Okay the winter is here with a vengeance and we all have the sniffles or a cough. I found a nice homemade recipe that works for cough and cold symptoms.

CNN Report on Smoking Robbing Eyesight
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/dailydose/12/03/smoking.macular.degeneration/index.html
Age-related macular degeneration is a baby-boomer disease that, according to the American Medical Association, affects more than 10 million Americans. It is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over age 65. A study published in the July 2007 issue of Archives of Ophthalmology found that current smokers are four times more likely to develop this eye problem than nonsmokers.
Questions and answers
What does the study say?
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent: We're talking about a disease called age-related macular degeneration. The biggest risk factor for it is simply getting older. It usually hits after age 50, and, by the time you're 75, about 15 percent of all people have it. Smoking is also a known risk factor. But this research found the risk for getting late age-related macular degeneration is four times greater if you smoke.
Age-related macular degeneration affects your eyes, and gradually destroys your sharp central vision you need for seeing objects clearly for things like reading, driving, and even recognizing faces. The macula is the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina relays images through the optic nerve to the brain. When the macula breaks down, things start to look blurred. Watch to learn more about macular degeneration »
The mechanism for why smoking may increase the risk to your eyesight isn't clear yet. We know smoking increases your risk for many diseases. For example, smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attacks as are nonsmokers, according to the American Cancer Society. But the clear takeaway message here is: If you smoke, quit and get regular eye exams.
What if you used to smoke but you quit?
In this study, past smokers were three times as likely to have late age-related macular degeneration as those who had never smoked, compared with four times greater for current smokers. So, former smokers still have higher risk, but it's slightly lessened. But obviously, there are all kinds of other health benefits if you quit smoking. According to the American Cancer Society, people who quit before age 50 cut their risk of dying in the next 15 years in half compared with those who continue to smoke.
Can age-related macular degeneration be treated or cured?
There's no cure for it, but therapies can slow vision loss. It's important to get regular eye exams. An eye exam can detect macular degeneration before the disease causes vision loss. The American Medical Association recommends a screening eye exam, including detailed exam of the retina, for all people age 40 and over. And if your doctor discovers age-related macular degeneration, it's important to have frequent eye exams.

Juicing for Energy
I have been a fan of juicing for a while now. I like most of you am very busy and find it hard to make the time to juice and do the clean up. However, I had a wonderful refresher this morning on how great juicing makes people feel.
I had a carrot, pineapple and apple combo at breakfast. I had some and my 3 year old also drank some. Afterwards he was singing and felt the urge to run! I felt pretty energized too. On these dark dreary days, it is nice to have a blast of energy.
Juicing also gets your body more alkaline which is a good state to be in. See my May newsletter on Acid vs Alkaline Balance http://www.carusohomeopathy.com/Newsletters/NewsLetter%202008%20May.html
Here are two recipes, one for the morning and another for detoxification:
Morning Wake Up Juice (serves 4)

A note from Lori Wilson on "An Evening With Grandmother"
Hi Everyone!
I do hope you will be able to join us next week for the Evening with Grandmother, Friday December the 12th. This will be the last one for the year 2008, our 31st wonderful monthly tradition. I want to thank each and every one of you for making this time with Grandmother so very special.
We will enjoy our regular Evening with Grandmother and afterwards you are welcome to join in for Holiday celebrations for a social gathering. Please feel free to bring a pot luck snack to share with everyone. On regular evenings, I am usually am busy enjoying answering personal questions for guests. Last holdiay season we started a new tradition which is that I don't answer personal questions after this event, but rather join in the social and celebrat ion time with you.
Grandmother has specifically requested that we participate in a native gifting celebration called a "Give Away". How we have done this in the past is that I will bring a "give away blanket" on which to place the "give away" items. Each of us brings 1 item that has been precious/ meaningful to us in our life, that we are ready to "give away" to place upon the blanket. It can be a small token like a rock with meaning, a special article of clothing, a tool or impliment that has served you well, or any other item you would consider has served you along your spiritual path. You can wrap it, or leave it unwrapped. Please place a small note in the item with your name on it and a brief explaination of 'why this item is precious to you.' At the end of the evening, we will go to the blanket and choose 1 item from the blanket that draws us. The significance of the Give Away gesture is that the energy of the person who has gifted it, give away the item and all of the meaning and support the item represents will then travel with the newly gifted person into this next exciting year. It is a lovely cermony that will only take a few moments before we enjoy our social time and treats. If you can not find anything, do not want to participate, or just forget ... no problem. You will be very welcome to join the evening regardless!
A special Focus for 2009 will be printed out for all .
If you RSVP - confirm your registration by Tuesday Dec. 9th, we will also include on the 2009 focus a paragraph that outlines your personal focus for 2009! (This takes a fair bit of time for me to do, so I won't be able to prepare last minute personal focuses.)
You are also welcome to purchase Gift Certificates for those special people on your holiday list who might enjoy a private appointment with Grandmother. If you pruchase a 1-hr session for Grandmother ($250.), you will receive an additional free gift certificate for a 15-minute session for either channeling or medical intuition.(Valued at $100.) If you are planning on picking up some certificates at the evening, please let us know by phone or email, so we can have them ready for you at the registration table.
Pot luck snack table and socializing afterwards.
Last, but not least, I would love to have your mailing address to send you a special notice about an offering for 2009. Thanks.
If you are coming, let me know as soon as possible so I can have your seat ready for you and plan the snacks and number of Handouts accordingly!
Hugs from Lori xo
This is the chance you have been waiting for! Understand the world in broader ways. Bring your important questions and let this wise spirit-being share her insights.
Friday December 12, 2007 (7- 9 pm) The Turfgrass Institute 328 Victoria Road South (Between College Ave. & York Road)Cost: $ 20.00
Lori Wilson, author, social worker, radio show host and internationally recognized intuitive, will be sharing an amazing 2-hour evening that demystifies everything you may have learned or heard about intuition, channeling and tapping into higher wisdom. In her 23 years of developing her extraordinary intuitive abilities, Lori and her ancient Shoshone elder spirit guide, Grandmother, have been teaching thousands to channel higher wisdom and achieve inner trust. Lori believes channeling is not a mystical gift, but rather a skill that everyone can harness for better living.
Join Lori and Grandmother for this evening of channeled ancient wisdom where Grandmother will offer a teaching and then answer audience questions of general interest and benefit to all. Throughout the evening, 5 audience names will be drawn to ask personal questions as well. Get curious and see how paying attention to what seems invisible can change your life!
Come Grow with Us & Bring Your Friends! TO REGISTER, PLEASE RSVP lori@inneraccess101.com or CALL 519-824-6655.

