I want to empower individuals by having the knowledge
to make informed decisions that they won't regret."
~Dr. Ahuva Gamliel
Ahuva Gamliel earned a Naturopathic Doctor degree and a Master’s in Acupuncture from Bastyr University, a world renowned school for evidence-based natural medicine. As a licensed Acupuncture Physician/Primary Care Provider with over 20 years experience, she has been featured on Channel 10, Univision Channel 23, and Channel 6, eHOW and on numerous radio and internet interviews as an expert in her field.
Dr Gamliel’s passion and focus is on helping people to heal themselves. Because education and prevention are paramount to achieving this goal, Dr Gamliel has taught holistic medicine courses at Everglades University at both the Boca Raton and Kendall campuses in South Florida as a Professor of Alternative Medicine. She has also been a guest lecturer at Johnson & Wales University and Miami Dade College in North Miami.
Recently her interest has turned towards helping people to increase their feelings of self autonomy and self worth and specifically to empower and prepare youth for unexpected social situations where they can be taken advantage of by unsuspecting individuals in college and beyond.
Dr Gamliel is seeking opportunities to guest lecture at as many high schools, colleges, and universities as possible in effort to prevent people from becoming victims of assault by arming them with vital information, from discerning the red flags of possible perpetrators, to what are the available remedies after the fact. Her hope and aspiration is that by bringing more mindful awareness to this ongoing physical and mental health crisis, that together we can bring down the alarming statistics of people traumatized by sexual assault.
1 in 5 women
have experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime.
1 in 71 men
report experiencing rape during their lifetime.
These numbers are frightening, especially considering that many victims do not report these types of crimes due to fear, shame, guilt and the fact that many cases involve situations where the victim personally knew the attacker.
This is not a pleasant topic, but if we want our children to live in a safe world, we must talk about it. It's not comfortable, but it is necessary and this open hearted discussion will help people to understand many of the complex issues surrounding this topic and to prevent unnecessary harm and longterm emotional pain. As adults, it's our responsibility to protect our children (students / community) and this is how!
I would encourage not only students but also staff, counselors and teachers to attend such a workshop to be able to assist and identify those students in need of support in this matter.
The session with Dr Gamliel would be about 45 minutes of powerpoint presentation (with facts, data, statistics, research, remedies, resources, news and personal stories) followed by 15 minutes of Q & A.
Dr Gamliel is providing her time on a volunteer basis and will accept donations by Zelle to cover travel expenses to drgamliel@gmail.com.
Let's make the world a better, safer and healthier place together. Our efforts will have a ripple effect as students can teach their siblings what they learned and help them to be prepared in unforeseen situations.

"It's not what you know, it's what you do about it!"
When athletes get injured, they want to heal STAT so they can get back into the game ASAP! There are certain products, services and devices that help to speed up the healing and recovery process for athletes as well as non-athletes from injuries such as slip and fall, accidents, and even degeneration due to aging.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, and Athlete, I have come across many helpful holistic healing agents* in my practice and I've also had the opportunity to test many of them out on myself (*holistic meaning non-toxic, non-drug, natural remedies). The following recommendations contain hyperlinks to the best products that I am aware of:
SPORTS MEDICINE RECOMMENDATIONS
For muscle tension I use topical magnesium spray. It's great for shin splints, muscle strains ("pulling" a muscle) and tight and sore muscles etc. Magnesium is an essential mineral for muscle relaxation. Epsom salt baths are effective because it is essentially a magnesium soak (and the Mg gets absorbed through the skin). I recommend 2 cups of the salt per warm bath with 1 cup baking soda (for detox, assisting with lactic acid removal) plus 10 drops peppermint essential oil (another natural muscle relaxer) for best results.
Floatation tanks are amazing because they contain 1,000 lbs. of epsom salts and it relaxes the mind and body (remember, so much of sports is mental)! Float 8 located at 714A NE 13th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304 has several floatation pods. My favorite room is the "cabin" because it has a high ceiling. They have an option for relaxation music or quiet, LED lights or dark. The no sound no light option is called sensory deprivation and some people report deep meditative experiences. Use discount code ag-547460 for $20 OFF your first float!
