustrated.”

A computer can stop working because of malware or hardware failure, which is why Gibbens says it’s important to have a Don Gibbens backup of important data as a “safety net”. If a computer is stolen or hijacked, he can provide services to get one’s identity back, or to get them started with a “better than new” system that will shield them from future harm.

Those interested in becoming a certified yoga instructor and currently certified instructors will benefit their students from the techniques learned in this program.

Participants in yoga transform their body immediately after class with improved brain function, lower stress levels and increased flexibility; after a few months with lower blood pressure, improved lung capacity, improved sexual function, reduced chronic pain, anxiety relief, lower blood sugar levels in diabetics and improved sense of balance; and after years with strong bones, healthy weight and lower risk of heart disease.

Permanent Makeup from A Lasting Touch

Love to Ride and Tucson Bike More Challenge

Y

vette Dwornik, owner and artist of A Lasting Touch Salon, provides permanent makeup using a gentle hand method. She has 20 years of experience, is physician recommended and offers complimentary consultations. A Lasting Touch is currently offering a special of permanent eyebrows or eyeliner for $299 (regularly $375). Salon is centrally located at The Plaza at Williams Centre, Broadway and Craycroft.

Permanent makeup mimics the look of just-applied lipstick, lip liner, eyebrow pencil and eyeliner, through a process called miYvette cropigmentation, where a tattoo pen is used Dwornik to inject permanent ink into the skin. Each procedure takes between 30 and 120 minutes, and Dwornik uses a topical anesthetic to numb the procedure area to ensure client comfort. Just like any tattoo, initially the color will appear brighter or darker, then will fade. Dwornik enjoys hearing her clients often commenting, “I love my permanent makeup; I wish I would have done this sooner.”

“The most obvious benefit to permanent makeup is waking up every day with your ‘face on’. You can swim, exercise, shower and wake up still looking put together and ready to go. It can be ideal for the woman who is constantly on the go,” says Dwornik. Permanent makeup may be for those who have lost hair due to chemotherapy, accidents, burns or cosmetic surgery; have a difficult time applying makeup due to age or conditions, such as arthritis; or have allergies to traditional makeup or sensitive skin.

Location: 5350 E. Broadway Blvd., Ste. 162, Tucson.

A Farewell Tribute

Come Home to ...

N

atural Awakenings Publishing Corporation’s family of 95 magazines bid a fond farewell to company President Larry Levine, with many joining in on a call and sending notes, prayers and good thoughts prior to his passing on September 23. Levine enthusiastically contributed his all with a host of talents focused on forwarding our collective mission of providing publishers and readers with the tools needed to help us all create a healthier, more sustainable world together.

Founder and CEO Sharon Bruckman honors Larry Levine her partner, saying, “Our home office and publishers are truly saddened to lose the beautifully loving, guiding light that Larry generously shared with us throughout the past 12 years. His impact on our lives and Natural Awakenings‘ success will continue to bless our readers. We will miss him dearly.”

One of Levine’s last gifts to the company was recommending Pat McGroder as vice president of franchise development. “We welcome Pat, already feeling blessed by the 24 years of experience he brings in highly successful publishing and franchising endeavors,” says Bruckman.

McGroder will now also assume some of the operational responsibilities formerly managed by Levine.

Distinguishing Between Depression and Dementia

W

ith the Baby Boomer generation leaping into its older years, dementia is reaching epidemic proportions and unfortunately, depression often occurs with dementia. Understanding this, or that each may stand alone, is an important aspect when grappling with these illnesses.

Depression in a person with dementia can be challenging to diagnose because the symptoms of each disorder are so similar and the diseases often occur simultaneously. However, an individual with dementia may also have difficulty communicating their low mood or feelings of anxiety, causing them to sometimes be wrongly diagnosed with depression.

ANNUAL

Natural Living Directory Tucson Edition The Complete Natural Living Directory our readers will reference all year.

For heightened clarity, there are some key differences to keep in mind.

• Depression tends to develop much more quickly than dementia (over weeks or a few months).

• Problems with speech, reasoning and orientation to time and space are unusual in depression, but are common in dementia.

• A person with depression may occasionally complain of an inability to remember things, but will remember when prompted, whereas a person with dementia (particularly Alzheimer’s disease) will be forgetful and will often try to cover aup memory loss.

• The root cause of impairments in reasoning and memory for depressive indiv iduals is frequently due to poor concentration, which generally resolves when the depression lifts. This is not the case with dementia • Apathy, or lacking motivation to do things, can be a symptom of both depres sion and dementia. However, the person is likely to show other symptoms of depression (such as being tearful) if depression is the cause.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, up to 40 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease also have depression, but experts have yet to uncover the reasons why depression and dementia occur together.

