Dear David,

Happy New Year!

 Breathing
 Better Breathing can benefit you in multiple ways.

breathe By improving one's breathing and creating the correct internal and energetic balance, physiological changes occur through increased oxygenation, breathing coordination and nervous system balance. This affects the entire human organism and its billions of functions, including all of the subtle energy systems such as meridians, chakras and aura(s). See the list below.



Not necessarily in order of priority.

-THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
  • Gives you more energy. (chi, life force, prana, kundalini, elal vital, pneuma)
  • Reduces mental and physical fatigue
  • Reduces chest pains due to tight muscles thus the tension causing anxiety of "heart attack potential" is reduced
  • Aids in relief of many long term respiratory difficulties such as asthma and bronchitis
  • Reduces need for artificial stimulants and many harmful prescription drugs
  • Opens up the chest to make breathing easier and fuller which facilitates strengthening of the life force, emotional stability and mental clarity to feel more energetic, strengthen coping skills, increase positive energy and strengthen sense of self
  • Helps eliminate waste matter
-CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
  • Improves blood circulation and relieves congestion
  • Increases supply of oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body. Major organs such as brain, and eyes need oxygen
  • Eases the strain on the heart by increasing oxygen to the heart
  • Helps increase the supply of blood and nutrients to muscle, blood, and bones
-THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
  • Better breathing can calm or stimulate the nervous system, balance or unbalance brain hemispheres, depending on the technique
  • Improved breathing opens up and balances subtle energy systems affecting all the body
-THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
  • Diaphragmatic action acts as a pump to massage the internal organs, aiding their function. "Rest, digest and heal."
-ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
  • Helps push the movement of lymph throughout the body which helps eliminate toxic wastes and strengthen the immune system
-THE URINARY SYSTEM
  • Shallow breathing puts stress on other organs of elimination
  • Better breathing can reduce edema (swelling of the body) by eliminating fluids through the breath
-THE SKIN
  • CO2 waste is eliminated more directly through breath
  • Wrinkles can be lessened due to improved circulation and blood oxygen flow
-BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT
  • Relax deeper
  • Look more rested
  • Feel nurtured and open
  • Become more connected with one’s deepest core sense of self
  • Have more fun
  • Open up more to more kindness and being loved
-MOVEMENT
  • Relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension
  • Releases and reduces muscular tension that eventually may cause structural problems
  • Helps increase flexibility and strength of joints; when you breathe easier you move easier
  • Facilitates stretching of connective tissue, which prevents formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis
  • It invites internal sensing of optimal posturing
  • Releases and reduces muscular tension that eventually may cause structural problems


 


 The Scoop on Caffeine
 Is it the best way to start your day?

coffe There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.
- Bernie Siegal, MD

This month's habit will be a difficult one for some of you to conquer, but once you've done it, watch out - you'll be jumping out of your skin with energy!

Are you having trouble sleeping? Feeling nervous, irritable, agitated, moody, or a bit depressed? Chances are you may be suffering from an excess of caffeine and are using it to support an adrenal deficiency.


The consumption of caffeine has an adverse impact on metabolism at multiple levels. First, caffeine is an adrenal stimulant and can promote over-activity and increases production of cortisol (stress hormone). Second, caffeine increases the demand placed on liver detoxification and can deplete the livers ability to detoxify and eliminate hormones from the body. Third, caffeine has an adverse impact on gastrointestinal health. If a person suffers from metabolic alterations and is not willing to stop their intake of caffeine they will respond very slowly to treatment protocols. Decaffeinated products still contain 60% caffeine and are not an acceptable alternative. It is important to understand that a person's dependence on caffeine can be resolved if they support their adrenal glands and stabilize their glucose levels during the day.

Caffeine is not the only harmful chemical in your favorite cuppa. Tea contains dyes used to bring out the color of the tea more quickly, and instant coffee is made using more chemicals. These are present in decaffeinated tea and coffee too, so you're no better off. And remember many leading soft drinks such as Mountain Dew and Red Bull also contain caffeine.

No more tea or coffee doesn't mean you have to give up the social experience and your hot drinks. In most supermarkets and health food stores you'll find an assortment of healthy alternatives such as herbal teas. Try hot water and lemon slices. It is very refreshing and great for cleaning out the blood and digestive system. In Ayurvadic medicine this is used to disolve the amma (mucus) from the body.

