The South Beach Detox: A CURE TO EATING DISORDERS?

“The South Beach Detox: “A cure for Anorexia?”

“A South Beach Yoga Studio develops a detox program that could hold the key to cure millions of young sufferers, mostly females, of Anorexia.”

While The South Beach Detox was not originally developed with curing Anorexia in mind, it most definitely has the potential to do so.

The South Beach Detox is essentially a cleansing program which main objective is to bring both body and mind to a state of perfect balance, ultimately promoting health, mental stability and vitality. Through
the combination of a flawless nutritional approach, a highly effective yoga
sequence, and a supportive awareness meditation program, the recipients of The
South Beach Detox experience a powerful personal transformation that melts away all conditioned
responses and unhealthy habits embedded in their old personality, leaving space
to create the New.

“The synergetic effects of the components of The South Beach Detoxnormal""> literally propel you to the next level of performance on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels!”, says Yoga Master, Fred Busch, creator of The South
Beach Detox, who enthusiastically adds, “It’s not just that you’re feeding your body
with the most perfect food on Earth, creating the perfect balance between
exercise and rest according to your body’s needs, or that you are aware of the
state of perfect bliss you access when you really listen and heed your body’s inner
intelligence, it’s that you’re doing it all together!yes""> And, that doing it all together is what transforms you into
this powerhouse of endless energy and equanimity.yes""> Anybody who has experienced the magical metamorphosis of The
South Detox bears witness that it partakes
of the principles of Alchemy!”

Because The South Beach Detox integrates all the elements necessary to “re-create” a person from scratch – i.e. at the cellular level, it is most suited for people suffering from conditions resulting from deeply-rooted complexes and mental impressions that
may already have crystallized themselves, not just on the mental but also the
physical level of their being, such as in the case of Anorexia.

Ranked #1 Superfood by renowned health authorities, the E3Live supplements, which form the foundation of The South Beach Detox,
represent the highest quality food we can bring to our body. This, of course, constitutes one of the
fundamental benefits of The South Beach Detox when it comes to Anorexia. Because in such extreme cases the body is so severely
undernourished, or even often starved, bringing it a perfect food like E3Live immediately restores its
vital balance. Appeased, the body
is now able to relax and allow the remainder of the miracle to start
unfolding. The combination of a
healthy exercise plan and a perfectly orchestrated “spiritual awakening” program
dissolves any trace of resistance, leading to a full surrender where the
recipients start to truly respond to their nutritional needs at the cellular
level. Soon, the appetite increases,
but because the food intake is intelligent and healthy, the weight gain takes
place at a very slow pace, which proves much more manageable psychologically in
the case of Anorexia. Finally, the
obsessive preoccupation with body weight, food intake, and excessive exercising
disappears and, free of fear, the sufferers of Anorexia are able to start
moving towards their natural body weight without a second thought.

Alessandrina Lerner, a recovering Anorexic, who participated in The South Beach Detox and was so enthralled by the results that she is now working with Fred Busch to disseminate the program says, “I
struggled with Anorexia for over 20 years, bouncing from Therapists to Recovery
Programs, AA Meetings to various Support Groups without success, then I
attended the Yoga Teacher’s training with Fred Busch.yes""> Through an intelligent and balanced approach to nutrition,
exercise/ rest, and a deep awareness of the processes involved in my unhealthy
eating habits, I soon found myself empowered to change all my habits and put an
end to the vicious cycle I had fallen victim to.yes""> As I watched in awe the personal transformation occurring
within my body and mind, soon emerged the butterfly that had been trapped in
its cocoon for so long. Thanks to
The South Beach Detox®, I am finally free of Anorexia, I am moving towards a
healthy body weight and I’ve never felt so good inside both my body and my mind.”

How ironic that what could possibly be the cure for Anorexia would be conceived in the heart of South Beach, renowned headquarters for the Modeling industry, a sector long plagued by the disease, and where it may most likely
continue to develop if industry standards don’t change.

Regardless of whether or not it is the miracle cure so many sufferers of Anorexia have been waiting for, it is without a doubt the most wholesome and effective detox program anyone could ever hope for!

