1st Annual The Invitation
A Womens Empowering Conference
Empowering yourself means to unleash
your true self with no holds bar. What
does that look like? It is a woman
who takes time to listen to her
inner self and makes her
decisions from this vantage
point. Understanding that your
emotions are always valid. You
no longer play the victim in any
area in your l ife. Empowering
ones self means any judgment
towards others or yourself is null and
void. I t resembles a strong, loving, and
compassionate woman; who walks down the street with her head
held high and she sends endearing love to everyone she
encounters.
For one day this Fall; on September 27th, The Invitation Womens
Conference is gathering together to learn how to step into who you
really are: A Powerful Creator! This day includes an opening
ceremony, specialty vendors, organic food (lunch is included),
snacks, a drumming circle, multiple new friendships, new tools,
and the most inspiring speakers in the World! You will experience
a day that allows you to pamper your heart, mind and soul. And
you will leave with the most innovated tools on the planet to
embrace the Powerful Creator within yourself!
In the days of change on the planet, the role of women is critical
and necessary. We can no longer live small, no longer allow our
feelings and needs to come second. Instead, we must learn how to
blend our feminine and masculine energies together. Learning
and embracing a completely new level of being a woman will
be the focus on this magical day!
Now is the time to pull out your calendar, make a date with yourself
to embrace, and celebrate YOU! Celebrate the elegance and grace
of being a women. We are waiting for you!

Women Cycle!Thats why its called the Menstrual Cycle!
The unique physiology of your female hormones - where estro-
gen and progesterone rise and fall throughout the monthly cycle
- is rarely addressed in conventional hormone evaluation. Your
female hormones change throughout the month!
Routine testing of your hormones is usually a one sample test of
estrogen and progesterone. This reveals your hormone level on
that day of your cycle. You may be tested on day 15 or day 5 or day
20. The tests may be normal for that day and you will be told the
blood tests are normal even if you clearly have symptoms. Per-
haps your symptoms are PMS, heavy bleeding, migraines, en-
dometriosis or maybe you cannot get pregnant. None of these are
normal. It is not normal to have menstrual symptoms. It may be
usual meaning many, if not most, women have them BUT it is not
normal.
Natural fertility evaluations, which are comprehensive, test hor-
mones throughout the cycle - every 2 days. Comprehensive test-
ing uncovers common female hormone imbalances that are the
cause of your menstrual symptoms. Once you know what is hap-
pening at each stage of your menstrual cycle, you can see the prob-
lem areas and then work to correct them.
Comprehensive fertility testing shows when you are ovulating. If
you are ovulating on day 17 or later, its not likely you will get preg-
nant. Natural fertility evaluations
reveal if your estrogen is signifi-
cantly higher than it should be in re-
lationship to progesterone. If so, you
are more likely to have a miscarriage.
If you have been on birth control, it is
likely that you will have a more diffi-
cult time conceiving because your
body has been told not to ovulate. It
takes time and sometimes assis-
tance to re-establish the communi-
cation between the brain and the
ovaries for ovulation to occur. Natural comprehensive fertility test-
ing will show this and then it can be addressed.
Having trouble free menstrual cycles, conceiving without com-
plications, having positive birthing experiences and healthy ba-
bies is what natural fertility is all about! See Display Ad on page 15.
The Silent DiseaseGum disease is one of the most common oral diseases in the world.
It is a disease caused by the infection of the gum tissues by bacteria
and other pathogens. Even in this country with the ready access to
dental care and oral hygiene products, gum disease affects a
majority of the population. The reason for this situation is that in
the beginning stages there may be no noticeable symptoms.
However, periodontal disease, the medical term for gum disease,
left unchecked and untreated can lead to pain, impaired oral
function and possible problems in other parts of the body. A brief
discussion of this common disease and the current treatment
options may help you to reduce your risk.
There are different stages of periodontal disease. In the early stages
the condition may not produce any discomfort. However, there
will be inflammation of the gums as your immune system battles
the bacteria that has invaded your gum pockets. You may have
bleeding on flossing and brushing. At this stage the term gingivitis
is used to identify the condition. The good news at this point is that
the damage to the gums is totally reversible. Usually with improved
oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist, gingivitis can be
eliminated as quickly as a few months.
Unfortunately, many people who have gum disease have the more
severe condition in which the bone supporting the teeth is
damaged. At this stage the disease is referred to as periodontal
disease. With this condition there will be significant increase in
the depth of the gum pockets as the bone surrounding the roots of
the teeth begin to erode away due to the presence of bacteria and
the bodys own inflammatory process that attempts to deal with
the infection. If this situation goes untreated, there may be
increased bleeding, loosening of teeth, and foul odor. Eventually
if the bone loss is extensive enough, the teeth may literally fall out.
Moreover, as periodontal disease becomes more entrenched, there
is the real likelihood that the bacteria from the gum pockets can
enter the blood stream and thereby spread inflammation and
infection to other parts of the body.
Now the real good news! With current
treatments l ike scaling(removing
and cleaning bacteria and debris off
the roots of teeth) and antibiotics,
most cases of periodontal disease can
be treated. Alternative techniques
like oil pulling have also been helpful
for some patients. Laser treatments for
some cases have even regenerated
lost bone support. As with any
disease, prevention is the best
approach. The next best option is to
address the situation as earl iest

