letterfrom theeditorJennifer [email protected]

Confession: I like to have a tan.

Now, I realize the stigma attached to tanning is akin to admitting you smoke, but hear me out. Im no tanorexic. Im religious about applying sunscreen and I try not to overdo being out in the sun for long periods of time. Still, tans do happen and, like many people, I feel I look better with a little color. We all have our weaknesses. But after talking to Dr. Victoria Negrete this month for our cover feature, I am resolving to be even more sun smart. Skin cancer cases are on the increase and while survival rates also increase when the skin cancer is detected early, I dont want to be another statistic. Another part of it is, frankly, vanity. At my age, theres no reason to tempt fate in terms of wrinkles, sun spots and the like. Be sure to read our feature article and all the great sun-smart tips Dr. Negrete has to offer. Theyre easy to do and they could save your life. Of course, there are tons of other great articles in this months issue of Natures Pathways: Think your dog or cat can communicate with humans? Then check out Average Janes recounting of the exchange between her dogs and a respected animal communicator. Do you equate childhood obesity with child abuse? If you see a child whos severely overweight, does it anger you? Make you sad? Make you blame the childs parents for supporting unhealthy eating habits and an inactive lifestyle? Or is it none of your business? Its a compelling subject that Tony Bednarowski addresses this month. Let us know what you think. Do you have arthritis? Even if you dont, you probably know someone whos affected by it. May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, as designated by The Arthritis Foundation, the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the

more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. Contributors Lani Herner and Jane Hestness offer their perspectives on the subject. These are just a handful of the many articles that we have for you this month. Happy reading!

Understanding the voice insideBy Trish Poole What is the little voice inside? Is it intuition? Your spirit guide or guardian angel? Gods voice? Perhaps its all of that. It is definitely instinctual and more perceptive than our regular conscious, logical and thinking mind. As we enter into times of stress and trouble (Egypt and the Mideast uprisings, domestic political issues, Japans tsunami and nuclear crisis, potential spread of radiation, 2012) its a good time to listen to the inner voice for it always guides you to the highest expression of your life. Einstein commented on intuition and the matters of heart, God and intuition frequently. For example: The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. The only real, valuable thing is intuition. Indeed, it is not intellect, (book knowledge and empiricism), but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his real purpose in this life... It can take some time to get good at understanding the little voice inside; especially if youve been through any circumstance that somehow broke your trust with your little inner voice. But you know that the little inner voice is so doggone smart! Its the one that says, Take your umbrella its going to rain, when the morning sky is clear and sure enough later in the day it is raining. The voice that tells you, Call your friend shed really like to hear from you today and you call her and find out she has been struggling with some issue and is so happy to hear from you. Its the same one that sometimes will send you to take a new way home and you end up avoiding a traffic jam. So the inner voice guides from a place of love, peace and wellbeing which is directly opposite the voice of fear (which we all have as well). Understanding the little voice inside is much about trust, trusting that illogical prompting. Each time you do trust that little

voice and the result is positive it strengthens your ability to hear it. Sometimes we might ignore that little voice, even when the promptings are very strong. If we do, and there is a negative consequence, it can be very motivating to listen more carefully. And sometimes we have to forgive ourselves for not listening to earlier promptings from the inner voice in order for the messages to become clear once again. Some activities that can strengthen a more conscious connection with the inner voice are meditation, spending time in nature, journaling, yoga, guided meditation, etc. That little voice works hard but has so much fun! One time my little inner voice told me to go grocery shopping at a store I seldom go to. I fought it, but why? I said, Why go to that grocery store?! Its farther away than my regular one. Cant I just go to the one that is close and easy? As you can imagine, my little voice was insistent, so I went to the grocery store I was directed to. When I arrived, I got a happy surprise. While walking down an aisle, I ran into an old friend who was in town for a short time. This friend had wanted to get in touch with

me but didnt think itd be ok to call on such short notice, especially since he planned to leave again soon. That little voice solved the problem for both of us; like a spontaneous adventure and treasure hunt, getting me there serendipitously so I could connect with my friend. And my friend and I are both better for it! I think its fair to say that if the inner voice could explain its job to us it would sound something like this: It is impossible to put me in a box, so do not attempt it. Let me grow and become all I am meant to be. My mission is to insure you fulfill your purpose, that you as a soul thrives and completes all your soul contracts. Its a hard job, you see, getting you to pay attention to me. I help you in the small things and I help you with the big things. You are so easily distracted, not just by outside goings-on but also by your multitude of inane thoughts. I am here for you to hear me. So you can act upon my wisdom. Take some time to hear me. Listen. I will give you insights and intuitions to facilitate the joy in your life. If you are working on strengthening your connection with your inner voice, I

