OPINION

Woodford Files What a glorious time of year this is. From walking in local parks ablaze with fall colours, to strolling through farmers’ markets bulging with pumpkins and gourds, there’s so many ways to feast our senses on the fall. Harvest season is a time when we enjoy the fruits of our labours, and the Vitality staff have been toiling for long hours to get our magazine and Expo Showguide ready for press, so we hope you enjoy the end result. Alas, we were a week late getting this issue out on the street, so hopefully you find it was worth the wait.

This month we bring you an updated feature by Holistic Nutritionist Julie Daniluk on “Superfoods for Longevity.” Here you’ll find the lifestyle practices and foods that are favoured by supercentenarians in the ‘longevity zones’ around the world, from coconut oil in Costa Rica to olives in Greece. By introducing more of these superfoods into our own kitchens, we can munch on longevity-promoting meals all year round. To help you do it, Julie has included several recipes that integrate international superfoods with the local harvest, including her famous “No-Bake Pumpkin Pie” that I look forward to trying.

While contemplating what yummy meals to cook up, you’ll want to find ways to reduce or eliminate sugar from your recipes in order to keep your blood sugar levels down. This month, Dr. Zoltan Rona’s feature on “The Link Between Cancer and

High Blood Sugar” warns us that: “Diabetes (or even simply high blood sugar) is associated with increased risks for several cancers including colon, breast, pancreatic, liver, uterine, and bladder cancers, as well as Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.”

Yikes!

Fortunately, Dr. Rona also offers guidance on strategies, foods, and supplements that are most effective at decreasing blood sugar levels and keeping them within a safe range that prevents cancer cell proliferation.

While working to optimize our insides, it’s also possible to nourish our outside with supplements that rejuvenate the skin and its supporting structures. From biotin for nourishing hair, to collagen for plumping skin cells, industry expert Amanda Burke explains the natural approach to anti-aging in her feature this month, offering the best strategies that can help to keep us out of the plastic surgeon’s office.

....................

Meantime, mark your calendar for November 8, 9, and 10 when Whole Life Expo comes to town. This is Toronto’s most popular annual gathering of healers, therapists, and health professionals ready to pamper and rejuvenate attendees. And the food, ohhh the marvellous food, from a smorgasbord of vegan and vegetarian meals, to yummy treats like almond cheese, chia pudding, pumpkin seed snacks, healthy snack bars, organic chocolate, and more.

Bring your appetite! To top it off, this year the Expo is offering the best ticket prices ever. From free admission on Friday, to lowcost Day Passes for Sat. & Sun., this event offers terrific value. See Showguide in this issue for program details. Come and see us at the Vitality booth #231. JW

Lyme Disease as a Biological Weapon

After he died in 2014, a five-year freedom-of-information battle for the Burgdorfer papers ensued. What they ultimately revealed was that artificially altered Lyme ticks had been experimentally and/or accidentally let loose on the American public to test their effectiveness as biological weapons by the government of the time. (As a result of Newby’s book, the U.S. Congress has initiated an investigation of the Pentagon’s role in the dissemination of Lyme as a biological weapon through weaponized ticks, starting in the 60s.)

Burgdorfer’s research papers also revealed that he forcefed ticks various pathogens (bacteria, viruses) which became part of the microbiome of subsequent generations of ticks. This might have been the first biotech experiment in history. It certainly worked. The intention was to make these ticks much more “effective” so that entire populations of selected humans could theoretically be sickened because their immune systems would not have evolved a defence against this cocktail of pathogens, as Burgdorfer himself explained. Most importantly, these ticks were now known to be carriers of chronic disease with a “special affinity for brain tissue.”

At the time this research was being conducted in the 1960s, the medical community bought into this “national security” project aimed at keeping the West safe from Communism. The obvious fact that infectious diseases cannot be confined geographically, and that any spirochetal disease is sexually transmissible, never crossed those bright minds. One especially harmful result of this politicized medicine became the longstanding war between the Infectious Disease Society (IDSA) and the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). The IDSA serves government policy, insurance company interests, and vaccine producers’ ambitions faithfully while also hugely benefitting financially from this cooperation. This is not surmise, but heavily documented. ILADS, however, steadfastly works for patients in a clinically responsible and scientifically-based way that enrages and threatens those seeking profit and protecting government priorities.

Modern Lyme Disease Linked to Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis

So the Lyme disease that is circulating today worldwide is no longer the ancient infectious disease found in fossilized dinosaurs 99 million years ago, and which was encountered

by Upper Paleolithic deer hunters 50,000 years ago. That old form of borrelia was successfully treated by the earliest antibiotics close to a hundred years ago.

On the other hand, the modern weaponized form of borreliosis can also cause Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple sclerosis, ALS, brain damaged fetuses born to Lyme 8

infected mothers, scleroderma, heart disease, arthritis, heart attacks due to Lyme bacteria in the heart, strokes from Lyme brain, and more. It is by design the ‘Great Deregulator’ of all bodily systems. The Centres for Disease Control estimate that close to half a million new cases occur annually in North America. In fact, Lyme infections are now double of that of cancer.

So the modern borellia bacteria is a human-made biological weapon created in the U.S. Shortly after WW II it had a parallel creation effort in the former Soviet Union. Both projects were the brainchild of a Nazi biological warfare expert, Dr. Erich Traub. He later continued his work at a government laboratory on Plum Island, New York, after he was imported for research purposes during the Eisenhower administration under Operation Paperclip. Current weaponized ticks were created by brilliant minds who, in the excitement of scientific experimentation and the idealism of the day that justified killing or incapacitating Communist populations, lost their ethical compass starting in the 1950s. This was done at U.S. taxpayers’ expense by employees of the National Institutes of Health. By 1966, 57 U.S. universities were working for the top 500 bio-warfare research contractors in the country. In Bitten, the terrible anguish that Willy Burgdorfer experienced in his final years over the horrible situation he had created becomes painfully clear.

Brilliant Minds Tinker with Dangerous Microbes

Those weaponized ticks accidentally escaped from Plum Island, probably on the bodies of migrating birds. Hence, the Ground Zero maps show Lyme outbreaks originating around Long Island Sound, Connecticut, New York State, and then on up into Ontario. Newby calls it “the American Chernobyl.” In 2005, lawyer Michael Carroll published a book called Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Germ Laboratory based on the first available information on that U.S. government laboratory under Dr. Erich Traub, whose successor was Willy Burgdorfer and who was more successful than the Nazis had been.

Burgdorfer’s job included experimenting with the Plague bacteria (Yersinia pestis), which had killed some 50 million people in the 14th century. He was trying to see if the Plague could be become resident in the microbiome of fleas and become transmissible through generations.

Fortunately, that failed. Efforts were then made to find ways by which antibiotics could be rendered ineffective.

That, too, failed until the age of pesticides and antibiotic overuse did the trick instead. Burgdorfer told Newby that the U.S. government knew that Lyme is chronic: it was designed to be so. The deliberate inclusion of a virus in the cocktail of force-fed pathogens, now part of the tick’s DNA replication process, was done to ensure that there would be no antigen response in an infected person; the virus would prevent that. Hence all those problems with reliable testing.

On the Politics and Treatment of Lyme

Canada’s cooperation over the decades with this Lyme experiment is well documented in Bitten. My own encounter with that happened in 2009 when I was preparing the book Ending Denial – The Lyme Disease Epidemic, for Canadian readers. On April 22, then NDP Leader Jack Layton wrote in an email that he had approached then Minister of Health, Tony Clement, asking him why there was no proper Lyme test available in Canada. Clement replied that Layton’s request for information was denied “on the basis of national security.” This is officially defined 10

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

www.vitalitymagazine.com

as something “containing information which would reasonably be expected to be injurious to the conduct of international affairs, the defense of Canada, or any state allied or associated with Canada….”

In 2014, thanks to the efforts of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May, a Bill was passed and unanimously supported by all MPs in the House of Commons, which mandates proper Lyme tests for Canadians and the inclusion of the treatment guidelines of ILADS. Nothing much has happened since then. The national security interest is difficult to dislodge. The mainstream medical profession is still mostly unable to take effective action against Lyme in Canada. Fortunately, naturopaths have found some success with treating Lyme using bio-resonance therapy, which does not require antibiotics. For more details on this, see my earlier article: Success Story: How I Recovered from the Devastating Effects of Lyme Disease, posted at: https://vitalitymagazine.com/article/success-story-how-irecovered-from-lyme-disease-and-hypothyroidism/.

The likelihood of Medicare covering treatment for Lyme disease is remote. Ironically, the cost of treating preventable forms of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS, etc. to the national purse does not seem to concern our politicians.

