Ask Dr. Aviva: Prevent Migraines...Naturally
Upcoming Herb and Natural Health Classes from Steven Horne
In the spirit of the holidays, our gift to you this month is two
free webinars. Plus, we've got some great classes starting in
January.
Free Webinar:
Assessing Digestive Health Problems
Free webinar with Steven Horne and Thomas Easley
Dec 18, 9:30 Easter, 8:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain and 5:30 Pacific time
Digestive problems are the root cause of many people's health problems
because the digestive system is the first system to take a hit from poor
nutrition. For starters, problems with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are
usually the root cause of respiratory problems like allergies, asthma and
sinus congestion. Since 70% of the innate immune system is concentrated
in the GI tract, immune problems like yeast infections, frequent colds and
flu, autoimmune disorders and even cancer can also have their roots in
the digestive system.
The GI tract is also home of the enteric nervous system, which strongly
affects mood, which means depression, anxiety and other chronic
mood problems often have links to digestive health. Even chronic diseases
like arthritis, diabetes and osteoporosis usually require healing the GI tract
in order to see improvement.
In this webinar, we'll show you how to assess digestive tract problems
using tools like iridology, tongue analysis and overall symptom pictures
to figure out what's going wrong with digestion. We'll also provide a
basic overview of what's needed to correct these problems.
This free webinar is a preview for Module Eight of our Advanced Herbal
Training program, Herbs for the Digestive System. We'll also be doing a
special webinar on Leaky Gut Syndrome in January as a follow-up to this
topic.
Join us and learn how to improve your health by correcting your
digestive system problems.

Free Webinar:
Trauma Recovery: A Model for Healing
Free webinar taught by Steven Horne
January 3, 2013, 8:30 Easter, 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain and 5:30 Pacific time
I've got some bad news and some good news. First, the bad news. None of us
get through life without experiencing some form of trauma. The good news is
that we have built-in instinctive mechanisms for recovering from trauma.
Just as the body has the innate capacity to heal a cut or repair a broken bone,
the body has the ability to recover from emotional and physical trauma.
Unfortunately, most people don't understand the natural process of recovering
from trauma and actually interfere with it. This is why many of us carry
emotional wounds for decades, wounds which adversely affect our mental,
emotional, social and even physical health.
Fortunately, healing is possible if you know how to get your "head" out of the
way and follow the wisdom of your heart and body.
In this free webinar, Steven Horne, RH(AHG) will explain the nature of trauma
and how to naturally recover from it. Steven has more than 26 years in doing
emotional healing work and has helped hundreds of people heal from their
physical, emotional, sexual and endurance trauma.
Join us and learn what you can do to help yourself and others to greater
mental, emotional, physical and social well-being.

Practical Iridology Class
Webinar series taught by Steven Horne
January 10, 24, February 7, 28, March 14, 28, 2013
8:30 Easter, 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain and 5:30 Pacific time
This six-session class will teach you the all the basics of iridology,
a highly useful health assessment tool. Specifically, we'll be covering:
with the general and works towards the specific. You'll learn that you don't need to
pay close attention to every detail of the iris. Instead, you'll learn to group iris signs
and markings into body systems and rapidly identify what the weakest systems in
the body are likely to be. When you focus your efforts on these primary weaknesses
you are able to obtain faster and more dependable results.
Cost for this class is just $97. It's also free if you purchase our Practical Iridology
correspondence course. Go to www.treelite.com to register or call 800-416-2887.
Tree of Light's Associate Program Webinars
Tree of Light has an Associate program which includes two monthly
webinars. The first webinar, the Sunshine Sharing hour, is about a monthly
health theme and the second, The Holistic Perspective, discusses healing
in a broader sense, including emotional healing, personal and business
development.
Associates can not only download handouts for each webinar from the
member area. They can also download the PowerPoint presentations
to modify and use in teaching their own classes. The member area includes
an extensive archive of previous webinar recordings and handouts, too.
This is a great resource if you are building an herbal consulting business
or teaching people about natural healing.
In addition to the two webinars and access to the member archives,
members obtain discounts on all Tree of Light courses, books and other
materials. Learn more about becoming an associate.
Here are the upcoming webinars for Tree of Light's Associate program:
December 19: Drink Your Way to Better Health
Don't like swallowing capsules and tablets? This webinar will talk about
supplements you can drink, with a special focus on NSP's Solstic line.
January 8, 2013: How to Prosper During the Coming Demographic Winter
This webinar will talk about why the economy is primarily tied to the
demographics of the population than it is to what governments, banks and
big corporations do. It will discuss why the aging baby boomer population
will cause a general downturn in most segments of the economy except one—
health care. We'll discuss how this represents a valuable opportunity for
all of us involved in natural healing and how we can take advantage of it.
Cost for the program is just $19.95 per month. We now offer a free one
month trial. Start or stop at any time.