Wendy Annis is the founder of Helping Hands Elder Enrichment Services, where she offers services to individuals with dementia and their caregivers. She utilizes one-on-one techniques which embrace the individual’s personal history, incorporating the arts, which also touch upon the five senses.

Using Spiritual Energy Transformation to Heal Our Own Life

by Johanna Alley

E

veryone has problems in life. Sometimes relationships aren’t working with partners, family, friends or coworkers. We are locked in destructive patterns and cannot seem to break them. It’s easy to feel that there just isn’t any help for these problems, but with Spiritual Energy Transformation, we have the potential to help ourselves.

Throughout history, mankind has had the belief in a higher power or source.

Present day scientists are now studying this connection. Science is proving that we are electrical energy as particles and waves. We have an electrical and magnetic energy grid, in (chakras) and around (aura) our bodies. Matter is now recognized as a form of energy vibrating in different frequencies. Quantum physics is proving that we are all energetically interconnected through thought, i.e., quantum entanglement. Many believe that within our energy matrix reside our Higher Self, guides, angels and much other benevolent energy.

These energy signatures are with everyone in every life lived, working to guide and assist in the fulfillment of their life plan. The Guides patiently wait to be asked for assistance and then gently send messages via intuition to steer them in the right direction. But if they are not aware of these messages or ignore them, they don’t make the best choices. Their lives are so engaged in work, school, phones, etc. that they aren’t aware of or have forgotten that the energy they project is the energy they receive back, and vice versa. Negativity out, negativity in.

If all of this is true and we are spiritual energy in physical form, we can use this energy to heal ourselves. Spiritual Energy Transformation is a tool to bring clients back to the realization of their Source-given potential. During a session, the benevolent energies come in to use the facilitator as a conduit to relay guidance and intuition to which they have not been listening, and to bring healing energy where needed to diminish negative energy and/or amplify positive energy. This is not a “healing”, but a learning experience that will set a client on the healing path, an awakening to their own potential to heal. If the client is open to the guidance, transformation will occur.

Get to Know Gem Silica

by Heidi Wiesenfelder

M

etaphysics, crystals and gems are popular in the Tucson area, and the benefits of various types of stones and gems are fascinating to many. Let’s look at one specific type of stone, Gem Silica, from the general category of chrysocolla.

Chrysocolla is a copper mineral that ranges from turquoise blue to blue-green, and is typically translucent to opaque. Arizona is one of many worldwide sources for chrysocolla, with Gem Silica being a silicated version, meaning it is mixed with quartz. It is valued for its bright and consistent turquoise color and high level of translucency.

Historically, Gem Silica is referenced by ancient Greeks and Egyptians, and was named by Greeks. Gem Silica can be used for many benefits and has varying effects on different aspects in one’s life.

Regarding the chakras, Gem Silica acts mainly through the throat (5th) chakra, with some influence on 4th (heart) and 6th (inner eye). This helps with communication, making it an ideal gem for speakers, teachers and singers.

In Feng Shui terms, chrysocolla is associated with the water element, and Gem Silica is additionally associated with wind. It has a calming effect.

Gem Silica can support our health physically, specifically with the throat and pregnancy/birth. Mentally, it promotes lightheartedness, and allows one to let go of extraneous concerns and focus on what really matters.

Germany to Ban Fracking Permanently txking/Shutterstock.com

The German government has ruled to ban the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for shale gas in the country, but will allow test drilling in certain circumstances, reports Reuters. The industry has lobbied to continue fracking, which involves blasting chemicals and water into underground rock formations to release trapped gas, but strong opposition has persisted throughout the nation, with a powerful green lobby warning of possible risks to drinking water. Germany follows France and Bulgaria, which have already permanently banned fracking.

The temptation to buy inexpensive clothes whispers, “It’s smart to trend with the latest fad,” or “Disposable wear can be tossed if it gets stained,” or “I can wear this outfit only once for a special event.”

The lure to buy future throwaways seems especially prevalent during the holiday season of gifting and gatherings.

Consumers can fall into the cycle of buying from inexpensive chain stores, wearing items a few times and then discarding them during spring cleaning purges.

According to The Atlantic magazine, Americans now buy five times as much clothing annually as they did in 1980, yet recycle or donate only 15 percent of it. They simply discard 10 million tons as waste, reports the Huffington Post.

Conscious consumers consider the extended consequences of their purchases. The production and transporting of an average shirt, for example, can deliver about nine pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reports Eve Andrews, culture editor for Grist.com.

