The anticipation is growing spring is just around the corner!
For most of us, cabin fever is in full effect, and we are more than ready to cure this winter boredom by getting outside and interacting with nature. Ah, the joy of whats to come! For now, though, we can make use of our expanding daylight hours and growing supply of energy by decluttering our surroundings. Sure, it sounds like just another chore, but there are actually health benefits to this activity. Experts say disarray can cause stress, while clean can facilitate calm and peace of mind in our lives. Check out some reputable health and wellness websites for more information on the therapeutic effects of decluttering! March is the month we observe National Nutrition Month. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. There is so much to learn in this area; consider researching these topics before things get too busy outside! Youll find some helpful tips and resources on the academys website (www.eatright.org). We have so many great articles to share with you this month. Marcia Simler educates us on gluten intolerance and symptoms we should be aware of. Dr. Wade Anunson explains why we should rethink our use of antibiotics. Laura Schuch shows us how loving ourselves makes us better able to handle our challenges and achieve health and success. And, theres much more, so please read on!
Enjoy the anticipation of spring, and take some time to prepare for your healthy future! In health and happiness,

The endorphins of irish music ......................................................................

by cecilia Farran
ever known to stuff their feelings, the Irish let them flow in music, song, story and verse from what poet W.B. Yeats called the deep hearts core. The world over, Irish or not, there are few indeed who are not uplifted or touched in some way by hearing a spirited jig or reel, or by being drawn into a soulful ballad. Simply put: Irish music makes one feel good. It is a time-honored source of endorphins.
So just what is irish music?
Irish music comes in two basic kinds: instrumental (called tunes) and vocal (called songs). Tunes traditionally accompany dance and depending on time signature are called jigs in 6/8 time (if you can say flanagan flanagan to the rhythm it is a jig), reels in 4/4, hornpipes in 2/4 and slip jigs in 9/8. Non-dance tunes are called slow airs and take on a wide sweep of feelings, from melancholy to soaring. Tunes are traditionally played on the harp, uilleann pipes (a form of bagpipe played with an elbow bellow), fiddle, flute or tin whistle, once called the penny whistle because of its price. (Note that the fiddle is actually a violin played in a folk setting.) The traditional Irish drum, the bodhran (pronounced BOUGH-ron),

keeps the beat of musical triplets and is played with one hand using a double-ended stick called a beater. The other hand is pressed against the backside of the skin in different spots to change tone. Vocal songs are either sean-nos (unaccompanied, with the singer using the voice to create intricate grace notes and

embellishments, often in Gaelic) or ballad style, which tell a story, paint an emotion, extoll a remembrance or rivet a moment in history. They are sung to accompaniment of traditional instruments or guitar. With emigration as early as the 1600s the Irish brought their music into the mountains of America, forming the roots for the now traditional American sound of bluegrass, clogging and square dance. By definition, that is what Irish music is, but such a definition does not capture what it does to ones heart and soul, for the intricate notes and embellishments, lyrical melodies and poignant lyrics are music to not only the ear, but also the heart. Irish writer Mairtin Byrnes has said, Music to the Irish is a living delight, a mysterious key to a host of undiscovered emotions lying hoarded in the secrets of the soul. Such music is played and sung from the deep hearts core. It becomes a force so strong and deep that it draws in, nay, welcomes in, the spirit of every listener whether of Irish heritage or not. So this St. Patricks Day, when venues from nursing homes and schools to concert halls and pubs feature some form of Irish music, check out the paper and avail yourself of this pleasant way to alter your mood. I personally recommend the Old Feed Mill in Mazomanie, where I will be on March 16 and 17, as Celia, touring songstress in the Irish tradition, returns home to her native Wisconsin for two Celtic cabaret shows of comedy and song. Beguiling with her warm smile and red-haired beauty, Celias expressive voice evokes the emotions of the heart and embodies the soaring sound of Celtic women. Her genuine warmth is reminiscent of groups like the Clancy Brothers as she accompanies herself with bodhran, guitar and sound looping technology. Mix all that in with a sprinkling of comic Irish characters and one has a recipe for a great Irish St. Pats Eve on March 16 or an afternoon on the High Holy Day of St. Patricks Day itself, March 17. As a delicious extra, the March 16 show (6 p.m.) begins with a corned beef dinner made to perfection using the recipe of owner Nancy Vistes Irish grandmother; cabaret follows at 7 p.m. The March 17 show begins with a corned beef brunch at 11:30 a.m.; show follows at 1 p.m. Might I offer you a personal invitation to join us there as you come away to a world of enchantment so far from this one. In the words of W.B.Yeats: Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand. (Leave) the worlds (thats) more full of weeping than you can understand. I will be there raising my endorphins and perhaps, O human child, if you too would like to be beguiled into an evening of Irish magic, so will you.
Cecilia Farran is owner of 43/90 North Earth Gifts in Spring Green, 608.588.3313, where tickets can be obtained. Tickets/info also available: www.Oldfeedmill.com or 608.795.4909. Choose either St. Pats Eve Cabaret: Saturday, March 16, with a corned beef dinner beginning at 6 p.m. (doors open at 5 p.m.) or St. Patricks Day, Sunday, March 17, the Celtic Cabaret will follow a corned beef brunch beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Learn which vitamins are bad for your pet! ...............................................................
by Dr. Jodie
asically, there are two types of vitamins: the whole food type, which are found in the fresh foods we eat, and the synthetic type, which are manufactured in a laboratory and found in the processed foods we eat. When you purchase synthetic vitamins, you are relying on luck as to whether or not they are the right ones, in the correct combination, that may or not be useful or even harmful to your pets body. When you provide fresh food or whole food source vitamins, you are relying on nature and the
bodys innate knowledge to select from the presented array, the needed vitamins and combination to be properly assimilated and effectively utilized by the body. In basic biology we learned that vitamins need their cofactors and appropriate food combinations to be utilized by the body. Yet, even natural health sources tout d-alpha tocopherol as natural vitamin E. In reality, it is not utilized without selenium. Your best whole food source of vitamin E is wheat germ oil. Doctors often say, take your vitamin C to prevent the common cold. Unfortunately, ascorbic acid is NOT vitamin C. It is only one chemical constituent within this complex nutrient. A great whole food source is rose hips. Have you ever wondered why one study says a particular vitamin is good for you and another study says it is not? Sometimes it is because a study is based upon utilization of a food that contains large amounts of the particular vitamin vs. another study where only a chemical constituent of the vitamin is used. Ever hear the old adage, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts? Indeed, nature has even put into its plants constituents, which protect against or balance the negative effects of another constituent, within the same plant! This protection is not present if one consumes a partial vitamin or synthetic version. There are many nutrients in a carrot that work synergistically. There are many
components that affect the functionality of a carrots vitamin A, not just beta-carotene. Why is the ingestion of synthetics so bad? And why does an individual often see results when consuming synthetic vitamins? Cells have vitamin receptor sites. A body with a vitamin deficiency will have cells with empty receptor sites. Initially, the synthetic vitamins will adhere to the receptor sites and stimulate a beneficial response. The excessive and repeated presence of the synthetic vitamin will cause the tired receptor sites to down regulate, making them no longer responsive to the synthetic or the presence of the natural vitamin when it arrives. So, after some time, an individuals symptoms of vitamin deficiency recur. This is why health practitioners often say excessive amounts of a vitamin can become toxic. Cells do not do a good job of recognizing and releasing synthetic vitamins. Signs of deficiency and those of excess are often quite similar. This is why synthetic vitamin supplementation can be very confusing and dangerous.
reAd lAbelS!
Read the ingredient label on your pets bag of dry kibble (the synthetic vitamins are bolded): brewers rice, corn gluten meal, chicken by-product meal, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), dried egg product, vegetable oil,

chicken liver digest, fish meal, DL-methionine, L-lysine, taurine, L-tryptophan, preserved with mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary extract, beta carotene, minerals (potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, salt, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), vitamins (choline chloride, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, ascorbic acid (a source of vitamin C), niacin, thiamine, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement). Now read the ingredients on a bag of fresh, raw food: rabbit, pork fat, ground rabbit bone, pork liver, pork heart, apples, carrots, butternut squash, ground flax seeds, montmorillonite clay, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, dried kelp, apple cider vinegar, parsley, honey, salmon oil, olive oil, blueberries, alfalfa sprouts, persimmons, inulin, rosemary, sage, clove.

