The recent evidence on the harms of routine mammography has initiated considerable debate among medical experts as to what is the best approach for breast cancer screening – especially for women in their 40’s. It demands a closer look at how primary care physicians are making screening decisions for their patients. Rather than follow a basic protocol for screening based on age, it may be more appropriate to make informed decisions based on individual risk and patient preference to develop a personalized approach to mammography screening.

Medical experts generally agree that women with the following factors have a greater risk of developing breast cancer: first-degree relative with breast cancer history, BRCA gene mutations, past history or current smoker, obesity, nulliparity (not bearing offspring) and past or current use of hormone therapy.

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis was initiated to identify which risk factors for breast cancer are specific to women in their 40’s and to what extent, that in turn could assist in making individualized informed screening decisions (Risk Factors for Breast Cancer For Women Aged 40-49 Years, Annals of Internal Medicine, May 2012).

The researchers concluded that extremely dense breasts and first-degree relatives with breast cancer (mom or sister) each doubled the risk for breast cancer in women aged 40 to 49 years. Prior breast biopsy, second-degree relatives with breast cancer, or heterogeneously dense breasts (dissimilar density in one breast relative to the other) were each associated with a 1.5- to 2.0-fold increased risk. Current use of oral contraceptives, nulliparity, and age 30 years or older at first birth were associated with a 1.0- to 1.5-fold increased risk.

Although the study did not consider the effects of multiple risk factors (further research to study the combined effects of these factors on overall risk is warranted), identification of these individual risk factors may be useful for personalized mammography screening. Making screening decisions based on a woman’s individual cancer risk has the potential to save more lives than current conventional practice. Risk-based screening can refocus efforts onto the women who are most likely to benefit from screening, while minimizing associated harms in those who are not as likely to benefit from mammography screening. It is also important to respect the preferences of individual women. Joint decision making with the patient will ultimately help lead to better outcomes.

Just as there is not a “one-size-fits-all” undergarment to support women’s breasts, we are learning that neither is there a screening protocol that suits all women when it comes to breast cancer screening.

Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks or feel a disconnection between your mind and body?

Have you attempted to alter your feelings, thoughts or behaviours without success, no matter how hard you tried?

Perhaps you have even tried medication and/or psychotherapy, but still have not been able to see the change you hoped for?

Addressing symptoms with medication and/or various coping strategies can often provide some relief, but without complete resolution. You must address what is at the root of your mental health problem in order to truly resolve the problem. The issues must be addressed on the same level as they were initially founded – on the subconscious level, not the conscious level. The subconscious level is where you carry all real emotions, feelings and programmed beliefs.

From the time you were born your subconscious mind has been programmed with miscellaneous feelings and beliefs that others have imposed on you.

You may have been teased by your siblings or classmates about your appearance, your weight, your skills or lack of accomplishment. If this is true in your case, just imagine the programming: “I am not good enough, nobody loves me, I am fat, I am stupid, I am not worthy….”

These are examples of programming that can occur when we are young children. At that time, the beliefs can be imprinted deeply in our subconscious mind, controlling and influencing our thoughts, emotions, behaviors and actions. We are often unaware of some of the programming we carry, but we acting upon it or are influenced by it in a way that negatively impacts our lives. Even if our conscious mind knows that this “reality” is false, it is very hard to change the way you feel or behave.

It is when we work with the subconscious mind that everything changes. In hypnosis, we discover beliefs that we are holding about ourselves. We are already in the subconscious mind and we can reprogram the reality to reflect what is true for us and resolve inner conflict. We then reprogram the mind for inner harmony and success. There are no symptoms, no conflicts. Our conscious mind and subconscious mind are working together rather than against each other. The outcome is a liberated, more authentic you that can live life without the painful attachments that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest!