She offers five tips: buy less; shop smarter and only for what’s truly needed; look for durability and design that won’t fall apart or look dated in a few months; decrease frequency of laundering to increase the life of the garment; and donate what no longer works.

Buying items that are durable, timeless and made under fair labor conditions from selected organic, resale and outlet stores that sell high-end clothing that lasts at reduced prices will save money over time and reduce resource abuse and waste. Five top outlet chains for superior and lasting value per a 2016 Consumer Reports readers survey are Bon Worth, L.L. Bean, Haggar, OshKosh B’gosh and Izod.

Quality labels are welcomed by consignment stores, so the wearer can even retrieve some of the purchase price for gently-used classics. Giving used threads to thrift shops, churches, The Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries is another way to extend the life of items, help others and save landfill space. Another option is to cut up portions of clothing earmarked for disposal so they can live on as cleaning rags for home and vehicles.

THE MAGIK TOUCH

by Suzie Agrillo

I

n the heart of downtown Tucson, Kate Becker of Kate’s Magik exudes a creative, daring and pioneering spirit. She creates intent-based essential oil blends and offers a new take on massage that strives to promote wellness on all levels— physical, emotional, spiritual and mental.

As the founder of Kate’s Magik, Becker followed the road less traveled before she found her calling as a therapeutic perfumer and singer-songwriter.

After her parents divorced when she was only four years old, she spent time living between two continents, with her father in New York and her mother in Bern, Switzerland. This geographical divide created emotional turmoil.

Early in her turbulent childhood, Becker started to develop physical illnesses which began with belly aches. When illness became a constant, her mother chose to abandon traditional medicine and instead sought out alternatives, such

as holistic medicine and intention-based healing. Her pain taught her the lessons she needed to learn to become a healer.

Becker opines, “Our challenges are our greatest teachers and our gifts lie within our wounds. All the challenges I’ve had have become my gifts.”

Becker describes how as a child, she always felt she was destined to be on an artistic versus a scholastic path. She relates, “I never liked school. I was drawn to anything artistic. I do come from a family of artists. My father’s a writer, and my mother was the right hand to the Director of the International Bern Jazz Festival. My aunt and uncle were painters and another uncle was a musician, so I knew I needed to find my art.”

While she was young, Becker studied dance—both theatrical and modern.

In her teens, her knees went out, destroying her vision of the future. She pursued photography and acting, but then the

influence of her mother led her to pursue a musical career. After becoming a singer-songwriter, Becker strongly believes in the power of music as medicine for the soul. “My third album was released earlier this year, and it is by far my biggest and best. I feel now like I really belong as a professional artist,” she comments.

The new album, titled Pirate Radio, has a Sonoran/Latin influence and features accompaniment by some of Tucson’s most prolific musicians, including Petie Ronstadt, Michael J. Ronstadt, Salvador Duran and Pete Swan. With her new confidence, Becker belts out her best vocal performance to date.

Back in 2001, Becker visited Arizona during a three-week camping trip and it was love at first sight. “I felt it was home,” she recalls. Becker was in her early 30s when she moved to Tucson in 2002. She had always been drawn to scents and she began to immerse herself in the study of essential oils, spending 14 hours a day in her pursuit of the perfect therapeutic blend. At that time, most of the available perfume oils sold in stores were not natural, but rather synthetic blends.

Becker espouses the healing powers of using the essences of Earth’s natural plants, especially when infused with reiki energy. When she set out to create her initial palate of 20 therapeutic anointing oils and mists, it only took a few tries. Becker reveals, “It just happened. It was almost like in Harry Potter, when you’re not doing anything and it just creates itself. It was magical. That’s why I called it Kate’s Magik.”

Since 2002, her business has taken on its own life. It has experienced exponential growth, and her products are sold around the country and beyond.

With the plethora of massage studios in Tucson, Becker’s studio distinguishes itself with its cutting-edge modalities and nurturing qualities. Becker explains, “Indulging in a massage from Ritual is

more than a traditional massage. It will definitely incorporate traditional massage, including the back, scalp and reflexology, but in addition to that you also get the component of aromatherapy, reiki and intention. It’s a wonderful experience to be treated and taken care of.”

The massage may include a combination of spoken meditations, reiki, mist purifications and chakra alignment.

“Set your intention and visualize how you want to feel when you walk out of the treatment,” Becker advises. “Start with how you feel now, and be specific about your intention of what you want to change in your life, such as a desire to release resentment, blame or selfdeprecation.” There is a vast selection of therapeutic oils/aromatherapy to choose from to help clients remove obstacles and achieve goals, such as “Sun of Success” or “Clarity and Focus”.