synthetic vitamins. It is imperative to only supplement with whole food vitamins. Dont be misled to believe that these processed foods contain adequate amounts of vitamins. Synthetic vitamins are poorly absorbed. It is safe and a good idea to add blended fresh veggies to your pets food. Organic is always best. (Avoid grapes, raisins and
onions.) Your pet may benefit from specific combinations of whole food supplementation depending on if he has a particular imbalance. For example, eating liver, milk thistle and beets are excellent if your pet has liver disease. Standard Process is an international company based in Palmyra, Wisconsin, that makes human and pet whole food supplements. They have made supplementation easy for humans. Chiropractors and acupuncturists have been recommending these products for people for years. Veterinarians have this same option available to them for pets. The Standard Process Canine Renal Support contains ingredients such as bovine kidney, kidney bean extract, pea vine juice, beet root, alfalfa juice and more. Mmm good, easy and real!

Calculating your calorie needs made simple .....................................................................

by Tony bednarowski
hether youre just curious or have a serious need to evaluate your daily calorie needs due to weight concerns, you may want to consider your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This figures the amount of energy (calories) ones body uses when in a resting or non-active state. The BMR calculator is one of the most widely used measurements in determining ones basal metabolic rate or base. This excellent tool is often used by dieticians, personal trainers or individuals in conjunction with the body mass index (BMI) calculator. The BMI calculator is used to figure out where a persons healthy body weight range is. The BMR calculator is then used to help figure out how many calories a person should be consuming to get them to their healthy body weight. So here is where most people (and yes, even some of our trusted professionals) go wrong while using the BMR calculator. While using this standard measuring tool, you must first understand what you are measuring and why. Muscle is calorie active tissue, which means it is the physical place where calories are burned for energy. Fat is simply storage or extra energy. If you can grasp this concept, then you will also understand that when using the BMR calculator to help with weight loss, you must take into account your body fat percentage. Why? So you can accurately calculate the right amount of calories needed based on calorie active tissue (your true fat burning machine) not overall body weight.

3. Search the Internet for a BMR calculator. Punch in the four
calculating components it will ask you for: gender, height, age and weight (be sure to use your lean body mass NOT your existing overall body weight).
There you have it. This will give you the amount of calories needed to maintain your current body weight in a non-active state. Any more calories than that results in weight gain, any fewer calories than that results in weight loss. Its just that simple.

Somatotypes exercise according to your body type ......................................................................

by Leia mccumber
ou may have heard the phrase, If you just work hard enough, you can have the body of your dreams! Unfortunately, this is not always true. Our body type is what determines how we respond to exercise and nutrition, no matter how hard we may work at it. This is what accounts for a lot of disappointed and frustrated dieters. Have you ever stuck to a healthy diet and exercise regimen for months on end, only to be frustrated with the lack of results? Your somatotype may have been the culprit. Just because a certain celebrity does a certain workout and looks a certain way, doesnt mean you can do the same thing to get the same results. Your bodies wont look at all similar, unless you have the same body type. Even then, its hard, as there are many variations and combinations of the three main body types. We will talk about the main three here: 1. eCTOMOrPh: Slender, narrow shoulders and low body fat. Naturally fine boned, long limbed, narrow-waisted and unlikely to gain muscle easily. Famous ectomorphs include Lisa Kudrow, Kate Moss, Brad Pitt and Seth Green. dieT TiPS: In order to put on some muscle, ectomorphs must eat more calories than any other body type and consume more protein. Otherwise, their fast metabolism causes them to burn off any muscle gains. Ectomorphs benefit from diets high in carbohydrates and proteins, and moderate in fat. Complex carbs provide long-term energy to fuel the ectos naturally fast metabolism. Whole-grain breads, oats, pastas, rice and polenta are excellent choices. exerCiSe TiPS: Avoid lengthy cardio sessions. This can be detrimental to the ectomorphs quest to gain weight/muscle.
Ectomorph training should be heavy lifting to focus on gaining muscle, and should be in short durations. Use full-body movements like squats for total body workouts. 2. MeSOMOrPh: Tend to be muscular. Have large bones and solid joints. They often have well-developed calves and forearms. Naturally well-proportioned, muscular, strong, prone to having a highly efficient metabolism, highly responsive to any type of workout routines and generally good at sports. Famous mesomorphs include Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Venus and Serena Williams, and Jillian Michaels. dieT TiPS: Be sure to eat within an hour of rising each morning. Complex carbs, unsaturated fats and protein foods are important for a balanced, energy-packed breakfast. It is best to have five to six small meals throughout the day. Snacks must be healthy choices of whole fruits and protein foods such as raw nuts. Generally speaking, Mesos have no need to cut back their complex carb intake in the evening meal because of their highly efficient metabolism. exerCiSe TiPS: If youre seeking lean muscle while losing fat, use light weights with plenty of repetitions to change your physique. For best results, go for an equal mix of cardio and weights to lose fat deposits and gain muscle mass. It is essential to minimize rest between sets and repetitions to around 30 seconds and no more than a minute to maximize muscle development. 3. eNdOMOrPh: Typically characterized by round body type, with more fat carried around the waist line. Naturally medium to

The case for cloth diapers ...............................................................

by rick martin
ts a fact: chemicals are everywhere today. Its most alarming though, when you consider the products you use to care for your children. Unfortunately, numerous studies show that disposable diapers the very first product most of us buy for our children pose a risk to them. Disposable diapers contain undisclosed chemicals chemicals that arent found on the labels of Huggies and Pampers. Try calling Proctor & Gamble as I did, and they will transfer you until you are about blue in the face, and then wont tell you what they expect you to wrap your childs bottom in all day and all night long. This is your childs clothing we are talking about, and you have no way of knowing all the chemicals that he or she is in constant contact with, many of which
can seep into their pores. What we do know about plastic disposable diapers is that they contain the chemical sodium polyacrylate, a superabsorbent polymer (SAP), which can absorb as much as 200 to 300 times its mass in liquid. The original superabsorbent diapers on the market contained five to six grams of SAPs per diaper. Todays new, thinner disposables have less wood pulp and more SAPs: 10 to 15 grams per diaper. According to the American Journal of Pediatrics, the use of disposable diapers should be limited because a study had found that they caused more frequent and more severe diaper rash. SAPs can also cause severe skin infections or worse. In the late 1980s, SAPs were removed from tampons because the material increased

green cleaning for a green home ...................................................................