However, if you have the money, the know-how, and a mistrust of public health authorities, you are highly likely to find an effective treatment for Lyme – in the U.S., Germany, and India, or with Canadian naturopaths. Science is on our side and excellent tests are available. Just not here.

Conclusion

What hope do we have going forward? Readers will react most likely as I did – with a sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs. However, humanity has survived world wars, plagues, and the Holocaust. While individuals are sacrificed by the millions, the creative spirit remains indestructible and finds solutions and develops insights never dreamed of before. Lyme disease certainly is a humanmade disaster just like Chernobyl was, but even there today the birds fly, nest, and reproduce again. Brilliant scientists and dedicated physicians have cured tens of thousands of Lyme victims and continue to do so. I have been cured twice. What does this horrible story say about us? That we are destructive and creative, diabolical and divine, sometimes all at the same time.

Lifestyles of the Longest-Lived People Contrary to the gene theory, it is our lifestyle choices that make the greatest impact on longevity. Dan Buettner, a National Geographic explorer and author of The Blue Zones, has reported on distinct lifestyle practices which many people living over 100 with vitality have in common. The longest-living people reside in the following regions: Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Ogliastra Region, Sardinia; Loma Linda, California; and Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. Before looking at their diet, let’s review a few of the lifestyle habits that are common among the longest living on earth: 1) Do Authentic Movement: All long-lived people get lots of exercise from physical work in gardens, farms, and around 16

COCONUT – has different parts and uses: the liquid water portion contains high levels of B vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and vitamin C; the dried kernel (copra) is mainly fat and used for oil extraction. The fatty acid profile of coconut is what makes it one of today’s most popular superfoods – coconut oil is one of the richest sources of a saturated fat called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).

These MCTs are absorbed and used quickly by the body as a source of energy, or are converted to ketone bodies beneficial for brain health. Coconuts and coconut oil also contain flavonoids and other polyphenols that act as antioxidants, protecting against free radicals, oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and cancer. www.vitalitymagazine.com

COCOA – Not only is cocoa delightful to eat, it contains approximately 380 bioactive compounds such as polyphenols (catechins) and methylxanthines. In fact, cocoa has a higher level of phenols than green tea and red wine, making it a powerful antioxidant. Studies show that regular consumption of cocoa rich in polyphenols is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and cancer.

The high polyphenol profile increases HDL, decreases LDL, and improves blood sugar and blood pressure.

SARDINIA DANDELION GREENS – These rank high in overall nutritional value amongst leafy greens and are loaded with antioxidants such as polyphenols, plus vitamins A and C. Their antioxidant potential is of significance for longevity because it decreases oxidative stress (which underlies the disease process) and slows down the aging of cells.

Dandelion greens are also wonderful for protecting the liver and supporting its role as the body’s main detoxification organ, clearing toxins that can both age us and increase our risk of diseases.

FENNEL – In Indian and Greek mythology, fennel symbolizes longevity and immortality. Part of the parsley family, fennel is used both as a vegetable and a spice. It is well known as a natural remedy for digestive disorders, and also acts as an antiinflammatory food, reducing the risk of disease and increasing antioxidant activity in the body.

SEAWEED – contains many bioactive compounds and polysaccharides that are not found in any terrestrial plants.

Studies comparing Japanese to Western diets have linked the consumption of seaweed to a decrease in chronic diseases such as cancer, cholesterol, and heart disease.

isms including salmonella, E. coli, Staph aureus, and H. pylori to name a few.

OLIVES – and olive oil are staples in the diets of those who populate countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. These people tend to have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and enjoy increased longevity and life expectancy. Olives are high in oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid) and phenols, both beneficial for normalizing cholesterol levels.

Olive oil contains the highest amount of squalene (a plant-based fat) compared to other seasoning oils, and is the compound linked to chemoprotection and lower incidence of cancers seen in those who consume a Mediterranean diet. Olive oil’s components are anti-inflammatory and play a role in decreasing the inflammation involved in bone resorption in postmenopausal women, decreasing the risk of osteoporosis.

CALIFORNIA AVOCADOS – Consumers of avocados get significantly more vitamin K, E, potassium, and magnesium than those who skip this fruit. Avocados are also high in the B vitamins, choline, phytosterols, and healthy fats which support a wide range of health benefits. The daily consumption of avocados has been shown as beneficial for keeping cholesterol levels and body weight healthy. Avocados contain good levels of both vitamin C and E, as well as xanthophylls (a class of carotenoids), all acting as antioxidants to protect against DNA damage. Not only are avocados great at supporting longevity internally, they also inhibit the aging of skin due to their highly bioavailable lutein and zeaxanthin levels that protect against UV damage.

SPIRULINA – is a microalgae rich in carotenoids and antioxidant compounds. Spirulina has been reported to decrease oxidative stress and reduce cholesterol levels. The exact compound in spirulina responsible for lowering cholesterol levels is still unknown but is suspected to be phycocyanin, a protein. Phycocyanin is also important for cancer prevention, along with beta-carotenoids which potentially

Otherwise, you may wish to add in the banana for extra creaminess. All of these ingredients feed the brain and provide the mental focus and energy you need to get up and go first thing in the morning.

1 large avocado 1 tsp spirulina 1 cup coconut beverage (2% coconut milk) 1 Tbsp sunflower lecithin 4 Tbsp lemon juice 1 Tbsp inositol powder (use more stevia if you don’t have this) 10 drops stevia liquid or 1 Tbsp of raw honey Optional Ingredients: 1 banana 2 Tbsp hemp hearts 1 Tbsp gelatin 1-2 Tbsp coconut butter Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until well mixed. Pour into a bowl and garnish with berries and hemp hearts. (Makes 4 servings.)

Nourish Your Beauty ~ Inside and Out 5 Nutrients That Switch on the Body’s Innate Capacity for Anti-Aging

BY AMANDA BURKE, CNP, BA

I

f you want to increase your odds of staying youthful, and reverse the factors that are causing your body to age, then I have some powerful suggestions.

Now that we have nutraceutical technology, the potential for beauty is unlimited. Indeed, the ability to turn back our ‘biological clock’ has never been more available.

When you learn about the innovative breakthroughs occurring in Biotin deficiency can nutraceuticals, as well as nutricosmetics, you can turn on the lead to hair loss, skin innate regenerative capacities issues, and weak nails; within your cells, like turning on replacing this nutrient a light switch. Match the missing can boost collagen pronutrient to the biological imbal- duction to strengthen ance that represents it, and presto, hair and skin a positive condition in your body occurs. With the right beauty nutrients, the cells are given what they require to blossom.

Here I will explore the nutrients that are most studied for their ability to activate and ‘switch on’ the body’s innate capacities for beauty. These nutrients can be found in food, but they are most easily accessed in the right therapeutic dose by taking them in a supplement form. In a nutraceutical, the nutrients are more concentrated to get you the result quicker, and easier, and they are also found in their most biologically active forms.

Biotin Biotin is required for healthy hair, skin, and nails. It is a water soluble vitamin from the B-complex family. A biotin deficiency becomes apparent when hair starts falling out, fingernails suffer repeated breakage, and/or skin develops a certain pallor.

Great food sources of biotin include bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, egg yolks, nuts, and supplements in 5 mg and 10 mg dosages as both capsules and liquids. Generally, a liquid form will be better absorbed by the body – especially good if you have digestive weakness or suffer from malabsorption. Always consider getting the best form of any nutri24

ent and couple with the best form of delivery (powders, gels, and liquids are excellent), so you can maximize the effectiveness of your supplement.

One example of a condition that B vitamin deficiency can cause is beriberi, a disease brought about by a severe B1 (thiamine) deficiency. The disease affects multiple organ systems and can even lead to dementia or congestive heart failure. When thiamine is completely absent in the diet, beriberi can result. But when thiamine is added back in, the problem can be easily reversed.[1] So we can see the importance of replacing a missing nutrient when our health suffers, because it can be the missing piece in what appears to be a complex puzzle. Here are some additional benefits of adding biotin to the diet: – Biotin has a protective role in the health of the myelin sheath according to a recent clinical study that examined the positive benefit of biotin on those suffering with MS.[2] – Biotin is a part of the B-complex family of vitamins and works synergistically with the other Bs to fight stress and relieve anxiety, making you feel younger and more energetic.

– Biotin is a water soluble vitamin and so you need it every day in your diet since your body does not store it – Like the other B-complex vitamins, Biotin is required for cellular metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates that give you energy and keep your body lean.

Silica Have you ever noticed just how lovely a quartz crystal is, or observed the smooth, resilient sheen of a cucumber skin?

