What’s in your eye vitamins?

By Mark S. Siegel

Americans spend billions of dollars each year on vitamins, some of which are eye vitamins. But not all of these products have the ingredients and dosages that have been proven effective in clinical trials.

Researchers have analyzed popular eye vitamins to determine whether their formulas and claims are consistent with scientific findings. They found that some of the top-selling products do not contain identical ingredient dosages to eye vitamin formulas proven effective in clinical trials. In addition, the study found that claims made on the products’ promotional materials lack scientific evidence.

The leading cause of blindness among older adults in the United States is agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). A specific formula of nutritional supplements is recommended for AMD treatment when the disease is at certain stages. This is based on two landmark clinical trials known as

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Medical Director, Sea Island Ophthalmology

www. seaislandophthalmology.com

AREDS and AREDS2. These studies found that high doses of antioxidants and zinc could slow the worsening of AMD in those who have intermediate AMD and those with advanced AMD in only one eye.

The first study included beta-carotene in its formula but, due to beta-carotene’s link to increased risk of lung cancer in smokers, this was replaced with related nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin. The two studies prompted a surge in sales of eye supplements that are marketed as containing the AREDS or AREDS2 formulas. To test whether the products are consistent with the

studies’ findings, researchers compared the ingredients in 11 products from the five top-selling brands to the exact formulas proven effective by AREDS and AREDS2. They found that, while all of the products studied contained the ingredients from the AREDS or AREDS2 formulas: • Only four of the products had equivalent doses of AREDS or AREDS2 ingredients • Another four of the products contained lower doses of all the AREDS or AREDS2 ingredients • Four of the products also included additional vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts that are not part of the AREDS or AREDS2 formulas All 11 of the products’ promotional materials contained claims that the supplements “support,” “protect,” “help” or “promote” vision and eye health, but none had statements specifying that nutritional

supplements have only been proven effective in people with specific stages of AMD. There were also no statements clarifying that there is insufficient evidence to support the routine use of nutritional supplements for primary prevention of eye diseases such as AMD and cataracts.

People considering taking eye vitamins should talk with their ophthalmologist about whether these nutritional supplements are right for them. Those who are already taking eye vitamins should compare the ingredients with the AREDS and AREDS2 formulas, below.

AREDS Vitamin C - 500 mg, Vitamin E - 400 IU, Zinc (zinc oxide) - 80 mg, Copper (cupric oxide) - 2 mg, Beta-carotene - 15 mg AREDS2 Vitamin C - 500 mg, Vitamin E - 400 IU, Zinc (zinc oxide) - 80 mg, Copper (cupric oxide) - 2 mg, Lutein - 10 mg, Zeaxathin - 2 mg

Energy Work Woo Woo

By Chris Suddeth

Ask any energy worker what 2014 was like, and they’re likely to tell you something along the lines of amazing, explosive growth. Expansion within the Energy Work Community has been phenomenal as evidenced by the turnout at the Inaugural TheraFest at TheraVista.

I’ve enjoyed, been comforted by, and benefitted from discovering and Chris interacting with Suddeth others like myself; but with any amazing, explosive growth, comes growing pains.

My growing pain, as well as some other colleagues I’ve noticed, is communication of exactly what we do as energy workers.

It certainly doesn’t help that we don’t really know what it is that we do because we are merely the intermediary of a healing. It also doesn’t help that we often spruce our sessions up (for good reason) with incense, incantations, burning sage, baying at the moon, caldrons, dead animal parts, and

4

AWAKENINGS

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

other sayings and doings. I’ll lump all this into what I’ll term, energy work woo woo.

Seriously, if you see me or call me, ask me what I do and it’s like I’m doing a book report on a book I didn’t read. I’m sure that I can speak for us all in saying that our intent is to avoid having energy work woo woo stand for “EWWW,” but we often fall short. I only know what we facilitate as energy workers qualify as miracle witnessing. Yes, miracles happen daily if we only just know where and how to look. Miracles are often hidden in plain sight.

For the purpose of this article, let’s set aside the cynics, because I will never again take on the roll of converting the nonbelievers; moreover, this is not a religion but spirituality. So, let’s focus on

the island news | january 8-14, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

those with a genuine interest. Don’t get me wrong fellow energy workers, I dig caldrons and moon baying and practice some of it myself; but I feel we’ve (myself included) been facilitating healings within ourselves and on other willing clients for so long, that we don’t notice what would be weird to an outsider. And not that we need to change the internal workings of ‘the art of non-doing’ once the session door closes, but this is a business. We are in the business of spreading joy, awareness, and enlightenment to others. The more the merrier rule applies as we feel our community’s oneness come to bear.

