Our Spiritual Freedoms By Rev. Marcella Zinner, M.M.A. MTh.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” From Nelson Mandela.

elson Mandela taught the world. He showed us, by example, to stand up for and demand our spiritual freedoms. No matter what it takes. He exemplified the fight for and the right for spiritual freedom. His determination and example of freedom for human rights shows all of us how we can and should expect our freedom. Freedom means the power to act, think, and speak without hindrance and restraint. It is the absence of subjection to foreign interference. Freedom is the power to determine action without restraint; the right to our free will with no harm or infringement to others. How can we develop the deep embedded determination and strength of will power similar to Nelson Mandela? How can we use the powerful energies that free will gives us? How can we use this gift for our highest and best good? 8 september 2016 • Tampa Bay Wellness

How can we use this to provide us with peace, joy, health, and abundance in all areas of our life? We have the freedom of choice to make voluntary decisions, consciously or unconsciously, to perform an action, to think a thought, or to feel an emotion. This is the gift of free will. Because we have incarnated in this country at this time we have the right of free will. This is the highest form of freedom. However, free will brings us, not only terrific joy, but also tremendous conflicts of choice. Our choices of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual free will shape and direct our life. This abundant freedom can make people very uncomfortable, even scared. This is where the big lessons are. This is fear. Being in the place of fear nudges us forward to trust, reach for faith. Hopefully, we finally discover we have another opportunity. We have more free will so we

can discover what we truly want. POWERFUL!!! We can respond freely, openly and deliberately. We have the power to decide how to treat people, what to take and what not to take from our life experiences, establish who we want to spend time with, (or not!). We have the power to pursue our dreams, fulfill our destiny, or be devoted to our highest spiritual potential. Or simply decide how to live our life. What if sorrow and heartache overshadows any ability to find our free will choices? This happens to all of us at one time or another. Obstacles, blocks, brick walls, seemingly insurmountable situations show up for us to contemplate. We question, now what? Why me, how do I get through this? We feel stuck, unhappy, miserable, angry, or frustrated at our plight. Most of us go through the why me, poor me, I Contact us 813-501-4894 •

want my way. This can overwhelm us or it can transform us. Enter in free will. We can choose again. Perhaps, in a convoluted or disguised way, we do get what we want or need. Maybe the stuck, unhappy, angry, or traumatic situation is exactly what is supposed to show up for us. Consider the “unwanted” situation may be just the lesson we need to provide guidance for us. This can also be known as the contrast as to what we don’t want. A clear and decisive point for a directional shift. These unfortunate and unhappy circumstances show up for us because of our fear, lack or doubtful thinking, feelings or emotions. We have stifled our free will choice. We have ignored God’s will for us. We have doubted God’s path for us. We have temporally misplaced our trust and faith. How can our greater good-our personal freedom of choice, our free will -find us if we continue to allow ourselves to be buried beneath the rubble of our forced efforts to control, manipulate, and force things to go our way? Release our resistance. Search for our

• To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

own responsibility. Act like a spiritual grown-up. As Maxine, the greeting card character said, “If we were meant to be controlled, we would have come with a set of instructions and a remote control.” Recognize these situations as another chance to grow, to move out of stale or difficult circumstances into something more harmonious. The open opportunity of free will is always better than our resistance. There is always a better, more peaceful, abundant offer on the other side of sorrow. Think about it: We have the power and free will to choose how we can will live your life! When we begin to own our situation, take responsibility for who we are, energy shifts, mountains move, and the Universe opens up many new pathways. This begins to lead us out of sorrow and into grace. Our internal voice begins to urge us to be still. Stop trying (more like stop trying to control. Trying hard may just be a form of resistance to our good). Be present. Allow God to turn this into a

course of joy and peace. This requires trust and patience. Free will is humankind’s main tool for learning lessons for our evolution. Be still, we have another chance, another choice, to decide again. When we live life under grace, following the flow of energy, our free will choices will be supportive of us. A benevolent healing force is created to sustain us and guide us. Our greater good will find us. This is our spiritual freedom! Rev. Marcella Zinner, M.M. A., Ch.T, ThM, Reiki Master, is a teacher of spiritual awareness as well as real life circumstances to facilitate change, peace and harmony.

