Justin Konitzer was weightlifting when he felt a severe strain in his neck. The pain was so great that he could not hold his head up straight for months. My life was basically on hold. The Neuroscience Groups Dr. Randall Johnson, neurosurgeon, performed a neck fusion procedure that corrected Justins injury and relieved the pain. Just three months after the surgery Justin was back to lifting weights and playing with his kids. I couldnt ask for anything more. If you are suffering from neck or back pain, call us for an evaluation today.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the most recent estimates for breast cancer in the United States are for 2011 and include the following:
About 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women About 57,650 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer) About 39,520 deaths from breast cancer (women) Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Chances are, you know someone who has or had breast cancer. October has been designated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The NBCAM organizations goal is to educate and empower women to take charge of their own breast health. What does that mean for women? The ACS recommends: As early as your 20s women should practice regular selfbreast exams to identify any changes. Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam (CBE) as part of a regular exam by a health expert at least every 3 years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health expert every year. Women age 40 and older should have a screening mammogram every year and should keep on doing so for as long as they are in good health. While mammograms can miss some cancers, they are still a very good way to find breast cancer. While a breast cancer diagnosis can be a very scary thing, catching the disease early increases your odds for survival. For more information, visit www.cancer.org, or talk with your healthcare provider. This month, take a moment to consider the facts on breast cancer. Then be proactive. Its the best gift you can give yourself. Peace,
Jen

Relax: an important principle in Tai Chi chuan

By Andrew Mertens

Submitted photo, Sharon Cekada
he first and most important of the principles of the Chinese art of Tai Chi chuan is relax. This is a word that we use perhaps when we want an agitated person to calm down or to explain what we are doing on vacation or on the couch. It speaks of something being loosened, made less dense or less severe. My teacher Mike likes to use the Chinese word sung (perhaps how you could spell it if it were English). We have no English word that translates. Its described as sinking with gravity, like hair falling from an untied bun, curtains hanging from a rod or fruit falling from a tree. Relax is all of these things. When we come to the preparation stance the first

The most profound thing I have found practicing this art is that there is no end. No matter how relaxed I think I am if my teacher asks me to relax more, I can.
thing we do is apply this principle to everything we are at that moment. We relax every muscle and tendon in the body. We relax our breathing and sink into the floor. We let go of any emotional upset and quiet the mind. We just relax moreand more. I initially had a hard time with the idea that tension is a choice. I did not think that I chose my arm numbness or the pain in my shoulder. I choose to be pain free, but if I didnt choose the tension, who did? I remember reading somewhere, There is nothing wrong with your body; it is just the way you are wearing it. If tension is a choice I could choose the opposite. I could relax. I realized that I was the one leaning forward and holding up my shoulders. I began to practice relax for a few minutes every day and found that I could always relax more. My shoulders began to drop and the pain and numbness lessoned. I could see my image in the mirror changing. I began to notice that the energy I was using to hold up my shoulders could be used to do other things in my life. I became less tired, less grumpy. The most profound thing I have found practicing this art is that there is no end. No matter how relaxed I think I am if my teacher asks me to relax more, I can. When Im teaching a class and I ask my
students to relax more, I relax more. Who is the asker and who is the relaxer? I dont worry about it. I just relax more.
Walking on Thin Ice
Try this Tai Chi exercise. Stand comfortably with the weight divided evenly between your feet. Be sure to be barefoot or wearing flat shoes. Do not wear anything with a heel. Very slowly begin to sink into your right leg, bending your knee, creasing your hip joint, and dropping your lower back. Fill your right leg completely and float up your left foot. Find your balance. Step your left foot forward placing the heel on the floor with no weight. Feel into the floor as if it were thin ice. If the ice is not safe it could crack just with the weight of your foot but you are safely standing solid
in your right leg. When you can determine that you are balanced with an empty step begin to slowly shift weight into your left foot. See if you can do it in increments like 10 percent, 20 percent. When you reach the halfway point and if the ice were not safe you would be getting wet, but since it is not really thin ice keep shifting until you get all of the weight in the left foot. Sink into your left foot until you can float up your right foot and step forward empty with the heel touching first. Repeat several times. If you find this difficult do not be discouraged. I have seen people who could not do it at all have 100 percent improvement in 6 weeks of daily Tai Chi practice. I have seen people throw away their canes or walkers. You may use the wall or a chair if you find balance is a problem. You should see improvements with daily practice. The key is the first principle of Tai chi: relax. Also very helpful is the second principle: Body upright. More on this next month.

How to treat pet allergies naturally
f your dog has been diagnosed with allergies (itchy dog, chronic itching and scratching, hot spots on skin, skin problems such as canine dermatitis (flaky, itchy skin), runny eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing), and youve already done the two most important things: 1) switched to a healthy, natural dog food that doesnt contain a lot of corn, wheat or soy (common irritants to dogs), and 2) have begun supplementing your dogs diet by sprinkling Omega 3 Oil for Dogs (and cats) on his food, but your dog still has symptoms, what do you do?
Herbs to treat seasonal allergies in dogs and cats
Here are some herbs that are safe for dogs, cats and most other mammals and can be very effective at treating seasonal issues without harmful drugs or their side effects. These herbs are available in an herbal treatment for seasonal allergies in dogs and cats that is safe and easy to use with almost any mammal pet. The tincture contains all the herbs in this article and it is easy to use. (Animals Apawthecary Spring Tonic)
Dog Allergy Herb 1: Nettle (Urtica spp.) Nettle is an herbal success story with many herbalists. Many animals, as well as people, have found relief from symptoms, including seasonal symptoms, from the daily use of this herb, especially when it is begun at the earliest onset of hay fever season. One of the predominant theories of how nettle works is centered on the release of histamine. Histamine is a protein produced by the body that contributes to the bodys inflammatory responses. If too

Dog Allergy Herb 4: Licorice Root

help support and strengthen various liver functions, meaning that it helps with the bodys elimination of systemic waste that may compound the problem. Dog Allergy Herb 3: Burdock (Arctium lappa/minor) Burdock has been used since ancient times as an herb that is a safe, gentle liver tonic. In Chinese medicine it is referred to as gobo. It has long been regarded as a specific remedy for various forms of chronic dermatitis. It is thought to work by supporting the liver in the elimination of protein byproducts and other metabolic waste that may otherwise cause
(Glycyrrhiza glabra/uralensis) Licorice root may be the most broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory herb available. In addition to strong liver-support attributes, this herb contains an assortment of phytosterol constituents that may serve to supplement the bodys natural product of cortisone; a hormone that serves to further slow and regulate the bodys inflammatory response. It is also anti-tussive and an expectorant, meaning that it will help make your pets coughs and sneezes less violent and more productive. Please note that only your veterinarian can properly diagnose allergies and recommend a specific treatment plan. Please discuss these healthy and natural alternatives with your veterinarian.

Get grounded and centered with calcite

By Jane Hamilton
ainbows have always been an awe-inspiring mystery to humans. Art and religion both have lore regarding the beauty and unusual unexplainable nature of the rainbow in early civilization. In art, rainbows are shown in very colorful palettes and as a topic that inspires a peaceful, calming feeling. Religiously, rainbows have been defined as the bridge or path that connected heaven and earth; as the link between the gods and humans; and as a message from God to the Christians as a sign of peace after the great flood of Noah. Calcite, too, has beautiful rainbow colors. The colors exist both in the variety of the palettes the mineral is found in, as well as the variegated rainbows in individual specimens. Besides the visual connection

associated with rainbows, calcite also has some of the properties correlated with rainbows. As a crystal that can help us achieve inner peace, calcite grounds and centers us. It can aid one in calming fear and reducing stress. The protective shield one may feel in calcites presence enhances ones environment and it is excellent in clearing negativity in a physical space. On a spiritual note, calcite may help in astral travel and channeling as it acts to bridge this plane to the spiritual plane. Calcite may also aid one to increase their intuitive powers. It will amplify energy in a multi-directional nature, refracting it inward and then distributing the energy outward. This amplification of energy will help clear and then activate all of the chakras. In everyday living, calcites have some good general qualities. The amplification of energy lends itself well to improve learning and studying. This property will help stimulate creativity and increase imaginative powers. The enhanced ability to communicate may also aid in relationship resolution. Calcite is also available in clear specimens. Referred to as Iceland spar, it has a double

Calcite will open and balance the chakras. However, there are different colored calcites which may enhance this effort and are specific to each chakra. Here are some of the colors calcite is found in and those properties associated with each color: Green: Helps to manifest abundance and enhance ones intuitive nature. Overcomes addictions, and aids in healing joints, bones, kidney, bladder and the endocrine system. Increases success, prosperity, business and fertility in all areas (even gardening). Blue: Calms and soothes. Amplifies energy in communications and thought. Aids in channeling and increasing energy.

Fight cancer with food

By JaNelle Merry, ND
ou are what you eat and you can be healthy by eating the right foods. Certain foods and herbs are great cancer fighting agents. I could list all the active agents in the foods that make them the great cancer fighters that they are, but the purpose of this is not to give you a lesson in chemistry but to give you a shopping list. First, understand that cancer loves an acid environment so eating foods that will help alkalize your system is important. Second, you can enhance your immune system by taking digestive enzymes every time you eat. Third, drinking plenty of fresh, purified water is critical for helping the body stay balanced and release toxins. Must have foods for a healthy body include: leafy greens such

as spinach, kale, and Swiss chard; broccoli; carrots; cabbage; cauliflower; yellow, green, red, and orange peppers; tomatoes; sweet potatoes; squash; onions; olive oil; garlic; dark berries such as blueberries, cherries, blackberries, currants, and mulberries; flaxseed; garlic; legumes; grains such as spelt, quinoa, or buckwheat; turkey; salmon; and superfoods such as alfalfa, barley, spirulina and kelp. Notice that dairy, coffee, red meat and sugar are not mentioned in the above list. There are healthy substitutes that can be used such as green tea, almond or rice milk and stevia. Adding anti-cancer herbs (spices) can enhance your eating experience. Herbs such as anise, basil, capsicums (hot spicy red pepper), caraway, cloves, cumin, fennel, garlic, ginger, mustard, rosemary and turmeric should be added to your healthy diet. Two more suggestions: add a slice of lemon to your water as it has an alkalizing affect and read the book Alkalize or Die by Theodore Baroody, Jr., D.C., Ph.D., N.D., MA. Happy shopping and bon appetit!

Calcite from pg. 15
How calcite personally helped me

A few years ago, Jesse and I were at the Weis Earth Science Museums Weisnminers Geology Club monthly meeting. Jesse was giving a presentation on the power of crystals. There were a variety of folks in the crowd everyone from a toddler to a 90-year-old. And though there were many differences between us all, one thing we all had in common was our love of minerals. One topic Jesse discussed was the attachment humans have to minerals. Even the oldtimers, who mostly did not see minerals and their properties the way we do, could agree that there was something compelling about those specimens in our collections. And although it may defy logic, those specimens did have meaning in our lives. For me personally, it was about 8 years ago that I first recognized that minerals called to me. Calcite was the first mineral that I recognized I had an attachment to. There are two calcite crystals I possess (or maybe they possess me) that have had a profound effect on me. In a 2-month period I had been in two automobile accidents. Each time the police deemed the other drivers were 100 percent at fault. The first was not consequential. The second, however, was a big deal. a really, really big deal. I was given a disability rating and told I would need surgery. (With the help of a great healer, both of those diagnoses were overcome.) However, I was in pain and suffering from sleep deprivation. The calcite was my friend. The hunk I have is a pretty big piece and I would keep it close while I tried to get through that mess. Sometimes I would actually pet the specimen. The calming effect was amazing. I felt very peaceful. I could just breathe, relax and let the pain go for the moment. After 8 years I have been healed, never having the surgery the doctors said would be necessary.