This is a problem to overcome if we want to bring the masses to modalities that are potential lifesavers and definite life enhancers. The value and talent is right here in Beaufort. Do I think that energy work is the wave of the future? No, I feel it’s the roots of our past illuminating the way of the NOW, that mainstream religion and the industrial revolution lulled us into buying so we could push a button, take a pill or speak to Gawd like he’s Santa Claus. Okay, I’ll abandon my rare trip to the soapbox now, and return to

quoting James Bond and This is Spinal Tap in my sessions along with a healthy dose of golf analogies sprinkled with NASCAR references. To paraphrase Paul Newman, “you gotta slow down to go fast.”So let’s take Clark Griswold’s boss in Christmas Vacation seriously when he tells Clark to just give him the report in laymen’s terms, not some insider technical jargon bulls$$$.

We need your help with this. Please smoke signal us via text with anecdotes and suggestions on how we can improve our communication. Give us roses and thorns please. What we’re doing well and what we can improve. Perhaps you’re already on board the energy work woo woo train, but have a loved one that could benefit if they could just wrap their mind around the nuances of what we do.

When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5 year old, Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing®, Intuitive Healing, as well as teaching all three levels of Reiki attunement classes.

Make it a good one

By Takiya Smith

Wow...it’s 2015 and can you believe just how fast 2014 flew by? I mean, I can literally recall siting at my laptop and tapping away at one of my last articles, “So, here’s the deal,” in which I spoke of what I was going to personally do in 2014. More time with my children, more time with my family, more time for myself and less time as a product of all business only. I was going to live it up and let loose, relax a little, take a load off and experience life. Well, in true form and fashion, I did that all. I traveled, I ate like a culinary connoisseur, I slept in on days off and days on, I got on my kids’ nerves, because every day was a ‘bonding’ day. I called, sent texts, instant messaged, wrote, emailed and visited every friend I possibly could. I stopped shopping in Rue 21, because according to my now 17 year old daughter, she and I should never shop at the same store; and, I even managed to cut off all my hair and lightened it to blonde…Blonde of all colors!

One would think I was having a mid-life crisis when in fact, I was really finding me.

It was a blast!

Looking back on 2014, trust me when I say that it was not always all fun and games, good times and laughter. I shed quite a few tears, I lost in order to gain and I even dealt with not one but 2 severe blows to my health that could have dictated life or death; but, as I reflect on all that was and what is now to come, I am grateful, humbled, ready and willing to face this next year with all that I want it to be. The coming year should be a

time of focus and faith to do that in which you choose to focus on. Gone are the days of sitting and waiting for‘it’ to happen. Life stops for no one, as I am sure that every eye reading this paper can relate to the loss or suffering of at least one loved one in this past year.

Don’t bury the memories of your sufferings, losses or past failures but use them to spark a flame that will ignite a torch that can’t be extinguished within you. This year I am purposing to use every past mistake, misstep, triumph and trial as my platform to help any and every one that I can. I have personally learned that it is not what we ‘go’ through that makes us stronger, but it’s in the fact that we ‘got’ through which helps make others stronger. Live your life and love it. Own it.

Be it. Happy New Year...now, let’s make it a good one!

Beaufort’s finest homes. After dinner, guests will progress to the Ball for an evening of dancing, silent auctions, and elaborate desserts. Because each dinner party is unique and carefully orchestrated, they are always the most popular topic of conversation at the ball.

Since its inception in 1990, the Valentine Ball has raised nearly $4.2 million for the not-for-profit hospital.

Proceeds from the 2015 event will help finance the renovation and much-needed expansion of the Intensive Care Unit

(ICU) on the second floor of the hospital.

The new unit will be able to accommodate 50% more patients, equipped with state-of-the-art cardiac monitors, lift equipment, and special ICU beds. It will also include thoughtfully designed family consultation and waiting rooms. Tickets to the 26th Annual Valentine Ball start at $150 per person, which includes the preball dinner party.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

Volunteer Laurie Shay

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer There are fifteen beds on the mental health floor at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. During any given week, the floor is full with no prejudice given to race, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, active duty or veteran status. Group sessions hold an audience that defines the word “diverse,” which accentuates the fact that mental illness affects everyone.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness, which includes major depression, major anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia.

We are fortunate to have the 2012 National NAMI affiliate of the year right here in Beaufort County, and they are champions at advocating for access to services, treatment, support and research as well as raise awareness to build a community for hope for all those in need.