by kris koenig
aving a green home isnt just about the building materials. Its also about how you care for your home. Does it make sense to build a green home or sustainably remodel your home and then add toxins to it? Thats what many homeowners do when they clean their homes. According to the EPA, levels of pollutants in indoor air can be from two to more than 100 times higher than outdoors. Many of these pollutants come from the products that are used to clean homes. The products can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which give off gas into the air we breathe. The off-gassing happens when you use the products and also when the products are in the bottle. The VOCs seep under the caps and through the sprayers of their bottles, so even if you have the bottle closed tightly, the harmful chemicals still get into the air in the home. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reviewed and rated more than 2,000 popular household cleaning products with grades A through F, based on the safety of their ingredients and the information they disclose about their contents. In their research, they found that many of the common spray cleaners contain ingredients that cause asthma. They created a report called EWG Cleaners Database Hall of Shame. The most common cleaning products are listed in the Hall of Shame. The problem is not only about the air quality in the home, but also about the surfaces that homeowners, their children and their pets come in contact with.
For instance, what are they cleaning their kitchen countertops with? They use products that they think are cleaning their counters, but in reality they are making their counters dirty. The first thing many homeowners do before they prepare a meal is clean the counter top with a common spray cleaner or wipe. Then they prepare their meal on top of this surface, completely unaware that they may be preparing food on top of a known carcinogen. Keep in mind that companies are not required to list the ingredients of cleaning products on the labels. So how do you know if the product you are using is safe if the ingredients arent disclosed on the bottle? And how do you know if an ingredient is harmful? The EWG has made it easy for you. On their website, www.ewg.org, they have a database of over 2,000 cleaning products and their ratings. When you click on a product, it shows you how it stacks up in terms of the environment, asthma/respiratory, skin allergies and irritation, developmental and reproductive toxicity, and cancer. Its a very useful tool that can help you in your purchasing decisions. The EWG database is also useful in understanding which products are greenwashing, or making claim to be green when they arent. There are no regulations about the terms natural, green, eco-friendly, etc., so a company can put these words on the bottle whether it is safe for the environment or not. There are products that claim to be green that earn an F on the EWG site. The EWG Cleaner Database is such a
powerful tool that takes the mystery out of buying products off the shelf. Making cleaning products with ingredients found in the home is another option. There are many resources online and in books that provide recipes for cleaning products. One of our favorite resources for nontoxic cleaning recipes is www.care2.com, which has recipes and tips in the Healthy Living Home section. You can get a lot done in your home with just baking soda, castile soap and a microfiber cloth. But you have to do a little research if youre going to make

Not your mamas metabolism ..........................................................

by Dr. steve Puckette
ust like Alice gazing through the looking glass, things are not always as they appear. Metabolism is not just about a simple process of calories in vs. calories out. It is the centerpiece of our own personal energy infrastructure, the driving force behind converting inputs to our body into the energy needed to sustain good health. Think for a moment about how a coal power plant works. Coal (the fuel) enters the power plant. Under the direction of a central control unit, a variety of machines and processes turn the coal into electricity, which then powers millions of homes. Similarly, metabolism requires the same three components (i.e., fuel, power plant and a central control unit) to produce the energy needed to power millions of cells. Lets look at these three pieces individually. Bodies require oxygen and sugar, just like a campfire needs oxygen and wood. Sugar is the easiest fuel for our bodies to use. Unfortunately, it has earned a bad reputation as junk food. But sugar itself is irreplaceable. If there is not enough sugar present in our bloodstream, the body can also use fats and carbohydrates from our diet as fuel sources. Next, every single cell in our body has its own little power plant called the mitochondria. These biochemical pathways convert the carbohydrates and fats we have taken in, into ATP, the electricity of our body. Building efficient power plants requires quality materials: the proteins, micronutrients and phytonutrients of food. Throughout life, our dietary needs
fluctuate to satisfy the fuel and repair needs of our body. Being responsive to those needs requires us to pay attention to what we eat and how well we satisfy it. Up until about 100 years ago, people lived on organic foods. The development of fertilizers and pesticides introduced us to conventionally grown foods and a better living through chemistry attitude towards food. The high demand for convenience and shelf life degraded our food supply one more step and brought us to the Standard American Diet (SAD) of highly processed and junk foods, which have little, if any, nutritional value. Phytonutrients, the magic of food, come from the natural properties of herbs and spices. Garlic, for instance, naturally boosts the immune system. We may never know how many of these have been lost during the processing of real foods. We are bombarded daily with new fad diets. While there are always some people for whom these diets appear to work, they usually do not work for the masses. The centerpiece of a good diet is vegetables. We all need protein, animal fats and carbohydrates, but the proportion will vary depending on which of these fuel sources our body thrives on. We need to find the individual balance appropriate for us. Another aspect of our metabolism is how well we absorb the nutrients we eat. Digestion requires coordinated action of the stomach, small and large intestines, and liver. When digestion is off, we may experience constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating
or worse. We do not absorb as well and we become malnourished. Our central control unit, the brain, runs all of this. Our brain monitors how much energy we have and how much energy we need in order for all of our body systems to function optimally. The nervous system sends nerves to every organ, but not to every cell. Our body communicates to each cell through hormones manufactured by specific glands, primarily the thyroid, adrenal and pancreas. Thyroid hormone increases cell activity and is needed by every cell in our body. Adrenal glands increase the amount of sugar in our blood stream, and insulin makes it possible for the sugar to get into individual cells. Metabolism affects the nervous system, which in turn affects the metabolism. Poor metabolism results in a vicious cycle, a downward spiral of one dysfunction causing another dysfunction. Taking care of your metabolism can turn this process back into a virtuous cycle, where improved function in one area of the body leads to improved function in another and another and helps to return you to your optimal health.

Weight lifting workouts should be low to moderate weight workouts with a high

Short rests of 30-60 seconds between sets are highly recommended, and maintaining an elevated heart rate throughout the workout is essential for fat loss. Slowing down or resting too long will cause the endo to lose the benefits of the weight lifting workouts. Consider circuit training and supersets. What is YOUR somatotype?

Its a little more work, not just because you have to make the product, but because you need to understand pH levels and what your surface can and cant tolerate. Green cleaning is one of the most important steps in creating a green home since it affects your indoor air quality and every surface that gets touched on a daily basis.

Magnesium the essential mineral making a comeback ......................................................................

metabolizing carbohydrates and fats for energy. It is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone production. And one of magnesiums most important roles of all is the part it plays in maintaining and restoring heart health. This underestimated mineral helps with such important processes as regulating blood pressure, maintaining vascular tone and regulating heart rhythm, and is possibly even involved in the reversal of arterial plaque. Early signs of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, poor memory, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, apathy and depression. As the deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms and coronary spasms can occur. Eventually, if the deficiency continues, chronic health issues such as arthritis and diabetes can develop. Magnesium is considered an essential mineral because the body doesnt naturally synthesize it; therefore, it has to come from the diet and/or supplements. Usual recommended dietary sources are green, leafy vegetables such as swiss chard, spinach and broccoli, sea vegetables, chocolate and some nuts and seeds. However, as soils have become increasingly depleted of magnesium (and most other minerals) and waters have become more polluted, it has become difficult to consume enough magnesium from dietary sources alone. In fact, it is estimated that between 70 and 85% of Americans today, even those consuming what is considered a healthy diet, are deficient in this mineral. Other factors present in our modern lifestyle that likely contribute to

