This recipe comes to you courtesy of Standard Process. It's high in antioxidants, nutrient-dense greens and anti-inflammatories as well as being very tasty. The extra instructions come courtesy of me.
Spring Greens with Raspberries Salad
Ingredients:
4 cups mixed greens (preferably organic)
1 cup raspberries
1/4 cup red onion or shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cucumber, chopped
1-2 Tbsp. raw pumpkin or sunflower seeds
Dressing:
4 Tbsp. lime juice
4 Tbsp. avocado, sunflower, coconut or olive oil
2 tsp. jalapeno pepper, finely chopped with seeds removed (keep seeds if you like it hot)
1/4 tsp. cumin
Directions:
In a medium bowl, toss together greens, raspberries, onion, cucumber and seeds. Use a blender or food processor to blend all ingredients, thoroughly.
Top the greens mixture with the dressing and carefully drizzle the dressing around the outside of the mixture. That way, you don't get too much dressing in the greens. Add more dressing to your individual portion, if desired.

What One Question do Medical Doctors Not ask Their Patients?
Normally, when one goes to the medical doctor it's for a specific problem (or maybe even a yearly physical). The nurse will take your vitals, ask you what the problem is and take a small history. By the time you actually see the doctor (or more probably, the PA) he/she may ask you a couple of follow-up questions, write you a prescription and, then, off you go.
If you have a doctor whom you have known a long time, you may be asked about your family or job or other such personal questions, but, I'm willing to bet you that you were never asked the following question: "What are your health goals?"
Let's let that percolate a moment. Truly, if you think about it, isn't that question foundational to your quality and quantity of life? Yet, as far as my experience is concerned, the only group of health care professionals that ask that question is the alternative/wholistic group.
When I see a patient/client, that is the very first question that I ask. I may say, "How can I help you?" or, "What are five things that most concern you about your health?" but we always end up talking about personal health goals. I spend about one and one-half to two hours with each new patient. Perhaps, I'm a little slow, or perhaps, it's because by the time people get to me they feel marginalized by the care they have gotten from the medical profession, but I cannot do a complete history/exam/work-up/analysis/health plan in less than that. My goal is to help re-balance the body, not to focus on any one specific diagnosis, and that takes time.
Setting goals is the first thing a financial manager will have you consider, but not your medical doctor. Think about it: we set goals for our education, our career, characteristics we want in a spouse/significant other, our wedding and so on, but not our health. Does that make sense?
My suggestion? Get with a health care provider that you can partner with who will help direct you toward those goals that will result in a longer, drug-free, healthier life.

Tinted Car Windows Offer Little Protection Against Skin Cancer
Car windows don't protect against harmful sun exposure, so it might
be a good idea to wear sunglasses and sun block even while driving, a
new study suggests.
While windshields blocked the vast majority of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, car door windows offered varying levels of protection from the rays that are tied to cataracts and skin aging.
"Some cars were as low as 50 percent blockage," said researcher Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler of the Boxer Wachler Vision Institute in Beverly Hill, California.
"Even cars that came with factory tint, there was no guarantee that would protect against UV rays," he told Reuters Health.
While windshields offer 95-98% UV protection, side windows do not. Because drivers in the U.S. have their left side exposed to sunlight, UV rays have been blamed for the increased number of cataracts and skin cancers that occur on the left side, Boxer Wachler writes in JAMA Ophthalmology. And, there appears to be no correlation between the cost of the car and its UV-A protection for side windows.
Wearing UV-A and UV-B protective sunglasses as well as sunblock is recommended for anyone traveling in their car for extended periods of time, as well as for anyone predisposed to skin cancer or eye problems. Also, adding clear UV filters to the side windows is another recommendation.