possible to minimize the damage and also to reduce the level of
intervention needed to treat the disease. See Display Ad page 21.
Trees Talking TruthDogs may be known as humans best friends but trees have also
been there to support us with food, shelter, oxygen and even
WISDOM! When I was first awakening to my path I received a
telepathic message from an oak tree in a grocery store parking lot.
This message shook my old paradigm beliefs and forever changed
my life. The mighty oak pointed out that it got its life source from
both its roots and its leaves, that it was plugged in like a battery to
the heavens (+) father and the earth (-) mother. This was a wise
lesson for the tree to start with for me, as I had always been taught
it was only the heavenly father. There was never any mention of
our earthly mother.
Later I would discover that down to the atom, everything around
us, is energy, and that it is a bringing together of the mother (-)
and father (+). The Atom itself is made up of protons (+) and
Electrons (-) It takes both of these coming together to create
ANYTHING. How much energy would a battery run if it only had
a (+) side? None. As we look under a microscope at the basics
foundations of life, there is no more denying of the mother.
This tree gifted me a powerful understanding I will never forget,
inspiring me to create over 70 inventions that are 11 time visionary
awarded. These scientifically magical tools from nature help raise
vibrations and bring the unbalanced synthetics in our modern
lives back into their natural life creation balance.
One of my favorite of these inventions came from studying the trees
and realizing that just like the tree is a battery with the (+)
connection at the top and the (-) grounding at its roots that we
humans are also in this design. Our feet are our roots, with over
50,000 receptors. Think of them as our plug ins like an appliance
plugs into a wall socket. The earth is OUR energy source that we
are designed to have our bare feet plugged in by direct contact.
A HUGE modern challange is that we are wearing rubber soled
shoes that do not conduct energy and leave us literally unplugged
and disconnected. Imagine a tree with its roots disconnected from
the earth, it would wither up. Tests also show when we are barefoot
on the earth our chakas align and our crown chakra opens like a
funnel pull ing in bril l iant universal energy and knowledge.
Knowing we can not always be barefoot I was inspired to create
Divine Soles earth energy shoe inserts that are made of gemstones,
f lower essense, essential plant oils , black Tourmeline and
amplifying liquid crystal. The soles have natural batteries of tiny
quartz spheres that work in the same manor as the earth (Piezo
Energy) feeding these natural energies up to our bodies and gently
pulling non beneficial energy out. Kiril ian photography and
German bio resonance testing also showed just like the earth, the
Divine Sole Earth squishy inserts also balanced the chakras,
balanced meridians, protected the psyche, nurtured the organs
and so much more.

