Autumnal ChangesBy Martha D'Adamo |
||
It seemed like I blinked and September was gone, and October is rolling in with gusto! We are working on a new website for DPN, which will make it easier to shop, mark your favorites, and rate your products. Behind the scenes, the new website will make it easier for us to program and maintain, plus it will have special features to create more meaningful opportunities to teach our customers about our products. It's a ton of work, led by Javier Caceres, our CFO as well as our key person on almost every project we undertake. The website team is a small, concentrated group: Ann Quasarano, content development; Katie DePoto, graphic designer; Al Martinez, shipping feature quality control; and Bob Messineo, the "break man," i.e., if I can break it, it's not ready to be released. Back-end support on transferring info from the old site to the new is being done by Bill Weksner and Stephen Kurtessis. It's been amazing to witness this project take shape, and I am so impressed by the caliber of work we produce as a small, independent supplement company. Stay tuned as the month unfolds... October ushers in The Gathering, a unique student driven naturopathic conference, which is being held October 10-12 at the University of Bridgeport. The students invite naturopathic doctors who have been practicing for more than15 years to share their wisdom with them. This year, it is a stellar roster, including Peter, and we are excited to see many of our good friends. The Gathering caps the week long "Naturopathic Awareness Week" and I find it remarkable to look back over the last 30 years and see the changes - not only in the profession but in the public's awareness and embrace of the naturopathic philosophy. At the core is the Vis Medicatrix Naturae, which translated means the "healing power of nature." Hippocrates once said, "The physician treats, and Nature heals." Restoring an individual to their original nature is fundamental to the healing process. I believe that the goal of personalized nutrition and generative medicine is to cut through the external barriers, whether they are environmental or epigenetic, and to support the restoration of the individual. This is not magic, as it implies a partnership between the patient and the doctor, and the willingness to do the hard work involved. I never cease to be amazed at the tenacity and strength of the human spirit, witnessed each time I talk to one of our customers who've found their way to the Blood Type Diet and personalized their diet and lifestyles. All of us only have one life to live, and it is humbling to witness the majesty that comes from fully living and expressing our own uniqueness in the world. To quote Shakespeare, "to thine own self be true..." Here's to you! And happy fall. Martha |
Celebrate Naturopathic Medicine Week in OctoberNatural medicine. Those words mean different things to different people. For some, it's approaching their health and well-being with lifestyle choices rooted in ancient practices, for others, it's using botanicals instead of pharmaceutical drugs to manage chronic health conditions. Many utilize the healing power of food as medicine by following their Blood Type, GenoType, or SWAMI diets. We believe in the cumulative power of all these inherent self-healing processes. A year ago, the US Senate unanimously approved a resolution that established Naturopathic Medicine Week, recognizing the ability of naturopathic physicians to provide safe, effective, and affordable health care and urged Americans to learn more about this form of medicine. This year, we are celebrating Naturopathic Medicine Week from October 6-12 and urge you to explore a more natural approach to health for yourself or a loved one.

Study Finds Memory Loss More Common
|
|
When Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo wrote Aging: Fight It with the Blood Type Diet in 2005, he recommended a diet high in richly oiled cold water fish and antioxidant packed fruits and vegetables to support brain health for all people, but especially those with type AB blood. Today, a new study supported by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Studies and published in the journal Neurology, found that individuals with blood type AB were 82 percent more likely than other types to develop the thinking and memory problems that can lead to dementia. |

While more research needs to be done, individuals with blood type AB will do well eating right for their blood type! |

Grilled Salmon Fillets with
|
|
Fresh salmon needs very little preparation to bring out its savory flavor. In this recipe, the bright essence of lemon is enhanced by the sweetness of dill making this dish nearly perfect. Serve it atop your favorite greens for a quick and tasty lunch or alongside your favorite steamed veggies for a light dinner.
Combine lemon juice, zest, oil, dill and garlic in a large re-sealable bag. Add salmon and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat grill. Remove salmon from bag and place on hot grill. Brush salmon with marinade from the bag. Grill salmon for about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove when done. Salmon should be light in color and flake easily through the thickest part.
