youve probably worn it, washedwith it and eaten it, and your petsmay have played with it, but you

may not have known it.It is some orm o hemp in its ber

or oil state.Hemp, known scientically as Cannabis

sativa L, is the non-psychedelic cousin othe marijuana plant. Te distinction o thetwo is this, according to www.industrial-hemp.net: Industrial hemp has low levelso HC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol)and high levels in CBD (cannabidiol). It isthe opposite with marijuana.

Marijuana is the owering tops and

leaves o psychoactive varieties o Canna-bis that are grown or their high HCcontent.

Hemp is one o the most versatile plantsin the world and is an ecologically-soundchoice because it requires no ertilizers,ungicides or pesticides. Hemp can also begrown organically because only eight outo about 100 known pests cause problems.Hemp is also a natural weed suppressordue to ast growth o the canopy, accordingto the Hemp Industries Association (HIA).

Hemp bers or hemp oil is ound inclothing, soaps, lotions, salad dressings,desserts and even dog toys.

oth itti actathd y HIA:

Hemp is among the oldest industrion the planet, going back more tha10,000 years to the beginnings opottery.

Presidents Washington and Jeersoboth grew hemp. Te ederal goverment subsidized hemp during theWorld War II and U.S. armers grewabout a million acres o hemp as pao that program.

Hemp seed is nutritious and contamore essential atty acids than anyother source, is second only tosoybeans in complete protein (but

more digestible by humans), is highin B-vitamins and is a good sourcedietary ber.

Te bark o the hemp stalk containbast bers, which are among theEarths longest natural so bers anare also rich in cellulose. Hemp blonger, stronger, more absorbent anmore insulative than cotton ber.

According to the Department oEnergy, hemp as a biomass uelproducer requires the least specialigrowing and processing procedureo all hemp products. Te hydrocarbons in hemp can be processed intwide range o biomass energy sourrom uel pellets to liquid uels andgas.

All sounds good, green and sustainable,right? So, whats the problem?

Te problem is hemp is not grown herein the United States. All orms o hemp areimported rom one o about 28 other coun-tries, primarily Canada, according to HIA.Te United States is the only industrializednation in the world that does not allow thiscrop to be grown, even though we are thelargest consumers o hemp in the world.

As the weather warms up in the spring,we all tend to emerge with a big listo outdoor to do items. Maybe its

going on hikes, digging up new beds or agarden, or dusting o your bicycle and takingit or a spin aer a long winter.

O course, aer a burst o activity, ourmuscles and joints let us know when weveoverdone it. It seems like the minute youresaying goodbye to colder weather, youresaying hello to muscle pain and sore, sti

joints. But beore you reach or aspirin oribuproen, you should know about powerul,eective and ast-acting ingredients that dont

harm your stomach lining, heart or liver likepain relievers. Plus, they actually help your

joints heal rom damage whether romyour most recent exercise or over time.

Te rst ingredient is curcumin. Tisamazing compound rom turmeric (Curcumalonga), protects you rom ree radical damage,dramatically reduces inammation and pain,and is a true desert-island ingredient i youhad to narrow it down to just one.

However, it is truly important that you ndthe right curcumin, because standard extractscan be difcult or the body to absorb. Tebest curcumin extract is micronized thatis, reduced to a very small size and blendedwith turmeric oils. Tis improves the absorp-tion and blood-retention time dramatically up to 10 times that o standard extracts.1,2Tis curcumin inhibits COX-2 enzyme activ-ity and stops cellular damage rom ree radi-cals two things that cause muscle pain and

joint damage rom exercise.

Te next ingredient you need or an activelie is boswellia (Boswellia serrata). Hereagain, its important to get the best extract.Youll want a boswellia that screens out mucho a compound called beta-boswellic acid,because otherwise, the boswellia can actu-ally increase inammation. So what youre

looking or is a boswellia that sharply reducesinammation but retains naturally higherlevels o another compound, acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), to really boostthe eectiveness o the extract.3-5

Boswellia is a perect partner to curcumin.It blocks inammation along the 5-LOXpathway and also stops damage to your kneesand other joints.

In act, a unique combination o bioavail-able curcumin and boswellia was judged tobe superior to the prescription arthritis drug,celecoxib (the generic o the brand name Cele-brex), in a clinical study o osteoarthritis.5

Te curcumin and boswellia combina-tion was better than celecoxib in relievingpain, walking distance and joint line tender-ness scores. Not surprisingly, efcacy andtolerability o the herbal combination usedin the current study was shown to be supe-rior to those o celecoxib or treating activeosteoarthritis. When it came to relieving

pain, 64 percent o those taking the hingredients versus 29 percent in the group improved to such a high degreethey were able to move rom having moate to severe arthritis to mild to modarthritis.5 Tese ingredients are more powerul pain-relievers they actually

heal the damage done over time to jointeven i you havent been active or some high-absorption curcumin and high-Aboswellia can turn that around.