have often wondered why a person does not heal after all the prayers have been said, all the ointments have been applied, all the pills and herbal tea remedies have been taken, and still theres the pain, the agony, the defeat. Why does God seemingly answer some prayers of healing and we witness a miracle, while other people (who are all created equal) still suffer, perhaps even die with prayers seemingly unanswered? Why on Gods green Earth do we see millions go hungry while others who are already obese, continuously overeat? Its been said that life isnt fair and theres no rest for the weary. Or is it something more? Whenever Ive been in a spiritual jam, I try to remember to fly above the situation as the angels do, and get their glimpse of the bigger picture. Then I have some peace and understanding of whats happening and why. My friend and author, Kathleen Jacoby, recently had some health challenges and noticed that she often berates herself for what she perceives shes doing wrong. In the midst of her latest self-critique, it dawned on her that her life is absolutely perfect exactly as it is, and that the fault does not lie in circumstances, but with her perception of these circumstances. As she shifted her attitude and saw her
body as a most incredible, intelligent, selfcorrecting universe in complete wholeness, she felt love for everything she was experiencing health-wise, rather than anger toward it. Some of the issues seemed to immediately dissolve with this new-found awareness. Then, she reported, As I look outside of myself and am discontent with current circumstances, I turn that resentment into a beam of light that leads back into the core of my being, and ask, What am I really upset about? What do I really resent about myself or fear I wont have? Where am I not giving myself enough love, respect, compassion? And beyond that, seeing that my own failings are also part of the perfection of this life script. I saw that each thing I do and dont do has a purpose! Instead of berating myself
for what Im not doing, I begin to see the opportunity in the not doing, and realize that I dont have to hold fear, or control, or need to fix things for everyone else. I see life events as being in Divine Perfection because something is working underneath it all at the soul level to grist the mill, so-to-speak wringing out limitation and replacing it with a clear view. Its like squeezing a precious drop of oil from something that takes a long time to relinquish its fragrance, but once released, it remains forever. Then I began to see the larger view of my situation. Universal timing and my timing are often at odds. But the universe is not and cannot be wrong. Everything we see is the projection of millions of particularized viewpoints, and as each of us clears ourselves of these unwanted images we

have created, the collective consciousness will begin to reflect what we all say we are looking for peace, love, and harmony. When we create that internally by accepting who we are and stopping the war we perpetrate against ourselves, or berating the situation we find ourselves in at the moment, we can create Heaven on Earth. I am certain we will someday return to the Garden, but in the meantime, the wilderness experience has its purpose. And in the meantime is the real time we are given right now our daily opportunity to express gratitude for what we do and dont have, knowing it is absolutely perfect just as it is. When the time for change is ripe, it will occur. As I practice loving instead of fearing, have gratitude instead of resentment, life takes on a whole different flavor. Fear has an odor. Love has a fragrance. I prefer the latter.

Thinking outside the box when trying to heal pets

This is the story of Mysti, a 7-year-old Golden Retriever, who was diagnosed with Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MM) in December of 2009. MM is an immune attack around the muscles of the jaw and head. It causes swelling and enlarging of these muscles causing pain and reluctance to open the mouth. In severe cases, the mouth cannot be opened even under general anesthesia. Mysti underwent a muscle biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, which came back positive. The only known and accepted treatment for this disease is very high doses of Prednisone over many months, then gradually backing down when improvement is seen. Mysti had been raised on a raw food diet and her owner was a firm believer in natural, holistic treatment to aid the body in healing. Prednisone was out
Mysti had been raised on a raw food diet and her owner was a firm believer in natural, holistic treatment to aid the body in healing. Prednisone was out of the question because of all of the severe side effects...
of the question because of all of the severe side effects, but they were faced with now putting together a protocol for dealing with this. Mystis owner works with a holistic veterinarian in Green Bay and together they researched other treatment options. Mysti started Bioreasonance Therapy which works with the frequency patterns of the body to reduce unhealthy ones and increase healthy responses to activate the animals capacity to heal and regulate itself. They were also able to locate a traditional Chinese Herbalist veterinarian near Long Island, N.Y., that specialized in formulating supplements for specific conditions, including one specifically for MM. In addition to the Biocom treatments and Chinese Herb supplements, Mystis owner treated her with therapeutic essential oils, specifically addressing the pain and inflammation and boosting the immune system. Mysti was given the oils orally in a capsule twice a day and also received Raindrop Therapy sessions. She also took several natural supplements to address each of her symptoms to help her body recover. As of this date, Mysti is happy, energetic and pain free! Was this protocol more complicated and probably more costly than putting her on large doses of Prednisone? No doubt! However, the protocol they followed helped heal and repair her body without the serious side effects of Prednisone. The moral of this story is that there are other natural, healthy options available for treatment of serious conditions if you are willing to do some research and look outside the box!

A major Omega-3 breakthrough

By Terry Lemerond
f you take fish oil, its probably not so you can consume more fat from fish or relish the taste so much that its a must for your diet. You take the oil, a gulp from a bottle or a handful of capsules, to get the Omega-3 fatty acids (Like EPA and DHA) into your body. After all, for decades, eating fatty fish or taking fish oil were the only choices we had, and the ability to digest and absorb those unique nutrients varied quite a bit. Thats finally changing with a breakthrough supplement form. The benefits of Omega-3s for heart disease, cancer, depression, inflammation, arthritis pain, and more make fish oil seem like a natural choice. But it isnt. By the time fish oil is bottled, it has been processed so much that
it bears little resemblance to the Omega-3 fatty acids you would get from eating fish. Fortunately, theres a better way to get Omega-3s in supplement form. This supplement uses a new European breakthrough in omega-3 science that has a lot of advantages over the oil-form, and is the closest thing you can get to eating salmon without eating salmon.
Bioidentical Omega-3 fatty acids
This new method uses a gentle, patented cold water and enzyme process to extract naturally occurring marine phospholipids with the omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). It creates a supplement that is much closer to nature and how people were meant to absorb and use
22
these nutrients. Because of this process, omega-3 fatty acids are retained on their natural sn-2 position, and are carried by phospholipids making them absolutely identical to the Omega-3 fatty acids in the human brain. This perfect match allows the body to absorb and use the fatty acids much more efficiently. This is the way youd get your Omega-3s by eating fish in the natural sn-2 position. Researchers have found that the Omega-3s naturally bound to these whole salmon phospholipids are up to 50 times better absorbed than fish oil.1-3
Fish oil processing changes the natural structure
Most fish oils on the other hand, are extracted from a variety of small, cold water fish that undergo a lot of processing. The cooling and pressing steps, for example, bring the raw material close to boiling and coagulate the naturally-occurring proteins in the fish. This creates its own problems, as it requires large quantities of solvents and the need to reprocess the toxic waste that this method generates. But this heat method also changes the position of the fatty acids as well. Rather than being where nature intended them, on the sn-2 position on the carrier chain, the damaging heat-and-solvent method displaces the fatty acids to the sn-1 and sn-3 positions.4,5
take a lot of fish oil just to see a benefit from 4 to 6 grams, or 10 to 12 capsules a day! Unfortunately, fish oil doesnt always sit well in peoples stomachs, so they experience gastric discomfort, bad aftertaste and fish burps. But with this new form, the recommended daily dose for healthy people is one tablet. It delivers bioidentical EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids for absorption that is far superior to fish oil, krill oil or squid oil. All without big doses or fish burps. Without a doubt, the Omega-3 fatty acids have shown remarkable benefits. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) hold cells together and protect them against invaders. EPA and DHA from fish improve heart health and blood profiles, relieve pain through anti-inflammatory action, enhance immunity, elevate mood, and alleviate the symptoms of ADHD, diabetes, skin diseases, promote brain and vision development in infants and children, and help treat Alzheimers disease and depression.6-9 So getting Omega-3s is truly essential. But its time to rethink the delivery of these nutrients. This phospholipid-bound supplemental form is the first new news in Omega-3 delivery science in a very long time. And its worth looking into!

What are the options for hair restoration?

To answer this question, we visited with a professional in the hair restoration and personal image industry, Mark P. Brettingen, owner of Changing Headlines in Appleton.
Before
he most frequently asked question is, What is the best hair restoration method? The best method might be different for different people. It depends on your degree of hair loss, your level of physical activity, the type of hairstyle you desire and other factors. Not everyone is a good candidate for every option. Since each person has different needs and expectations, it is best to get a free, no-obligation consultation. Each consultation is held in a relaxing and private office setting, with a trained and experienced hair loss professional.

Non-invasive hair restoration FAQ
Q: My hair is thinning and I dont want surgery. What can I do? A: There are many non-invasive options available to you such as the Derma Lens procedure, among others. This is a type of procedure where we can blend new hair in with your own for an identical match. That can be accomplished gradually or a finished result within a few hours.
Q: Will people be able to notice that I have done something? A: We can use a gradual procedure over many months, which will limit the chance of being noticed by friends or co-workers. Q: Im a very active person. Can I still participate in sports? A: Yes, we want you to do the things that you stopped doing because of your hair

loss, such as swimming, boating, water skiing and even riding your Harley without getting sunburn on the top of your head. Q: My father had one of those hairpieces that he took off every night. Is this the same thing? A: Absolutely not. You have options that your new hair cannot come off and it will become a part of you. You can do everything that you would with your own hair. Q: Are there any limitations on the hair style I choose, or how I can comb my hair? A: That is just one of the great things about your new hair. You can comb your hair anyway you want, even straight back. Q: What if I decide to move out of state? A: We would be happy to refer you to another Dermal Lens hair restoration affiliate in your new location, without interrupting the type and quality of service to which you have become accustomed.
Almost every person with male pattern or female pattern baldness is a candidate for hair transplantation.
Surgical hair restoration FAQ
Q: Who is a good candidate for surgical hair transplantation? A: Almost every person with male pattern or female pattern baldness is a candidate for hair transplantation; however, the patients expectations and objectives must be realistic. He or she must understand the limitations of the procedure and agree on the outcome that will take place on his or her head. The single most important factor to consider is how much hair loss will continue as the client ages. With this in mind, the doctor can plan the most natural looking hairline and shape which will maintain the most undetectable and natural hair style. Q: Will I need more than one session? A: Each patient is different depending on their goals and expectations, as well as the level case study of each candidate. It also depends on the number of grafts done in each session. Q: How many grafts will I get? A: It is very important to compare apples to apples here. One graft does not mean one hair. When our hair transplant surgeon cuts the grafts with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 hairs, depending on the areas of distribution, the average of 1,200 grafts are 4,5007,000 hairs. These grafts, well distributed, will produce a natural hairline and the desired density and coverage.

Freye named Goodwill Achiever

By Karen Kramer
ore than 50 years ago, Ruth Freye was given the choice to either babysit her colicky baby brother or pull weeds in her parents vegetable garden. She chose the weeds. At the time, Freye had no idea that her decision would launch a lifelong love of gardening that would also lead to her becoming a volunteer and educator with Goodwills Community Garden Partnership. The Goodwill program provides opportunities for diverse groups to share their experiences and knowledge with other
gardeners at a variety of community locations, while also promoting such things as self-sufficiency, food security, environmental stewardship, creation of healthy civic space and donations to food banks. In recognition of Freyes involvement with the Community Garden Partnership, Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin (NCW) named her as its Outstanding Achiever for September. For more than five years, this Menasha woman has helped gardeners at Goodwills UW Fox Community Garden site learn to
grow, think creatively and become a garden community. With Ruths common sense approach, leadership and passion, this site has been developed to showcase The Mosaic Gardens (located at the front of the garden) and other themed sites that offer visitors much to explore and enjoy, said Susan Richardson, program director for the Community Garden Partnership.

As examples, Richardson cited the Holy Botany garden (plants held sacred by many cultures); the Smell and touch the plants garden (an interactive learning site); the Guess the plants garden (a way to identify and name common Wisconsin plants); raised bed and vertical gardens; the Sally Jaeger Altekruse Memorial Garden site; and a childrens corner with sweet pea teepee and a place to play and learn. Freyes efforts have extended beyond the garden to hundreds of Fox Valley residents and gardeners as an educator, and she has been featured many times by the Good
Day Wisconsin morning television show. During the time that she has worked on behalf of the Community Garden Partnership, Freye has planted more than 100 different species of plants and written two instructional pamphlets on these unusual plants, their uses and cultural significance. As she has stated in one of her pamphlets: Plants can be a teacher, a food, a companion, a healer or a sacrament. They denote a oneness but not a sameness throughout the whole world. It is not necessary to have a common language when the use of plants is involved. Over the years, names of many plants have changed but their original use is still with us. Richardson noted that Ruth has provided visitors to the gardens with a rich and rewarding experience an experience that teaches the connection among plants, planting practices and cultures worldwide. The Community Garden Partnership is
blessed by her devotion and dedication. On a monthly basis, Goodwill selects a volunteer like Freye or a program participant for its Outstanding Achiever honor. Recipients come from one of Goodwills 23 store communities, its Menasha campus or its Ralph B. Shiner Center in Appleton. Keith Wilk, COO of Programs and Services at Goodwill, said the award recognizes the strides that individuals have made, in part, because of their involvement with programs through Goodwill. Each honoree receives a certificate of achievement and Goodwill merchandise. For more information, contact Richardson at 920.832.5119 or Susan.Richardson@ ces.uwex.edu; or Wilk at 920.968.6233 or kwilk_gw@gwicc.org.