GREEN AMERICA: THE TIPPING POINT IS HERE ON GMOs, WITH 10 MAJOR COMPANIES SHIFTING TO NON-GMO PRODUCTS General Mills. Post. Hershey’s. Unilever. Pepsi. Those are just some of the top food corporations that have been persuaded since January 2014 by Green America’s GMO Inside campaign and its supporters to remove genetically engineered (GE) ingredients from their products, and offer organic options and products made without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). “We are now at the tipping point and with this major momentum the shift to non- GMO food is only going to gain more speed,” said Todd Larsen, executive co- Director of Green America. “These 10 victories demonstrate the important role consumers play in shaping our food supply. As more and more consumers demand healthy, sustainable food made without GMOs, we expect more companies to follow suit and produce goods without GMOs. The victories to date are part of a larger trend towards simpler ingredients and transparency in GMO product labeling.” In addition to growing demand for nonGMO foods, consumers overwhelmingly want to know which products contain GMOs. In response, more and more multinational food companies have committed to label products that contain GMOs. Campbell’s was the first major packaged food company to voluntarily label GMOs and end opposition to on- package GMO labels. Faced with consumer demand, and a soon to be enacted Vermont GMO labeling law, Kellogg’s, Mars, General Mills, Con Agra and Del Monte have committed to label products made with GMOs. Dannon also recently committed to a broad sustainability and transparency agenda, which includes labeling GMOs, non-GMO ingredients, and non-GMO feed. The GMO Inside campaign works with over 260,000 consumers to take action at home and online to call attention to genetically engineered foods, and provides information about organic and non-GMO alternatives. ABOUT GREEN AMERICA Green America is the nation’s leading green economy organization. Founded in 1982, Green America provides the economic strategies, organizing power and practical tools for businesses and individuals to solve today’s social and environmental problems. http://www.GreenAmerica.org. 10 september 2016 • Tampa Bay Wellness

The House of Mirrors

Our Journey Through Life School

he transitions and evolution in my spiritual journey are reminiscent of the House of Mirrors found in carnivals. The mirrors reflect our images and surroundings and the transparent glass partitions cause us to stumble, grope and blindly seek our eventual goal, which is to find our way back home. In the maze, we go forward, sideways and sometimes backwards…all the while learning and remembering how to reach our spiritual destination. The dream state, in which we spend much of our time, is when we are most psychic and aware. It is a powerful state, unrealized by most of us, because in it, we transcend the ego and penetrate into the state known as the Collective Unconscious. This state of consciousness is everywhere in all times and from which we can derive unparalleled knowledge, wisdom, guidance and spiritual awareness. Those who use dreaming, can plumb the depths of their consciousness for answers and manifestations far beyond the

normal consciousness. Typically labelled the theta brainwave state, this enables us, once we have cleared our minds, such as in sleep or deep meditation, to accomplish much and perhaps most importantly, receive universal knowledge and guidance. This state was recognized by the ancients as a powerful tool and used to divine, receive and create or manifest. I experienced a totally unexpected spiritual transitional experience which was ushered in during the dream state. It began on an ordinary summer evening. The energy of the vision far surpassed the feeling of an ordinary dream – in fact it was so real that even in lucid dreaming, I was unaware that my physical body resided elsewhere. It was so intense that I felt totally exposed – physically, mentally and emotionally. There was a transparency so penetrating that I knew that anything I thought or felt was detected in its entirety by the energy encompassing me. The vision was awesome, yet clear enough to communicate the message that

there had been a fatal car accident. The scene presented by the energies, clearly indicated the person who had suffered the accident. This was a “death sense” experience, as termed by Dr. Raymond Moody. This means that while having no conscious knowledge of the death, I had the intuitive sensing on the subconscious level of the event – not only what, but who and how this had occurred. Only the “why” remained unanswered. As the vision continued, I asked and received further clarification. Deep down I knew it was not for me to dispute it, yet, I rebelled in disbelief. It was at that point, the magnificent energy simply stated to the effect: “Nevertheless, You will see…” . At that moment, a loud metallic noise of a locker door slammed, and I startled awake. I was back in Earth school again, the third dimension of reality. It was night, it was summer and while my disbelief continued, I knew something really disturbing had occurred. It was approximately five days later, I Contact us 813-501-4894 •