Do j dc pa , oo!Along with high-absorption curcuminhigh-AKBA boswellia, you need an amacid combination called d,l-phenylalaalso known as DLPA.

Te d orm o phenylalanine inhibitbreakdown o enkephalins related togood endorphins which are assocwith keeping positive mood. It also relmuscle pain in its own right. Te l boosts mood-elevating natural chemicathe brain, including dopamine, epinephand norepinephrine.6-8 It cant be undemated how important a positive outlowhen it comes to dealing with inamm

positive change in your life.

Let Teresa Van Lanen help you tap intyour creative energy to balance your

life to its fullest, through: Workshops

Teleclasses Groups and individual sessions

To contact Teresa and to see what new eveare planned, go to www.makingartoflife.c

To live the life of your dreams, awakenthe childlike innocence of your authentic

self through the creative process

i you are struggling with having yourintentions coming to ruition, ask your-sel, Am I hiding?

We all have things rom our past that wemight not be proud o and wish tokeep to ourselves. In this exampleo hiding, the individual is awareand attempts to keep others rombecoming aware o these issues.At other times, issues or memoriescan be so deeply hidden that theindividual may not hold consciousawareness o them.

Either way that one hides romparts o themselves, there can be allkinds o ramications. Tese can be

seen by disease or medical conditionssuch as headaches, stomach or diges-tive issues, and liver problems, whichare common side eects rom hidingissues rom yoursel and others.

Sometimes even more devastating arethe emotional disconnections or issues as aresult o hiding. Tese can include anxietyand depression as well as mood swings andanger. Ultimately, having unresolved orhidden issues will aect your relationshipwith yoursel and with others and will aectyour maniestations and lie intentions.

Tere are several ways o addressinghidden issues; ignoring them is one way,using counselors is another and the use oenergy work such as Reiki is yet another.My new avorite is the use o SoulCollage.Te things about us hidden in the shadowscan come to us very clearly in a gentleawareness through this process. Tenurther detail can emerge as we are ready.

In Soul-C o l l a g e

participants useintuitive thought to select images that

speak to them in some way. In doingthis, participants stay out o their think-ing mind and into emotion and spirit.When images strike a chord, there is areason. Sometimes the images addressone or more hidden parts o personality.Just exposing these and bringing theminto the light will help release that energyholding you back and assist you in mani-esting what you desire.

People would comment on the creamy-peach smoothness o my grandmoth-ers complexion, and she would always

reply: Tats the Norwegian in me. Sure,heredity had something to do with it, as didher avoidance o the sun; and the countlessbeauty potions she used over her 94 years olie probably didnt hurt either or did they?

When it comes to the matter o beingconcerned about the dangers o cosmeticingredients, I reer to my Grams beautiulskin and her long lie, and I think: Cosmet-ics cant be thatharmul. But truth be told,a manuacturercan put just about anythinginto a bottle, market it as a beauty productand bank on the probability that the generalpublic is blissully unaware o the act thatbeauty products are not approved by theFood and Drug Administration (FDA) priorto making their way into the marketplace.

Te FDA has strict approval methods when

it comes to color additives used in cosmetics,but that should not be conused with believ-ing that the FDA approves cosmetics. Teresponsibility to guarantee that products andingredients are sae beore marketed to thegeneral public alls on the cosmetic manuac-turers. (www.da.gov)

In general, except or color additivesand those ingredients that are prohibited orrestricted rom use in cosmetics by regulation,a manuacturer may use any ingredient in theormulation o a cosmetic provided that theingredient and the nished cosmetic are sae,the product is properly labeled, and the useo the ingredient does not otherwise causethe cosmetic to be adulterated or misbrandedunder the laws that FDA enorces .

In a FDA Basics video on the saety o

cosmetics in the U.S., Dr. Linda Katz,director o the Ofce o Cosmetics andColors in the FDAs Center or FoodSaety and Applied Nutrition, commentson what she thinks is the biggest misun-derstanding about what her ofce does:I think that consumers think that we doapprove cosmetics and we dont weregulate in a post-market arena whatthat means is that we dont get to see anapplication or a cosmetic or ingredientbeore the cosmetic is marketed. But what wedo, is we look at the saety issues once it is onthe marketplace and well assess inorma-tion that comes to us rom the industry [and]consumers we go through the literatureto check to see about saety issues, and wealso do our own research [which includes]surveys o dierent ingredients or dierentproducts that are marketed.(www.da.gov)