The following are methods and techniques that access the subconscious mind:

Hypnosis:

Your Mind can be trained. Hypnosis helps do that. It can help overcome or remove harmful habits and phobias as well as help with issues like self esteem and self-motivation, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, weight management, anger and limiting beliefs. Hypnosis is a wonderful healing tool that creates a natural state of mind and there are no side effects.

For more information on Hypnotherapy, visit our webpage

Imagination/Guided imagination:

Use your imagination. It is the language of the subconscious mind.

Visualize positive images and good health. Research has proven that our mental state has a direct impact on our body. Remember – the more realistic the visualization process, the better and faster the results.

Meditation:

Either transcendental or active meditation is beneficial for stress relief, allowing communication with your higher self, expanding your awareness and to deepen your own relationship with yourself.

Affirmations:

When in a meditative or an alpha state, repeat some positive affirmations.  For those of you not familiar with affirmations – think of them as simple positive statements that you repeat to yourself throughout the day.  They are spoken often to help penetrate your subconscious mind.  Affirmations are always done in the present tense, as if the action has already taken place.  Focus on what you want – not what you don’t want.

Depression and anxiety are the two most prevalent mental health conditions in North America.  Knowing when to seek help is vitally important for both the depressed or anxious person, and extremely helpful for their families and friends.  Receiving the proper support as early as possible helps prevent unwanted suffering.  It offers the person a foundation from which they can learn tools, skills and ways to not only cope, but to thrive.

Depression   

Everyone experiences feelings of unhappiness, sadness, grief, guilt, loss & failure from time to time in their life.  These emotions happen with the ups and downs of life, and usually pass after a short time.  For a person suffering from depression, these feelings are lasting.  If the following signs are ongoing, this indicates that it is time to seek help:

-        Feeling worthless, helpless or hopeless

-        Overwhelming feelings of sadness or grief

-        Feeling unreasonably guilty

-        Sleeping more or less than usual

-        Eating more or less than usual

-        Having difficulty concentrating or making decisions

-        Loss of motivation for daily self-care tasks

-        Loss of interest in pleasurable activities

-        Avoiding other people, isolating

-        Loss of energy, feeling very tired

-        Thoughts of death or suicide     Seek help immediately!  Resources include – Call the local crisis line, call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433), go to someplace safe, ie: therapist’s office, hospital emergency ward.  If not possible, call 911 

Anxiety    

Although everyone experiences temporary anxiety at times, the person with an anxiety disorder suffers from prolonged feelings of fear and distress for no obvious reason.  Their life becomes a difficult and fear-filled journey, affecting every area of their life including relationships with family, friends, co-workers and colleagues.  Seeking help is an opportunity to learn new and different ways to cope and live, providing skills and tools that one can use for a more relaxed approach to life.  The following signs indicate that it is beneficial to seek help at this time:

-        Feeling anxious all or most of the time

-        Panic attacks – sudden feelings of terror without warning, accompanied by heart           palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pains, dizziness, feelings of unreality or dying     

-        Anxiety attacks – feeling overcome by intense feelings of anxiety

-        Agoraphobia – avoiding situations which could trigger a panic or anxiety attack

-        Post traumatic stress disorder – may include flashbacks, nightmares, depression, anger or irritability

-        Obsessive compulsive disorder – having obsessions such as unwanted worry thoughts, racing thoughts, compulsions such as over-checking, organizing or counting

Sounds pretty impressive doesn’t it? Although the concept is simple enough for a child to grasp the practice can take some time to become comfortable for the body.

The demands placed on our mind and bodies in this time of technological advancement, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle, are nothing compared to what is happening to a generation trying to keep up with the demands of our time.

Meditation is far from a new idea. Our drive to be, do and have more has disconnected our spirit from body and mind, creating monumental dis-ease. Just as we work our bodies we shall also stretch our minds to accommodate this new period in our personal development as we open our hearts to infinite potentiality.

