6 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before
and as soon as you finish every workout Plan ahead of time what
you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma
KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTSIdeally stick to supplements that are third-party tested for
banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

DIV 2037839 ON
GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

6 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before
and as soon as you finish every workout Plan ahead of time what
you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma
KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTSIdeally stick to supplements that are third-party tested for
banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

ECO LIVING
Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

6 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before
and as soon as you finish every workout Plan ahead of time what
you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma
KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTSIdeally stick to supplements that are third-party tested for
banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce

been shown against ovarian

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

6 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before
and as soon as you finish every workout Plan ahead of time what
you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma
KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTSIdeally stick to supplements that are third-party tested for
banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before

you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma

banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression
anxiety gynecological concerns cold and flu

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in

been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

SANDWICH YOUR WORKOUTProperly timed pre and post-workout nutrition is critical to
maximizing each workout Be your own Head Performance Coach
(HPC) ndash Hydrate Protein Carbs ndash within the couple hours before
and as soon as you finish every workout Plan ahead of time what
you will eat and drink at each of these critical times
PERIODIZE TRAINING AND EATINGMost athletes play their best at a certain body composition not
too lean but not carrying too much fat either This is unique to each
athlete Learning how to eat more when you are most active and less
on rest days will give you energy to perform when you need it while
minimizing additional body fat
HAVE A BACKUP PLAN If you always have extra carb and protein sources in your
bagpurse car desk drawers etc you will never be without the
proper tools to fuel and recover Unexpected things can come up
before or after workouts that interfere with the critical timing of
workout nutrition Being able to quickly grab something like whole
grain bite sized cereal and whey protein from your stash ensures you
never fall victim to this dilemma
KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTSIdeally stick to supplements that are third-party tested for
banned substances Science based supplements that many athletes
find effective include a multivitamin protein powders vitamin D
fish oil creatine and glucosamine
SLEEP RIGHTExperiment to find out how much sleep you need to feel and
perform your best every day Some athletes go quite a while without
eating between dinner and the time they go to bed A high protein
snack (20-30 g) close to bed time is a perfect way to make sure your
body has good nutrition to recover while sleeping

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

As an Ironman triathlete and marathon runner I
understand the importance of fuelling my body to achieve
maximum performance on race day and through many
months of training In addition to ensuring adequate sleep
proper hydration and lowering stress in my life nutrition also
plays a critical role in my sports performance The following
phrases are true ldquoYou are what you eatrdquo and ldquoLet food be thy
medicinerdquo ndash that is why adding a naturopathic doctor to your
health care team is essential as we have special training in
nutrition and supplementation
Today we know there is no magic pill to enhance
performance and to be successful athletes must eat sufficient
amounts of all the nutrients not just protein Nutrition is the
process of eating and converting food into structural and
functional body tissues such as skin muscle and hair It is
required for growth maintenance of bodily functions repair
of tissues performance and health Different parts of the body
need different nutrients to function properly For example the
nervous system has different nutritional needs than muscles
do These differences must be taken into consideration when
we are trying to maximize our performance Here are some
general nutrition tips that are beneficial regardless of your
specific sport interest
EAT LESS FAT SODIUM AND SUGAREnsure you are eating less fat sodium and sugar Focus
on complex carbohydrates lean meats and fresh fruits and
vegetables Ensure you eat the following foods organic
peaches apples sweet bell peppers celery nectarines
strawberries cherries pears grapes (imported) spinach
lettuce and potatoes These are the ldquodirty dozenrdquo ndash the foods
that are the most chemically laden ndash and should only by
consumed organic
The next time you shop for groceries try shopping only
around the perimeter of the grocery store where real food is
Up and down the aisles is where you find processed
packaged wrapped food that is devoid of nutritional content
and vital life energy

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone

created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

SUPPORT YOUR ADRENAL GLANDSWhen you exercise you are stressing your body
Your adrenal glands are the ldquostressrdquo glands in your
body responsible for producing stress ndash related
hormones ndash it doesnrsquot matter if the stress is positive or
negative stress is stress I always recommend that
athletes support their adrenal glands when training
with one or more of the following vitamin C
magnesium citrate or glycinate and multi B5
FOLLOW UP WITH REHYDRATION AND A REFUELING SNACK
Ensure you follow up your exercise sessions with
adequate rehydration and a healthy snack such as
almonds cashews brazil nuts apple with almond
butter or a hard boiled egg Remember the rule of
thumb for water intake is frac12 your body weight in
ounces
For exercise sessions where you lose a lot of
sweat you will want to ensure your electrolytes are
replenished with a non-sugar laden drink The major
electrolytes found in the body are chloride
magnesium potassium and sodium Naturopathic
doctors carry healthy electrolyte replacement products
so consider adding something similar to your workout
regime

