Art Therapy for
Autoimmune Disease C
reating art offers emotional as well as physical benefits
of reaching within ourselves and developing mindful challenges that keep us engrossed while learning something new. Get- ting in touch with our creative self frees us from the nagging preoccupations that revolve around our health. By letting go, we release the negative effects of chronic stress that people with autoimmune disorders are prone to. Art therapy is an effec- tive treatment for patients with social, physical, or psychologi-
cal impairment. Although it is not precisely known how art taps into physical and intellectual memories disrupted by neurodegenerative diseases, scientists suspect that the process allows people to find alternative routes to misplaced memories.
Some of the benefits include: 1. Improves both the emotional and mental state, 2. Relieves stress and tension 3. The enjoyment of creating something enables you and your im- mune system’s cells a chance to relax 4. Facilitates healing and reduces symptoms 5. Creating images from one’s unconscious is a powerful tool in terms of healing and resolution which allows patients a way of reconnecting to their former selves 6. Drawing works to evoke memories, taking you back to another place and time, and it allows your repressed fears and feelings to surface

NUTMEG “NUGGETS” Green Tripe:
The Natural Cleanser for Dogs
reen tripe is the nutrient rich lining of the stomach of grazing animals
providing an excellent source of natu- ral digestive enzymes and probiotics. Known as “the super food,” tripe is a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins, amino and fatty acids. For dogs to receive the nutritional benefits of tripe, it should be fed in an unbleached natural state. Some benefits are:
• Whiter teeth and healthy gums
• Improved skin • Shiner coats • Healthier digestive system • Helps with allergies • Improves digestive and kidney issues • Due to the low phosphorus and high palatability, tripe is a great food for dogs suffering from renal failure
A word of warning: tripe really stinks! The good news is that
you can get all the benefits of raw tripe in a freeze dried form with- out the smell!