Nutrition & Food: 'From Dr. Weil's Healthy Kitchen: Stuffed Potatoes"

Nutrition & Food: 'From Dr. Weil's Healthy Kitchen: Stuffed Potatoes"

Dr. Weil's Daily Tip, January 1, 2011

Transitioning from a meat-based diet to a healthier and more varied diet that includes the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables can be extremely challenging. For ideas of healthful recipes, visit our website at www.thesouthbeachdetox.com or read below for one of Dr. Weil's delicious and healthy recipe.

It can be difficult to coax your loved ones into eating five servings

a day of vegetables (as nutritionists recommend). That's why this

recipe cleverly incorporates broccoli into a baked potato. Broccoli

is an excellent source of fiber and cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Potatoes are a universally loved vegetable loaded with vitamins C

and B-6, potassium and fiber. And, best of all, this recipe is low in

fat. You can make the stuffed potatoes ahead and reheat them

when everyone is ready to eat.

Ingredients

3 large baking potatoes

2 large stalks broccoli

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1-2 tablespoons lowfat milk, rice milk or soy milk

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (preferably a cheese alternative)

Instructions

1. Scrub the potatoes and make shallow cuts around their middles

to make it easier to cut them in half after baking. Bake the

potatoes at 400 degrees until soft, about 1 hour, depending on the

size of the potatoes.

2. Meanwhile, cut the ends from the stalks of broccoli and peel

some of the outer skin off to make the stems more edible. Steam

the broccoli until crunchy-tender and bright green. Drain and chop

fine.

3. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Add

the salt, olive oil and just enough rice or soy milk to allow you to

mash the potatoes into a smooth paste. Add the Parmesan cheese

and the chopped broccoli and mix well.

4. Pile the mixture back into the potato shells, arrange on a baking

dish and heat them to desired temperature.

Enjoy!

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Vitamin D in Winter Time'

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Vitamin D in Winter Time'

Dr. Weil's Daily Tip, January 6, 2011

Getting an adequate supply of Vitamin D is essential to maintain good health and high spirits and is also key in the prevention of high-risk conditions. Daily sun exposure can help you with that. To find out more, read below.

Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient with a central role in maintaining health. I recommend prudent daily sun exposure to support the natural production of vitamin D in our skin as one of the best ways to get enough of this vitamin. But with decreased daylight hours in the winter, you may be at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Decreased or insufficient levels of vitamin D have been linked to:

• Suppressed immunity - Our innate systems of defense may not function efficiently without adequate vitamin D, allowing increased susceptibility to infectious agents.
• Increased risk of chronic disease - Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with a higher than normal risk of heart disease and several kinds of cancer.
• Heightened inflammation - Vitamin D is a key cofactor in regulating inflammation throughout the body.

Speak with your doctor about checking vitamin D levels and if supplementing may help, and learn more about vitamin D.

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Guided Imagery and Surgery'

Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle: 'Guided Imagery and Surgery'

Dr. Weil's Weekend Tip, January 2, 2011

The use of guided meditation has been known to be extremely effective for relaxation and in the relief of a myriad of stress-related disorders. More and more positive results have clearly demonstrated the benefits of guided meditation through countless reliable scientific studies. So much so that Western Medicine practitioners are now integrating these techniques into their own practice to prevent disease, alleviate symptoms, and also reduce the level of anesthetic required in surgery. If your personal health practitioner is not on the page quite yet, you may want to do so yourself. For more, read below.

Guided imagery is the practice of concentrating on vivid mental pictures - which may be evoked by a practitioner or by an audio recording - to promote healing. If you are considering or facing surgery, you may want to add guided imagery to your list of preparations. There is a growing body of compelling evidence for the supportive role of the mind-body connection in facilitating healing, and guided imagery, in particular, may help augment the recovery process for surgical patients by:

1. Decreasing post surgical pain and the need for pain medication

2. Reducing the side effects and complications of surgery

3. Lessening stress and anxiety before and after procedures

4. Reducing recovery time

5. Improving sleep

6. Strengthening the immune system

7. Boosting self-confidence and self-control

If you wish to try guided imagery, consult an experienced practitioner about your challenges and goals. You may also choose to create and play personalized imagery CDs or MP3s both before and after surgery.

