From Genevieve, 1st July, 2008. Hi, there! I'm really enjoying your site and my membership--you're helping me to work with my food issues and still enjoy eating! Thank you!
I was wondering if you knew of any instant gluten flours that are free of potato (and dairy, which I'm sure won't be a problem)?

Thanks again--keep up the good work!
Genevieve

Reply from Sandra Strom, 1st July, 2008. Hi Genevieve. Thank you for your supportive words. It is always great to get the feedback about how our work is benefiting you. And you are most welcome! We love the interaction.

Reply from Sandra Strom, CEO
Hi Genevieve,

Thank you for your very supportive words. It is always great to get the feedback about how our work is benefiting you. And you are most welcome! We love the interaction.

The following is copied from The Forum on the website regarding questions asked about gluten and potato. The gluten tested so far has tested positive for potato because it is used as an additive with the wheat. I don't believe it makes a difference whether it is instant or not. It would be helpful if you could send in a sample to be tested. Dairy...Again, it would be best to submit the product in question for one of the doctors to test. Let me know if this helps. Wish I could give you better news. I am in the same "Potato" boat.

Posted from The Forum:
Gluten is not in potato, and potato is not in gluten. Gluten is in several grains: wheat, barley, rye, corn, oats. Potato flour is often used as a substitute for gluten containing flours.
...all gluten that is added to wheat flour is a potato starch. Dr. Zeff

…A good baking whole wheat flour will contain its own gluten and none will be needed in addition to make a nice raised loaf of bread. Wheat Montana flour has high natural gluten content and does well, with either their Prairie Gold (hard white wheat) or their Bronze Chief (hard red wheat). A pastry flour, as in a soft white wheat, doesn't have enough protein or gluten for good bread but is lighter and often used for finer pastries, bagels, English muffins or pie crusts.

Further response to Dr. Zeff's answer by Dr. Watrous:
Flour naturally contains gluten, this is true. Potato starch is only carbohydrates and contains no gluten...however, the gluten protein they add to baking flour contains potato starch as a filler. I don't know of any baking gluten that is added to bread that is not potato. Hope this helps. Dr. Tish

From Jeanette, 29th July 2008. Hello Sandra, I have a fruit question – strawberries. Since they are considered a flower - are they still a fruit? Thanks much - trying to find something refreshing to eat this summer.

Reply from Sandra Strom, 29th July 2008. Oh yes! Strawberries are definitely fruit. It is a berry. There are wonderful melons available now. Find what is able to be grown locally in your area, if possible, first. Tuscan melons are delicious, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, casaba. You can make a fabulous fruit salad or a salsa with cilantro using melons. It is yummy on seafood. Those come to mind immediately. Is there a farmers market near you, or a store that caters to locally grown foods? Keep me posted on what you find. In Health, Sandra

The following is copied from The Forum on the website.

Posted by Seth, 9th July, 2008. Can anyone tell me if there are any drinking alcohols that do not contain sugar? Beer, also, if anyone knows. Thanks.

Posted by Dr. Jared Zeff, N.D., 10th July, 2008. Most alcohol does not contain sugar. Rum is made from sugar. Scotch, bourbon, vodka and gin do not contain sugar. Brandy may contain sugar. Most beers do not contain sugar, though some do. Jared Zeff, ND.

Posted by Dr. Watrous, 16th July, 2008. Perhaps a honey wine, or mead.

Posted by Seth, 17th July, 2008. Does anyone know what Lara Bars have been tested for? I am curious if they were found to have sugar. Specifically, I am curious about the Jocalat bar that they make.

Posted by Sandra, Song of Health, 17th July, 2008. Dear Seth, I am aware of Dr. Watrous having tested Lara Bars for grain, sugar and potato. They tested for fruit only. I will forward this to our doctors to see if they tested them for anything else. My combination intolerance is fruit/sugar and I eat Jocalat bars almost every morning for breakfast!

Posted by Dr. Watrous, N.D., 19th July, 2008.I have checked most of the variations of Lara Bars. None, so far, have any sugar in them, nor do they have grain. They are also dairy and egg free. I hope this helps. Dr. Watrous

HEALTH HUMOR

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it. Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

SONG OF HEALTH SPOTLIGHT:
DR. NORMAN SUHU, N.D., LAc., M.S.