Te Environmental Working Group

(EWG), a nonprot organization ormed in1993 that labors to use the power o publicinormation to protect public health andthe environment warns: Most people usethese [health and beauty] products without asecond thought, and believe that the govern-ment must certainly be policing the saety othe mixtures in these myriad containers.

ihave cared or and shared my lie withanimals (my kids) that have medicalconditions or the past 35 years. Te

number one question I have been asked is,Why do you do it? People wonder aboutthe nancial responsibility, loss o reedomin my lie, lack o sleep, many goodbyes Ivehad to endure, etc. I always smile when Ihear these words because peace and calmcome over me. Tere is only one answer, Itis my passion. I give them a chance at LIFE.It is one o the reasons I walk this planet.It gives purpose and meaning to my lie. Itis a soul connection or me, and I have an

energetic bond with each one o them oreternity. When I look at them, it remindsme that not all angels have wings.

In 2010, the Census Bureau estimatedthat there were 114,825,428 households inthe United States. According to the 2011-2012 American Pet Products Association

statistics, there are approximately 78.2million owned dogs in this country. Tirty-nine percent o households own at least onedog. wenty-eight percent have two dogs.welve percent own three or more dogs,which averages to 1.69 percent. Tere areapproximately 86.4 million owned cats.Tirty-three percent o households own atleast one cat. Fiy-two percent have morethan one cat, with an average o 2.2. Ameri-cans spent nearly $51 billion on their petsin 2011. Sixty-ve percent o this numberwas spent on ood and vet costs. Grooming,boarding, pet hotels, pet-sitting and day

care surged to $3.8 billion in 2011.

All too oen, terms related to caring orthe environment are interchanged and used inappropriately by those

Qs: I keep hearing good things about thePaleo diet. Is this really a sound nutritional plan?Asr: Teres no doubt that the Paleo diet is gettinga lot o traction in the media these days. Fans o this dietclaim that we should eat more o what our Stone Age hunter-gatherer ancestors ate, and that we should avoid grains,dairy and legumes because we simply havent evolvedto consume them. Tey also argue that the typicalWestern diet is largely responsible or many o the illso today, including obesity, heart disease and diabe-

tes, amongst others. Tis is certainly hard to dispute!Te Paleo plan is made up o meat, sh, shellsh,eggs, tree nuts, roots, ruits, vegetables and berries.Sounds pretty healthy on the surace, but the restric-tions mentioned earlier seem a bit impractical. Tere isan overwhelming body o research touting the healthulaspects o whole grains, low-at dairy and legumes. ManyPaleo diet ans are quick to point out that its the healthi-est diet out there; however, I would argue that we simplydont know how it stacks up against a traditional Asiandiet, a Mediterranean diet or any o the various vegetarianplans. And lets not orget the act that ollowing a true Paleodiet is almost impossible in our current environment. Wildgame is not widely available and most plant oods are notgrown in the wild either. Even those o us wanting to avoidas many processed oods as possible can nd it to be quitea challenge. In the end, the goal o consuming more o yourood directly rom nature is great, and it certainly beats thetraditional Western diet. However, some o the claims aboutPaleo are a bit ar-etched with little science to back them up,and you may nd it to be needlessly restrictive. Give it a shotthough, and see what you think!

hypothyroidism, or underac-tive thyroid, is a conditionthat aects about ve percent

o people over the age o 12 years,according to Journal o Clinical Endo-crinology Metabolism. Tere are manysymptoms o low thyroid, but the mostcommon are:

Brittle nails.Cold hands and eet.Cold intolerance.Dry skin.Elevated cholesterol.Fatigue.Hair loss. Inability to concentrate.Puy eyes.Low body temperature.Weight gain.

(Tis list is not an attempt to allow or diag-nosis o hypothyroidism; only your doctorcan diagnose this condition.)

I you are already being treated or lowthyroid, do you recognize any o thesesymptoms? I so, consider the possibilitythat your treatment isnt optimal.

Physicians usually measure SH to deter-mine i your thyroid levels are correct. ounderstand why this might not be the besttool to measure eectiveness o your thyroidtreatment, you need to understand how thethyroid gland works. Your body producesSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), whichraises your thyroid hormone called levothy-roxine, also known as 4. As your 4 levelgoes up, the body senses this and thus lowersthe level o SH. Tis becomes a balancingact where, i SH is high, 4 is low and iSH is low, 4 is high. Your active thyroid

hormone, though, is liothyronine or 3. 4travels to the liver and it is changed to 3.

Since doctors commonly use only SHto measure eectiveness o thyroid treat-ment, they oen miss a common problem.Many people will have adequate 4, butthey dont efciently convert 4 to 3.Since SH only reacts to 4 levels, measur-ing SH alone will miss this condition. Tebest way to measure this is to test moreextensively. Te additional tests recom-mended are a ree 3 and a ree 4.