Homeopathy for the Flu
With the snow already flying, many people are concerned about the flu season. In conventional medicine flu shots are now being recommended to everyone. However, in the past they were reserved for those who were elderly or sickly. I am not a fan of mass flu vaccinations and here is why:
- It only protects for whatever strain they are using in the vaccine. It is not 100% guaranteed that you will be immune when you do get the shot. There are no guarantees, like anything in life.
- The flu is typically not life threatening for those with a normal immune system.
- It contains thimerisol, which is a preservative and includes the heavy metal called mercury. Like most of people, I am not a fan of heavy metals, especially by injection. There are many vaccines that do not contain thimerisol in Canada.
- The flu shot is injected, with all of it's preservatives, directly into your bloodstream.
- Many of my clients have reported adverse reactions to the shot, such as headaches, flu symptoms, cold, fatigue, local swelling and in some severe cases nervous tics.
- Please see an interesting video blog on the flu shot from Dr. Mercola:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/11/01/why-flu-shots-for-kids-don-t-work.aspx
Not everyone getting the flu shot gets sick. However, I believe if your immune system is strong enough, you will likely bypass the flu.
There is a few good alternatives help prevent the flu from taking you down:
- Influenzinum 9CH, take one vial per week. This is a homeopathic preparation made from common flu strains. These strains are so diluted they carry only a vibration or essence of the original substance thus it is completely free of side effects.
- Thymuline 9CH, take one vial per week. This is another homeopathic preparation made from thymus extract. It helps to stimulate the immune system. It is also very gentle and diluted and free of side effects.
- Ocillococcinum is a great remedy for when the flu has already struck. It helps with symptoms such as chills, aches, pains and fever. Typical dosage is one pill three times a day until the symptoms abate.
Seek the help of a professional homeopath if you have symptoms that you are not sure of.
These remedies are available in the clinic and in most stores that carry homeopathic remedies. Please call the clinic to order yours today.

Homeopathy in the News
According to Homeopathy, a British journal dedicated to the science of homeopathy, homeopathic treatments are equal or superior to drug treatments.
One study of the homeopathic remedy, Chamomilla 6CH, found that mice who were stressed through a forced swimming test or living with a sick mouse, faired equally as well as the group who received an anti-depressant called amitryptiline. These two groups faired much better than the group given a placebo.
Another study found that sheep who were infected with a parasite haemonchus contortus did well with homeopathic remedies as well. There was a homeopathy group, a drug group takng doramectin or an untreated group. The homeopathic group had a significant reduction in parasite larvae compared to the untreated group. They also had superior weight gain compared to the untreated and drug group. Homeopathic remedies were also shown to be economically beneficial compared to drug treatments for this disorder.

Stress is the Monkey on Your Back
I watched this great show on PBS called "Killer Stress". It showed how stress affects the body in tangible ways. There was a group of monkeys that one man watched for 30 years. In the monkey group there was an alpha monkey male, who struck out at the other monkeys to keep them in line. The alpha male had good cholesterol, clear arteries and no diabetes. In a CT scan the pleasure centers of the brain were bright, meaning they enjoyed food and life. The subordinate monkeys had lighter pleasure centers, which means they enjoy things less. They also had lots of problems with cholesterol, clogged arteries and diabetes. These monkeys also gained weight around their midsection compared to the alpha monkeys.
After ten years, the alpha monkeys started to eat from a dump site. They ate first being the top monkey. They consumed meat poisoned with tuberculosis. All of the alpha males died. Then these laid back monkeys lived with the females. They didn't lash out at the females when they are angry. They lived together peacefully and raised their young. After twenty years, this new type of monkey didn't have any heart disease, weight problems and diabetes. It seems that living in a peaceful environment with some control over your destiny helps to keep one healthy. It is important to work with people you enjoy and have some control.
Another thing they found was that mothers who were stressed and pregnant during a famine in Holland, had children aged 60. These 60 years olds almost all had heart disease, diabetes and an inability to deal with stress.
Doing brain scans on stressed people found that they lost brain cells, their neurons shrank. There telomeres that connect dna strands also shrank. When they had a support group, friends and someone to laugh with, these telomeres actually grew back.
I found this work fascinating. So many of us are chasing the dollar and not enjoying our work. Having a job we love, takes a lot of pressure off us. We don't take regular breaks to stop and enjoy life. We must keep good company, supportive friends and those who have our best interest at heart.
Try some natural stress remedies, try ashwaganda, rhodiola, vitamin B5 and adrenal extract.