Food & Nutrition: FDA Targets Dietary Supplements, Issues Warning to Supplement Industry and Launches New System to Notify Consumers

Food & Nutrition: 'FDA Targets Tainted Dietary Supplements, Issues a

warning to Supplement Industry and Launches New System to Notify Consumers"

By Kathleen Doheny

The vast advertising campaigns over the benefits of supplementation to make up for our inadequate modern diet has lead to the creation of a multi-billion dollar vitamin and supplement industry a lot of companies want to be a part of. Less honorable companies have taken advantage of this 'health' craze to distribute harmful substances they label as healthful supplements. The FDA is stepping up to put an end to these disloyal practices and help consumers make sense of what is beneficial for them as opposed to what isn't. For more details, read the WebMD Health News article below.

The FDA today announced new steps to target harmful products marketed as dietary supplements, including the possibility of launching criminal investigations against companies endangering public health.

''The FDA is stepping up our efforts," Joshua Sharfstein, MD, principal deputy commissioner of the FDA, said during a news conference announcing the new steps. At issue are products marketed as dietary supplements that contain hidden or deceptively labeled ingredients, such as the active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs or closely related drugs, as well as other compounds, such as synthetic steroids that don't qualify as dietary supplement ingredients.

Since December 2007, Sharfstein says, the FDA has alerted consumers to about 300 products marketed as dietary supplements that were tainted in some way. Serious adverse reports associated with the products include strokes, artery blockage in the lungs, kidney failure, acute liver injury, and death, although the FDA couldn't provide exact numbers of adverse events or deaths.

Most commonly, Sharfstein says, the tainted products marketed as dietary supplements are for weight loss, sexual enhancement, or body building.

Dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA under a different set of regulations than are foods and drugs. Dietary supplement manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe before marketing them, and the FDA is responsible for taking action against any unsafe dietary supplement on the market.

Tainted Dietary Supplements: New Targeting Efforts

The new steps taken by the FDA include:

A letter from FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg to the dietary supplement industry, stressing its legal obligation to prevent tainted products from reaching the market. Hamburg emphasizes in the letter the possibility of criminal investigations against those who endanger public health by their involvement in tainted products.

A new, rapid notification system for the public on the FDA web site to alert the public quickly to tainted products marketed as dietary supplements.

A mechanism for industry to alert the FDA about the tainted products and the firms involved.

Industry Support for New Effort

At the conference, representatives of five dietary supplement industry organizations pledged to give their support to the new effort. Among the speakers was Loren Israelsen, executive director of the United Natural Products Alliance. "We are committed to joining the FDA to find them," he said of the tainted product makers, "and drive them out of our industry and out of the U.S." Another industry representative, Anthony Young, general counsel for the American Herbal Products Association, pledged support and commented on the commissioner's letter. "It is the strongest letter I've seen in 35 years of law practice," he says.

Also appearing were representatives from the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the Natural Products Association, and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association.

Recent FDA Actions Against Tainted Dietary Supplements

Among the warnings and alerts recently issued, the FDA today warned people to stop using Man Up Now, a product marketed for sexual enhancement, as it contains a variation of a drug ingredient found in Viagra that can lower blood pressure to a dangerous level. In October, the FDA warned people not to use Slimming Beauty Bitter Orange Slimming Capsules, as they contain sibutramine, the active ingredient in a weight loss drug no longer available in the U.S. because of increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

In 2009, the FDA warned consumers against dietary supplements promoted as body-building products that contain synthetic steroids or other harmful ingredients, such as Tren Xtreme and Mass Xtreme. The products could cause serious liver injury, stroke, and other problems.

More Advice for Consumers

"We want consumers to be aware there are products masquerading as dietary supplements that can pose significant dangers," Sharfstein says.

Among the tip-offs that a product may be tainted, he said, are claims of being an alternative to FDA-approved drugs or of being legal alternatives to anabolic steroids. Products that promise fast or long-lasting sexual enhancement results are also suspect, he said, as are products marketed via mass email.