received confirmation, that yes, indeed, a dearly beloved person had perished in a car accident. At that point, plunged into depression, I began building to another unexpected spiritual revelation which eventually revealed, to me, a wondrous realization that there truly is a remarkable universal truth and healing process. The five step process of grieving or recovering from a loss is delineated in the works of Elizabeth Kubler Ross. They are conscious or subconscious (1) denial, (2) anger, (3) bargaining, (4) depression (also known as preparatory grieving), and (5) acceptance. One can vacillate and revisit stages, but ultimately the healing will end with acceptance. Grief is an emotion and grieving is a process which ultimately reveals a larger truth- thus it is a growth process. Releasing or letting go, is the key to acceptance, which is realizing that harboring unpleasant thoughts is toxic on many levels. Having been depressed as a result of this death, it was really the thoughts of how unfair this was (anger), that life was not worth all of this pain (anger), and hurt (anger) that obscured my understanding. This spurred an intense search regarding information about death, dying and near-death experiences. Dr. Raymond Moody’s information, was timely and integral to this recovery and growth process. The information, that there is life after life was absorbed on a conscious level with little obvious effect other than a passing acknowledgement that, yes, it is a good thing, but really doesn’t affect my sense of loss. About three months after the vision, I went for a jog. Run-

ning down the road, I had an unexpected spiritual revelation. It was like an expansive and intense light turned on, the sun seemed brighter, the greens of the grasses, pastures, and trees seemed to become larger than life and the blue of the sky became intense. In that short but revelatory moment, there was a peace and acceptance of the fact that the process of life and death has larger implications than ever imagined. That is, that all is and will be well, that the darkness we see is simply a false perception and that the Light truly shines and is a part of usalways! Ever since that time, the realization that all is well and the chaos is only a momentary but false perception has been part of my being. Not that the lessons do not continue, but the sense of safety and security really does exist. It is a matter of knowing (faith), that all is well. Thus, the mirrors are still there, and the journey and lessons continue! But in the end….we really are assured of safely reaching our spiritual destination & home! Enjoy life; it’s all in the moment!

A Journey to Receive Transformational Healings of Mind, Body, Emotions, and Spirit

By Carolyn Puckett, P.T.

n this life, I suffered from the pain of pressure in the head, face, neck and sinuses. I also had allergies, itchy, burning skin, hives and feelings of sadness and despair. No one else in my family had these ailments. Every year it got worse, inflammation, pain and diminishing energy for life. There were many blocks within and many spiritual veils in place that I could not feel my connection to the higher guides or to my true self. It was a journey of almost forty years to find the healing pathways, but once I found the pathways, I focused on getting my healings done. I accelerated and completed all healings and was cured of all symptoms, reconnected to my true self and higher guidance. The process of Myofascial Release is to be healed, released of physical, mental, emotional blocks trapped in the cellular memory of the fascia. Often there are blocks from past lives as well as this life that are trapped in the cellular memory of the blocked fascia. The healings are powerful, transformational for the body, mind, emotions and spirit. I learned from receiving my healings

16 september 2016 • Tampa Bay Wellness

as well as from my training to become a Myofascial Release Therapist that negative, stressful, lower vibrational experiences and traumas get stuck and trapped in the fascial system and into many different parts of the body. These restrictions in the Fascial System cause the programs of the traumas to replay, keep the inflammation cycles continuing, cause compression, create pressure on pain sensitive nerves thus pain, block natural cellular function and block the life force energy. As the restricted layers of fascia are cleared, the energy is restored and the physical is restored. The lower vibrational feelings and symptoms disappear and the life force energy expands. There is an expansion or reconnection of greater spiritual energy as well. Spiritual Response Therapy removes the programs of the subconscious mind, which existed from experiences of the past and past lives that yet need to be cleared and released. SRT is a program that accesses the Akashic Records (soul’s records), clears the karmic discordant energies of the past and clears past subconscious programs.