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin

stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

10 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
Whether you have a long way to go or just a few more pounds
to reach your goal we are all constantly in search of the miracle cure
that will finally make our weight-loss goals easy Unfortunately the
magic of weight-loss is not magic at all Despite the fact that
everywhere you look these days you can find information on weight
loss the only true way to lose weight is to lsquoeat less and move morersquo
But when you find yourself stuck in a weight loss rut there are a
number of different nutritional supplements on the market which
may be able to help you finally reach your weight-loss goals
RASPBERRY KETONESA powerful new fat-burning supplement that is becoming
increasingly popular after being showcased on the Dr Oz show is
raspberry ketone Researchers have found red raspberries contain an
impressive compound called raspberry ketone In the body this
compound increases the effectiveness of fat breakdown which
ultimately speeds up the bodyrsquos ability to burn and use fat as a fuel
Studies have also found raspberry ketone to increase a hormone
called adiponectin which is found to be naturally higher in thin
people Supplementing raspberry ketone is recommended as eating
the necessary amount of red raspberries each day is near impossible
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a mixture of fatty acids that
are often used to help decrease body fat CLA is naturally found in
small amounts in meat and dairy products however sufficient
amounts are rarely achieved with diet alone Supplementation with
CLA has great promise as a weight loss aid It is also known for its
ability to increase lean body mass and to decrease fat deposition
especially that hard to lose fat on the abdomen
NOPAL CACTUSAlso known as prickly pear nopal cactus is a stable in Mexican
cuisine The fruit can be used as a jelly or jam or cooked as part of
a meal This cactus is gaining a lot of attention as a potential weight
loss aid as it is thought to have the ability to trap both fats and
sugars during meals Therefore preventing fats and sugars from
being absorbed into the body Although more research is necessary
to confirm this theory studies completed so far suggest this cactus
might have unique abilities In Mexico this cactus is used in
regulating blood sugar levels and has great promise as a natural
anti-diabetic nutritional supplement
GREEN TEABurning calories through thermogenesis ndash the production of
heat ndash is how green tea is thought to contribute to weight loss
Caffeine found in green tea is the biggest contributor to its
thermogenic effects However some of its effects may be linked to
a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Losing weight
is all about the math Calories in must be less than calories burnedhellip

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

it is that simple Green tearsquos thermogenesis helps to burn more calories
Numerous studies have shown green tea to aid in weight loss as well as in
the treatment of cancer
While nutritional supplements have a place in healthy weight loss they
should never be used alone A lifestyle change is the best and only way to
lose and maintain weight loss long-term Eating the right foods in the right
amounts is the key to weight loss success Making sure your diet is rich in
fruits and vegetables whole grains lean proteins and healthy fats will
ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to survive When your
body is consistently getting the nutrients it needs it will no longer feel the
need to store food as fat Therefore you will be able to burn up those extra
fat stores and finally lose those extra pounds But donrsquot forget to move
Exercise helps to increase your metabolism and helps to change your body
shape Exercise helps to increase muscle mass Since muscle burns more
calories than fat the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn
each day If you find yourself hitting a weight loss plateau with diet and
exercise alone these nutritional supplements and many others may be able
to help you reach your goal

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine

useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

been shown against ovarian

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin

stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

Every extra kilo has its story Pregnancy a broken heart
tiredness worry overwork disease so many events that make us
take on poor eating habits Add the burden of guilt and we are ready
to find a quick fix a new diet fad Unfortunately the effect of yoyo
diets will be there too Moreover it is now established that a
restrictive diet will never be effective because the achieved weight
will not be maintained after this diet Actually everybody knows
that it is not the destination that counts but the path to get there A
simple change in eating habits and lifestyle provide the best results
We must therefore reconsider our poor eating habits and change
them for better ones for long-term weight management
CHOOSE WATER OVER SWEETENED BEVERAGESDrinking water before each meal has been shown to help lose
weight According to a clinical study published in 2010 middle aged
and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating a
meal ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during the meal Thus
drinking just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals could help
people melt pounds away Stop drinking sweet-tasting calorie-
containing beverages instead of water Water has no calories and
fills up the stomach making people less hungry The body of a
healthy adult contains about 60 water water is life
THE SLIMMING EFFECT OF HERBAL TEAS If drinking water discourages you or seems boring you can turn
to herbal teas or iced tea Some herbs are known for their actions
that help losing weight For example green tea is known to increase
energy metabolism it helps you burn more calories when at rest
Parsley has a diuretic effect known to improve the efficiency of
kidneys to eliminate toxins ndash a better way to look healthy

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present
Effective weight-loss products that safely combine
weight-loss ingredients are available at health food stores