What they both have in common is high concentrations of the mineral silica. This trace mineral is required by every single cell in the body. It is a necessary component in the Cellulite is not the only creation of collagen peptides, symptom of low elasticity and it is vital for cell hydration. and low density in the In addition, silica has other connective tissue; so are important roles to play: wrinkles. To reverse this, • Increases cellular vitality – adding an essential trace Silica is required for cellular mineral like silica can vitality and intercellular commake all the difference. munication because it helps to turn on electrical currents in the body which allow the cells to function. One German study showed that silica, in the form of colloidal silica gel taken internally, increased cellular vitality by 11% in the connective tissues alone.[3] Just imagine what it does in every cell of body, including the cells that make the hair, skin, and nails beautiful.

• Clears Cellulite Congestion – Cellulite is caused by the accumulation of waste products in connective tissues, along with low cellular density or elasticity in connective tissues.

For most women, cellulite shows up around the thighs and can cause discomfort psychologically and emotionally.

What a German study done on the colloidal gel form of silica concluded was that silicic acid can increase overall cellular vitality by 8% and cellular metabolism in the connective tissues by 17%. This is significant considering that the study took place over a short period of time and these results began to show up within three days. When the cells of the connective tissue have more vitality and are better able to expel waste and bring water into cells, we see a reversing of cellulite as a symptom of congestion.[4]

• Reduces Wrinkles – Cellulite is not the only symptom of low elasticity and low density in the connective tissue cells. So are wrinkles. As wrinkles form, what we see is a loosening of the cell structure and decreasing of cellular density. To reverse this, it’s not necessary to go under the knife or inject botulism. Adding an essential trace mineral can make all the difference.

A word of caution: Not all silica supplements are created equal, and some are synthesized in a laboratory. So look for silica supplements that are colloidal, and avoid ones that are artificially created. Also, while horsetail herb is a good source, it can strain the kidneys. Use with caution, avoiding daily intake over a long period of time.

Conversely, you can easily take silica regularly with most colloidal forms; look for as high a dose as possible. The highest dose on the market is 196 mg. If silica is one of a number of nutrients in a product formula, then this dose can be lower, because the product is more comprehensive and includes other things that work synergistically.

Collagen Everyone knows that sallow-looking skin can be given a boost with a collagen injection. However, you don’t have to get a needle in your face to increase collagen production for hair, skin, and nails. Supplementing the diet with collagen is a growing trend, especially in the West where the nutri-

cosmetics industry is growing rapidly. The concept and science behind nutricosmetics is that great cosmetic results can come from within the body. Not only can you smoothe out fine lines and wrinkles, and tighten and tone the skin, but adding collagen to your diet can help to increase body and shine in hair, and also strengthen nails.

During the human life cycle, collagen production peaks in our early 20s and then slowly declines with each passing year. This is apparent in the appearance of hair, skin, and nails. As well, declining levels of collagen in tissues can affect the joints, causing increased stiffness and pain.

Because collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, it is easy to see and feel the effects of declining tissue levels of collagen. Even a lack of collagen in arteries accounts for decreased elasticity there, which puts one at risk for negative cardiovascular effects.

The way to reverse all of this and regain the benefits of increased collagen levels is to supplement with collagen peptides. These peptides can be found in capsule, liquid, bone broth, and powder form. Consider taking your collagen supplement before bed on an empty stomach, and this way your body can benefit from its natural healing and rejuvenation effect which takes place when at rest and sleeping.

In addition to taking the ready-made collagen peptides (from a grass-fed bovine or a marine source), one can add in vitamin C and silica to further stimulate collagen production in the body.

Other Nutrients Other beauty nutrients available separately or in a formula include: B-complex, MSM, L-Cysteine, Zinc, Selenomethionine, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and hyaluronic Acid.

B-complex: The B-complex is recommended because

the B vitamins all work together synergistically. Plus, most men and women today are dealing with the high levels of stress and pressure caused by a fast-paced lifestyle. This can lead to B-complex deficiency and cortisol imbalances that

affect appearance and mood. Look for a supplement containing coenzyme forms of the B-complex vitamins and include B-complex rich foods like bee pollen, royal jelly, raw unpasteurized honey, and red beets.

Zinc: This mineral is important because if you have any form of acne, it can be the result of a copper-zinc imbalance due to an unidentified copper excess.

MSM: This nutrient is both a sulfur containing compound

and also a methyl-donor.

Methyl-groups are vital for running the methylation pathway in the liver, and the liver is your largest organ of detoxification. Keeping it clean is vital for maintaining clean blood. When the liver is congested, the blood can be loaded with poisons that are unable to leave the body if the elimination channels (bowels and kidneys) are blocked. When that happens, impurities will seek to escape through the skin. To avoid this, we want to have ample methyl-donors to run this detoxification pathway, and we can obtain them in foods like beets, and in supplements like MSM and others. Also, the sulfur (the ‘S’) in MSM is necessary to run the liver’s sulfation pathway and so it is vital for detoxification. You can also eat sul-

At the end of the day, looking good, feeling sexy, and being beautiful is a state of mind. Beauty nutrients are just the icing on the cake that can get you there faster.

The Link Between Cancer and High Blood Sugar Nutritional Medicine Can Help Prevent and Even Treat These Conditions Effectively

BY DR. ZOLTAN P. RONA, MD, MSc.

I

n past issues of Vitality, I have provided comprehensive information about the best natural treatments for diabetes.[1] What I did not touch on, but what has slowly become evident in the past few years, is that diabetes (or even simply high blood sugar) is associFoods that control blood ated with increased risks for sugar include avocados, several cancers including colon, breast, pancreatic, arugula, fatty fish, garlic liver, uterine, and bladder and onions, leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard), cancers, as well as Nonbroccoli sprouts, lentils, Hodgkins lymphoma. flax and chia seeds, Recently released studies almonds and pistachios have verified these facts.

Although conventional medicine is attempting to prevent cancer in diabetics by utilizing certain drugs and insulin to suppress blood sugar levels, there are alternative evidence-based measures that one can take to prevent both conditions. This article discusses the link between chronically elevated blood sugar and increased risk of cancer, the mechanisms involved, and how to prevent diabetes and subsequent cancer using a natural approach. An optimal diet and recommended nutritional supplements will be discussed.

Diabetes and cancer are two of the top three killers in Canada and the U.S. It is estimated that at least 8% of the American population suffers from diabetes and that one out of every three people born since the year 2,000 are projected to develop diabetes in their lifetime. Meanwhile, one in four deaths is caused by cancer, most commonly prostate, lung, bronchial, and colorectal in men – and lung, breast, and colorectal in women.

Women with diabetes are 27% likelier to develop cancer than healthy women, while men with diabetes are 19% more likely to develop cancer than healthy men.

The link between diabetes and cancer risk has already been firmly established, so the bad news here is that a greater number of people will have to face the challenge of living with both diseases in the future. ............................................................

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

THE MECHANISMS

How can having diabetes cause a greater likelihood of cancer? For one thing, scientists claim that overly high levels of blood sugar may damage a person’s DNA, thereby heightening their cancer risk.

Additionally, people with diabetes tend to have some known risk factors for cancer such as older age, obesity, poor diet, and physical inactivity. High levels of insulin seen in Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes, combined with high blood sugar levels and inflammation, all increase cancer risk. Of interest is the fact that the most commonly used diabetes drug, Metformin, was proven to lower cancer risk by as much as 54% in one study. On the other hand, some studies indicate that the use of long-acting insulin may increase cancer risk.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are growing epidemics associated with an increased risk for many types of cancer.

(See my article on reversing metabolic syndrome listed in Resource section[2]).

Obesity: Over 80% of Type 2 diabetic patients are obese, and both conditions are characterized by high insulin levels and higher cancer incidence. Insulin resistance and fatty liver disease commonly seen in both obesity and diabetes are associated with an increased incidence of liver cancer.

Medications: A class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

33

statins have been found to increase the risk of diabetes in susceptible individuals by as much as 30%. Yet an evergrowing number of middle-aged individuals are being prescribed this class of drugs to lower cholesterol or to prevent heart attacks.

Environmental Toxins: A new peer-reviewed scientific review paper has concluded that glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup are contributing to diabetes and cancer as well as a growing list of other diseases. Courts are starting to see lawsuits in which plaintiffs are awarded with multimillion dollar settlements – linking this pesticide to a greater cancer incidence.

Environmental toxins play a role in causing both diabetes and cancer. Toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, along with alcohol and smoking can all be involved in causation of both conditions.