A Note from Barbara McKell, Soul Connection
By Barbara McKell
Autumn brings a pallet of warm rich colours into our vision and for a brief time, we drink in the multitude of colours that emerge from a previously green background. The colours burst forth from the greenery that surrounded us all summer like a riotous party before the long deep sleep of winter. Where do the yellows, golds, reds and browns come from? This can answered very scientifically with plant biochemistry and physiology. I don't pretend to understand the myriad of processes involved, but with a little reserch I discovered the reason these beautuiful colours emerge in the fall.As plant leaves begin to die in autumn the green pigment, chlorophyll, decays rapidly while other pigments, yellow carotenoids, decay more slowly. Other pigments, red anthocyanins, are produced as byproducts of the death of the leaves. The green colour fades to reveal the underlying yellows, reds and browns from tannin and other compounds. The colour and vibrancy are influenced by plant genetics and the environment. The Colours have always enlivened me. I have been involved in colour through my art and my many years spent in the field as a fashion designer. The Auracle colours have brought me to a whole new understanding of the vibration and life force which runs through live, natural colours. The colours of nature speak to us and enliven our energetic being with radiance and vitality. We crave colour. It effects our mood, our attitudes and our health. The colours of our clothing and home decore, which come from unatural chemicals do not satisfy our enegetic need for colour, because they are dead colours.Auracles colours are safe, pure and alive. There are absolutely no chemicals in Auracle's Colours to keep the integrity within these extremely high frequencies, allowing those who use them to shift and heal quickly. Auracle's Colours are made with special powders from Mother Earth that have resulted in a spectrum of 26 beautiful and illuminating natural colours, as well as gem essences, blessed waters, oils, some which go back into the time of Christ, and energies of all Angels, Archangels, Masters and Ascended Masters from every culture as every journey is different and every soul has its own calling and perception. The Masters guide the session....If you would like to experience this exquisite live colour system. You can use the coupon below until Dec. 31, 2008

Sacred Sound
by Barbara McKell
Sacred Sound is spiritually-healing sound used all over the world as a means of access to the divine. Sacred sound provides wholeness through its healing and soothing properties. The modern day use of Sacred Sound is causing a vibratory awakening and altering the structure of our limiting world view.
Tones and sounds are important for our vibrational frequencies. These tones are waves of movement, which help to release the structure of lower thought forms held as cellular memory in the body restoring natural balance and harmony. In my healing work I use the crystal tones of the Crystal singing bowls to move energy. Through the purest wave form of sine waves, the vibration allows free flowing movement of energy throughout the body.
Crystal singing bowls create tones and waves of light, which carry through physical objects and move matter. The body has a natural affinity to quartz crystal. The crystalline substances within our body exist in our bones, blood, brain and DNA. The silica within our bodies balances our electromagnetic energies. We are star dust and we respond to sound in the same way star system come into existence.Book an appointement with Barbara to experience your own personal sound healing session lying on a crystal bed. and magically be transported by the crystal sound.

Iron and Cancer
I have noticed many people taking iron, who need to be sure they are anemic first.
Iron is a non water soluble vitamin, which means it builds up in the tissues if it is taken in excess. Another interesting tidbit, is that it feeds cancer cells. Here is a link to another good LEF article on Iron and Cancer:

Homeopathy Works for Children with Eczema
A German Study published in "Complementary Therapies In Medicine" 2008, 16(1): 15-21 has shown that homeopathy is at least equally effective as conventional medicine in treating eczema in children. Primary care physicians reported symptom scores after a year of treatment. "The authors said the primary care trial provided good evidence for use of homeopathy for the treatment of eczema.

Introduction
Many people ask, “Why the dragonfly?” According to Ancient Native Americans beliefs, all animals had lessons to teach and had healing or inspirational power. Dragonfly is the essence of the winds of change, the messages of wisdom and enlightenment and beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which need changing. Dragonfly's magic shows us to see through life's illusions to the pathway of transformation and find our true vision and reminds us to feel deeply so we will have the compassion necessary to help ourselves and others. Simply put, the dragonfly symbolizes change. The Centre is all about change for wellness through education and healing. See below for articles and events, upcoming workshops, special offers and links.
In health and light,
Irene Arndt, Owner: Dragonfly Centre for Change

The Healer and the Healing Process; What Does a Healer Do?
With so many healing modalities emerging and becoming popular, how do you know what to try or what to expect? How do you pre-qualify someone who is going to be working with you in such a personal way? What exactly is involved in this process of healing? As someone who has been changing and healing for some time now, I’ll outline some of the highlights.