Once this happens, there is expanded consciousness, more connection to soul and spirit. As I received SRT and was cleared of the energy blocks in the subconscious and cleared of blocks in the soul programs and spirit programs, I felt expansion of my soul consciousness, soul memory and spirit connection. I was guided to these two healing pathways and also to become a practitioner of those healing forms. I am a Myofascial Release and Spiritual Response Therapy practitioner and can share these incredibly powerful healing pathways. If you are interested, see my website www. BlissMyofascialRelease.com and call for more information. Carolyn Puckett is a healer using Myofascial Release, Quantum Energy Healing and Spiritual Response Therapy. She helps clear the blocks in the body using Myofascial Release and Quantum Energy Healing and helps release the blocks in the subconscious mind accessing the Akashic Records with Spiritual Response Therapy.

The Power of Delaying Gratification: Why You Should do It, and How

eople who delay their gratification for a later day or time, end up having more success in all areas of life; financial, health, career and relationships. That’s a huge deal. So, what exactly is delay of gratification? It is the choice of not doing something now for something bigger later on. What you are doing is choosing self-discipline over the ease that distractions bring along with them. Here is an example. You have homework tonight but you are tired and want to take a nap, you had a very long day. Instant gratification says, “a nap right now would feel great, go for it.” Delay of gratification says, “I will delay that nap so I can do my homework now in order to obtain something later on” (in this case, a degree). In 1972 one of the biggest research studies on delay of gratification was launched. It is known as the “Marshmallow Study.” It was a longitudinal study of 40 years. Researchers had young children come in, sit down and then they placed a marshmallow in front of them. Researchers told the children they would be leaving the room and if they did not eat the marshmallow while they were gone, when the researcher got back, they would get two marshmallows. When the researchers left the room, many of the children ate the marshmallow instantly. Some children paced back and forth and then ate the marshmallow anyway. Other children, delayed the instant gratification of eating the marshmallow now for the bigger token in the end, two marshmallows. Over the course of 40 years the subjects were assessed. The researchers found that those who delayed gratification had higher SAT scores, less substance abuse and obesity, better social skills and better scores in several other life measures. We live in a world where we want things now. We rush, we have limited patience, no time and can be very impulsive. These behaviors are becoming habit and are rolling into areas of our life which can predict success or failure. We want a promotion, now, we want a degree, now, we want the best marriage, now, we want to be CEO today, we want our bank account filled up this second, we want the newest cell phone, car, and piece of technology, now. We even want answers, now. But the truth is, for just about all these things, we have to work for them. And, we don’t only have to work hard for these things, we have to be patient for them. In order to obtain a degree, a great marriage and that CEO position, you have to often steer away from instant gratification and make a lot of sacrifices and compromises.

in place. Make sure that you also have visualizations all around you so you see your direction all the time. Read blogs, watch YouTube videos, and put up motivating quotes that will inspire you to preserve and not give in to the immediate gratification around you. 2. Retreat, Rethink and React When some temptation or impulse creeps in to veer you off for some instant gratification, retreat from the situation before giving in. Hold off and rethink about the situation. Think about the bigger goal in mind, analyze the situation and focus on your end goal for a moment and then go ahead and react. Chances are, backing away and putting things in perspective will drive you away from the temptation of immediacy. 3. Know your goal If you don’t know what your goals are, you will be all over the place. Identify your goals and be realistic. Start simplistic. If you have a goal in place that is way over the top, chances are you are going to give in to temptation all around you because you are not ever going to get to that end goal. It is too hard, too big or not realistic for your life. Start small and start realistic- don’t compare your path to someone else’s. Go ahead and create a plan for these realistic goals and stick to it. When you have a plan and a direction you are more likely to stick to this plan even when distractions in the immediate come up. 4. Reward yourself Recognize that it is okay here and there to give in a little bit. You can still be spontaneous in life even when striving for goals. You can still have fun and give into instant gratification (that donut, that nap, that reality show) once and a while. The point is not to make these actions of giving in, a habit. But, no matter what you decide, be sure that once you achieve a goal, reflect on the sacrifices you did make and how far you have come and reward yourself. Don’t hurdle the next mountain until you have first celebrated with yourself and those who also sacrificed in order for you to achieve.

