Hi Everyone


Awaking from winter is wonderful as the trees and flowers burst with new leaves and blooms. Longer days gives us increased sunlight and more time to be outdoors.
As we feel uplifted by these seasonal changes, many of us are in the midst of personal changes, transitions and new beginnings. In the last couple of weeks, I have had news of babies being born, autos being bought, homes being bought and sold, and careers being changed. 'Tis the season of new beginnings.
Many of have found ourselves in the midst of change, with out knowing the final outcome of this process. We may be moving out of our comfort zone into the unknown. Faith is the answer, as stated in the quote below.

"When you have come to the edge of all the light you know, And are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen:
1. There will be something solid to stand on
2. You will be taught how to fly.
"

  • SPRING/SUMMER NEWSLETTERS

  •  Newsletters will be sent on a bi-monthly schedule for the summer and will resume monthly status in August. If, there is interesting information to share, in between newsletters, I will post a special bulletin. Thank you for allowing me to send these publications to you.

  • FOR THE MIND: The Biology of Belief

  •  I have been fortunate to watch a DVD by Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cellular biologist, lecturer and author. His research on cloned human cells, has been instrumental in the foundation of "epigenetics", the new science of how environment and perception control genes.

    Before his research, the common scientific belief was called GENETIC DETERMINISM, meaning - we are the victims of our genes. Life was based on the genes we inherited. There was no way out. You became your genetic heritage.

    Bruce Lipton's research has changed that opinion. He believes our lives are based on 5% genetics and 95% perception of our environment. It is this perception that influences our cells, not the DNA. The best part is our cells can rewrite their destiny. Genes will adapt to our belief system and signals from the environment. Family and childhood patterns, he says, comes from the perceptions of mothers, fathers, family interactions and environmental influences which affect us as children, before and after birth.

    We can reprogram our cells and thus, reprogram our lives - at any age. Dr. Lipton cautions, however, that stress needs be regulated and reduced, as chronic stress will alter the cellular system.

    This is a scientific approach to the realization that the mind affects who and what we are. BY WATCHING THOUGHTS, KEEPING STRESS DOWN, CHANGING BELIEFS, LIVES CAN CHANGE. We are in charge of our mind, our destiny and our health. For some of us, that is not a big surprise.

  • FOR THE BODY: Celiac Disease

  •  Alternative Medicine magazine calls Celiac Disease, "The Great Pretender". It may take as long as 9 years to get a firm diagnosis. Before diagnosis, symptoms can be attributed to all kinds of diseases including emotional imbalances.
    Celiac Disease was an important nutritional subject at the Mass Dietetic conference last year. Celiac disease has been known about for decades. Years ago, the test for Celiac was invasive and painful. It is no wonder that many avoided being tested. Now it is easier using 3 blood tests, which together confirm Celiac Disease.

    What is Celiac Disease?
    Celiac or Sprue is a sensitivity to Gluten, a protein in certain grains like wheat, barley, oats, rye. It is an autoimmune disease, attacking the lining of the small intestine.

    What are the Symptoms? There are odd, seemingly unrelated symptoms such as: rash, IBS, food sensitivities, bloating, joint pain, fatigue, neurological problems, headache and more.

    What is the treatment for Celiac Disease?
    After being medically diagnosed, a very restrictive NO GLUTEN diet is needed. Gluten is the main culprit in this problem. It is found in wheat, oats, barley, rye. It is tricky because gluten is hidden in many foods like dextrin's, mono/triglycerides, seasonings, some natural and artificial flavors, soy sauce, marinades, malt, blue cheese and the list goes on. Because of the need, many non-gluten products have appeared on the market in your favorite supermarket.

    If you suspect that you or anyone in your family may have this problem, have the tests necessary to find out and then see me, I can help you with your diet. You will feel so much better.