Introduction
Many people ask, “Why the dragonfly?” According to Ancient Native Americans beliefs, all animals had lessons to teach and had healing or inspirational power. Dragonfly is the essence of the winds of change, the messages of wisdom and enlightenment and beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which need changing. Dragonfly's magic shows us to see through life's illusions to the pathway of transformation and find our true vision and reminds us to feel deeply so we will have the compassion necessary to help ourselves and others. Simply put, the dragonfly symbolizes change. The Centre is all about change for wellness through education and healing. See below for articles and events, upcoming workshops, special offers and links.

Exercise is the Fountain of Youth
Exercise is the Heart's Fountain of Youth
Excerpt from www.mercola.com
Older people who do endurance exercise training end up with metabolically younger hearts, according to a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. By at least one metabolic measure, women benefit more than men from the training.Researchers measured heart metabolism in sedentary older people both at rest and during administration of dobutamine, a drug that makes the heart race as if a person were exercising vigorously. At the start of the study, they found that the hearts of the study subjects didn't increase their uptake of glucose in response to the dobutamine.But after endurance exercise training involving walking, running or cycling exercises three to five days a week for about an hour per session, the participants' hearts doubled their glucose uptake during high-energy demand, just as younger hearts do.If heart muscle doesn't take in glucose in response to increased energy needs, it goes into an energy-deprived state, which can raise the risk of heart attack. But if it can increase glucose uptake, the heart is better protected against heart attack and ischemia (low oxygen).

Cell Phone Use Linked to Increased Cancer Risk
The head of a prominent cancer research institute has issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
The warning came from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Herberman says his warning is based on early unpublished data. He argues that people should take action now -- especially when it comes to children.
"Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Herberman said.

Crave July 24, 2008
USA Today July 23, 2008
From Dr. Mercola's website www.mercola.com
Tumor immunologist Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is the last in a recent succession of authorities that are speaking out publicly about the potential dangers of cell phones.
Dr. Herberman’s complete article, which was sent out with his advisory, includes a summary analysis of the recent studies that form the basis of his decision to issue precautionary measures. It also includes this illustration, showing just how much higher the absorption rates are in a 5- and 10-year old’s brain versus that of an adult. It’s an impressive visual, showing how electromagnetic radiation can penetrate almost straight through the entire brain of a 5-year old child!
“Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use,” says Dr. Herberman. I couldn’t agree more. As far as I’m concerned, the signs that we’re looking at a major public health problem are overwhelming.
To date, several countries including France, Germany and India have issued recommendations to limit your exposure to electromagnetic fields. Additionally, Toronto’s Department of Public Health is now advising teenagers and young children to limit their use of cell phones, to avoid potential health risks, which I reported on just last week.
Another noted brain cancer authority who has recently voiced his concerns is Australian Dr Vini Gautam Khurana. He is a Mayo Clinic-trained neurosurgeon with an advanced neurosurgery Fellowship in cerebral vascular and tumor microsurgery. In February 2008, Dr. Khurana issued a paper titled: Mobile Phones and Brain Tumors after 14 months of independent research, reviewing more than 100 sources of recent medical and scientific literature.
Says Dr. Khurana, “In the context of the fact that widespread mobile phone usage commenced in the mid-1980s (earliest in Northern Europe), with the first 10 years of widespread usage ending in the mid-1990s, and the fact that solid tumors may take several years to trigger and form, it seems plausible to expect that if no appropriate changes are made by Industry and consumers alike, in the next 5 - 10 years the aforementioned concerning associations will likely be definitely proven in the medical literature.”
He goes on to say: “Given the calculated “incubation time” and the commencement of mobile telephony’s mass deployment in Sweden, it is no surprise that Swedish researchers were among the first to report a positive association between cell phone use and brain tumor risk.”
Will Political Lobbying Cost You Your Health, or Perhaps Even Your Life?
Not only are there companies making lots and lots of money off of cell phones, who will do their best to spread misdirection, spin, and outright lies. But the government agencies, which are in theory there to protect you, have also entered into mutually profitable “partnerships” with the very businesses they are supposed to regulate, meaning there is very little real regulation going on.
In 2007 alone, the telecommunications industry spent almost $250 million on political lobbying. Over the past decade, they have spent a grand total of nearly $2.4 billion.
Folks, please understand – there are NO agencies “out there” protecting you from these dangers. No one’s looking out for your health, aside from the occasional brave scientist or physician who dares to rattle the status quo.
The FDA is Bought and Paid For -- In the United States there are no less than three regulatory agencies that arguably have jurisdiction over cell phones. The first is the FDA, which is responsible by law for regulating any device that emits radiation. But over the past few decades, a series of changes in government policy have for the most part prevented the FDA from being the watchdog organization it was designed to be; these days, it exists mostly to give an imprimatur of government approval to industrial products. Starting in the mid-1980’s, various industries lobbied Congress to pressure the FDA into speeding up the approval of new drugs and products. Congress was reluctant to pour more money into the organization, so instead they came up with a novel plan: creating a “partnership” between the FDA and the industries it was intended to regulate. Now, the FDA collects “user fees” from companies, which have grown to account for a significant chunk of the agency’s overall budget. In other words, the FDA now receives corporate sponsorship from the very industry that it aims to regulate. They have been transformed from a corporate watchdog into a customer of those same corporations. They do very little regulating as a result, since they want to keep their “partners” happy.
The EPA is Now Powerless -- The EPA has responsibility for any building or factory that emits radiation into the environment, such as a cell phone tower. In the early 1990’s, they planned to start regulating these towers. But the vast telecommunications industry used its lobbying resources to get a highly self-serving provision inserted into the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Since 1996, a cell phone base station is defined as a radiation emitting “device” rather than a building. Since they are now defined as devices, the EPA has lost its authority to regulate them.
The FCC is Bought and Paid For, AND Has No Power! -- Another result of the Telecommunications Act was to put nearly all regulatory power over cell phones in the hands of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC. But the FCC is charged only with overseeing the fair and equitable use of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are not a regulatory agency with regard to health, the environment, or consumer safety. They have no regulatory authority to protect you. Even if they could, they most likely wouldn’t; like the FDA, they are making a great deal of money off of their corporate “partners”. The supposedly “public” electromagnetic spectrum is auctioned off to companies by the FCC. What’s more, after the dot-com crash of the late 90’s, many technology companies who had purchased the wavelengths found themselves strapped for cash. They owed money to the FCC, and no longer had any way to pay it. So the FCC cut a deal: they took a small percentage of the owed money as a down payment, and then agreed to collect the rest as the cell phone companies earned money from consumers. Essentially, the FCC is a mortgage holder for the mobile phone industry.The FCC now actually has a vested interest in the rapid deployment of technology and build-up of the industry, so that they can collect the rest of their money. They are not going to make any efforts to block anything the industry wants. This is a classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse.
This Must Change, and it Will
Still, despite these obstacles, the truth is coming out and these outspoken heroes in the medical community are evidence of that. The more doctors come on board, the more people will be convinced. You as well, can help by convincing your family, your friends, and your colleagues.
In the meantime, take steps to protect yourself. Getting rid of your cell phone altogether can help. But even if you don’t want to take go that far, you can still minimize your exposure and reduce your risks, and the risks to your loved ones.