The following is a biography of Dr. SuHu. Dr. SuHu, located in New York, is a dedicated supporter of Song of Health and an exceptionally accomplished, renowned doctor among his peers and patients. At this time the Song of Health team is honored to introduce him to those of you who are not already familiar with Dr. SuHu and all that he does.

Dr Norman SuHu leads two clinics that are truly precious gems in the New York City metropolitan region. His clinics are the only ones in New York City that are certified to offer the Carroll Food Intolerance test. As a result he has developed a special niche in the nutrition world and receives referrals literally from around the world. He works in collaboration with other unique health professionals in the New York area to provide comprehensive care.

It is not unusual for a person to visit one of Dr SuHu’s clinics stating: “I went to a dozen doctors and they ran all these tests on me and they say nothing is wrong, yet I don’t feel right”. By utilizing simple and safe screening methods and devices subtle imbalances can be detected that do not appear on the conventional radar screen. Methods of detection could be as simple as evaluating the nails, tongue, pulse and skin texture. Other methods could call for evaluating peripheral blood morphology and electrical conductance measurements of acupuncture points. But nothing is as important as a thorough interview.

Among the other services offered, Dr SuHu is also one of a handful of other practitioners who offer biosyntonie treatments and protective devices. This is a specialized form of energy vibration medicine that normalizes biorhythmic patterns and neuroendocrine functions. Modern technology of computers, refrigeration, air travel, etc. provides convenience and efficiency but carries a double edge sword. Biosyntonie protection devices and treatments also help protect one’s environment and person from the hazards of these modern technologies. To hear a more comprehensive explanation please listen to the archived radio interview of Dr SuHu on the Natural Nurse program. kamhi.progressiveradionetwork.org

Dr SuHu also offers nature cure therapies in his clinics, mainly in the form of constitutional hydrotherapy and herbal baths. He has recently included ionic foot cleanse as well as balneotherapy peat baths in his new clinic in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York.

Acupuncture has one origin but many diverse branches. Dr SuHu has studied many systems of acupuncture, including Tong System, TCM, Classical Chinese, Korean Five Elements, Vietnamese, Korean SaSang, Japanese and modern American Physical Medicine systems. He draws from each as best suited for the client needs.

Dr SuHu has utilized many electronic modalities and has found a few to be truly helpful in specific situations. Devices used include Lymphatic system air compression, Magnatherm, Dermaray high frequency, Jade gemstone and sound frequency and Neurotron.

Given the array of services offered, many clients see Dr SuHu’s clinic from different points of view. Some view it as a place for good nutrition advice. Some see it as a place to help with their physical injuries. Some view it as a place for spiritual guidance and uplift. Some view it as a place of many possibilities and opportunities. When asked how to best describe what he offers Dr. SuHu says, “I basically see myself as a therapeutic friend and minister of God’s mercy and love”.

PRINCIPLES OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
NATUROPATHIC PRINCIPLE #1
By Dr. Jared Zeff, N.D., LAc.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae
Naturopathic medicine is based upon the observation of the healing process in nature. Over centuries, physicians have observed the body in illness, and noted how the body heals itself. From these observations we have extracted six principles that help guide us as physicians. These principles instruct us that our role is not to direct the healing process, but to help it emerge. I want to discuss the first of these six principles of healing in this article: the one we call Vis Medicatrix Naturae (The Healing Power of Nature). This principle, or observation, is the origin of naturopathic philosophy, and all of the other principles and clinical theory come from it. We state it this way:

“The healing power of nature is the inherent self-organizing and healing process of living systems which establishes, maintains and restores health. Naturopathic medicine recognizes this healing process to be ordered and intelligent. It is the naturopathic physician's role to support, facilitate and augment this process by identifying and removing obstacles to health and recovery, and by supporting the creation of a healthy internal and external environment.”

Models of Medical Thought
Mainstream medicine is based upon a simple and elegant model: the diagnosis and treatment of disease. In brief, the doctor is expected to determine the specific nature and name of the disease process (diagnosis), and then apply the various tools or weapons that science and experience have provided to eliminate the disease (treatment).

