NBC (WMAQ-TV) – November 11, 2004
Therese M Rowley will be talking about children who exhibit behavior that has been diagnosed as ADD/ADHD often have very sensitive nervous systems. That means that their environment and relationships play an even more important role in their development than is true for other children. The external factors that parents have control over, including food, exercise, and entertainment choices, will go a long way to supporting a gentler experience for families who include these children. In addition, there are ways to help a child with their homework and educational experience so that it boosts learning and self esteem

1. Food sensitivities include: milk and milk products; wheat; refined sugar and processed foods – especially those with preservatives and food coloring. Staying with organic fresh fruits, vegetables and grains are most helpful. Simple things can help, like putting out a tray of vegetables and dip on the table for after school snacks. Healthier alternatives to snacks and even dessert options are available through health food markets and even health-oriented restaurants. (like the Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Chicago Diner, Karyns, etc.).
2. Exercise not only offers an outlet for the excess energy that many of these children exhibit, but exercise oxygenates the brain which is essential to the child’s development. In addition, martial arts and yoga exercises – done at a very early age on – can help children focus better. These exercises also help coordination and bringing more into balance the speed of their energy with their body.
3. Each child learns differently. If parents can continually notice and ask themselves, “What is my child good at? What is my child drawn to?” then they have one clue about how to help them with their homework. For example, if a child is more relationship-oriented than numbers oriented, then make the numbers into children or teddy bears and talk about math in those terms. It requires parents to apply their own imagination in interpreting homework in a way that most interests their child. There are even simple tools to help children feel more in control, like drawing a spiral and having the children trace the spiral with their fingers when they begin to feel overwhelmed.
4. Studies are now showing that the less television the better for those under two years of age. Since these children have more sensitive nervous systems, violence and wildly fast video games may negatively impact them and make it even harder for them to focus. Entertainment that includes exercise and movement are best. The more peaceful their surroundings, the better able they are to cope with the noise and over-stimulation already going on inside them.

ABC (WLS-TV) – December 1, 2004
Dr. Martha Howard will be live discussing the top 10 ways to prevent and cure the flu this winter season with holistic remedies. With a shortage of flu shots this winter Dr. Howard offers a variety of alternative methods including the use of herbal supplements and essential oils.
1. Stay Hydrated Increasing your fluid intake particularly water, can help prevent dehydration caused by fever, keeps the throat moist, and lessens the chance of the flu/virus becoming stronger.
• Avoid iced drinks and cold foods in the winter. (This one’s from Traditional Chinese Medicine)
2. Reduce Stress Stress can increase your susceptibility to the flu virus and can increase the severity of the symptoms. Modify your lifestyle to ensure a low stress environment allowing for a stronger immune system. Visit www.Chicagohealers.com for information on other ways to reduce stress.
3. Good Night’s Rest Lack of sleep can lower your immune system. Getting a good night’s sleep can keep your bodies defense mechanisms up to par.
4. Exercise Regularly Regular exercise can lower stress and stimulate the immune system at the same time. Moderate exercise has also been known to aid in sleeping.
5. Oscillococcinum Also known as Oscillo, is a homeopathic over-the-counter medication that helps to combat flu systems. Oscillo can be taken as a preventative measure to stop the flu before it shows up, as well as to eliminate the symptoms if taken immediately after experiencing typical flu symptoms.
6. Take Vitamin and Herbal Supplements A daily dose from a multi-vitamin supplement can help enhance your immune system and prevent the flu virus as well as certain herbal supplements including:
• Vitamin E supplements are known to enhance immune response.
• Vitamin C supplements are useful in boosting the immune system.
• Echinacea & Goldenseal are widely known and used to help promote a healthy immune system.
• Astragalus often used in Chinese medicine, has many functions including boosting the immune system.
• Black Edelberry root is also an immune enhancing herb that can be taken in supplemental form.
7. Essential Oils Essential oils are a natural way to kill bacteria and germs that contribute to the spreading of the flu virus. Different combinations of oils can have many different uses including:
• Combine tea tree oil and water in a spray bottle to help eliminate bacteria on phones and other public surfaces.
• Put a drop of clove oil in your coffee or tea. Clove oil is known as one of the highest anti-oxidants known and will support the immune system and kill germs at the same time.
• A drop of eucalyptus oil in a tea pot with hot water can help clear up sinuses.
• Rubbing your hands regularly with a mixture of of lemon, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and eucalyptus oils helps kill germs also allowing the oil to penetrate into the blood stream killing even more germs. Not only can in kill germs but it smells great and leaves hands soft.
8. Take a Sauna Not only does the steam help loosen up the throat, inhaling steam that is very high in temperature can kill viruses and bacteria.
9. Eliminate the Transfer of Bacteria Washing hands regularly can help keep bacteria away as well as avoid sharing glasses, cups, towels, food and silverware especially when in contact with sick people.
10. Eat Foods Containing Phytochemicals “Phyto” means plants, and the natural chemicals in plants give the vitamins in food a supercharged boost. So eat dark green, red, and yellow vegetables and fruits to help boost the immune system.