There are many simple precautions that you can take to reduce your exposure to information-carrying radiowaves and the electromagnetic radiation emitted from your cell phone – both of which are hazardous to your health. Here are my best guidelines:
Children Should Never Use Cell Phones: Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner skull bones.
Reduce Your Cell Phone Use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters.
Use A Land Line At Home And At Work: Although more and more people are switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.
Reduce or Eliminate Your Use of Other Wireless Devices: You would be wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time. If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least they do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made.
Use Your Cell Phone Only Where Reception Is Good: The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception.
Turn Your Cell Phone Off When Not In Use: As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call.
Keep Your Cell Phone Away From Your Body When It Is On: The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body within that area.
Use Safer Headset Technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient information carrying radio waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain. Make sure that the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded. The best kind of headset to use is a combination shielded wire and air-tube headset. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the information to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the way up to your head.

What's More Important -- Your Cell Phone Or Your Brain? Cell Phones and Brain Tumors Electromagnetic Fields May Cause Cancer
The warning came from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Herberman says his warning is based on early unpublished data. He argues that people should take action now -- especially when it comes to children.
"Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Herberman said.

From Dr. Mercola's website www.mercola.com
Tumor immunologist Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is the last in a recent succession of authorities that are speaking out publicly about the potential dangers of cell phones.
Dr. Herberman’s complete article, which was sent out with his advisory, includes a summary analysis of the recent studies that form the basis of his decision to issue precautionary measures. It also includes this illustration, showing just how much higher the absorption rates are in a 5- and 10-year old’s brain versus that of an adult. It’s an impressive visual, showing how electromagnetic radiation can penetrate almost straight through the entire brain of a 5-year old child!
“Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use,” says Dr. Herberman. I couldn’t agree more. As far as I’m concerned, the signs that we’re looking at a major public health problem are overwhelming.
To date, several countries including France, Germany and India have issued recommendations to limit your exposure to electromagnetic fields. Additionally, Toronto’s Department of Public Health is now advising teenagers and young children to limit their use of cell phones, to avoid potential health risks, which I reported on just last week.
Another noted brain cancer authority who has recently voiced his concerns is Australian Dr Vini Gautam Khurana. He is a Mayo Clinic-trained neurosurgeon with an advanced neurosurgery Fellowship in cerebral vascular and tumor microsurgery. In February 2008, Dr. Khurana issued a paper titled: Mobile Phones and Brain Tumors after 14 months of independent research, reviewing more than 100 sources of recent medical and scientific literature.
Says Dr. Khurana, “In the context of the fact that widespread mobile phone usage commenced in the mid-1980s (earliest in Northern Europe), with the first 10 years of widespread usage ending in the mid-1990s, and the fact that solid tumors may take several years to trigger and form, it seems plausible to expect that if no appropriate changes are made by Industry and consumers alike, in the next 5 - 10 years the aforementioned concerning associations will likely be definitely proven in the medical literature.”
He goes on to say: “Given the calculated “incubation time” and the commencement of mobile telephony’s mass deployment in Sweden, it is no surprise that Swedish researchers were among the first to report a positive association between cell phone use and brain tumor risk.”
Will Political Lobbying Cost You Your Health, or Perhaps Even Your Life?
Not only are there companies making lots and lots of money off of cell phones, who will do their best to spread misdirection, spin, and outright lies. But the government agencies, which are in theory there to protect you, have also entered into mutually profitable “partnerships” with the very businesses they are supposed to regulate, meaning there is very little real regulation going on.
In 2007 alone, the telecommunications industry spent almost $250 million on political lobbying. Over the past decade, they have spent a grand total of nearly $2.4 billion.
Folks, please understand – there are NO agencies “out there” protecting you from these dangers. No one’s looking out for your health, aside from the occasional brave scientist or physician who dares to rattle the status quo.