This is taken as self-evident and unquestioned. Upon analysis it contains at least four assumptions:

1.that there are distinct disease entities which exist separate from the patient;
2.that these disease entities can be identified;
3.that these disease entities can be removed from the patient’s body.
4.that the evidence-based use of drugs or surgery constitute effective and appropriate treatment.

In this conventional system, the doctor identifies the disease and then “does battle” with it, almost as if the patient were a neutral field upon which this battle takes place. The primary tools in this battle are drugs and surgery.

The Naturopathic Model
Naturopathic Medicine embraces different assumptions. In our medicine, the emphasis is upon health restoration rather than disease treatment. The first of these naturopathic assumptions is contained within Vis Medicatrix Naturae.

The naturopathic physician does not do battle with a disease entity. Instead, we rely upon the healing wisdom, vital energies and intelligence of the organism to restore normal and healthy function. The work of the naturopathic physician is to elicit healing by helping the patients to create or recreate conditions for health to exist within them. Health will occur where the conditions for health exist. Disease is the product of conditions, which allow for it.

Naturopathic medicine is not based primarily upon the identification and treatment of disease. Instead, we seek to restore health: a different emphasis. The assumptions that govern naturopathic medicine are these:

1.The universe is ordered and intelligent
2.Health is the constant and natural state of being
3.Ill health is an adaptive response to disturbance in the organism
4.The return of normal health is based upon the reduction of factors which are disturbing the health
5.Appropriate treatment should involve the least intervention necessary to reduce disturbance and restore health.

In this way of thinking, illness is not seen as a thing, but as a process in which the normal functioning of the body is disturbed, and the body reacts to set itself right. Reaction may include fever, inflammation, and other symptoms. The naturopath seeks not simply to eliminate these symptoms, but to understand what is disturbing the system, remove or moderate these disturbing influences, and then stimulate the self healing mechanisms to bring about restoration of health.

The process of healing can be modeled very generally through a simple explanation. If normal health is disturbed, the body reacts to the disturbance if it is of sufficient intensity or duration. As the reaction proceeds, the body begins to discharge the products of the healing process, mucus, pus, etc. As the discharge resolves, the body is returned to a state of normal health. If the disturbance persists, such as wrong diet, the reaction persists, or repeats. This will also occur if the reaction is weak or blocked, perhaps by drugs. This is the origin of chronic disease: persistent disturbance or weakened response. As chronic reaction continues, the body will eventually degenerate with ulceration, tumor formation, scar tissue, paralysis, etc.

Upon simple analysis, reactions can be seen to be intelligent and healing phenomena. Inflammation is characterized by increased blood flow into a disturbed area, causing redness and swelling. The increased blood flow brings more oxygen, increased numbers of white blood cells, and other healing elements into the disturbed area. These are the front line healing processes that the body employs. They are obviously intelligent and wise things for the body to do to heal itself. This is an example of what is meant by Vis Medicatrix Naturae, the healing power of nature.

If the disturbance is single, or short lived, these processes will bring the body, or the involved tissues, back to a normal state. The inflammation will be followed by discharge and then by resolution. This is most easily seen with the common cold. The common cold is not a disease entity; it is a healing process. The worst thing one could do is suppress the process with drugs, which interferes with the process of inflammation, discharge, and recovery.

The Origin of Chronic Disease
If any process of acute, restorative inflammation is suppressed, usually by drugs, the disturbing factors will persist. Toxins accumulate. Function is increasingly disturbed and inflammation becomes more persistent and recurrent. This is the origin of chronic disease. As disturbing factors continue and are suppressed, the disturbance penetrates more deeply into the organism, and chronic inflammation ensues. Which tissues become involved will depend upon inherited weakness, acquired weakness, mechanical stresses, the nature of the specific toxins, and so forth.

Arthritis is a perfect example of this. The cause of arthritis is not conventionally understood, and conventional treatment is directed at reducing the pain and inflammation, which is partially successful, but the various treatments (drugs) generally create their own pathology, which may become devastating, including immune suppression, osteoporosis, ulceration of the stomach, etc.

