I
continue to have the privilege to work with Deb Chorney on a regular
basis, and sometimes in emergency situations, by receiving her
professional counseling services and Body Talk therapy. Deb has
helped me more than any other professional in our community over the
last 7 years. I have not only been a business owner but also a
single mother of 2 teenage boys. My professional practice of colon
hydrotherapy and running an international school both in Eugene, OR and
in Kona, HI has been rewarding and challenging to say the least.
With so much on my plate, I'm sure you can imagine my need for
support. I also occasionally suffer
from post traumatic stress. This is often referred to as
PTSD. This is a disorder that many war veterans, victims of abuse
and others are greatly challenged by. This is a real issue for
those afflicted and it is much more common than you may think.
Although it is rare for me to suffer in that way, I do get "triggered"
occasionally and I seek the expertise of Deb Chorney for support. I
encourage you to consider working with Deb whether you suffer from PTSD
or would like expert support to turn your challenges into achievements.
For further information about what Body Talk is, refer to Deb's web
site at www.bodytalksystem.com call
her at 541-914-0418 or e mail her directly at
bodytalkdeb@gmail.com. Her rates are affordable, she is
personable, and most importantly her work is effective.

Each moment is a new beginning.
All is well.
My hero mama, Barbara Alder Williams
My
mom is my hero. She outlived both husbands, quit smoking after 20
years, birthed 4 babies naturally, raised 3 & hasn't killed any of
us. She also gave up her wheel chair ride into the hospital for someone
who needed it more. My mom rocks! She is still alive and planing
to go to Hawaii with me this year. This is an older picture but
she still looks the same. If you could believe it she is almost 70
and does not dye her hair, she barely has any gray. She says that
when I first started to study holistic health and nutrition in 1995 I
told her to supplement with copper and eat a Brazil nut each day for the
selenium. I am not as awesome as her yet because I don't
even remember telling her that way back when, but I do remember learning
about those two minerals as a way to prevent gray. Both can be
toxic at high levels so it is best to not eat more than one Brazil nut
each day and have your copper levels tested in your blood occasionally
if you supplement with copper. Interesting huh?!
I love you mama even if you turn gray! You teach me to stay
positive, pick myself up when I fall, dust off and try to learn from my
mistakes so I don't make the same ones twice. You have lived
though more than most people would want to and you continue smiling and
stubbornly doing what you love to do. I admire you and strive to
be more like you in many ways. Thank you for giving me life,
holding me when I cry, reminding me that raising teenagers is temporary,
that I will get through this, and they will turn out even better than I
could wish for. You give me hope for a better future. I
cannot wait to share Kona Gold Healing Waves with you!

privilege to ride my bike all over Eugene's trails watching birds,
leaves change & drop, the people of our town out & about, &
the magic of the season. This blue heron was most generous as he

Spring
and summer was amazing for me. I enjoyed great physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual health. I got to travel to the Hawaiian
islands and explore new areas that I had never been to before. I
was invited to help a dear friend birth her baby girl naturally on the
island of Oahu. Wow, that was magical! Please read more
details and see the photos in the right column to learn of the adventure
of my lifetime!
I am personally on another healing journey. This time I am
doing so many cool healthful practices that I am sure to look and feel
better than ever before. In fact, one of my practices has helped
me to prevent what my dentist said was a 97% chance of me needing a root canal. Thank goodness for natural healing because I avoided that procedure and now his diagnosis has changed.
Awesome!!! Right???

 How I avoided a dreaded root canal with daily oil therapy, also known as oil pulling or oil swooshing...
This
is an ancient Ayurveda therapy used to release toxins, eliminate gum
bleeding,and whiten teeth. It is said to relieve and support liver
function as it takes toxins out of the blood that the liver is not able
to detoxify or remove. It is also supposed to help with numerous
disorders including blood disease, lung disorders, tooth and gum
diseases, headaches, skin diseases, gastric ulcers, intestinal problems,
poor appetite, heart and kidney ailments, encephalitis, nervous
conditions, poor memory, female disorders, swollen face, and bags under
the eyes.
Sounds like a cure all to me, so of course I am skeptical to believe all of it. In my case however, I was desperate.
I had never had tooth pain to the extent that I suffered before getting
the awful diagnosis of needing a root canal. Not having a budget
for health or dental insurance, I am always one to do diligent research
and give full effort in healing myself naturally. I got much of my
information from a book by Andreas Moritz called "Timeless Secrets of
Health and Rejuvenation".
I had heard of oil swishing with either coconut, olive, or sesame oil,
and I had done it before quite casually. I never really had any
reason to do it other than I am vain and want to look my best. The
one thing I noticed is my tenderness and gum recession had
diminished. My dentist had even told me that my gums were looking
amazing. He had never told me that before! Well, like I
said, I did it only casually and didn't stick with it. So, when I
went in for a routine check up I was pained to learn that I needed a
filling replaced. A few days following this procedure I found myself in
unbearable pain. I landed at my dentist's office at 8am sharp in
such excruciating pain that I was immediately given pain pills and
antibiotics. My dentist took x-rays and then gave me the bad news
of the 97% need for a root canal. I was horrified as I had done
tons of research in the past about the dangers and side effects of root
canals. I had always sworn that if I needed one I would get the
tooth pulled rather than subject myself to that kind of risk. In
my case this tooth was more in the front than back so I quickly
reconsidered my prior conviction. I decided to try oil therapy
daily as my new devoted practice.
How it works...
I decided to use organic cold pressed coconut oil. I like the
clean color and flavor but I read or heard somewhere that sesame oil is
the traditional Ayurveda preference. All I do is take a table
spoon of fresh oil and put it in my mouth and swish it around vigorously
for 3 to 10 minutes or until it gags me... Then I spit it out,
into the trash or outside. Note; do not spit in the sink because
that is gross! The spit oil is milky looking with a warm liquid
consistency. Different than when put into the mouth. After 3
rounds of swishing, I rinse with salt water or baking soda water.
Some people say that alone is an antiseptic that can kill or reduce
bacterial infection. Sounds worth a try right!? I think
so. In fact, I just swished the whole time I wrote this section
and am now feeling fresh and clean. It is advised to do the
swishing first thing each morning as a practice, followed by the salt or
baking soda rinse then teeth brushing. I don't do it consistently
every morning now that I am not in crisis, but I am committed to doing
it 3 times a week for life as a prevention. Try it if you are
inclined. One thing for sure is that it won't hurt. It may
seem a little weird but face it, if you are on my newsletter list then
you have probably done weirder things. Happy swishing!

