As she explains, “This is an introductory class on the art and use of muscle testing for holistic diagnostics. It is a virtual must have for any existing practitioner of alternative therapies and an outstanding tool for parents to use with their children.” This two day intensive will provide attendees with the skills to use non-invasive testing tools for under- standing the bodies’ response system to various energy patterns. As a bonus, attendees will receive access to allergy and intolerance testing tools and practical applica-
tion time for skill development. For those who have completed the verbal kinesiology class or are health kine-
siology practitioners, on March 27-30 Davis will be offering EET: Environmental Energy Transformation. This four-day intensive is focused on learning the skills nec- essary to convert negative energy patterns in the home or workplace. Davis shares, “We will cover many topics, including geopathic stress, electromagnetic fields and sick building syndrome. Attendees will learn about practical tools and supplies to transform a space into a healthy support environment. This class is ideal for all practitioners, interior designers and contractors.” These classes are a great opportu- nity to enhance your current practice or start a new career.

New Michi- gan State University (MSU) research suggests that foods high in fiber—but not necessarily low in saturated fats or cholesterol—are tied to lowering the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabe- tes in teens; it’s a generation noted to be at high risk for developing chronic disease, due in part to the popularity of processed foods with this age group. The researchers found that due to low consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, the teens’ total dietary fiber intake was about 13 grams a day, well below the recommended 26 grams and 38 grams for female and male adolescents, respectively. “Our study reinforced the cur-