DIET CONSIDERATIONS

The single most important factor that needs to change in order to prevent diabetes is to reduce sugar in the diet.

Many people have been able to accomplish this by following either a Paleo or Ketogenic diet.

KETO DIET:

In the 1970s, the late Dr. Robert Atkins was able to show that the “no carbohydrate” (ketogenic) diet could reverse diabetes and obesity. Over the past decade, various versions of this diet have been advocated by many scientists and nutritionists with generally good results.

The ketogenic diet is strict, and evidence suggests it can fight both diabetes and cancer. This diet is therefore appropriate as part of the treatment for both diabetes and cancer.

The ketogenic diet forbids processed foods, diet soda, vegetable oil, high carbohydrate vegetables (potatoes, corn), sugary fruits, grains, and sugary foods.

The keto diet requires a reduction of carbs down to about 5% of a person’s daily intake. From there, 75% of remaining calories will come from fat, and 20% from protein.

– The ketogenic diet can include: leafy green vegetables; cauliflower; broccoli; fish and seafood (limit due to mercury); meat (organic grass-fed meat is best); organ meat; eggs; nuts; seeds; berries; avocados; olives; coconut oil, and ghee.

– Fats endorsed by the ketogenic diet (from organic sources) include: avocados; olives; coconuts and coconut oil; butter; other nut oils (almond, walnut); raw dairy (unpasteurized) unless there’s a known allergy; raw nuts and seeds; eggs; grass-fed meats; 34

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

fish oil but not fish.

– Fats not allowed on the ketogenic diet include: • Palm kernel oil (palmitoleic acid interferes with fatty acid metabolism); • Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats; Margarine (high in hydrogenated fats); • Cottonseed oil (usually hydrogenated with pesticide residues); • Soybean oil (usually GMO, pro-inflammatory); • Fried foods, including donuts.

PALEO DIET:

The Paleo diet is not as strict as the ketogenic diet and people find it generally easier to follow. It is most applicable for diabetes and cancer prevention. It eliminates grains, legumes, processed sugar, and most dairy products.

– The main foods permitted on the Paleo diet include: meat and fish; eggs; nuts and seeds; fruits; vegetables (except corn, which is a grain); selected fats and oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, tallow, ghee/butter; minimally processed sweeteners including raw honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, raw stevia – Foods that control blood sugar include avocados; arugula; fatty fish and seafood (sardines, mackerel, salmon – but there are concerns about high mercury content); garlic and onions; sour cherries; unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar; leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard); broccoli sprouts; lentils; flax and chia seeds; chocolate containing 80% or higher cocoa; blueberries, blackberries; almonds, pistawww.vitalitymagazine.com

chios, walnuts, pine nuts; eggs; coffee.

– Eat Organic: A recent study examined the diets of 68,946 French adults over four to five years. It was found that those who ate the most organic food were 25% less likely to develop cancer.

Specifically, they were 73% less likely to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and 21% less likely to develop post-menopausal breast cancer.

REDUCING SUGAR CRAVINGS

Curcumin is an extract of turmeric that has a blood sugar-lowering effect in addition to powerful anti-cancer constituents

One big issue that most people have when starting either a paleo or ketogenic diet is sugar cravings. Luckily, there are natural health products (NHPs) that can be supplemented to reduce cravings for sugar. Of course, more exercise and avoidance of artificial sugar substitutes are important tools for reducing sugar cravings too.

A note about fructose: The American College of

Cardiology recently reported that those who drank one or two fructose-sweetened drinks daily had up to a 26% increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a 35% greater risk of heart attack or fatal heart disease, and a 16% increased risk of stroke.

The most common sources of fructose are high fructose corn syrup used in soda pop, candy, sweetened yogurt, juice products, breakfast cereals, and energy drinks.

High fructose intake is linked to: obesity; metabolic syndrome; insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes; fatty liver; hypertension; hyperlipidemia (high LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides); arthritis and gout; cancer.

• NUTRIENTS THAT HELP CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR:

– Omega-3 fatty acids – Alpha lipoic acid – Black seed oil (nigella sativa) – Berberine (some studies show this plant extract to be as effective as Metformin)

“The most exciting emerging development [in the realm of health care] is the growing awareness that we, the human race, are entering a new consciousness, one that we can scarcely imagine. In Western terms, we might say it’s an opportunity to create a new planetary reality without the limitations of our prior belief systems… Each of us who persists and integrates the pieces within ourselves strengthens the “morphic field” – the collective understanding that will anchor a genuinely new and radical form of healing on the planet.” ~ “Radical Healing” by Rudolph Ballentine, MD

Over the past 63 years, Hippocrates Health Institute has been a pioneer in Lifestyle Medicine. And Hippocrates’ co-director, Anna Maria Clement, has become an expert in health solutions that give women the ability to live longer, healthier lives free of disease and sadness.

LECTURE HALL 206-B 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM RESTORE YOUR HEALTH AT A DEEP CELLULAR LEVEL with Hengameh Joulaie, MLA, BFA, RHN, RBIE

We can expect 10 - 100 times more exposure to microwaves within the next few years. This is due to expanding applications for wireless devices (including for the smart meters) along with the roll-out of the 5G’s Internet of Things inter-operability. Fortunately, progress in new advanced materials, and in science and technology, are allowing the development of tools to support life to cope with EMF pollution. This is good news for the environmentally sensitive - 30% of Canadians. Come and find out more about the threats to your health caused by EMFs, and what tools are available to aid protection.

Your cells work together like an orchestra – harmonious frequencies play together to make you a healthy, functioning being. However, the balance within your orchestra can be distorted when you absorb inharmonious frequencies from stress and electromagnetic fields. Consequently, you will not be able to absorb nutrients or detoxify efficiently. Fortunately, Bioenergy Intolerance Elimination (BIE) can reintroduce the correct frequencies to your cells, alleviating the symptoms caused by disruptions in the past. Come and find out how BIE can benefit you.

Available afterward and throughout the weekend at PLANETARY ASSN FOR CLEAN ENERGY booth 9 for questions.

In the quest to explore miracles, Anya’s book Tesla Metamorphosis – Heal and Evolve, reveals new knowledge found in pioneering scientific research, and in ancient wisdom.

Not only are vitamins D3 and K2 synergistic, but K2 can help reduce the risk of dying from any cause by as much as 36%. K2 consumption helps reduce the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and cancer. Vitamin K2 is anti-inflammatory in combination with vitamin D. It down-regulates the inflammatory cytokines.

ANTIOXIDANTS THAT WORK AGAINST CANCER

These include any large class of substances that neutralize free radicals before they cause damage. They are molecules that quench free radicals, protect genes and prevent aging.

Antioxidants are found in various vitamins and plant compounds, specifically in colourful fruits and vegetables, and can be supplemented. Top antioxidants include lycopene, beta carotene, flavonoids, vitamins C, A, E, selenium, and glutathione.

– A note about Glutathione:

It is made up of the amino acids L-Glutamine + LCysteine + L-Glycine. It is the most important antioxidant (master antioxidant) molecule found in the body. According to experts, it has the strongest anti-aging effect potential of any single natural health product (NHP).

– A note about HDIVC (high dose intravenous vitamin C): HDIVC up to 100,000 mg has been used as part of an

NIH study at the University of Kansas Medical Centre for Stage IV ovarian cancer, with very positive results to date.

HDIVC acts as a pro-oxidant to kill cancer cells but will not harm normal cells. It increases the production of hydrogen peroxide in white blood cells to destroy cancer cells. It also increases natural killer cells that destroy cancer. HDIVC has been shown to extend the life of terminal cancer patients. It increases appetite, raises platelet counts, increases energy levels, and reduces pain. When cancerous cells are exposed to antioxidants they increase the rate at which they are destroyed and become less able to switch on the gene that tells them to grow.

– A note about Curcumin: Curcumin is an extract of turmeric that has a blood sugar-lowering effect as well as powerful anti-cancer effects. Unlike many chemotherapeutic drugs, curcumin can attack cancer stem cells. It is antiinflammatory, LDL cholesterol-lowering, and liver protecwww.vitalitymagazine.com

tive. Curcumin improves Type 2 diabetes by reducing liver glucose production and liver glycogen production, and suppressing hyperglycemia-induced inflammation. It also improves pancreatic cell function and reduces insulin resistance.

Conclusion When embarking on a natural program of diet change and supplements it’s best to work with either a naturopath or an integrative medical doctor for a personalized program.