I happily still have all my teeth and no root canal!

Yep,
that's me! Every time I go to Hawaii I love to find new
adventures! I also thrive on traditions such as what you see in this

Herbs for mama for after birthing from Sacred Waters Birthing Center, thank you Anita!!!
Almost
1 week after the projected due date for TeMoana (Hawaiian for "The
Ocean") to be born, Malia invited me to go to Waimea beach on the North
Shore of Oahu. Malia had swam through an under water tunnel or
canal over 10 years prior and thought that if she were to do it again
now, she could show TeMoana just how coming through the birth canal was
done. I was up for the adventure so her hubby Jr, Malia and I
pilled into their car and drove through the pinapple plantations north
to the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We saw many Amakua
(Hawaiian for "natural protectors") that even Jr was getting
excited. Mostly there were rainbows (anuene) that seemed to span
the whole horizon and then there were turtles (honu) that we could
see as we drove by the ocean to our special sacred spot. It was a
beautiful (aulelei - Samoan for beautiful) day and magic was in the
air. Jr and Malia taught me many Hawaiian, Samoan and some
Tahitian words patiently as I was quickly taking notes. When we
arrived there were wild chicken, grassy park area and white sandy beach
with a perfect walk to the big rock you see me jumping off on the top of
this page. What is most amazing is the tunnel that goes through
the middle. After Jr and did a little climbing, jumping, diving
and giving Malia a hard time because she actually considered jumping
herself, we swam and floated around the entrance to the tunnel.
When we held our breath and dove a few feet under we could see the light
opening. None of us had goggles but the water was so clear we
could see perfect and somehow the salt didn't bother us either.
First Jr went for it and swam through the tunnel. I am guessing it
was about 20 feet long but that may be an exaggeration because it
seemed so long going through against the currant. He waited on the
other side while Malia contemplated and decided it was not the right
time. She was listening to her Na'aoe (Hawaiian for "gut") and
opted to wait till the time was Divine. Jr came back around and we
decided that I was going to go first, then Malia then Jr. That
was a much smarter order since if anything were to go wrong going thru
we would be better off having the big Samoan papa following us rather
than the other way around. A local surfer boy about half my weight
it seemed, offered to go before me. He repeated how easy it was
and said "You got dis girl". I waited until I felt the time was
right and I took in a deep breath, dove down and swam with all my might
thru to the light. About half way through I found myself rising to
the ceiling of the tunnel and the current making swimming forward very
challenging. When I realized I wasn't moving far and maybe even
staying stuck in the same spot against the current and my feet were
hitting the sides and ceiling, I knew I could be in deep trouble very
quickly if I didn't swim harder or do something different. My will
to live kicked in, I did not panic and I resorted to turning over onto
my back side, gripping any part of the ceiling that I could and I
crawled upside down, totally immersed with zero air available to me till
I got to the lip of the other side opening and I grabbed it and pushed
myself with all my might then surfaced on the other side. My
immediate thought as I gasped for air was holly shit Malia that was way
harder than those boys said it was. I started praying with all my
heart and it seemed like an eternity but just minutes later Malia
emerged. The kids jumping off the rocks all cheered for us,
especially Malia. We both embraced and exchanged stories of our
journey. She had an identical story to mine. The current was
pulling the other way and she too had to resort to turning over and
climbing her way to the surface. We were adrenaline rushed and
decided that we were not doing that again. We floated around a bit
and she walked on the ocean floor carrying big rocks hoping to
encourage TeMoana to gravitate down and out.