Food and Public Health Safety
----- Forwarded Message -----
From: Jeanette Poirier <herbalwizdom@hotmail.com>
I have copied this from the newsletter "Prevent Cancer Now". They have a website - http://preventcancernow.ca that you may be interested in.
This article reinforces what I have been saying about buying your meat, dairy and eggs locally, buying grass grazed, free range, etc., meat, chickens and eggs. Go to local farm markets and question the vendor. Local beef and free range chickens and eggs are delicious and more nutritious, as well as safer.
Jeanette
The latest recall of E. coli infected beef should be a concern not only for beef and beef products but also for other meats, cheeses, vegetables and water.
E. coli is a generic name for billions of such bacteria thriving in the alimentary canal of humans and animals. Their presence in food or water indicates fecal contamination. The consumption of any such food or water can cause deadly disease. It cannot become safe by cooking or irradiation. Irradiation of the end products, such as steaks, hamburger, etc., may kill microbes but it does not exclude their original source which is feces and urine. Irradiation of meat may also generate carcinogenic substances. All such food and water must be rejected.

Food and Public Health Safety
By Shiv ChopraThe latest recall of E. coli infected beef should be a concern not only for beef and beef products but also for other meats, cheeses, vegetables and water.
E. coli is a generic name for billions of such bacteria thriving in the alimentary canal of humans and animals. Their presence in food or water indicates fecal contamination. The consumption of any such food or water can cause deadly disease. It cannot become safe by cooking or irradiation. Irradiation of the end products, such as steaks, hamburger, etc., may kill microbes but it does not exclude their original source which is feces and urine. Irradiation of meat may also generate carcinogenic substances. All such food and water must be rejected.
Virtually every E. coli infection can be traced to the unsanitary conditions in which food-producing crops and animals are being cultivated, processed, transported, stored, and ultimately sold for human consumption.
Most food-producing animals these days are raised at mega farms, commonly called factory farms. From there, they are transported for thousands of miles to similarly large slaughterhouses without being fed or watered for as long as 48 hours. Covered in feces and urine, dehydrated, frozen and badly bruised, approximately fifty percent of them are reported to arrive there already dead. Moreover, the mechanized tools and procedures used to slaughter these animals convey their infection-loaded excreta into the meat and meat products for human consumption. Finally, the waste water from these mega farms, slaughterhouses, packing plants and other establishments gets drained into fields, rivers, lakes and wells. Reports indicate that every year approximately 36 million Americans and 11 million Canadians contract food-borne infections (of these, several thousand get hospitalized and die).
At the heart of this problem are the drug manufacturers who sell vast quantities of many different antibiotics to prevent minor infections in farm animals. Antibiotics used in this way destroy harmless microbes in the animals' alimentary canals and enable the development of antibiotic resistant "super-bugs", such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, etc. As a result of these problems, the European Union (EU) no longer allows large-scale use of antibiotics. By contrast, it continues to prevail in the U.S.A. and Canada with government approval.
Another cause for concern is illegal approval of sex hormones by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada in beef production. Beef stimulating hormones are recognized to be "complete carcinogens". In other words, they can initiate cancers and also promote existing cancers. In addition, sex hormones are known to cause endocrine disruption. As such, sex hormones can cause reproductive disorders, such as infertility, early puberty, drop in sperm count, etc. Like antibiotics, no such hormones are allowed in the EU to increase beef production.
Yet another concern for food safety should be Canada's approval for feeding slaughterhouse waste to food-producing animals. This is known to transmit BSE in cattle and CJD in people. Once again, any such use of slaughterhouse waste is strictly forbidden in the EU. The only other industrialized country allowing agricultural applications of antibiotics, hormones and slaughterhouse waste is the U.S.A., whose record on food safety is no better than Canada's.
At issue also are Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) attached to various herbicides and pesticides to increase agricultural yields of milk, meat, vegetables, fruits as well as ethanol. Ethanol's public safety is being questioned throughout the world, though not in Canada or the U.S.A.
These should be sobering thoughts for both Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. These government institutions cannot go on pretending that the Canadian food supply is the safest in the world when it is so frequently found to be unsafe. People have the right to know how their food is produced. The only sure way to know that is to conduct a public inquiry.