I also take magnesium orally. This is a powder that can be added to water. I recommend drinking it during workouts. I alternate with BRCAAs (branch chain amino acids for building lean muscle) in my water during workouts and sometimes I also use collagen (to offset wear and tear and prevent degeneration of the joints, especially the knees).
Another topical ointment that is a must have in every athlete's home is arnicare. It is used for pain, inflammation and bruising and injuries where the skin is not broken. When the skin is broken, it may be taken orally to help the body heal itself faster.
There are various different herbal pain patches available (look for ones with menthol, and herbs that stimulate blood flow that have excellent reviews) that can be left on for 12 hours such as this one for knee pain. These types of patches are good because it is similar to kinesiology taping which stabilizes the injured joint and helps with alignment. There are countless menthol products such as biofreeze, IcyHot, and many others that have the same effect. The patch just keeps the substance in contact with the skin for a longer amount of time so it doesn't rub off on clothes or sheets.
Nutrition can help or hinder the body to heal! Fruits and vegetables and clean protein and lots of water help the body to heal itself by supporting the immune system. Drink smoothies, soup, and have fresh wholesome food when you are injured or sick to get the most vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and nutrients as possible. Dehydration can also contribute to muscle pain and subpar function and performance of the body. Sugar suppresses the immune system. Additives, preservatives, food coloring, artificial sweeteners and chemicals in the food (even pesticides) are substances which contribute to poor mental and physical health.
Make sure you are well hydrated. Avoid "energy" drinks. They have too much caffeine and can cause dehydration, anxiety and heart problems. Because athletes sweat a lot, we should also be putting electrolytes in our water to replenish what we excrete! Alkaline diet is anti-inflammatory so be mindful of eating more greens and fish and less meat and dairy. The herbalist known as Dr Sebi helped people to heal from so-called "incurable diseases" using the foods in the book link. As Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food!" Alkaline water machines can be expensive but may be worth the investment. You can also add chlorophyll drops to your water to make it more alkaline.
For a balanced diet, many athletes use the zone diet: 30% fats, 30% protein and 40% carbs. We all have different caloric needs based on our age, height, weight, genetics, physical activity, metabolism etc. Some athletes are trying to gain muscle mass and others may be wanting to get more lean. Using FREE Apps such as Better Human or My Fitness Pal can help athletes and nonathletes alike to obtain their fitness goals by tracking the foods that they consume and making sure they are eating in accordance with their goals. My favorite protein powders, health promoting supplements and nutritional products can be found here.
Acupuncture is great to keep the body balanced with optimal blood and energy flow. It can be used for prevention, maintenance, and treatment. Most acupuncturists also provide suction cup therapy (for muscle relaxation), infrared therapeutic heat, ultrasound therapy and other techniques that also help to stimulate and speed up the healing process of the body. According to the World Health Organization acupuncture is proven to be safe and effective in treating over 40 different conditions including: sciatica, sprains, tennis elbow, low back pain, knee pain, post operative pain, neck pain, periarthritis of the shoulder, and more!

Elite Athletes and Olympians Use Suction Cup Therapy!
I also go for regular tune ups with my chiropractor. I like to make sure that my spine and hips are in alignment, especially when I participate in high impact sports such as running and pole vaulting. In South Florida, I recommend Jillian Duquette. She is gentle and gets the job done without using excessive force. If you see her, please tell her that I referred you!
Many chiros and physical therapists use TENS units in their practice to contract and relax muscles which promotes circulation, lymphatic drainage, and healing. These devices are very inexpensive and can be utilized at home. Bruce Lee allegedly used TENS units to make himself look more muscular before shooting a movie!