I
was interviewed and featured in Spirituality Health magazine! You
may read my verbatim quotes online on my website or here if you can
zoom in. It is also archived up on the Spirituality and Health
website under the last September/October issue
with the "Ask a Practitioner" heading. I feel honored to be a
part of a publication that is holistic, well respected and, in this
issue, has Venus on the cover! Too cool! Thanks Ilima
Loomis!
And
if that is not enough... I was also interviewed for the cover story in
Experience Life magazine! This month's (November 2013) issue of
"Experience L!fe" magazine talks about "5 food combos to avoid".
My name is all over the article. There is some interesting
information from an Ayurveda practitioner, too, that makes the article
holistic and non biased. I think it was well done and, once again,
I am proud to be a part of this nationally distributed
publication. Thanks Experience L!fe!

This is the last photo taken of my dad and I before he passed away.
He has been an inspiration for my personal healing arts and professional practice, thanks Dad!
Jonathan Brooke Alder and Tara Lyn Alder, October 1994
December 19, 1948 ~ November 4, 1994.
To
learn more about my dad, how he passed, and how he inspired my life
forever for the better, read my former newsletters. This go around
I want to share something new about him. First of all, my
business is named after him and dedicated to him. He was named
after the original Jonathan Alder who is written about in history and in
the novel "The Captivity of Jonathan Alder". This is a true story
of how my ancestor Jonathan Alder was taken captive at around age 8 and
raised by Native Americans far away from his original home. Later
in life he reunited with his mother and, because he spoke both English
and the Native American tongue of his Sango tribe, he became a peace
keeper as he traveled to and from his tribe to his original home land.
My dad is also a direct descendent of Lorenzo DaPonte, the Italian composer for Mozart.
I know that is all cool enough, but there is more. The name
Brooke came from a great uncle somewhere in the family blood line that
must have done some cool things, too, because my dad's middle name came
from him and he always had a picture of this distinguished and well
dressed man on his mantle.
The things I remember most about my dad is that he loved people and
they loved him. He sold insurance for Farmers and even earned the
diamond I wear as an honor for his outstanding work. My dad liked to
play tennis, duplicate bridge, golf, ski, travel, talk, learn, smoke,
drink, and be silly. He was so well loved that when he passed
away, he and my mom were practically best friends even after being
divorced for years. More people showed up to his memorial than
could fit into the funeral home. That service center had never
seen so many people show up for a service in the entire history of their
funeral/memorial home! That was really cool, but one of the
hardest days of my life. I did have my grandma on one side and my
uncle Clay on the other. My brothers and I cried like never
before. The whole family worked harmoniously to help settle my
dads estate. There was no fighting over anything, just wanting to
make sure everyone was going to be okay.
One of the best things my dad ever taught me was to focus.
He said, "Choose one thing to focus on and become an expert at it."
He claimed that I could be anybody I want to be, that I could
thrive at whatever I chose. He said that I would be wise and
successful if I chose one thing at a time and really became an expert at
it. Nowadays, as I see some of my friends and colleagues struggle
financially, seemingly all over the place with their choice in work, I
remember that advice and am glad that I chose to be an expert internal
cleansing specialist. Thanks Dad! Your spirit forever lives
on in me, Clint, Chris, Ian, Pablo and Isaiah. We love you and
honor you for your gifts.
My dad wrote a credo. He made me and my brothers sign it. Words of wisdom. My dads spirit lives on!
I have adapted this credo for my practice at Alder Brooke Healing Arts. Thanks Dad!
1. Think good thoughts and say good things.
2. Read - if you read 5 books on any subject, you may become an expert.
3. Set goals - short term and long term. Put them in writing.
4. Integrity with others. To thine own self be true. Honesty and
integrity with others developes TRUST.
5. Self discipline. Keep commitments - to others and to yourself.
6. Be responsible. Your lot in life is strictly up to you. Follow
through with your commitments. Check in to ensure completion.
7. Seek out the right kind of friends and associates.
8. Learn to handle the failures and setbacks.
9. Go the 2nd mile. Do TWICE what is expected.
10. Invest in yourself. Be open to learn, have fun, and grow.
11. Forgive. Give a 2nd chance (but maybe 3 strikes and you're out).
12. Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you.
13. Allow yourself to feel emotions and allow others the same.
14. Recognize that other people are different with regard to values,
emotions, etc. This is okay.
15. Listen to others -- you may learn something. You rarely learn
anything while you're talking.
16. Mistakes will be made. But it's truly a sad mistake when nothing
is learned from your mistakes.
17. Dream the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.
18. Never give up.
Believe in Yourself!

Dr. George Raquel
During
my stay in Hawaii this summer I had the pleasure of working with Dr.
George Raquel, D.C. at his beautiful chiropractic clinic in Waipahu. Here is a gushing review that says it all:
"I
am proud to recommend Dr. Raquel. He's hip on natural methods to
release blockage that cause disease. He'll educate you on
foods, detox and non medicinal remedies. My family and I started
seeing him for colonics (colon hydrotherapy)
over a year ago. He offers patients a class ll open system table
which is the best possible Colonic Irrigation method out there.
The space is clean, private and efficient. I've also had THE
BEST massages from various practitioners in his office. This mans
standards are always kept high. I'll soon post an update on his
adjustments as a chiropracter when i get the nerve to get it done."