The FDA is Bought and Paid For -- In the United States there are no less than three regulatory agencies that arguably have jurisdiction over cell phones. The first is the FDA, which is responsible by law for regulating any device that emits radiation. But over the past few decades, a series of changes in government policy have for the most part prevented the FDA from being the watchdog organization it was designed to be; these days, it exists mostly to give an imprimatur of government approval to industrial products. Starting in the mid-1980’s, various industries lobbied Congress to pressure the FDA into speeding up the approval of new drugs and products. Congress was reluctant to pour more money into the organization, so instead they came up with a novel plan: creating a “partnership” between the FDA and the industries it was intended to regulate. Now, the FDA collects “user fees” from companies, which have grown to account for a significant chunk of the agency’s overall budget. In other words, the FDA now receives corporate sponsorship from the very industry that it aims to regulate. They have been transformed from a corporate watchdog into a customer of those same corporations. They do very little regulating as a result, since they want to keep their “partners” happy.
The EPA is Now Powerless -- The EPA has responsibility for any building or factory that emits radiation into the environment, such as a cell phone tower. In the early 1990’s, they planned to start regulating these towers. But the vast telecommunications industry used its lobbying resources to get a highly self-serving provision inserted into the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Since 1996, a cell phone base station is defined as a radiation emitting “device” rather than a building. Since they are now defined as devices, the EPA has lost its authority to regulate them.
The FCC is Bought and Paid For, AND Has No Power! -- Another result of the Telecommunications Act was to put nearly all regulatory power over cell phones in the hands of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC. But the FCC is charged only with overseeing the fair and equitable use of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are not a regulatory agency with regard to health, the environment, or consumer safety. They have no regulatory authority to protect you. Even if they could, they most likely wouldn’t; like the FDA, they are making a great deal of money off of their corporate “partners”. The supposedly “public” electromagnetic spectrum is auctioned off to companies by the FCC. What’s more, after the dot-com crash of the late 90’s, many technology companies who had purchased the wavelengths found themselves strapped for cash. They owed money to the FCC, and no longer had any way to pay it. So the FCC cut a deal: they took a small percentage of the owed money as a down payment, and then agreed to collect the rest as the cell phone companies earned money from consumers. Essentially, the FCC is a mortgage holder for the mobile phone industry.The FCC now actually has a vested interest in the rapid deployment of technology and build-up of the industry, so that they can collect the rest of their money. They are not going to make any efforts to block anything the industry wants. This is a classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse.
This Must Change, and it Will
Still, despite these obstacles, the truth is coming out and these outspoken heroes in the medical community are evidence of that. The more doctors come on board, the more people will be convinced. You as well, can help by convincing your family, your friends, and your colleagues.
In the meantime, take steps to protect yourself. Getting rid of your cell phone altogether can help. But even if you don’t want to take go that far, you can still minimize your exposure and reduce your risks, and the risks to your loved ones.

Week 2, Journey to the Centre of My Girth....
Just an update---- so far in 2 weeks of following the ratios, I have lost 7.5 lbs. So far my most challenging times are when I work a long shift and do not prepare food ahead of time or eating at our trailer. Some days with my busy lifestyle, fitting in an hour of exercise can be tough. I have managed to get at least 1/2 an hour a day, most days are an hour. If I am booked up all day, I will take walks in increments of 15 minutes, three times a day. This works for me and I have read studies that it is equally as effective as walking the full length.
Eating out can be tough, but you can more easily fit into the ratios if you eat the lower glycemic and fat foods as related to the glycemic index sheet available in the August newsletter. I found after week 2, I am not as tempted to eat fattening foods such as chips, breads, pasta and baked goods. Getting the proper ratios of carbs to fats and proteins helps me to feel satisfied.

Breaking News: Vitamin C Levels are Related to Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
This is an article from "Vitamin Research Products". They put out a lot of good information about the latest research on vitamins and supplements. In a nutshell, the research shows that those with a higher blood plasma level of vitamin C have a much less incidence of type 2 diabetes. This would account for a higher intake of fruits and veggies. Your mom was right, you should eat your vegetables!