Others:
1. Eat Yogurt Eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to colds. The beneficial bacteria in yogurt can stimulate production of immune system substances that fight disease.
2. Don’t Smoke Even being around smoke can considerably worsen the immune system. Smoke dries out your nasal passages and paralyzes cilia. These are the delicate hairs that line the mucous membranes in your nose and lungs, and with their wavy movements, sweep cold and flu viruses out of the nasal passages.
3. Cut Alcohol Consumption Alcohol can damage the liver which makes it harder for it to filter out bacteria. Alcohol also dehydrates you and takes more fluid out of your system then it puts in.
4. Don’t Touch Your Face Touching your face is a major way that flu germs and bacteria are spread. The eyes, nose and mouth are very susceptible to carrying germs.

CBS (WBBM-TV) – January 8, 2005
Gina Orlando, certified hypnotherapist, will be live discussing how hypnosis and EFT can be used to help achieve and maintain New Year’s Resolutions as well as the basics behind these therapies. The discussion will take place on Saturday, January 8th at 8:15am.
What is Hypnosis?
The state of hypnosis is a natural relaxed mind state between waking and sleeping that heightens suggestibility. It is a time where the subconscious mind becomes available for new positive suggestions for desired behavior changes that you desire.

What is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is another effective non-invasive technique that can be easily taught to a client to also get relief from negative emotions, pesky patterns, physical cravings, fears, old pain, physical discomfort and self-sabotaging memories and tendencies. EFT taps into the energy and nervous systems as the client gently taps on significant stress relief or acupressure points while focusing in on the problem and a solution.

How can Hypnosis and EFT help with weight loss and quitting smoking?
The reason hypnosis is so effective for achieving and maintaining weight loss, smoking cessation, exercise motivation and reduced stress is that the subconscious mind is where habits and emotions live and it’s the part of the mind that runs all of the body’s functions.

Chicagohealers.com practitioner Jim Jordan will be discussing the negative effects of DEET on the body in the ABC Channel 7 Healthbeat segment..

Overview of points covered in DEET interview with ABC news:
* 5,000 reported cases per year since 1995 of DEET related poisonings to the National Center for Poison Control.
* Symptoms include: skin irritations, headaches, nausea, muscle spasms, seizures and deaths.
* History of safe options to DEET for bug repellent yet CDC never endorsed until this year, and still claims DEET is safe.
* Chemicals tested for safety in isolation from other aggravating variables which in real world people are exposed to such as: other toxins, medications, nutrient deficiencies, stress. Conclusion: EPA, CDC does not know if DEET or many other chemicals used in commercial products will be safe for any particular individual.
* Chemicals tested for immediate harm or injury – not over extended period of time for cumulative effect on the body.
* No debate over whether DEET is toxic: just how toxic for each particular person.
* Natural alternatives safer because humans have evolved enzyme systems over centuries to metabolize toxic effect of plant substances, chemical based toxins recent invention and there has been insufficient time to develop enzyme mutations to metabolize toxins in these products.