The local NAMI chapter provides programs of support for people with mental illness and their families,

8

always without charge. Additionally, NAMI provides one-on-one support for anyone in crisis, referrals to community resources including crisis and long-term counseling and apartments in Hilton Head and Beaufort. One of these programs is NAMI’s evidence based Family-toFamily Education Program beginning Saturday, January 10th. Family-toFamily is a free 12-session education program for family caregivers of adults living with mental illness. It will be held Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. until 12 Noon at Harrington Place, 1211 Harrington Street in Beaufort. The course provides a broad perspective that will help parents, spouses, siblings and adult children better understand and support loved ones living with mental illness.

Laurie Shay has volunteered for NAMI since the winter of 2013. She is a facilitator for two support groups, called Connections, a mentor for the Peer-to-Peer program and a speaker for the In Our Own Voice presentation.

She recently joined the Board of the local affiliation.

“I chose to volunteer for NAMI because I believe in their cause.

the island news | january 8-14, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

Educating people about mental illness is key to the recovery of the mentally ill. Without a proper support system including, but not limited to caregivers, doctors, therapists, teachers, and clergy, recovery is hopeless. NAMI ‘s programs help to facilitate the development of the network necessary for the mentally ill to reach and maintain stability in their daily living,” explains Shay.

Shay has suffered with mental illness since she was a teenager. She is now 53. Her diagnosis is Bipolar Type 2. Although her treatment has been sporadic, through years of perseverance, ongoing counseling and medication, she has obtained stability in her life.

“Traversing the mental health system wasn’t easy, but worth the effort,” says Shay.

“Finding the services necessary for treatment of the mentally ill individual can be a taunting task. It takes a core group of people to overcome the obstacles. Finding a good doctor and therapist, and educating the mentally ill individual along with their caregivers is paramount to treatment. This process can be expensive, frustrating, and demeaning because of the pervasive

stigma toward mental illness, but with persistence, recovery is possible,” she adds.

NAMI has become the nation’s voice on mental illness with NAMI organizations in every state and in over 1,100 local communities across the country who join together to meet the NAMI mission.

“Treatment of mental illness as a disease and not some curse or fictitious ailment requires us to remove the fear around mental illness through educating people.

That is what NAMI is all about,” explains Shay.

wine

By Celia Strong

Playing with a Barbi wine. Not a Barbie doll. Phew! So we get to travel some more this week. Learn some more. Drink some more. All good things. And fun things and good prices too, which you’ll see when we get to the end. Only bad news is that what we are going to learn about and taste this week is a limited quantity. There’s enough for us all to try some, but after that it’s first come, first gets. Darn.

So we are traveling to Italy this.

Tuscany to be exact. To a town called “Montalcino,” which is located about one hundred twenty miles south of Florence.

The town is an old medieval village, in the province of Siena. There are only about three thousand acres of vines planted in Montalcino, compared to Chianti’s forty-one thousand acres. This area is one of the warmest and driest in all of Tuscany. It receives about one third less rain per year, about twenty-seven and a half inches, than Chianti does with over thirty-five inches. Vineyards on northern facing slopes ripen more slowly, it’s cooler with less sunshine each day, and the wines are racier and more aromatic.

Vineyards on southern and western facing slopes get more intense sunlight and more winds blowing across them and these wines have more power and complexity. The best Brunello producers (more on this wine in a tiny second) use grapes from both types of vineyards.

The Sangiovese grapes from this area are a particular clone which has adapted itself to the area’s specific “terroir,” soil and climate.

There are several wines that come from this town. Brunello di Montalcino which is a DOCG level wine since 1980, their top, top level. It is made from all Sangiovese grapes, even though they used to be called “Brunello.” In 1879, it was determined that Brunello and Sangiovese were the same variety. The name “Brunello” was the diminutive of the name “Bruno,” which means “brown” in Italian. It’s not clear, though, if the name meant brownish colored grapes or brown-ish colored wine. (Not too sure I really want to know what was brown-ish. Ugh!) Brunellos are aged wines, so who knows. The first record of Brunello red wines is from the early

fourteenth century. In 1980, Brunello di Montalcino was the first wine awarded DOCG status.

Another wine from the town of Montacino is the Rosso de Montalcino.

Basically, this is a lesser version of the Brunello. Less expensive, not aged as long, nor does it need to be, made from grapes from younger vines. All those sorts of things. But, no scoffing. This is our wine! The Rosso di Montacino DOC was established in 1984. It was meant to give Brunello producers some options and flexibility. Brunello wines require long aging times, at the winery and at home, and all the grapes were not always as good as they needed to be to make Brunello. (The Biondi-Santi firm, the first and still one of the very best Brunello producers, has been making Brunellos for several generations. When World War II ended, they had only declared four vintages - 1888, 1891, 1925, and 1945. By the 1950’s, there were only eleven Brunello producers.