Massage can also help to rehabilitate after injuries. Sports Massage can be deep and painful and experienced practitioners can be expensive. For affordable Swedish (relaxation) massage, I recommend supporting local massage schools such as Aveda. Massage devices such as this one can be helpful as well and are often used by health care practitioners such as physical therapists and chiropractors. Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy are also worth looking into for energy healing. Reiki is used in hospitals. They call it Healing Hands.
Yoga/Stretching, Foam Rollers and Exercise Bands are also very important. Flexibility is a key component to help people to bounce back from injuries faster. People who are more flexible are less likely to get hurt when they fall or have an accident that would otherwise hurt someone whose body is less limber. There are countless YouTube videos for Yoga, even specialty videos for specific concerns from herniated discs and beyond. Like everything, consistency is key. So daily practice, even 10 minutes per day is ideal. Exercise bands are ideal for resistence training. They help to rebuild muscle strength and improve range of motion without using heavy weights. Foam rollers allow self-massage and can be very beneficial.
If you have access to an infrared sauna or cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, those can also be utilized for athletes to help heal all kinds of injuries and ailments. They can be expensive therapies so it may not be so accessible for everyone (see Groupon for local deals and discounts). Some sports centers have ice baths for their athletes which would have the same effect as the cryotherapy. Ice and cold is best when the injury is acute (fresh, just happened). When it is sub-acute (up to 12 weeks post injury), alternating heat and ice (always end with ice) is a form of hydrotherapy which has the effect of pumping the blood through the body and helping the healing process. For a sprained ankle for example, put a hot pack (or enema bag) on the area for 3 minutes and then a pack of frozen peas or ice on the area for 30 seconds. Repeat this cycle 3 times. The entire treatment takes just over 10 minutes and helps to promote healing.
Cabbage poltice is great for reducing inflammation. Watch this video to learn more about this cheap and effective home remedy:
I recently injured my shoulder (I could not lift up my arm) and had access to try a device utilizing PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field) Therapy. It uses magnetic therapy to positively charge the cells in the body to aid microcirculation and promote healing. I can't say I understand exactly how it works but it is backed by 100s of scientific research studies and my experience with the treatment was very positive. In just a few sessions over the course of a week, the improvement has been dramatic! It's not 100% gone yet but I consider the speed of the healing process remarkable.
This 6 minute video gives a nice overview on this modality:
Post Haste Pharmacy in Hollywood, FL has this $6,000 full body Bemer mat and they sell 1 month treatment packages for only $99 (please tell them I referred you if you go). Or you can buy a disposable $22 device to treat small specific areas for about 25 hours of battery life (then you throw it away). I bought this home device and am happy with it (I sleep with it on). There is another option for about $1800 you can have your own full body mat set and have treatments in the comfort of your home for the entire family. I think this option would be ideal if you can spring for it (they offer payment plans too)! Just read the reviews, it even works on pets! (and comes with a 3 year warranty). NOTE: PEMF Technology is contraindicated in anyone who has metal in their body and not recommended for anyone with a history of cancer. Consult with your primary care physician before starting this or any new therapy.
BALANCE AND MODERATION
As eager as we are for instant gratification, some things can't be rushed. Ultimately healing takes time and returning to a sport before the body is ready can lead to more debilitating injuries. It's okay to rest! Listen to your doctor and your body, don't rush it. Sleep is important for healing. Make sure you are getting enough good quality sleep. Experts agree that over-training is detrimental to progress and increases injury risk. We often put too much pressure on ourselves. It's important to participate in sports for our health and wellbeing and because we love it. When we put too much pressure on ourselves it can backfire and the stress causes us not to perform our best. Do things that nurture your spirit such as walking in nature, going to the beach (getting fresh air), music, art, dance, journaling etc.
SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY
Many people in the pole vault community follow Team Hoot on social media. Shawn Francis is a tremendous resource for athletes. His podcast contains numerous interviews with all kinds of experts who address the mental and emotional aspect of sports. I highly recommend it! As he says, "it's 80% mental and the rest is in your head." So to be the best at your sport, you have to be your best mentally. To cultivate a more relaxed and focused mind, meditation is a great tool and practice. Here is a free guided meditation created by yours truly as well as some positive affirmations. Hope you enjoy them!
