Dr. Sears’ Simple Plan for Healthy Aging
Following his own brush with mortality, “America’s Pediatrician” turned his attention to adult health, and produced a perfect guide to aging in excellent, energetic health
by Craig Weatherby

William Sears, M.D., is a humane, holistic pediatrician, in practice for more than 30 years. 
 
His wife, Martha Sears, R.N., is a registered nurse, childbirth educator, parenting and health consultant ... and mother to their eight children! 
 
Together, they’ve authored more than 30 bestsellers about baby and child care ... and Bill Sears wears his informal title, “America’s Pediatrician”, very lightly. 
 
Now Dr. Sears, again aided by Martha Sears, presents a superior anti-aging program in his Prime-Time Health: A Scientifically Proven Plan for Feeling Young and Living Longer
 
The seed for this acclaimed book was planted 12 years ago, when Bill Sears was diagnosed with cancer. Like many people, he wanted to take control of his health. 
 
But unlike most, he had the knowledge and research expertise to create a comprehensive, science based program for ...

Sablefish with Shallot Vinaigrette and Herb Salad
We want to acknowledge reader J.T. Smith, who sent us this week’s sablefish recipe, which hails from Bon Appétit magazine. We’re presenting it in a slightly modified version.
 
As J.T. told us, “I received my sablefish and berries today, and cooked the sablefish this evening. As I did not have miso and other ingredients in the kitchen I used an Epicurious recipe which was simply outstanding!”

Pets and Omega-3s: Experts and New Book Shed Light on Overlooked Topic
The recommendations in a new book find support from a consortium of omega-3 experts
by Craig Weatherby

We just discovered a great new book about the role of omega-3s in canine health.
 
Canine nutrition expert Steve Brown presents what must be the most exhaustively researched resource on the diets dogs have eaten over many millennia.
 
And in Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet: Healthier Dog Food the ABC Way, he’s used that research to show how people can enhance their pets’ health by approximating the ancient canine diet as closely as possible.
 
He finds evidence that most dogs ate diets that were high in protein, with balanced fats – including omega-3s, sometimes in large amounts (as with salmon-loving wolves) and usually included a few fruits, vegetables and grasses.
 
Here’s what holistic veterinarian Doug Knueven, DVM said about Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet:
“I find this book to be enlightening and invaluable. I especially like the fact that his guidelines can help balance canine diets no matter what the caregiver's level of commitment is to the ancestral diet. Dry food feeders can greatly enhance their pet's nutrition with just one homemade meal a week.”
 
Brown presents a compelling analysis of dogs' nutritional needs, and provides practical ways to meet them in his "ABC" diet plan, which owners only need to provide one day per week.
 
Here's what Brown means by an "ABC" diet:
  • Add high-quality protein with hearts, eggs, and sardines
  • Balance the fats with sardines
  • Complete the nutrition with hearts, eggs, sardines, and vegetables.
He also custom-tailors to each animal's weight and to an owners' preferences for various kinds of ...
 

Pain May be Relieved by Omega-3 Byproducts
Study in mice suggests that omega-3s from fish could ease pain … and form the basis of a safer new class of potent analgesic drugs
by Craig Weatherby

Click for full story and printer friendly version
Non-prescription analgesic drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen make life more bearable for millions of people suffering from all sorts of pain.
 
But these so-called “non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs” – NSAIDs for short – come with serious side effects that kill or injure thousands of Americans every year.
 
Estimates of the annual deaths in the United States attributable to NSAIDs vary from 3,200 to higher than 16,500 (Cryer B 2005; Lanas A et al. 2005).
 
And among elderly Americans alone, there are an estimated 41,000 hospitalizations related to ...

Cooking Fish Over Fire: Our Guide to Great Grilling
Prep and grilling tips; The pros and cons of fuel sources; Safety considerations, including good news about herbs
by Craig Weatherby

Fire brings out the best in fish, and to facilitate your fish-over-fire adventures, we offer some basic tips. It's easy to grill fish to perfection, as long as you don’t get distracted, and forget to take it off the fire!
 
General guidance
  • Fish with an abundance of natural oils—like King or Silver Salmon, Sablefish, and Mackerel—are least likely to stick. To retain the moisture in leaner wild fish and seafood such as our Sockeye, Scallops, Halibut, and Albacore Tuna, brush it lightly with with Olive or Macadamia Nut oil before cooking.