Tere are many reasons why you may notcovert to the active orm o thyroid. Decien-cies in nutrients like iodine, iron, zinc andselenium are one reason. Another reason isi you are taking certain medications such asbeta blockers, birth control pills, estrogen,lithium and phenytoin. Other conditionsthat can cause poor conversion are aging,alcohol, diabetes, obesity and stress.

I you are a poor converter, there areoptions that can help treat this condi-tion such as getting just levothyroxine

(Synthroid, Unithroid, LevothrLevoxyl). Tese include desiccthyroid, liothyronine and compoucombinations. Desiccated thyroiessentially reeze-dried porcine thygland, so it contains both 4 andSince you are supplementing bothand 3, many times you will eel bon this medication.

For those who dont like the idtaking an animal product, thereother choices. Liothyronine (3available in tablet orm. Te problethat Liothyronine has a very short lie. (Hal-live measures how qua medication enters and is elimin

rom the body.) When you take liothyroit goes into the body and is eliminated

quickly. Tis means that liothyronine be dosed multiple times a day, oen 3times a day.

Alternatively, compounding allowsmaking a timed-release version o liothnine. When compounding it allows a pato take the medication only twice a day.

I you are seeing your doctor about thyroid, review the symptoms o low thyand circle any symptoms you have. Mtimes the doctor will say that the bloodsays your thyroid level is correct.

experiencing a breath session is the only way to truly knowwhat it is. Words cannot genuinely describe this powerul,magical, sacred and healing experience. However, hearing

what transpires during a session oen puts people at ease andencourages their participation.

Te rst ocus during a session is reminding the student totake deeper breaths. Once their deep breathing is more stable,the instructor then brings their attention to the last part o theirbreath, where their upper chest rises. Tese two steps orm waveso breath, oxygen entering the lungs and carbon dioxide and otherwaste exiting the lungs.

What happens during this experience is dierent or everyone.Similar to our ngerprints, our breath pattern is unique to us, as

are all o our lie experiences that aect our pattern. When weare scared, we tend to hold our breath, and this can sometimesaect our pattern permanently unless we are trained to change ourpattern through transormational breathing. With this amazingsel-healing tool, we can improve our breathing pattern with dailypractice. It only takes a ew minutes a day and consciously payingattention to our breathing to make lasting and proound changes.

Many people say continued breathing practice, acilitated andon their own, heals past trauma, helps reduce their anxiety, alle-

viates their depression, transorms their lives/thoughts, reducestheir use o inhalers, promotes clarity, deepens their meditationpractice, helps increase their energy level and much more.

Te people that benet most rom a breath session are open toexperiencing a bodywork session theyve never had beore.

Even chocolate milk can bea healthy beverage option or kids. Justbe sure to apply the same principlesmentioned above (namely, choose nonator low-at chocolate milk) and keep inmind chocolate also comes with extra calo-ries thanks to sugar. So monitor how muchchocolate milk kids are drinking.

As we are walking down the street, the sun hits something justright and a bit o shine catches our eye. Its natural; we benddown to see what caught our attention. Maybe its a copper

penny or maybe its gold. We all seem to love a bit o shimmer andbling. Tats one o the reasons why people who visit the mineralgallery are always drawn to the mineral specimens that have a bit osparkle. Pyrite, bismuth and chalcopyrite are the avorites.

As children, when we were out looking or stones to pick up, weall imagined that the shiny gold stones we ound were real gold.O course they werent, they were ools gold or known to us nowas pyrite. Pyrite can take the orm o mass, stalactites, granular,nodular or cubic ormations. It is a brassy gold color.

Pyrite is an excellent stone or protection. Carrying a piece o

pyrite acts as a shield to repel negative energy on all levels: spiritual,physical and emotional. On a physical protection level, pyrite willguard against negative energy created rom pollution enteringthe auric eld. Pyrite acts as a conduit to physical perection andhealth. It allows us to recognize the unolding o the universe asphysical perection in its purest orm.

Pyrite with quartz crystals is known as a stone o maniestation.When pyrite is ound with quartz or as part o a quartz cluster, it

amplies the energy o the quartz crystals. Quartz is a wondgenerator and magnier o energy, which is urther enhanced bpyrite. Te quartz and the pyrite create beautiul, powerul specim

Further, pyrite and quartz crystals assist with meditationthey help one achieve abundance in lie. Helping to attain hidimensional awareness, quartz with pyrite speeds up the progsion o the timeline on unication o one with other. Tis inclthose on this plane and with those rom the spiritual planes, aspaces and the stars. Tese energies help to produce golden wradiance, which in turn leads one to the understanding oprevious associations in past lives.

Adding a bit o sparkle to quartz crystals is hematite. Hetite is called a stone or the mind. It can help to clariy the m