The single most important factor that needs to change in order to prevent diabetes is to reduce sugar in the diet

Giving children vitamin D supplements may reduce their risk of developing Type 1 diabetes later in life by 30%, according to a study conducted in the UK. Confirming previous research, the study pooled data from five separate studies and was reported in the March 2008 issue of the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

Studies previously found that Type 1 diabetes is more common in northern countries where exposure to sunlight (which enables the body to manufacture vitamin D) is lower. For instance, a child in Finland is purportedly 400 times more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes than a child in Venezuela. Other research has linked low levels of vitamin D and sunlight to multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that everyone supplement with vitamin D during winter months.

QUERCETIN HELPS PROTECT AGAINST INFLUENZA

Quercetin, the compound found in onions and apples, may boost the immune system and protect against ’flu, according to results of a study with mice.

Researchers at the University of South Carolina and Clemson University also www.vitalitymagazine.com

Giving children vitamin D may reduce their risk of developing Type 1 diabetes later in life by 30%, according to research

reported that stressful levels of exercise increased the mice’s susceptibility to ’flu and other upper respiratory infections. But quercetin was found to negate these effects.

Rats that were subjected to extreme exercise and not supplied with quercetin proved to be 91% more at risk of getting the common ’flu compared to those who did receive the flavonoid.

If the results can be reproduced in humans, we might see the flavonoid added to sports nutrition supplements for helping endurance athletes, soldiers, and others undergoing difficult training regimens, as well as those under psychological stress, said lead researcher Mark Davis in an interview.

The study is significant because it confirms results from the year prior which reported that quercetin could help reduce illnesses in people who have carried out extensive exercise.

ACTIVE KIDS FALL ASLEEP FASTER

If you’ve always noticed that children who run themselves ragged during the day sleep better, research now backs you up. For every hour a child spends each day sitting around, it takes three minutes longer to get to sleep, suggests a study from New Zealand, reported in the September 2009 issue of the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Furthermore, the more activity a child gets, the faster he or she will fall to sleep. This research points to the fact that physical activity is important not only for fitness, heart health, and weight control, but also for good sleep.

older who had no memory problems, half of the study subjects consumed ginkgo biloba extract three times a day, and half took a placebo.

Over the course of the study, 14 of those who took the placebo developed memory problems, but only seven of those who took the ginkgo extract did. When the researchers took into account whether people followed directions in taking the study pills, they found that people who reliably took ginkgo had a 68% reduced risk of developing memory problems.

This study may sound familiar to many readers.

That’s because, in the past, numerous studies had linked ginkgo with benefits for those with degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia. In fact, one Italian study, published in the European Journal of Neurology in 2006, concluded that ginkgo biloba is as effective as the prescription drug Aricept (donepezil) in treating mild or moderate cases of Alzheimer’s.

Caveat: The recent Neurology study also showed a higher incidence of hemorrhagic (or “bleeding”) strokes and ministrokes in ginkgo users.

Seven people (14%) taking ginkgo had strokes, while none of those taking placebo did. This concurs with previous studies that had suggested ginkgo might increase bleeding risk in some people. Never take ginkgo biloba if you are on anticoagulant drugs or have any kind of bleeding disorder. Consult with your health practitioner. www.vitalitymagazine.com

COPPER KILLS SUPER-BUGS

A UK study has found that copper fittings – copper door handles, toilet seats, door push plates, taps and light switches – rapidly kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria, succeeding where other infection control measures failed.

In a 10-week trial at Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham, fixtures and fittings were replaced by copper versions and test swabs were taken twice daily. The copper fixtures harboured 95% fewer bugs and super-bugs than traditional steel surfaces. Copper surfaces were almost germ-free, even after busy days on a medical ward where these items are touched frequently by numerous people How do copper surfaces kill germs? It is believed the metal ions “suffocate” germs, preventing them from breathing. Also, copper ions can stop bacteria from feeding and may destroy their DNA. Lab tests confirm that copper kills the deadly MRSA and C. difficile w and other dangerous germs, including the ‘flu virus and the E. coli food-poisoning bug.

Although it is usually thought to be an expensive metal, the price of copper actually is similar to the cost of stainless steel, according to the researchers. Hospitals, nursing homes and even homes could benefit from the copper’s ability to wipe out dangerous bugs. (Note: Although copper is an essential nutrient, only a trace amount is needed by the body. Higher amounts can be risky and most people get far too much copper already. Do not take copper supplements.)

In Ontario, according to a 2010 study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, asthma inci- According to TCM doctrine, dence increased by over one of the functions of the 70% between 1996 and herb astragalus is to 2005. The study called for “secure the exterior” more effective strategies to – in other words, to build deal with this great public a strong defence system health problem. against viral or allergic Another development in the understanding of allergic invaders asthma has been the realization that in addition to the classic symptoms of wheezing and breathlessness, night time coughing may be the main presenting symptom, especially in children. This is now identified as cough-variant asthma. It may, in fact, occur without any wheezing, causing many children to remain undiagnosed while they suffer with repeated colds that trigger night time coughing, typically between 3 a.m and 5 a.m. These “colds,” in fact, are more likely to be allergic responses, as asthmatic children also tend to have multiple environmental allergies. Whatever the trigger, asthmatic patients have chronic inflammation of their airways, which makes them hyper-responsive to any stimulus, be it viral, allergic, climactic or emotional.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has treated asthma successfully for a long time, and contemporary TCM herbalists have further honed their approach based on modern understandings and discoveries about immunology and allergy. This means that in addition to continuing to treat each patient based on their particular presentation, we often also include herbs that have been validated by biochemical analysis to have a normalizing effect on the allergic response, such as Sophora flavescentis, reishi mushroom, mume plum, and Stellaria dichotoma root.

In fact, a 2005 study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology caused quite a stir when it showed that a combination of Reishi mushroom, Sophora root, and Licorice root can achieve the same control over asthma symptoms as inhaled corticosteroids – the cornerwww.vitalitymagazine.com

stone of conventional treatment.

But in actual TCM clinical practice, we do not aim only for symptom control of the asthma, but rather for its long term elimination. This is very achievable with a twopronged approach: 1) Control symptoms with herbal bronchodilators and anti-inflammatories, and 2) Strengthen the lung and calm the immune response with tonics and anti-allergic, immune modulating herbs. It is this second phase of treatment that makes TCM treatment priceless, because Western medicine simply has not developed drugs that are able to accomplish this, leaving patients forever dependent on inhalers.

INITIAL PHASE This phase needs to address active disease, presenting with regular episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, or coughing.

Within these symptoms, we must also differentiate whether each patient’s asthma is cold, hot, or largely neutral. This will depend on their constitution and lifestyle as well.

For instance, a hot asthma presentation will have thicker, yellower, and stickier mucus than the cold asthma one, which will typically have clear, thin sputum. The hot asthma tongue will be red with a yellow coat, and there is more likely to be thirst. Very good herbs for the hot presentation are Scutellaria baicalensis, Houttuynia cordata, and Gypsum, a cooling mineral supplement.

In cold asthma, the tongue coat is wet, white, and the tongue proper is normal or pale. Warming, pungent, and scattering herbs like Asarum, fresh ginger, and cinnamon will be included to dispel the cold which further constricts the bronchi. This warming approach can also be considered when the cold winter season brings on the worst symptoms.

Lastly, if no particular cold or heat signs predominate, we use a neutral combination of medicinals. Whatever herbs we choose, their function will be to open the bronchial passages and relieve bronchospasm, cough, and wheezing.

Some of the most important herbs that do this are honeyfried Ephedra, Prunus armeniaca seed, Sophora flavescentis root, and Periostracum cicada. These will also stop the coughing, but if this symptom is very pronounced, we may

STRENGTHENING PHASE Immune function and response is controlled by three main organs in TCM: the lung, spleen and kidney. In the strengthening phase of treatment, we use herbs to strengthen one or more of these organs in order to regulate the immune response. What we want is neither weak nor overly “touchy” immunity, and many TCM herbs have the apparently miraculous ability to calibrate this complex system. Among these ingredients, a few stand out: Astragalus, Reishi mushroom, Jiao Gu Lan, and the sour fruits Schisandra, Mume, Terminalia and Cornus.

Astragalus is now well known in the holistic world, and it appears in many immune boosting formulas. One of its TCM functions is to “secure the exterior” – in other words to build a strong defence system against viral or allergic invaders. When prepared by frying with honey, it has an effect of strongly regulating digestion and absorption.

Modern medicine has now corroborated that healthy gastrointestinal function is integral to correct immunity. In TCM we say that the digestive system nourishes and supports the lung.

Reishi (known as Ling Zhi in TCM terminology) is a well known tonic in Chinese and Japanese medicine.