How to Improve Your Quality of Sleep
According to the CDC, one-third of Americans do not get even 7 hours of sleep a night, let alone the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. And, even if you are able to sleep through the night, which most adults do, the foods we eat, the bedroom environment and our general lifestyle habits prevent us from getting high quality sleep.
These are the four recommendations from sleep researchers at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine:
"1. Turn down the thermostat
Sixty-five degrees is the optimal temperature for sleeping, according to the National Sleep Foundation. That’s because, throughout the day, your circadian clock alters your body temperature right along with your energy levels. And when your clock says it’s time for bed, you experience a rapid decrease in your core body temperature, says Zee. In fact, from the beginning to middle of the night, your temperature drops about 3 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to enter the deepest stages of sleep. Keeping your room cool (you don’t necessarily have to go as low as 65 if it feels too cold for comfort) facilitates this process, while temperatures higher than the low- to mid-70s are known to impede the brain’s ability to switch to sleep mode.
2. Exercise as early in the day as you can
Research suggests that regular exercise improves sleep quality and duration. And while the effects are generally seen sooner in people with sub-clinical sleep problems, after four months of regular exercise, a gym membership can prove as (or even more) beneficial than most sleep medications even for those with serious cases of insomnia.
3. Skip the nightcap
By acting on your brain’s GABA receptors, that glass of wine may help you fall asleep. But, unlike sleep meds, which also work on GABA, alcohol targets sub-receptors that are more related to sedation than actually sleepiness, Zee says. So even though alcohol may help you fall asleep, it won’t help you stay asleep. In a 2015 study, researchers from the University of Melbourne found that alcohol increases the sleeping brain’s alpha wave patterns—which typically only occur when people are awake—to seriously disrupt sleep. In fact, they said the sleep disruptions are similar to those experienced when receiving small electric shocks throughout the night.
4. Nix even the occasional cigarette
While we hope you know smoking isn’t a healthy activity, most women would be surprised to hear that it affects your sleep patterns—and for the worse. While nicotine in itself is a stimulant, potentially triggering insomnia and mid-slumber awakenings, people who currently smoke are also 2.5 times more likely to suffer from sleep apnea."

MD's Still Overprescribing Antibiotics despite Warnings by CDC
Have you gone to the MD for any of the following problems and been given antibiotics?
" acute respiratory conditions, such as sinus infections, middle ear infections, sore throats, colds, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, asthma, allergies, influenza, and viral pneumonia."
If so, you have been given among the estimated 47 million completely unnecessary and potentially damaging antibiotic prescriptions for viral infections. And, unfortunately, the age group that gets the majority of these is 2 years and under....leading to the demise of the native intestinal flora. (See my 5/2 blog about the importance of those microbiota).
For the past several years, the CDC and other health officials have been actively warning medical doctors to stop prescribing antibiotics for problems caused by viruses or fungi. It appears, the MD's have chosen not to listen.
Every time someone uses an antibiotic, bacteria in their body begins to evolve a resistance to it. It's impossible to wipe out every single bacterium in the body, so those that survive are stronger, and can not only re-infect the patient, but can be passed to others. Which, of course, means that the antibiotic won't be as effective the next time or the next.
This is a direct quote from the CDC: 'And people wipe out "good" germs in their digestive tracts and on their bodies every time they use antibiotics. It's the loss of these beneficial bacteria that helps Clostridium difficile thrive. C. diff infects 450,000 Americans a year and killed 29,000 in 2011.'
There are a number of highly effective methods to combat viral infections.

Microbiota Rule our Bodies, Whether we Like it or Not
Did you know that our gastrointestinal tract contains over 40,000 different species of microbes and the large intestine, alone contains some 10,000,000,000,000 bacteria? That's about 4-5 pounds worth of microbes!
Our bodies contain more bacteria than human cells. So, I think that the function of microbes would be something that we should all understand. We have both native and acquired bacteria. The acquired come from fruits, vegetables, water and probiotics and are transient. They contribute little to our immune system.
Our native flora, the foundation of our immune systems, are passed from mother to child, unless that child is born via C-Section. Then, the child's gut contains mostly bacteria found on the skin, not in the bowel, and the problems begin.
Without the proper amount and quality of microbiota:
1. our immune systems will be compromised
2. our bodies cannot exist in homeostasis
3. we cannot properly utilize minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron
4. we are prone to blood sugar imbalances
5. we cannot produce sufficient bile (why our gall bladders go bad, sometimes) 6. the pH of the colon is imbalanced
7. we cannot resist the invasion of pathogens (sickness-causing microbes)
8. we cannot produce neurotransmitters (chemicals that keep our bodies functioning properly)
9. we become susceptible to cardiovascular and brain dysfunction
10. our small intestines become overgrown with "bad" bacteria...causing bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain and constipation and...
11. we may end up with IBS, auto-immune disease, erosive esophagitis, depression and so very much more.
What is the single most significant cause of the destruction of our native flora? If you don't know, I'll be happy to tell you.