Anxiety, depression and a myriad of other mental health diagnosis can benefit from a healthy dose of meditation on a regular basis.  Scientists believe that meditators may be benefiting from changes in the brain. Researchers report that those who meditated for about 30 minutes a day for eight weeks had measurable changes in gray-matter density in parts of the brain associated with memory, sense of self, empathy, and stress.

Some find meditation easy to do from the beginning while others find it to be a bit of a struggle and some may even find it frustrating! Why should something that creates such a positive effect on the brain make a person feel so uncomfortable? That uncomfortable feeling is the body calming down. We are so conditioned to be ‘on alert’ all of the time that our bodies have almost forgotten what calm feels like. Many people unknowingly create distractions to divert themselves from feeling uncomfortable in the present moment.

There are basically two types of meditation – Conscious Meditation & Relaxation Meditation.   Conscious meditation anchors you into your body, to mindfully release tension and stress, and to experience yourself as a peaceful spirit in a human body.  Most relaxation meditations guide you away from your body, using imagery to offer relief from discomfort.  This is frequently used where someone is experiencing severe physical pain.  Eventually you will come back to your body and this is when most people realize they want to consciously make the changes they need from within.

Your meditation experience is unique to you, and there is no right or wrong way to meditate.  Having the right support can assist you in having a successful start to meditation.

A recent study published in the journal Cancer this past month demonstrates that early and repeated lifetime exposure to ionizing radiation from dental x-rays significantly increases the risk of developing meningiomas – the most common type of brain tumor reported in the US. The importance of this study needs to be emphasized because it highlights the dangers posed by dental x-rays. The results of the study clearly demonstrate that it is not a procedure with zero risk.

Over a lifetime, patients with meningioma were more than twice as likely as control subjects to have received a biteviewing exam, which uses an x-ray film held in place by a tab between the teeth. Biteviewing exams are relatively common. Less common are panorex exams, which offer a 2-dimensional view of the teeth and surrounding bones. Panorex exams were associated with a notably higher risk for meningioma among those screened when young and among those who had the exams yearly or more often.

The study offers an opportunity to bring awareness to the importance of optimal dental x-ray use, as exposure to ionizing radiation in dentistry is a modifiable risk factor. Patients and parents should have a clear and thorough discussion with their dentist about the risks and benefits of dental imaging in any given case.

As there are some clearly defined risks to ionizing exposure (even greater for the younger population) it is of critical importance that the dentist and patient or parents make an informed and intelligent decision about the need for x-ray. Procedures requiring the use of ionizing radiation should be limited to those situations when absolutely required rather than incorporated as part of a routine check up or when there is no evidence of a problem.

We all know how to take care of ourselves when we’re feeling under the weather – we rest, take our vitamin C & D and drink plenty of fluids.

But what do we do when our homes become sick? Yes, you read correctly. Our homes can in fact become sick, and the very place that should be our safe haven, can become hazardous to our health, and a breeding ground for chronic illness.

This is because our homes can get what is known as “sick building syndrome”.  Sick building syndrome occurs as a result of the deterioration of our indoor air quality caused by the accumulation of toxic gases known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are released from common household goods, including everything from your flooring and appliances to shampoo and food (Williams, 2012).

In addition to being carcinogenic and neurotoxic, long-term exposure to VOCs can lead to other serious health implications including, but not limited to, everything from respiratory dysfunction, genetic abnormalities, and dermatitis (Williams, 2012).

Moreover, studies have shown that the concentrations of pollutants such as formaldehyde, styrene and biological pollutants (bacteria, viruses, moulds etc.) are often present in significantly higher concentrations – reaching anywhere from 2 – 50 fold higher concentrations – indoors versus outdoors, due to lack of ventilation and confined/tightly-sealed indoor spaces (Health Canada, 2011 & the California Environmental Protection Agency, 2006).

The widespread use of VOCs in the manufacturing of our everyday items makes exposure to them largely unavoidable, whether at home or in the workplace. Fortunately, mother-nature has equipped us with a powerful arsenal, in the form of plants, capable of effectively removing these toxins from our environment.