Mushrooms in general appear to have complex functions against allergy, while helping to protect from cancer, regulate the immune system, and protect from the physiological effects of stress. Reishi’s stated functions in Traditional Chinese Medicine are to calm the mind, boost the Qi, stop cough and transform phlegm. Therefore, it is an ingredient that can concurrently address the active as well as the strengthening phase of asthma and cough treatment, and you will recall that it was one of the three herbs in the asthma study above.

The sour fruits are very interesting. They should be used only when active symptoms have largely abated, because they have an astringent, constricting function www.vitalitymagazine.com

that can aggravate active asthma. But in the strengthening phase, they help to stabilize and repair the lining of the airway, normalize mucous secretions, and enhance the effects of other tonics. It also appears that the chemical constituents responsible for the very sour taste of these fruits have a highly anti-allergic effect and prevent further abnormal reactions, when combined with other appropriate tonics. Mume plum shows great promise against food allergies as well, a condition very much related to allergic asthma.

Finally, Jiao Gu Lan, or Gynostemma pentaphylla, is a herb from the ginseng family, with many of the same active chemicals, but with a cooling, detoxifying nature. This is a very useful characteristic, as inflammation tends to produce heat, as do drug inhalers. This herb can work to strengthen the body while simultaneously clearing heat and subduing chronic inflammation. Jiao Gu Lan has also been studied for many related respiratory conditions such as tracheitis and bronchitis, as well as an anti-cancer medicinal.

These important tonics may well be combined with other herbs to suit the individual patient, for example for concurrent food allergies, seasonal allergies, or mental emotional stress. Elderly patients will also benefit from the addition of kidney tonics such as Cuscuta seed, cooked Rhemannia, and Cornus officinalis.

Working With Asthma Inhalers If, as is often the case, patients are using conventional inhalers to control their asthma, we work alongside these with herbs. It is never advisable to suddenly discontinue medication of any kind. It is common to use an orange “preventer” inhaler daily, which is often a corticosteroid, and a blue “rescue” inhaler, a bronchodilator, as needed.

Upon starting herbal treatment, people will naturally notice less need for the blue inhaler, and once the herbal treatment has achieved further cumulative effects, they can discuss weaning off the orange inhaler with their doctor.

Letters to Editor Citizens Protest Removal of Our Rights to Exemption from Vaccination On September 23, The Toronto Board of Health debated a motion to remove all philosophical and religious vaccine exemptions for children under the Immunization of School Pupil’s Act. This means that if you have made the choice to not vaccinate your child, or to stop vaccinating, or if you fully vaccinate but want the option to pass on any additional vaccines that will be added to the childhood schedule going forward, you will no longer be allowed to exempt your child for reasons of conscience or religion. Your child will not be allowed to receive the public education they are entitled to as citizens of this country unless they are, and continue to be, fully vaccinated.

(This is in direct violation

of the Canadian Charter. This is a human rights issue.)

In response, there was a gathering on September 23 by a group of protestors committed to joining together to fight for the right to decide what is injected into their children’s bodies, and for the right of all children to receive a public education.

The following are two letters that Vitality received from the protestors.

Dear Vitality: 1) To all moms and dads, grandmoms and granddads, aunts and uncles, any anyone who cares at all about the freedoms this amazing coun-

try has been founded on: WE MUST NOT SIT BACK! We must claim our freedom. We must fight the good fight and stop this tyranny. Please do come and join us in this peaceful rally on Monday. It will be an opportunity to set the course of history on a new trajectory.

Lisa Vickery 2) On September 23rd, an estimated 300 Ontarians of all ages converged on City Hall in Toronto, where the Board of Health was discussing a draconian proposal from the city’s Medical Officer of Health to “reduce vaccine hesitancy.” This includes encouraging widespread restriction of information about vaccine risks, removal of Ontarians’ right to philosophical and religious exemptions, and to “provide financial incentives to promote vaccinations for local health care providers.”

(Find proposal posted at: https://tinyurl.com/vaccine agenda) Twenty six Ontarians (from all over the province) spoke passionately in their three allotted minutes to express vehement disagreement with the MOH’s proposals. Citizens in the standing-room-only committee room were apparently not really heard by committee members, who appeared to be mostly distracted by their cell phones. www.vitalitymagazine.com

The motion passed, either way, meaning that the city’s board of health will officially ask the province to ban non-medical exemptions, as well as improve access to digital immunization records and crack down on “advertisements that contain false and misleading statements against vaccines,” among other things. (blogto.com) This major turnout by citizens (many of them members of Vaccine Choice Canada https://vaccine choicecanada.com/) who insist on having the final say over what’s injected into their bodies, and their children’s bodies, is a sure sign that this protest movement against mandatory vaccinations is growing steadily.

I was so sad to read that Dr. Sharon Kopinak has died.

She was the most wonderful, intuitive veterinarian ever.

She saved my little Shih Tsu, Maxie. When Maxie was a puppy, she became listless, chewed at her feet, and the vet we were seeing wanted to put her on a steroid.

I was not about to do that to my puppy, and shortly after found Dr. Kopinak. She sat on the floor with Maxie in her living room, and after talking to her and observing her, she said: “No wonder she’s listless. She doesn’t feel good. It’s her food.” After removing her from all kibble (she was on a very expensive brand) and giving her human www.vitalitymagazine.com

food – meat, rice, and vegetables – within a week Maxie was bouncy and happy.

Dr. Kopinak’s absence will be a great loss.

Kathy Kossow Many times I would get a phone call from Dr. Sharon Kopinak asking whether I had a certain herb or supplement because she was sending someone to pick it up from my store. I would gladly wait, even if it meant staying a bit after closing because I knew she was helping an animal. People came from all over to see her, and because of Dr. Sharon’s care for their beloved pet they didn’t mind the long drive, long appointment, or wait. I felt fortunate to know Dr. Sharon so I could in turn help people when they did not know where to turn. She will be missed!

Reader Seeks Remedy for Yeast Infections Hello, I am a 61-year-old woman. I keep getting yeast infections from Type 2 diabetes. Can you suggest any natural remedies? I don’t need drugs from the drug stores any more.

Sharon G., East York Tesla Medicine is Strong Medicine “The Vital Light of Nikola Tesla”; https://tinyurl.com/Teslamed

After reading the article in your April/May issue on “Tesla Medicine: Part 2”, I thought of making a couple of points. The Earth’s magnetic flux density is in the order of 0.5T (T stands for Tesla and has a value of 104 gauss). This drives electrons to speeds of 10,000 metres/second in the human body, which generate

52

momentum of 9 x 10-26 kg.m and kinetic energy of 5 x 10-21 jouls (don’t mistake this with what the late Elizabeth Taylor wore on her fingers).

Tesla devices boost these natural electromagnetic field values which go on to generate more heat in bones and muscles, accelerating the healing process. It’s okay to use these devices on wrists, arms, knees, legs.

But exercise caution when buying Tesla mattresses and pillows where photons accelerated to speeds of 40,000 metres/second might interfere with the natural functions and rhythms of the heart, kidneys, liver, and even the brain.

It would be interesting to read the reaction of those who use and advertise PEMF Tesla healing devices

During his research in the 1890s, inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla realized that the body is like a rechargeable battery, constantly under the influence of the sun and the Earth’s geomagnetic field. This is why he went for a daily seven-mile walk through New York’s Central Park to naturally recharge his body. (Walking puts pressure on bones, which are crystalline in nature.

Each step creates a piezoelectric pulse as the bones are bent, which is then amplified by the lines of the Earth’s magnetic fields as one moves through.) As a result of his insights, new devices were created that formed the basis of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy.

Tesla had an intimate understanding of the relationship between the pulse of the earth, electricity, and magnetic fields, and he developed ideas for a huge number of inventions we use to this day. While the classic electrical device is the Tesla Coil which produces streamers of lightning in the air, a lesser-known electrical coil was also invented by Tesla. This is the standard Most people connect the name Tesla magnetic loop or flat spiral coil seen in with an award-winning electric car all PEMF systems today. brand or with the invention of AC elecTreatment with PEMF therapy tricity.

was blessed with a beautiful experience a few weeks ago and it has served as a metaphor almost daily.

It is about butterflies and their powerful message of transformation, a message that is vital as we move through these challenging times in our world.

Because I grow and harvest herbs I am always on the watch for pollinators like bees and butterflies.

This year there were lots of monarchs for the first time in over a decade and it was glorious. The early monarchs fly in from Mexico and lay eggs right away on milkweeds in June. These eggs become the caterpillars which eat only milkweed, then form into a chrysalis and birth into butterflies.