Massage recipients have the opportunity to choose their ritual in advance, including options such as “Letting Go”, to let go of negativity, judgment and emotional stagnation; or “Purification and Protection”, which is designed to eliminate negativity, break patterns and addictions, move through grief and prepare for new beginnings. All of the massages are designed to address both the body as well as the recipient’s state of mind.

Becker is grateful to have had the opportunity to create healing tools and beautiful aromas that enrich people’s lives.

With the magic of Kate’s 100 percent Pure and Natural Essential Oil blends, life is sweet smelling and even more beautiful.

my Kalama Hochreiter, owner of Amy Hochreiter Coaching, is now certified as a practitioner of the Conklin Method of Cellular Cleansing, a process which neutralizes and transforms traumatic emotions, memories and energy blockages stored in the cells and tissues of the physical body over a lifetime. She is offering a 25 percent discount for all sessions booked in November.

Amy Kalama Hochreiter

“Each of our experiences includes a feeling state or emotion,” explains Kalama. “When a word is spoken or thought which expresses that emotion, that non-physical feeling corresponds with a physical expression or word which becomes stored within your cells. Words literally become physical and can manifest into disease. As a result, you become what you think, say and feel.”

Individual and group sessions are available in person or via Skype, and all participants will receive six private followup appointments over the six months following, as the body begins to shift and heal.

Bio-Touch Eases Mental Health Conditions

B

io-Touch is a touch-healing technique that is effective for reducing and relieving the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, chemical imbalances, addictive behaviors, obsessive compulsive disorder and other conditions that affect mental health.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that 75 percent of mental health conditions develop by age 24, one in five adults experiences a mental health condition every year and one in 17 lives with a serious mental illness. Studies have shown that Bio-Touch imparts an immediate calm, relaxing people as specific points on their bodies are lightly touched. To help with mental health issues, these touch points are concentrated on the head and neck. After a few minutes, there is a marked reduction in stress levels and a sustained positive impact, as people feel more cared for and connected through the wonders of human touch.

Everyone can learn to use Bio-Touch to help their family and friends feel better. The Bio-Touch organization is a nonprofit educational foundation, dedicated to teaching and sharing Bio-Touch all over the world. To that end, it has made learning Bio-Touch easy and affordable for over 27 years.

For only $18, people can download the entire training manual from the website at JustTouch.com. The online correspondence courses, as well as classes and workshops offered at the Bio-Touch Center, in Tucson, are designed to ensure that people everywhere are successful using Bio-Touch in the comfort of their own homes.

STAY SHARP Powerful Ways to Avoid Mental Decline

by Lisa Marshall

A

slow descent into dementia seemed inevitable for a 66-yearold man that had been misplacing his keys, missing appointments and struggling at work. He failed doctor-administered cognitive quizzes and tested positive for a gene variant linked to an exponentially higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease. A brain scan revealed scattered clusters of sticky, amyloid plaque—a hallmark of the disease. His hippocampus, or memory center, had shrunk to rank in the lowest 17 percent of men his age.

Told there wasn’t much that could be done, he sought the help of University of California, Los Angeles Alzheimer’s researcher Dale Bredesen, a neurologist and founding president of the independent Buck Institute for Research on Aging. He recommended a 26

personalized, 36-point plan, including a high-fat/low-carb diet, intermittent fasting, strict sleep schedule, select dietary supplements and other lifestyle changes. Within three months, family members reported marked improvements in his memory. At 10 months, brain scans revealed his hippocampus had grown 12 percent.

“Such improvements are unprecedented,” says Bredesen, who described this and nine other hopeful cases in a provocative paper published in June in the journal Aging. “These are the first examples of a reversal of cognitive decline in pre- and early Alzheimer’s patients.”

Addressing the Sources

Bredesen is among a small but growing group of researchers, physicians, caregivers and patients challenging the

natural awakenings

conventional wisdom that the road to dementia goes one way, with no cure or repair of damage done. They argue that the key to both prevention and reversal, at least in early stages, is to pinpoint its numerous drivers—from nutritional and hormonal deficiencies and exposure to infection to environmental toxins and harmful drugs—and attack them simultaneously. It’s a stark departure from the classic, often unsuccessful, one-pill treatment approach. Of the 244 clinical trials for Alzheimer’s drugs between 2002 and 2012, all but one failed.