The long weekend of August was quite a challenge. At our trailer we have a lot of BBQ's with the neighbours and there are usually plenty of calories in alcholic drinks. I did drink some red wine, but not coolers. Red wine has only 1 carb for 4 oz. However, it is 88 calories. Better for heart health. There is no formal exercise equipment at the trailer and the lake it too shallow to swim without taking the boat out in the middle of the lake. I walked our dog every day plus I borrowed a neighbour's bike and went for an hour bike ride every morning. This was great to ride to the marina and see all of the nice cottages and boats along the way. I even felt energetic enough to race my 13 year old son home from the park one day. I must say, I am no 13 year old!
Food wise at the trailer is always tempting. I was sure we had chicken and fish at our trailer in the freezer. However, we did not and all that was there was hamburgers and sausages! I didn't manage to drive to the grocery store until Saturday morning. Eating a thick and juicy hamburger is a lot of calories and fat. I chose to eat the burger without the bun. I had to cut back in other areas to compensate for that choice. Not worth it!
Another challenge was I choose to eat a few whole grain organic tortilla chips with hummus. For me eating only 10 of those tasty chips with hummus dip was deserving of an award. That was another poor choice because I made the mistake of researching what the food counts of these foods were after the choice. What a lot of calories and carbs in 10 little chips. Oh well, live and learn! Onwards and upwards again my friends.
I am reporting my weight loss for this week: 3.5 lbs
I hope all of you are enjoying tracking and losing weight as well. Lets stick together and blog your successes along with me! There is strength in sharing. I will try and share more recipes next week.

Journey to the Centre of My Girth!
This is day one of my journey to a healthier me! I would like you to compare notes, join me and track your progress and success along with me. For a download on how to calculate your daily ratios for a balanced diet with ratios of fat, carbohydrate and protein grams and calories, please see the clinic e-newsletter for August 2008. It also contains a download for tracking your daily calories and exercise. After today I will blog weekly my diet, exercise and pounds lost, sharing recipes.
Sunday July 27th, 2008: Day One of a healthier me! I am full of positive energy today. I am looking forward to being stronger and healthier.
Here is a record of my food intake for the day:
Breakfast:
Warm Maple Oatmeal with cottage cheese (tastes much better than it sounds!)1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1/3 cup cooked large flake oatmeal, 2 tsp of pure maple syrup, dash of cinnamon, mixed and eaten warm.
1 cup of decaf coffee with 3 tsp of 10% coffee cream
1 large glass of water with lemon
Subtotal Calories: 265 Fat grams: 4 Carb grams: 49 Protein: 18.4
Lunch:
Heather's Mediterranian Salad containing 30g of low fat feta cheese, 1/2 cup of cucumber, 1 large tomato, 1 tbsp of diced red onion, 1 tsp of garlic, black pepper, 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Calories: 372 Fat grams: 33.9 Carb grams: 9 Fat grams: 8.1
Exercise: 1 hour walk on this great day! I took the kids for a walk around Guelph lake and through the trails. It was not so strenuous except for letting my 3 year old ride on my shoulders for 1/5 of the way.
Snack:
Source Lemon Yogurt, 130 grams
1 Large glass of water with lemon
Calories: 45 Fat grams: 0 Carb grams: 7 Protein: 7
Dinner
Asian Sauteed mushrooms with tilapia containing per serving: 10 sliced crimini mushrooms, 1/4 cup of organic chicken broth, 1.5 fillets of tilapia, 1/8 cup of chopped green pepper, 1/2 cup of kale, 1 tbsp of tamari sauce, salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp of chopped garlic, 1 tsp of butter, served ontop of 45 grams of soba noodles (these are high carb, but I couldn't resist just having a small amount!)
1 large glass of water
Calories: 410, Fat grams: 10.1 Carb grams: 57 Protein grams: 33.3
Subtotal:
Calories: 1092 Fat Grams: 48 Carb grams: 122 Protein grams: 66.8
My daily goal is:
Calories: 1200 Fat Grams: 40.5 Carb grams: 121.5 Protein grams: 91
Evening:
4 oz. glass of cabernet sauvignon
Calories: 88 Fat grams: 0 Carb grams: 1 Protein grams: 0
Total: 1180 Fat grams: 48 Carb grams: 123 Protein grams: 66.8
I am slightly low on my protein today. It is likely because I choose to eat feta for lunch as a protein. I will aim to get in the ratios a little better tomorrow. I feel lighter today, the fluid is leaving me already! To boost the protein I could have choosen to eat an egg white omelet if my calories were not so close to the limit.

I am slightly low on my protein today. It is likely because I choose to eat feta for lunch as a protein. I will aim to get in the ratios a little better tomorrow. I feel lighter today, the fluid is leaving me already! To boost the protein I could have choosen to eat an egg white omelet if my calories were not so close to the limit.

Weekends are Dieters Worst Enemy!
This is an interesting article on how weekend eating tends to mess up dieter's mission, to lose weight:

With all of the entertaining people do on weekends, it is no wonder the caloric intake is higher. Some healthy foods can be low fat. Have you ever had a salad that was so good in the summer?
Here is two of my recipes for supper salads, you can serve it with a wine spritzer (white wine, soda water and lemon) and it is low cal, yet still a great treat! You can add a fancy splash to your drinks, by having a sparkling wine or spritzer with diced fruit in the bottom of the glass, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple or kiwi.
Spinach Salad:
3 cups of spinach greens
Toppings: 1/4 of a vidalia onion, sliced
1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup of soft goat cheese (regular or light will do) break into chunks
2 boiled eggs, sliced
1/8 cup of dried cranberries
Light Lemon and poppy seed dressing
Mixed Greens and Berries
3 cups of mixed baby greens
Toppings: 10 strawberries, sliced or 15 raspberries
1 can of water packed mandarin oranges drained
4 pieces of sliced smoked salmon
1/4 cup of goat cheese (regular or light will do) break into chunks
1/4 of a vidalia onion, sliced
1/8 cup of dried cranberries
Salad dressing- 1 part balsamic vinegar, 2 part olive oil, 1 tbsp of chopped garlic, 1/2 tsp of coarse black pepper (this can be used again and again, store in the fridge until ready to use).
You can also serve small healthy bruschetta, using whole wheat baguettes, cut into thin slices, rubbed with olive oil and garlic, and toasted in the oven. Remove them, spread on a basil and olive pesto, soft goat cheese or feta and then top it with a veggie (like a red pepper, mushroom, tomato). Bake them until the cheese is melted.
Great ready for the compliments!