Following the naturopathic model presented above, the physician would work with the patient to identify and remove the causes of disturbance, primarily found in diet and life stresses. We help the patient establish more healthful habits, improve diet and digestion and stimulate the self-healing potential to overcome the obstacles to healing through a variety of therapeutic modalities. With appropriate dietary change to eliminate the sources of irritating toxins, we can expect to see rapid decrease in pain and inflammation.

When I began in practice I did not know how to treat arthritis. I used a variety of “anti-inflammatory” herbs or other substances, elimination of the “nightshades”, homeopathic remedies as indicated, physiotherapy and whatever else I could recall, discover, or think of. But nothing I did in this regard resulted in a permanent cure. When I later came to understand the naturopathic model for restoring health, through the teaching of Dr. Harold Dick and his food intolerance elimination, my rate of success as well as my confidence began to increase.

Mal-digestion, the origin of the irritating toxins, is caused by eating foods which are not well digested by a particular body, by inappropriate food selection or preparation, by overeating or other inappropriate eating patterns, and by stress. As poorly digested food passes through the digestive tract, it is subject to the bacterial actions of fermentation and putrefaction, which create the toxic substances. As these persist, more and more inflammation develops.

To reverse the decline towards degeneration, the disturbing factors must be removed or ameliorated. If suppression has occurred, or if the disease has deeply penetrated or damaged the organism, there will be a return of acute inflammation as the organism moves back toward health. This is called a healing reaction or healing crisis. The process of healing is the reverse of the process of disease.

The Hierarchy of Therapeutics
In facilitating the process of healing, the naturopathic physician seeks to use those therapies which are most efficient in stimulating the self-healing mechanisms, which have and which have the least potential to harm the patient. The concept of harm includes suppression of the natural healing process, such as inflammation and fever. These precepts, coupled to an understanding of the process of healing, result in a therapeutic hierarchy. This hierarchy is a natural consequence of how the organism heals. Therapeutic modalities are applied in a rational order, determined by the nature of the healing process.

If we examine the process discussed above, we can come to an understanding of appropriate therapeutic intervention and its natural order. Restoration of health can usually be achieved by following the following order:

1. Identify and remove causes of disease (especially wrong diet)

2. Establish a healthy regimen

3. Stimulate the self healing mechanisms

4. Support weakened or damaged systems

5. Correct structural integrity

6. Address pathology

7. Suppress pathology (usually using drugs or surgery)

This is offered as a summation of our philosophy, and as a guide to our newer readers. Two principal concepts deserve emphasis. First, success will often be based upon the order of the therapeutic intervention. For example, appropriate dietary change comes before specific stimulating therapies. This will allow the therapies to work in an improved “terrain” and therefore produce more lasting results. If the cause of the disturbance, usually improper diet, continues to be fed into the system, therapeutic intervention at a lower level in the hierarchy will rarely be curative and may even exacerbate the body’s inflammatory response. Second, therapy must attempt to stimulate the vital responses of the body and not be directed against pathology.

Naturopathic medicine is vitalistic, relying upon the wisdom and intelligence of the body rather than that of the doctor. Those therapies toward the top of this therapeutic hierarchy have the greatest potential to return the organism to normal unsupported function, that is, permanent cure. This is why the use of drugs, without first having understood the causative elements of wrong diet, poor digestion, and stress, and acted to correct them, will generally not result in permanent nor efficient cure.

SHARING EXPERIENCES
By Sandra Strom, CEO

“Are Your Children Safe?”

Last month’s article, contributed by Dr. Potenza, (Why Buy Local Foods?), Dragonfly News, July 08) emphasized the importance of concentrating on buying our foods from local, reliable sources. This past week I was listening to the Clark Howard show, a consumer advocate radio program, which “brought home” the reality of having to take the quality of our health and environment into our own hands and not depend on our government to do it for us. How much of what we hear in the media can we believe? By taking personal initiative, our actions can help to minimize the very real potential of buying dangerously.

I challenge you to always take the time to…FOLLOW THE MONEY!

It is old news that we have been subjected to tainted lettuce, pet food and toothpaste from foreign sources. What do you know about children’s products? Are your children in harm’s way? Are you aware that the jewelry and trinkets your kids are wearing may contain lead?