“Imagine having a roof with 36 holes in it, and your drug patched one hole. You still have 35 leaks,” says Bredesen, who believes his synergistic approach—the Bredesen Protocol— can likely make Alzheimer’s drugs work better or render them unnecessary. Skeptical colleagues point out that Bredesen’s paper described only 10 case studies, not a clinical trial. “It is intriguing, but not enough to make recommendations to physicians or patients,” says Keith Fargo, Ph.D., director of scientific programs and outreach for the Chicago-based Alzheimer’s Association. “The current consensus in the scientific community is that we do not have a way to reverse dementia.”

While agreeing that a larger study is needed, Neurologist David Perlmutter, of Naples, Florida, whose bestsellers Brain Maker and Grain Brain promote nutritional changes for supporting brain health, considers Bredesen’s study revolutionary. “To reverse Alzheimer’s in one patient is monumental, much less 10,” says Perlmutter.

They recently presented together at a conference organized by Sharp Again Naturally, a New York nonprofit that educates patients and caregivers about natural means of slowing and reversing cognitive decline.

After losing her mother to Alzheimer’s, the nonprofit’s co-founder, Jacqui Bishop, 74, stopped her own frightening decline by changing her diet and getting her thyroid hormone levels under control via supplements.

Now she’s helping others do the same.

She says, “We are trying to change the conversation from one of despair to one of hope.”

Lifestyle changes can prevent and slow cognitive decline.

Some say they also reverse it.

Mending Body and Brain

Key to Bredesen’s approach is the notion that instead of being one disease, Alzheimer’s consists of three sub-types with distinct drivers: inflammation or infection; harmful environmental exposures; and/or lack of neuron-nurturing hormones. To determine which one to target, he tests patients for blood-sugar, inflammation and hormone levels, heavy metals and critical nutrients such as D and B vitamins. Then he crafts a personalized plan.

He notes that the 10 years it can take to progress from subtle decline to full-blown Alzheimer’s provides a

huge opportunity. “Ideally, we want people to come in when they have mild impairment or are asymptomatic,” says Bredesen, advising that tests be done for the APOE4, or “Alzheimer’s gene” in one’s 40s. “People have not wanted to know in the past because they’ve been told there is nothing they can do about it. We completely disagree.”

One way to stay cognitively sharp is to eat fewer carbs (which boost blood sugar) and eat more fat, says Perlmutter.

“There is a clear relationship between elevated levels of blood sugar and increased risk of Alzheimer’s.”

One study, published in 2013 in

the New England Journal of Medicine, tracked 2,067 healthy adults for seven years and found that the higher their average glucose level, even if they weren’t diabetic, the more likely they were to develop dementia. For instance, those with a level of 115 milligrams per deciliter were 18 percent more at risk than those measuring 100 milligrams per deciliter.

A 2012 study published in Neurology followed 266 adults for four years and found that those with higher blood sugar saw certain areas of the brain shrink 6 to 10 percent more than those with lower blood sugar. Gluten can also be problematic, advises Perlmutter, when it’s inflammatory and driving brain degeneration.

In contrast, good fat, like that in avocados, fatty fish, coconut oil and walnuts, serves as a foundation for neurons and an efficient, clean-burning fuel source for the brain. This is particularly helpful in someone with early-stage Alzheimer’s, says Bredesen, because the disease can make it harder for the brain to use sugar for fuel. In some cases, both doctors recommend an extremely low-carb, or “ketogenic” diet (fewer than 60 grams of carbs per day). Starved of carbohydrates, the liver produces fat-like compounds called ketones, a brain-fuel source shown to stimulate growth of new neural networks.

Bredesen also recommends 12 hours of fasting each night, with zero food intake within three hours of going to sleep. Fasting promotes a process called autophagy, by which the brain essentially cleans itself of damaged cellular material. Eight hours of sleep is also vital. According to University of Rochester research, the space between brain cells opens up during sleep, allowing cleansing channels of fluid to flow more freely. “If you were operating your house 24/7 with no time to rest or clean, it would be disastrous,” says Bredesen.

“The same is true of your brain.”

Also, they say, keep teeth clean because bacterial infections, including those in the gums, have been shown to hasten formation of neuron-killing plaque. Also critically examine the prescription drugs being ingested. A recent study of 74,000 people published in JAMA Neurology found that regular use of heartburn drugs like Prilosec and Nexium increased dementia risk by 42 to 52 percent. Meanwhile, anticholinergic drugs like Benadryl and statin drugs prescribed to manage cholesterol have also been linked to increased dementia. “We see ‘statin brain’ all the time,” observes Perlmutter, who says once patients go off the drugs, they tend to get better.

False Hope or Sound Advice

Fargo says researchers are keenly interested in many of the ideas in Bredesen’s paper. Although it’s too early to endorse them, numerous studies are underway. But he wonders if some patients that assert that they’ve reversed dementia actually suffered from something else, like sleep apnea or depression.