Expert answers to your health and wellness questions

Body fat percentages, plyometrics and alcohol intake
By Karmen Nenahlo
Question: Is it beneficial to get my body fat percentage checked and, if so, what method provides the best result? Answer: Whether or not you get your body fat checked depends on how meticulous you are when it comes to your own health and wellness. Some people are perfectly content to just work out and watch what happens. Others want to track and analyze everything and, as a result, like to have a starting point for body fat, among other things. If youre in this latter group, then go ahead and get a test done. There are numerous ways to analyze your body fat percentage, from the very expensive to the ridiculously inexpensive, and the very accurate to the incredibly inaccurate. Some of the best methods include getting a DEXA scan, a Bod Pod measurement, or getting underwater weighed. However, these are the more expensive options, and require sophisticated equipment and skilled technicians. You could also try stepping on a Tanita scale, which uses something called bioelectrical impedance to determine your body fat percentage. Unfortunately, the accuracy is somewhat questionable with this method. When it comes to cost, accuracy, and practicality, you really cant go wrong with a skinfold caliper test. It takes about 5 minutes, it might cost you $10-$50 (depending on whether a consult is included or not), and its reasonably accurate. You just need to find a personal trainer, or other health professional, that has done

hundreds or even thousands of tests. And remember, the initial number isnt necessarily all that important anyway. You just need a starting pointthen, as long as that number trends down over time, thats all that really matters, right? player and someone recently recommended plyometrics to me to enhance my performance on the court. Good idea? Answer: Plyometrics involves training the neuromuscular system in order to enhance your ability to perform explosive movements. In other words, plyometric exercises are used to increase the speed and force of muscular contractions, so if youre serious about improving all facets of your game, they would be a nice addition to your current training regimen. You just need to make sure youre in good enough shape first. A good, solid fitness base is required, meaning you should be relatively strong, flexible, coordinated, and agile. The exercises tend to generate large forces thanks to the intense, repetitive movements, so the risk of injury can be high. Its best to do plyometrics on a soft surface, and with supervision, since proper technique is of prime importance. You also want to be careful about what exercises you
Question: Im a recreational basketball
select if you weigh more than 250 pounds. Lastly, its ideal if youre well-rested and injury-free before engaging in these types of workouts. Try to find a qualified trainer that can help you incorporate plyometrics into your training and, as always, make sure they have experience in this particular area.
Question: Being of college age, Im curious
about the latest guidelines when it comes to alcohol intake. Can you help me out with benefits (if there are some) and risks? Answer: Absolutely! If you decide to consume alcohol (and I assume you have since youre asking the question), the current recommendations would be no more than 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women. This is defined
as moderate consumption, though this certainly isnt the norm for college-aged folks. As youre probably aware, excessive alcohol intake can lead to a whole heap of problems including alcoholism, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides (blood fats), obesity, stroke, heart failure, and even some cancers. But heres the good news. Moderate alcohol consumption does have its health benefits as well, though this list isnt nearly as long. The potential benefits include a slight increase in HDL (good cholesterol) and some anti-clotting properties as well, which may have an effect on heart attack and stroke risk. In fact, several studies have linked alcohol to reduced mortality from heart disease, though we cant be sure that other lifestyle factors werent the primary cause. Bottom line only you can decide how much of a role alcohol plays in your life. Just be responsible, drink moderately (if at all), and dont drink and drive!

Salons help raise breast cancer awareness

Salon CTI and Day Spa, along with nine other Fox Valleyarea salons and the Salon Professional Academy, invites the public to help raise awareness of breast cancer. Visit any of the participating businesses this month and get or give a pink hair extension. The money raised will help fund research, treatments and screenings for financially needy women in the area. In October 2010, Salon CTI and Day Spa, along with five other Fox Valley-area salons, joined together for the second year to raise awareness during breast cancer month. By offering pink hair extensions for donations, selling bracelets, airbrush tattoos and pink manicures, they were able to raise $40,000. About 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Research, treatments and screenings are all important components in diagnosing and treating this disease. The money raised last year was donated to the Fox Cities Community Health Center to help screen and diagnose breast cancer in area women. Businesses interested in hosting an event to raise awareness should call Salon CTI and Day Spa at 920.731.9396 or email Terry at terry@saloncti.com.

Christine Center a sanctuary for spiritual connections

By Teresa Van Lanen
Submitted photos
tillness calls you is the opening line that the Christine Center implores. The mission of this not-for-profit center, according to its literature, is to embrace persons of all spiritual paths in a natural sanctuary for spiritual deepening and global transformation. Nestled in the woods, about one hour east of Eau Claire, is the spiritual retreat called The Christine Center. It is comprised of several acres of prairie and woodland. There are several buildings on site, rustic cottage hermitages and a larger structure with conference rooms, library, chapel, meditation area,
dining rooms and lodgings. The structures are beautiful in their simplicity. The hope of the Christine Center is that the guests will feel nourished, energized and spiritually uplifted as we seek to give each person an experience of love, respect, appreciation and acceptance by the overall atmosphere of the Center. The feeling of being embraced and supported to explore ones own commune with spirit permeates the woodwork at the Center. I have attended two retreats here this year and have found them both relaxing and exhilarating. The nurturing feeling even goes
to the wonderful meals that are prepared and served on site. They are healthy and tasty meals to satisfy all. This Center is a transformative place to participate in structured retreats or in a private retreat of your own choosing. The staff is not imposing, but is open-minded. At the dinner table many different conversations can be heard including discussions on spirituality, nature, art, music and politics -- diversity at its best. Many participants are from here in Wisconsin but other guests come form national and international locations. As a retreat participant, I found the

Random spending often leads to wasted money

By Charles Schmalz
eve all heard the line, Money doesnt buy happiness. However, wasting the money that weve worked hard to earn certainly isnt a recipe for bliss, either. If youre like many Americans, the money from your paycheck often disappears quickly and you wonder where it went. Even if youre not living paycheck to paycheck, money always seems scarce, especially these days. How many times have you asked yourself where does all the money go? Unfortunately random spending on a daily basis can eat up a large chunk of our hard earned money and leads to wasteful spending. You spend a few dollars here and a few dollars there.
Before you know it youre wondering what happened to all that money you worked so hard to earn. The credit card too often becomes the backup. We all know where that leads! A powerful solution to the problem of random spending is to create awareness. The best way to create awareness is to have a small notepad and pen on hand, and write down anytime you spend money. Make a quick note of the date, amount, and description of what you purchased (coffee, cigarettes, gas, lottery ticket, ice cream,

etc.). Sure, its a hassle, but youll be surprised what will happen by doing this for only a few short weeks. Youll become aware of spending habits and what those habits are really costing. Thinking before you spend will become a new habit. Take it one day at a time and become aware of how often your wallet is opened each day. Once youve taken the time to write down how you spend money each week, and each month, take the next step and create a spending plan, or budget. Dont let the B word scare you off. We all know that budgets dont work. Im talking about creating a spending plan thats tailored specifically for your needs and wants. Part of that plan may be to carry a specified amount of cash that can be spent on a few random items. The difference will be that you have a plan. When the designated amount is gone then the spending needs to stop. If not, youll realize theres going to be a problem meeting your needs and goals. A good solid spending plan can help your family spend money wisely and reach your goals. First, you must set up priorities (What really matters to you? Whats important? What do you want to accomplish or purchase in the future?): know your regular expenses; determine what your goals are in relation to short and long-term aims. Take a critical look at your expenses and weed out those that do not contribute toward giving you any real satisfaction. Then adjust your expenditures so you can live within your income. Include a savings program to expedite reaching your goals and building future security.

Increase your breast cancer fighting potential through wellness regimens

By Dr. David Janssen
his year marks the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). The organization supporting this established public awareness initiative has historically focused its message on early detection of breast cancer through yearly mammograms. It has also expanded its focus to include information on overall wellness and continuity of care. NBCAM provides recipes to prepare prior to surgery, the day of chemotherapy, and when symptoms of soreness arise.
While a healthy diet is important, it is only the beginning of an opportunity to begin a comprehensive wellness regime designed by a team of board-certified plastic surgeons and nurses to increase your bodys cancer-fighting potential. Today, women are choosing to enhance a healthy diet with supplements tailored to increase their bodys ability to fight off
34
disease. For breast cancer patients, a wellness regime begins with daily consumption of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) starting at the time of the pre-operative examination. CLA is a fatty acid identified in the 1970s by Dr. Michael Pariza, researcher and director of the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin. Pariza and his colleagues published studies showing that CLA interfered with the growth of cancer tumors. A number of other studies over the last two decades have further shown CLAs cancer-fighting potential. Some of these studies have concluded that CLA can suppress cancer development in animals, and in human cancer cell lines in vitro. Over the next few years, additional studies are planned to help further understand the role CLA may play in the fight against cancer. The second part of the wellness regime includes consumption of whey protein. Anti-Cancer Research conducted by Baruchel and Vaiu in the mid-1990s showed whey protein concentrate inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells at low concentrations. A recent clinical study with cancer patients showed a regression in some patients tumors when fed whey protein concentrate at 30 grams per day. The third step to the daily wellness regime is the nutraMetrix Custom Cocktail with vitamins A and D3. The D3 works synergistically with tamoxifen to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation. Breast cancer patients take 4,000 to 6,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day on an empty stomach in an isotonic solution. After six months, the doses of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin A can be reduced. These nutrients added with isotonic vitamins, minerals and the high powered antioxidant OPC3 are very important to the healing process that is needed for patients who have breast reconstruction or breast augmentation pre- and post-surgery. While success with supplements varies by patient, it can help boost your bodys ability to heal efficiently after surgery and cancer treatments. This program can also be used as a preventative wellness regime for total breast health. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon and wellness staff for more information tailored to your specific needs.
Dr. David Janssen is a board-certified plastic surgeon with Fox Valley Plastic Surgery, based in Oshkosh. The practice, co-owned by Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek, offers facial aesthetics, breast surgery, body contouring, advanced laser services, vein care, medical weight loss and MediSpa services.

Corn gluten and its effectiveness on weeds

By Troy Reissmann
ver notice those little signs that are posted on lawns after herbicides are used and think, There has to be a way to do this without using something poisonous? There is, and its not only good for your lawn, its non-toxic. It even helps the environment by taking a by-product of the milling process for corn (yes, corn!) that mills formerly dumped into landfills as useless. Nick Christians, Ph.D., a researcher at Iowa State University, discovered that corn gluten meal (also known as 60 percent protein corn gluten to the livestock industry) inhibits the germination of all sorts of weed seeds that we dont like in our lawn. Which weeds will corn gluten get rid of? Dandelions, crabgrass, creeping bentgrass, foxtail, lambs-quarters, purslane and redroot pigweed, just to name a few. At the same time, it is a ten-percent nitrogen fertilizer that lawn grasses absolutely love. Remember, it does take some time to get into the system and become effective, usually about a year or two. Once part of the soil, you can see a reduction of weeds up to 90 percent! If you choose to do it yourself, use a broadcast spreader for best results. You will need to put down about 20 pounds of product per 1,000 square feet of lawn, and do it in the spring and fall. When choosing a lawn care company, first choose a reputable
company that has a good Better Business Bureau rating. Do not go with a company that likes to spray treatments, as the spray is mainly water and doesnt do much on the lawn. You may find that actually employing a company for organic lawn care is less expensive than choosing to do it yourself. This is because of the amount of product needed to apply compared to the alternative chemical based products. Corn gluten will not kill weeds that are already established, but it will kill any weed seeds that are ready to germinate. To use it as a pre-emergent you must spread it before the weeds germinate, which means in early spring (in Wisconsin, for example, a good rule of thumb is to put it out before April 15. Earlier is fine. Snow on top of it wont hurt it, nor will cold weather). As a fertilizer, you can use corn gluten in the fall (or during the summer) just the same way you would any other lawn fertilizer, again at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. A bonus: if you overdo it, it wont burn the grass. Be careful, though. You cant plant grass seed for a few weeks after you use corn gluten (or many

types of annual or perennial seeds) because it will inhibit their germination, too. You can plant grass seed before you put out the gluten, but make sure the seed has time to germinate and establish itself before fertilizing with the corn gluten. How safe is corn-gluten meal? Currently, it is sold as feed for cattle, poultry, fish, and is the base for many dog foods. Its a by-product of the wet-milling process for corn. Its just part of the corn kernel, left over when the food-industry mills the corn for other products. Its as non-toxic as you can get, as safe as the dry food in a dogs dinner dish!