A word of warning: cutting down will bring on withdrawal symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, muscle pain or stiffness and even some flu-like symptoms as your addicted systems cry for more of the drug. But if you hang in there the symptoms will pass in two or three days and you'll be free of the addiction. If it lasts longer than this, you need help in supporting and rebuilding your adrenals. We use the Metabolic Assessment form and Saliva testing to determine the state of your adrenals. You can download the Metabolic Assessment form on the link below. If you have 2's and 3's in Categories VIII and IX, you have an adrenal problem.

Coffee and tea can be good for you, if drunk in the right way. Firstly in moderation and secondly in its natural whole form. Sodas are not good for you. Let us put it this way. What do you breathe out all day long? Carbon Dioxide. What is used to make the bubbles? Carbon Dioxide. You're drinking human waste. Need we say more!

What coffee or tea should you drink? Whole! The coffee bean ground and plunged or percolated. The same for tea - whole and in the pot. Find out how the British make tea and make it like they make it. These have some health giving properties in them. But don't spoil it with milk and sugar, as this has been shown to inhibit the antioxidant properties present in both good tea and coffee.

Action Steps for the Month
  • Cut down or cut out your coffee and tea habit.
  • Go out and buy some organic lemons and herbal teas.
  • Throw away the instant coffee and tea.


 


 Calcium Supplements
 How do popular calcium supplements compare?

calcium Because it is unstable on its own, calcium is almost always found in nature as a calcium salt, attached to any one of a number of different stabilizing minerals. Most people think of salt as being table salt (sodium chloride) but in actuality, a salt, in chemistry, is any ionic compound composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic chloride (Cl−) as well as organic acetate (CH3COO−) and monoatomic ions floride (F−) as well as polyatomic ions sulfate (SO42−); they are formed when acids and bases react. So when medical authorities tell us to avoid salt such as in cured meats using sodium nitrate, they are looking only at the sodium and forgetting that the nitrate has a deliterious affect on the body. They blame it on the sodium, which is necessary for proper cellular function.

Most of the popular calcium supplements contain either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. In order to be used by the body, the calcium must be released through the digestive process.


Calcium carbonate (Caltrate, Tums and many calcium supplements) is one of the more concentrated forms of calcium, containing about 40 percent elemental calcium. It's also relatively inexpensive, making it popular with supplement manufacturers. The problem with calcium carbonate, however, is that the calcium molecules are very tightly bonded to molecules of carbon. In order for the calcium to be released into the blood stream, the body has to dissolve this calcium/carbonate bond.

Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the calcium in calcium carbonate is actually liberated by the digestive process and absorbed by the body. Low stomach acid can significantly affect the ability to dissolve the calcium/carbonate bond. People with normal levels of stomach acid may absorb about 22 percent of the calcium in calcium carbonate supplements. For most Americans, who tend to have less stomach acid, the percentage is even lower - about 4 percent.

Other calcium supplements (Citrical, for example) use a slightly more expensive compound call calcium citrate, in which calcium molecules are bonded to molecules of citric acid. The advantage of calcium citrate is that this bond is much weaker than the calcium/carbon bond, making it easier for the body to break down and absorb this form of calcium. Even people with low stomach acid can absorb up to 45 percent of the calcium in calcium-citrate supplements. The drawback is that calcium citrate contains only about 10 percent of elemental calcium, meaning that the number and size of capsules that need to be swallowed can be unmanageably large for many people.

According to current research, 80% of all American women do not get enough calcium in their diet. Unfortunately, they are blaming diet for the deficiency and ignoring the fact that properly functioning digestive chemistry must occur for the absorption of calcium. Isn't it funny that 80% of Americans also have issues with digestion. Is this a coincidence?

Taking a more absorbable for of calcium in the presence of poor digestive chemistry will have only limited benefit. Rather than trying to sell you another calcium supplement, Wellness Alternatives focuses on restoring properly functioning digestive chemistry to enable your body to better absorb nutrients from the food you eat. This is done by assessing the function of digestive organs initially using a Metabolic Assessment Form. Utilizing this tool enables us to design a supplement protocol specific to your needs. You can down load this form by clicking the link below. If you mark twos and threes in any of the areas you should call to schedule your consultation.