One of my favorite remedies for stress and anxiety is Rescue Remedy. It is available in many forms and flavors and there is a formula for pets too (when loud noises scare them such as fireworks or thunder).
The beauty of Naturopathic Medicine is that the treatment and the prevention strategies are often very similar. So see what resonates with you from this blog and ask your health care provider to create a plan to put some of these strategies into action. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
I wish I knew all this stuff when I was in high school, lucky you!!! 😊

Natural or holistic medicine has a foundation of nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle. By lifestyle we include sufficient good quality sleep, clean air, nature, sunshine (Vitamin D) stress reduction techniques such asmeditationand relaxation activities, not smoking and not consuming alcohol in excess. By physical activity we mean not living a sedentary (coach potato) life. Exercise will vary according to people's age, needs, and health/fitness goals, but generally 20-60 minutes 3-5 days per week.
Nutrition is a very broad topic. In general, Americans are consuming way too many processed foods and not enough fresh fruits and vegetables. This is the leading cause of obesity and diabetes which affects 1 in 3 people in the USA. Even vegetarians who eat organic produce may have nutrient deficiencies due to the mineral depletion of our soil. Natural supplements can help compensate for that and assist people to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. Below is a list of common health concerns with corresponding natural supplement recommendations. Each recommendation is a hyperlink which will take you to a specific product on Amazon.
Please note that with naturopathic medicine, there is no magic bullet or quick fix, we need to find and treat the cause of the condition. Therefore, these homeopathic and herbal supplement suggestions are simply general ideas of safe products to try but they are not intended as an alternative to seeking competent medical care. If you have a condition on this list and wish to take one of the remedies suggested, please have the product supervised and approved by your primary care provider prior to taking it.

MiBaSo Holistic Health has helped people of all backgrounds to overcome
addictions using Acupuncture and holistic health remedies since 2006. We provide services at our office as well as on location. Our Acupuncture Physician Ahuva Gamliel holds a specialty
certification in treating addiction using acupuncture.She was trained at the Lincoln Rehabilitation
Center in the Bronx, New York where people are court mandated to receive
acupuncture treatment due to drug related crimes.Because she is so passionate about helping
people to break harmful habits for good, she has published several guided meditations to help people heal from substance abuse. The downloadable MP3 meditations can be found in the hyperlinks below.
Over the last three decades there has been
an increasing interest in acupuncturetreatment of substance abuse
around the world. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been utilized in China
for more than 2,000 years, and it has been practiced in treatment of
substance addiction and non-substance addictions. TCM have efficacy in the
rehabilitation of abnormal physical problems induced by chronic drug use,
including improving immune function, increasing working memory, and protecting
against neurological disorders.
Given that TCM is potentially effective in the prevention of relapse, it has
been suggested that TCM may be the ideal choice in the future for the treatment
of many types of addiction. The neurochemical and behavioral evidence showed thatacupuncture's role in suppressing
the reinforcing effects of abused drugs takes place by modulating mesolimbic
dopamine neurons. Also, several brain neurotransmitter systems such as
serotonin, opioid and amino acids including GABA have been implicated in the
modulation of dopamine release byacupuncture. Clinical trials
provide clear evidence for the biological effects ofacupuncturethat ultimately help us
to understand howacupuncturecan be a useful tool in
treating addictions. See articles below for more information.
For best results it is recommended to do acupuncture
together with other non-invasive holistic therapies such as counseling,
narcotics anonymous (alcoholics anonymous, overeater’s anonymous and the like),
exercise and nutritious eating and natural remedies such as homeopathics.Overconsuming
sugar, caffeine and other stimulating foods can cause spikes in blood glucose
levels which affect mood and decision making negatively.When used in the supportive context as part
of a detox plan, acupuncture is
an effective, simple and economical method for the detoxification of alcohol
and other drugs.