There are three generations of monarchs throughout the summer, most living two to six weeks. Then bigger monarchs that live seven months are born in late August and September; these will make the 3,000 kilometre flight south to Mexico, and back again in the spring.

This summer, a friend discovered a monarch chrysalis on an electric fence and decided to move it to a safer place. (A video

The procedure was a success and the beautiful jade and gold jewel was brought to my place to continue its unfolding. As they witnessed the monarch’s metamorphosis, guests from Germany were enthralled by the swift change in colour from solid green, to dark moss, to transparent. One morning, after an hour of warming sunlight, the new butterfly slowly unfolded from its hiding place to reveal its exquisite beauty. Four of us sat quietly as the wings became unglued, and it made its first step from its pod. Nothing else was important except being present to this miracle.

An hour later, the butterfly was able to fly to my surprised and happy hand.

Then there was flight to an apple tree just a few yards away, and the air erupted in cheers. There were even a few tears of joy at having had this time to focus on the beauty of this noble insect filled with bravery and determination for the journey ahead.

The monarch stayed in my yard for three days, enjoying the anise hyssop and golden rod, flying across my path when I came out to see how it was doing.

My butterfly headed off in the middle of the following week, joining thousands of monarchs as they began their flights south. My

friend mentioned lying on his back for an hour and seeing 40 monarchs pass directly overhead. So many of us were witness to their beauty.

The next week, hurricane Dorian came up the coast and I confess to feeling heart-sick imagining the perils for all the butterflies and migrating birds that would suffer terribly in those winds. A friend in Nova Scotia was outside as the hurricane wall passed their place, and the air was filled with birds. She felt a pecking, and found a swallow inside her sweater. It was such an exhausting experience for them all.

This experience has stayed with me as a lesson that of each of us is a beautiful chrysalis, and as we evolve into more light-filled beings, it can feel like we are flying in a dark storm not of our own making. I have seen this playing out in the news feeds. For example, reports have been surfacing about influential women at the top of their field in environmental and climate awareness, being physically and verbally threatened by high profile politicians and climate change deniers. Even the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, is needing security. And Swedish teen Greta Thunberg was threatened with death by a big European industrialist who thought it was funny. Yikes.

I see Greta metaphorically as a young beautiful butterfly who is flying into a storm that is lashing out at her rather than cheering her on.

While any termed politician, be they wonderful or a www.vitalitymagazine.com

despot, is allowed to make decisions about the earth (like selling the groundwater worldwide to Nestle/ Monsanto, or setting the trees on fire in the Amazon to make hamburger ranches, or heating up the Arctic with oil refineries that change the jet stream), we are going to be wading about in some dark times.

The good news is that we are becoming more focused on the climate. More good news is that we are each full of light and it’s our ‘simple’ job to turn it up and let it shine. Light changes the landscape, it illuminates choices, like seeing the prosperity and jobs that come from a green economy. This storm will pass. For me, it is important to be consciously turning up wherever I am with as much light as I can muster.

October& November Sun Sign Predictions

★★★ by Julie Simmons ★★★ LIBRA: Sept. 22 - Oct. 22

Break through the density surrounding you after October 4th when you take action on behalf of the well-being of others. Be an advocate of some strength and don’t be shy about getting paid or acknowledged later in the month for your efforts. From the 12th – 15th be especially forthright even as you ease the blunt force of your intention. Back away from the lives of others from October 23rd until the end of the month. It’s time now to figure out what you want for yourself, and it may take at least a few weeks. NOVEMBER: Even in a world of so much suffering, it’s okay to have a bit of fun.

Watch out for stones in the road, however, on the 5th.

Awareness of how to strengthen house or family foundations comes between the 8th – 13th. Pay good attention to what is worth the investment. How the world does business is in flux. We are learning to balance what we want with sustainability. Laughter is in good supply on November 22nd – 25th as you move into holiday season. Leave some room for unexpected expenses. The busy season arrives from the 27th. Find the devotion (love) which underlies duty, and ‘busy’ will make you happy.

SCORPIO: Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

Subconscious whispers which feed your sense of unworthiness are shouting at you in October.

But they are liars, fabrications from childhood.

Even so, you might use these words like patchwork and see if you can make a quilt – a story or a poem, something to set you free and help you discover the blueprint for the life you want and most likely are already living. Those thought/feelings are compost living in the soil of your unconscious. Use them to grow yourself. Show your world who you are in the way you meet it from October 27th – 31st. In matters of relationship, obstacles are challenges to listen with your entire being until you hear the words moving on the river of your soul. NOVEMBER: You were born with the ability to feel what others don’t or won’t let themselves even know they feel. This can seem like a curse which turns Scorpio cold, or a blessing which becomes a person with profound perception who sees what others don’t. Resist the urge to react from November 1st – 6th.

Remembrance Day has deep roots this year for the fallen.

The blessing is remembrance free of regret. You are full of strength and resolve from the 19th. Be trustworthy in a world of so many lies and manipulations. People can feel it.

Love rewards your true heart between the 26th and 30th.

56

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

www.vitalitymagazine.com

SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22 - Dec. 20

Jump into action with friends or people who share your politics, even if you don’t always understand what they are saying. Confrontations may arise and help you sort things out, showing if you should stay or go. Express yourself through the creative outlets of your choice from October 10th – 20th. Sagittarius is a dancer. Let there be celebration and then time to withdraw and contemplate the past from the 25th – 31st. We are not meant to be haunted by the past. We are here to learn.

NOVEMBER: You have been an inspiration bunny over the last year, possibly run ragged by aspiration. Let your enthusiasm spill up and over; things get more grounded next month. Stand up to the bullies who don’t resonate with your message from November 3rd – 9th. Confusions about things you could not quite fathom sort themselves after the 20th: Secrets and dream messages are revealed. Pull in to prepare for whatever will be born after the 20th. Shift is happening. it will require resources. You will have them.

CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 - Jan. 19

Why not just admit that you were born to manage, and then create the life that lets you do that? Everyone, including you, expects you to be in charge in October but not without the challenges of leadership in a world that has understandably come to mis-

www.vitalitymagazine.com

trust people with power. Rise to the occasion of building trust as well as taking charge. Strategize from the 24th – 27th. Implement your strategies with caution from the 28th and beyond. Things are changing fast and furiously. Respect those who depend upon your skills. NOVEMBER: The beliefs we hold most dear are grounded as much in emotion and connection with each other as in empirical fact.

Knowing this, we could all lighten up a bit. Be the boss of your own life from the 1st – 8th by managing your actions to stay aimed at your goals. Hang with the friends who have your back between the 9th – 20th. Plans for the future need a last once-over between the 21st – 26th. Then they’re good to go. Creative risk taking is on your side from 27th – 30th.

AQUARIUS: Jan. 20 - Feb. 17

Dreams come true but never the way you dream them. Whether day or night, dreams are fingers pointing to the moon, telling us what we feel about what is happening. Put some energy into deciphering the code of yours from October 4th – 14th. If you need the help of a wise person, don’t hesitate, be it a friend, therapist, or even an astrologer. We see better for one another than we do for ourselves. Feel the shift into the dark of the year from the 27th – 31st. Honour the descent by acknowledging the complex mystery of the inner world. NOVEMBER: There is not much balance in the realms of power in the world.

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

57

This upsets you personally between the 3rd – 8th. It’s your world too. Listen to the subtle side of things from the 9th – 13th. You may be just the person to make a difference.

Ambition rises from the 20th. What mountain would you like to climb? Dance all night on the 24th. Be amazed when morning comes at how the world has changed in ways you weren’t expecting. In every end is a beginning. Such is the wisdom of transformation. Honour this in your own life between the 26th and the 30th.

PISCES: Feb. 18 - March 19

You are not drowning in a world gone mad with anxiety and fear. You inner life enables you to swim if you let it. Feel yourself even as you hold to those who steady you because they trust you. Express yourself and try not to give a toot about what others might think. Consider it poetic license. What is beautiful is valuable. From October 15th – 25th you know exactly where the value is and what you want. It’s within reach when you trade in authentic expressions of the soul. Commit yourself to learning something meaningful from the 27th and beyond. NOVEMBER: Beautiful dreamer, this world is just exactly what it is, including endless changes over which we have so little control. You are not in the mood for such lofty wisdoms between the 1st – 8th, but even so from the 9th – 13th there is a luminous glow of wisdom emanating from you. Share it with your world and your confusion will give way to understanding between the 14th – 20th. After that it is time to get on with your ambitions. Be bold on the 24th but wait for results until after the 26th. A friend tells you something helpful between the 28th and 30th. Listen up.