The greening of Appleton

By J.C. Paustian
s an environmentalist today, there seems to be bad news around every corner. The green tide feels like its nearly impossible to turn with state and national issues that have divided a lot of people, including families. Economic woes, debt woes and job woes encompass the headlines on a daily basis. Environmental issues get kicked to the curb; get put on the backburner; get tabled for a later date. You get the idea. However, Im here to tell you that we actually have it pretty good right here in the Appleton area. We have access to fantastically fresh, local produce and to independently-owned green retail shops and restaurants.
Fresh produce
We all have the opportunity to visit the Downtown Appleton Farm Market, the second largest farmers market in the state. It takes place every Saturday outdoors June through October, and then continues indoors November through March. There are several other Fox Valley farmers markets that also take place every week throughout the summer and into early fall. Get to know where your food comes from. Know your farmer.
Green shops
Beatnik Bettys Resale Butik, 214 E. College Ave., creates and sells clothing from recycled fabrics and buys from local artisans who have upcycled clothing and accessories. Eco Candle Co. produces earth-friendly soy candles, soaps, lotions and accessories and is located at 123 E. College Ave. Just Act Natural sells a green, healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Product categories include reusable bags and bottles, non-toxic cleaners, natural body care, recycled plastic toys and wooden toys made in the U.S., baby items, organic cotton clothing and gifts. The store is at 129 E. College Ave. Habitat for Humanitys ReStore at 3000 E. College Ave. is the areas premier new and used home improvement materials headquarters. All merchandise is at discounted prices and the sales go directly to Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity. The Free Market specializes in local, organic food.

cleaners; support sustainability programs and initiatives; and sell Fair Trade coffee. The Appleton location is at 233 E. College Ave. The Green Gecko Grocer & Deli is yet another place to grab locally-sourced meats, cheeses, produce, beer, freshly-made desserts and much more. They are inside City Center at 10 College Ave., Suite 107. Stone Cellar Brewpub, 1004 S. Olde Oneida St., has become known for locally-made beer, locally-sourced meats and vegetables and their organic salad bar. A kitchen on wheels, Kangaroostaurant, has entered the local, fresh food mix recently. Their colorful truck tools around town and parks at various locations in Appleton, at city parks and industrial parks. They also source their food from local farmers and producers. The Appleton area is also fortunate to have not one, but two natural lawn care companies: Valley Organics and Backyard Organics. Keep those lawns natural, not toxic. Theres not a lot we can control when it comes to state and national environmental policies or how other people are feeling about the economy, but we can control how we spend our dollars supporting green, local companies.
J.C. and Dianne Paustian own Just Act Natural, the Fox Valleys first all-green retail store located at 129 E. College Ave., Appleton. For more information, visit www.justactnatural.com or call 920.574.2932.

Antioxidants protect your bodys cells from free radicals. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or has exposure to environmental chemicals, tobacco smoke and radiation. So by protecting your cells, antioxidants protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. They also add flavor without the fat, salt or sugar. Since herbs and spices are basically dried fruits and vegetables, they no longer contain water making it a very concentrated form of antioxidants. So using just small amounts makes them beneficial. Cinnamon: Easy and versatile, it has one of the highest antioxidant levels found in any spice. It has a flavor most people enjoy. Sprinkle it in your oatmeal, yogurt, coffee grounds before perking, or even honey in your tea. Oregano: One teaspoon has as much antioxidant power as three cups of chopped broccoli. Add to your homemade pasta or pizza sauce, or sprinkle on salads. It also contains rosmarinic acid, which helps fight the growth of bacteria and parasites.1 Ginger: One teaspoon has similar antioxidant levels as one cup of spinach. It can be sprinkled on fresh fruit slices or stirred in yogurt. It is also wonderful in sauces and marinades. Its active ingredient, gingerol, has been associated with relieving pain and inflammation and is a natural remedy for indigestion, arthritis, nausea and migraines.1 This is what has made ginger tea so popular. Dried Red Peppers: This spice can cover a wide range of fiery flavor from mild to hot. Depending on if it is from crushed red peppers, cayenne or paprika. Capsaicin is the compound in
peppers that give them their heat. The heat increases metabolism and can also make you feel full sooner. It is great added to hummus, guacamole, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes and pizza. Rosemary: Studies show that rosemary helps reduce inflammation in the body and inflammation is a trigger and indirect risk factor for many chronic diseases.2 Try including it in meat marinades and tomato sauces. Thyme: This spice contains compounds called flavonoids that increase its antioxidant capacity and may offer anti-inflammatory and age-related benefits, such as maintaining your brains cognitive function (memory) and promoting heart health. Add some to creamy dips and over cooked vegetables, fish and stir fries. Turmeric: This is the bright yellow spice commonly found in curry powder. One teaspoon has as much antioxidants as cup of red grapes. More studies are showing its effect in safeguarding brain cells from cognitive decline. It is great added to egg salad, or chicken and tuna salads. You can also whisk it into vinaigrettes for cooked vegetables. Recipes using any and all of the spices are readily available on recipe searches on line and in many cookbooks. With each dash, spoonful and pinch of these spices, it will help boost the antioxidant power of just about everything on your plate.

Awaken to the flow of life through yoga, mantra and meditation

By Deb Sommerhalder
ur time here on earth is a journey of riding the waves of our life. Awakening to the flow of life means simply to go with the flow by having the intention to place your Self body, mind and heart in alignment with being fully present in what life brings your way. It will not always be easy, but this is where the practices of yoga, mantra and meditation can help. An awakening begins to dawn and you learn to make the waves of your life less dramatic. You begin to ride the waves of your life more gracefully and remember that your innermost nature is one of joy and contentment.
Yoga postures (asanas) are not only a means to work your outer body by building flexibility, toning and strength, but are a means to connect to your inner Self. When you challenge and break through physical barriers in your body you are also transforming your ego, which is very intense but liberating. You will go beyond the limitations of life. Mantras are a means of transformation using words, phrases and sound. The Krim Mantra calls on the Goddess Mother Kali, the Destroyer. This is a very powerful mantra and should be

practiced with awareness and intent. Calling in the energy of Kali is asking for your ego to be transformed. This mantra captures the mother in your heart. With this technique, place your right hand over the heart chakra with the first four fingers resting on the chest. Create a clockwise circular motion with the hand around your heart, creating a place for Mother Kali to enter your being through the heart chakra. Feel the rays of the sun enter the circle. Chant Om Krim 3 times while the hand circles the heart. After three rotations, place hands on knees and continue to chant the mantra. This mantra enables the goddess to surround you and create total protection. Meditation is another great tool to create harmony within your self. When you sit, dont try to stop the mind; be a witness to your own self. Then peace will come. This is a wonderful meditation from Ma Jaya:

This light will remain in your cells and keeps you centered all day.

It is she who creates the lacy clouds that are gentle and free, freeing your heart from darkness, she who whispers through the breeze of life and races with the wind to your heart is always available, she who flows like the river through your body and soul. A veil of soft light keeps your being always connected to the universal mother. She brings you her grace that takes you into your higher mind, your god mind. You are her love, and she is yours.

The effectiveness of positive expectations after cancer diagnosis

By Trish Poole
hen I was in my early 20s, I was diagnosed with lupus. I was lucky on a number of counts but especially because my doctor looked me in the eye and said, Tricia, I want you to go back to Chicago and stop stressing out so much. Enjoy yourself a bit more and the symptoms will go away. That was in the very early 1990s and information on the Internet and other sources was not as readily available as it is now so I didnt bother to look up what lupus meant. I figured that if it was important my doctor wouldve sent me for some sort of treatment or test.
That day my doctor gave me that diagnosis, he might have well as been a top notch hypnotist, also! Whether he was simply following that doctors gut instinct or whether he was trained to speak with me that way, it was very helpful and effective. I went back to Chicago and within a day or two all my symptoms had left me. It wasnt until years later that I realized how serious lupus can really be. Of course, not all situations are like mine. My doctor evaluated the circumstances and took guided
action with me with excellent results even 20 years later. But my situation is a good demonstration of the power of the mind with regard to health. Dr. Bernie Siegel was an oncologist who introduced this technique of positive expectation to the medical community. He found that if he gave his patient a diagnosis with a positive expectation, for example; Mr. Smith, you have cancer and 6 months

When a person is in a state of shock they are actually in a hypnotic state as well, so anything said to them at that moment is like a hypnotic suggestion.
from now well be sitting here having a cup of tea, smiling about how well youve done, his patient would regularly do better than other patients with the same diagnosis. It turns out that when a person is given a diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, that person goes into a state of shock. When a person is in a state of shock they are actually in a hypnotic state as well, so anything said to them at that moment is like a hypnotic suggestion. This means that the best thing to do once someone is given a diagnosis such as cancer is to follow it with positive expectations to get the best results for that person. Additionally, it has been found that using a variety of techniques to enhance the immune response can aid in positive outcomes for people experiencing cancer. It is imperative that someone fighting cancer get excellent nutrition, good sleep and manage their stress response. Doing those three things will support the neurochemical responses within the body to move more towards homeostasis. Within the National Guild of Hypnotists, there is a certification program called hypno-oncology. Hypno-oncology is not to be used as a sole treatment for cancer but as a support and complement to allopathic treatments like chemotherapy, nutritional therapy, etc. The hypno-oncology program employs hypnosis or mental focus to potentiate the effects of the chemotherapy (make
the chemotherapy more effective) while minimizing nausea. Hypnosis can be used as a pre-surgical technique to reduce the anxiety which can have a positive impact on the amount of anesthesia one needs, thereby improving the overall outcome from surgery. Doctors can enhance the patients pre-surgical hypnosis by giving the patient positive suggestions that are similar to the ones from the pre-surgical hypnosis sessions during surgery. Hypnosis can also be used during chemotherapy treatments to distract the patient and even enhance the effects of the chemo. Every persons experience is unique. And, as Dr. Bernie Siegel has said, Each patient must become the most important member of his/her medical team,.by getting actively involved in which treatments they will be receiving and how they will be done.