Circle of Miracles ChurchCircle Retreat
Do you ever feel your spirit
sinking in the minutia of day-
to day living? Do you long for

Are You Addicted To Food?Do You Have Uncontrollable Cravings For Snacks
and Sabotage Even Your Best Dieting Efforts?
If you are like the majority of
people who suffer from Yo-Yo
dieting, nervous weight gain,
emotional eating and failed
attempts to stay on track with a
healthy diet and lifestyle there
is an excellent chance that you
will respond with amazing
results to our unique program.
By this point in your life you
probably have tried ten or more
different types of diets. From low
Creating Community Magazine 215.345.6525 www.CreatingCommunity.com40
carb to no carb, grapefruits to cabbage soup. Diet pills, diet clubs
and diet books on tape. If you start out on all these programs with
the best intentions but end up succumbing to cravings or
withdrawal symptoms then we can help you back on track. And
more importantly stay on track. The best part is we do it all
naturally, no harmful drugs, no herbal speed, and no risky surgery!
A revolutionary procedure is helping hundreds of people conquer
their cravings, defeat emotional eating and lose weight by replacing
that diet with a new healthy lifestyle gently without side effects. The
main component of our program is called Auriculotherapy. The two
most recognized uses for Auriculotherapy by the World Health
Organization are for pain and addictive behaviors. Auriculotherapy
and our unique program are essential for any type of addictive
behavior getting excellent results not only with food but also, cigarettes,
drugs and alcohol. As well as anxiety, compulsive disorders and ADD.
By combining Auriculotherapy, Amino Acids and Aromatherapy we
help relieve your cravings, disrupt your false hunger patterns and help
you feel full. Also available are workshops and group sessions with
the doctor to help end negative behaviors. Some of the benefits of this
fantastic treatment are that it is all natural, it is well researched and
FDA approved, it upgrades any program or diet you are currently using
including Weight Watchers, treatments are affordable and may be
covered by your insurance.
Auriculotherapy helps in the brains struggle to feel good. The brain
manufactures chemicals (endorphins etc.) to help us feel a sense of
well-being. When you participate in addictive behaviors like binge
eating or snacking, the chemicals in processed foods bind to little
receptors in your brain pushing your natural chemicals aside and
flooding their receptor sites. Many times these chemicals are added
by food scientists to manipulate your brain chemistry. At first you dont
mind this feeling, in fact you love it! In time you begin to notice the
effects such as weight gain, fatigue, cravings and the monetary cost of
junk food, health issues and bigger clothes. When you stop this eating
behavior you not only stop the rush of artificial chemicals but your
body does not know it is supposed to start making your naturally
occurring chemicals again. This leads to anxiety, cravings and
depressive behaviors. As well as more eating. Auriculotherapy will
safely stimulate four cranial nerves in your brain to deliver the needed
chemicals to feel a sense of well-being and satisfaction. Call now to
schedule a free consultation and find out if this proven cutting edge
treatment is right for you. 215-860-7275. By Dr. Gary T. Scardino.

Calm, Cool
KidsAttention Deficit Disorder (with our
without hyperactivity) is common in
both children and adults, and the
numbers continue to rise. At least one

risk takers. In fact, many CEOs of companies are thought to have
ADHD due to the abil ity to think outside the box and take
unprecedented actions. But when these actions occur within the
confines of a classroom, they are not conducive to success.
One of the causes of ADHD is changed functioning of the brain.
The brain is mostly composed of fats, and it must be supplied with
the right mixture of fats in order to perform normally. DHA and EPA
are fats derived from cold-water fishes and free ranging animal
products. These fats are not found in the standard American diet.
DHA actually protects the nerves from death and helps plasticity,
which is the ability of the brain to learn new things. Supplementing
a healthy diet with EPA, and especially DHA, is important for the
developing nervous system of babies and children.
Homeopathic medicines are also commonly used by children with
ADHD. Made from small amounts of diluted natural substances,
they have no interactions with medications or supplements, and
no side effects. Instead of producing constant stimulation to the
brain, homeopathy gently supports nervous system balance. In
fact, the British Journal of Homeopathy reported that of 115
children, 75% improved by 73% over an average timeframe of
3.5 months. Full resolution of symptoms may take much longer.
There are many remedies that children with ADHD may take. All of
the following remedies may be used in children with
inattentiveness and other ADHD symptoms, but youll notice that
the presentation of each child is very different.
Calcarea carbonica: This mineral, when given in homeopathic
doses, is one of the most common remedies. Children who benefit
from this remedy may tolerate milk products poorly, having
frequent ear infections as younger children, and sinus infections
as older children. They may perspire on their heads when sleeping.
They may have blue circles under their eyes and crave sweets,
eggs, and bacon and other smoked meats. These children may be
large for their age.
Cina: Children who respond to this remedy are irritable and dont
like to be touched. They may suffer from intestinal parasites and
have a tendency to bore their finger in their nose.
Carcinosin: These children strive to do everything correctly and
please their parents, but in doing so may become so anxious that
they cant get much accomplished. These children may be
creative and like music or dance.
A local financial planner remarks about her childs progress:
After over 5 years on medication for anxiety and ADHD, my 13
year old son is seeing a marked improvement in his attention at
school. His medical doctor agreed to start reducing the level of
medication he was taking. His grades have improved in just 4
weeks time.
The correctly prescribed homeopathic remedy can make a big
difference in a childs l ife. Julie Lachman, ND is a l icensed