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce

been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

HE WHO SLEEPS FORGETS HIS HUNGER Sleeping less than seven hours a night increases the levels
of ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) and decreases
leptin (a hormone that signals satiety) in our body By having
a good sleep you will reduce your cravings and keep a healthy
weight
DONrsquoT FORGET ABOUT FIBERWe already know that fiber is the key to support a good
digestive system and give the body the nutrients it needs But
do you know that some fibers help maintain low cholesterol
levels and a healthy weight The difference comes from their
solubility
Soluble fibers include pectin and mucilage Brought into
contact with water they produce a kind of sticky gel They
then contribute to the control of blood sugar levels improving
the insulin sensitivity and reduction of cholesterol in the blood
They are found in barley legumes oats seeds and some fruits
and vegetables A great alternative infused whorled mallow
leaves water and fiber at the same time Rich in mucilage
they also help improve bowel regulation
Insoluble fibers include cellulose and lignin They help
keep the intestinal tract clean and healthy by adding a mass
that helps eliminate waste They also contribute to rapid
elimination Oat bran is the most recommended
A NEW WAY OF SEEING VITAMINSAccording to recent studies supplements of vitamins and
minerals contribute to weight control and appetite Indeed it
appears that the brain would interpret the lack of calcium
vitamins or minerals as a signal of hunger and would then
encourage the body to eat more So consider your vitamin
supplements in a different way
HOW TO REDUCE THE GLYCEMIC INDEX OFINGESTED FOOD WITH BROWN SEAWEEDS
When the body gets too many calories at a time (within a
small time frame) it stores them up building up fat Some
combinations of brown seaweeds have shown beneficial
effects in the digestion of carbohydrates ingested during meals
For instance InSea2 (two brown seaweeds in a patented
extract) spreads the intake of those same calories over a longer
period of time by slowing down its assimilation The body will
seamlessly manage the calories by using it progressively No
more waves of sugar in the bloodstream or unbalanced sugar
levels Thus a feeling of fullness appears as if the meal had
been spread over the entire day In the end yoursquore reducing
your diet yourself over the period yoursquore using the product
since hunger is less present

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins

help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food

Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain

plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain

plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in

been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain

created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue

when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in

been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins

chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

18 HEALTHY DIRECTIONS JuneJuly 2012
By Lorna Vanderhaeghe MS
Our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt
Osteoporosis meaning porous bone arises when bone is broken
down faster than it can be rebuilt One in four women has
osteoporosis and one in eight men Bone fracture is a dangerous
result of osteoporosis Many people who have hip fractures as a
result of osteoporosis never get out of long-term care facilities And
hip fractures result in death in up to 20 percent of cases
Bone is a matrix that contains not just bone-building minerals
but also collagen which is the protein that makes our bones strong
and malleable If bone health were attainable with a simple calcium
supplement we would be seeing a reduction in the rates of
osteoporosis as women are taking calcium supplements in record
numbers But osteoporosis rates remain high
THERErsquoS MORE TO STRONG BONES THAN JUST CALCIUM
There is clearly more to strong bones than just calcium Vitamin
D3 for example is essential to calcium absorption unfortunately
research has shown that many people are deficient in this nutrient
particularly at northern latitudes and during the darker months of
winter Vitamin K2 meanwhile guides calcium into bones and
locks it in Without enough vitamin K2 calcium can lodge in places
that it is not supposed to such as in the breasts arteries and kidneys
(kidney stones) Calcification causes hardening of the arteries and
contributes to high blood pressure and calcium deposits in the
breasts
VITAMIN K2 MK-7 AND BONE HEALTHThe ldquoKrdquo in vitamin K comes from the word koagulation
Vitamin K1 is a blood clotter and acts very differently than vitamin
K2 Calcium in the bones and arteries is regulated by vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is associated with osteoblasts Osteoblasts are cells that
build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin Osteocalcin
incorporates calcium into the bones Without vitamin K2
osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body and proteins canrsquot hold
onto calcium without enough vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 redirects
calcium into bones
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF VITAMIN K2Vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7) from the Japanese food natto
is the best form of vitamin K2 Half of the vitamin K that our body
absorbs is from green leafy vegetables Unfortunately most foods