Harness the love of learning early

By Angela Yingling, M. Ed.
rom the moment a child is conceived they start to learn about themselves and their surroundings. This is witnessed through babies being able to hear sounds in the womb and start to differentiate between light and dark, to after being born they use their crying mechanism to say when they are hungry or cold or hot. A child goes through an amazing transformation in the early years of their life, changing from month to month and day to day so fast that sometimes you are not able to recognize them if they are not seen all the time. During this time of change, the most important part of your child is also changing rapidly, the brain. When a baby is born he or she has approximately 100 billion brain cells and 50 trillion synapses (connections), and as your

child starts to learn your child starts to build more connections. Around the age of 3 a child has twice as many connections as adults and that number can go up or down by 25 percent depending on the type of environment a child grows up in. At the age of 5, 90 percent of a childs brain connections will be made. Eventually connections that are not used start to wither away in a process called pruning with the main pruning starting around age 10. There are even some researchers that believe that the number of words that an infant hears daily is a good predictor of later success in intelligence, school success and social skills. By having your child in an enriched learning environment from the moment they are born helps build their connections for their success later in life. This is not only achieved in a daycare setting but at home, the store, at the park, or anywhere you to take your child. The single most important thing you can do is talk to your child. Talk about the weather, what you are doing at the moment, a place that you visited, how you are cooking dinner, and so forth. Your child might not understand everything you are saying in the beginning but eventually their cells will start to make connections and they will start understanding more and more. Remember your child is always watching and listening to what you are saying and doing! This was never more evident to us when the other day our 2 year old son was acting up and I told him he was not listening and he responded with I am not being obstinate! Nurture your child from the moment they are born by giving them the best early possible start in life. Children are little people that love to learn if given the chance. Harness that love of learning and show your child how much you care about their future.

got you covered

Nells Wigs owner caters to women with hair loss
By Jennifer Walla
A womans hair is her identity and when she loses it, it can have devastating effects.
No one is more familiar with that than Stacey Kolze. Each day, the owner of Nells Wigs in Green Bay meets women whove lost their hair. Whether due to the side effects of chemotherapy, heredity or some unknown cause hair loss is a very traumatic experience, she says. Your hair is your crowning glory, Kolze says. You know how you feel when you have a bad hair day? Multiply that by a thousand when its the final insult in your journey with cancer. Youre scared and tired, maybe youre feeling sick, and just not like yourself. Losing your hair, while often expected in that journey, is the icing on the cake in terms of the final injustice youre dealing with. A bright spot in that journey? If you opt to use a wig while recovering from breast cancer treatment, your options are much better than they were just 10 years ago. Todays wigs are more high quality than they used to be, whether theyre made from human hair or are synthetic. So we work with our clients to help them find the best option for them and their lifestyle. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in whatever you choose, she says.
Feeling comfortable and confident about your look begins with education. Each client receives a personal consultation in a discreet environment. A hallmark of the space (located at 930 W. Mason St.) is a large mural on the wall of a cherry blossom, which in Japanese culture symbolizes the transitory nature of life. Kolze, who has a background in theater, studied lighting design and production in college. She eventually moved into stage management, later discovering she had a knack for hair and makeup. While touring in Asia with a company, she was attracted to the Zen aesthetic the culture evoked. For the business, I wanted a very relaxing space that would allow women to feel comfortable, Kolze says. So while its a discreet environment, we encourage women to bring in friends or family members during their initial consultation. They are a great support system and can help give feedback about styles and options. Nells Wigs carries current collections of Raquel Welch, Eva Gabor, Ken Paves Hair Do inspired by Jessica Simpson, Put On Pieces and Dancing With the Stars for wigs, hair pieces and extensions. It also is the only shop in Wisconsin that previews Raquel Welch and Eva Gabors VIP collections. A variety of brushes, combs/picks, fashion scarves, bandanas, hats, caps, liners, wig stands, false eyelashes/eyebrows and adhesive/remover are available for purchase. Most wigs need to be adjusted and altered to fit a womans facial features,
personal taste, style and head size. Its not a matter of just plopping a wig on your head, Kolze says. You have to consider your lifestyle, how much maintenance you want to put in, and your budget. Wigs with a lace front, which have long been used in film and theater, look more realistic than their synthetic counterparts, which are less expensive. Some of my clients who go that route say that their doctors and nurses cant believe theyre even wearing a wig, Kolze says. The construction is that much better. But every wig company on the market has upped the ante today and things are so much better than they used to be. But thats also why wig prices have gone up. Hand knotted styles look like the hair is growing out of your scalp versus those that are machine made. You pay for a higher quality, but I think you feel more confident. Kolze, who is a licensed cosmetologist, also offers wig cleanings, styling, custom shaping/trimming, perming, color and highlights. Nells also works with those who want to donate hair, get makeup tips or have eyelash application. Eventually she would like to offer even more services. I envision a full-service salon in the future, she says. Ill add a mastectomy boutique and oncology massage therapy. Id also like to offer chemical-free services because many clients prefer a more natural approach to hair care. Non-surgical hair replacement is also in the works.

Balancing healthy lawns with healthy lifestyles

By Todd Rockweit
This months question:
A concerned individual recently contacted me with this issue. My dog lays in our yard all the time. Do I really want to expose her to this [chemical weed treatment]? I was definitely comfortable offering this individual an emphatic no. We shouldnt expose our family to any chemicals if we can avoid them. But the journey to organics is different for everyone both in pace and outcome. My journey started with inquiry. Ive always relied on unbiased research when making a decision; land and lawn care are no different. The evidence is significant as
Nathan Diegelman clarifies in his article Poison In the Grass: The Hazards and Consequences of Lawn Pesticides. Congress found that 90 percent of the pesticides on the market lack even minimal required safety screening. Of the 34 most used lawn pesticides, 33 have not been fully tested for human health hazards. If any tests are done, they are performed by the chemical manufacturers, not the EPA. According to the EPA, 95 percent of the pesticides used on residential lawns are possible or probable carcinogens.

National Cancer Institute reported children develop leukemia six times more often when pesticides are used around their homes. The American Journal of Epidemiology found that more children with brain tumors and other cancers had been exposed to insecticides than children without. National Cancer Society and other medical researchers have discovered a definite link between fatal nonHodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) and exposure to triazine herbicides (like Atrazine), phenoxyacetic herbicides (2,4-D), organophosphate insecticides (Diazinon), fungicides, and fumigants; all of which have uses as lawn chemicals. This may be an important contributing factor to the 50 percent rise in NHL over the past 10 years in the American population. Studies of farmers who once used these pesticides found alarmingly high numbers of NHL, especially in those who didnt wear protective clothing. This latest finding also proves the theory that most danger from pesticides comes through dermal absorption, not ingestion. University of Iowa study of golf course superintendents found abnormally high rates of death due to cancer of the brain, large intestine, and prostate. Other experts are beginning to link golfers, and non-golfers who live near fairways, with these same problems.
According to the EPA, 95 percent of the pesticides used on residential lawns are possible or probable carcinogens.
On a personal note, my dog, Gruzin, recently passed away from cancer. Was his passing due in part to my traditional chemical lawn care used before moving to the organic way? There is no way to tell for sure, but I will certainly do everything I can to prevent this from happening again. The factual and anecdotal research is enough for me, but I respect any individuals right to choose. There is a reason why the chemical fertilizer industry has to post yards with warning after treatments; there is a reason why parts of the East and West coasts have banned synthetic fertilizers; there is a reason why the President appointed a panel to research the link between cancer and fertilizers (use link to view the full report.), and there is a reason why our guts are telling us these chemicals cant be good. Trust your gut and the evidence that seems to be mounting against the chemical fertilizer industry. Many respond to the research and their instincts by going completely organic. Home owners want a weed-free lawn, and most of our customers prefer to achieve this the organic way, with organic soil amendments and compost teas. Treating weeds organically does require patience, however, which is why some customers will choose one or two synthetic weed treatments if their unwanted plants have gotten out of control and the lawn perhaps requires a rescue. We step in then with an organic application, a follow up which lessens the effects of the chemicals they put on the soil. This approach offers customers a reasonable compromise on the road to a more sustainable and healthy future.
Ultimately, we are committed to assisting our customers in their move toward organics and respect each persons journey. If you have a question regarding organic land care, feel free to email or call us. Who knows, your question might end up in next months Q&A article.

The sense (and cents) about scents

By Jane Hestnes, LMT, APP
s we button-up our homes for the season, we create the ideal setting for some good old fashioned aromatherapy. And the longer were in this ideal setting, the more aware we become of the need for some refreshing aromas. (Nothing puts a grimace on the face quicker than an unhappy olfactory.) Some may view aromatherapy as a lot of fluff with little substance, but that fluff is a science which propagates billions of dollars in revenue for a variety of industries. Among household and personal cleaning products alone, our noses have more influential buying power than we may realize. There are a variety of products available and an endless list of scents to choose from solely for the purpose of enhancing the bouquet of our living space. Among all of those options, there is one thats often overlooked and so worth considering essential oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and each plant provides its own impressive list of benefits and uses. For example, lemongrass oil is proving notable results in ongoing research for cancer prevention. Marjoram, the very same herb found in most kitchen cupboards, is a great muscle relaxer (in oil form) due to its vasodilator properties. Setting medicinal uses aside, essential oils provide clean-burning scents. Cheaper-grade candles achieve the same effect, but these also put waxy oil residues, soot and perfumy chemicals into the air and lungs. So be cautious when making your aromatherapy purchases. Take time to read the label. Fragrance oil is by no means the same as essential oil. Fragrance oils may have the scent youre looking for, but they also have more mystery additives than you bargained for. Aromatically releasing the essence of natures bounty is as easy as flipping a switch or striking a match. Diffusers are wonderful contraptions designed for this very purpose. Electric diffusers
and simmering pots are easy enough to fill up, plug in and flip the switch. But dont forget to shut them off! If you prefer the aesthetics of candlelight (while saving a watt or two) tea-lite diffusers are the route to go. The reservoir typically holds enough water to outlast the burn-time of the candle and the candle is selfextinguishing (unlike electric diffusers, which may scorch if left on when the reservoir dries up). Regardless of which type of diffuser you choose, once the diffusers reservoir is filled with water, adding just a few drops of essential oil releases those natural scents into your home. Citrus oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit, etc.) are typically among the lesser expensive oils and deliver a crisp, refreshing scent. (Theyre also great in the kitchen for cutting through filmy grease build-up.) These oils blend well with herb, spice, floral and resin (tree bark) oils. Seasonal combinations such as orange and cinnamon in the cooler months can subtly enhance holiday get-togethers or lend to the coziness of quiet times. In early spring when cabin fever sets in, citrus, jasmine and spearmint, or citrus and any of the floral and mint oils, are a welcome combination. This type of blend is light and invigorating, just what one might need to help shake off those winter blues.

Youll always find experienced, personalized care for your chronic pain symptoms.
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and each plant provides its own impressive list of benefits and uses. For example, lemongrass oil is proving notable results in ongoing research for cancer prevention.
From calming and soothing to uplifting and invigorating, aromas can subtly yet effectively transform your personal environment. So even with windows locked down and household odors locked in, you can breathe easy knowing that something scentsational is just a few drops away.

Begin prepping now for spring lawn and garden

By Sarah Everson
s temperatures drop and leaves change color, it is time to start thinking about prepping your lawn and gardens for the winter and next spring. What are you to do with the fallen leaves? Is it too late to start a compost pile? Does compost work over the winter? When should you apply natural fertilizers such as compost or manure? These are a few of the many things to think about as summer comes to a close. Leaves can be used in many different ways. They can be collected and saved for future composting. They can cover up a current compost pile for the winter. Leaves should not be placed directly on
58
Fall is the perfect time to collect browns for composting.

a garden, however. Because leaves are a carbon source and require nitrogen input as they decompose, they will take nitrogen from the garden soil. Essentially the leaves rob the garden soil of its nitrogen when they are removed in the spring. An acceptable alternative is to rototil the leaves into the soil immediately so come spring all the nutrients from leaf matter decomposition remain in the garden. Untended leaves contribute to green algae blooms when they get into the storm drains as part of street and lawn runoff (www. renewourwaters.org). Mulching the leaves into the grass is a popular and effective habit to maximize replenishment of soil nutrients while reducing harmful runoff. Mulching is as simple as making several passes over the lawn with your lawn mower will chop up the leaves and integrate the particles into the grass. After a winter of decomposition, the leaf pieces help your spring grass grow green and strong. Dont forget to remove leaves from gutters and storm sewer outlets, too. These can be added to your compost pile or mowed into the lawn. Fall is the perfect time to collect browns for composting. The most abundant brown during the autumn is leaf material. Other compostable brown materials are wood chips, paper and cardboard. Browns such as leaves are easy to store and help control odor in a compost pile. Leaves can be stored in garbage cans or bags or simply piled beside your compost heap for easy access. Remember to keep a ratio of 2 to 3 parts browns to 1 part greens in the compost pile. Greens include grass clippings and food scraps such as egg shells, banana peels, coffee grounds and vegetable scraps. Browns break down slowly counteracting the rapid break down of greens. Bulkier, drier browns also help to keep air in the pile keeping the process of digestion aerobic. Anaerobic digestion, on the other hand, creates odor problems. As environmental temperatures drop, the composting process will slow down. Piles smaller than 3 x 3 x 3 (a cubic yard) are most affected by cooler weather. But never fear! Compost material can still be added to piles even if they are frozen. Once spring returns, the pile will heat up again and material added during the winter will begin composting. Fall is the perfect time to apply nutrient-rich natural fertilizers to yards and gardens. While manure-free compost is safe to apply any time of the year, manure should only be spread in the drier fall season because it contains potentially harmful bacteria that may contaminate garden produce if used during the growing season (http://hort.uwex. edu/articles/safely-using-manure-garden). Applying natural fertilizers such as manure or compost before the snow falls allows nutrients to work into the ground. Once the frost clears in the spring, the added nutrients are readily available for growing plants to use.