Consumers should also be wary of products that give warnings about testing positive in performance-enhancing drug tests, he says.

Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports magazine, issued a statement, applauding the FDA actions. "Tainted dietary supplements can send you to the hospital or kill you," Ellen Bloom, a spokeswoman, says in the statement. ''The FDA should be commended for prioritizing this issue and alerting consumers about dangerous supplements.

Unfortunately, the challenge is that more dangerous products keep popping up." Consumers Union is urging the FDA to go further and vigorously oversee the dietary supplements marketplace through random spot checks and testing of products in the high-risk categories, Bloom says.

Conscious Eating for Health & Happiness: '3 Ways to Practice the Slow Food Movement'

Dr. Weil's Daily Tips, January 6, 2011

Eating slowly and consciously has become a foreign concept in our fast-paced society. In order to maintain good health and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, it is highly recommended to reconnect with the practice of conscious eating. 'The Slow Food Movement' sets out to do just that. For more, read the short article from Dr. Weil below.

The Slow Food Movement - which started in Italy in the 1980s - encourages people to slow the pace of life in order to truly savor not only foods and beverages, but the pleasure of eating and the companionship of friends and family sitting around the table. Traditional foods that are fresh, made from local ingredients and served during leisurely meals are the focus of this movement. From a health perspective, this philosophy is a much-needed departure from "fast food," which is designed to

be eaten on the run. If you want to get involved in the Slow Food Movement, try the following:

1. Shop for fresh, organically grown local produce and baked goods at farmers' markets.

2. Patronize restaurants that specialize in local or regional foods.

3. Keep family traditions alive. Think about the foods your grandparents prepared for holidays or family gatherings, and try to replicate what you can.

“Ten-Year-Old Accomplished Artist Partaking in International Yoga Teacher Certification Course Taught by Fred Busch at Miami Yogashala”

In an effort to bring the benefits of Yoga to youth, Amandine Love Lerner, a 10-year-old local artist, is among the new class of students at the Yoga Alliance Teacher’s Training Certification course offered by renowned Yogi, Fred Busch.

Miami, FL (September 27, 2010) – The benefits of Yoga have been widely documented across all populations and ages, and now prominent Yogi, Fred Busch, and Miami Yogashala are hoping to bring Yoga and its benefits to local youth. Ten-year-old Amandine Love Lerner is among the first youth at the Teacher Certification Course offered by Miami Yogashala.

The Teacher Certification course, which is taught, both at Miami Yogashala’s studios in South Beach and Brickell, began on September 11, 2010 and offers two options – a ten-week course or a 30-day intensive program. Also, for the first time ever, Miami Yogashala is offering a Teacher Certification in “Hot Yoga”, making it the only studio in Florida to offer “Hot Power Yoga” Teacher Certification.

Earlier this month, Lerner partook in the International Yoga Aid Challenge, raising over $750,000 for philanthropic causes around the world, including the Africa Yoga Project.

“There is a lot of suffering in the world but I know that together we can make a difference” Lerner said about her participation in the Challenge. “I want to share the bliss I have felt through Yoga with all my brothers and sisters” she added.

Having been in Miami for over 10 years now, Miami Yogashala has helped countless adults find physical, emotional and mental well-being through Yoga. Now, Miami Yogashala hopes to bring the benefits of Yoga to local youth, especially those in the Inner City. Yoga has already proven to be extremely successful in helping kids in large urban areas such as Los Angeles, and would be a great addition to poverty and crime-stricken areas in and around Miami

Amandine is the perfect choice to be the first youth representative at Miami Yogashala’s Teacher’s Training. Despite her young age, Amandine is already used to being a trailblazer. Just over a year ago, she was the first 9-year-old to ever exhibit at the world-renowned Art Basel Exhibition, which takes place every year in Miami.

Fred Busch says, “By providing the benefits of Yoga to youth, we are investing in the future of a world which will consequently be led by inspired, balanced and highly effective individuals. Re-establishing this essential balance will in turn benefit our societies on all levels, creating a degree of health, empowerment, and wealth we could only dream of without”
