Concerns over Drugs used in Animals

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:05:41 +0000

The company that is known for producing Viagra also dabbles in pharmaceuticals for animals. Pfizer makes a drug called 3-Nitro which is given to chicken to help them gain weight. The FDA reports that drug is being voluntarily pulled off the shelves. New studies show the drug contains arsenic, a carcinogen linked to cancer.

The move follows a recent FDA study of 100 broiler chickens that detected inorganic arsenic at higher levels in the livers of chickens treated with 3-Nitro compared with untreated chickens. FDA officials stress that the levels of inorganic arsenic detected were very low and that continuing to eat chicken as 3-Nitro is suspended from the market does not pose a health risk. The FDA has no plans of recalling any chicken product.

The FDA pointed out that organic arsenic occurs naturally in the environment and is commonly found in water, air, soil and food.

“FDA detected increased levels of inorganic arsenic in the livers of chickens treated with 3-Nitro, raising concerns of a very low but completely avoidable exposure to a carcinogen,” said Michael R. Taylor, FDA deputy commissioner for foods. “We are pleased to announce that the company is cooperating with us to protect the public health.”

The company will continue to sell the product for 30 days so farmers can find an alternative, and the company plans to help the FDA look into the problem. The drug, which has been used since the 1940s, is predominately found in broiler chickens and in some turkeys.

“Until recently, scientific evidence indicated that animals exposed to organic arsenic rapidly excrete the compound in its original form — as organic arsenic. FDA approved the product at doses and withdrawal times that, based on this available information, allowed for the safe and effective use of the product when used according to the label directions,” the agency said.

Stan Woodman and Gina Norman, founders and co-directors of Kaia Yoga, the largest and fastest-growing whole living centers in Connecticut, join the show.

Organic living is more than a business to Stan Woodman and his wife Gina Norman, it’s their lifestyle and mission. As founders and co-directors of Kaia Yoga, the largest and fastest-growing whole living centers in Connecticut, Stan and Gina recognize the need for a central community space that provides healthy options for their suburban Connecticut neighbors with a convenient, urban, “just down the block” feel.

Stan Woodman, an avid snowboarder and skateboarder, took his first yoga class in 1991 and began a dedicated daily Ashtanga Yoga practice in 1997. Stan’s educational background includes intensive studies with special needs children, and extensive instruction in Eastern and Western Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, Myology, Neurology, and Therapeutic Massage. His yoga education, training and practice has taken him all over the world, from Colorado and Vermont, to Puerto Rico, Sweden, Costa Rica and India. Stan’s daily love for ashtanga yoga has continued to inspire his teaching and way of life. He has completed a 1000 Hour Yoga Teachers Certification course with Beryl Bender Birch and had the unique opportunity to work, study and assist her on national and international retreats, workshops and yoga teacher trainings for over 4 years. With his passion in yoga philosophy and yoga therapy, Stan continued his training in ashtanga, studying with several of the top ashtanga teachers including David Swenson, Tim Miller, David Williams, Eddie Stern and travels to Mysore, India to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangaswamy, and Saraswathi Rangaswamy. Stan is on faculty with the Kripalu Institute and will also instruct for the Wanderlust Festival this summer.

Gina Norman has always had a fascination with mind-body work and its essential connection to overall health and happiness. She studied Thai massage in Thailand, Vipassana meditation in India, Buddhist studies in the Shambhala tradition, and Cranial Sacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute. Gina holds teacher training certificates from Beyoga (currently YogaWorks) and Om Yoga Center in New York City, where she was part of their teacher training staff.

Gina is trained in yoga therapy and works independently with Connecticut pain management doctors. She has lectured at Greenwich Hospital and other local organizations. Gina has been a featured yoga expert forNatural Health magazine since 2004.