How seniors can save money

By Desiree Janelle
any restaurants, both local and national, offer senior discounts such as a free cup of morning coffee, 2 for 1 menu specials, early-bird discounts, special senior menus or a percentage off the total meal. It is important to ask about senior discounts before ordering because the discounts are not always advertised. Often restaurant chain employees are trained not to suggest the discounts or senior menus because of age sensitivity. Therefore most restaurants will not apply the available senior discounts unless a request is made.

r. William J. Twohig, IBDM, DDS, lives by two simple rules: First, do no harm. Second, think globally, not locally. That simply means that I will take as many measures available to protect and improve my clients health, and I always see the big picture, Twohig says. I believe my clients and I share the responsibility to reach their health goals. Twohigs approach to dentistry is both holistic and biological. A biological approach is a blend of clinical practice,
sound scientific knowledge and the traditions of natural healing. Biological practitioners like Twohig try to find the systemic causes of illness. He favors the least invasive, least traumatic and least toxic means of diagnosis and treatment to support the bodys natural ability to heal itself. The relationship between your oral health and physical health is most often overlooked and conditions go undiagnosed. But everything that happens in your mouth affects your body and vice versa, he explains. Your teeth and gums can induce
illness in the rest of your body if not properly treated, so lets prevent disease not just treat the symptoms of an illness. Twohig Dental offers such services as oxygen/ozone treatments, safe mercury removal, non-surgical periodontal therapy, advanced esthetic and cosmetic dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry for adults and children and in office or at home bleaching. Dentures, partials, crowns and bridges, mercury-free composite fillings, re-care with a highly trained hygienist including some of the most advanced treatments

There were many things in the field of dentistry that I questioned all those years ago, including the use of fluoride and amalgam (mercury) fillings, he says. For more than 15 years I have not used amalgam fillings and did not place many before that.
for periodontal disease, xylitol education, nutritional and medication consultations, and oral cancer screening are also options. Twohig, DDS, graduated from Marquette University Dental School in 1976. He has continued his education, later earning a degree in naturopathic medicine as well as an advanced degree in Integrative Biological Dental Medicine. There were many things in the field of dentistry that I questioned all those years ago, including the use of fluoride and amalgam (mercury) fillings, he says. For more than 15 years I have not used amalgam fillings and did not place many before that. My training has provided me the opportunity to offer the most advanced treatment for safe mercury removal, treatment that extends above the standard of care prescribed by the powers that be. We also have removed all fluoride treatments due to lack of evidence that this chemical has more benefit than is a health hazard.

aving recently fallen off my bike, in my driveway, questions arose as to where my mind was. Planning the weekend perhaps? The grocery list? To grill dinner or go out to eat? One thing was evident. I was not paying attention to what I was doing. At least not until I hit the cement. My mind was not in the present. Sometimes we need a wake-up call to remind us to stop being so wrapped up in whats coming next and just focus on and enjoy the present moment. Meditation is a wonderful tool and practice that can help you stay grounded in the present. One way to be present is to concentrate on your breath. Take a few moments right now, to just close your eyes (but finish reading the instructions first!) and pay close attention to what you are feeling as your breath enters and exits your body. Are you breathing from your chest, does the breath feel high or close to your throat? Or are you able to feel the breath all the way down into your stomach? Through the regular practice of meditation, a person can learn how to breathe properly. This can help immensely in stressful situations where it is very common to hold ones breath or breathe very shallow. Have you ever been nervous and taken a couple deep breaths to calm yourself? Anyone who took speech classes or participated in competitions in high school can probably remember being nervous and having a coach or teacher tell them to take a couple deep breaths. There is something to this advice. According to the The Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide Web site, deep breathing can help to lower and even stabilize blood pressure as well as slow the heartbeat. Committing to even just 5 to 10 minutes a day of deep breathing can help you feel more relaxed and less stressed. Meditation allows you to concentrate on your breathing. A common practice when meditating and you notice youve started thinking about something, is concentrating on your breath to bring you back to centeredness and a feeling of being grounded. Breathing exercises help you to concentrate on what is happening
here and now, bringing you into the present moment. As you become more familiar with using your breath to center yourself in meditation, there comes a point when you will feel comfortable incorporating this into your daily life. When experiencing stress, frustration or anger, you can take a few deep breaths and really feel your breath coming into as well as leaving your body. This triggers your mind to be in the present, which can help you adjust your attitude with the current situation. Meditation offers many lessons in its practice that have enormous benefits in daily life. Concepts such as acceptance, gratitude, being present, and kindness are wonderful to experience in meditation. There are many different styles of meditation you can learn to enhance your ability to feel these emotions. One common benefit many people feel is when these abilities translate into their daily life to help them be, in general, more at ease. The ancient, tried and true practice of meditation has helped people around the world commit to themselves. It also helps people to become comfortable spending time alone, in silence. You may find that as your meditation practice grows and matures, you crave the solitude and peace of mind brought by meditation. Your inward journey may just be starting, but the outward results youll experience could be amazing!

Cuong Nhu focuses on a general philosophy of self-discipline, respect for self and others, humility, patience, being honest and having high moral character.
The founder of Cuong Nhu, OSensei Ngo Dong, developed it into a complete martial arts that encourages students to bring more meaning to their lives by improving their personalities and develop themselves physically so they may positively contribute to society. OSensei said Cuong Nhu is the Art of Love by having an open heart, open mind and open arms. He believed in lifting the spirits of the people up. Philosophy is a strong part of Cuong Nhu. We focus on a general philosophy of self-discipline, respect for self and others, humility, patience, being honest and having high moral character. The martial arts philosophy that we teach focuses on how to judge a situation, when and when not to fight, how to hit, where to hit, what to hit with, types of weapons to defend with, dealing with multiple attackers, etc. Being safe in class and having fun are also important aspects of our curriculum. For example, when we workout, including during sparring drills and sparring, we
emphasize safety by using light contact, communication, having the right attitude especially while sparring. We also focus on learning from each other rather than competing with each other. Many people say they feel more confident, more fit, gain valuable self-defense skills and have a lot of positive experiences with Cuong Nhu. Members are from all over the United States, including international members in Germany and France. Without philosophy and mental maturity, a martial artist is just a trained street fighter. - Ngo Dong

Try a facial mask for a beautiful complexion this season

By Caitlin Brotz
s the days grow shorter, the nights get colder and trees shed their leaves, people can still look forward to bobbing for apples, costumes and sweet treats to help usher in the winter season. Halloween is fast approaching. Kids are picking out their costumes and parents are buying candy and decorating their houses with ghoulish creatures and cobwebs. If your skin is starting to feel a bit ghoulish, too, its time to give a little TLC to your face. And what better way to usher in the holiday season than to try out a mask. Facial masks can do wonders for your skin and give you the complexion you want for the holidays. With the changing of the seasons, your skin will change as well. Just as your body needs different clothing to protect it against the changing weather, your skin needs a different skin care regime to properly protect it from the elements. By adding a facial mask application once a week, you will deep clean pores, help skin retain its natural pH balance, and stay moisturized in the drying winter weather. Contrary to popular belief, facial masks are more than just silly tricks that women do in order to try to get their beauty rest. Facial masks can be soothing or energizing, and the actions and rituals often involved with applying a weekly facial mask can be an effective stress reliever. Most masks are both moisturizing and deep cleaning. This allows the pores in the face to be cleansed deeply, which gets rid of trapped dirt and oily build up. Additionally, masks help buff off the dull and lackluster top layer of dead skin cells. Once the dead skin cells have been removed, your skin will look tighter and more brilliant. The use of a weekly facial mask could also reduce the look of fine lines and small wrinkles. Most masks are going to be thick like clay and in fact, many masks are clay based. Clay is a very beneficial beauty trick. Rhassoul clay is one of the best cosmetic clays. It is a very fine ancient clay that comes from deep below the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It has been used for more than 1,400 years cosmetically. Rhassoul clay has an extraordinary power of absorption that makes it more effective than other clays for cleansing, detoxifying and general skin treatments. This clay contains higher percentages of silica and magnesium along with potassium and calcium than other clays. These elements aid the detoxification process, which can improve

Rhassoul clay...can help to restore skin elasticity, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and prevent skin drying.
your skins appearance and eliminate premature aging signs. Due to the high concentration of essential minerals, Rhassoul clay can prevent the development of skin disease. When you age, your body isnt able to produce a sufficient amount of minerals and you need to find other sources to get these essential minerals. The depletion of trace minerals can result in brittle nails, lackluster hair and fragile bones. Rhassoul clay helps to replenish the depleted minerals. When Rhassoul clay is used as a mask it can help to restore skin elasticity, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and prevent skin drying. It also reduces flakiness and dryness while improving clarity, elasticity and texture. The Rhassoul clay mask will help to eliminate excess oil, dead skin cells, sebum and dirt. It will also leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturized. And since it has antimicrobial properties, this clay is perfect if you have skin blemishes. Ubtan is another facial mask to try, although it is not clay. Ubtan is a creamy delight for your skin and its name is derived from the Hindi name for beauty mask. Ubtan is a very old recipe for a facial or body mask, which uses turmeric and chickpea flower. Ubtan usually contains other ingredients such as ground nuts or lentils, Ayurvedic spices, cinnamon, mustard seed, sandalwood, flowers, cream, and nut pastes (such as almond or cashew). Ubtan is a powerful exfoliating treatment that stimulates the underlying tissues of the skin. It is used in India as a beautification ritual before marriage. The treatment serves as a soap-free, antiseptic cleanser, it increases circulation to the skin and helps heal damaged skin. Additionally, it helps reduce the occurrence of blackheads and pimples. Ubtan can be used daily to cleanse and exfoliate sensitive skin and skin affected by eczema and psoriasis. Masks should be applied to a freshly cleaned face that has been rinsed with warm water. This will allow the pores to open and help it work. When you put your mask on, feel free to lie down and relax. You can play music, read a book or watch your favorite TV show. Most masks should be applied for 15-20 minutes before being washed off. Finally, when it is time to rinse the mask, do so in cold water. This will help close the pores, protecting them against oil and dirt, and also energize your face. When you decide to use a weekly facial mask routine, you are most certain to feel the good effects of it later down the road. You can keep your face looking healthy and your complexion having a brilliant glow. And when you are done with your facial mask you wont want to hide your radiance behind a Halloween mask. Enjoy bobbing for apples, trick-or-treating and carving your jacko-lanterns. And, of course, your beautiful complexion.

Big program helps Parkinsons patients voice and speech

By Kimberly Karrmann, PT
ccording to the Parkinsons Disease Foundation, as many as 1 million Americans live with the disease. This is more than the number of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrigs disease combined. Patients living with Parkinsons deal with various symptoms such as impaired balance, tremor, slowness, stiffness, muffled and softened voice, depression, mood and memory problems, sleeping problems and fatigue. Because of the combination of these symptoms, Parkinsons patients struggle with movement, shuffle their steps or appear stooped over when walking or standing. A physical therapy/exercise program dubbed the Big program was developed and is used worldwide, teaching Parkinsons patients to use exaggerated body movements to help stop the negative
changes that happen in ones body. Big patients meet with their physical therapist for one hour, four times a week for 16 visits. Through the program, therapists teach the patients to move at a high intensity, increase the way they move and their range of motion. Often compared to accelerated tai chi, the Big program is an adaptation of the Lee Silverman Voice Training (LSVT) LOUD method, which was created to help improve Parkinsons patients voice and speech. The program includes repetitive, exaggerated movements to increase dopamine production in the brain and recalibrate muscle function. It requires large amplitude and high-energy movement, and patients

are expected to do these exercises twice a day for the rest of their lives. When patients are able to think big, they no longer feel internally quiet or small. Although not every Parkinsons patient is a good candidate for the program, those who are eligible have a faster gait, bigger steps, better balance, improved trunk control and flexibility, and an increased range of motion in joints. The Big program creates a new set point for the Parkinsons patients and enables them to walk with a more normal stride using these techniques. The end goal is to give patients new ways to do the simple things in life theyve always done, and with fewer restrictions.
Kimberly Karrmann, PT, is an associate practitioner at Neuroscience Group. Neuroscience Group offers the Big program, where physical therapists work with patients to help them recognize what is normal and abnormal movement and then by repetition, ingrains these large amplitude movements to become automatic ways of moving.