recommend keeping a journal of all your intuitive hits (i.e., when you listened and the little voice guided you correctly). Be sure to date when the hits occurred. This running journal of intuitive hits becomes like an intuitive muscle, getting stronger and stronger as you recognize and exercise it. Also, it is great to reflect back on the journal when you feel disconnected to the little voice. It reminds you of just how well guided you are. It would be great if our little voice could tell us all things and help us to avoid painful situations but sometimes its job is to simply give us a mental heads up as to an upcoming event. Life is life, with all the ups and downs of a roller coaster ride. These experiences ideally help us get closer to being all that we can be as a soul. So whether the intuitive promptings come from angels or some beautiful soul quality within you, it is there to help and guide you in the big and the small things of life.Patricia Trish Poole, CH, EFT-CC, has been providing hypnosis and energy healing private sessions and classes for 13 years.

Are your pets flea treatments safe for the family?

M

By Vicki Rabe Harrison ost of us believe that commercially-available pesticides, such as those found in pet products like flea and tick powders and flea collars, are tightly regulated by the government and safe. In fact, they are neither. According to a report published by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an environmental organization that is calling for the government to completely ban the use of many chemicals that are used in flea control products, pets, children and

adults are all at risk of becoming poisoned from the types of pesticides found in common store bought and veterinary-approved flea control products. It is believed the young children, who touch and play with pets treated with these chemicals are at the greatest risk of damage to their health as a result of the use of these flea control products. Cats are also at special risk of serious side effects, including convulsions and even death, from some chemicals in many flea and tick treatments. Flea collars seem harmless enough, but it has been reported that: According to the EPA, toddlers exposed to pets wearing flea collars containing a chemical called dichlorvos would be exposed to 21 times the safe level just from inhalation of the insecticide emitted from the collar. Adults exposed to the same product would experience exposures ten times greater than safe levels. The EPA found no uses of flea collars

Toddlers exposures to naled were calculated to be as much as ten times more than EPAs safe level. EPA estimates that a toddler exposed to a dog wearing dog flea collars containing chlorpyrifos could get more than seven times the level it considers to be safe merely from hugging or petting their dog. Toddlers who pet a large dog the day of its phosmet (a tick/ flea dipping treatment) dipping and then put their fingers in their mouths will receive more than 500 times the safe level of this chemical, according to EPA estimates. EPA finds that toddlers exposed to medium- or large-sized dogs that have been sprayed or dusted with tetrachlorvinphos products could face exposures nearly twice as high as EPAs safe level. EPA determines that powdering or dipping a single pet with tetrachlorvinphos just twice a year would, over the course of a lifetime, pose a risk of cancer to the person dipping the pet nearly six

to seven times higher than acceptable EPA levels. Dipping or powdering multiple pets, or doing so more frequently, would raise cancer risks even higher. You dont have to expose your family to these frightening chemicals. Investigate the convenient, effective, affordable and most importantly, safe flea and tick spray that are available.

Gentleness for personal and professional success

By Jennifer Culver As a personal mantra, I spell gentle with a j as J-e-n-t-l-e. Its a personal reminder, based on my name and my coaching practice, to be Jentle with myself and others: family, friends, clients, strangers, nature, political figures, etc. Being Jentle can bring you the same effectiveness, if not more so, in personal and professional success, than its opposite. Additionally, the word success is open for individual interpretation; we each have our own definition of success and its often directly connected with our internal radar our compass. This internal directional is easily influenced by external factors and vice versa. Ive learned through trial and error, corporate responsibilities, personal sacrifices, and eventually (and repeatedly) learning to let go that I am most at peace with myself and others when I take a Jentle approach to life and success. It encapsulates intuition, spirituality, happiness, love and joy as my compass. Its less about personal recognition, the Thata girl! and proverbial pats on the back. Its