Art can Open the World to Autistic People
I have been reading about how expression through various art media can be extremely helpful to those with various types of autism. Often, those with autism cannot communicate either through speech or writing. Research is now being conducted about effective alternative forms of communication, specifically through drawing or painting.
Even children who show no particular interest in art, once introduced to painting, are able to show how they feel about themselves, those around them and the outside world. Emotions are often difficult for the autistic to express.
The use of art to help people with autism express themselves has gained momentum in recent years, and produced some notable success stories. One such story revolves around a young man named Jeremy, who is unable to verbally communicate. He was introduced to painting, and now, has an art exhibition which opened this month in San Diego.
Jeremy uses colors to express how he feels and sees a person. Each color represents an emotion that he attributes to the person with whom he interacts. According to him, the outside world, once closed, has now opened.
Temple Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University who is autistic, says that art has helped lead her to, "a very interesting career." She encourages parents to introduce autistic children to art and other non-verbal forms of expression. She states: "I encourage all parents to take the skills a child is good at and develop them. Kids with autism have uneven skills. They are good at one subject and bad at another. Areas of skill are often art, math or music."

Allergies to Red Meat are on the Rise
Over the past five years, I've noticed an increase in the number of patients whom I have found to be highly sensitive to beef. When I first started practice, I never saw this. Now, there appears to be a reason for this increase, at least among the population in the southeastern and middle Atlantic states...ticks. Specifically, the "Lone Star Tick." It makes sense as this pest, once confined to the southwest, is now spreading out its territory.
Some people have become so sensitized as to simply touching red meat (including lamb, pork and venison) becomes life-threatening. A carbohydrate found in red meat known as alpha-gal, is seen as a foreign invader to those who are sensitive and the body responds with an antigen-antibody reaction...full-blown allergic symptoms.
However, many don't respond so violently, but show such symptoms as: hives; swollen lips, eyes, tongue and throat; respiratory issues; vomiting; diarrhea; increased heart rate and low blood pressure. And, to complicate things further, symptoms typically don't appear until hours after eating red meat, unlike other anaphylatic reactions which are virtually immediate.
My suggestion is if you are experiencing any of the above-mentioned symptoms hours or even a day after eating red meat, you cut out eating it for one week. Then, try red meat, again. If you develop symptoms, the meat is the culprit.

Women are at Risk in the E.R.
Whether the health profession wants to admit it or not, diagnosis and even care are frequently ruled by bias...against women. This bias appears to be ingrained in medical care and, for the most part, probably unintentional.
Most E.R. standards are tailored to men. For decades, women were excluded from research studies partly because scientists didn't want to endanger either a pregnancy or the reproductive ability of women during testing for new drugs. Or, so says Marianne Legato, MD, director of the Foundation for Gender Specific Medicine in NYC. It wasn't until the establishment of The NIH's Office of Women's Health that scientists began to include women in their studies in 1990. I wonder if that's because the 'don't-want-to-expose-women-to-drugs' excuse was just that, an excuse.
Here's what women need to protect themselves against and advocate for:
1. Not being taken seriously for heart attack symptoms that differ from men's (women usually complain of nausea, back pain and "not feeling right")
2. The, "It's only stress," off-handed remarks by doctors when women are showing signs of stroke (women waited some 15% longer for brain scans than men even when showing the same signs)
3. Being taken seriously when complaining of pain (The, "Oh, it's not that bad," reaction of doctors because we women are "emotional") Research shows women get less pain medication than men.
Women need to be their own advocates. Bring another person along to doctor's visits, if necessary. Ask if this particular treatment works well for women. Trust yourself and your own instincts, especially if you think you are being ignored. Insist on another opinion...the more arrogant the attitude of the doctor, the more you need a second opinion.

Mars Food's Latest "Plan" for Your "Health"
Mars Food plans to label some of its Dolmio pasta sauces, macaroni
cheese and other products as fit for consumption only once a week due to
high levels of salt, sugar or fat.
The scheme is part of a larger initiative by the privately held U.S. food company to encourage healthier eating at a time when large food multinationals, or Big Food, are coming under increasing pressure from public health advocates and regulators struggling to fight a growing obesity epidemic.
The plan, however, does not extend to Mars' chocolate or sweets businesses, whose brands include M&M's, Snickers and Starburst.
Products that are particularly high in salt, sugar or fat, including Dolmio lasagna meal kits and lasagna sauces, will come with a label advising "occasional" consumption, meaning once a week. However, the company said most of its products in the UK would still be for consumption every day. It did not give details for other countries but plans to introduce the labeling in all markets where those products are sold.
Wow. This company is bordering on the philanthropic, isn't it? Hardly. This is simply the latest way that a company producing empty-calorie packaged "food" is attempting to stem the tide of government regulation. Seriously, whom do they think they're kidding?
The Mars Food products contribute to the most significant epidemic of our time: obesity in the very young. The CDC now estimates obesity-related conditions are responsible for a full 20% of deaths in this country. BMI levels are soaring in the southern states...the average mortality age in West Virginia is 65.
For the first time in history, the primary cause of death isn't starvation, it's an overabundance of zero-quality food!