Here are 4 tips on how to delay gratification: 1. Create a Supportive Environment Be sure you surround yourself with people who are in support of your goals and rid or set boundaries with toxic people who bring you negativity. You want people around you who support your goals so that they will tell you not to take that nap or eat that donut. Instead, they will encourage you to get up and study or go for that run. They pick you up when they see you giving in because they know how important your bigger goal is to you. As you create a supportive environment, don’t just put supportive people • To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

Are You Emotionally Deprived? By Dina Hansen, NHD

ver the years I’ve learned a thing or two about behavior, selfesteem and how we think. Not only as a Doctor of Natural Health and Mindful Self-C.A.R.E Coach, but in my personal experiences as well. And what I’ve learned is that over giving can often be a sign of feeling deprived. A signal that certain needs aren’t being met. Emotions are not being expressed. A void of some kind is being left empty, exposed and unfulfilled. We feel unconsciously vulnerable and it doesn’t feel safe. In fact you may be busy filling your days or your families days with things to do, places to be, activities to participate in, social engagements to keep and so much more, all in an unconscious attempt to fulfill that craving for a deeper connection, a closer bond, a sense of belonging and being loved. You may also be making yourself openly available or being overly generous with either your time, your money, your anything else that you hold dear, because on some level you are hoping to get back what you give. And when it doesn’t happen you feel unappreciated, taken for granted or simply annoyed. Which can trigger a whole series of things we may tell ourselves such as, “You were so stupid to do that. You really should have known better.”, or “WTF were you thinking?”. None of this is caring, compassionate or a way we would talk to our best friend or loved ones, yet for some reason we think it’s ok to talk to ourselves this way. And in the end, all it does is ad to our feelings of worthlessness and stress. So how do we transform this need to overcompensate? We begin with awareness. Awareness of our needs, desires and where we have a void in our lives. Awareness empowers great change, because without awareness nothing CAN change. We just keep on, keeping on and being miserable in the process! When we embrace awareness, free from judgment (otherwise known as mindfulness), we learn how to go from a victim mindset,

• To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

which keeps us stuck, to a mindset that puts us in the drivers seat and empowers us instead. And the women who have completed my 28 Day Mindful SelfC.A.R.E Journey (available for download on my website in September 2016) have learned to do just that. Right now though, I’m going to share how you can start to become more aware of where you are deprived in your own life, what you can do to fill that void so you can get from where you are now to where you want to be-nourished and fulfilled physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I’m going to ask you to begin by getting a notebook and at the top of each new page, write one of these questions, then answer them as completely as you can noting your feelings, what you see, and what you hear from others as well as from what you may be telling yourself. • Where do I feel deprived or empty in my life? • Who is causing me to feel resentful? How? • What do I need more of in my life that I am just not getting? How do I know for sure when I have it? • What would I like instead? State this as positively as you can (for example: instead of saying I don’t want to eat chocolate anymore, write, Instead of eating chocolate, which I know makes me feel badly about myself, I enjoy avocados).

These questions open up a whole new awareness into how you may be thinking about yourself and others, how you interact with the world and how you can start to feel more empowered & fulfilled in mind, body & soul every day…and improve your relationships in the process!

LifeWorks Wellness Center

Fixing Your Health… Naturally

chronic health condition doesn’t have to result in leading a debilitated life. The diagnosis of Lyme disease doesn’t have to feel like a death sentence and treating cancer need not mean grueling rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. There are answers to almost all health challenges which don’t involve a lifelong commitment to prescription medication or surgery of some kind. At LifeWorks Wellness Center in Clearwater, the practitioners prefer to use natural solutions which address the root cause of the problem, rather than simply suppressing the symptoms. Every patient’s healing journey begins with a thorough, hour-long consultation with practitioners who really listen to the whole story, and don’t just reach for the prescription pad. “What significantly sets us apart from other medical centers is that we don’t do band aid medicine,” says David Minkoff, MD, co-founder and Medical Director of the clinic. “When I see a patient who is severely fatigued or has been diagnosed with a condition that’s not improving, or who have been told that ‘it’s all in your head’, I will thoroughly evaluate what is 20 september 2016 • Tampa Bay Wellness