Hostile work environments have key performance indicators that call for action. But, every organization and person can benefit from a Jentle existence.more about doing the right thing for the betterment of the organization, universe and self. You can still have triggers and agitated states, but overall you can be kind and tender. This approach increases your effectiveness and success personally and professionally. In my corporate days, I was easily swayed and led by my and others egos. My Ah-ha! day came when my Jentle mind and body could no longer live together with my egoic mind and body. Intuitively, I was led to follow the Jentle mind and body. Today, I again step into a corporate capacity as an independent professional who coaches managers within organizations. My approach isnt much different than years earlier, but as a certified professional coach with a business process background and specialty in spirituality and holistic care, Im more organic and Jentle with my clients and myself. I am a goodwill ambassador and motivator, and both my clients and I benefit from this Jentle approach. Hostile work environments have key performance indicators that call for action. But, every organization and person can benefit from a Jentle existence.

Key role models who made a difference in my personal and professional experiences encouraged me, empowered me and cared about my success as much as, if not more than, their own. Those are vital ingredients in a successful coaching/mentoring/leadership recipe. People and organizations grow through innovation, which begins with the seedlings of organizational philosophy and mission, positive and effective communication, personnel development and trust, and organizational structure. By fertilizing and watering the seeds regularly, and providing the warming sunshine (a.k.a. Jentle coaching/leadership) the garden is likely to be abundant and prosperous. Weeds interrupt flow and growth, and occasionally need to be removed (destructive employees and/or business partners) to make room for the garden to blossom into an abundant harvest. Consider where less-desirable plants may be transplanted, either within or outside the current environment, to improve the likelihood of their personal and professional success and happiness. Definition of gentle: soft and mild; not harsh, stern, nor severe. Go in peace to love and serve yourself and your organization in a Jentle manner.

A talk with intuitive healer, Mary LelleInterview conducted by Nancy Freier Following her life-long path of listening to her inner voice, Mary Lelle has become a Transformational Intuitive Energy Healer. She reports helping facilitate remarkable healings in people and also in animals. Her story is an inspiration and I hope you will enjoy this conversation she and I had recently. For more information, please visit www.MaryLelle.com or e-mail: [email protected]. Nancy: How did you become interested in healing work? Mary: When I was about 5 years old I heard voices. Whenever I was asked what I was going to do for my work as an adult, I heard, You will heal the world with love. People and animals, including injured wild ones always seem to gravitate toward me. Once when I was at a garage sale I heard, Help me! There was a bird at my feet a grackle with an injured eye that let me pick it up. Over time, there were many injured gophers, birds and mice. N: Thats amazing! Growing up with this intuitive ability, did you ever think it odd? M: At first it felt natural, but when Id share things with my family, like what my dog Penny said, theyd tease me. I knew then that not everyone could hear these voices, so I kept it to myself. That was a

very sad and confusing time for me for many years. I eventually shut it off in order to survive. I mean, I could even hear and feel peoples thoughts and emotions. After I had shut off my gift, for years I had depression and manifested a lot of illnesses. There were times I couldnt get out of bed. My cat, Brianna, would scream at me and knock things off my headboard onto my head to get me up. N: Ive always felt that our animals are like angels on Earth to help us heal and to teach us love. Your story proves that. Can you describe the energy work you do? M: I call it Transformational Intuitive Energy Healing. Ive learned many modalities and I use whichever one I am guided to at the time. Beyond this, though, because of all the illnesses I used to experience, and then healed myself from them, I have a very deep belief system that we are healthy at our core. When I am with clients, I look beyond Nancy Freier, their symptoms and see them in their healed Intuitive Feng Shui state. I dont try to make anyone well, I see Consultant who they really are and draw them toward themselves. N: Thats true healing... A Course In Miracles in a nutshell. What miracles have you seen happen? M: One of my clients was a woman in a nursing home. Shed been incontinent for 25 years; had a very deep and painful pressure sore that was not healing, she had a drop foot, and she had injured her knee 35 years earlier which had been extremely swollen since. I worked with her seven times. Her incontinence went away, her knee went backwww.naturespathwayswi.com