magnesium deficiencies include over-consumption of calcium (balance of minerals is important), alcohol abuse, sugar consumption, caffeine, stress, the use of prescription diuretics, antibiotic use, liver and kidney disease, and oral contraceptive use. For all of the above reasons, most experts in the field today recommend the supplementation of magnesium in tandem with a good diet. Magnesium can be found as a supplement in two basic forms: chelated and non-chelated. Chelated forms are those that are attached to another molecule (often an amino acid). Common chelated forms include magnesium orotate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium aspartate and magnesium malate. Magnesium can also be attached to an organic acid (like citrate) or to a fatty acid (like stearate). The non-chelated forms of magnesium include magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate and magnesium carbonate. Some research suggests that chelated forms of magnesium bound to amino acids are better absorbed than other forms. Suggested supplementation amounts are usually between 400 and 800 mg. per day.*
MAgNeSiUM ASPArTATe - A chelated form containing an ion of magnesium oxide attached to the amino acid aspartic acid. It is considered to be well-absorbed. MAgNeSiUM glyCiNATe - A chelated form that is bound to the amino acid glycine. This form of magnesium is less disruptive to the bowels than other forms, which can cause diarrhea. Magnesium glycinate is easy for the body to absorb; individuals suffering from conditions like celiac and Crohns disease might benefit from this very bio-available form of magnesium. MAgNeSiUM MAlATe - The malate form of magnesium is derived from malic acid, which plays a key role in energy production. Magnesium malate is of specific benefit to individuals such as athletes, as well as those with musculoskeletal problems like fibromyalgia. MAgNeSiUM CiTrATe - Derived from the magnesium salt of citric acid, this chelated form has a lower concentration, but a high level of bioavailability. Magnesium citrate is commonly used to induce a bowel movement, but has also been studied for its ability to help prevent kidney stones. MAgNeSiUM Oxide - Some people use this non-chelated form as an antacid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach or acid indigestion, or as a laxative. Do not take magnesium oxide for these reasons for longer than two weeks unless advised to do so by your healthcare practitioner.

what is gluten intolerance? ......................................................................

by marcia k. simler, cnhP
luten intolerance is a malabsorption syndrome caused by a reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. People with gluten intolerance cannot digest this protein and, as a result, suffer from various bowel abnormalities. Are you gluten intolerant? You could be if you suffer with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, weight gain, bone or joint pain, dental enamel defects, depression, infertility, anemia, alopecia areata (hair loss), migraines, multiple sclerosis (MS), psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or any of the dozens of other symptoms now believed to be connected to gluten intolerance. While gluten has been a food staple in the Western world for hundreds of years, today the enormous scope of gluten intolerance is a health problem that cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that the symptoms they are experiencing could be a reaction to the gluten contained in the wheat, rye, barley and oat products they consume on a daily basis. While the world is just beginning to understand gluten intolerance, scientists believe it developed hundreds of years ago when our ancestors who used to forage for nuts and meat first introduced grains such as wheat into their diets. People with blood type O have this common problem, along with type A and type B. Blood type AB may tolerate a small amount, but its best to avoid all gluten. We do not have the natural grains we had 200 years ago. With years of modifications to these seeds, it is a shame the heritage seeds of yesteryear are not used presently. The villi in the small intestine normally responsible for absorbing
fluids and nutrients become flattened and deficient in digestive enzymes, severely reducing the area available for absorption of nutrients such as fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. One of the main reasons gluten is so devastating is that the place in the small intestine where it wreaks the most havoc is the site where B12 is absorbed. This vitamin is crucial for many cellular functions, including the bodys manufacturing of red blood cells, nerves and neurotransmitters. The best way to check out a gluten problem is to eliminate it completely from your diet for a few weeks. Most symptoms of inflammation will disappear within that period of time and be completely eliminated by the time you go gluten-free for six weeks. The best advantage to go gluten-free is weight loss. Our fat around the middle (spare tire) is due to gluten intolerance. Many people lose 20, 30 or up to 50 pounds or more just by eliminating gluten. Wheat gluten can spike your blood sugar worse than pop or candy, and be the culprit for diabetes and heart disease, according to the author Dr. William Davis, M.D., of the book, WHEAT BELLY. I suggest you check out wheat-free/gluten-free products to keep your body healthy!

dowsing connect with your intuitive self ......................................................................

by sonya Theis
owsing is an ancient art with roots going back to all manner of people and cultures. Divination, which means to have perception by intuition, instinctive foresight or unusual insight, is another appropriate name for dowsing. Historically it has been known as the process of using L-rods or pendulums to search for underground water sources. You may also be familiar with dowsing as the process of using a pendulum to tap into the intuitive mind using a series of questions that can be answered yes or no. The pendulum used in dowsing is simply a tool or piece of equipment. What actually makes this tool move is the persons own autonomic nervous system nothing supernatural. The movement is created when the nerves in the fingers respond to the messages sent from the brain. Heres how the process works in dowsing: the left brain (logical brain) asks the question; the right brain (intuitive brain) interprets the question and responds back; the left brain then translates this answer into a signal through the autonomic nervous system and sends this signal down through the nervous system to the finger tips to give the yes or no response to the pendulum. Learning dowsing is a very personal journey. A student can be educated either by self-teaching through books or by taking a class from a teacher who has the expertise in divination. He or she learns how to be connected to their intuitive self by being grounded and centered in Spirit, often facilitated by meditating beforehand. In knowing this important connection, their pendulum is then their communication between their own conscious and subconscious mind, and nothing else. As with anything, it takes time to learn
this skill. A student must stay focused on having a positive attitude, being patient and trusting himself. We all have intuitive abilities and dowsing is one way to direct those abilities in a positive way. For example, a practitioners yes or no question could be related to their own experience in the areas of food, nutrition, relationships, essential oils, chakra balancing or anything else where they want to know what is in their highest good. It is important for practitioners to keep ethics in mind when dowsing. If working with someone else, it is necessary to obtain their permission to ask questions about them, as to avoid invasion of privacy. Also, questions to the future are based on information available today, and due to changes in people or events, the answers will change with that. You can find a variety of resources on dowsing through the American Society of Dowsers, Inc. at www.dowsers.org. There are also excellent chart books to assist students of this art, one being: The Pendulum Charts Volume I by Dale W. Olson. This ancient art does lead the practitioner onto a path of self awareness and enlightenment. Try it for yourself and enjoy!

Ken-Adi & Sally Rae Ring honor spirituality in their bodywork, hypnosis and community service efforts
By JAcKie PeteRS
aving a brush with death can certainly give you new perspective on life. some whove had such an experience even go on to devote the rest of their lives to contributing to the greater good. One such gentleman is Ken-adi ring, CHt, CI, LMt, of Madison. at the age of 19, the Mazomanie farm boy was involved in a horrific, fiery car crash that put him in st. Marys hospital for 74 days and through 14 reconstructive surgeries. It was a difficult journey to say the least. With extensive third-degree burns to his face, head and neck, and having lost an ear and a finger (which was reattached), among other injuries, he felt helpless, self-conscious and lonely. Ken-adi still remembers clearly the impact the nursing students and assistants had on him back in 1965. the massages they delivered each night made him feel good; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Imagine that, when being in so much pain and anguish, healing touch gave him hope. When they put their hands on me, it made me feel connected, that someone cared, he recalls. after his long recovery, Ken-adi decided to study massage therapy because of the tremendous impact it had on him during the struggle to regain his health. He found he had a natural knack for touch, for knowing what a body needs and for connecting with people. He concurrently found his studies in the art and science of yoga and meditation to be equally gratifying. It was then that Ken-adi found his calling and his way to serve people. He dedicated his life to the harmonious integration of mind, body and spirit tri-unity.
on a mission of knowledge and service ever since opening his business: He is a senior licensed massage and bodywork therapist/instructor (longest practicing in the state of Wisconsin, in fact, with 38 years of professional service); certified hypnotherapist practitioner/instructor (10 years of service); certified yoga and meditation practitioner/instructor (39 years); mindfulness and intuitive arts consultant (30 years); reiki master, energy worker, hands-on healer (20 years); spiritual consultant, author, speaker, teacher, caregiver and wellness/spiritual events promoter. Ken-adi has had a full life traveling, practicing and teaching internationally. (He has been teaching massage since the 70s. He inaugurated the first massage school in Madison, the Wisconsin school of Massage and Bodywork, 1987-1989, and an associate Milwaukee campus. He closed the school to focus on his practice and creating events.) What seems to drive him, and draw others to him, is his spirituality. I believe in the spiritual presence of one light. I bring spirit to every treatment, person, class or group, he says. In our ever-changing world, the spirit within is a never-changing constant source of grace. Our essential nature is spirit. this spirit permeates all things. We are a manifestation of the One. due to Ken-adis further studies and dedication, services through triUnity Wellife associates continued to grow over the years and included many aspects of wellness and awareness exploration that bring peace and healing to the individual and our planet. the philosophy of the groundbreaking a Course In Miracles (aCIM) and the Landmark Forum have been an ongoing influence in his life. He continues to offer the community a splendid avenue of personal and spiritual growth and describes his business's mission in this way: tri-Unity Wellife associates is an association of staff and volunteers dedicated to the harmonious integration of mind, body and spirit. We strive for wellness and harmony individually and in our local and global community. We support sustainable, environmental and ecological balance. Our commitment is to serve the highest good of the individual, contributing to a healthy functioning and participation in our community.