going on in their body to find out what could be causing their issues.” Minkoff goes on to give an example, “I recently had a male patient in his mid-20s who had been suffering from neurological issues, partial loss of eyesight and physical debilitation. He had been hospitalized, diagnosed with MS and put on steroids. He travelled all the way from New York to see me and when I examined him, I discovered the cause of all his symptoms was a bad root canal tooth which was disturbing his neurological function, which in turn was causing his physical condition. He had the tooth pulled, came to LifeWorks for IV therapy and within six weeks his health was fully restored. There is almost always a real and discoverable cause, or causes, for major health challenges and that’s why people from all over the country come to see us because we are unique in what we do.” The center, founded in 1997 by Dr. Minkoff and his wife Sue Minkoff R.N., remains true to their original concept of providing a healing center where patients are offered the best medical care possible in an environment where they are treated Contact us 813-501-4894 •

like family. The Minkoffs research into alternative medical modalities uncovered proven natural treatments and modalities such as ozone therapy, insulin potentiation therapy, pulsed magnetic field therapy, thermography, chelation, bioidentical hormone therapy, homeopathics, vitamin and mineral IVs as well as a huge range of supplements which assist patients on their healing journeys. Dr. George Springer, Dr. Minkoff and the Nurse Practitioners all use a diagnostic tool known as autonomic nervous system reflex testing. This is a very specific type of nervous system evaluation that allows them to find the major toxins, infections, deficiencies and allergies that cause the symptoms that the patient is complaining of. Dr. Springer says, “This method of evaluation helps us to determine the subtle imbalances that are probably occurring and causing the issues. If a patient comes to see me because they are suffering from constant migraines, I certainly won’t say ‘here is some medicine, take it and your migraines will go away’. I will use the reflex testing to find out what is occurring in the body to trigger them. Something like a migraine is only the tip of the iceberg because there is always a discoverable cause for almost every condition.” LifeWorks Wellness Center is one of the foremost alternative health clinics in the U.S. and they are constantly adding to their growing list of cutting-edge therapies. In a last word from Dr. Minkoff, he says, “We love what we do and we get great results routinely every day because at Lifeworks, we fix people naturally.” LifeWorks Wellness Center is located at 301 Turner St., Clearwater.

Finding My Spark of the Divine By Terri Cabral

s I travelled for work inspiring all those with whom I met in the beauty and image industry to become the best that they could be and soar to new heights, truly enjoying the work, I always felt that there was more to happen in my life. Seeing so many who were stressed as the pressure started to grow in countless corporations and feeling changes in the energy in all the retailers, I too was having a tough time absorbing everything. My being was becoming weaker instead of stronger even though I was starting to awaken and really feeding my soul. Suddenly, nothing felt right anymore. One day I was put on bed rest due to illness, as my immune system had been compromised and that was just the beginning of more to come. I was advised by a physician to take a good look at 22 september 2016 â&#x20AC;˘ Tampa Bay Wellness

my life and how much that income that I was bringing in meant to me verses my well-being. I decided to leave my job while praying that somehow God had another plan for my life. Out of this change in my life my greatest desire awoke. This gave me the opportunity to finish my degree in Healing Arts that I had started 5 years before, become a Life Coach since I was already coaching the beauty industry, but most of all have peace and not stress. My passion was always to help people and this challenge in my life gave me a greater opportunity to help people truly find their own greatness, peace and fulfillment. In the midst of my own chaos I found I bigger piece of my soul, my becoming a human doer life had slowly shadowed my soul. In solitude I have now found Contact us 813-501-4894 â&#x20AC;˘

the clarity and answers that my soul seeks. I still had my challenges with my health but learned to listen to my body and follow what I needed. We made the adjustments that we needed in order to make it financially and also adjusted my life to what made me feel good, which was a change since I thought my job was to help everyone else feel good even if I got hurt in the process. Meditation and spiritual growth became a bigger focus and I grew into the person that I was meant to be. I realized that the things that I focused on before didn’t make a difference in my life purpose, I can get by with so much less and beauty is all around me. I learned to enjoy nature again, which is free, a gift from the universe that brings me so much in return, peace and connection with a greater force that is within me. I have built beautiful meaningful relationships and I have seen miracles happen all around me. At the time, all I saw was obstacles and today I see that it brought forth a great gift into my life not only have I helped myself but also others, through my process of struggle, learning and accepting which was a big lesson for me since I was so used to being in control and supplying. I was never left without and all my needs were somehow met. With faith all is possible. Thankfully, I have also gained more patience and learned to observe and not react. I am aware that everything is in divine order and that there is a plan and a mission for my life, just like

there is for all of you. My advice is to really listen to your soul. In the midst of chaos your soul speaks with more wisdom and love than you ever thought possible. Never fear, for our Creator does not make mistakes and you are a perfect spark of the Divine.