Smoking
Smoking
can be one of the most difficult habits to break. Sometimes people try on their
own to quit using nicotine gum, patches, and pills but they still find it hard
to kick the habit completely on their own.In order for acupuncture to work, the person has to really want to
quit.If someone is dragged in for
treatment by a well-meaning friend or family member, it won’t work for them
because acupuncture is a support system, it cannot work against somebody’s
will.It can reduce cravings, help to
detoxify the organs of elimination and decrease the irritability associated
with withdrawing from nicotine but it cannot be forced.If a person is ready and willing, we are able
to work on this together to get the best results.
Smoking may seem to be a benign addiction but many studies have shown that it is in fact detrimental to health and wellbeing and can contribute to many diseases in the body. This meditation for smoking cessation is to help people stop smoking and reduces their risk for preventable conditions due to lifestyle habits.

Meditation includes background binaural beats to relax the subconscious mind,progressive muscle relaxation to release the tension in the body, visualization to guide the mind with imagery, positive affirmations and more!
Alcohol & Other Drugs Many people turn to alcohol or narcotics to numb
their feelings and escape their problems.Alcohol, however, only makes things worse for them.Instead of running away from life,
acupuncture helps a person to feel calm, cool, and collected and they are thus
better able to cope with the challenges and pressures of life.It is also a wonderful treatment for
post-traumatic stress disorder.The way
that it works is by releasing serotonin from the brain.Serotonin in the neurotransmitter that’s
responsible for feeling of wellbeing.When a person is clear, focused and level-headed, they can make the best
decisions for themselves and their family.Acupuncture can reduce cravings, help to detoxify the organs of
elimination and decrease the irritability associated with withdrawing from
alcohol but it cannot be forced on a person by a friend or family member.If a person is ready and willing to commit to
treatment, we are able to work on this together to get the best results.
Eating Disorders
Traditional Chinese acupuncture has stood the test of
time and is one of the best-known complementary and alternative
therapies. Acupuncture stimulates
the nervous system and alters the processing and perception of pain signals
and also releases natural painkillers, such as endorphins and serotonin in the
nervous system. Acupuncture's
successful use for various stress conditions has been proven.Many people develop eating disorders as a
response to psychological pain.Acupuncture
has helped people to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder and also with
substance abuse.For these reasons, it
can also be an effective tool in treating anorexia, bulimia, overeating, and
body image perception.The use of
complementary therapies and specifically acupuncture in the treatment
of anorexia nervosa,
for example, may provide important adjunctive care to allow a comprehensive
treatment approach that potentially improves quality of life, reduces anxiety
and instils hope for recovery.
Ahuva Gamliel has created this meditation for eating/body image disorders. She also recorded meditations for relaxation and overall wellbeing as well as positive affirmations. The hyperlinks are to 99 cent downloads that you can listen to on your devices without needing any internet connection. Links to additional meditations can be found
below.
Since addiction has both emotional and spiritual components, she recorded this meditation to address the spiritual components of addiction and mental health and wellness.

COVID 19 DISCLOSURE
In an effort to make our office environment safe for everyone we will be:
The following is an interview that Dr Ahuva Gamliel conducted with colleague Alan Pratt.
Dr G: Please tell us about yourself.
AP: I conduct sound healing ceremonies around the U.S., and coach thousands of people about mind/body/spirit health. I have a number of cancer cures and other healing 'miracles' to my credit. At 55, I am wildly healthy, have not been to a doctor's office in a decade, take no prescription or off-the-shelf medications of any kind, don't drink coffee, alcohol or sodas, and don't eat meat or poultry. My fuel intake is VERY GREEN, mostly big kale salads, fruit & nuts & whole grains, 70% raw/live, 30% cooked, with the occasional eggs or fish. I feel AWESOME.
Dr G: What inspired you to create the monthly 3 day green juice detox program?