Ken-adi officially started his service, tri-Unity Wellife associates LLC, in 1975, and it has been thriving ever since. due to his curiosity about reincarnation and ability to see energies around people as a young boy, he found it a natural progression over the years to study related modalities such as intuitive arts, spirituality and energy work. all of my studies have made me a more whole person, he explains. It is evident from the following list of accomplishments that he has been

given to agrace HospiceCare and porchlight Homeless shelter, another one of the many ways Ken-adi gives back to his community. Many partners and assistants were a vital part of tri-Unity Wellife associates and Ken-adis life through the years for whom he is grateful. Most importantly, is his wife, sally rae ring, rn, LMt, who has had a lot on her plate as well, recently retiring as a neuroscience nurse (st. Marys Hospital) after 33 years of service. Her passion for helping others and being of service continues through her increased responsibilities at triUnity Wellife associates, where she serves as massage and bodywork therapist, and co-director at Wellife enterprises, where she is the on-site manager of special events. sallys interest in pursuing massage and yoga, while still a nurse, was piqued after a 1995-1997 apprenticeship under Ken-adi. she went on to massage school and became certified, and has practiced her healing art since 2000. Ken-adi relishes in her creativity and her ability to artistically express her inner being and spirit. they share not only a love for each other, but also a love to serve others.
a health scare of another kind that came to light 15 years ago led Ken-adi to pursue his interest in hypnotherapy. as use of his hands became threatened and more of a struggle over the years due to carpal tunnel issues, he contemplated the fact that he may have to give up his massage practice. Ken-adi believed that hypnotherapy would give him the ability to continue to help and heal people. thanks to successful surgery 13 years ago, ring is able to continue his massage practice and now hes doing great with both services. as a trained certified hypnotherapist and instructor, and member of the national Guild of Hypnotists (nGH) since 2003, Ken-adi opened KarInG Hypnotherapy. His passion for this practice remains today as does his excitement about the capacity of hypnosis to treat people and to help individuals overcome issues and reassert personal power in life. I believe hypnosis can relieve, revitalize or move an individual to a better state of health and wholeness, he says. Be it the desire to quit smoking, lose weight, overcome phobias, sleep disorders or anything else, hypnosis can help release the hold of addiction and unreasonable fears. Ken-adi describes fear as an illusion that we self-perpetuate, and says, It can be treated. He has also had success with helping individuals improve sports performance. In addition to hypnotherapy sessions, Ken-adi also offers a 100+ hour certified hypnosis training approved by the national Guild of Hypnotists twice each year, spring and fall. His next course is april 7-14 at Belle Haven Lake House in Beaver dam. He describes it as world-class training that will define you as a professional hypnotist and give you amazing tools to at the very least enhance your practice or give you a new career option.
Karen foxgrover, Ken-adi's event managing assistant. another important partner, Karen Foxgrover, his event managing assistant, began assisting Ken-adi and Wellife enterprises in 2001. as he explains, although challenged by muscular dystrophy, Karen is unstoppable and central to the production team. Without her management and empowerment skill set, we would not have been as successful in bringing events and services to greater Madison and the south central Wisconsin community. she was a blessing when she first came into my office and still remains that to this day. Looking back, Ken-adi admits that his career involved some risk-taking, pursuing projects few have. He has always taken comfort in this quote from a Course In Miracles, simply, there is nothing to fear Love is all there is. Love is the purpose for being Ken-adi further adds, to discover the honor it is to serve each other and to do so out of love. When we do, we are simply serving our self. experience a massage session (Ken-adi & sally) or hypnosis session (Ken-adi) with these unique providers by making an appointment at 608.256.0080.

its a dogs world! ......................................................................

by mandy Penisten
he dogs world, though technically the same as yours and mine, is perceived very differently by your canine species than it is by the human species. Your dog makes sense of the world through his nose; while you and I primarily use visual cues. A dogs sense of smell is amazingly more capable than that of any human. Their genomic set-up provides their nose with millions of receptor sites in their nasal passages, which allows a dog to detect and code smells far more than you or I. They also have an additional organ in the nose, the vomernasal organ, which allows them to further detect smells through pheromones and other chemicals the dog is able to bring into its mouth. Imagine that everything you see has a smell to it and that each smell is available to you at all times so the jacket across the room not only smells of the person who wears it, but also the office they wear it to everyday, the car they drive and the coffee they drink (and tend to spill on the front).

tells a story through scent that you and I are completely unaware of. So when Fido greets you at the door and is sniffing you and giving you kisses, he is also finding out what your scent story is or in other words, asking you how your day was. For dogs, hearing is a great way for them to map out their world. Your dog can hear much more than you might think; even though he may not be listening. Dogs are capable of discerning different tonalities in our speech. What this means is that they know when we are angry, sad, upset, happy, etc. Amazingly, they can even tell the difference between a question and a statement through the way in which we raise and lower the endings of our sentences. There is much more to the canine world than scent. Their sight is also very different from yours and mine. While a dog can see just fine, they tend to be able to focus much better on moving objects. This makes sense when you think of how breeders of hunting dogs have selected dogs that are able to pick up on small movements in the brush and the like. That being said, we cannot say that all breeds of dogs are the same or even characterize all dogs within a certain breed. Just like humans, they come in all sizes, shapes, temperaments and capabilities; some with extraordinary abilities and some without. How does this information help us to better communicate with our dogs? Understanding how a dog perceives the world will better enable you to engage your dog and motivate him to perform the tasks you want him to. I always tell the clients in my training classes to have multiple kinds of treats in their treat pouches for classes or training times. This allows them to entice their dogs smell and taste buds with multiple sensations, while also engaging their brains, as they will not know which treat is coming. In addition, utilizing hand signals can be much easier for dogs to understand initially when training and certainly from distances. Lastly, utilizing the notion of pitch and tonality can help you to engage your dog to listen more attentively and pay attention when needed. Using a high-pitch repeated sound to grab your dogs attention is going to be much more affective than a low, monotone come. Bottom line: the dogs world is much more complex than one might think. If you take a moment to step out of your own bipedal world and attempt to imagine what a world of scent might be like, you will come to realize that the human world we live in is truly much different than that of our beloved four-legged family members.

what the world needs now is ...........................................................................