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

thought to be rich in vitamin K have less vitamin K than
previously thought Most multivitamins dont even contain
vitamin K and those that do donrsquot have enough To prevent and
treat osteoporosis supplement with Vitamin K2 MK-7
VITAMIN D3 FOR STRONG BONESAnother important bone vitamin is Vitamin D Vitamin D
is formed in the body by the suns rays on the skin which then
makes vitamin D3 As we age our bodies are less efficient at
making vitamin D so you must take a vitamin D supplement
Like vitamin K2-MK7 vitamin D is essential for calcium
absorption A deficiency in vitamin D leads to decreased
calcium absorption and increased excretion of calcium via the
kidneys promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as
osteoarthritis muscle cramps and twitching backache and
tooth decay It is important to choose the most active and
powerful form of vitamin D which is vitamin D3
VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN D2A December 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical
Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that the two major
forms of vitamin D D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3
(cholecalciferol) are not absorbed by the body in the same
way In 33 healthy adults taking 50000 IU of either vitamin D2
or D3 weekly for 12 weeks blood vitamin D levels increased
significantly more in the D3 group than in the D2 group
COLLAGEN BONE SUPPORT Yet another important component for your bones is
collagen Over one-quarter of all the protein in the body is
made up of collagen Collagen makes your bones nails teeth
and hair strong Collagen connective tissues run throughout the
body and provide structure for your skeleton tendons
cartilage and muscles all of which support your internal
organs and protect your softer tissues
Silicon is a trace mineral required by the body to make
collagen Specifically silicon is converted into silicic acid that
the body requires to manufacture collagen and elastin
Unfortunately silicon from food and herbs is poorly absorbed
resulting in a lack of the building blocks required to make
collagen Silicic acid in supplement form on the other hand is
used directly by the body to make collagen Silicic acid is a
fabulous bone booster Receding gums are an early indicator of
osteoporosis and dentists have reported that supplementing
with silicic acid stops receding gums
YOUR BEST BONE-BOOSTING SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM
To build strong bones combine an excellent calcium and
magnesium supplement that contains the right forms of
calcium such as aspartate glycinate or citrate along with
vitamin D3 vitamin K2 MK-7 and the collagen-builder silicic
acid

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression
anxiety gynecological concerns cold and flu

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression
anxiety gynecological concerns cold and flu

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce

been shown against ovarian

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

We all remember being young and carefree enjoying the sun
and playing outside without irritating skin conditions and the worry
of the damage the sun can cause to our skin For many of us those
days are behind us We still love the sun but now we slather on the
sunblock in an attempt to protect ourselves from the harmful UV
rays Many of us deal with skin conditions all year round acne
psoriasis eczema rosacea and cold sores The summer months tend
to make these conditions worse
You may have heard that sun can help clear up outbreaks from
eczema psoriasis and atopic dermatitis While this is true outbreaks
can also become worse in the summer because of overheating and
excessive sweating which can cause increased itching
VITAMIN SUPPORT FOR ECZEMASunblock does protect our skin from harmful UV rays
However it can also be irritating to those of us who suffer from
eczema especially if we choose the wrong type The following
vitamins help address the outbreaks beta carotene vitamin E and
selenium Beta carotene is necessary for the repair and maintenance
of skin and mucous membranes It also enhances the immune
system Vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage improves
circulation and repairs tissues Selenium is an antioxidant It works
synergistically with vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes
HERBAL HELP FOR ACNEAcne sufferers may deal with more outbreaks in the summer
months because the excessive heat causes our bodies to sweat more
Sweat contains toxins and other substances from the body that once
are inside the pores will cause your skin to break out The summer
heat opens up pores allowing dirt and debris to enter skin In order
to protect skin from toxins you need to cleanse your body
Dandelion root helps cleanse the liver and the blood of toxins and
balances the skin pH levels Sarsaparilla root cleanses the blood of
impurities
ROSACEA AND TEMPERATURERosacea outbreaks can be triggered by extreme temperature
changes The heat increases vascular dilation or blood flow and
causes the sweat glands to work harder This causes reddening of the
face along with bumps and pimples In order to address the
inflammation caused from the increased blood flow you need
ligustrum which stimulates the immune system decreases
inflammation and protects the liver Echinacea is also good for
immunity and the lymphatic system and combats inflammation
caused by bacterial and viral infections
SUMMER COLD SORE TREATMENTFinally cold sores are a culprit of skin outbreaks in winter and
summer People who suffer from these outbreaks may see an
increase in the summer months because the sun can be a trigger As
the cold sore clears it is important to keep the spot covered in
sunscreen or a lip balm with an SPF of at least 21 It is also
important to attack the outbreak from the inside L-Lysine aids in the
production of collagen and tissue repair and also effectively combats
the herpes virus which is the root cause of cold sores L-Tyrosine
is also a neurotransmitter which acts as a mood elevator and is
useful for stress reduction Stress often contributes to pre-existing
skin conditions

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year
my outbreaks were the worst theyrsquove ever been and it spread to
my face A friend recommended that I give a vitamin and herbal
skin support supplement a try So I did and my skin was clear
within six months I can finally enjoy summer without dread
Now I live my life without the embarrassment of flakes and
redness
I chose a skin support supplement that cleanses the blood
and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos
bacterial or viral I chose a skin support supplement that
balances pH level and improves immunity Once my skin
condition was clear I continued taking it to improve the tone
and texture of my skin and protect me from further
outbreaks

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain
LIFESTYLE COUNSELINGLifestyle counseling is the cornerstone
naturopathic modality Since 90 of all disease is
created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling
techniques Lifestyle counseling is frequently
used for stress anxiety depression and fatigue
This modality takes the individual into account
when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections
skin conditions digestive problems depression

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin

stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

A PERSONAL PSORIASIS STORYOn a personal note Irsquom a psoriasis sufferer and have been
for over ten years I always dreaded summer because I couldnrsquot
enjoy any of the activities I loved as a child like swimming
The chlorine in the water made swimming painful Last year

and liver of toxins cleanses skin layers gets to the root cause
of whatever is causing your skin condition whether itrsquos

