"Juice Plus+ is the perfect way to ensure that we get more of the whole food based nutrition we really need."
Delia Garcia, M.D.
Home: St. Louis, Missouri
Medical Specialty: Radiation Oncology
Education: Graduated summa cum laude from Western Illinois University (1976). Graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (1979). Internship at University of Wisconsin Hospital (1979-80). Resident/Chief Resident at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (1980-83).
Fellowships and Appointments: American Cancer Society Clinical Fellowship (1981-82). Assistant Professor of Radiation Therapy and Oncology, Medical College of Virginia (1983-84). Assistant Professor of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine (1984-1992). American College of Radiology Fellowship (2001).
Other Professional Accomplishments: Author of over 40 scientific articles. Founding member of a cancer and breast institute in St. Louis (1999). She is a leading expert in breast cancer and was selected by her peers to appear in Best Doctors in America.
Community Service: Professional Advisory Board Member, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation ("Race for the Cure") and The Wellness Community of Greater St. Louis.
Health Advice: "Take responsibility for your health, and you will be astounded by the benefits. Stop smoking; eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; exercise daily; and, drink plenty of water. "Life is not a dress rehearsal! Simple measures can make a huge difference in disease prevention."
Why she recommends Juice Plus+: "Last year alone, I consulted with over 400 new patients diagnosed with cancer. The sad truth is that many of these cases might have been prevented through sound nutrition, stress reduction, and an overall healthy lifestyle. "As a busy professional and mother of three, I realize how difficult it is to eat the way we should, especially day in and day out. Juice Plus+ is the perfect way to ensure that we get more of the good, whole food based nutrition we really need."
Juice Plus+ is the simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to add more nutrition from fruits and vegetables to your diet, every day.
Tony and I have been taking Juice Plus+ daily for almost 5 years and we feel fabulous, and are more healthy. I have Fibromyalgia Syndrome (an inflammation of the nervous system that causes painful muscle spasms and chronic fatigue), and Juice Plus+ reduced my pain level by 90% and doubled my energy level. (Results may vary.)
Juice Plus+ is whole food nutrition and will not interfere with any biomedical treatment that you may be doing with your child, but will actually enhance it. Poor nutrition has been linked to ADHD in numerous studies.
If you would like more information about Juice Plus+, please email me.

I never endorse anyone or anything. Opinions expressed in what I send out, may not be shared by me. Everything is for informational purposes only.
People who "advertise" through this newsletter have never been checked out by me. This includes professionals and even people who are interested in babysitting, etc.
Please take the time to thoroughly check out anyone and everyone that will be working with or caring for your child. We are all sadly aware, through news stories and word of mouth, of people who pray upon special needs children because of their extra vulnerability.
Thank you,

Families Needed to Participate in Transition Study
|
|
Dr. Bonnie Kraemer , a professor at San Diego State University is looking for families with sons/daughters 16-24 years of age with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to participate in an interview on transition. Transition is a critical stage in the life span of young people with ASD that has received relatively little attention in the research literature. Dr. Kraemer is currently interviewing families to find out how youth with ASD have been prepared for the transition from the school system to the adult world, family involvement in that process, and how preparing for transition has affected family life. Interviews take place in the family home (or another location preferred by the family) and last about 1.5 hours.
Families are desperately needed!
For more information contact
Dr. Bonnie Kraemer
At (619) 594-3492

Childhood is a time of many changes, challenges and, at times, confusion. This is even more so for children with psychiatric disorders. In this seminar, we will overview the most common childhood psychiatric conditions. At the end of the day, we will look at real world examples of behaviors a child may exhibit in the classroom, community or home and understand the possible mental health underpinnings of these behaviors.

NCARE News
|
|
Parents and Friends of NCARE,
Thank you for your continued interest in NCARE. As we move closer to our fall semester opening, we have exciting news to offer all of the families interested enrolling in our autism research and education program.
Although we have not received our funding for the program, the funding group has committed to scholarship the first fifty families enrolling in the program less a $4000 enrollment deposit. This means that the entire first year would cost only $4000 instead of the full fee of $50,000.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this extraordinary offer and be a part of the first NCARE class or know someone who is, contact me as soon as possible at kevin.robertson@myncare.org, the office number (760-438-8600) or my cell (858-705-1778). We are excited to reach out to families with this offer, and hope it lifts a heavy burden as you decide what is best for your child educationally.
Sincerely,
Kevin Robertson
Director, Business Development
NCARE

Meet the Doctor who Developed the Juice Plus+ Concept
|

FREE Seminar
"Returning to Health"
Speaker: Humbart "Smokey" Santillo, N.D.
Developer of the Juice Plus+ Concept
Thursday, June 26, 2008, at 7:00pm
Holiday Inn - Stadium/Mission Valley
Main Ballroom
3805 Murphy Canyon Rd.
San Diego 92123 (I-15 and Aero Dr.)
As a young man overwhelmed by a variety of health problems, Dr. Santillo began to search for a new way to better health. He found the answers he was looking for in his diet - specifically in the nutritional goodness of fruits and vegetables.
Since that nutritional awakening, Dr. Santillo has spent a lifetime sharing his knowledge with others, first as a lecturer for "The Juice Man", then as the man behind a revolutionary idea: to take juicing fruits and vegetable one step further by reducing the juices to highly concentrated powdered form. Along the way he secured a degree as a Doctor of Naturopathy, earned the designation of Master Herbalist, and authored three best books.
Join me as one of North America's leading naturopaths tells us about "The Power of Fruits & Vegetables" and explains how Juice Plus+ works.
To reserve your seat, please contact Valerie Saraf by June 18th.

Steps4Kids DVD

Hi Valerie-
We have an announcement about our DVDs, thank you so much for the opportunity to share our information with other parents!
Harmony and Lucile
Help With Handwriting
It's that time of the year again when parents are making decisions about how to support their children during the summer to either avoid regression or to help them get caught up. Our Steps4Kids to Write Their ABCs DVD, which has won over 5 national awards, is a good visual priming DVD to help children learn how to write their letters. We use soothing music, simple verbal instructions and low stim visual instructions to support the child both visually and auditorily. Our DVD is currently used in both school and home settings and may help if the child is experiencing writing difficulties or just starting to write.
This June we're launching a new DVD:
Steps4Kids: "How to Write Cursive" for more advanced writers.
Our handwriting DVDs are created by me and Lucile Lynch, who is a parent of a child with disabilities. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.
Wishing you all well.
