Read the Newsletter Fall 2009 Holistic Care for Whole People www.sojourns.org 4923 US Route 5 Westminster, VT 05158 (802) 722-4023 Dear Friends, "is Fall issue of the newsletter is arriving just in time for "anksgiving. What better time to give thanks to everyone who makes Sojourns the special place it has become for so many? As we approach our 9th birthday, we reflect on all we’ve accomplished with pride, while continuing to dream about where we are going. "ank you for being part of this amazing journey ! ~Cynthia N. Moore, MS, Executive Director Kim Peavey has been coming to Sojourns for nearly five years. She lives and works on a 53-acre farm in Westmoreland, New Hampshire. What first brought you to Sojourns? A recommendation from a good friend. I had a bellyful (and an armful and a legful and a headful) of negative experiences with the conventional medical establishment, and was looking for something different. I felt myself relax as soon as I walked into the beautiful waiting room at Sojourns. It’s a place that recognizes that your whole self is essential to healing. What is your whole self engaged in when you’re not relaxing at Sojourns? (Laughter) I write. Poetry mostly, some articles and essays. Much of my writing is informed by growing up on a family dairy farm in the foothills of the Adirondacks in Central New York State, as well as by my interests in both literature and theology. I have graduate degrees in both areas, and am especially intrigued by the connections between religion and ecology, spirit and place. "at’s another thing I like about Sojourns: the commitment to harmony in the buildings and grounds. “Sojourns is an inviting place, a place that doesn’t ask you to check your brain, I also get excited about the use of poetry and other literature in or your emotions, or your experience, or community or church rituals. Every spring, I co-lead an ecumeni- your understanding of the world, at the cal Easter service in Keene that alternates music and readings, door.” including contemporary poetry. My big leap this year was reading —Kim Peavey one of my own poems during the service. continued on page 2 Sojourns Newsletter Fall 2009 Kim Peavey continued from page 1 I’m close to completing a novel, set in the 1870’s, the time of the long cattle drives and the railroads being built. It’s a coming of age story about a young woman who is raised in the Eastern U.S., and travels out West before coming back home (and to herself) again. My first “prescription” from Sojourns’ naturopathic doctor, Cliff Steinberg, included “Write every day”! I may not earn a living by writing, but it certainly feels like my essential work, in this lifetime, at least. So, how do you pay your bills at Sojourns? (More laughter) If I ever get my novel published, I’ll donate some of the proceeds to Sojourns! My other work that I love, and that doesn’t pay much, is farming. My spouse, Frank Hunter, and I (and our nine-year-old daughter, Gwen) have a Community Supported Agriculture Garden where we raise vegetables organically/biodynamically for sixty local households. CSA members join at the beginning of the season and come to the farm once a week from early June to late November to pick up Shares of the week’s harvest. We work with our Percheron and Belgian draft horses to grow and cultivate over fifty varieties of vegetables, berries, herbs, and cutting flowers. By the way, we are accepting new members for the 2010 season (www.hillsidespringsfarm.com). We’re centrally located, minutes from the famous Sojourns clinic! How do you have time to get to Sojourns ? I like coming to Sojourns! I’ve gotten so much incredible help and support for my health troubles. Sojourns feels to me like a place that “opens”, or allows for opening, because it holds a space dedicated to healing on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. !e healing of the whole self again. Yes. "e whole self, and the whole self in relationship to all that surrounds us. Plus Sojourns has a therapy dog, hot tea, and is in the middle of an organic farm. What more could you ask for? Poetry readings? Now there’s an idea. “Sojourns feels to me like a place that “opens”, or allows for opening, because it holds a space dedicated to healing on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.” Kim Peavey page # 2 Sojourns Newsletter Fall 2009 Flu season is upon us Stay healthy and support your immune system Listening to the news about this flu season is not good for my health. "ere is confusion; the media creates frenzy; and it is stressing me out! t "ere is a lot of discussion about vaccination but very little discussion about common sense. Let’s remember what is really important in order to stay healthy this time of year. Flu prevention needs a combination of healthy prac- tices and strong immunity that cannot come from vaccines alone. t Vaccines are never an adequate replacement for good health measures. We need exquisite nutrition, restful sleep, plenty of laughter, play and movement. We also need excellent hand washing technique. We need to stay home when we are ill, for our own benefit and that of others. We need to see our health care provider and ask for help to navigate our options. And we need to think criti- cally about what we see, hear and feel. t I am recommending all of the above—plus Vitamin D, probiotics, herbal immune support, and fish oils to many of my patients. Some patients, in addition, may choose a combination of IV therapy, immune boosts and/or conventional vaccination. t Don’t let the hype make you stressed; it depletes your immunity. Get in for a consult and come up with a good solid healthy plan so you can float easily through the season. by Dr. Amy Littlefield Consider our Immune Boost "e Immune Boost is a series of three intramuscular injections, given 2 weeks apart. It contains three homeopathic remedies in combination: t &DIJOBDFBDPNQPTJUVN4UJNVMBUFTUIFCPEZTHFOFSBMJNNVOFSFTQPOTFBOENPEFSBUFTJOnBNNBUJPO t &OHZTUPM"DUJWBUFTUIFJNNVOFSFTQPOTF QBSUJDVMBSMZBHBJOTUWJSVTFT t (SJQQ)FFM4UJNVMBUFTUIFJNNVOFEFGFOTFTBHBJOTUUIFJOnVFO[BWJSVT When should I get it? First, ask your practitioner if it is right for you. It can be given any time of the year to help in fighting an acute infection; or it can be used as a preventive measure. Fall is an ideal time, in order to prepare for the viral infections that are common during the winter months. Does the Immune Boost replace the seasonal influenza vaccination or the H1N1 influ- enza vaccination? Many people who choose not to get a flu vaccine choose to use the Immune Boost. "e vaccine and the Immune Boost do not act in the same way, however. Influenza vaccinations are designed and tested to create a specific antibody response to specific influenza viruses, but offer no protection from other viruses. "e Immune Boost is designed to strengthen and stimulate your body’s natural defenses against infections, and viral infections in particular. "e Immune Boost has not been tested against the influenza virus. If you have had an influenza vaccination, it may still be a good idea to consider the Immune Boost. Is the Immune Boost safe? It carries very little risk of side effects. While rare, there is a slight chance that you could have a hypersensitivity reaction to one of the components of the Immune Boost. Please tell your health care practitioner of any allergies that you may have. by Dr. Greg Burkland Sojourns Newsletter Fall 2009 page # 3 Kids & Chiropractic Chiropractic care is safe and effective for children of all ages. In fact, a first Sophia: “I feel awesome when I get adjusted. It helps me fall asleep. I chiropractic examination and treatment like getting adjusted because it makes me feel really good. I have been right after birth can ease the effects of the getting adjusted since I was 3 days old. I am now 9.” stress of the birth process. Chiropractic works with the nervous system to maintain and improve the function of the whole body. All of our systems—including our muscular, glandular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, eliminatory, hormonal and immuno- logical systems—depend on optimal function of the nervous system. Our nerves are our primary communication channels.