Sunscreen TipsIf you work outdoors or if you simply enjoy lots of summertime fun and
recreation in the sun now is the time to get proactive with a broad spectrum
UV protection regimen
It is important to wear sunscreen along with other protective measures to
protect yourself from the suns harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays All sunscreens
have a sun protection factor (SPF) on their labels The SPF represents the
length of time that sunscreen-protected skin can be exposed to UVB rays
before a minimal redness (erythema) appears compared to the length of time it
takes on unprotected skinSince the SPF refers only to protection against
UVB it is important to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that also protects
you from UVA radiation also look for claims on the label indicating the
product is resistant to removal (eg water resistant very water resistant
waterproof)
The suns UVB rays are intense and are the primary cause of sunburn The
suns UVA rays are less intense but unlike UVB rays UVA rays can pass
through window glass and penetrate into deeper layers of the skin They are
believed to contribute to premature skin aging as well as the risk of skin
cancer

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy

prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins

help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side

that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

Naturopathic medicine is a form of medicine that uses natural
therapies in order to help people achieve optimal health in all facets
of life Naturopaths address the root cause of illness and focus on
prevention as well as promoting wellness Naturopaths treat a
variety of concerns chronic and acute
The philosophy of naturopathic medicine is to treat from the
root cause and not to suppress symptoms of disease
Naturopathic doctors are the general practitioners of alternative
medicine Throughout their 4 year training at an accredited
naturopathic medical school they are taught to use several different
modalities such as homeopathy herbal medicine nutrition
acupuncture chiropractic manipulation massage and hydrotherapy
and lifestyle counseling They use modalities most suited to the
patient
Many people often wonder about the difference between a
medical doctor and a naturopath Naturopaths usually spend 15
minutes to an hour with a patient and address the patient in their
entirety They are trained to interview the patient taking into
account their mind body and spirit in order to deliver an effective
and holistic treatment plan To get a better picture of how treatment
may differ between patients look at the example of two patients
with diabetes Two people with diabetes may have completely
different reasons for developing the disease One may have
developed it because they need to be educated on diet and lifestyle
and another may develop diabetes because they lead a very stressful
lifestyle and are unable to commit to better lifestyle choices
Both naturopaths and medical doctors complete physical
examinations Naturopaths are not able to prescribe prescription
medication but are trained to recognize when a patient may need
stronger interventionNaturopathic doctors are also licensed to
perform acupuncture as part of their training as well as address diet
and lifestyle
BOTANICAL MEDICINEBotanical medicine has been used for thousands of years to
treat many different ailments Many allopathic medications are
derived from plants such as aspirin which is from white willow
bark In naturopathic medicine the roots leaves and stems of a plant
are used to treat patients Therapy may be given in the form of tea
oils tinctures creams and supplements
It is important before using a herb for treatment to contact your
health care provider Some botanicals may interact with medication
or cause an allergic response Also many botanicals have a
therapeutic value or dosage which is needed in order to have a

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain

plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

therapeutic effect Therefore it is
best to visit a health care
practitioner that is knowledgeable
in the field of botanical medicine
TCMThe art of traditional chinese
medicine (tcm) has been practiced
for more than 2000 years It
incorporates acupuncture dietary
therapy botanical medicine
massage and exercise
Many naturopaths frequently
use acupuncture in their practice
Acupuncture is the use of needles
to stimulate Qi (pronounced
ldquochirdquo) Qi is energy flowing along
meridians which are likened to
highways in the body When the
energy in the meridian is stagnant
it may create problems such as
menstrual difficulties headache
pain mood disorders and other
problems Needles are placed in
points along the meridians to
stimulate Qi and create a smooth
flow of energy
NUTRITION Nutrition is important for
prevention and treatment of
disease A healthy diet supplying
the maximal amount of vitamins
minerals and anti-oxidants will
help people with chronic illness
and prevent future illness
Naturopaths may counsel on
specific diets for food
sensitivities mood disorders
headaches and other conditions
Furthermore specific
foods help with certain diseases
such as green leafy vegetables for
iron deficiency anemia A
naturopath usually asks patients
for a detailed diet diary in order
to assess deficiencies and
excesses in a their diet
Supplementation may also be
recommended for people who are
not able to attain high amounts of
vitamins minerals amino acids
or anti-oxidants from food Plenty
of literature supports the usage of
supplements in order to achieve
therapeutic effect
PHYSICAL MEDICINEPhysical medicine refers to the use of
massage physiotherapy ultrasound chiropractic
and hydrotherapy It is often used to restore
balance in joints and soft tissue This modality is
frequently used for people with pain sports
injuries and muscle strain

created by stress lifestyle counseling is very
important NDs are trained to assess mental
health status as well as provide counseling

when prescribing treatment protocols
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINEHomeopathy uses very minute quantities of
plants mineral and animal substances in order to
stimulate the bodyrsquos ability to heal itself
Homeopathy is used to help the body reach a
balanced state It is used to help correct
imbalance rather than suppress symptoms of
disease Homeopathic remedies are commonly
used for digestion issues allergies infections

