My iPhone app turned 2 last week, and although sales have not yet taken off, at least some of the people who are buying it think it’s a good app. That makes me happy.
I do believe the app can be informative, though-provoking, and of course helpful.
Take a peek and possibly download it if you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Off to NYC for a wedding. I’ve been eating like it’s my last Summer, so I’ll bring…cooked brown rice, pickles, sweet vegetable drink, water and EdenBlend for coffee. I will relax, eat lightly, chew well, and walk plenty. Shouldn’t be a problem in Manhattan! More info at http://www.davidsorganic.wordpress.com
Today’s Breakfast…ginger-squash-miso soup, brown rice, herb-steamed summer squash & carrots and a moist walk in the woods. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/feel-better-look-younger-be/id353549374?mt=8
At my house we are about 95% vegan. It is now the norm for us, and we like it, although you may find it to be weird, because it’s different.
It has helped us avoid going to the doctor for the past ten years or so, and makes us feel good about helping our animal friends and the environment.
About five times per year, sometimes at major holidays or celebrations, or sometimes when our bodies crave animal, we’ll buy some fish or fowl,
always wild, always organic, or perhaps get a pizza or an omelet, from a carefully selected vendor.
You may notice that there are often recalls of food for bacteria or other problems. Nine times out of ten, these are animal foods. The latest is eggs,
but many times it is ground beef. A lot of health problems (such as the entire football team that got muscle cramps the other day) are caused by
food additives, that are meant to cover up rotting animal foods, or make them taste or look appealing. Not what nature intended.
If you want better health, take baby steps towards eating vegan. Try a meal with soup, grain, vegetables and beans. If that seems like it’s not
enough, add some mushrooms, nuts, seeds or fruit. Chew it well and appreciate that you have food, while so many others don’t.

Peace!!
My sister needs your prayers for gaining strength and peace…

HEALING VERSUS CURING (by Tom Monte)
There is a fundamental difference between curing, which is the work done by medical doctors, and healing, done primarily by practitioners of complementary medicine.
Medical doctors discover the presence of disease by detecting the presence of certain signs and symptoms. Once an illness is found, doctors attempt to cure it by eliminating those signs and symptoms, usually through the use of pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, or radiation treatments. Drugs are used, for example, to relieve arthritis pain, or lower high blood pressure, or treat chronic stomach distress.
Though the symptoms and signs of an illness may be eliminated, the underlying cause of the disorder — as well as the behaviors that contribute to the disease — are largely unchanged. The person may be said to be cured of headache, or high blood pressure, but the causes of both disorders remain unchanged.
Curing requires very little behavioral change from the person being treated. He or she merely submits to the doctor’s treatment and is said to be cured.
To heal means to change the underlying condition that either created the illness in the first place, or support its continued presence. The vast majority of the illnesses that afflict and kill people today take a long time to create and finally present symptoms and signs. Heart disease, the common cancers, adult-onset diabetes (type 2), high blood pressure, digestive disorders, and forms of arthritis are usually the consequence of long-standing behaviors, such as dietary practices, cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, stress, and other behaviors that destroy health. These behaviors create the conditions for illness and support its life.
To heal means to reduce or eliminate the conditions that support disease and replace those conditions with those that create and support health.
When a doctor tells a patient that there is no cure, it means that there is no treatment that the doctor can administer to eliminate the illness. It does not mean that the person cannot be healed. There is no cure for heart disease, for example, but we all know that a person with heart disease can be fully healed and the illness eliminated from the body. To be healed, the patient himself must change his behavior.
Healing is more often the domain of competent complementary healers, while curing is the domain of medical doctors. Depending on the situation, both approaches may be necessary. In many instances, each approach is enhanced by embracing the other.

Sometimes we eat too much, including rich foods,
and we have trouble eliminating the next day.
Solution? There are many ideas, why not try a few?
1. Eat less the entire next day, and chew very thoroughly
2. Take a long walk in the morning following the party
3. Do gentle stretches for minutes vs. seconds, while breathing deeply
4. Eat soup, brown rice and cooked organic vegetables (kale, onions, carrots for example) 5. Eat chopped daikon with soy sauce
If you miss going #2 in the morning, another great time
is between 5pm-7pm. Try another walk later in the day,
then don’t eat dinner until you’ve gone to the bathroom.
Hope that helps. It’s worked for us.

The stores here have more salt on the shelves as you walk in,
versus more sugar in Boston. A lesson in yin and yang.
People here are looking to be grounded, whereas on the
east coast people want to relax.
Medicinal marijuana has people already relaxed I guess.
My 14 year old son has been mostly vegan for over ten years, and enjoying his first extended period away from the family at overnight camp. The lessons are many.
No news for five days, seemed like good news. Then all of a
sudden, a flurry of emails. Seems he enjoyed the eggs offered at breakfast so much, he had them every day. Most likely he also partook of the soda and cookies at lunch, and did not have his parents to help him balance his transgressions.
A visit from Mom (he was only 12 miles away), with some healing foods, a new belt, some laundry assistance, and a few reassuring hugs brought him back from the brink. He learned a valuable lesson about the food, so the words I gave him had nothing to do with the obvious. I said:
• Breathe
• Body Rubs
• Chew Well
• Nature Walks
He knows what to do, and we are going down to Providence today for WaterFire without reservation.
Do you know what to do? How can I help you? david@kaganmedia.net