by Doug brown
ts obvious isnt it? We need food, water, clean air, a thriving planet, peace and, as Burt Bacharach and Hal David remind us, love, sweet love. Easy question, easy answer. End of story? Hardly. More difficult than knowing what we need, is knowing how to get what we need. This is an especially vexing problem today because it is our own actions and human nature itself that are depriving us of what we need. We stress the web of life, risking environmental collapse; we over-consume fossil fuels, exacerbating climate change; our burgeoning population is outstripping the worlds resources; our most brilliant minds have created the possible nightmare of nuclear blowback, and the greatest violent threats we face are from humanity itself. If the problems are of our own creation then the solutions must also lie within us, but our inner workings remain a great mystery. If we knew ourselves better, we wouldnt be our own worst enemy. It certainly isnt our intention to destroy ourselves. We just dont seem to know how to stop. So what is it about us that perpetuates our self-induced problems? People have blamed ignorance, shortsightedness, distraction, denial, depression, fatalism, prejudice, mutual mistrust, selfishness and a myriad of other human traits. If the root of our problems is, in fact, these collective dysfunctions that are the aggregate expression of our individual failings, can they be changed? Can we, for example, replace our short-sightedness with broader frames of reference? Can we change distraction into attention, despondence into determination and fatalism into faith? Perhaps we can. Techniques for transformation have been studied and practiced in every area of human endeavor. In science we learn how to learn, explore and evaluate. In prayer we connect with our highest hopes and aspirations. In meditation we learn how the mind functions, and practice peace and compassion. In martial arts and athletics we learn to stay centered and responsive in the face of challenges. In social settings we form bonds of friendship. And in the public sphere we break down the barriers of fear and misunderstanding between ourselves and others, learning to collaborate with and appreciate one another. So there is much we can learn, and the most important lessons ultimately teach us to know ourselves. Tricia Yu (founder of the Tai Chi Center of Madison and my teacher) first learned meditation and Tai Chi in Taiwan. She believes such mindfulness practices are critically needed today. Todays rapid pace of change, high levels of stress, lower levels
of physical activity and constant flood of sensationalized media distractions combine to close us off from ourselves. Mindfulness practices restore the inner awareness we will need to understand and effectively meet the global challenges facing us. Perhaps because we sense this, more people than ever are engaging in meditation, yoga and Tai Chi. The challenges of today are likely the greatest humans have ever faced, and they call for a supreme, global effort to meet them. There is much to be done. But before any great effort comes a moment to gather oneself, to commit to the task ahead, to take a deep breath before plunging in. So, to meet the problems of the world, let us start by stopping. Stop and discover stillness. In stillness and quiet, we find repose and equanimity. Here we can notice what we know and what we need to learn; we can feel what is precious to us, what we want to protect; we can face our fears and realize our strengths; we can perceive our connections to the earth and find inspiration in its beauty; we can recognize our kinship with all people and be energized by love and friendship; and we can envision wondrous possibilities and be emboldened by hope. Thus prepared poised and balanced, feet firmly on the ground, drawing calmness in each breath, knowing we are all in this together perhaps we will begin to see not only what the world needs now, but also the way to get there.

ealth-conscious parents often worry about what their kids are eating. Those greasy fast food French fries kids love might be cringeworthy to parents, but its not just the foods kids request that parents should monitor. Adults and children alike have favorite beverages that may or may not be healthy. But which beverages are beneficial and which should be avoided? The answer to that isnt always absolute. The following breakdown can help health-conscious parents determine which drinks their

However, these drinks are often high in calories, and the amount of vitamins and minerals provided is minimal.

The symptoms of dehydration mimic those of hunger, so kids who dont drink enough water could be mistaking mild dehydration for hunger. drinking more water might just help kids avoid eating an extra snack or two, indirectly helping them lose weight.
Still, the drinks are not entirely devoid of nutritional value, so parents might want to decide if theyll allow kids to drink sweetened drinks in moderation or remove them from the refrigerator entirely. valuable nutrients like calcium and protein, contributing to strong bones and teeth while helping build strong muscles. But when choosing which milk to give kids, choose fat-free (formerly skim) or 1 percent milk, each of which provides the same amount of nutrients as whole or 2 percent without also providing unnecessary fat. Even chocolate milk can be a healthy beverage option for kids. Just be sure to apply the same principles mentioned above (namely, choose nonfat or low-fat chocolate milk) and keep in mind chocolate also comes with extra calories thanks to sugar. So monitor how much chocolate milk kids are drinking. more water might just help kids avoid eating an extra snack or two, indirectly helping them lose weight.

Sodas
Sodas have taken quite a public relations hit in the 21st century, and thats likely because they provide no nutritional value. Whats more, many sodas provide more sugar than a childs body needs, which will lead to weight gain and possibly even cavities or tooth decay. Children typically love soda, so parents might find it difficult to stop kids soda consumption entirely. However, sodas status as a sugary, highcalorie drink makes it one beverage most parents will want their kids to avoid. If kids must drink soda, try diet soda instead. Though diet soda also provides no nutritional value, at the very least its a lowercalorie alternative.

ginkgo
(Ginkgo biloba) ...................................
he ginkgo tree is one of the oldest types of trees in the world. Ginkgo seeds have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and cooked seeds are occasionally eaten. Historically, ginkgo leaf extract has been used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, fatigue and tinnitus (ringing or roaring sounds in the ears). Today, folk uses of ginkgo leaf extracts include attempts to: improve memory; treat or help prevent Alzheimers disease and other types of dementia; decrease intermittent claudication (leg pain caused by narrowing arteries); and treat sexual dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, tinnitus and other health conditions. Extracts are usually taken from the ginkgo leaf and are used to make tablets, capsules or teas. Occasionally, ginkgo extracts are used in skin products.
insulin resistance and short-term memory loss associated with electroconvulsive therapy for depression.
Side effects and cautions
what the science says
Numerous studies of ginkgo have been done for a variety of conditions. Among the most widely researched are dementia, memory impairment, intermittent claudication and tinnitus. An NCCAM-funded study of the well-characterized ginkgo product EGb-761 found it ineffective in lowering the overall incidence of dementia and Alzheimers disease in the elderly. Further analysis of the same data also found ginkgo to be ineffective in slowing cognitive decline, lowering blood pressure or reducing the incidence of hypertension. In this clinical trial, known as the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory study, researchers recruited more than 3,000 volunteers age 75 and over who took 240 mg of ginkgo daily. Participants were followed for an average of approximately six years. Some smaller studies of ginkgo for memory enhancement have had promising results, but a trial sponsored by the National Institute on Aging of more than 200 healthy adults over age 60 found that ginkgo taken for six weeks did not improve memory. Overall, the evidence on ginkgo for symptoms of intermittent claudication has not yet shown a significant benefit for this condition, although several small studies have found modest improvements. There is conflicting evidence on the efficacy of ginkgo for tinnitus. Other NCCAM-funded research includes studies of ginkgo for symptoms of multiple sclerosis, intermittent claudication, cognitive decline, sexual dysfunction due to antidepressants,
Side effects of ginkgo may include headache, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, dizziness or allergic skin reactions. More severe allergic reactions have occasionally been reported. There are some data to suggest that ginkgo can increase bleeding risk, so people who take anticoagulant drugs, have bleeding disorders, or have scheduled surgery or dental procedures should use caution and talk to a health care provider if using ginkgo. Fresh (raw) ginkgo seeds contain large amounts of a chemical called ginkgotoxin, which can cause serious adverse reactions even seizures and death. Roasted seeds can also be dangerous. Products made from standardized ginkgo leaf extracts contain little ginkgotoxin and appear to be safe when used orally and appropriately. Tell all your health care providers about any complementary health practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

The health consequences of leaky gut and SibO ......................................................................

by Jack a. erb
what is leaky gut?
Leaky gut refers to a situation where the intestinal membranes have been damaged by inflammation so they cannot filter out toxins as effectively. This allows toxins to be absorbed into the blood stream, thus irritating the rest of the body.
what causes leaky gut?
Leaky gut is caused by any number of things introduced into the body, including medications like antibiotics, antacids and corticosteroids. Other triggers include stress, diet, infections and decreased reproductive hormones. Leaking toxins can burden your liver and immune system! The damaged membranes can allow bacteria and viruses to pass into your system to damage other organs and systems. So you can see that this could lead to any number of other health problems.
what can you do to improve leaky gut and the many health problems it causes?
intestine. Most of the bacteria should be in your large intestine, or colon. Too many bacteria in your small intestine can damage the enzymes that are there to help digest your food. If you have an overgrowth of bacteria here it can leave sucrose (sugar) and isomaltose (starch) to sit there unabsorbed. This in turn leads to bloating, constipation, diarrhea and eventually, leaky gut. It is estimated that 35-50 percent of the general public has SIBO! If left untreated, it can lead to much more serious problems. Just a few diseases linked to SIBO are acne rosacea, anemia, autism, diverticulitis, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) and Crohns disease. So, needless to say, it is a good idea to get tested. There are test kits that you can order through your doctor to determine if you have SIBO. Be sure your doctor is educated about these conditions. It will eliminate a lot of problems down the road of life!

