Greetings!

The Holiday season has arrived and what a wonderful time of year it is!

With the arrival of a new year, the term tabula rasa (clean slate) comes to mind, a chance to clean and create a new you. Forget about last year's track record, so you didn't get off the treadmill of life and onto the treadmill at the gym. You lost more sleep than weight. And you were much better at making the ny/lax connection than the mindy/body one. That was then, this is now. Clean Slate, its time to renew your resources, its time to see change with Sea Change.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Have you been saying that to yourself lately? While life is certainly accelerated, I purposely and gratefully acknowledge what a blessed year 2006 has been, while planning for an even more abundant, healthy, and satisfying 2007. What about you?

I want to offer you a very special gift because I’d like to meet, one-on-one with you, to chat about plans for 2007. Do you hope that it’s a carbon-copy of 2006? Or is 2006 one that you would like to crinkle up and throw in the trash never to be repeated again? For either scenario, what’s your plan to make 2007 a most memorable year?

Internal Cleansing for Renewal and Rejuvenation

by Terry Shirvani, N.D.

In our modern world, we are bombarded with hundreds, if not thousands, of pollutants and toxins—in our air, our water and our food. Now, more than ever, the importance of regular internal cleansing cannot be overemphasized. Healing traditions around the world recommend fasting and purification rituals as an integral part of the healing process. The unique Ayurvedic tradition of Panchakarma (PK) is a purification and rejuvenation system involving a series of specialized treatments designed to clear ama, or toxins, from the body.

PK can be distilled into three basic phases and I’ve included simple actions you can take on your own to accomplish each phase.

You're going to begin swapping nutritionally problematic foods for healthier ones. Don't be surprised if you feel moody or headachy as a result, especially if you normally drink caffeine. This response will likely lessen in the coming days.

DAY #1 - Drink Water and Eat Consciously

Add lots of water to your diet! Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day for all 7 days. Start each day with your first glass of water - you may fortify it with fresh lemon juice for added zing. Pace your water consumption throughout the day. Water is best when served at room temperature. Begin each of your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with a tall glass of water.

Completely eliminate all caffeine, coffee and teas, caffeinated soda, all alcoholic and carbonated beverages. Replace these beverages with water, organic veggie juice, and decaffeinated herbal tea.

Take the Challenge!

We love it when our practice members express some of their growth within our office. For those of you that are curious about the benefits of Network Care, here are some recent testimonials:

“My digestion, posture, and years of annoying mid-section tension seems to have been alleviated." Going to the gym has become easier, and even my eating habits have changed for the better.”

— P. Marino (under care for 4 weeks)

“I feel more intuned with my body, my mind, & my spirit and how they work or can work together. Feelings, thoughts, emotions have come up that have made me think about my role in my own healing. I feel guided but very much like I am doing the work. (Thru) other medical experiences I've felt powerless. I feel I have achieved a very strong role in my own growth and wellbeing.”

— C. Nichols (under care for 5 months)