Much in the way that plants are able to absorb CO2 from our atmosphere and break it down through photosynthesis to use it as plant food and release precious O2 back into our environment, plants are able to do the same with VOCs. Having established a long-standing symbiotic relationship with various microbes, plants are able to utilize VOC breakdown products as an energy source; thereby, reducing VOC concentrations in our environment and improving overall air quality.

In 1989, a study conducted by NASA, led by Dr. B.C Wolverton, used experimental, sealed-off chambers to evaluate the efficacy of a variety of household plants in their ability to remove toxic substances such as formaldehyde from indoor air. Results showed that certain plants are markedly effective in reducing the presence of toxins in indoor environments, leading to improved overall indoor air quality.

According to Wolverton Environmental, the household plants reported as among the best plants for removing the most common indoor pollutant – formaldehyde – are listed below:

• Boston fern
• Dwarf date palm
• Bamboo palm
• Janet Craig
• English ivy
• Weeping fig
• Peace lily
• Areca palm
• Corn plant
• Lady palm

By incorporating the plants most effective at removing the most prevalent toxin in indoor air, Wolverton Environmental hypothesizes that the other harmful chemicals will be absorbed along with formaldehyde.

According to Health Canada, Canadians spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, making indoor air pollution a serious public health concern.  The systemic-wide implications of long-term exposure to toxins within the home poses an imminent threat to human health, but by simply adding household plants throughout your home, you can naturally and effectively restore the health of your home and protect the health of your family.

The Canadian Mental Health Association states that about 1 in 5 Canadians – over 6.5 million people – will experience a mental health disorder during their lifetime.  This is 20% of our population.

People with mental health issues face challenges in a myriad of ways. On top of their own internal sufferings, many struggle with basic necessary life supports, such as having a comfortable home, finding and/or maintaining employment, going to school, proper health care, gaining insurance, maintaining meaningful relationships, self-esteem and receiving love and acceptance.  On top of all these challenges and more, those with mental health conditions constantly face a very negative stigma that has been passed down historically through cultures, society, families and individuals.  This stigma implies that having a mental health disorder or issue means a person is somehow weak, incompetent, shameful, will never recover and will never be a contribution to society.  Moreover, the person is often blamed for having their condition.  Too often, they also blame themselves.

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, most people with a mental health issue say that the stigma is actually worse than the symptoms they experience.  The CMHA further states that this stigma is – in reality – prejudice and discrimination, which is fueled by fear and misconceptions.  For example, many fear that a mentally-challenged person may become violent, which is actually unlikely.

In actuality, having a mental health issue ought to be as acceptable and given as much attention as having a physical health issue.  Both involve times of needing extra support; lifestyle adjustments; work flexibility; time off/out; non-judgemental  understanding and acceptance from others.  In fact, most people with mental health issues do recover and lead happy and productive lives.

Mental health challenges can affect anybody.  Taking a mind/body/spirit approach brings us balance.  Balance is crucial for emotional and mental well-being.  Our bodies’ needs include healthy food, exercise, and a good night’s sleep every night.  We  require healthy self-esteem, close & trusting relationships, emotional intimacy, caring, to love and be loved.  We all must learn how to manage the demands and stresses in our lives, and to handle our emotions.  We also need to learn to accept our own limits, listen to our body’s cues and pay attention to our needs.

With 20% of Canadians experiencing a mental health challenge at some point in their lifetime, it is time for all of us – individually and collectively – to remove any stigma that exists about emotional and mental health.  We can do this first by clearing up any of our own prejudices, getting more informed about mental health, and offering our help in our own way.  Talk to people struggling with mental health issues, and get to know them as the unique human beings that they are, that we all are.   Everyone deserves connection and positive regard, and we all as human beings are inherently worthy and equal.