 Workout Goals
 Fit and Healthy for a Lifetime

fitness Have you ever asked yourself:
  • What is my physical potential?
  • Have I ever tried to reach my limits?
  • Do I feel strong in certain areas, but weak in others?
  • Am I quick enough?
  • Can I jump a few times without falling apart?
  • Can I run even a short distance without falling apart?
  • Do I know the difference between fit and healthy?
  • Do I like what I see in the mirror?
With the coming of the New Year, many are making resolutions once again to get fit, lose weight, eat healthy and make changes in their lives. Many have tried and failed, falling back on the patent excuses of "I'm too old", "I've got arthritis", "I can't do it", "I don't have the time." All excuses to justify failure. Why? The standard of excellence today is to look like Arnold Schwarzenagar, which is an unrealistic body type. We have forgotten what a functional body looks like.

In the past people were aware of the importance of a functional body and its effect on balance, strength and endurance. Training the body was focused upon exercises that mimiced daily activities. Failure was not an option. The Romans, Spartans and Greeks were lean and muscular. Being lean was a must. They built a lean muscular body through functional strength training.


Functional exercises work on body-balance, joints, and stabilizing muscles, and on the ability to adapt to control fatigue (the ability to control your fatigue while training and not letting fatigue control you). These exercise routines closely mimic the daily activities of ancient warriors.

The goal of a training program is to enable you to reach your body's potential and maintain it. What we call "body potential" is based on function - not fashion. The emphasis will be to activate and strengthen the most essential and functional muscle groups.

Exercising, training, and any other physical activity for that matter, whether competitive, health conscious, or not, should be thought of in a larger context - what works for you over the course of your life. A exercise routine will only be successful if you can live with it; it should energize you and help trigger an enhanced feeling of well-being to continually improve yourself.

Nikolay Ozolin, one of the fathers of Soviet sports science, recounts a fascinating experiment. If you touch the leaf of a certain species of mimosa, it folds. Scientists attached a microdynamometer to one such leaf, touched it, and measured the force it generated when it rolled up. Then they secured a thin thread to the leaf and hung a small weight on it. The leaf was touched a few hundred times a day to prod it to “lift weights”. Just like the Naked Warrior “grease the groove” protocol. The weight was increased daily. Only a month later the team measured the leaf’s strength again. It had increased 400 times! Not 400% but 400 times! “Why did I tell you this?” asks Ozolin. “So you would tell your students about the miraculous ability of every living thing to change and improve so you would give them the confidence in the possibility of achieving high athletic results. Quite often athletes who were considered unpromising at first achieved extraordinary results. They literally changed themselves by being persistent.”

Most peoples lives are a direct reflection of the expectations of their peer group. You must choose who your peer group will be. You can choose those who use excuses to justify not exercising or those who must exercise as a part of their lifestyle. The choice is yours.

Have you ever been in a nursing home and seen sixty year old people sitting in their wheel chairs, unable to move? What choice do you think they made? You are never too old to exercise.


Persistence is the key. The longer it has been since you've exercised, the longer it will take for your body to respond. Initially you fatigue quickly because you do not have the mitochondria (cellular power plants) in your cells to make energy for your body. The old adage, "Use it or Lose it" applies to more than just muscles. You lose the ability to make energy because the mitochondria shut down.

Therefore, persistence is key to regaining your health and vitality. Be patient, don't expect rapid change, and expect to be sore and achy when you first start exercising.

 Exercise
 What type of exercise should I do?

Exercise Does Not Consume Time
It Manufactures Time.


Our physical body is very important for our survival. We need a body to perform work and we need it to be free of pain, able to be efficient and effective at performing whatever tasks our mind wants us to perform. Our body provides a framework which our organs must work within. Any alteration in our body's structure will alter the function of our organs.


The damage from smoking was once thought irreversible but now we know that the lungs do repair after a person stops smoking. Your body is also capable of repairing. To repair and restore our bodies, the body work done at Wellness Alternatives includes massage and Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT). To maintain optimal body function after repair and restoration, exercise is key.

The following concepts are exclusive to Sacro Occipital Therapy. SOT views the body as interconnected and interrelated and because of this has a greater understanding of the inner workings of your body. The developer and founder of SOT, Dr. De Jarnette, guided Artur Guyton, MD in study of the human body. Dr. Guyton's textbook of Medical Physiology is the pre-emminant textbook in use in medical schools today.

In Sacro Occipital Technique, there are three Categories of body dysfunction.
1. Cat. I - respiratory
2. Cat. II - structural weight bearing
3. Cat. III - ligaments, connective tissue

Each has a slightly different but similar repair and restoration process and may incorporate techniques from other areas.

