 Message
from Bernadette Wulf
Greetings and Happy Imbolc!
It
is the year of the horse in the Chinese calendar, and the first day of
spring in the Celtic calendar, though in many parts of the US it sure
doesn't look that way. Record breaking storms continue to batter most
of the country, while the worst drought since the 1800s plagues the
West Coast. However, I noticed the first yellow acacia blossoms popping
out the other day, so spring is definitely on the way.
It is hard to complain with day after day of sunshine, but we all know
there may be a big price to pay for this unseasonal weather if it
continues much longer. May the year of the horse bring more balance and
harmony to our world and our weather!
This month we have a good reminder to get your B12 levels checked,
especially if you are feeling tired and run down. It is easy and
inexpensive to supplement and highly recommended, even if you are not a
vegan or vegetarian.
Some good news about walnuts should make you want to include them in
your daily diet. And maybe a bracing splash of cold water can give you
the health boost you've been looking for. The ancient yogis highly
recommended it.
Finally, a really good article on liver health by well-known herbalist,
Susun Weed. I don't agree with everything she says, but overall it is a
very informative and useful overview of liver health and healing.
To
Your
Health!

 Vitamin B12 for Energy!
Have you been feeling run down and tired even though you get enough sleep? Maybe it is caused by a B12 deficiency.
From RenegadeHealth.com article: "A study published in the European
Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2010 showed that almost 75% of British
vegans are either depleted or deficient in B12.
- 50% were actually deficient, enough to experience neurological damage. That's a shocking statistic!
- And 21% were considered "depleted."
- In people following an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet, 7% were deficient and 17% were considered depleted.
"If you eat a vegetarian or mostly vegetarian diet, you absolutely need
to supplement with B12. But because B12 supplements are absolutely
safe, it's also advised for anyone to include it as part of their
program, considering the fact that our environment is a little too
sanitized to insure proper B12 stores for a lifetime."
If you don't like the idea of swallowing pills, you can get a B12 patch
that supplies B12 through your skin, or use a sub lingual spray. If in
doubt, you can get an inexpensive blood test to determine your B12
level. Even meat eaters are often deficient, especially as they age, so this is something everyone should be concerned about.

 Wonderful Walnuts Prevent Diabetes
Isn't
it wonderful when something as delicious as a walnut can also prevent
one of the most dreaded diseases of our time? I think so. That doesn't
mean we can gobble down excess sugar and animal products and expect
walnuts to repair the damage, but it is good to know we have this
humble nut on our side.
From bottomlinepublications.com:
"Women who ate two or more ounces of walnuts per week,
on average, had a 24% lower risk for type 2 diabetes…those who ate just
one ounce of walnuts per week had a 13% lower risk.
"Other types of nuts conferred some benefits, but mainly through weight
control, the researchers said. The walnut, however, has a number of
properties that make it a winner in the fight against diabetes. For one
thing, of all the common tree nuts, walnuts are highest in
polyunsaturated fats, containing 47% of these fats by weight—and there
is good evidence that polyunsaturated fats have favorable effects on
how the body uses insulin. Walnuts also are the richest of all nuts in
a particular type of healthful polyunsaturated fat called alpha
linolenic acid. What’s more, walnuts are high in fiber and plant
protein and have been shown to decrease total cholesterol and LDL “bad”
cholesterol. These nuts also are loaded with vitamin E and polyphenols
that have antioxidant properties. Bonus: Even though walnuts (like
other nuts) are high in calories, they don’t seem to cause weight gain
in a balanced diet—perhaps because they are so filling and satisfying.
"Do men get similar protection against diabetes from eating walnuts?
Research will have to prove it, but odds are good that they would."
Nuts have been shown to increase life span in people who eat a small
handful a day. It appears that walnuts have the added benefit of
protecting us from diabetes, so toss them in your salads, or mix them
into your morning cereal and enjoy a delicious and nutritious treat.

 The Healing Power of Cold Water
For most of us, taking a cold shower or bath, especially in the
dead of winter, is not appealing at all, but the ancient Yogis discovered that cold water
has amazing healing properties. Now that we have hot and cold running
water in our homes, it is so easy to finish off a hot shower with a
chilly burst. This will not only help to close your pores to protect
your skin from pollution, but it will stimulate circulation and bring
healing to all the organs of your body. It can even help with weight
loss.
Here is one tried and true approach - from NaturalMentor.com: "Place your fingertips
under cold water, at least that will have positive effects on the
brain. When you want to renew your cells, apply cold water to the
front of your neck and let it run to the rest of your body.
"When applied to the chest and the front of the body, your blood
chemistry changes for the better. Step under the cold water, then
outside the water and massage the body feeling the warmth come on.
Continue this process for 12-15 minutes."
The article recommends rubbing almond oil on your skin before getting
wet, which is a good idea, though coconut oil may offer even more health
benefits. If nothing else, the cold water will wake you up!

 Nourishing Your Liver
This
is a great article about liver health and I highly encourage you to
read it. However, I don't agree that we should avoid raw foods. Cooking
a tree-ripened peach or a fresh strawberry destroys enzymes and
vitamins, not to mention the delicious flavor and vitality of perfect
ripeness. I'd say, wash them well and enjoy! On the other hand, if your
liver is compromised, or your immune system is not functioning well,
then yes it would be prudent to cook your produce.
Here's
what Susun Weed has to say about liver health, from susunweed.com:
"Chemicals [ ] do not build up in the liver, despite what you may have
read. The liver sends unneeded water-soluble chemicals, such as
ammonia, to the kidneys to be excreted. (To get a sense of how quickly
this happens, eat some asparagus, which contains a harmful natural
chemical, and notice the smell of your urine, and how quickly you have
to "go.") The liver incarcerates oil-soluble chemicals by locking them
up in fat cells, or sending them to be excreted in breast milk,
ejaculations, ovulations, and tears. (Chemicals are not excreted by
sweating.)
"The liver can be damaged. Alcohol can kill liver cells. Viruses,
especially hepatitis viruses, can destroy liver cells. And cancer can
take over the liver and quickly render it dysfunctional.
'But the liver is amazingly regenerative. Cellular turnover is quite
fast. Every cell in a healthy liver is replaced every forty days. Only
substances that can keep up with the ever-changing liver are preserved
(such as vitamins and sugars); chemical toxins are made homeless."
Read on for tips on nourishing the liver with healthy herbs, and more.
