Today's show is about health, beauty, anti-aging & the importance of hydration.  But how?  Hylauronic acid of course.  Well, not just that, but H.A. in perfect ratio with other essential nutrients so that the body can recognize it and ABSORB it.  This ratio is the little-known secret, revealed at length in today's show.

Mitchell will be joined by health coach Tony Pajunen and his beautiful, scientist mother, Grazyna Pajunen, Ph.D., who have been researching this for the past several years, a specific product that mimics the body’s own specific ratio of hylauronic acid, collagen and condroiton sulfate, allowing it to absorb them for maximum benefit.

Both mother and son are deeply involved in educating people about the use of a particular formulawhich is being used for significantly improving health, anti-aging, improving joint function, hydration and skin-care in a unique, biologically precise way.  It is helping people who are turn back the biological clock.

Another way to make donations to A Better World Foundation is by purchasing any of these products for yourself or loved ones and a portion of the proceeds benefits ABWF.  So you can get healthier, more limber, turn back the clock and become more beautiful or handsome while at the same time giving benefit to A Better World.  To learn more or order, go to:  www.shopliquidbiocell.com/268018

Today, the topic is the structure of the body, that which keeps us standing, moving and at one time crawling–bones, muscles, fascia, the nervous system which enervates them and the energy system of chi behind that which animates them. This physical structure is the basis of our personal expression and its health and integrity a vital part of enjoyable living, artistic expression, work and play.  

To discuss this today is Structural Energetic Therapy practitioner, Peter C. Lowden, LMT, currently practicing in the Tampa area of Florida.  I had the pleasure of meeting Peter and be worked on by him recently in Asheville, NC where we were both on retreat, studying ancient Taoist energy techniques.  Peter has been practicing Structural Integration, which helps to free up the limbs and joints through manipulation of fascia (similar but distinct from Rolfing) so that the client experiences much greater range and ease of motion. What might have been years of habituated, limited motion begin to melt as the ability to move opens up, a very real form of liberation.  

In Peter’s own words:  I have been an LMT in the Tampa Bay area of Fl for 20+ years, with a specialized focus in Structural myofascial Bodywork including numerous Cranial techniques. As with most massage bodyworkers my continued studies are for personal and professional growth. Striving for outer and inner self balance, strength to become a greater reflective example for those that share my space of wellness.

So tune in today to learn more about this body art, based on anatomy and the powerful use of intent, mind, energy and touch.  Peter can be reached at 727 804-0040.

What innovative ways can heal such often seeming entrenched illnesses as Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, autism, ADD/ADHD or Lyme disease?  Today’s show addresses these issues from the point of view of functional medicine and neurology through which new breakthroughs in understanding the role of the brain in health and disease has helped to uncover.

To explore this, Mitchell speaks with Dr. Eric Kaplan, one of the very few Board Certified functional neurologists in NYC. He is a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, with over 1,500 hours of post graduate studies at The Carrick Institute, including specialty courses such as Movement Disorders, Vestibular Rehabilitation and Childhood Developmental Delays.

His latest accomplishment is completing two Fellowships via the American College of Functional Neurology and now is Board Certified Functional Neurologist and a Fellow of the American Board of Vestibular Rehabiliation. Being trained in dozens of chiropractic and neurology techniques, he has the ability to treat many different types of patients.

Dr. Kaplan is also the founder and sole proprietor of Village Chiropractic and Functional Neurology Center, a full service chiropractic neurology and wellness center located in the heart of the West Village in New York City. Serving patients for many years, Dr. Kaplan is committed not only to his patient’s health, but to the overall quality of their life. Village Chiropractic’s philosophy integrates the physical wellness side of life with the human side of life. Ask any Village Chiropractic patient and they will tell you Dr. Kaplan is a warm, passionate, and inspirational teacher of love, health, and happiness.

Mitchell met with and was tested by Dr. Kaplan recently and found that his work may be useful for his own clients and audience as part of a holistic approach.

Wednesday, June 22, 6pm edt:  We have conversations all the time.  Some of them are happy, some practical, some lofty.  Others are critical and others are sort of ‘filling space and time’.  But there are kinds of conversations that are consciously creative and recognize language as a tool for incredible possibility.  This is what Mitchell Rabin will be speaking about in today’s show–how to conduct conversations and the ideas behind them to create a kind of world we want, abundant with peace, cooperation, kindness, respecting differences and well-being for all from the level of family to the family of nations.  As a species, we have war and violence as a means to (attempt to) resolve conflict and we have linguistic communication in the form of diplomacy to resolve conflict.  

The history of our species shows that we have used war and violence frequently to settle disputes between people, neighbors and nations.  Thankfully, we have some history of diplomacy and negotiation as well.  Rational faculties have been used but altogether too infrequently relative to our neural and mental capacities to do so.  

Tonight’s program is to discuss the possibility of “creative speaking and languaging” our way to peace, eco-harmony, social equity and prosperity.  Did I say that this was going to be easy?  Absolutely not!  But if there is a will to accomplish this, a commitment to it based on the understanding of its sheer, life-and-death Necessity (as in the proverb “Necessity is the Mother of Invention”), it can be done.  

Tune in tonight to hear more about how. As part of his work and practice, Mitchell has been working with conflict resolution and mediation techniques since the 1980’s.  As it is applied to couples, it can be applied to groups, corporations and nations.

Rocky Anderson and Tara Margolin speak with Mitchaell about the Bernie Sanders campaign and climate change.  We're at a critical moment and let's learn about what's next.

Wednesday, June 8, 6pm edt:  This evening, Mitchell will speak with world-renowned Dr. Stefan Stangaciu to learn about Apitherapy, an age-old, rich healing tradition of using virtually all aspects of a bee, from propolis and royal jelly to its venom.· 

Dr. Stangaciu has an extraordinary resume of accomplishments as a researcher, teacher, clinician and holistic, natural healer, with primary focus on Apitherapy, the use of all bee products for healing, especially integrated into Chinese energetics perspective.

Purchase Dr. Stangciu’s books here.

Stefan has taught in some 45 countries, in numerous languages and has appeared on radio and TV programs across the world about Apitherapy and how it has and can be used for numerous ailments when so often allopathic medicine simply doesn’t have the tools to remedy.  Many of the illnesses are degenerative and yet significantly alleviated if not fully healed through skilled application of Apitherapy.  Visit: www.apitherapy.com