to its normal size, her drop foot improved dramatically and her pressure sore completely healed. She was able to leave the nursing home. I also worked with a dog that wasnt able to walk because of a progressive neurological disease. After three sessions, he was walking again. Another dog did not want to be petted. He would shy away when someone reached for him. During his session, I saw little circleshaped objects under his skin that disappeared. Later, when talking with his owner, she told me he had been shot with a BB gun! While the BBs remained in him, the emotional charge left and he now loves to be petted! A few diabetic clients have been able to decrease their insulin significantly. One gentleman is about to go off his insulin completely. A lot of my clients have been to doctors (or vets), who say theres no hope, but I believe there always is. Everything is made of energy: you, me, the trees, Fido. Illness or injury has a lower energy or vibration. Healing energy has a higher vibration. Something of a lower vibration cannot live in a higher vibrational environment. N: Youre speaking my language! In feng shui, we also understand that everything is energy. The work I do involves moving the energy through the environment to create change and healing for the inhabitants of the space. M: I worked with a woman with fibromyalgia who was in pain. After one session, her pain was gone, but it returned later. So, part of my job is to help people shift their patterns of thought that created the illness/pain in the first place. Thats where true healing happens.

Sometimes I move the energy. Sometimes I simply let it flow and let it do the work. I believe that this energy has its own intelligence. Our higher selves, angels, guides know what to do. In a nutshell, our bodies naturally want to be in a state of health. N: In closing, do the animals have a message for us? M: They want us to slow down and live in the moment to follow our bliss, as Author Joseph Campbell said. N: Thank you, I really appreciate your healing work.

Average Jane meets with an animal communicatorBecause I had a traditional upbringing, I am often challenged to remain open-minded about things. Needless to say, the possibility that humans can truly communicate with animals was never something that I gave much thought. But, as an animal lover, Ive always wondered whether it was possible. What would my own dogs and cats say to me if they could? I was talking with Sandy White, the owner of Botanical Indulgence someday so I had to correct Louis on that thinking. Louis then in Neenah, who convinced me to contact Asia Voight to find out. asked questions about our yard.

Ingredients that sooth your gutBy Terry Lemerond If youve noticed that your stomach and intestines sometimes called the gut arent working right, you know how serious it can be. Problems with digestive function can manifest themselves in very unpleasant ways; fatigue, anemia, ulcers, gastritis, bloating, nausea, inflammatory bowel conditions, and even allergies and autoimmune diseases. Fortunately, there are natural ingredients that can help. relieving common digestive issues such as heartburn and indigestion. However, many people have been put off by the licorice taste of DGL in the past. And while DGL is a great ingredient, the chewable form requires a lot to be effective. But theres good news. A better extract (in much smaller amounts) is available in a capsule form. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled test, individuals with dyspepsia (upset stomach or indigestion) received 75 mg or 150 mg of an encapsulated DGL twice daily. At 15 days and at 30 days, participants in both DGL groups showed significantly decreased symptoms, including reduced heartburn, early satiety, regurgitation, nausea, and bloating. Look for a DGL extract standardized to contain 3.5 percent glabridin, with greater than 10 percent total flavonoids per dose. With the right extract in capsule form, you should do fine with the 300 mg suggested daily serving just like the clinical research.

An unexpected form of DGL

Extracts of licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial power, and reduce inflammation. Most of the licorice extracts sold as supplements have the glycyrrhizinic acid removed, because it can raise blood pressure. Called deglycyrrhizinated licorice, it is commonly known as DGL and sold as a chewable tablet. But most importantly, DGL is known for healing ulcers and

Balancing good bacteria probiotics make a difference

Many people dont get the probiotics they need from diet alone, or are ingesting a lot of sugary flavored yogurt just to get a very small probiotic reward. Getting these beneficial bacteria in supplemental form is a much better bet for beneficial results. In the digestive system, probiotics stop the growth of pathogenic bacteria, release short-chain fatty acids that balance pH and limit the production of probiotic harming proteins, and as they ferment fiber ingredients, they create butyric acid, which helps strengthens gastric mucosa the lining of the stomach and intestines. The best success comes from combinations of probiotic species and strains. So, getting a variety of well-tested probiotics, like Lactobacillus acidophilus, a fairly common probiotic with decades of research supporting its digestive benefits, and Bifidobacterium longum, bifidum, and lactis, is a good bet to include with any regimen. Refresh your probiotic intake often and combine it with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that act as a food for the beneficial bacteria to help them grow and colonize faster, and perform more vigorously. There are some lifestyle tips that can help. First, consider keeping a food journal to note each instance of symptoms. Youre likely to see some patterns in food or behavior that add up to digestive discomfort and stress. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Sodas, coffee and tea can make your emotions feel revved up and begin the spiral of anxiety