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming
ESSENTIAL OIL INSECT REPELLENTList of carrier substances olive oilsunflower oil vodka witch hazelList of insect repellent essential oils

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

Summertime brings sunshine flowers
and mosquitoes Insect repellent spray is
commonly used to ward off those pesky
critters and the itching allergic reactions
and possible exposure to West Nile Virus
that can come along with a mosquito bite
Although it is important to protect against
the potential harmful effects of mosquito
bites it is also important to protect ourselves
from unnecessary exposure to harmful
chemicals
WHAT IS DEETA common chemical found in insect
repellents is NN-diethyl-m-toluamide also
known as DEET When DEET is applied
directly onto the skin it can be absorbed into
the body Potential reactions include skin
rashes lethargy muscle spasms nausea
irritability insomnia and seizures DEET
toxicity symptoms can be avoided by using
essential oils as an alternative
AVOID TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS Keep spray off of the face and out of
the eyes Donrsquot spray repellent on childrenrsquos
hands because they are likely to rub their
eyes and put their hands in their mouths
Wear long-sleeved clothing and apply
repellent on the fabric rather than on the
skin Use a product with a lower concentration
of DEET on small children and if pregnant
Children age two and younger should not have
insect repellent applied to their skin more than
once in a 24-hour period Wash repellent off
your skin after the risk of being bitten is gone
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OILAn essential oil is extracted from a
plant and highly concentrated They must be
diluted before used topically because they
are toxic if ingested If ingestion occurs call
your doctor immediately Essential oil insect
repellents may not last as long and may need
to be reapplied more frequently than DEET
containing insect repellents especially after
exercise and swimming

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of

Recent research has promoted milk thistle to one of the
most promising anticancer agents The lone voices that caution
concern over hormonal risks of milk thistle for breast cancer are
refuted by the fact milk thistle components have been effective
against estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines and against
ovarian cancer cell lines which are also estrogen sensitive and
by the fact that though other parts of the plant may have
estrogenic effects the seeds ndash the part used in herbal products ndash
do not Studies that supposedly infer an increased cancer risk
due to increased prolactin in fact deduce the opposite because
milk thistle did not increase prolactin until it reached doses 56-
85 times in excess of the dose used demonstrating its lack of
hormonal effect at anything approximating a normal dose
Even the most conservative institutions are excited about
milk thistle The National Cancer Institute says that ldquo[h]uman
studies of silymarin have shown minimal adverse effects in
multiple large blinded placebo-controlled randomized trialsrdquo
This most conventional of cancer institutes even declares this
herb may actually make the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin
and cisplatin work better against breast and ovarian cancer and
that it may even have direct anticancer activity against breast
prostate and cervical cancer
Not only do components of milk thistle make cisplatin
work better against ovarian cancer cell lines when they are
added to cisplatin they even make it work on ovarian cancer
cells that were resistant to its effect Milk thistle components
also made doxorubicin work on breast cancer cell lines that
were resistant to the drug alone Components of milk thistle
boost doxorubicinrsquos ability to inhibit the growth of prostate
cancer cell lines and powerfully increase apoptosis
Components of milk thistle enhance the effect of doxorubicin
and carboplatin against estrogen-dependent and independent
breast cancer cell lines
Milk thistle can also protect against the ravaging side
effects of chemo It has prevented the kidney cell damage of
vincristine in vitro the heart toxicity of doxorubicin and the
kidney and liver toxicity of cisplatin In a double-blind
placebo-controlled study of children with ALL the most
common type of childhood leukemia milk thistle protected the
liver from chemo damage
In addition to enhancing the effects of chemo and
protecting against its side effects there is promising evidence
that milk thistle possesses direct anticancer activity on its own
Several in vitro studies show that components of milk thistle
protect breast cells against cancer including a recent study that
showed strong induction of apoptosis and concluded that
ldquosilibinin might be an important supplemental agent for treating
breast cancerrdquo Components of milk thistle have also been
shown to suppress cancer cell growth and activate apoptosis in
prostate cancer cell lines They have also been shown to inhibit
proliferation of colon cancer and lung cancer and to inhibit

proliferation and induce
apoptosis in liver cancer in
vitro Anticancer effect has also
been shown against ovarian
cervical skin tongue bladder and
kidney cancer Summarizing the
anticancer effect of milk thistle
researchers have pointed out that silymarin
prevents cancer in many different ways at all the
stages of cancer They identify its actions as
including anti-inflammatory activity induction of
apoptosis anti-angiogenesis anti-metastatic and
antioxidant