Nancy A. Nord, commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was nominated by President George W. Bush for a term that expires in October of 2012. The duty of the CPSC is to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. But the CPSC is not enforcing and ensuring that toys being distributed on the market are safe. By law, the (CPSC) is prohibited from issuing public reports about unsafe items until after a multiyear investigation. Nord has been lobbying to not have additional authority to deliver reports in a quicker manner. She's also fighting a move in Congress to fine manufacturers who produce unsafe products. It appears that Nancy Nord is protecting these companies instead of acting as the diligent watchdog for consumers, as she was hired to do. Clark Howard has accused her of being wined, dined and taking freebies from the very companies that she is supposed to be monitoring for protection of the public. For the last several years Congress has authorized a ban on lead-filled toys and children’s trinkets, but she has refused to take such action, allowing dangerous toys to flood the market. Instead, she maintains secrecy on the known information of such products for years, which allows the manufacturers of these illegally-produced products to sell their existing inventory until it is gone, with the understanding that they will comply with safety standards in future production.*

A number of organizations research, test and publish their findings as advocates of safety for consumers and are great resources for you to investigate:

The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) is a consumer advocate group who has succeeded in causing changes in government leniency. One of its efforts was to take action against lead in costume jewelry. In an agreement with CEH and the California Attorney General's Office on January 27, 2006 seventy-one retailers and suppliers, including familiar brand names, joined a precedent-setting agreement to protect children’s health (and adults) by phasing out lead in their costume jewelry. A list of these companies can be found at their website, which is listed in the references below. Among them are Target, Kmart, Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Claire’s, Mervyn’s, Sears, Toys R Us and Disney. “The legal settlement calls for the companies to take swift action to end sales of lead-containing jewelry in California by reformulating their products. The landmark agreement...creates the first legally binding standards for lead in jewelry in the nation.”**According to the CEH “The process to eliminate lead threats from jewelry has already begun and our continuing investigation leads us to believe that many companies have already eliminated the lead.”

The agreement requires that no company can ship lead-tainted children's jewelry to a retail store after February 1, 2007, and cannot ship any lead-tainted jewelry after August 1, 2007. It also requires that retailers must stop selling lead-tainted children's jewelry by September 1, 2007, and must stop selling all non-compliant jewelry by March 1, 2008.** January 27, 2006

HealthyToys.org is a website that publishes research test findings on what toys are and are not safe. They advocate refraining from purchasing any children’s jewelry, that “more than 1 in 3 pieces of kid's jewelry that was tested contained so much lead that it could decrease your child's IQ.” *

Be very cautious of cheap jewelry and trinkets that appear to be silver. Also, lead is manufactured into many rubber toys for consistency.

You can find much information on findings of children’s toys, jewelry and other products at these websites:

Side Dishes

 
VEGETARIAN BOSTON BAKED BEANS
(Contributed by Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

2 cups small white beans, pink beans or kidney beans
3 quarts water
2 tsp. ground fennel seed
1 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic, optional

Wash beans thoroughly to remove any dirt. Put beans in a saucepan, cover with 1 quart of the water. Bring to a boil for a minute or two. Remove from heat, drain beans then wash thoroughly under faucet. (This process helps to remove gaseous properties in the beans, as will the fennel.)
Place beans in either an electric crock pot or big cooking pot with the water, fennel seed, salt and garlic. If cooking on stovetop: Uncovered, bring to a boil then turn heat down to medium, cover and simmer until beans are soft. If cooking in crock pot: Cover and set temperature on high option. Cook until beans are soft. Drain, keeping the liquid.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

1 cup liquid from beans
½-1 very sweet onion (Walla Walla onions are best), chopped
½ cup vegetable oil or combination of oil and butter½ cup maple syrup
½ cup honey
2 tsp dry mustard seed, crushed or 1 tsp. prepared mustard
3 to 4 drops liquid smoke

In a glass baking dish or bean pot place the beans and chopped onion. Stir to evenly mix.
In a saucepan add the oil, maple syrup, honey, mustard and liquid smoke. Bring to a boil while stirring often to keep from burning or boiling over. Remove from heat and pour over the beans, stirring just enough to mix evenly.
Bake 6 to 8 hours. If necessary, add more liquid to keep the beans moist. Remove the cover during the last hour of baking.
Serves 4 to 6.