that can lead to IBS symptoms. Alcohol, considered to have a calming influence, can actually cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Avoid wheat (and other grains), chocolate, and dairy products. Any of these (or a combination) can cause reactions that make symptoms more likely. There is some relationship between symptoms of people with Celiac disease, who cannot digest gluten, (and have to avoid, wheat, rye, barley) and symptoms of IBS. Try to find effective ways of dealing with stress. If you can, get regular exercise. Even a walk around the block at lunchtime or during a break can make you feel much more grounded. If anxiety seems insurmountable, please consider discussing it with a professional who can help you work through tough situations more productively. Not only can it lessen symptoms, but youll be able to live a fuller, more vibrant life. You can have a life that feels like you and not digestive disorders are in charge. Consider these natural gut-soothing ingredients along with lifestyle changes that give you a better feeling of digestive ease with much less worry.Terry Lemerond has over 40 years of experience in the health food industry.

Hair transplantation a permanent solution to hair lossBy Mark P. Brettingen In previous articles, I have talked about the many options available for those of us in search of a solution for thinning hair. Thinning hair affects the majority of us at some point in our lives some sooner than later and can bring with it psychological discomfort and stress. It is human nature that we all want to feel and look our best and hair (or lack thereof) plays an

integral component in that equation. Another option to non-surgical hair replacement (custom designed hairpieces, hair grafts, and wigs) is surgical hair restoration. What exactly is surgical hair replacement? Surgical procedures are more commonly known as hair transplantation. Hair is actually re-located on the scalp or transplanted to other areas of the head. When an individual loses hair on the top and crown of the head from male or female pattern (genetic) hair loss, the hair that is moved to other areas of the scalp is genetically programmed to be with us forever. Therefore, surgical hair transplantation utilizes hair from the back and sides or scalp and is re-located to the top and crown of the head where more hair is desired. The transplanted hair will continue to grow for a lifetime. The good news is that surgical hair restoration is permanent and the new hair will be with you for life. The bad news is it is permanent and therefore it needs to be performed by a physician who not only specializes in hair transplantation, but also has a keen understanding of proper

hairline placement and an artistic ability in positioning the new hair grafts. Changing Headlines is affiliated with an elite hair restoration facility, where the physician has performed more than 15,000 surgical hair restoration procedures and personally trained other internationally known hair transplant surgeons. A hair transplant is similar to going to a dentist in terms of discomfort. You are awake during the entire procedure, which usually lasts between 4 and 6 hours depending upon the number of hair grafts moved. Not everyone is a good candidate for surgical hair restoration. It depends upon the extent of the hair loss, the density of hair on the sides and back of the scalp, and also the end-result expectations. As with many things in life, surgical hair restoration has evolved to a level making it a terrific solution for many with a desire for additional, fuller hair.If you or someone you know has questions or concerns regarding hair restoration, please call Mark P. Brettingen at 920.731.7780 for a private, complimentary consultation or visit www.changingheadlines.com.

Ignorance is the ultimate disabilityBy Troy Reissmann The rate of autism in America is on the rise. The latest research shows that 1.1 percent (or 1 out of 91 children) born today will be diagnosed with some form of autism by age 3. This rate has doubled since 2003. It affects boys four times more than girls. This is a wide spectrum disorder, and affects children and adults in a variety of ways. It is a disorder that affects the central nervous system and causes many types of behavior

problems and issues. Im not a doctor and do not pretend to know everything about autism. I am a parent of a 17-year-old autistic child. My son, Grayson, was diagnosed with severe autism around his third birthday. At that time we didnt have a clue what this was. We

thought he may have become deaf, because he seemed to suddenly stop understanding, or hearing, what we were saying. I say suddenly because up until that time everything was completely normal. When the diagnosis came, autism only affected about 1 in every 15,000 children.

