by Peter Frankel, M.D.Statistics prove it. Cardiovascular health needs to be addressed.There are increasingly more fatalities related to heart disease thanever before and the older you get, the worse the situation.

There is hope for individuals who have a family history of heartdisease or stroke and have witnessed one family member after thenext surrender to the death call. Join Perry Frankel, MD, a board-certified cardiologist and lipidologist at St. Francis Heart Hospitaland North Shore LIJ as he presents four all-important tests for pre-venting vestibular imbalances, heart attacks and stroke.

According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)statistics, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States,with stroke at #3. Many may not realize it, but accidental falls are amongthe leading cause of death in the elderly, killing approximately 13,000seniors each year and resulting in more than 1.5 million visits to hospi-tal emergency rooms. At the next NEWLIFE EXPO at the Hotel Pennsyl-vania on March 21-23, Dr. Frankel will discuss in detail four vitalpreventative tests that can save your life or the life of someone you love.

That Can SYours orSomeoneYou Love

FOURVITALTESTS

Vestibular ExaminationDoctors previously attributed falls among the elderly to boneweakness, vision impairment and gait problems. A new study fromthe National Institute for Health reveals that approximately 35% ofAmericans over the age of 40 suffer from vestibular dysfunction,which is an inner-ear balance disorder. Data shows that inner-earimbalances strike more than half of all Americans 60 years and older.People with inner-ear balance problems regularly suffer dizziness orvertigo, which could be one of the reasons they tend to fall down.

Vestibular examination is a non-invasive examination for detectinginner-ear balance disorders. Vestibular disorders can go completelyunnoticed but, unfortunately, 69 million men and women over theage of 40 are more likely to have a serious fall due to some form ofinner-ear dysfunction. Vestibular examination can help diagnosepatients with inner ear disorders that are more likely to have seriousfalls and benefit from vestibular physical therapy to reduce risks.

Carotid DopplerStrokes kill approximately 157,000 individuals annually. It is theleading cause of permanent disability in the elderly. Yet, almost 75 per-cent of those who suffer a stroke never knew they had a problem withthe carotid artery. For a stroke to occur, a vessel carrying blood to thebrain either ruptures or becomes blocked. Brain cells, deprived of oxy-gen and vital nutrients, begin to die within minutes of the rupture orblockage. If the blood flow is not restored, permanent damage mayoccur. Detecting early signs of a stroke and getting help quickly cangreatly reduce any long-term effects, including disability or death.

The Carotid Doppler Test is a non-invasive strategy usingsound waves to measure the flow of blood through the largecarotid arteries that supply blood to the brain. It also detectsplaque (carotid artery disease) and can help determine strokerisk and the need for preventive measures. The Carotid Doppleris painless and harmless.

veABI for Peripheral Artery DiseasePeripheral Artery Disease (PAD), more commonly known ashardening of the arteries, affects more than 8 million peoplein the U.S. It is caused by atherosclerosis, a buildup of cho-lesterol and scar tissue (plaque) that clogs the arteries. PADcauses pain and disability and can lead to an increased riskof heart disease, heart attack or stroke (especially in individ-uals over 50).

The ABI (ankle-brachial index) procedure measures the systolicblood pressure of the arms and ankles. This test is non-evasiveand very easy to administer. An ABI index of .9 or lower indicatesthe probability of peripheral artery disease.

Join Dr. Perry Frankel as he shares the particulars of these 4 vitaltests at the March NEWLIFE EXPO in New York City, March 21-23.You could save a life... possibly your own.

Abdominal Aorta UltrasoundA pproximately, 200,000 people in the U.S. are diag-nosed with Abdominal Aorta Aneurysms (AAA) of which2/3 have no prior symptoms. An aneurysm occurs when aportion of the aorta bulges or becomes weakened. Theaorta is the largest artery in the body. It delivers oxy-genated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Whenan aneurysm balloons or expands greater than 50 percentof the artery’s normal diameter, it is at risk of rupturing.Seventy-five to ninety percent of individuals with rupturedAAAs do not survive.

An abdominal ultrasound is a preventive screening toolused to identify an AAA so that prompt treatment can beprovided prior to aneurysm rupture. The ultrasound hasgood accuracy and is the preferred screening modal of themedical profession.

E HAVE ALL BEEN brought up with thetimeless proverb, “Procrastination is theThief of Time.” Our true Scientist tells usthat most of our modern day diseases aredegenerate in nature. This means they taketime to become full-blown diseases.

For example, last year millions ofAmericans were devastatingly shocked withthe diagnosis of cancer. Most Americans arenot aware of the truth that it takes 20 years ormore for most cancers to slowly develop tothe point that they can be officially diagnosed.