AP: Once I'd experienced the power of greener eating, juicing & fasting, I wanted to share it. I had a warehouse in Brooklyn called GrandSpace, an artists' residence & community center. For 2 years we led monthly green juice fasts, and up to 75 people participated each month. We presented educational seminars before each fast, and held a celebration at the end of each fast with a raw food party & a healing circle. That was in 2003/04. Then I moved to Florida and led juice fasts in Lake Worth through the Soma Center, in 2007/08. I've been touring the country for the past 5 years as a spiritual healer. Now I want to bring healing & the power of GREEN to the people!
Dr G: What do you hope to accomplish with this project?
AP: Let's combat obesity, cancer & other global illnesses through juice fasting & greener eating. Let’s maximize our media & social networking systems, to get tens of millions of people around the world to do a 3-day juice fast or health food cleanse at the beginning of each month. We want everyone juice fasting – our president & first family, the TV news anchors & talk show hosts, our spiritual leaders, recording artists, movie stars & sports icons. Let’s put it on reality TV – that’s real life drama & real life healing. Let's take health & healing to the people. We have the power to heal ourselves & society; let's do it!
Dr G: What are the benefits of green juice fasting?
AP: Clear toxins & accumulated waste from the colon & digestive tract. Alkalize & hydrate the body. Abstaining from food allows the body to direct more energy to healing specific illnesses & injuries. Abstaining from sugar starves & kills off the bacteria, mold, yeast & fungus in the body. A dietary intake of large amounts of green juice gives the body a super boost of minerals & nutrients. Juice fasting causes the body to drain mucus from the organs & muscle tissue, relieving the body of soreness & pain. Juice cleansing makes the physical body lighter & more flexible, the emotional body more positive, balanced & happy, and the mind more alert, efficient & creative. Fasting is also a powerful spiritual experience, and the cleansing of the body is a vital part of the spiritual path.
Dr G: Are there any contraindications or dangers?
AP: The fasting process pulls toxins & accumulated waste out of every part of the body. It is vitally important to get this toxic waste ALL the way OUT of the body, so we must drink a LOT of water & juice. Many people experience headaches & constipation while fasting; the solution is MORE green juice, more water & rest. We recommend a magnesium solution for people who are new to fasting, as it is very effective in clearing the system & avoiding extreme discomfort. During a fast, we can get 'trippy', light headed, dizzy -- so be careful driving a car, operating machinery, etc.
Dr G: What is your vision for participation in this project?
AP: My job is to speak the vision, build a core team, spread the word & watch it fly. We're generating this project in South Florida, but given the power of Facebook & other social networks, the Monthly 3-Day Cleanse will quickly go global.
Dr G: Give is a sample 3 day menu for people who don't know where to start.
AP: We want everyone to participate, so we include different levels/types of cleansing, detoxing & improving our fuel intake.
* 3 days of only green juice
* 3 days of green juice, green powders & green supplements
* 3 days of green & fruit juices
* 3 days of 'master cleanse' (lemon water, cayenne, honey)
* 3 days of only green & fruit smoothies
* 3 days of eating only raw/live vegan food
* 3 days eating only vegan food
* 3 days cutting out all coffee, alcohol & energy drinks, and replacing with green drinks
Or design your own 3-day cleanse. And, of course, people may extend their cleanse longer than 3 days.
Dr G: Will people feel hungry during a juice fast? Do you get enough calories to exercise and for vigorous mental activities?
AP: You can absolutely get all the nutrients, minerals, live enzymes, protein & hydration you need to exercise, do your work & live your life. This is why we promote GREEN juice fasting above fruit juice fasting, the 'master cleanse' (water, lemon, cayenne, honey/maple/agave), or a pure water fast, ESPECIALLY FOR THE NEWCOMERS. Note however that a cleanse is a process of purification & purging, so sometimes we will feel like resting & sometimes we will feel light & active. Listen to your body.
Dr G: Anything else you wish to add that we haven't covered?
AP: Greener eating, juicing & cleansing are only a PART of being brilliantly healthy. The 'Powerful Practices' page on www.alanpratt.net gives inspiration & resources for total mind/body/spirit health and an exciting life!
Dr G: THANK YOU for your time and for this wonderful project you are leading!