Grayson is a great kid. He was the first child enrolled in the First Step Autism program in southern Wisconsin. He has attended two other schools and currently is at Winneconne High School. His teacher is a saint. (Gov. Scott Walker needs to spend a day with her, but Im not touching that topic.) Grayson has had his behavior issues, but has coped, as have we as parents. People stare at Gray. He makes quite a bit of noise, which we call humming. He does make eye contact, however, and has learned to speak better. He is a very handsome boy (takes after his mom, of course.) About a decade ago, we had an issue in our neighborhood involving our son and a couple of very ignorant neighbors. This isolated incident led to a very horrible situation in our once quiet subdivision. These people simply do not understand autism, how it affects the child or the family. They have been relentless, even going to town hall and fighting a sign that went up in the neighborhood that alerts

visitors that an autistic child lives in the area. That sign, by the way, is the only one of its kind in Wisconsin and we need more. Around Christmas, one of the neighbors even stole the sign! While I hope these types of situations are rare, they happen. Grayson looks like a

Fourteen years ago, autism was not very well known. If people stared because a child was doing something out of the ordinary, it was understandable. It is not understandable today. It is ignorant, rude, and just plain mean. If a

sign alerting you to an autistic child in the vicinity bothers you, then guess what? You have the problem. There is no known cause for autism, but much speculation. I believe it is a combination of things, including the use of chemicals on our lawns and in our food. This is why I started my company, Valley Organics. There is no cure for autism. For now, we all need to empathize with the people it affects, including families and caregivers. Where we used to look away when someone said or did something rude because of the behaviors of autism, we now need to speak up. Autism is a terrible affliction that is getting worse by the day. Ignorant people, like the few in my neighborhood, add to the problem. Autism isnt a disability. Ignorance is the ultimate disability.Troy and Lisa Reissmann own Valley Organics.

Gluten-free diets, muscular imbalance and wrist and ankle weightsExpert answers to your health and wellness questions

Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest.

By Karmen Nenahlo Question: A friend of mine has been following a gluten-free diet, and is losing weight and feeling more energetic than she has in awhile. That said, she is not gluten intolerant and doesnt have celiac disease. Is this diet recommended for weight loss and general health? Answer: This diet is not intended for presumably healthy individuals, and there isnt any research to indicate that it helps with anything other than gluten intolerance or celiac disease. There are many so-called experts out there that attribute the inability to lose weight, or a lack of energy, to any number of dietary factors, including gluten. Unfortunately, they cant point to any studies indicating that gluten is the problem, and if thats the case, a lack of gluten is unlikely to be the solution. Celiac disease is diagnosed with a blood test and an intestinal biopsy, and gluten intolerance is typically diagnosed if gastrointestinal symptoms persist in the absence of a clinical diagnosis. Your friend is likely experiencing weight loss as the result of following a more restrictive, lower-calorie diet, and this probably explains her renewed energy level as well. If she wants to continue the diet, thats completely fine, but it probably isnt necessary to reach her health and wellness goals. Question: I just started lifting weights and noticed that I have some significant muscular imbalances when it comes to strength. Is this normal, and if so, what can I do about it? Answer: This is completely normal, and is something that most people deal with when they start a strength training program. Most of us have a dominant side that becomes26Natures Pathways | May 2011

stronger as we age, thanks to repetitive use. This leaves us with a weaker side that can make strength training more challenging. Luckily, these weaknesses can be overcome. If you engage in a regular lifting program, your weaker side will gradually catch up over time. You dont even need to focus specifically on your weaker areas, though many people do, in order to balance things out a bit faster. Bottom line consistent training and time will create a balanced and strong body, so just stick with it! Question: I heard that adding wrist and ankle weights while doing cardio will increase my calorie burn significantly. Sound like a good idea? Answer: In a word, no! Adding these types of weights can increase the calories burned during your exercise sessions, but only to a very modest degree. In addition, they can throw off the biomechanics of your movements, and potentially cause injuries to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles. Theyre simply not worth it. You can get a much more effective workout by simply increasing the intensity and/or duration of your cardiovascular exercise. Or better yet, throw in some occasional high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions that will really crank up the calorie burn!Karmen Nenahlo is with Anytime Fitness, the worlds largest 24/7 co-ed fitness franchise.