East West School of Planetary Herbology presents "part 2" of a FREE webinar with Benjamin Zappin, L.Ac, outstanding East West School graduate/tutor (and now master) herbalist-acupuncturist who has just returned from a couple weeks of harvest and play in High Sierra, including a great weekend class with Michael Tierra, and is excited to share images and insight into many of the medicinals he values most in clinical practice. Benjamin will explore the relationship between three commonly used plants from the Apiaceae family Angelica breweri, Ligusticum grayi, and Ozmorrhiza occidentalis and look at how they compare to related Chinese medicinals. Also covered will be a formula of herbs for the respiratory system that Ben found growing in a single field including Ambrosia artemesiifolia, Solidago, Xanthium strumaria, Verbascum thapsus, and Grindelia squarrosa. This class is sure to be visually stimulating and will undoubtedly support your inclusion of Western herbs in a Chinese herbal framework.

Upcoming Herb and Natural Health Classes from Steven Horne
It's September and it's time to go "back to school" to further
your knowledge of herbs, supplements and natural healing
techniques with the following classes from Steven Horne.
Advanced Herbal Training
Herbs for the Structural System
Webinar Class with Steven Horne and Thomas Easley
Dates: Sept 18, Oct 16, Oct 30, Nov 13, Dec 4
Time: 8:30 Eastern, 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain and 5:30 Pacific time
Cost: $127 before Sept 13, $157 thereafter
People get injured all the time and modern medicine does wonders
with treating trauma. Doctors can set broken bones, stitch up
lacerations and even do reconstructive surgery. What they can't
do is cause the tissues to actually heal. That's something the body
has to do, but it has to have the materials it needs to do it.
That's where natural healing can help. We can speed the healing
process in injuries, while easing pain and preventing or minimizing
scarring by using the right herbs and nutrients.
In this five session course, professional herbalists Steven Horne
and Thomas Easley will discuss 44 herbs that can heal wounds,
injuries, broken bones and other injuries, as well as help with
arthritis, osteporosis and other health problems affecting the structural
system. Each webinar is two hours long, so you get 10 hours of
quality instruction.

Free AHG Webinar:
The Hormonal Symphony:
A Whole Body View of the Endocrine System
Free webinar featuring Bev Maya
Sept 12, 7:00 Easter, 6:00 Central, 5:00 Mountain and 4:00 Pacific time
Reproductive challenges such as pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS),
and peri-menopause come in many different packages. No two people
seem to experience the same combination of symptoms. Additional
hormonal aberrations are common during this transition and may
compound the picture. Common symptoms may include but are not
limited to forgetfulness, irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia,
restless legs, heavy or erratic periods, sore breast, hot flashes, night
sweats, bloating, bowel habit changes and fluid retention.
And the list goes on!
When treating women who experience acute and severe PMS and
menopausal symptoms, the temptation to focus only on the
normalization of reproductive hormones with natural remedies
or bio-identical hormones is great. However, in many women, this
approach does not lead to the resolution of their symptoms long term.
Reproductive hormone imbalance is a harbinger of global hormonal
dysfunction. Since the body is an integrated organism, continual
dialogue between all endocrine organs (adrenals, pancreas, thyroid,
parathyroid, and ovaries) determine a women's sense of wellbeing.
The endocrine system also networks with the nervous and immune
systems while being nurtured and cleansed by the primary elimination
organs (liver, kidney and digestive tract) to complete the orchestra of life.
In this class Bev Maya will provide a detailed description and discussion
of the intricate endocrine connections between adrenals, thyroid &
parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries & testes. The key discussion will include
how endocrine dysfunction in a specific organ causes dysfunction in
the others. Clinical tips for treatment specific to menopause will be discussed.
While in university, Bev earned a reputation as a tenacious inquisitive driven
to make sense of nature through scientific endeavours. This reputation
has withstood the test of time. Today, as a practicing Medical Herbalist
and international speaker at medical conferences and colleges.