There are a number of steps you can take: Avoid intestinal irritants like food additives, drugs and chemicals. Make sure you have plenty of fiber in your diet to improve the time it takes for food to move through your colon (this should only be 18-24 hours). Fiber also binds the intestinal toxins, which can protect your colon from irritating foods, drugs, etc. that you are not able to avoid. Drink plenty of water (alkaline water is best). Water is essential as is eliminating all soda and carbonated drinks. Consider an herbal laxative and, of course, food enzymes. Laxatives should not be used on a long-term basis, however. Evaluate your diet. Cut out greasy and fried foods. Drastically reduce hot bread (toast), biscuits, muffins, waffles. Cut way down on sugars and sweets. Do not drink when eating, but wait at least one hour afterwards for the enzymes to help digestion. No liquids with your meal means no coffee, tea, milk, wine or beer. Exercise and stay active. Just taking a walk is good.
For leaky gut its best to start with a cleanse. Try out Clean Start for 14 Days. In Apple or Wild Berry Stock #s 3992-6 & 3993-8.

loving yourself = success and health! .............................................................................

by Laura schuch, acsm-cPT
he foundation for success in ANY area of life, including attaining your health and fitness goals, is having a healthy self-image and loving yourself. This does not mean having an inflated ego or being narcissistic; those are entirely different than having a healthy amount of selfesteem. Loving yourself causes a cascade of wonderful positive things to happen and by nature draws more good to you than bad. Life is never perfect, and it always has its challenges, but people who love themselves handle their challenges with greater ease and in healthier ways than people who suffer from low self-esteem. When it comes to fitness and weight loss, especially for women, loving yourself changes the way you approach exercise and healthy eating. For most people, the focus shifts from a panicked feeling of needing to lose X pounds RIGHT NOW no matter what it takes, to a gentle and kind attitude of doing things that are healthy simply because they are healthy and make you feel good and being pleasantly surprised when one of the side effects turns out to be the attaining of long-held weight loss goals. One other side effect usually ends up being the long-term adoption of healthy habits with more ease than when the motivation to do that is driven by a negative self-image. Learning to love yourself is a very individual journey. In order to learn to love yourself, you must truly WANT to love yourself, and be willing to consistently put the effort in to face and change old behaviors and thought patterns that do not serve a positive purpose in your life. The journey isnt necessarily a very linear one, either. There are twists and turns, and sometimes
steps backwards along the way. But so long as you are prepared for that and prepared to always get back up and keep going, you will be successful!

Learning the art of self-love is one of the most worthwhile journeys you will ever embark upon. The road may not be straight and easy, but it will lead you to success beyond anything you can dream of, in every area of your life.

perfect! If you make a mistake, it is a learning opportunity. Accept yourself for who you ARE, not who you arent. Forgive yourself. The past must be left behind in order for you to move forward, and part of that is forgiving yourself. Be gentle, kind and patient with yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to treat yourself this way, just as you would treat your children or other loved ones. Dump the self-hatred. Start speaking love and acceptance to yourself instead of intolerance and hatred. It may take awhile to get used to, but the effort is well worth it. Praise yourself, even for the tiniest things you do well. Soon it will become a habit! Take good care of your body because it makes you feel good, not because you have to look a certain way or hit a certain number on the scale. Eat lots of fruits, veggies and lean unprocessed protein. Drink lots of water. Develop an exercise habit if you dont already have one. Find forms of exercise that are fun and that make you feel good both mentally and physically. Have fun. Be grateful for everything you have.

A monthly advice column for your energy system ......................................................................
Everything in the universe contains energy, yet energy is something many of us dont understand. Every month Tina Bensman, a practicing clairvoyant and energy healer, is here to answer any questions you have about your energy system. Topics may include energy anatomy, dream analysis, chakra balancing, manifestation, life patterns, etc. The ideas written here do not replace medical attention. Always listen to your
body, mind and intuition when receiving advice of any kind. Dear Tina, Recently, I have had so many ideas. I am bombarded with projects I want to do. I make sketches and lists, and the ideas just keep coming. The problem is, I dont actually do anything about them. Its not like I dont have the ambition, but I just dont get off the couch and take the steps to accomplish anything. What is wrong with me? Creative Procrastinator Dear Creative Procrastinator, Ah, nothing is wrong with you. Your true energy is aware there is a problem and recognizes an imbalance. Thats huge! It sounds to me like your 2nd chakra, which regulates creativity and ideas amongst many other areas, is working hard, evolving and going strong. The issue lies with the 2nd chakras connection to the 3rd chakra. The 3rd chakra regulates motivation, goals, to-do lists, success, confidence, personal power, etc. So the creative energy you are developing isnt reaching the area of your energy system that can do anything about it. You said this started recently. So, was there a time that you were able to accomplish tasks with more ease? If so, when was that? What happened between then

and now? Make a list of anything that occurred in your life physically, emotionally, mentally, relationally and/or spiritually. For example, did you get a promotion at work, or did you get laid off? Make a list of anything that happened, whether you think its related or not. Once you discover the reason your 3rd chakra shut down, you can begin to restructure your beliefs about this area. If you have always struggled with this issue, even as a child, I would consider the possibility that you came into this lifetime with a blockage in your 3rd chakra already. If you believe in past lives, I would examine this in a past-life regression session. You know that you have these ideas to fulfill them, and that is why you recognize the issue and are discouraged. Examining these potential blocks will not only help with this area of your life but will also open up much more. Good luck to you!

Tension and trauma releasing exercises (Tre)

What are they and who benefits from them? ......................................................................
by Jacy sundlie
RE is a revolutionary technique using six simple exercises to release stress and tension from the body that accumulate from everyday circumstances of life, from difficult situations, immediate or prolonged stressful situations, or traumatic life experiences. TRE is being practiced by thousands of people around the world and is quickly becoming a popular way to release stress. TRE evokes a self-controlled muscular shaking process in the body called neurogenic muscle tremors. The uniqueness of this technique is that this shaking originates deep in the core of the body in the psoas muscles. These gentle tremors reverberate outwards along the spine, releasing tension from the sacrum to the cranium.
SOMe Of The rePOrTed beNefiTS Of Tre Are: Easily learned. Self-empowering. Self-help. Promote less worry and anxiety. Reduced muscle and back pain. Greater emotional resiliency. Increased flexibility. Easily integrated into a daily routine. Promote a sense of inner peace and well-being.
Once a trauma befalls us we are forced, whether we like it or not, whether we want to or not, to follow its life-altering path. At times,

this process can lead us through episodes of helplessness and hopelessness. It can terrify us by unveiling the fragility, precariousness and vulnerability of our humanity. It tears at the very fabric of our identity and radically redefines our view of life. However, it is precisely because this experience has burned the bridges of our past ways of thinking that we are forced into a new way of being. The old ways of thinking and relating no longer work for us, and a new way of being emerges. We discover that on the other side of this frightening journey we have the potential for a new life of compassion, peace and wisdom. David Berceli, Ph.D., is an international, renowned expert in the areas of trauma intervention and conflict resolution. For the past 30 years he has provided trauma relief workshops and designed recovery programs for international organizations around the world. Dr. Berceli has developed specific processes enabling people to manage personal trauma, as well as bringing healing and reconciliation between diverse groups. He is the creator of TRE. Dr. Berceli continues to be involved in trauma recovery programs and has just recently returned from working with the community, health care workers and first responders in Newtown, Connecticut. He has personally taught and facilitated the TRE technique to more than 1 1/2 million people. To learn more about Dr. David Berceli and TRE, please visit www.traumaprevention.com. He will be conducting a 2-day TRE workshop on March 9th and 10th in Madison. This workshop is free to all veterans and first responders on the first day.