And, when Brunello got DOCG status in 1980, there were just over fifty producers.) Seems clear they needed some relief.

Anyhow. Rosso di Montalcino, the DOC, was established in 1984.

Specifically so that Brunello producers got what they needed. Options for less than the best grapes to still be used, flexibility to make younger, less aged wines, and, the big thing, to make some income while their longer-aging Brunellos were not yet ready to sell.

Rosso di Montalcinos are still made from one hundred percent Sangiovese grapes.

And these grapes must be grown in the same marked land where Brunello grapes grow. The Rosso di Montalcino wines must be aged in oak for a minimum of six months and one year total aging before released for sale. Meaning in its bottle. In some vintages, like the ones that are not that good, producers sometimes choose

the island news | january 8-14, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

to make just Rosso wine, no Brunellos.

Some cash right away and no mediocre, or worse, wines to detract from their reputations. Or, another option, if a Brunello wine has been aging for two or three years and it just isn’t getting as good as it should, producers can “declassify” these wines to Rossos and sell them immediately. Stylistically, Rosso di Montalcino wines are lighter and fresher than Brunellos. And they can be drunk younger.

Recently, there has been a bit of a scandal with Brunello wines. And, don’t we all just love good gossip!

In September, 2014, a man in the Montacino area was investigated, with other wine workers also. Seems the police found almost twenty thousand gallons of wine that were labeled Brunello and almost twenty-four thousand gallons of what was supposedly Rosso di Montalcino. And a bunch of fake labels, too. Apparently, large quantities of fake wines were allegedly sold between 2011 and 2013. Because the Italian wine laws for the production of Brunello wines are very strict, the culprits were caught. There was a paper trail at one winery that showed it had produced way too much wine. The owner knew nothing about it and he and the Brunello Consortium Committee went to the police!

And, now, it’s time to learn about our wine. The Fattoria dei Barbi Rosso di Montalcino, 2010. The Fattoria dei Barbi was founded in 1790 by the Colombini family. They had owned their land since 1352. Barbi is one of the oldest, continually functioning winemaking estates in Montacino. A twentieth generation heir still owns and runs it - Stefano Cinelli Colombini.

Barbi made their first Brunello wine in 1892, not far behind the Biondi-Santi.

Their wines received top awards across Europe. Today, they own just over seven hundred-fifty acres, with one hundred ninety-three of them planted with vines. One hundred and ten of these in Montalcino. They make about sixtyseven thousand cases total - seventeen thousand of Brunello, eight thousand of Rosso di Montalcino, and other DOCs from the area. They are one of the most respected of the two hundred or so

Brunello producers that exist now. Our wine is sourced from the younger vines on this estate. There are about one hundred acres located in the southeastern part of Montalcino. The vines are planted five thousand two hundred per acre on two types of soil. Gravel and clay, which gives the wines power, and sandy soil which enhances the wines’ aromatics.

After harvesting, the grapes are coldsoaked before fermentation, for about forty-eight hours, under a CO2 blanket to avoid oxidation. This augments the color intensity, softens the astringency and tannins of the finished wine, and adds more body and aromas to the wine.

Then, the temperature is raised and the alcoholic fermentation starts. It takes twelve to thirteen days. And malo-lactic fermentation is done. Then, the wine is aged in small, oak barrels for six months.

The 2010 Barbi Rosso di Montalcino is a ruby red color, and aromas of cherries, red currants, red raspberries come popping out of your glass. The wine is medium bodied, has smooth tannins and a long, long finish. And bit of spiciness on the very end. Because this Sangiovese is not quite the same as the one grown for Chiantis, these wines are quite different.

And, what can we eat with this great new wine? Meat sauces for pastas. Roasted meats of all kinds - pork, chicken, beef.

But game birds and venison, too. Stews.

Seafood. Asiago cheese. For $17.97.

Ok. Hungry now. And thirsty. Forget the dolls, gotta go play with my glass of Barbi. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

Are you still using pee pads?

BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

Housebreaking means the dog never eliminates in the house. Not even a little bit. Not even once in a while. Not on pee pads. Never. Housebreaking is a people problem, not a dog problem.

Housebreaking is essential, and it’s entirely possible — for all dogs, all breeds, big and teeny tiny, young or old. What people fail to understand is that dogs do not come with the “pee outside” software installed. It is a learned skill and you are The Teacher.