By Teresa Van Lanen itting in an airport with a long delayed flight, I begin to look around and ponder the nature of my fellow travelers. Who are they, where are they going, what do they do? These are all questions that come across my mind as I observe. With a quick glance one can see apparel, travel cases, and an astounding assortment of electronic devices. We view these objects and can surmise ones level of abundance. Most of us, however, realize that abundance has more to do with whats not that overt. As I look around I see a group of young brothers, chasing each other and giggling; they have abundance. I see a married couple who (I can see by the articles they carry) just returned from the Caribbean with darkened, walnut colored skin. They are sitting close and holding hands; they have abundance. I hear a crew of flight attendants working together like a well-oiled machine. Instead of the routine they would have to repeat verbatim, they joke and have everyone in stitches; they have abundance, too. So what is abundance? What does it mean to you? How does it influence your life? How is it displayed? I asked some friends these very questions.www.naturespathwayswi.com

Abundance to me is the love and support i feel from my family and friends it is limitless!My feeling was that the meaning will be very personal so I was interested in the diverse responses. For me, the meaning of abundance has evolved through my life, so I thought it would be interesting to hear what others had to say. At the base level, abundance seems to represent the plenty around us. One of my friends defines it as, what we give thanks for at Thanksgiving, shelter, food, clothing, having essentials without need for more. For others it may take on a more spiritually-minded light as described by a few of my friends. Here is a nice response from Colleen: Abundance to me is the love and support I feel from my family and friends it is limitless! Abundance is also the opportunities I have and the freedom I have in choosing which opportunities to take. Janette replied saying, Abundance to me means health, joy, well-being, money, great relationships, a solid relationship with God, great opportunities/experiences, a constant flow of all of the positive things that make life so enjoyable. It is all important because it is of my own development so it is an exemplification of my higher selfespecially when I do it consciously! A friend of mine who loves the outdoors, healthy eating and exercise responded that she feels that abundance represents living a carefree lifestyle and to have the ability to go anywhere and do anything I want when I want. Deb feels that, Abundance for me is having enough with enough left over to share. So it can be having an abundance of money, food, time, etc. On a more spiritual level and an abundance of love for me is the natural flow of the Universe that fills us up with love (when we are open to receive) and spills out with abundance as we share our love with others. Sharron adds, Abundance to me is an awareness that there is enough ... plenty to

go around ... it is gently tied to trust and gratitude ... for it is from this perspective that abundance can be experienced. Abundance may represent opportunity, freedom and limitlessness; not only wealth and riches of a tangible nature but of a spiritual nature as well. You can see that there are so many unique responses to this theme from reading these responses. But it makes me wonder that perhaps other questions about abundance to leave you to ponder would be: How would having more abundance change your life? What would it look, smell, taste, sound and feel like? Can you have too much abundance? How do you draw abundance to you?Teresa Van Lanen is a creative empowerment coach who conducts presentations, seminars, workshops, teleclasses and other events that help people reconnect with their creative spirit and to move into more joy in their life.

home buying process. In fact, one of the first steps in the home buying process should be to meet with a bank professional to be pre-qualified for affordable financing. While contemplating a home purchase, or construction, you should focus on your own housing needs and ability to finance them. Considering homes that are beyond your needs, or beyond your means, will only lead to disappointment and discouragement. Remember: Youre investing in a place to live, not speculating in the stock market or even putting money into a savings account. So keep it simple. Buy smarter. The best time to buy a home has always been, and will continue to be, when youre ready. That may sound pretty simplistic but its the truth. Are you really ready to buy a home? You should look at a good principal and interest calculator or consult your banker to get the whole picture, including monthly amounts for taxes, insurance, any applicable home owners association dues, and any applicable mortgage insurance. This is important because you will want to make sure to budget monthly to set aside for these expenses. For years, rapidly rising prices kept many home buyers out of the housing market. However, considering the incredible values, the extensive inventory of homes here in the Fox Valley, and interest rates hovering at relatively low levels, it may be time to start looking to buy a home. If youve been waiting, or wishing, for a home of your own, or a new home, chances are this is a great time to buy!Charles Schmalz is president of East Wisconsin Savings Bank, with locations throughout the Fox Valley.