Bredesen stands by his research, asserting that the 10 patients in his paper had all been formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or its precursors. One 69-year-old entrepreneur that was planning to close his business after 11 years of mental decline is now expanding it. A 49-year-old woman that scored poorly on neuropsychological tests showed no signs of cognitive decline when she was tested again nine months later. In all, more than 100 people have participated in the program. “We have people that are four-and-a-half years out and doing very well,” he says, noting that such strategies aren’t likely to work for someone with advanced Alzheimer’s.

In some cases, the results may be more subtle, but for those caring for a sick loved one, any positive progress means a lot. Paul Tramontozzi knows.

The Fear of Anger

by Bill White

T

he fear (actually, terror) of another’s anger can be very strong in people who had childhood trauma from either witnessing anger expressed toward others we loved or from being attacked by anger ourselves. This fear is especially pronounced in family and love relationships, where we can become lax with the typical social norms of being relatively cordial.

We also have a fear of our own anger. Because we so despise anger being expressed like we received or witnessed as a child, we despise anger in ourselves and have a hard time accepting it or forgiving it. It can be healing to do some selfforgiveness processing around the times when we have been the one reacting in anger toward another, or when we have harmed others by suppressing and denying our anger (or their anger).

Because we are afraid of anger, we have intricate coping mechanisms to prevent anger and arguments. The common ones include: chronically avoiding dealing with anger and conflict; fanatically attempting to control circumstances and people so that there is no conflict and emotional upset; blaming others for causing us to feel upset; ignoring anything upsetting or potentially upsetting; ignoring or minimizing the upsets of others; and unconsciously denying being upset, when the opposite is true.

All these mechanisms actually create and sustain the very anger and arguing that we are so intent on avoiding.

These are fight-or-flight responses that we are strongly pulled to employ—even when they don’t work.

The solution to all of this is to commit ourselves to learning how to navigate anger and conflict—to face it directly.

There are various approaches that one can study and practice. Some processes one can learn are Marshall Rosenberg’s Compassionate Nonviolent Communication and Byron Katie’s “The Work” (TheWork.com). Because the influence of emotional trauma from childhood can have a strong influence, one would benefit from work that directly addresses childhood trauma, such as Harville Hendrix’s Imago Therapy, Margaret Paul’s Inner Bonding and Teal Swan’s The Completion Process.

This is rewarding, but sometimes hard, emotional work.

Most people would benefit from occasional one-on-one assistance with a skilled professional.

Bring Harmony to the Mind, Body and Nature

by Jeanette Gibler

W

e’re approaching the time of year when life speeds up and we begin adding much more to our to-do lists. We feel increased pressure, stress and overwhelm to get things done, buy the best gifts and host great parties.

If we tuned into nature and its cycles, we would witness how it slows down during this time of year, as if becoming introspective. Animals go into hibernation, trees shed leaves and the days become shorter. It’s the perfect time to slow down and check in with ourselves, and not be overscheduled and overburdened.

Bringing awareness and curiosity to the concept of cyclical living in harmony with nature can bring great relief to our minds and bodies this time of year. It may help us to choose our priorities and consciously create a plan for personal success.

7 Harmonizing Habits

1. Get plenty of sleep. Besides exercising and eating well, research shows we’re more likely to succeed at our tasks and enjoy greater well-being when rested.

2. Nourish your spirit. Spirituality can mean something different for everyone.

Connect to what you find meaningful, whether it’s a higher power, creativity or being in nature.

3. Get rid of stuff you no longer need. Like the tree, we can shed the old, feel liberated and prepare our space for something new.

4. Finish incompletions. What is pulling at your energy? You said you needed to finish it last year and you think of it often.

5. Connect with others. Email or texting is no substitute for face-to-face visits.

Enjoy time with family and friends, have meaningful conversations, join a local group of interest and intentionally increase laughter.

6. Let yourself off the hook. Commit to doing what brings you real joy. Do more of what you love and less of what everyone else thinks you should do.

7. Take time to go inward. Sit in silence for five minutes every day while taking long, full breaths. This will ground and align you with the natural occurring rhythms of stillness in nature.

Festive Sips and Nibbles Vegan Holiday Treats that Everyone Loves

or those that like to eat plantbased meals most of the time, the holidays can present a challenge.

Social occasions from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day abound, including multi-course dinners and potlucks; treetrimming and baking parties; neighborly hospitality; nibbling on treats while wrapping gifts; and gathering to watch a holiday movie.