The Turmeric Trend:

Why This Natural Anti-Inflammatory Is In the Spotlight

Adapted from INFLAMED: discover the root cause of inflammation and personalize a step-by-step plan to create a vibrant, healthy life By Shelly Malone

lip open the pages of any natural health magazine right now, and it seems that a magical, bright yellow pile of dust – turmeric – is staring back at you. But why is this spice suddenly in the spotlight, and how specifically can it help you? Studies reveal that turmeric possesses substantial anti-inflammatory qualities – more on that in a minute. Before we get into those benefits, though, let’s talk about inflammation and the way it manifests in your day-to-day health. When your body is taken over by inflammation, it can not only be debilitating, it can raise your risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, some cancers, mood and cognitive disorders, and is the source of autoimmune disease and many other chronic conditions. Because it’s an umbrella term for a condition with a whole host of outcomes, it can be hard to identify whether or not you’re experiencing it. However, research suggests that scores of us are. Today, almost half of all Americans (and 50% of our children) live with some type of chronic health condition, and 38 million people across the globe die each year from preventable “lifestyle disease.” This begs the question: what preventions can we take to stave off these types of diseases? And outside of the obvious (don’t smoke, for example), what are some of the more subtle ways we place stressors on our bodies? This is where inflammation enters the equation. INFLAMMATION DEFINED Simply put, “inflammation” is the immune system’s response to a stimulus that is viewed as foreign or toxic to your body (also known as an antigen). Your immune system constantly monitors for any¬thing that appears as a foreign intruder, like an infectious bacteria or other material, that shouldn’t be there, and is always at the ready to signal its highly-specialized troops of cells and molecules to attack and dispose of the foreign material. Inflammation can play a positive role in our health as the primary defense mechanism against acute conditions — like when a fever fights off an infection, or blood rushes to a sprained ankle to help heal the tissue. It is an essential part of healing. But (and this is a big ‘but’), when your immune system is disrupted, it puts itself unnecessarily on constant defense, sending inflammation continually rippling throughout your body. In this state of chronic inflammation, it’s working against you instead of for you by switching focus from the antigen it’s supposed to attack, and instead launching a targeted strike on your own cells, tissues, or other harmless material. FIGHTING INFLAMMATION NATURALLY A common approach to fighting inflammation, especially with exclusive exposure to conventional medicine ideals, is that of inflammation management through quick-fix anti-inflammatory medications, such as NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). These include prescription NSAIDS and over-the-counter ibuprofen and naproxen. But there’s a problem with this approach:

• To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

it’s well supported in the research that this particular class of pain relievers is very damaging to your digestive system, and can increase the permeability of your gut. Our digestive system contains approximately 70% of our immune cells and serves to prevent inflammatory toxins from entering your bloodstream. So, when this protective barrier breaks down, it takes down your entire system with it. Prescription corticosteroids can also have the same effect. Ironically (and unfortunately), these are commonly prescribed for autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions. But while taking away pain, they are actually worsening a primary root cause of inflammation: a leaky gut. So what to do if you want to calm your body’s inflammation, and protect – or even improve – the integrity of your gut health? Interestingly, both fish oil and curcumin have been found to be as effective for treating pain as NSAIDs in several studies. One of the most effective, natural anti-inflammatories out there is turmeric (active component: curcumin), the main spice in curry, and the reason mustard is yellow. It has more than two dozen anti-inflammatory compounds and its benefits have been widely studied. Turmeric has been shown to outperform many pharmaceuticals in its effective fight against several chronic, debilitating diseases with virtually no side effects, including: arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis), fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, certain cancers, depression, inflammatory skin conditions, gallbladder and liver disorders, bronchitis, heartburn, and more. So as the power of mighty turmeric makes its way into health headlines, know that this isn’t just any trendy super food. Slowly, we are coming to understand what other cultures have practiced for generations: that food can be medicine. Turmeric is one spice you can start weaving into your diet not only for its subtle, bitter flavor, but for its medicinal benefits, too. By taking small steps toward an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, you will set yourself up to cultivate sustained, vibrant health.