Demystifying the process of Rolfing Structural Integration

By Victoria L. Huss
olfing Structural Integration is a transformative bodywork and somatic education system designed to align and balance the body. By addressing and releasing restrictions within connective tissue called fascia, Rolfing SI encourages the body to heal itself. Because the road to a more flexible, mobile, painfree existence is actually a holistic process and not a magic pill or quick fix, a bit of mystery enshrouds the work. People seek Rolfing Structural Integration (SI) for varying reasons. Some want to find relief from chronic pain or increase their flexibility and mobility. Some want better posture. Some want to deepen a
spiritual or movement practice while others want to heighten bodily awareness. And then there are those who feel very stuck in their lives something is begging for change but they do not know quite where to begin. For whatever the reason that people seek Rolfing SI, the desire for transformation is a common thread. Many Rolfers will help potential clients determine if Rolfing SI is right for them by offering a complimentary consultation. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss personal goals, review body history, clarify expectations and answer any questions. If a client decides to proceed, the Rolfer and the client will set an intention

for the work. Some clients know right away that they want to systematically unclutter their bodies and clear body history, so they decide to commit to ten or more sessions while others just want to dip their toes into the pond and commit to a single session. Once the initial consultation is complete, the Rolfing SI process which actually began the moment the client contacted the Rolfer advances to the actual bodywork session. Rolfing SI sessions begin with a brief check-in and assessment of a clients structure and function. This usually involves breathing, lifting arms, doing knee bends, walking or other movements. This assessment clarifies goals, marks progress and helps to plan subsequent sessions. The client then lies on a padded table or sits on an adjustable bench while the Rolfer uses her hands, arms and bodyweight to put slow, sustained pressure in certain directions on the tissue of the clients arms, legs, front and back. Directional pressure helps to reposition fascia, take slack out of an area, or release restriction. Throughout a Rolfing SI session, the client is very much an active participant in the process. For instance, while working on the shoulder, the Rolfer may encourage the client to breathe into the sides of the body or to stretch the arm overhead. A Rolfer may also use slow guided-awareness work to facilitate more efficient and aligned movement or focus on better breathing. A client is strongly encouraged to be present at all times during a session while at no time is this client asked to go beyond his or her level of comfort. A Rolfer who feels that her client is checking out or bracing against a particular stroke speed or depth of pressure will adjust her approach to meet the needs of the client.
Slowly and systematically, the Rolfer works with the clients nervous system to allow the body to repattern itself at a pace that is effective and comfortable. This coordinated effort encourages reeducation and reprogramming of the bodys movement patterns. After the session, the client is asked to be present and aware of his or her body and to respond to any needs as they arise. Drinking plenty of water, going for a walk, or taking a warm bath is recommended. To promote and anchor new changes from the session, the client is often given homework in the form of movement explorations or encouraged to journal about any awarenesses or realizations that may have surfaced. The client then leaves the session integrated and prepared to explore a world of new possibilities in moving, standing and being!

Is your calcium giving you osteoporosis?

By Megan Kerkhoff, CHC, AADP
hats the first thing that comes to mind when you think of healthy bones? Not surprisingly, most would say calcium. The label on your favorite cereal now reads more calcium for healthy bones! and nearly everything from orange juice to cookies is now fortified with calcium. Antacids are even marketed for their bone-building calcium. Many doctors instruct their female patients to take supplemental calcium daily. So if were a nation of calcium-lovers, why do we have some of the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world (about 30 million Americans)? Factors like inactivity and
genetics play a part in the development of this silent killer, but shockingly, the most overlooked factor is too much calcium! Healthy bone consists of a dozen different vitamins and minerals like potassium and chromium, and also need cofactors like essential fatty acids and Vitamin D for their assimilation. The problem lies in that the very foods people consume most often to get their calcium are often severely lacking in these equally important minerals. Between calcium supplements, fortified processed foods and a diet high in pasteurized dairy
and low in whole foods, our bodies are dangerously out of balance. Lets look at some examples:

Just like human breast milk, raw cow milk is rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes and probiotics. However, the pasteurization and homogenization processes destroy nearly all of them, leaving behind large amounts of calcium with inadequate amounts of the essential vitamins and minerals necessary to promote proper balance and absorption in the body. The inferior synthetic Vitamins A and D that are sometimes added afterwards do little to help. Interestingly, the countries that consume the most milk (USA, Australia, Switzerland and the UK) have the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world. The countries that consume very little milk (China, Poland and Japan) have the lowest rates of the disease.

An ideal bone-strengthening food, hazelnuts contain a nearly perfect balance of 22 essential vitamins and minerals. These nuts are higher in calcium than almost any other food, with an ideal 1:1 ratio of calcium/ magnesium. While they do not contain Vitamin D, they supply the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids necessary to utilize Vitamin D from the sun and to absorb and transport the calcium just as nature intended.
The countries that consume the most milk (USA, Australia, Switzerland and the UK) have the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world.
What happens biologically when there is imbalance?
heartbeat; prevention of breast and colon cancer, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis; thyroid function and the immune system. Other nutrients, like magnesium and Vitamin K, are responsible for transportation of calcium. When these nutrients are absent, calcium is unable to be properly carried to the bones and teeth. It instead lodges itself in the soft tissues, such as the arteries, joints, and skin. The hardening (calcification) of arteries is known as arteriosclerosis and is a leading cause of high blood pressure and eventually stroke/cardiac death in America. People as young as their 20s have painful calcium deposits surgically removed from their joint and skin tissue. Research has also shown that magnesium deficiency will cause calcium to be misdirected into kidney stones. In a world overrun by Got Milk ads, our bone health inevitably depends upon educating ourselves. When we ignore the hype and advertisements and instead create a nutritionally rich and balanced
environment in our bodies, we will have strong, durable bones for years to come! Recommended reading: The Calcium Lie: What Your Doctor Doesnt Know Could Kill You, Robert Thompson, MD; www.realmilk.com; The Weston A. Price Foundation, www.westonaprice.org.

In order to absorb calcium, we first must have our gatekeeper, Vitamin D. Vitamin D is unusable until it is activated first by the liver, then by the kidneys. Only then can it allow calcium to pass from the intestines into our bloodstream to be used by the body. When too much calcium is consumed, our bodies will intelligently stop the 2-step activation process of Vitamin D, allowing the excess calcium to pass through unabsorbed. This protective act, however, leaves our bodies with no Vitamin D until our calcium consumption is lowered. In men, the prostate is then left vulnerable, as Vitamin D serves as its main protector. This explains why the men who consume 2-3 servings of pasteurized dairy per day have a 34 percent increased risk of prostate cancer. Vitamin D is necessary for the development of bones and teeth; regulating

How expanding consciousness affects your wellbeing

By Bob Reber
hat is consciousness and how can it affect our health and wellness at all levels of our being? In search of the answer, I had the opportunity to have a conversation about consciousness with Paul Rademacher, the executive director of the Monroe Institute. The Monroe Institute is dedicated to the exploration of and research in human consciousness. Rademacher began our conversation by stating, There is a global awakening of humanity that is taking place in our world. There is something happening from an evolutionary aspect in the world that has everything to do with human consciousness; and there are
a number of aspects to this evolution. Humanity has come through at a time where, through western culture, we have developed the left side of the brain (the logical, linear side) and have reached the limit of that development, he said. This can be seen throughout our society in the structures we have built to support and encourage the development of the left brain and are now seeing the wear and tear on these structures as we exceed the capacity of left brain development. The societal hallmark of this overdevelopment of the left brain is the unrestrained individuality with no connection to each other or the world around us. The next step in this evolution is to bring together the left

(logical, linear) and right (creative, intuitive) sides of our brains with a synergy that develops between them and without dominance by either of them. Another aspect to this evolution of human consciousness is for us to understand that the physical reality is not the only reality to explore. The physical can light up with mystical magical light that most do not recognize, yet there are just as magical illuminations of dimensionality that can be explored as well. When we recognize the capacity of human perception we should explore those other perceptions as well. It is this exploration that holds the key to the future of human consciousness and the direction in which it will evolve next.

Non-profit 501(c)3
But what exactly is human consciousness?
This is the fundamental question of our time, Rademacher continued. There are two levels that we need to examine. The first is the sentient consciousness. This is the idea that if something has the ability to feel, then it has a level of consciousness. The second level is when the entity (individual) becomes aware that they are aware; and it is this second level that has captured the imagination of the scientific community and is now being researched.
But how does this apply to our daily lives?
Most people spend large portions of their day living in the first level of consciousness. They are having sensory experiences but not always aware that they are having them, he stated. Its when the individual wakes up and says, Im aware that Im aware and they enter the second level of consciousness. This is what scientists are now calling the bing. When this sudden awareness of being aware, this bing occurs, there is a change in the brains activity. Gamma synchronizing takes place and large areas of the brain (in both hemispheres) begin to activate simultaneously and the person begins using more of their brains capacity. Studies of experienced meditators (including Tibetan monks) have shown that they experience this Gamma synchronizing at higher level than the general population not only while meditating, but throughout their daily activities. This means that training in meditation and mindfulness can be traced in the brain and can make permanent changes (or shifts) in the brain and our level of consciousness. This dramatically increases the potential for people to become aware of not only with the outside dimension (sensory), but also the internal dimensions (non-physical) that exist. If youve lived most of your life only exploring the 3-dimensional world, there are boundaries and limits to your exploration. Once considered that you are more than your physical body, 87

Antioxidants our bodys free radical scavengers

By Tony Bednarowski
ost of you have heard the word antioxidant before. Increasingly, were seeing label claims of foods being rich in antioxidants. Youve even probably read about antioxidants and their importance in preventing cancer and many other chronic diseases. So what exactly are antioxidants, how do they help promote good health and how can we make sure we are getting our healthy dose? To answer those questions, you first need to understand a little about free radicals. Free radicals are actually atoms or groups of atoms having an odd or unpaired number of electrons that form on the interaction of oxygen with certain molecules creating what we call oxidization. Once formed, they begin a chain reaction and, being highly reactive, react with important cellular components such as cell membrane or DNA and can cause immense damage. This can cause cells to function poorly or even die. This is where our friends the antioxidants come in. An antioxidant is a compound that can neutralize free radicals by donating

an electron to the free radical, preventing the electron theft that can cascade into cell damage. Fortunately, the body can boost its supply of antioxidants with substances found in food. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta carotene, alpha-lipoid acid, carotenoids and flavonoids are some of the best known and widely available antioxidants found in food. Phytochemicals such as lycopene found in tomatoes and watermelon, lutein in dark green vegetables, tannins in tea, and lignans in flax seed, oatmeal and barley, are also antioxidants. Some minerals such as copper, zinc, manganese and selenium, though commonly referred to as antioxidants, do not have antioxidant activity themselves, but are critical to the activity of antioxidant enzymes. I recommend a diet that is rich in whole foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, berries, leafy greens, whole grains, nuts, seeds, herbs and fish. A healthy, well balanced diet rich in these foods is the absolute best way to take advantage of getting the antioxidant nutrient protection

Understanding the ties that bind

By Joan M. Ek
ach and every one of us has the right to be free to live the life of our choosing. Thats a pretty strong statement, given all that we are responsible for . Or is it? The first step to freeing yourself to live the life of your dreams is to take responsibility for all aspects of your life and allowing others to do the same with theirs. Finding and maintaining your integrity is of prime concern. How do you maintain your integrity? By becoming very clear about who you are, what you value and whether your behaviors support who you are and what you value. Realizing that the only control you can exert is over yourself and your way of being, you can focus inward and align yourself with your Highest Self. Putting forth the effort and doing the work is one of lifes most rewarding (and humbling!) experiences. Many of the worlds oldest and most enduring philosophies and spiritual beliefs focus on freeing oneself of worldly attachments in order to have peace of mind. How do you move that theoretical concept into something that you can work with in your everyday life? To begin with, theres a great assessment tool that Coach U provides for work with clients. Take the assessment yourself and see where you may be able to release some of your attachments on your way to building a life where youre free to choose!