Stan and Gina recognize that everyone who arrives to practice yoga is looking for something, whether it’s stress relief, pain reduction, a desire to re-discover inner happiness, or simply to improve their backhand or golf swing. During these hard economic times it is amazing to see how phenomenally well the Kaia Yoga Centers are doing. In three years, Stan and Gina have seen their business triple and have expanded to three locations: Greenwich, Greenwich East, and the newest and largest 9,000 sq. ft. Westport Center, opening in January 2010. With high stress levels and overall uncertainty, people will continue to look to the Kaia Yoga Centers and their full complement of services to relax, find center and balance, and learn better ways to be with their families and live within their community.

Stan Woodman and Gina Norman discuss & answer the following:

What are the health benefits of yoga?
Do you have to be flexible to practice yoga?
How do you know what type of yoga is right for you?

The Physical Benefits of Participating in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Jared Nathanson

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 23:08:48 +0000

To Listen To Our Podcast Please Click Here:

Jared Nathanson, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion and Professional Competitor joins the show.

Jared Nathanson is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under his father Todd Nathanson from Chatsworth California. One of the greatest “undiscovered” talents still in America, Jared’s career was first internationally recognized after placing 3rd in the World in 2009 in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu “Mundials” (“World” Championship). Nathanson was born on the 12th of October, 1983 in Tarzana California. He started practicing Jiu Jitsu with Renato Magno, later to become the acclaimed general type character and front man of the team “Street Sport”. Shortly after he received his orange belt (the second rank in Jiu-Jitsu in 1995 Jared’s coach traded headquarters leaving him to world renowned champion and competitor Jean Jacques Machado. He would later train with Machado who would become his instructor for the next 13 years leading him to his brown belt (one belt prior to black). One of the most infamous traits regarding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the time and effort it takes to become a black belt. Belt testing is not available as all training is battle tested against other competitors. This system was designed so the practitioner may become a true expert in the art. Statistically, it takes approximately 10 years on average for a person to master a subject. This is taken into accountability within the Jiu-Jitsu system. It is not uncommon to receive a black belt after 15 plus years of training in some, if not most cases.

Soon Jared began searching for another way to sharpen his skills. In 2009 he became a student of 2 famous Americans stomping their mark into Jiu-Jitsu as the most dangerous and consistently competitive Americans to date: Bill “The Grill” Cooper and Jeff Glover. Then in 2010 Nathanson found his final home with the Checkmat team, headed by multi-level champion and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu superstar Lucas Leite. During his search for the right team, he returned to the competitive arena to find success in every major event, capturing gold medals across every federation’s events. He began focusing his efforts on creating his own champions out of his father’s gym located in Chatsworth California, which would soon take on the name “Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu”.

Spending a focused competitive year in 2009 after placing in the top 3 in world, he would later suffer repeated injuries on his knee from training accidents. He underwent surgery and had to endure a long recovery period. Though the immediate future looked grim for Nathanson’s competitive career, on his very first tournament since his recovery, he managed to win one of the most important trophies in his career, the Copa Pacifica 2010. Although still not fully recovered, he was forced to compete cautiously and methodically in order to claim the victory; a testament to his skills, training partners, and team.

Jared Nathanson discusses & answers the following:

What are the physical benefits of participating in such an activity?
Why are the participants in this sport SO lean and SO muscular?
What does a typical day of training for the beginner vs. the seasoned veteran consist of?
So tell us a little about your online training program and why it was the most anticipated program of its genre before its release?
How did you guys become the number 1 top ranked program?

At a time when men and women are more confused, hurt, lonely and desperate for love than ever, yet hooked on heartbreak, Dr. Carole unlocks the door to healthier relationships. She reveals how women can turn their frogs into princes, and how men can crawl out of the dating swamp to find love.

Since 9/11, recognizing that what the world needs most is help coping with the ultimate monster in the closet: terrorism, Dr. Carole Lieberman has devoted herself to rousing people from denial and giving them the psychological tools they need to survive. Her book, Coping with Terrorism: Dreams Interrupted, has been released in London by European Atlantic Publications.