Transitioning to Eating Healthy and Clean! How to Make the Shift… By Dr. Mary Riggin

re you starting to transition into healthy eating and finding that there’s a lot of information out there and some that is even conflicting? What does “eating healthy” or “eating clean” mean to you? I recently had a conversation with a new patient that indicated she ate “healthy”. I asked her, “What does that mean to you?” Her response was, I don’t eat fast food, or processed frozen dinners, and I eat a lot of fresh produce. At first look, this seemed good to me, but then I asked how often she ate “out”. She told me daily, but she orders salads, and grilled chicken. I then asked about fast food, she said “sometimes, but I always get a salad.” When I was first in practice, and someone told me they “ate healthy”, I assumed they knew what that meant. However, over the course of the past decade, healthy eating has become quite confusing. In the past, that meant - Low fat, calorie counting, portion control, whole grains, and following the “food pyramid.” Here’s the thing, in our “modern food world” none of those things make a difference in your health if you are consuming food grown and processed in the USA. The reason is simple - our food supply is inundated with genetically modified organisms (GMO), pesticides (some produce items have as many as 67 per serving), cloned meats, and animal products that have been produced using animals that have been raised by industrialized farms and given antibiotics and hormones as part of their daily menu. You can get more information about this issue from the Environmental Working Group - an organization that tests the top 50 produce items annually, and puts out a list that has them numbered from the most pesticides to the least. These have come to be known as the “dirty dozen” and the “clean fifteen” list. They go on to say that if you just switch the dirty dozen items to organic, you can eliminate about 80% of the pesticides you are consuming. But, be aware, there is no way to know if something is GMO, unless it’s organic. If it’s labeled organic, it is not GMO - that’s the only way to know. So, let’s go back to what I consider “eat-

28 september 2016 • Tampa Bay Wellness

ing healthy and clean” actually mean. When we start looking deeper at our foods, there are chemicals everywhere! From the pesticides, to the antibiotics and hormones used in commercial meat farming, to added preservatives and flavors, it is extremely difficult to get away from some form of chemical in our modern American food supply. Clean eating isn’t simply removing the processed food from your diet - it also requires looking much deeper. Considering all the current issues, it’s important to get back to basics. If we look at basic anatomy and physiology - every day your body uses the food you eat to rebuild and repair the body’s various organs and systems. So, consider your food as a fuel source. Your body uses the food as fuel and the building materials to repair your body. Any type of natural medicine, like Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, depend upon your willingness to change behavior to get the most optimal result possible. In other words, what you eat will determine how well or not, you will do with your treatment plan. The doctor can stimulate your body’s ability to heal, mend and repair, but if you don’t give your body the high quality fuel it needs to accomplish the rebuild and repair, you won’t get as good of a result. I have many patients that do not follow my food recommendations and still get a result, but they will hit a ceiling eventually, simply because they are not using the best building materials available. I like to use the example of remodeling a kitchen or bathroom. You can hire the best skilled contractor

to build you that new kitchen, but when you shop for the materials, if you get the cheapest particle board cabinets available, and the cheapest faucet, and the cheapest appliances, that new kitchen will only last a few years. The materials for the rebuild make all the difference in how long the remodel will last. So now the question becomes; “What are the building materials you are using for your body’s rebuild and repair?” Remember, your body was designed to rebuild and repair on a daily basis - what we do to enhance that process is the difference between feeling great, or just “fine”. What are you doing to help your body rebuild and repair? If you are using natural medicine to help your health - eating cleaner, meaning organic and home-made - will help that process and you will get the best results possible from your natural healthcare program. The simplest way to start eating healthy is to eat home-made food, stick to organic as much as possible - especially the dirty dozen list, and avoid foods that come out of boxes, bags, jars, and if it does have a nutrition label; read the ingredients label! Keep it short and understandable, and you will be off to a great start! To become a “master” at staying healthy, keep getting educated! The more you understand, and the deeper you go, the better your results will be! Be well, stay healthy, and remember to eat every day so your body can heal, mend and repair!