I smoke more than five cigarettes per week. I drink more than five alcoholic beverages per week. I have more than one caffeinated beverage per day. My thoughts often revolve around sex and having sex. I critique my appearance in the mirror more than four times per day. I gamble more than once per month or lose more than 10 percent of my take-home pay. I use cocaine, dope, other drugs more than once per month. I virtually always get my way. I must be in a relationship to feel great. I usually put myself and my needs last. I suffer or tolerate far too much. I barely pay my bills and often pay them late. I go shopping more than four hours per week. I attend more than one workshop or personal growth seminar per month. I sleep more than nine hours per night. I am often late and/or rushed. I try to manage the impressions other people have of me. I eat sugar (cake, candy bars, drinks) more than four times per week. I often think about food and my next meal. I work more than 45 hours per week. I have to be the best at everything I do. I use adrenaline to get the job done or to meet deadlines. I over-promise or dont keep my word. I am always busy.

When you release from your attachments and become more in alignment with your Highest Self, you are free to place those things in your life that give your life true meaning. You are also able to express more clearly who you are and take an active part in life. When you do, you inspire others to do the same. We become truly helpful in the world by taking responsibility for our own lives, becoming courageous role models and practicing self-discipline. When doing so, we inspire others to do the same and follow their own highest road or pathway. We all become truly free.

Nutritionists are important health care providers

By Kim Neher, MS
ith a great emphasis being placed today on the importance of the food that we take into our bodies, it is not surprising that there is a greater demand for knowledge when it comes to what we eat. There are a couple of different occupations wherein people design specific diets suited to meet the needs of specific individuals in order to remain healthy. Two of those occupations are nutritionist and dietician. Both groups of individuals can be found practicing privately or publicly, devoting their time to nutritional science and the use of nutrients to prevent, cure, or alleviate different symptoms exhibited by the human body. Many people use the terms nutritionist and dietician interchangeably, but in fact there are differences between the two. Nutritionists are individuals interested in nutrition education and health promotion, and have the option of completing bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in nutrition programs which have no American Dietetic Association (ADA) affiliation. These individuals function independently of the ADA and disseminate nutrition information through methods such as consultation, research, and teaching. Did you know that the ADA lists among its corporate sponsors soft drink giants Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, cereal manufacturers General Mills and Kelloggs, candy makers Mars and Unilever, the multinational corporation that owns many of the worlds consumer product brands in foods and beverages? Nutritionists work with peoples health on an individual basis, and follow no vague nutritional guidelines as they work to get to the root of the problem and treat the person, not the symptoms. There are a variety of patient scenarios that a nutritionist is able to educate and counsel. First, there are patients in need of alleviating health conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, glucose control, migraines, mild depression and irritable bowel disorders, to name a few. Here, a nutritionist would educate on dietary and supplement therapy as a way to alleviate their
82
symptoms and wean them off of prescription medications (when the patient and their primary care provider consider appropriate) and instead utilize natural options. Second, there are those looking to feel better health-wise, but are more focused on getting themselves to their ideal healthy weight. With these patients, a nutritionist would perform an individualized body composition analysis which provides the patient with a snapshot of what their body is composed of (i.e., fat, muscle, water inside and outside of cells). The body composition analysis also provides them with their accurate body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR calories burned at rest), and daily energy expenditure (DEE- calories currently consuming daily). All these measures may be a rude awakening for some, but this gives the nutritionist a starting point to put together a customized weight loss roadmap for their body and nobody elses. Tailoring their food and beverage preferences is also important to this customized wellness plan. A patient needs guidelines that they can carry with them the rest of their life! No guidelines for a quick fix or predetermined pyramid of food choices approach. Retesting body composition after a few months is also provided as the patient will need to adjust their daily calorie intake as needed and also monitor their fat loss. Lastly, there are also patients who have a mix of both health conditions they have been struggling with for a long time but also cant seem to lose that excess weight that has caught up with them. Here a nutritionist would put all the above mentioned practices into play, but would also educate and encourage the patient to look into food sensitivity testing. This is completely different than having a food allergy that you live with the rest of your life. Food sensitivities cause chronic issues that do not kill the patient, but make them feel miserable and hold onto weight. The 87 great thing about determining food sensitivities is that no

f you want authentic Asian cuisine, but a visit to Asia isnt an option, make GingeRootz in Appleton your next destination. Sisters and co-owners Doris and Alice Ng never fail to amaze with one of the most delicious and heart healthy menus in the Fox Cities. Walk in the doors to GingeRootz, 2920 N. Ballard Road, and youll instantly feel welcomed. A contemporary, yet warm environment is the perfect backdrop to the experience, whether youre enjoying a drink at the bar (with complementary appetizers), or you opt to dine in. The restaurants upscale ambiance is like something youd find in a big city, and the menu is not the typical greasy Chinese food you find at other places. In fact, GingeRootz offers many vegetarian options for health-conscious consumers. Over the years, the menu has been re-vamped to offer Asian-inspired recipes from around the world. Recently a highly anticipated sushi menu was introduced. It includes nigiri (hand-pressed seafood or fish) over rice, sashimi, traditional maki, and six vegetarian roll options. On a recent visit, our diner opted to start her meal with a freshly prepared Singapore summer roll (not fried) and a delicious and filling miso soup, a vegetable-based soup which includes tofu, seaweed and scallions. For her entre, she chose the Customize-a-Bowl dinner option. Choosing one of 6 available noodle options, add a sauce, vegetables and protein. The extensive
84
menu also includes generous poultry, seafood, noodles and rice, meat and vegetable dishes. Each is served with white rice, although brown rice, chicken, beef or pork fried rice can be substituted for an additional charge. GingeRootz offers CHIP (Coronary Health Improvement Project) dishes along with many gluten-free options. It also offers the most delicious Asian menu options including everything from traditional dishes, such as General Tsos chicken, Tangerine chicken and Pad Thai, to more adventurous fares like salmon in black bean sauce and ginger fried rice. One of the most popular dishes on the menu is the crystal shrimp, a lightly breaded jumbo shrimp meal served with a sweet white sauce and tossed with sesame. Although this is not a CHIP-approved dish, it is worth any guilt you may feel from eating it, one diner recently said. There is something for anyone and for whatever mood you may be in at GingeRootz. Theres a full lunch menu any time of day. A back room for private parties that seats up to 40 people is also available. Be sure to visit on Thursdays for the spa happy hour or Mondays for 50 percent off bottles of wine. They offer different happy hour specials every day of the week. Check them out online at www.gingerootz. com for specials and a full menu or call 920.738.9688. Catering is also available. GingeRootz hours: Sun-Thu 11-9:30 p.m., Fri & Sat 11-10 p.m.
Put your garden to bed

By Mark Konlock
ho doesnt like curling up under the sheets on a chilly fall morning? When the temperatures dip, its time to start thinking about tucking your garden in for the winter as well. There are a number of tasks to complete before you relax by your fireplace to watch the Packers. To cut back or not to cut back that is the question. Some gardeners like to cut back the foliage and spent flowers of perennials in order to have their garden tidy for the winter and not have to worry about getting into soggy spring planting beds. Some like to leave the stems and flowers up for insect habitat, bird food, to catch snow for insulating the soil and for something besides snow to look at in the winter. No matter what your choice, its a good idea to remove diseased and insect ridden plant parts and dispose of them so they dont cause problems next year. Mulch marginally hardy roses such as hybrid teas, floribundas and grandifloras with two or more feet of wood chips after the ground freezes. At the Garden, we pile the chips on top of and among the canes. Usually this ends up occurring around Thanksgiving. Plant bulbs. Add some spring color to your garden by planting spring blooming bulbs. Youll have something to dream
about and monitor as the weather warms up in the spring. Attend the class at the Garden on October 5th to get some bulb planning tips and design inspiration. Complete these tasks and youll be able to pull up your own covers and hit the snooze button, knowing all your planting beds are ready for the winter. Sweet dreams!

How to cope with stress at the office
he workers of the world are working more. So says an annual study of employee benefit trends from MetLife. In 2010, 40 percent of employees admitted their workload had increased compared with the previous year. While there are many reasons that can account for a heavier workload at the office, heavy layoffs in countries across the globe has, in many instances, left those who werent laid off with extra work. And companies might be surprised to know just how much this approach isnt working. The MetLife study also found that 68 percent of employees surveyed reported that the quality of their work had suffered and that fear of losing their jobs played a significant role in how well they did their jobs. While employees might not be able to quell their fears of one day being laid off, there are things they can do to reduce the stress that often accompanies such fears. Stress is a part of most professions and can even be a good motivator. However, when stress is prolonged or excessive, the results can be very unhealthy. Men and women with high stress levels are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and cardiovascular disease. When faced with prolonged or excessive stress at the office, men and women can take the following approaches to avoid succumbing to stress.
Determine what is causing the stress.
Stress triggers vary depending on the individual, so men and women who are coping with excessive stress should write down
86
anything that causes them a negative response, whether that response is physical, emotional or mental. After a week, sit down and look at the various things that triggered these negative responses. Choose one and work to resolve it. Determine if there is a way this trigger can be avoided. Do this with each trigger one by one. It might not be possible to successfully address each trigger, but its worth the try and it is likely that certain triggers can be successfully avoided. Manage time effectively. One of the problems with an increased workload is the time in the day to complete that work does not simultaneously increase. This reality makes it easy to become overwhelmed with stress. But a few time management techniques can help. Prioritize certain tasks, ensuring projects that are time-sensitive get done ahead of those that arent. When setting a schedule for work, be realistic. If a schedule isnt realistic, that will only cause more stress. Maintain a personal life. Effectively managing stress at work involves having a personal life away from the office. All work and no play is a recipe for stress. No matter how big a workload awaits you at the office, be sure to make time for enjoyable activities away from work. Spend time with friends and family, plan a weekend getaway or simply relax at home. Such time, even
if its not as often as you might like, makes dealing with stress at the office that much easier to handle. Remain physically active. Exercise is a great remedy for stress. In fact, the American Psychological Association notes that studies have suggested physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than sedentary people. While research is ongoing, some researchers feel exercise enhances the bodys ability to respond to stress. In addition, exercise seems to give the body practice at dealing with stress. While exercising, the bodys physiological systems are forced to communicate with one another. These same systems must also communicate with one another when responding to stress. Regular exercise helps the body communicate more efficiently, something that helps when the time comes to respond to stress. Stress at the office is likely always going to be a concern for working men and women. However, there are ways to effectively cope with stress no matter how daunting a workload might be.

two people are the same, and once they get their results, they simply avoid those foods for a period of 3-6 months and rotate their daily foods with the assistance from the nutritionist. This is done through a simple blood test that can tell you which foods many of which may be healthy choices are making you unhealthy! Having a customized road map to wellness is so helpful in our busy lives. So many people say, I wish someone would just tell me what to eat, so they can feel better, lose weight and avoid dietary mistakes. Well, a nutritionist can tell you exactly what to eat! Meeting with a nutritionist is well worth ones time. Get yourself the individualized attention you and your family deserve!
the boundaries are removed and your world is expanded dramatically. This awareness alone has an immediate impact on your sense of self, self-identity, meaning, purpose and sense of well-being. We now know there are physiological changes in the brain and we can change the structure of the brain through mindfulness, meditation and inner exploration. Yet, there are other long-term effects of expanding our conscious awareness that we have been discovering at the Monroe Institute. These are:
A sense of guidance
This is a deep-seated knowing that you are not stumbling through life alone and that there is a meaning and purpose you can begin to integrate into your lifes experiences.

The demonstration of multiple intelligences
If you have a sense of being more than your physical body, your fear of death takes on a different perspective along with the trials, difficulties and problems of this life. Because of this greater perspective, all the events of life become less threatening allowing you to be more playful.
Compassion for ones self and others
Anticipation of and tolerance for liminal states
Liminal states are in-between states where change is taking place in a persons life. It is the period when chaos precedes the transition or is a part of transition. Often it is the time in which the old has passed away and the new hasnt yet emerged.
When entering into or walking a mystical path in life, the strict idea of individuality breaks down and we see the interconnectedness we have with all living things.