Because so much is happening in such a short period of time, people often revert to serving traditional foods such as Aunt Mary’s cheese ball or Grandma Daisy’s three-layer chocolate bars. These vintage recipes, however, can be laden with processed ingredients. Foods that signaled holiday cheer ages ago need a tweak or two to satisfy

today’s health-minded friends and family members. With traditional flavors of the season like aromatic spices, fresh rosemary and chocolate, plus a plantbased philosophy, family favorites can get a new twist.

Natural Awakenings asked cookbook authors, chefs and bloggers from around the country to help us celebrate wonderful holiday moments, big and small. Adding a plant-based nibble or sip not only helps party hosts stay on track, it also helps keep guests from over-indulging, so that everyone ends up enjoying themselves even more.

Frothy Hot Chocolate with Pistachio Milk

Spiced Pepitas These crunchy pumpkin seeds are lemony, salty, spicy and zesty, all at the same time. A handful of these toasted tidbits whets the appetite.

Yields: 2 cups 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds 1 Tbsp grated lemon zest 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp ground coriander ½ tsp ancho chile powder ½ tsp cayenne pepper ¼ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp sugar (optional) Preheat the oven to 375° F. In a medium bowl, toss together the pumpkin seeds, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, cumin, pepper, coriander, chile powder, cayenne and garlic powder.

Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and shake to redistribute the seeds, and then bake for another 3 minutes. Pull it out to shake the pan again. Then finish baking for 1 to 2 minutes or until the pumpkin seeds are crispy and golden without burning them.

Transfer to a cool baking sheet and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

One-Person Pamper Party Natural Ways to Refresh and Renew

Pampering ourselves isn’t a luxury so much as a necessity to refresh and renew mind, body and spirit. More Pampering Spots

A Spa Specialty

Spas have been synonymous with pampering throughout the ages. “Every civilization around the world has had some kind of communal gathering place for people to practice ‘self-healing’,” says Jeremy McCarthy, group director of Spa & Wellness for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and author of The Psychology of Spas & Wellbeing.

From ancient Greek bathhouses to Japan’s beloved natural hot springs, spas have long served as sacred places of healing and restoration. Indeed, many treatments provided at today’s eco-spas draw inspiration from traditional uses of

Tucson

While busy people tend to put off selfcare, there are treats to suit any schedule or budget—from getting a quick manicure or pedicure at a neighborhood eco-nail salon to visiting a yoga or wellness center.

For a quick, healthy pick-me-up, visit an organic juice bar. Opt for businesses that feature fresh, whole ingredients rather than pre-mixed powders or sugar-laden juices; to give the immune system an extra lift, add a natural booster shot of ginger or turmeric. Most grocery stores now carry cold-pressed juices that can pack as much as six pounds of produce into a single bottle.

An honored ritual that continues to restore spent spirits is drinking a cup of

tea. Whether sipped at home, as part of a British high tea featuring Earl Grey or as part of a traditional Japanese green tea ceremony steeped in Zen, tea time allows us to slow down and savor the moment along with the aromas in our cup.

Also, antioxidant-rich tea is fortifying.

Salt room visits, another healthy pleasure that has spread throughout the U.S., dates back 150 years to an indigenous Polish practice. Research indicates that salt therapy, or halotherapy, can help improve conditions such as asthma and allergies and support the immune, nervous and lymphatic systems (see Tinyurl.com/SaltRoomPampering). Universally restful salt rooms also offer a unique sensory experience.

Another highly accessible way to treat body and mind is to move in a joyful way. Consider taking up a playful new class for de-stressing and stretching such as trapeze yoga, conscious dance or any other dance. Aerial yoga, using suspended trapeze-like supports, helps lengthen the spine and strengthen muscles in ways not easily achieved on the ground. Dance delivers health and fitness bonuses in the midst of having fun.

If we’re not in the habit of pampering ourselves, it’s time to stretch our beliefs about what we deserve. We’ll find bliss is an attainable luxury.

Kelly Brogan on the Truth About Depression

Why Meds Don’t Work and What Does

by Kathleen Barnes

I

ntegrative medical doctor Kelly Brogan, a women’s health psychiatrist and author of A Mind of Your Own, has turned the world of neuropsychiatry on its head by revealing that depression can be reversed without a single prescription drug. She asserts that depression is not caused by imbalanced brain chemistry, but by lifestyle choices that unbalance the entire human physiology. That’s why conventional antidepressants generally don’t work. She instead prescribes eliminating foods that trigger inflammation in order to rebalance all body systems.

According to the National Institute for Mental Health, depression annually affects 15.7 million adult Americans, or about 8.3 percent of the population.

What’s your stand on the illness model of medicine and how you arrived there?