If we’re honest enough to objectivelyevaluate the outcome of Orthodox CancerTreatment we must conclude it is a dismalfailure. Chemotherapy is four percent effective.Most medicine treatment exacerbates thecondition; patients get sicker from the treatmentand die faster. What is true for cancer is equallytrue for all other named medical conditions.

What your orthodox drug medicinedoctor may not have told you, is the scienceof laboratory diagnostics is ten years aheadof the standard orthodox practice. Cancerantibody tests are now available that areable to detect the propensity toward cancer,not just months, but years in advance beforeit is even diagnosed. The same holds true forevery major medically named condition.

What is shocking to most people is thesetests are seldom ordered for preventive

purposes. How is this possible you may ask?The answer is the simple. There are twotypes of medicine. The first type ismainstream orthodox drug medicine, whichcan be determined primarily as: Thediagnosis, treatment and prescription ofdiseased symptoms. The second type ofmedicine has become known as “AlternativeMedicine” or ‘Naturopathic Medicine. Thisdeals with health enhancement, preventionand high level wellness.

The main difference is orthodox medicinediagnoses medical conditions after theymanifest themselves. Naturopathic medicineseems to prevent the diagnosis from evenoccurring, by uncovering imbalances levelsof toxicity and deficiencies.

What Is True For CancerIs Also True For MostOther Diseases

What is true for cancer is also true ofstroke, heart disease, diabetes, highcholesterol high blood pressure, obesity,

chronic fatigue, pre mature aging,depression, constipation, sleep disorders,chronic fatigue memory loss, loss oflibido, osteoporosis, liver disorders,Alzheimer’s and most other diseases.They are mainly 100% preventable,treatable and curable without harmfuldrugs.

In naturopathic medicine we believethat every symptom is a sign of anutritional deficiency and every diseaseand named medical condition is a sign ofa long-term nutritional deficiency eitherignored, or worse suppressed with a drug.

The Good News Is ExcitingThe latest scientific discovery in

laboratory diagnostics cross correlates,blood, urine, saliva, hair biopsy andiridology with the naturopathic doctors’1001 nutrition assessment questionnaire.This is the most extensive questionnairedeveloped to date for nutritional, hormonaland metabolic assessment.

The end result is the mostcomprehensive nutritional read out inhistory consisting of a 50-100 pagecomputer read out encompassingeverything concerning your individualbiological chemistry. With technology now

available would you considerprocrastination to be irresponsible, foolishor an act of sheer stupidity, in so far asyour health is concern?

Would You Be So FoolishTo Drive Your Car 200,000 MilesBefore Changing Your Oil?

No. You wouldn’t be so stupid. But, howmany people do you know that it’s ok todestroy Gods Temple (Your Body) without aminimum nutritional checkup? What does afoolish person do? They do little to nothingto build their physical, mental or spiritualhealth. They procrastinate until a crisis hitsthem. They go to their orthodox drugmedicine drug doctor, seeking a quick reliefto their problem.

Once pulled into the orthodox drugsystem it is not unusual for the short-termrelief to result in long-term problems.Once into the drug system it’s not easy toget out. I’ve got some patients who havecome to me on twenty-five differentprescriptions. The whole idea behindNaturopathic Medicine is not to suppress asymptom, but to uncover and address thebottom line cause.

We are what we eat; it’s just that simple.Whatever you eat goes through animmediate process of building cells, tissues,and organs. After a lifetime of eating junkfoods, devitalized foods, and nutritionlessfoods, the cells of the body break down andgo into a process of deterioration. Mostnamed medical conditions begin when thebody is unable to repair itself.

M any people are alone when they suffer aheart attack, without help. The person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feelfaint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims canhelp themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be takenbefore each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputumfrom deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two secondswithout let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deepbreaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep theblood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. Inthis way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible aboutthis. It could save their lives!! A cardiologist says “If everyone who sees this post shares it to 10 peo-ple, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.”

ARE MAMMOGRAMS SAFE? As breast sci-ence evolves, so Should your wellnessstrategy? Mammography has been thegold standard for 25 years for breast can-cer screening, but many women are opting

for Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, aka DITI or ther-mography, which is non-invasive, radiation-free andpainless. The promising aspect of thermography is todetect physiological changes in the body that are pro-duced by developing pathology or disease years priorto identification on a mammogram and early enough touse preventive measures, rather than detecting diseaseat a stage where treatment is imminently required.

Developing breast cancer can be detected before ithas the density to be seen on a radiograph. As thegrowing tumor develops a renegade blood supplythrough a process called angioneogenesis, the increasein heat can be identified on a thermal image and com-pared to the opposite breast. Inflammation created in

the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes is also easilyidentified on highly sensitive medical grade cameras.