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals

test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The

Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the

Save Money and the Environment with
Solar Water HeatingBy Nani Pradeepan PEng
Using the sunrsquos energy (solar) to heat water is a more than one-
hundred-years-old technique Started with black colour water tanks
solar water heating technology has improved dramatically during
recent years Use of modern solar water heaters is very common in
China India and Germany In some countries like Israel it is law to
install solar water heaters on every newly constructed home
The most common solar water heating applications are service
water heating and swimming pool water heating Currently most of
our hot water heaters in Canada use natural gas (90) or electricity
Hot water used in laundry showers and dishes account for up to
20 of a domestic energy use In a year a 80-gallon electric water
heater uses about 4800 kWh of electricity and costs around $500 to
run This also results in the release of about 6600 pounds of CO2
into the atmosphere Using solar energy to heat the water is an
excellent way to reduce pollution this can prevent about 2 tons a
year of greenhouse gas emissions
TYPES OF SOLAR COLLECTORS SUITABLE FOR OUR CLIMATE IN CANADA
FLAT-PLATE COLLECTORS These are metal boxes with glass covers called glazing on top
and a darkcolored ldquoabsorber platerdquo covering a system of pipes
underneath them Sunlight passes through the glazing and is
collected by the absorber plate which converts the sunlight into heat
that is passed on to the liquid in the system of pipes The advantage
of this type of collector is the pricemdashitrsquos cheaper than evacuated
tube collectors
EVACUATED-TUBE COLLECTORSThese are like open-ended thermoses these collectors consist of
individual glass vacuum tubes surrounding a secondary inner tube
through which the liquid or heat transfer fluid flows The evacuated-
tube model works somewhat better than the flat-plate model in cold
climates
UNGLAZED COLLECTORSThese are usually made of black plastic or rubber that has been
stabilized to withstand ultraviolet light Since these collectors have
no glazing a larger portion of the Suns energy is absorbed Because
they are not insulated these collectors are best suited for use during
warm months with above freezing temperatures and the demand
temperature is below 30degC The primary market for unglazed
collectors is outdoor swimming pool heating
Solar water heating systems use one of the above solar
collectors to convert the sunrsquos energy into heat and transfer it to the
load usually to a storage tank or a swimming pool with the help of
pump control and safety equipment Properly designed solar water
heaters can work when the outside temperature is well below
freezing Solar hot water systems also have a back-up heater to
ensure that all of your hot water needs are met even on cloudy days

BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER HEATERSThe benefits of solar water heating are numerous First you
save money on your utility bill The amount you save will depend
on many factors including how much hot water you use your
systemrsquos performance sunlight in your area and the local cost of
conventional fuels On average your bill should decrease by
between 50 and 70 percent in service water heating applications
and 70 to 100 percent in swimming pool heating applications
This saving also corresponds to the percent reduction in
traditional energy use This means 50 - 100 percent reduction in
CO2 emissions depending on the application Installing a solar
water heater reduces your hot-water carbon footprint of your
home
Because of the benefits of solar water heating adding a solar
water heating system to your home also increases its value So
you could end up getting back whatever money you put into a
solar heating system when you sell your house Primary barrier to
wide spread use of solar water heating is people unfamiliarity
with solar water heating
WHICH SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE QUICKEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Depending on the type of system you choose a solar water
heater can cost from $3000 to $6000 in residential application
and begins paying for itself right away with your reduced energy
bills
A solar domestic water heating system can be a straightforward retrofit
to most homes and can typically provide over 50 of the annual
domestic hot water needs Projected life of these systems is about 25 to
40 years and pay for themselves in around 3 - 10 years depending on
the type solar water heater Quicker payback periods are possible with
incentives from local rebates and tax credits from local governments
When used in places like carwashes where hot water usage is high year
around solar hot water systems can pay for themselves under 7 years
Solar pool heaters have the quickest payback of all the solar water
heaters Solar pool heaters pay back in about three years Solar
swimming pool heaters also have another indirect advantage of
healthier life through expanded use of swimming pool
All in all when you invest in solar water heater you will not only enjoy
good return on your money but also enjoy healthier life and create
healthier environment for your future generations

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
It is now thought that HGH is so comprehen-sive in its healing and regenerative powersthat it is today where the computer industrywas twenty years ago that it will displace somany prescription and non-prescription drugsand health remedies that it is staggering tothink of
The president of BIE Health Products statedin a recent interviewldquoIrsquove been waiting forthese products since the 70rsquosrdquo We knew theywould come if only we could stay healthy and live long enough to see them If you wantto stay on top of your game physically andmentally as you age this product is a boonespecially for the highly skilled professionalswho have made large investments in their education and experience Also with the stateof the health care system in Canada whichappears to be going into serious decline itrsquosmore important than ever to take pro-activesteps to safeguard your health Continued useof GHR will make a radical difference in yourhealth HGH is particularly helpful to theelderly who given a choice would rather stayindependent in their own home strong healthyand alert enough to manage their own affairsexercise and stay involved in their communi-ties Frank age 85 walks two miles a day plays golf belongs to a dance club for seniors had a girl friend again and doesnrsquot need Viagara passed his drivers test and is hardly ever home when we call - GHR delivers