breaking the cycle of antibiotics ...............................................................

by Dr. Wade anunson
ne of the most costly issues this time of year is lost work or school time due to illness. In 2005, 69 million workers missed days due to illness, to the tune of 478 million days lost, totaling $260 billion of lost economic output that year. Much of it is avoidable yes, completely unavoidable. Its true that we are constantly being exposed to viruses, bacteria, molds, etc. One school of thought is to kill the bugs with medications such as antibiotics and, most recently, prednisone. Although this very common approach is well accepted within the medical community, it definitely has its consequences of further weakening the bodys immune system. This shows up in repeated infections, furthering this downward spiral. Also well-known is the fact that continued use has created superbugs that have become immune to the antibiotics, constantly making infections harder to treat with these same medications. So how is it that some people make it through this time of year without getting sick or run down, while others seem to be sick more often than not? Well, they either have super powers or a healthy, adapting body!
true! I realize that if youre reading this article, you already see the body as having an amazing capacity to heal and adapt. This might simply be confirmation for your already holistic viewpoint of the body, and hopefully supporting what you believe to be true and self empowering. The cause is not the seed or the bug, but rather the inability to adapt to the environment, which is like the soil. In farming, cultivating a healthy crop requires a lot of work in preparing the soil. If shortcuts are taken, the yield is less than desired. There is no
Madisons Community-Based Art Gallery
The soil or the seed?
How do organic farmers continually create such beautiful, flavorful, nutrient-rich produce without the use of chemicals and fertilizers? How is it that some farmers believe you cannot have successful yields without pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, while organic farmers do it successfully without these aids? In our body, treating the seed by attempting to kill the bacteria or virus only makes them stronger. This is because as a biological organism, innately designed to adapt to its environment, it too is evolving to survive. The inevitable increase in repeat infection is due to the antibiotic destroying your naturally present healthy bacteria or normal flora found within the body. The insanity is to continue to treat the recurring infections without getting to the cause (the soil) and strengthening the bodys immune system.

Spirit Elan is a healing destination where youll experience the expertise of renowned intuitive Roi Solberg. She has dedicated her life to helping and healing people through her intuitive services, psychic readings, hypnotherapy, Reiki and archetypal readings/consultations. Solberg explains that she is energized and gratified to no end when she hears clients say, You gave me hope. By formally studying intuition in the 70s, Solberg learned how to identify and manage the intuition that had been with her since birth. She went on to offer psychic readings, sharing with clients what the future held for them in issues of love, career, health and abundance. By the 80s, Solbergs practice became more interactive as she enhanced the focus of her work actually helping clients create that future that was found in their readings. Using her intuitive skills to go beyond the known into the unknown, she could identify blocks that kept her clients from living the lives they wanted. Her clients became actively involved in creating the plan to achieve the changes they desired in their lives. This process included assignments, suggested reading and work to assist them in getting their lives back on track. Years later, Solberg further refined her work when she pursued her interest in the archetypes and how they influence peoples lives. When studying medical intuition with Caroline Myss and Dr. Norman Shealy, she was amazed at how quickly situations could be clarified and problems resolved by identifying the archetypes in the conflicts.

According to Amazon.com: Spirit of Archetypes: Cards of Spiritual Guidance is a new approach to self-discovery that helps you evaluate your life and regain the power of your own spirit. 48 archetype cards, beautifully illustrated by Dorothy RittalMcIntyre, symbolize the attributes of each archetype. Spirit of Archetypes is a comprehensive book that fully explains this powerful new approach and introduces you to the illuminated and shadow side of each archetype. Detailed card layouts show you how to use the archetype cards. Quick Guide to the Archetypes provides a brief definition of each archetype for fast and easy reference. When youre aware of which archetypes are active in your life then you have a strategy to make the changes that empower and improve your life, Solberg explains. These energy patterns of expression or thought are actually available and active from birth. As archetypes became a vital part of her work, she made up her own set of cards to use with clients. After countless requests to make similar sets of cards available for sale, Solberg collaborated with Dorothy RittalMcIntyre, an artist whose work is beautiful and powerful. Today, The Spirit of Archetypes: Cards of Spiritual Guidance is available to clients as well as the general public through the website and PayPal. In addition, Solberg offers archetype workshops where she helps each attendee create a new story that empowers them to create their dreams and goals. It is a 3-hour interactive, experiential and fun experience for those who want to learn how to use the archetype cards for personal growth and understanding of how they are designing their life. Solberg works with clients in private individual consultations, group sessions and business consultations in Madison and Milwaukee, as well as across the country via telephone or Skype. She is also happy to be a guest speaker at group functions and is always available to share the archetypes in interviews. Call Solberg today to get started on your journey to reconnect to the passion of life and find new purpose and meaning in each day!

difference in our preparation for a healthy winter season in Wisconsin. Preparing the body means taking care of its needs, nutritionally and physically, with proper balance, exercise, rest and rejuvenation. To break the cycle of sickness antibiotics sickness antibiotics, you must STOP the insanity of simply treating symptoms while the deeper problem goes uncorrected. I know this requires your awareness of a fast-paced, out-of-balance lifestyle that actually means we might have to change. OUCH! See, you were right. Youve already known this, youve just been avoiding it. Your immune system is not only connected by the nervous system, its controlled through the nervous system. Your nervous system is the interface that allows you to appropriately adapt to your environment. Natures bugs are always around and always will be. Your immune system is subject to weakness and being thrown off track as a result of day-to-day physical, chemical and emotional stressors youre continually exposed to.
"your immune system is subject to weakness and being thrown off track as a result of day-to-day physical, chemical and emotional stressors youre continually exposed to."
antibiotics and then ear drops, only to end up being told I needed tubes put in to let the chronic infection drain. Thankfully my mom asked questions, chose to finally break the cycle and took me to her chiropractor. Im a chiropractor today because it changed my life. Adjustments restored nerve flow and allowed my immune system to develop as it is naturally supposed to. Adjustments are a foundation for a healthy, adapting body, not a cure. Its that simple. There are plenty who will argue that drugs and chemicals are always the way to go, while others will defy the mainstream and take accountability. I believe in you and your incredible healing potential. Every day I see seemingly average people healing through amazing challenges. I have the blessed opportunity to share
whats possible with my community, empowering them with solutions that strengthen their bodies. If you are faced with a health challenge that seems disempowering, look within, not for whats wrong, but for whats not allowing your innate potential to express health. Restoring the balance of power is a process requiring time combined with effort and discipline. Be prepared for you and your child having to get through a crisis without an antibiotic handcuffing the immune system. If someone has always come in to fight your battles, you never get the chance to develop your own strength. This is the same with your immune system. In the end, youll win youre worth it!