Shifting MoodThrough Increased Resilience
I dont know whats wrong with meI just cant seem to feel happy
these days. As therapists and helpers, we have heard this com-
ment or some variation of it hundreds of times in the past year. The
person making the statement may be deeply depressed. Just as
likely, however, it is someone who feels that anxiety, stress, a major
life change, or feeling blah keep him or her from experiencing
life fully. Regardless, what people expressing this sentiment fre-
quently have in common is a sense that it is difficult, if not impos-
sible, to change the tide of these thoughts and emotions. Feelings
of futility can actually fuel the low mood, resulting in a downward
spiral.
Merriam-Webster defines resilience as the ability to become
strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens
and an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or
change. Research has shown that there are certain factors that
increase the probably that a person who has had a down period
(for whatever reason) will bounce back. Some of these factors
include having strong and supportive relationships with others,
possessing a positive self view, and being willing and able to seek
help to manage problems. Contrary to views held in the past, we
now know that resilience is something that can be learned and
developed over the life span and is not necessarily something that
is inborn or learned in childhood.
The ways in which people increase their resilience (and thus im-
prove mood overall) vary immensely. Some people experience
growth through individual work focused on improving ones view
of self. Others make changes by interacting in a group or by focus-
ing on strengthening their resilience as a couple or as a family. Still
others find that a focus on body and breath provides the ground-
work for transformation. The most important thing to note is that
everyone is capable of experiencing positive change.
The Resiliency Center has a mission to assist people on this jour-
ney. We provide many pathways, including cognitive therapy, Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Rubenfeld
Synergy Work, Art Therapy, mindfulness training, meditation, and
Qi Gong. We also offer several groups (teen therapy group, new
moms group, etc.), as well as laughter yoga. Laughter is a powerful
tool for resiliency, and laughter yoga helps us learn to laugh for no
reason at all . Learn more at www.theresil iencycenter.com.

