As
we move into November thoughts turn
towards the holiday meals we will get to
eat. Thanksgiving is a holiday that
conjures up thoughts of foods and family.
It is a great time to take stock of how
much you have to be thankful for in your
life. If thoughts come up about
disappointments and things you do not want
in your life. Now is a great time to
comtemplate changes that will create the
life you want this time next year.
Remember fall is the time to plant the
seeds for next year's harvest.

We
are now selling natural handmade
bath and body products!
 Since
I started the practice many of you
have been asking me to sell my
handmade natural bath and body
products because you have enjoyed
them and wanted to have access to
them. I have been unable to make
them due to the growth and
expansion of the practice until
now! Last week, I have the good
fortune to meet Cassandra Harris,
the creator and owner of Creations
By Cassandra. Creations By
Cassandra sells natural bath and
body products. She has agreed to
display and sell her products in
the office. Starting today we will
have her product for you to sample
and purchase. There is even a
possibility that next year she
will start making some of my
recipes for therapeutic purposes
next year. I will keep you posted.
Her products make fantastic gifts
or treats for you and the ones you
love.

Recipe
for the Month - Cooking with
Cranberries
In
the spirit of
Holiday
cooking I wanted to give a couple
is simple recipes that could be
used during the holiday season.
The first recipe is a simple
cranberry sauce. Most people do
not realize how simple cranberry
sauce is to prepare to only takes
10 minutes. Your guests will think
you are a gourmet for preparing it
fresh. You can add nuts or
pineapple chunks to add a
wonderful twist. The second recipe
is a wonderful dessert that is
light and not too sweet. It is
perfect after a heavy meal.
Simple
Cranberry Relish
Combine in a large skillet
1 pound cranberries, picked over
2 cups turbinado sugar
½ cups water
½ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
Cook at medium heat for 7 to 10
minutes. The cranberries will
start to 'pop' and the liquid
congeal. The longer you cook it
the thicker it will be become. If
this is the first time you are
cooking cranberry sauce you want
make sure the temperature is not
to high because as the cranberries
'pop' they will splatter and make
a mess on the stove top and your
clothes.
Pear-
Cranberry Pie
8 medium Anjou or Bartlett pears,
peeled and slice
½ cup fresh cranberries
1 cup turbinado
1 heaping tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
½ orange juice
2 teaspoon grated orange zest
*2 tablespoon butter or butter
substitute
Double crust - this means you will
use a crust in the pie pan and one
over the pie ingredients.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a
bowl add pears, cranberries,
sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger,
salt, orange juice and zest. Mix
and pour into the pie crust. Dot
with butter or butter substitute
and cover with top crust. Make air
vents. Bake for 15 minutes. Then
lower the heat to 350 degrees and
bake 30 minutes until pie browned.
Enjoy!
* If you use a butter substitute
do not use margarine. Margarine
has trans fatty acids which have
been associated with clogging of
the arteries and heart disease.

Tip
for the Month - How to deal with stress
associated with the holidays.
Thanksgiving is the most travelled holiday
of the year in the
US
. It is a time when families get together
to celebrate. While we all love of
families we don't always get along with
them. The combination of travel and family
"togetherness" can cause stress
and frustration in many individuals. It is
important to take time to realize if you
are one of the individuals that fall into
this category and build in personal time
to keep you calm during the periods of
stress. Think about what behaviors trigger
stress in you and take responsibility for
your stress. Then when you are feeling
triggered find a way to remove yourself
temporarily remove yourself from the
situation. Find a quiet place to sit down,
take 10 deep breaths and allow yourself to
relax (Use your stress management
techniques, that i have taught you).
Remember that you what peace in this
situation and do not let your ego override
your intention for peace in the situation.
Once you have calmed yourself you can go
back to the situation look at it with new
perspective.
I wish you love, peace and blessing. Have
a healthy holiday.
In Health,
Dr. Daemon Jones