In recent years mammography has been controver-sial and has come into question as have other medicaldevices that emit ionizing radiation. It is well knownthat radiation is cumulative and carries health risks. InNovember 2009, the United States Preventative Ser-vices Task Force said it recommended that womenbegin regular mammograms at 50 instead of 40 andthat mammograms are needed every two years insteadof annually between the ages of 50 and 74. The aggres-sive guidelines were reversed because of the exposureto radiation.

The National Cancer Institute states, ”Any level ofradiation can cause cancer. It is ironic that ionizingradiation is our best screening tool now for 50 years.”John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. – a nuclear physicist and amedical doctor, and one of the leading experts in theworld on the dangers of radiation – presents com-

pelling evidence in his book, Radiation from Medical Pro-cedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic HeartDisease, that over 50% of the death-rate from cancer isin fact induced by x-rays.

A study conductedby Dr. William Hobbinsat the University of Wis-consin Medical Centerconcluded that thermog-raphy had 10 times theyield as compared tofamily history. Abnormalfindings on a thermo-gram, not correlated bymammography, were fol-lowed for many years uti-lizing thermography forchanges associated withcancer development. Inmany cases, mammogra-phy and resulting biopsywas positive, as much as8-10 years later in theexact area the thermo-gram predicted that acancer might be present.

In a 2008, The Ameri-can Society of BreastSurgeons performed astudy at NY Presbyterian Hospital - Cornell, f indingthemographic interpretat ions ident i f ied 58 correct lyof 60 malignancies, correlating to 97% accuracy. The con-clusion was DITI is a valuable adjunct to mammograms andultrasound particularlywith women with densebreast parenchyma.

W o m e n o f a l lanatomies , s izes anda g e s , e v e n p r e g n a n twomen can use thermog-raphy. It is not modifiedby breast density and isideal for women whohave had cosmet ic orreconstructive surgery,or to monitor treatment.Most adult females donot have a mammogramuntil age 40. This is a crit-ical time period from age20 -39 that thermographycould be beneficial.

Thermography doesnot identify fibrocystictissue, breast implants orscars as needing furtherinvestigation. It is goodat detecting changes inthe cells in the armpitarea, an area that mam-mography isn't always good at screening. It is also used forgeneral breast health assessment. As toxins and excessivehormones create increased heat in the breast, monitoringthese heat patterns is an excellent way to promote wellness

and see the response to various health approachesand treatments.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, who endorses thermographyexplains, ”Perhaps even more exciting is that a thermogram

can help a woman diag-nosed with ductal carci-n o m a i n s i t u ( D C I S )decide, along with herh e a l t h p r a c t i t i o n e r s ,w h e t h e r s h e r e q u i r e saggressive or conservativetreatment. If you've everhad an unnecessary biop-s y o r b e e n s c a r e d bya false positive result ona mammogram, pleaseconsider getting a ther-m o g r a m a n d u s i n g i tin conjunction with themammogram to figure ouryour treatment options.”

False diagnoses of breastcancer are very common –as high as 89% – leadingmany women to be unnec-essar i ly and harmful lytreated by mastectomy,more radiation, or chemo-therapy. Thermography

doesn’t replace mammography, but is an additional toolthat is available to women. When used adjunctively withother laboratory and outcome assessment tools, thebest possible evaluation of breast health is made and detec-

t i o n r a t e i n c r e a s e s t o95-98%, exceeding eithertechnology as a stand-alone therapy.

Breast health also startswith optimal nutrition,healthy life style manage-ment, reduction of stressand environmental toxins,hormonal balance, optimalvitamin D and iodine lev-els. The earliest detectionis true prevention. Takingcare of your self is nota luxury. It is a necessity.Book your thermogramtoday!

Culinary Food ForecastWhat’s Hot• Amaranth Stir-Fry

Gluten-free eating continues to gain under-standing and popularity as more and more foodsare available in stores and restaurants. Gluten isfound in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye.Gluten causes inflammation in the small intestineand by eliminating all gluten contained foods onecan become free of pain and discomfort.

On a gluten free diet there are a wide varietyof foods to choose from; beans, nuts, seeds, eggs,fish and other animal foods, fruits and vegeta-bles, many dairy products and some grainsincluding amaranth, buckwheat, corn and corn-meal, flours made from rice, soy, corn, potatoand beans, millet, quinoa all the whole grainrice’s, sorghum, and teff.

Always avoid foods and drinks that containbarley including malt, and malt vinegar, rye, trit-icale, and wheat. Avoiding wheat can be the mostchallenging as there are so many forms it comesin bromated, enriched, phosphated, plain, wholegrain and self-rising. Other wheat foods are bul-gur, durum flour and pasta, farina, graham flour,kamut, semolina, and spelt. Foods and beveragesthat are not labeled “gluten-free” are to be avoid-ed such as cereals, cakes, cookies, beer, crou-tons, French fries, gravies, sauces and anything ina sauce, matzo, pasta, all processed foods andprepared mixes, salad dressings, sauces includingsoy sauce, snack and junk foods including tortillaand corn chips, soup and soup bases, food addi-

tives and medications and vitamins that can usegluten as a binding agent. Many of these foodsare best to avoid anyway since they are highlyprocessed and missing nutrient density.