In exercise there are three classifications of exercise.
1. Cardiovascular (aerobic)
2. Weight training (anaerobic)
3. Stretching (flexibility)

Each having a slightly different movements but may incorporate movements from other areas.


Each of the Sacro Occipital Categories must be repaired, restored and maintained. Repair and restoration are done with the body work of massage and SOT. To maintain the body, exercise must be done. Each SOT Category is best maintained by a specific classification of exercise:
  • Cat. I with cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, cycling/spinning
  • Cat. II with weight or resistance training such as free weight or circuit
  • Cat. III with flexibility/stretching such as Yoga, Pilates, Stretching
To repair, restore and maintain your body requires persistence in giving your body the time it needs to repair, restore and maintain good health. Do what you can and be persistent with it.

An inability or dislike of a particular type of exercise may indicate a structural problem. To begin your repair and restoration, call Wellness Alternatives to schedule your appointment.

 Losing Weight Successfully
 Tracking Your Progress: The Benefits of Food Journaling

In 1997, the largest study ever done on successful weight maintenance was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The purpose was to identify the behaviors associated with long-term weight-loss maintenance. Researchers collected data on 786 individuals who lost an average of 66 pounds and kept it off for an average of 6 years (16% had maintained for 10 years).

Most of the dieters had been fat since childhood. Almost all, 91%, said they had tried and failed to keep weight off in the past. Many reported previously losing and regaining as much as 270 pounds!

The study illuminated several key behaviors that successful losers have in common. First and foremost was tracking their progress. 74% of the Masters of Weight-Control used food and activity records while they were losing weight, and 50% continued to track calories during maintenance.

Those of us wanting to incorporate more healthful eating habits into their lifestyle and/or shed unwanted pounds can learn from the habits of those who have been successful long term. You can only change what you can measure and food journaling is an excellent way to learn what you are actually eating so you can make the necessary changes.

If you would like a copy of the food journal Wellness Alternatives uses (which includes a section on emotional eating) just ask the next time you are in our office. Keeping track of what you eat is a healthy first step in making positive changes that you can live (and lose!) with.

For other great tips, check out the article on our website, GETTING READY FOR WEIGHT LOSS: TAKING A LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. (CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW) It contains a list of behaviors that may need to be addressed and questions you may want to ask yourself before you begin your weight loss program. changes.


GETTING READY FOR WEIGHT LOSS 


 What is proper breathing?
 

breathing There are many patterns of breathing that are beneficial. What most of us need to relearn is how to breathe deeply in a relaxed manner, especially when we are stressed or rushed.

The Basics of Breathing
  • Inhale for 4 counts through your nose
  • Push your stomach forward as you breathe in
  • Push the ribs sideways while still breathing in and note that your stomach will move inward slightly
  • Next, lift the collarbone and chest up with the inhale
  • Hold for 2 counts
  • Exhale for 4 counts
  • Allow the collar bone and chest to relax and the air will begin to go out
  • When the air seems to be out, push the stomach in to expel any remaining air in the lungs
  • Hold for 2 counts


-Other breathing patterns

For energy, do rapid!! diaphragmatic breathing through nose. Shallow, fast and make the belly move! Time yourself. Start with 5 seconds, then build up to 15 seconds and then to 30 seconds. Alternate this with regular breaths.(Also called the breath of fire in Kundalini Yoga.)


To relax, make your exhalation phase longer. Try 4 counts in, hold for 2, 8 counts, and pause for 2 counts. Repeat until benefits noted.

Sleepy? Reverse the counts. Inhale for 8 counts, hold 2, exhale for 4, and pause for 2 counts. Repeat until benefits noted.


If you are interested in more information and patterns to practice, there is a great audio CD by Dr. Andrew Weil. Click below for more information on: Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing (The Self Healing Series) [AUDIOBOOK] (Audio CD) by Andrew Weil

If any of these seem difficult, your breathing muscle may be contracted to compensate for structural instability. Have someone watch you breathe to verify that your rib cage is moving when you breathe. If your ribs are not moving, you may need structural balancing to allow you to breathe deeper. Contact Wellness Alternatives to set up an appointment with Dr. Dave.

 3 Little Things
 By Debbie Haikal

spinning
I would like to share with you my personal philosophy for improving my lifestyle and yours. It just involves 3 little things. You pick 3 things that you would like to change in your daily life and trythem out for 30 days. If they work for you, you keep them. If they don’t, you move on and the next month you pick three more.