ARIES: March 20 - April 19

Who is the boss is a good question. Time to investigate what makes a good boss. Top down management is going the way of the dodo but humans don’t change gracefully when threatened. Find a different card to play. It will allow you to look your best from the 12th – 14th when you’re in the spotlight. Actualize this moment like a true Aries. The need to be more reflective is not your favourite thing. Even so, it comes to us all from the 23rd through the end of the month and beyond. It’s a time to sharpen your tools, such as your intuition.

NOVEMBER: Be humble in the face of who and what has made you the person you are at this moment. It’s a little too easy to defend your identity between the 1st and 6th. Better to acknowledge those who would have you be someone you are not and walk away. Listen for hints of manipulation between the 9th – 14th especially concerning investments.

Greed creates insecurity and leads to wrong choices. Take time to decide. Relax and have some fun between the 22nd and 26th. Don’t spend more than it’s worth. New horizons are calling from the 27th. Go where you want to go. Do what you want to do.

58

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

TAURUS: April 20 - May 20

Many Taurus people are philosophers because they want to know how life really works. Devote yourself to situations that help you understand why we suffer and how we can help, why change is so hard and what it means to love. Your focus shifts to relationships from the 15th. The motives of others can seem obscure and confusing. What matters most is how you react. Hold on to your power from the 28th for the next few weeks by being a good listener. NOVEMBER: Darkening days and longer nights are not Taurus pleasures. You may struggle with this on the 5th, feeling separate from nature, but by the 8th – 13th you regain your connection to the natural world.

Nature in all its manifestations is the beloved.

Relationships become clearer from the 20th – 25th. Step up to conversations and interactions that need to happen to achieve this. Trust and love combine, creating comfy, cozy feelings on the 27th – 30th.

GEMINI: May 21 - June 20

In October, use words creatively. Tell your stories, knowing fiction is truer than fact but lying is something else. Words connect us, but they separate us too because we cannot hear what others think.

Play hard from October 10th – 14th. In a world of too much information, do your best to express yourself fully from the 15th – 23rd, then retreat. Time to clean up and work on your health, deep into next month. NOVEMBER: Work hard to create something really great from the 1st – 8th. Think seriously about who it is that helps you live a healthy, wholesome life. Stay close to them between the 9th and 20th. You will help each other a lot from 21st to 26th. Think positively about relationships from the 26th. If you’re looking for a partner, cultivate the traits you want from the other person in yourself. If you already have a partner, how could you be a good listener? Sometimes it’s just about sharing something intimate from your own life: A poem, a dream, a longing.

CANCER: June 21 - July 21

Relationships need more than duty to bind them.

Commitment requires that each person take responsibility for maintaining the bond. Respect for your person is one thing, codependence another. This is the issue from October 4th, when it becomes clear that family stuff from the past and/or present is a significant part of the drama. Hold your boundaries with flexibility and confidence from the 10th – 14th. After that there is a gradual but steady shift toward intimate feelings. If they aren’t aimed at your primary other, pay attention. Denial makes things harder. Recognition offers choice. NOVEMBER: What lives in the ‘down below’ of your life? We could be talking basements or maybe the past. Be mindful of your reactions from October 3rd – 6th. Spend time with friends between the 8th – 13th. Let them water your soul.

LEO: July 22 - Aug. 22

Yours is the sign of nobility; you have it in you to walk through this world with the kind of confidence that arises from an open, generous heart. October requires continued effort as you work hard at what matters and learn more about communication through words as well as deeds. Possibilities you never considered pop up on the 7th, 12th, and 28th. Even without support from externals you have powerful inner resources. From the 31st give yourself three weeks to clean house, literally or metaphorically. NOVEMBER: We all want to be fit, healthy, and shine like the Sun, especially Leo! Avoid panaceas between October 2nd and 4th. When it comes to health, one size cannot fit all. Commitment and discipline matter. Evaluate how you are doing from the root to the branch of your being between the 8th and 13th. Where there are weaknesses, work to strengthen them before the 20th.

Your efforts are more important than immediate results.

From the 26th, you surprise us all (even yourself) with your capacity for excellence. Just be yourself.

VIRGO: Aug. 23 - Sept. 21

You can’t always get what you want, but you can do a lot with what you have. Let this be your mantra until October 14th. Do what you can do, and not more, to keep love alive at this time, especially in your own heart. It gets easier between the 15th and 27th.

From there the mandate shifts. Time to learn, to edit, perhaps to straighten out your siblings or neighbours who behave badly. Once that’s taken care of, time to withdraw to your studio for a few weeks and sort through what you’ve done and what still needs doing. NOVEMBER: Call on guardians and guides to support you through the dark time of the year.

Be mindful that energy is real. Invest effort and resources in things of value from the 1st – 7th. Open your heart to love including creativity from the 8th – 14th. There are wise messages to inspire you. Share them after the 20th. Avoid the poison pen. Truth is powerful when spoken without bitterness. Enjoy home, family, pets and plants from the 23rd to 26th.

GREEN PARTY RELEASES “CLIMATE CHANGE: MISSION POSSIBLE” PLAN

According to a 2018 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is possible for the world to avoid catastrophic climate change, but we only have 11 years to do so.

In response, the Green Party has released a 20point plan entitled Mission: Possible. To date, they are the only federal party with a plan to meet the IPCC’s goal of reducing greenhouse gases by 60% from 2005 levels by 2030, and to eliminate emissions by 2050.

Since they released their plan, both Denmark and the UK have committed to the same goals. Given that their per person emissions are already much lower than ours, the commitments of these two countries confirms that our goals are achievable.

Canada needs to declare a Climate Emergency and establish an inner cabinet of all parties, modelled on the war cabinets of Mackenzie King and Winston Churchill. This would ensure that all parties work together and that climate would no longer treated like a political football.

Mission: Possible will achieve all 17 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and exceed those of the U.S. Green New Deal. While maintaining the Green Party’s core values of social

VITALITY MAGAZINE – OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2019

The ‘Book of the Month’ teaches people how to regulate blood sugar with food BOOK OF THE MONTH:

“The Paleo Diabetes Solution” by Jill Hillhouse “I wrote this book to help people understand blood sugar and how what you eat really matters. I mean, really matters.

One of the key themes of this book is that the food we eat is the single most important influence on our health.

Food is so much more than the sum of its parts. It is the information we give our bodies that gets translated into cellular instructions that control our health and our disease patterns.

The information in the first half of this book will help you understand how

The exhibit of paintings by visionary artist Gaia Orion continues in Aurora through November 16

blood sugar works in the body and how the paleo approach to eating, also known as the ancestral way of eating, can help you restore healthy blood sugar function and halt, if not reverse, the health consequences of blood sugar dysfunction and Type 2 diabetes. You will also learn how to navigate eating away from home, how to read and understand food labels, and how to stock your pantry with foods that will restore your health.

The second half of the book ties everything together with delicious paleoinspired recipes that will leave you satisfied and

finally in control of your blood sugar.”

(Catch Jill Hillhouse at Whole Life Expo, where she will give a talk on Saturday, Nov. 9, entitled “How to Put Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Into Remission Naturally,” at 3:00 pm. She will be available after her talk at the Smith’s Pharmacy booth for book signings and questions. Visit: www.whole lifeexpo.ca for more information.)

VISIONARY ARTIST GAIA ORION SOLO EXHIBIT IN AURORA

The exhibit of paintings by Canadian visionary artist, Gaia Orion, entitled: She Flourishes: Creating a Vision for a Peaceful World, continues through Nov. 16 at The Aurora Cultural Centre.

The exhibition, She Flourishes, offers a conversation about women’s qualities and leadership in today’s world and the potential for transformation. Feminine intrinsic qualities of intuition, compassion, inclusivity, interconnectedness that have been marginalized for centuries are now rising to their full expression to shape a new world. The exhibition explores human values that unite us, and addresses our

www.vitalitymagazine.com

relationship to the environment as well as our society’s ecosystem, in which diversity must be celebrated and embraced in a just, healthy, harmonious world.

During the exhibit, 30 of Orion’s visionary pieces will be on display. Orion says “Uniting our vision and natural talents can become a catalyst for individual and collective change so that we can move together toward a healthier humanity.”

A symbiotic presenter of Orion’s work, The Aurora Cultural Centre believes that arts, culture, and heritage can play a role in changing our world and our community. (Location: 22 Church St, Aurora, just north of Toronto, Ontario.)

Orion will conduct a series of talks and workshops at various locations for the duration of the show. Go on her website to check out workshops locations, dates and details or to sign up. www.GaiaOrion.com Email: Art@GaiaOrion.com Vitality Magazine is available in over 450 outlets across Ontario.