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

Although still unfamiliar to many the South American
antioxidant superfood maqui berry Aristotelia chilensis is finally
starting to receive the global attention it so richly deserves Maqui
(pronounced mah-kee) is an evergreen shrub native to the
Valdivian temperate rainforests of Chile and adjacent regions of
southern Argentina The maqui plant has toothed leaves and
greenish-white flowers that yield an edible fruit (maqui berry)
These small purple-black berries are approximately 4-6 mm in
diameter Maqui berry is also known as the Chilean wineberry as it
is used to colour wine in Chile
Maqui is traditionally used for improving digestion and
increasing energy and stamina It supports the elimination of wastes
and toxins from the body and has appetite-suppressant properties
making it useful as a weight management superfood It has also been
used traditionally to treat dermatological conditions
Maqui berries are extremely rich in antioxidant properties
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals (damaging
compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and
radiation) The process of free radical generation can reduce the
ability of cells to produce energy change their genetic material and
even cause them to burst when there is significant damage to cell
membranes Free radical damage causes most of the changes we
associate with aging and it can lead to inflammation cardiovascular
and nervous system damage weakened immune function and even
cancerous changes in cells
Antioxidants are able to stabilize free radicals They come in
many forms a common form being phytonutrients (chemicals
produced by plants that are food sources) The amount of
antioxidant activity in a food or supplement can be determined by a
test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) The
higher the ORAC score the more potent the antioxidant activity
Incredibly reputed food scientists rate maquirsquos ORAC to be the
highest among all berries The particular antioxidant compounds
that are found in abundance in the maqui berry are mainly flavonoid
compounds known as anthocyanins and polyphenols Anthocyanins
have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant
chemicals and have been found to have the strongest antioxidant
activity of any flavonoids They are responsible for the bright and
often deep colouration of the plants in which they occur and act as
natural sunscreens giving protection from the sunrsquos radiation They
also protect the plants containing them from biological threats such
as bacteria fungi and parasitesWhen ingested by humans
anthocyanins provide anti-aging effects promote cardiovascular
health reduce the likelihood of cancerous degeneration in cells
reduce allergic responses and support healthy sugar-insulin
metabolism
The polyphenols in maqui berry can also help reduce unhealthy
inflammation promote cardiovascular health offer additional
protection against cancerous changes and provide even more anti-
aging impact Maqui has a deliciously unique and exotic flavour that
is both subtly tart and sweet at once Look for organic freeze dried
maqui powder for optimal purity and antioxidant protection Freeze
drying results in a product ten times more concentrated than regular
drying and protects the compounds within the berry from any heat
damage

GHR
From the landmark book Grow Young withHGH comes the most powerful over-the-counter health supplement in the history ofman Human growth hormone was first discovered in 1920 and has long been thoughtby the medical community to be necessaryonly to stimulate the body to full adult sizeand therefore unnecessary past the age of 20Recent studies however have overturned thisnotion completely discovering instead that thenatural decline of Human Growth Hormone(HGH) from ages 21 to 61 (the average age atwhich there is only a trace left in the body)and is the reason why the body ages and failsto regenerate itself to its 25 year-old biological age
Like a picked flower cut from the source wegradually wilt physically and mentally andbecome vulnerable to a host of degenerativediseases that we simply werenrsquot susceptible to in our early adult years
Modern medical science now regards aging asa disease that is treatable and preventableand that ldquoagingrdquo the disease is actually a compilation of variousdiseases and pathologies like a risein blood glucose and pressure todiabetes skin wrinkling and so on
There is a receptor site in almost every cell in the human body for HGH so its regenerative and healing effects are verycomprehensive
Growth Hormone first synthesized in 1985under the Reagan Orphan drug act to treatdwarfism was quickly recognized to stopaging in its tracks and reverse it to a remarkable degree Since then only the lucky and the rich have had access to it at the cost of $10000 US per year
The next big breakthrough was to come in 1997 when a group of doctors and scientistsdeveloped an all-natural source product whichwould cause your own natural HGH to bereleased again and do all the remarkablethings it did for you in your 20rsquos Now available to every adult for about the price of a coffee and donut a day
The new HGH releasers are winning convertsfrom the synthetic HGH users as well sinceGHR is just as effective (for anti-aging) is oral instead of self-injectable and is veryaffordable
GHR is a natural releaser has no known sideeffects unlike the synthetic version and has noknown drug interactions Progressive doctors admit that this is thedirection medicine is going to get the body toheal itself instead of employing drugs GHR is truly a revolutionary paradigm shift inmedicine and like any modern leapfrogadvance many others will be left in the dustholding their limited or useless drugs andremedies