Your responsibility is to tackle the project with consistency, positive reinforcement and patience. Here are some basics: 1. Establish a schedule. Dogs love routine. It makes them feels secure and it takes the responsibility off their shoulders about what to do next. Dogs like to get up at the same time, go out at the same time, take their walks and eat on schedule. A routine teaches her that there are times to eat, times to play and times to potty.

2. Never leave your un-housebroken dog unattended. During training you must have eyes on the dog at all times.

Having the dog in the same room with you doesn’t count. It’s too easy to get distracted, answer the phone, turn away for just a sec. And bam! Raisinettes.

The easiest solution is to confine your dog to his crate, his “den”—a cozy, warm private apartment full of snuggly blankets and toys. Or you can gate the dog in a small area where you plan to

However, if you’re dead set against a crate and don’t want to mess up your décor with an unsightly gate, then your only other option is to tether your dog to you so that no matter where you go, she’s right beside you. Loop the leash around your waist and clip to the collar.

The lead shouldn’t be any longer than 4 feet. Inconvenient? Sure is. You can either suck it up or use a crate/gate.

2. Feed your dog on a schedule. With an all-day buffet you have no idea how much goes in, when it goes in and no idea of when it needs to come out. Freefeeding is a dumb idea across the board.

3. Be ready to reward for good behavior. Shortly after a meal, take your pup outside while exclaiming “outside! outside!” (or words to that effect) to a designated area. Issue a cue word--“go

potty” (or words to that effect), stay in the area, no wandering, and wait. As your pup is completing her business, you’re fishing a high value treat out of your pocket ready to swoop down, treat and praise praise praise within 3 seconds upon completion. Use your Smurf voice. Sound joyful. And then go back in the house immediately. After a short time, she’ll recognize that she makes you happy when she eliminates outdoors, and in return she receives

a reward. You want to reinforce that good behavior every time it happens, and there’s no better reward in the beginning than those yummy treats.

Once your dog is fully housetrained, you can reduce and eventually eliminate the food treats and offer only verbal praise for her good potty habits.

4. DO NOT punish for mistakes. If your pup makes a mistake it’s your fault, not hers. You missed an opportunity, missed a signal or just got bored with the whole thing. Punishing a dog once the deed is done only pushes her to become sneaky because, after all, she has no idea what you’re yelling about an hour after she’s pee’d . From your dog’s perspective, you’re the center of her universe except every once in awhile, unpredictably, you turn into a scary, screaming lunatic. Clean it up, don’t mention it and keep moving forward.

There are millions of dogs in shelters across the country simply because they were never trained. There are millions of dogs crapping, if you’re lucky, on pee pads in the house (disgusting!). So make your schedule, buy your gate and stick to your plan. Your pup wants to please. Show her the way.

The course provides a broad perspective that will help parents, spouses, siblings and adult children better understand and support loved ones living with mental illness, while taking care of their own needs.

“Mental illness does not involve just one person,” said NAMI Beaufort County Board President John Aiello, “Entire families are affected. NAMI offers help and hope to families.

They know first-hand what families face.”

The course provides information about major mental illnesses and current research on their biological aspects; information about treatment strategies and prospects for recovery; empathy based on the “lived experience” of a person living with mental illness; specific skills for communication, problem-solving and handling crises and relapse; coping skills for family caregivers to alleviate worry, stress and emotional overload; and guidance on finding appropriate mental health care and supports in the community and how to advocate for them. Mental illness includes major depression, major anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia.

Join church members in blessing Beaufort waters

Fr. James Bozeman and the members of St. James Orthodox Church will bless the waters surrounding Beaufort, South Carolina on Sunday, January 11, 2015.

He and his parishioners will make their way to Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park at 12:30 p.m., walking in a procession into the park, where a service referred to as “The Great Blessing of the Waters” will be served by Fr James. This service is a part of the commemoration of the baptism of Jesus Christ by St John the Baptist, and is celebrated each year as part of Holy Theophany (or “Epiphany”), on January 6th.

The term “theophany” refers to the “shining forth” or the “revelation” of Jesus Christ in the world, according to Christian tradition. Jesus Christ’s ministry in his earthly life is reckoned as beginning with his baptism in the Jordan River when he was thirty years old.

St James Orthodox Church, a mission parish of the Orthodox Church in America, is located at 1014 Charles Street in Beaufort. Services are offered on Saturdays (Great Vespers, 6:00 pm), Sundays (Divine Liturgy at 9:30 am) and Wednesdays (Little Compline and Catechsim/Study Group), as well as liturgies on the feast days of the Church year.