Integratvie Health Care For Your Pet
An integrative approach to
health care has been
around in human medicine
for quite some time. Many
folks, besides seeing their
doctors for yearly
checkups or more
frequently for medical
problems, will also seek out
the care of chiropractors,
a c u p u n c t u r i s t s ,
homeopaths, etc. There are
many physical and emotional conditions that can be treated
perhaps more safely and effectively with these other modalities.
Integrative medical therapies have now found their way into
veterinary medicine.
Many veterinarians are trained in acupuncture, homeopathy, cold
laser therapy, and chiropractic. There are schools for acupuncture,
homeopathy, and chiropractic that will certify the skill level of the
veterinarian. An integrative approach for the wellbeing of our pets
helps us to offer treatments that may be less invasive or toxic and
equally beneficial to a particular condition.
For example, many pets will suffer from degenerative arthritis as
they age. Clients typically notice that the pet gets up more slowly
or has difficulty climbing the stairs. Standard initial treatments
include starting a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement. As the
condition worsens a non steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) to
reduce inflammation and subsequent pain may be added. NSAIDS
are strong drugs. The common aspirin is an NSAID. Dogs, like
humans, can develop bleeding stomach ulcers or liver or kidney
problems. There is only one NSAID that is approved for use in cats,
and can only be administered for 3 days. NSAIDS are very effective
in relieving arthrit ic pain and inflammation, however,
acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy and cold laser therapy
can be equally effective. These modalities can be used to reduce
the amount of drug that the pet is taking or eliminate it entirely. It is
always a delight to see a pet smile after an acupuncture or
chiropractic treatment.
Another common problem that can be treated effectively with an
integrative approach are skin allergies. Tis the season for
scratching, licking and biting. Most skin and ear (which are really
an extension of the skin) problems are brought on by allergens.
Allergens can be environmental, that which your pet is exposed to
in the environment, and/or food related. Standard treatments
include antihistamines and steroids, such as prednisone, to
eliminate the symptoms. Homeopathy and acupuncture can be
equally as effective and cure the pet of his allergic symptoms for
life. Also, changing the diet to what is called home-prepared,
either cooked or raw, can be life altering. Food that comes from a
bag or can is highly processed. This means that the food itself is
cooked to a degree that may alter the true value of that food. There
are also additives in processed foods that can cause allergic

Philip Glaser, the owner of Journeys, shared a few words with us
about the process that created this space. Over the last few years,
weve been actively searching for more Fair Trade products to offer
our customers. Fair Trade are products which are made all over
the world, in which the employees and farmers are paid a fair living
wage. At Journeys you can find hundreds of items, including
jewelry, candles, and accessories, which are certif ied Fair
Trade.
The crystal and gemstone collection has grown dramatically over
the last few years, with over 100 types from small pocket stones
to large cathedral stones. We recently travelled across the
country on a buying trip where we purchased over a half ton of
amazing new gemstones and crystals, many of which wed never
been able to have in stock before. We're still getting shipments
every week with these new finds.
Native American-made dreamcatchers spread across twenty feet

Neurofeedback:Alternative to Antidepressants?
In March, Forbes magazine featured an article by Robert Szczerba,
Brain Training And The End Of The Prozac Generation (3/4/
2014). This article highlighted brain wave training, a type of
neurofeedback, as a treatment modality to regulate the brain. Even
though it is not widely known, neurofeedback is a type of
biofeedback. It has been researched for decades and it involves
an effective non-invasive approach that focuses on balancing
neural networks. This is done in order to improve cognitive and
mental functioning. According to the Forbes article, interest in
neurofeedback is growing in the treatment of depression partly
because research in the drug treatment for depression has been
falling off. Reportedly, this is due to the lack of medication efficacy
and the undesirable side effects.
Various types of brain wave training or neurofeedback are gaining
recognition as a safe and effective alternative for treating the
symptoms of depression, without the undesirable side effects.
Neurofeedback uses a system of rewards where positive brain
waves are reinforced and desirable changes occur. Once the brain
learns to produce more of the new positive and desirable brain
waves, it easily continues the pattern on its own.
Neurofeedback began when the secrets of the brain were revealed
serendipitously. Early in the jet age with jet pilot training, a form of
neurofeedback was used to prevent seizures from pilots inhaling
jet fumes. The technology produced a well spring of research
aimed at remediating a wide assortment of challenging behavioral
and emotional problems.
Early research has linked neurofeedback with the successful
treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD-HD) as
an alternative to stimulant medication without undesirable side
effects. Recent research with neurofeedback for treating
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) is proving very effective, contributing greatly to an
understanding of the neural networks affecting human behavior.
This research has given new momentum to the application of
neurofeedback in relieving symptoms of depression, mood
disorders and anxiety.
At the Achievement & Wellness Center, we successfully treat
depression and mood disorders
with neurofeedback, whereby
people change to happier and
more successful lives. Frequently,
medication is reduced or
eliminated. We use a diagnostic
tool, the quantitative
electroencephalogram (qEEG), to
identify the specif ic type of
depression, which is useful in
setting up the most beneficial and
effective individualized
treatment plan.

facilities and veterans hospitals across the country, supporting
the terminally ill and their family members through professional
education, community outreach and advocacy.