My theory is that you will find one or two that are beneficial and easy to maintain every month. These are “keepers.” Some of you may be very ambitious on occasion and take on a challenge of larger magnitude. And that would be great!

Here is the beauty of a plan like this. At the end of 2007, you will have 3, 6, or 12 little changes that have improved the quality of your life. There is no consequence for trying. No negative thoughts if you decide it was the wrong timing or your heart is not in it.

Here are mine for January.

1. Breathe! Every professional, be it traditional, alternative, fitness, or spiritual has noticed that I am a shallow, non-breather. Hundreds of times I have been told to breathe. I have had exercises to breathe. I have had equipment to measure my inhalation and exhalation. I failed. I know the drill. Why?

After Dr. Peterson corrected my structural imbalances, my diaphragm was free to move. Now I need “relearn” to breathe deeply. I am going to practice 12 big inhales and exhales before I get out of bed in the morning. Plus, every time I am in the car, I will practice 6 more. It sure beats running in and out of doorways. Did you know that every time you pass through a doorway, you inhale? Try it.

2. This month, a 60 minute spin is a 60 minute spin. I love spinning. In the past, I have left the class 5 to 10 minutes early. If I take to time to get there and train, I am going to finish the class the way the instructor has it set up. I am cheating myself. NO more! Period. My favorite place to spin is Spinning in Brentwood. See www.stlouisspinning.com

3. My third “little thing” is to cut my caffeine intake in half. I am a huge Starbucks fan, despite knowing it is not good for me. Half is my goal for 30 days. I will have to see how I like this one, but I need to try. My adrenals need all of the support and care I can provide. Caffeine falsely drives the adrenals and contributes to adrenal fatigue.


So are you up for the challenge? What are the 3 things you can try EVERY MONTH?
Here are some suggestions to start.
  • Use sea salt. Throw out all other salt.
  • Eat at least one organic item a day.
  • Sugar. Avoid it. Pat Koebbe does. Or eat half only those items you rationally choose. For me, that means I would need to share Yia’s Yia’s chocolate soufflé with a friend.
  • Chew your food. Chew to the consistency of a smoothie, not salsa. This is one of our favorite tips at Wellness Alternatives. It’s free. It’s vital for digestion.
  • Exercise. Change it up or a make a new start for 30 days.
  • Suduko or a puzzle twice a week.
  • Have an online message sent to you that is spiritual or motivational. Try www.TheDailyGuru.com
Need more ideas? Call me. I would really like to hear some of your ideas and lifestyle changes. Email me and I will post a list on the next newsletter. dhaikal@wellnessalternatives-stl.com


 


 Resolve to Have More Health and Happiness in 2007
 By Pat Koebbe, DTR

The new year has arrived and we know it’s time to make some changes. You may have tried many things to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking to excess, or just have more balance and happiness in your life. But NOTHING seems to ever work for very long.

The answer may lie in your approach. Maybe you can’t think, figure, or reason your way to where you want to be. You can have a PhD in Nutrition and still have an eating disorder and reason can’t make most people stop wanting a cookie. Maybe the answer does not lie with addressing our thinking brain since so many of us try to figure things out and so many of us fail long term. We may be successful initially but then the stresses of life eventually step in and the desire for that food, shopping spree, cigarette (fill in the blank) always comes back and we end up feeling disappointed, depressed and/or numb.

The answer lies with addressing our feeling brain. The feeling brain is the seat of emotional balance, relationship intimacy, spiritual connection and all the red-hot drives to go to excess. When we use the skills necessary to retrain the feeling brain to favor a life of balance, the needs for all those excesses naturally fades. Using these skills can help to heal past hurts, stay resilient to current stresses, and follow through with ease on anything we want to accomplish. Please note that both the body and the feeling brain have to be in balance. Studies have since shown that emotions can originate in the mind and the body. While it is true the brain can affect the behavior of the gut, a malfunctioning digestive system may decrease levels of the body’s neurotransmitters (norepenephrine, serotonin, and dopamine). Be sure that your body is at optimal function so that you can retrain the feeling brain.

In addition to the health and wellness guidelines we advocate and teach, Wellness Alternatives can help you learn the skills necessary to retrain the feeling brain for a holistic approach to long term success with your goals. These skills are simple but life changing. Health magazine named this method “One of the Top 10 Medical Advances of the Year 2000.” Please contact our office if you truly would like to have more health and happiness in 2007 and beyond!