Amaranth Stir-FrySERVES 4

Sprinkle into salads, add to cookie batter, or stirin soups, this easy to cook ancient grain alwaysadds a little crunch. Quinoa is also an easy alter-native substitute.

1 cup amaranth or quinoa1 cup purified water1/ 2 teaspoon sea salt2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil,

unrefined sesame oil or coconut oil1 onion, sliced thinly1 carrot, chopped1 celery stalk, sliced1 cup mushrooms, sliced3 cloves garlic, chopped1/ 2 cup almonds, chopped1/ 4 cup sunflower seeds2 tablespoons natural soy saucewasabi, optional

Bring the amaranth (or quinoa) and water to aboil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until allwater is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes for ama-ranth and 12-15 minutes for quinoa.

In a wok or large fry pan sauté the vegetablesadding one at a time allowing the pan to heat upagain before adding the next ingredient. Afteradding the mushrooms, cover for 2 minutes.

Add garlic, almonds, seeds, and soy sauce.Using a fork, scratch the surface of the grain

to fluff.Toss amaranth or quinoa into vegetables

and toss until the flavors are thoroughly coat-ed on the grains. Add additional seasoning asneeded.

Serve in a bowl with wasabi on the side.Sauté veggies, garlic, almonds and seeds in the

oil until vegetables are tender crisp. Add soysauce, seasonings and amaranth or quinoa. Mixwell until warmed through.

The Full Scoop onAmaranth and Quinoa

Cooking amaranth is very easy — measuregrains and water, boil water, add grains, gentlyboil with the occasional stir for 15-20 minutes,then drain, rinse, and enjoy! Yes, it’s reallythat simple. Cooked amaranth behaves a littledifferently than other whole grains. It neverloses its crunch completely, but rather softenson the inside while maintaining enough outerintegrity so that the grains seem to popbetween your teeth. In fact, the sensation ofchewing a spoonful of cooked amaranth grainshas been compared to eating a spoonful ofcaviar (without the salty fishiness, of course).None of our culinary experts reported any suc-cess when trying to prepare amaranth for apilaf, but the cooked grains can be spread ona plate or other flat surface to dry a bit, thensprinkled on salads, added to cookie batters,or stirred into soups.

Most eye exams lead only to a prescription for glass-es which reinforces visual weakness and may notuncover more fundamental visual problems, which mayresult in the following symptoms: eyestrain, fatigue,discomfort with your glasses or contact lenses, over-sensitivity to light, short attention span, inability to con-centrate, general nervousness and tension, headaches,blurry or double vision, poor reading skills, and aca-demic underachievement, coordination difficulties, theneed to rub your eyes, and permanent squint or frown.

I will analyze your vision and prescribe special lens-es and/or daily eye exercise to rid you of your symp-toms and make your everyday life more comfortable. In

addition, I am the only optometrist in Manhattan whopractices Photoretinology, i.e., the branch of ocular sci-ence that uses varying light frequency therapy.

Due to Dr. Shapiro’s perspective and pioneering effortsin the field of vision therapy, he is well-received in bothholistic and traditional medical circles. He practiced in oneof the first holistic centers in New York City, Served as astaff member of the Chiefs of Ophthalmology ofManhattan Eye and Ear and Lenox Hill Hospitals, andserved as astaff member and clinical supervisor at theNew York Light House Low Vision Service.

Intestinal cleansing may eliminate years of accumu-lated toxic wastes and stop the unnecessary recycling ofpoisons that build up in the large intestine. Diluting toxicload may reduce stress on the liver, allowing greaterfunctioning of the eliminating organs. The quality ofwater used is particularly important in this process.

It is Kiva processed to become soft and carries bal-anced electrolytes in conjunction with negative ions.The PH is balanced into a more natural state.

Just as the story of the wind is written in the sand,our life stories, our fears, disappointments, and long-ings are written in the structure of our bodies. To movebeyond the limits of our history, we must change inmind and body. When we do so, we alter the course ofour lives-our fate-and create the chance for embodyingnew possibilities.

If you are seeking freedom from the limits ofinhibition or social phobia, relief from anxiety ordepression, if you want to improve your ability tocommunicate and relate to others, or increaseyour expressiveness for public speaking,singing, acting, or writing, consider this person-al, indepth, active approach. Therapy or coach-

ing, private sessions, groups, and workshops areoffered.