Here are the upcoming webinars for Tree of Light's Associate program:
Sept 27: Natural Solutions to Sinus Congestion
Sinus problems are the number one health problem in the United States
as far as doctor visits go. Unfortunately, sinus problems are typically
treated with antibiotics or antihistamines, which offer only symptomatic
relief at best, and actually cause more problems at worst. We'll explore
natural approaches to permanently relieving chronic sinus problems.
Oct 11: On Beyond Capsules
There are so many other ways to get the benefits of herbs beyond
just swallowing them in capsules. In this class, we'll discuss herbal
preparations that go beyond capsules (and tablets) such as
infusions, decoctions, compresses, fomentations, poultices, enemas,
douches and baths. Steven will be sharing some of his favorite recipes,
tips and ideas, as well as some success stories about using these methods.
Cost for the program is just $19.95 per month. Start or stop at any time.

Apiaceae's Powerful Parsley
 |
| Parsley Sauce |
This month, we are studying the Apiaceae (Umbellifereae or Carrot) family of plants and our homework is to try to incorporate plants from this family in our diet every day (e.g. carrots, parsely, dill, fennel, anise, cilantro, etc.)
One example Savayda brought to our class was this fabulous green sauce packed with so much healthy goodness from the Apiaceae family! Yesterday, I picked up a bunch of organic parsley with the intention of trying to create something similar to hers. Last night, I set up the blender and gave it a go while the parsley was super fresh! I'm pretty pleased with the results (recipe below) and I'm stoked to have another way to incorporate leafy greens into my diet!
Today, I mixed some lovely dill into my parsley sauce and spread it on a fresh salmon fillet.... OMG YUMMMMM!!! Check it out!! :)
 |
| Parsley Sauce mixed with dill over salmon. Served with light and dark quinoa and sliced tomatoes! |
---------------------
1 robust bunch of an Apiaceae chopped (e.g. organic parsley)
1/2 cup dijon mustard
2 healthy cloves garlic
3-4 Tbsp lemon juice (or less if using cider vinegar)
2-3 Tbsp olive oil (or a bit more if desired)
2 tsp honey (or to your taste)
Whiz in blender until finely ground sauce forms.
I had to stop the blender to squish the parsley down a few times to get it going at first. If it still won't blend for you, add more of the wet ingredients to give the blender something to work with.
Using parsley for this sauce provides a nice neutral base to work with. Add dill, cilantro or any other flavoured spice or herb to complement your meal. Try this sauce stirred into your veggies, drizzled over steamed potatoes, or mixed into your rice. It's super versatile and soooo tasty!
Please drop by and leave a comment or a link to your blog if you give this a try! I'd love to hear about your results!
Bon appetit!

Free Webinars and Other Educational Opportunites from Steven Horne
Register for the following free webinars and enhance
your knowledge of herbs and natural healing with Steven
Horne and The School of Modern Herbal Medicine.
Advanced Herbal Training (Free Preview)
Herbs for the Structural System
Free webinar with Steven Horne and Thomas Easley
Tuesday, Aug 14, 2012, 8:30 PM ET, 7:30 CT, 6:30 MT, 5:30 PT
People get injured all the time and modern medicine does wonders
with treating trauma. Doctors can set broken bones, stitch up
lacerations and even do reconstructive surgery. What they can't
do is cause the tissues to actually heal. That's something the body
has to do, but it has to have the materials it needs to do it.
That's where natural healing can help. We can speed the healing
process in injuries, while easing pain and preventing or minimizing
scarring by using the right herbs and nutrients.
In this free introduction to Herbs for the Structural System, Module
Eight of our Advanced Herbal Training program, Steven Horne
and Thomas Easley will discuss herbs, nutrients and other natural
approaches to speeding the healing of tissues after injuries.

A Holistic Approach to Blood Chemistry
Free Webinar with Kimberly Balas, ND
Monday, Aug 27, 2012, 8:30 PM ET, 7:30 CT, 6:30 MT, 5:30 PT
Blood work is an incredibly valuable tool for assessing people's
health, but there is a lot more that can be learned from standard lab work
than even doctors are aware. For example, when understood
properly, the blood reflects the quality of one’s nutritional choices,
the function of glands and organs, and how they relate to each other,
and the body’s response to physical, chemical and even emotional stress.
There are a lot of diet programs and nutritional advice out there,
but how can a person know what is going to be best for them?
The answers can be found by looking at the blood chemistry,
which gives us the information to really understand what is
going on in the body and what the body needs to balance itself
and create healing.
Register for this webinar and learn from Kimberly Balas, ND
how looking at the blood from a physiological, rather than a pathological,
viewpoint can guide a person to the right diet, supplements and
other natural healing tools they need.