Oncoplastic breast reconstruction provides natural resultsBy Dr. David Janssen Breast cancer affects one out of eight women, making it imperative every woman understands not only detection, but treatment options. Proactive planning can greatly improve outcome and accelerate a womans journey to a healthy psychological and physical recovery. Every woman, regardless if they have been diagnosed with breast cancer, should be informed of the oncoplastic breast reconstruction surgery (ORBS) technique. The word oncoplastic has origins in the Greek words onco (tumor) and plastic (to mold). The principles of oncoplastic reconstruction surgery are based on creating optimal shape and size of the breasts. Its an effective, safe and healthy option for women. The number of surgeons using oncoplastic techniques is small, so patients should inquire about the surgeons training and experience. Survivors travel great distance to receive surgery by board-certified plastic surgeons with expertise in ORBS, specifically involving an immediate total or nearly total breast reconstruction where most of the tissue is removed.

Oncoplastic reconstructive breast surgery is unique because it frequently includes removing tissue and reconstructing the breast in the same procedure. The board-certified plastic surgeon may also perform a procedure to the opposite breast in order to give the best overall aesthetic result. These may include breast reduction, augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift) or a combination of these procedures. Insurance covers procedures performed for symmetry in cancer patients. Traditional treatments for breast cancer patients are a mastectomy that removes the entire breast, and a lumpectomy that removes the tumor. If a lumpectomy is chosen, reconstruction must wait until radiation is completed. Each option is dependent on the situation of each patient and is discussed in detail with a surgeon and oncologist. Oncoplastic surgery can reconstruct the breast immediately after a mastectomy is performed. In addition, women with cancer frequently choose prophylactic mastectomy (removal of opposite breast not affected by cancer) with total reconstruction as a proactive measure to remain healthy and cancer-free. Following a mastectomy, the board-certified plastic surgeon can perform a total reconstruction with a combination of implants or expanders and acellular dermal matrix such as Alloderm. The final result looks like a natural breast rather than a breast reconstruction. The most natural cosmetic results are obtained when reshaping of the breast is done immediately after cancer removal. If bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction are completed in one stage, the time for follow-up care is reduced, with patients regaining confidence and worrying less. Oncoplastic breast reconstruction is healthier on your body, as a second operation and general anesthesia is frequently eliminated. In specific situations, intense radiation therapy can be avoided. On the East and West coasts, surgeons and patients with cancerous tumors are discussing these benefits and choosing bilateral oncoplastic solutions. With proper education and awareness, patients living in our region will embrace and select these healthier options as well.Dr. David Janssen is a board-certified plastic surgeon with Fox Valley Plastic Surgery, based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

There are other locations that Herkimer diamonds are now mined to include Arkansas (many beautiful crystals in general are also found here.), West Virginia, Mexico, Spain, Tanzania and Pakistan. Depending upon the local of the mine various diamonds have modified names. Although these stones are almost as hard as a diamond, they omit a gentle energy. The radiation of this energy helps one to recognize the essential being in ones self. It allows one to be and recognize the essence of being without effort, as opposed to striving to be. You need not struggle or attempt to find the essential self to become who you are. The self you seek is already there and accessible.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a healing environmentBy Angela Saunders Hyperbaric oxygen treatments have definitely evolved over the past 50 years. Originally used to treat deep-sea divers in their recovery from the bends, today patients are even seeing benefits with allergies, autism, arthritis, stroke, cancer and more. Scientists have learned that the dramatic increase in blood oxygen levels during the therapy create an environment that can help patients heal faster and become more alert. Green Bay Hyperbarics experience over the past 10 years has given us a glimpse of the modern day medical miracles seen everyday around the globe in this rapidly growing field.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can offer relief from a variety of conditions, including decrompression sickness,

would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the increased oxygen dissolves in your blood and circulates throughout your body. Oxygen-rich blood stimulates your body to release substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

How does it work?

In a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the air pressure is raised up to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can take in up to 15 to 20 times more oxygen than

What you can expect

Our unit is designed for one person. You lie down on a padded table that slides into a clear plastic tube about 7 feet in length. During the therapy, you can listen to music or watch a movie or TV program of your choice. Some patients prefer to take a nap. The unit is kept at a comfortable temperature and you are able to communicate with your hyperbaric technician at all times. It is normal to feel a tightness in your ears similar to being in an airplane as the pressure in the chamber changes and can be relieved by yawning or with other means of popping your ears. The treatment typically lasts an hour and a half but can be altered as needed. The number of sessions you will require depends on your medical condition. Some conditions, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, can be treated in as few a three visits while non-healing wounds may require 25-30 treatments. In general, treatments tend to be more effective when you begin them as soon as you can after an injury or health issue occurs.