 - I recently read “Changing My Mind” – a book of memoirs by Margaret Trudeau. In her inspiring book, Margaret speaks freely about her 30-year struggle with bi-polar disorder – what she has suffered, how she has been helped, and how she now focuses on what really matters to her in life.  She is an author and public speaker, who travels all over the world speaking to thousands of people about bi-polar disorder.  She is a continual advocate of helping to remove the stigma held about mental health issues.

Q:  What were your initial thoughts when Dr. Gurm suggested you do a 28-day detox program?

Chris: Diet? I’ve been on them before and they have never been pleasant – I’m a diet skeptic. All the diets I’ve been on have been boring and leave me hungry!

Q:  What were your concerns about doing a detox?

Chris: The whole thought of dieting and my experience. I feared the feeling of always being hungry and left with a limited choice of what I can eat.

Q: What made you decide to do go ahead with it?

Chris: I needed to loose weight, control my blood pressure, and my wife was on board with me. Dr. Gurm triggered my interest with this detox and how there is a wide variety of food choices and recipes out of The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook. [available for purchase at Port Moody Naturopathic]. This detox appeared to be the right avenue to take.

Q: Once you started, was it as difficult as you thought it was going to be?

Chris: No! I was not constantly hungry and left thinking about food because I was able to eat a good variety of foods. The diet change was very interesting and still is. It has changed my habits because it was 25 days – I haven’t gone back to how I was eating before. My wife and I have introduced different foods back into our diet, but generally have changed our diet.

Q:  Did you find the cookbook helpful? What new foods did you try?

Chris: Very helpful! We have really enjoyed the cookbook and are continuing to use it. We have tried a variety of new foods including artichoke, kale, cabbage, and various spices and have replaced nectar with sugar. We have learned to prep more before meals and have really enjoyed this process together.

Q:  What was your diet like prior to commencing the detox program?

Chris: I didn’t feel that it was that bad. We didn’t eat a lot of processed foods or red meat. We would have breads and white rice but have now replaced those with different grains.  We did not think our diet was that bad previous to the detox but it was quite different from our diet now.

Q: How was the taste of the detox powder you were prescribed?

Chris: I mixed the powder with berries or cranberry juice and it wasn’t a problem – I avoided having the powder with just water.

Q: What changes have you noticed?

Chris: The biggest difference has been continuing the diet and continuing to loose weight. I now enjoy the process of grocery shopping and preparing food with my wife before meals.

Q: How much weight did you lose with the detox?

Chris: Since the detox, I have lost 14 to 15 pounds and my wife has lost 14 pounds. As we stay with the diet, my wife and I are continuing to lose weight.

Q: Did you expect that you would make permanent changes?

Chris: No, but because of how we feel and we are enjoying the food, we have decided to continue this diet. It is no longer a diet but a lifestyle change.

Q: Would you do this detox again?

Chris: I wouldn’t have a problem doing this detox again – it wouldn’t be a [significant] change from my current lifestyle.

Q: Would you recommend this detox to others?

Chris: Yes. There was not the issue around the detox that I had anticipated. Detox sounds onerous but is was not. Apart from lack of energy and withdrawal symptoms, I did not find this detox difficult to overcome.

Q: What would you tell someone who was hesitant to commit to a 28-day detox program?

Chris: I would ask them why and what their issues are [around doing a] detox…the benefits far outweigh the discomfort…if they want to get rid of their current issues – sometimes a little pain is needed to make a little gain.

Chris also enjoys making a variety of green smoothies and enjoys making them for an easy to-go lunch when he is on the go. Some of his favorite smoothie items include kale, cabbage, mint, flax, lemon juice, ginger, apple, pears, and kiwi.