My training as a conventional doctor was predicated on a disease care model that offers patients only one solution—a prescription. We have never had a shot at true wellness, having handed over our health to corporations loyal to their shareholders, rather than to us.

Conventional medicine is based on the notion that we are born broken and need chemicals to feel better; the body is a machine that needs recalibration; and doctors always know what they are doing. After investing thousands of hours researching what would aid my own 36

Tucson

journey back from health challenges, I saw how we have been duped.

Health is our natural state, and we can restore it by natural means. The way to prevent and reverse illness is to communicate with the body in a language it understands.

It’s so simple, yet society considers it an act of rebellion to consider this kind of lifestyle.

Which science supports your conclusion that antidepressant drugs don’t work for most patients?

Taking an antidepressant for depression is like taking a Tylenol for a shard of glass in your foot. Wouldn’t you rather just remove it? Antidepressants don’t work the way we think they do and come with risks, including impulsive violence and debilitating withdrawal.

They also can distract from an opportunity to identify the real cause of symptoms, one that is entirely reversible, in my experience.

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Lexapro are commonly prescribed to treat depression by boosting serotonin levels.

There are many studies debunking their use and effectiveness. The 2012 Ottawa Hospital Research Institute study led by Paul Albert, Ph.D., concluded, “Direct serotonin-enhancing effects of antidepressants disturb energy homeostasis and worsen symptoms.”

As far back as 1998, Irving Kirsch,

natural awakenings

Ph.D., an expert on the placebo effect at Harvard Medical School, published a meta-analysis of the treatment of 3,000 patients, finding that drugs improved depression in only 27 percent of the cases.

What’s the link between women, high blood sugar, diabetes, obesity and depression?

When I meet a patient that complains about irritability, anxiety, foggy thinking, fatigue and insomnia, I visually plot her day-to-day symptoms on a mental graph. I find that the sugar rollercoaster accounts for the vast majority of diabetes, obesity, depression and other symptoms troubling my patients, especially women.

Sugar disturbs mental health in at least three ways: It starves the brain by causing blood sugar highs and lows that can eventually cause insulin resistance, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s disease; promotes inflammation, which is closely linked to depression; and derails hormones by raising levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body’s effort to balance blood sugars.

Depression also has roots in thyroid imbalances, which are common in women more than 40 years old, and in food intolerances, especially to gluten, soy and corn, that can affect the brain in unpredictable ways.

Is there a general protocol that seems to work best?

While there are no quick fixes, I see turnarounds every week because I help my patients see the benefits of simple choices like avoiding wheat and wheat products. You need a month of serious commitment to quit sugar, alcohol, coffee, wheat and dairy. Then you discover you aren’t an irritable, tired, forgetful person, which is its own incentive toward feeling better. It’s the basis to make choices with your own fully informed consent. Applying such information leads to long-term change and healing.

The Art of Blessing

Sanctifying Everyday Life

M

by Dennis Merritt Jones

ost blessings are done quietly, in the silence of one’s own mind and heart; most often others don’t even know about it. How a blessing is done is not as important as the fact that it’s done mindfully.

There is nothing magical or mystical about conferring a blessing—it’s simply confirming the presence of God, divine Spirit, at the center of that which is being blessed.

Masters, teachers, sages and saints from every spiritual tradition have used blessings as a way to consecrate, sanctify, purify and heal. Wedding ceremonies, memorial services, christenings and everything in-between have at one time or another been blessed. Anyone can offer a blessing. Ernest Holmes, author of Science of Mind, defined a blessing as constructive thought directed toward anyone or any condition.

He says, “You bless a man when you recognize the divinity in him.”

When things are good, it can seem easy to neglect the practice of blessing ourselves and others. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting—a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in ev-

ery fair flower and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.”

We can always bless what’s good in our lives, but blessings can become even more meaningful if we remember to bless the bad times as well, when we most need to remember the truth that good is present then and there, too.

Getting in the habit of embracing daily blessings is a good spiritual practice as we evolve and go forth and bless our world as we have been blessed. It’s a matter of remembering that the real blessing has already been bestowed; the gift of life itself. Take a moment to contemplate this and seal it in consciousness by silently affirming, “I am blessed and I am a blessing.” I Am is a name of God. In the words of Mary Baker Eddy in introducing her seminal work, Science & Health, “To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.”

Dennis Merritt Jones, D.D., of St. Petersburg Beach, FL, is the author of Your (Re)Defining Moments, The Art of Uncertainty and The Art of Being, the source of this essay. He has contributed to the human potential movement and field of spirituality for 30 years (DennisMerrittJones.com).