Chiropractic is not just for back pain. Chiropractic promotes whole Esther: “I like it a lot when I do it, body wellness by supporting nerve function. When a child has an ear and I feel better after. ” infection or asthma, chiropractic adjustments can relieve stress on the nerves to the immune, musculoskeletal and respiratory systems. By reducing the stress on these systems, the body can fight the condition more effectively. Chiropractic does not treat ear infections and asthma; it improves the body’s ability to work optimally and restore the health that is innate to all of us. Some parents wonder what chiropractic adjustments look and feel like for a young child. Children are fragile, yet tough (as anyone can attest to if they’ve ever seen a child being born).

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

    The following article is verbatim from http://biomedx.com/microscopes/rrintro/rrintro.html It all begins with pH THE pH REGULATORY SYSTEM OF THE BODY The pH balance of the human bloodstream is recognized by all medical physiology texts as one of the most important biochemical balances in all of human body chemistry. pH is the acronym for "Potential Hydrogen". In definition, it is the degree of concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution. It is measured on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 14. Higher numbers means a substance is more alkaline in nature and there is a greater potential for absorbing more hydrogen ions. Lower numbers indicate more acidity with less potential for absorbing hydrogen ions. Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our body's biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of enzyme activity as well as the speed that electricity moves through our body. The higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity travels slower with higher pH. All biochemical reactions and electrical (life) energy are under pH control. If we say something has an acid pH, we are saying it is hot and fast. As an example, look at the battery of your car. It's an acid battery. On cold days you want it to be hot and ready, and you want your car to start fast. Alkaline pH on the other hand, biochemically speaking, is slow and cool. Compare it to an alkaline battery in a flashlight.

  • Evaluation of Recombinant Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor VEGF121-Loaded Poly-L-Lactide Microparticles As a Controlled Release Delivery System
    Turkish Journal of Biology Turk J Biol (2020) 44: 34-47 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/biology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/biy-1908-32 Evaluation of recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF121-loaded poly-l-lactide microparticles as a controlled release delivery system 1 2 1, Sunil ABRAHAM , Srinivasa Prasad RANGASWAMY , Amutha CHINNAIAH * 1 Department of Animal Behavior and Physiology, School of Biological Sciences, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, India 2 Innov4Sight Health and Biomedical Systems Biologics Laboratory, Karnataka, India Received: 16.08.2019 Accepted/Published Online: 17.12.2019 Final Version: 17.02.2020 Abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is an important growth factor that plays a major role in angiogenesis. With different isoforms distributed in various tissues, the shortest isoform of VEGF-A is VEGF121, one of the physiologically functional variants next to VEGF165. It is well known that VEGF has a shorter half-life, and the stability of the protein must be considered in therapeutic aspects. Poly-l-lactide (PLA) microparticles can release the encapsulated protein in a sustained release mode. In this study, the VEGF121 gene was cloned and expressed in a prokaryotic expression system (Escherichia coli). The recombinant VEGF121 was encapsulated with PLA microparticles and studied in vitro and ex ovo for the sustained release mechanism. The PLA-VEGF microparticles and the recombinant VEGF121 were explored for their bioactivity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). VEGF released in vitro from PLA microparticles on days 1, 20, and 30 showed remarkable biological activity compared to PBS-loaded PLA microparticles such as the ability of the cells to proliferate, migrate, and form tubes similar to recombinant VEGF121.