Leaky Gut and Autoimmune Disease
With new laboratory testing I had found many people with autoimmune diseases showing signs of inappropriate bowel flora (such as an overgrowth of bacteria, fungal forms or parasites). This may correspond with the theory that leaky gut causes autoimmune disease. Leaky gut is characterized by cells that line the intestinal tract leaking contents that belong in the intestinal tract into the blood stream. The things that leak into the blood cause immune reactions.
This leaking also may land in any organ system and cause a problem, such as the joints, kidneys, liver, food reactions and the like. There are many tests for bowel flora that can be performed to identify the particular bacteria form that may be the offender. This is a very positive step towards healing some devastating autoimmune diseases.

Common autoimmune diseases that may be caused from leaky gut are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

The Truth About Homeopathy
It is the weekend, and I am still thinking about homeopathy!!!
Here is an excellent article dispelling the myths of homeopathy. It highlights how some of the common arguements about it have no real foundation.
I was sent a link to it on http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/, which is a very rich source of information on many topics.

The Work of Byron Katie
A fabulous woman that I was lucky to have met, introduced me to "The Work" by Byron Katie. After I viewed some of the tranformations of people's thought, I realized that it can be used in illness as well. Not only to process what people are going through, but to realize what may be holding them back. Doing "The Work" causes you to think about "your story" and process things differently, which shifts your perception of events. It helps to release some mind sets or limiting thoughts that are barriers to living life fully. There are four steps of "The Work" to transform thoughts. You can find her book called "Loving What Is" at your local bookstore or go to Byron Katie's website to view these steps and real transformations. http://www.thework.com/
Thank you to the fabulous courageous woman who introduced me to "the Work"!

Celebration for Channeling Wisdom of Grandmother
A Message from Lori Wilson.....
How exciting for us to be celebrating our 2 year Anniversary of our monthly "Evenings of Channeled Wisdom with Grandmother". We will meet Friday, May 23rd at the Turf Grass Institute. WOW!
We will enjoy our regular 2-hour evening of questions and channeled answers from Grandmother; followed by a pot luck snack-feast and BBQ afterward outside! As per the December Holiday gathering precedent, I will be enjoying in the social visiting rather than answering personal questions from Grandmother after the 2-hour evening.
Another important announcement is that all proceeds from this Evening's event will be going to my nephew Colton's fundraising efforts. He is going to India on May 28th for what we intend on as being a life-saving brain surgery. He has a rare neurological condition that only has a life expectancy of 11 years. Colton just turned 10 this week. His sister died four years ago of the same condition at age 8. We have much to celebrate in his life and continued health building. For additional fundraising I will also make 2-for-1 Gift Certificates available for attendees for private appointments with Grandmother. The cost is $250. which will get you 2, 1-hour Gift Certificates. (Each appointment is valued at $250.) All Gift Certificate proceeds will also go to Colton and his upcoming trip. If you are planning on supporting this trip by purchasing a 2-for-1 Gift Certificate, please let us know and bring your cheque for $250. made payable to "Project Possibility". We can also do VISA or MasterCard donations. All donations over $20. will receive a charitable donation receipt by mail. To read more about Colton and his family, feel free to go to their website www.thewinningteam.org
Exciting changes for all of us. Life sure has been reaching up and biting us in our sweet little behinds lately! So let's join together to remind ourselves of how lucky we are to have the chance to be here each and every day in this journey we call life!
Hugs from Lori xo
This is the chance you have been waiting for! Understand the world in broader ways. Bring your important questions and let this wise spirit-being share her insights.
Friday May 23, 2008 (7- 9 pm) The Turfgrass Institute 328 Victoria Road South (Between College Ave. & York Road)Cost: $ 20.00
Lori Wilson, author, social worker, radio show host and internationally recognized intuitive, will be sharing an amazing 2-hour evening that demystifies everything you may have learned or heard about intuition, channeling and tapping into higher wisdom. In her 24 years of developing her extraordinary intuitive abilities, Lori and her ancient Shoshone elder spirit guide, Grandmother, have been teaching thousands to channel higher wisdom and achieve inner trust. Lori believes channeling is not a mystical gift, but rather a skill that everyone can harness for better living.
Join Lori and Grandmother for this evening of channeled ancient wisdom where Grandmother will offer a teaching and then answer audience questions of general interest and benefit to all. Throughout the evening, 5 audience names will be drawn to ask personal questions as well. Get curious and see how paying attention to what seems invisible can change your life!
Come Grow with Us & Bring Your Friends! TO REGISTER, PLEASE RSVP lori@inneraccess101.com or CALL 519-824-6655.