Metabolic Health & Freedom From Disordered Eating

‘Emotional eating’ is a term that applies to any type of disordered eating patterns – including compulsive eating, overeating, dieting then binging, bulimia, anorexia, sneaking or hiding food, &  more.  Emotional eating means eating for emotional reasons rather than for nourishing the body.  There are feelings going on that we may or may not be aware of, that propel us to want to eat.  Examples of these feelings may be loneliness, sadness, fear, anger, guilt, depression, stress or generalized anxiety.  With emotional eating, food is used in order to “stuff down” painful emotions, to “fill up” an emptiness inside, to somehow provide comfort or solace.

Our digestive system is, of course, greatly affected by what we eat, how we eat it, how much we eat and how often we eat.  When we eat for emotional reasons rather than for nourishment, we are usually oblivious to how we are eating.

Let’s use overeating as an example, as it is extremely common and often condoned in our society.  The following are commonly associated with emotional overeating:

1) The food chosen for emotional eating is often sweet & sugary and /or high-fat.

2) With each bite there is  most likely too much food on the fork, spoon or in hand.

3) Eating will probably be too fast, meaning one bite after the other is forced down quickly.

4) With fast eating, chewing is compromised and much of the food will be unchewed and undigested.

5) Eating until full, and often over-full.

All of these habits place extra burdens on the digestive system. Here are a few examples of how emotional eating affects our digestive system.  The high-sugar or high-fat foods are detrimental to our health and make our digestive organs such as the liver and pancreas have to work harder.  Forcing ‘too much’ food at once into the mouth and down the esophagus, plus eating until you are full or over-full, puts extra pressure on the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), the valve at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach, forcing it to open wider than it is meant to and for longer periods of time.  This can lead to acid reflux conditions such as GERD (gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease), where the LES valve has become so lax that acid from the stomach will make its way upward into the esophagus, which can be damaging to the sensitive tissues of esophagus.  Lack of thorough chewing means that solid food must make its way through the digestive system.  Contrary to what many may think, the stomach cannot break down all solid chunks of food that have not been chewed thoroughly.  By the time the food reaches the small intestine, it is in liquid form and ready to be absorbed.  This liquid,  called chyme, then moves from the small intestine into the colon via the ileo-cecal valve.  This is a one-way valve that is meant to stay closed, and opens only when needed.  If there are solid pieces of unchewed, undigested food entering the colon, then this valve is forced to open wider than usual and/or for longer than usual.  This situation can allow contents of the colon to go back into the small intestine, which is the wrong way through this one-way valve.  The colon contents are too toxic and acidic for the more alkaline and delicate tissues of the small intestine, and ill health can result.  Also, overeating affects the health and function of the colon.  It can lead to spastic areas, distention and prolapse, and lack of muscle tone,  which all contribute to constipation.

It has been said that how we eat and digest our food can be seen as a microcosm of how we ‘digest life’.  Working through and resolving emotional eating issues is not only important for emotional and mental health, but actually very necessary for physical health.  The rewards to be gained of improved health and well-being are well-worth it.

Susan Kinross is a Registered Professional Counsellor at Port Moody Naturopathic Health & Wellness.  She offers individual counselling & Emotional Eating workshops to help people find freedom from compulsive eating and food addiction. 

It is known that CoQ10 supplementation can play a beneficial role in male fertility, based on its positive effects on improving sperm parameters. Research presented last year at the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society indicates CoQ10 may also play a role in female fertility – especially for middle-aged women who wish to conceive. An animal study performed on mice demonstrated that middle-aged mice receiving CoQ10 had more eggs and better quality eggs than those that received a placebo. CoQ10 is an antioxidant which may work to prevent damage to eggs related to age. If it works in humans as it did in mice it’s possible to slow down the effect of age on fertility, meaning allow women to retain their eggs longer and those eggs could be of better quality.

While human studies are warranted to demonstrate a direct link to CoQ10 supplementation and preservation of human egg quality, there are many other health benefits to taking CoQ10 and no known adverse interactions or contraindications. Along with other therapeutic interventions, supplementation with CoQ10 should be a consideration to improve fertility outcomes.
