The Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder

According to the World Health Organization it is estimated that worldwide there is about one in 270 people has autism spectrum disorder.

In the United Kingdom one in 100 children has a diagnosis of autism. In 2014 the CDC has reported that one in 59 children in the United States has a diagnosis of Autism.

In the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis there are at least 100 children that have been diagnosed with autism.

The autism awareness symbol depicted above is a ribbon of puzzle pattern. This reflects the complexity of the autism spectrum. The different colours and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with the condition.

This video outlines top ten foods to nourish the body and boost your health. Thanks to Macka B.

In this video we explore the effects of an animal-based diet. The focus is mainly on increased consumption of protein, fats and cholesterol and how these impact the body. This is compared to a plant-based diet which is more conducive to overall health.

Hello everyone. What a way to start my year. Last week I came down with a throat infection which left me hoarse and tonsils inflamed for the first time in many years. Any way I remembered the black strap molasses treatment I used since 1978 when I should have had surgery to remove my tonsils. Thanks to the molasses I still have them. My pain is now down to less than one in ten but still hoarse. So my next video may come either on the week-end or early next week when my voice is clearer. Thanks for your patience while I heal. Have a nice day.

This video continues our exploration of diets around the world. In this presentation we briefly examine two contrasting types of diet and take a cursory look at trends influencing diet over the years.

Hello, if you are in St. Kitts today is an excellent day to check up on your health. I will be doing free Body Composition Analysis as part of the St. Kitts Lions 40th Anniversary Health Fair. See you there.

12/12/2019

Hello There. Now that you had a chance to review the NEWSTART philosophy you should be ready for the next phase of the journey. Come with me to a Nutrition Seminar I did on the topic: "Healthy, Wealthy and Ten Times Wiser." The question we attempt to answer in that seminar is, "Do You Know What is in the Food You Eat?"

Starting this week-end I will be sharing excerpts from that seminar so please take some time to follow my videos and invite your friends to follow as well.

Welcome to day 8 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE
As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "T" for Trust.

Trust
By now, you may have come to realize that you need help to improve your health and live in harmony with the NEWSTART principles.

Perhaps you have been trying to improve your lifestyle, but you realize that your efforts to change the habits that may have impaired your health have been fruitless. Have you considered that the power to change may need to come from without rather than within?

For some people, the changes that need to be made are only small ones, but for others the changes may seem insurmountable. Regardless of the changes that need to be made, achieving good health (and maintaining it!) may best be accomplished not by “trying” to make the changes, but by “trusting” that the changes can be made.

Lasting change can only come when you realize how ineffective your own efforts have been to fight the disease or the habits that have brought on the disease. For example, if you are fighting obesity and have developed high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, then the first step to recovery is to realize the dire situation in which you find yourself – a situation of sickness that can lead to death.

Maybe your doctor has already warned you of an impending stroke or heart attack. When this realization of the gravity of your situation sinks in, you are headed in the right direction. The next step is to develop trust. But trust in what? Some addiction recovery groups say to put your trust in a higher power. Here at NEWSTART, we believe the only Higher Power that is worthy of our complete trust is God, the Creator of the universe, our forever Friend.

Welcome to day 7 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE

As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "R" for Rest.

Rest
Today, as never before, “the pressure is on:” Pressure to beat out the other guy for the top spot. Pressure to get the highest grade in school, to advance to the next level. Pressure just to make ends meet in a teetering economy. Seems like no time to sleep, no time to meditate and rest! It is thought that working late into the night will accomplish much! So people pop pills, drink coffee, or use other energy boosting techniques to stay up late into the night, and into the wee hours of the morning in the hopes of getting the grade or finishing a task. Wait! Can we unravel the delicate fabric of life and really think we will win in the end?

A study was done where 44 college students put in an “all nighter” and then took a test in critical thinking. They performed worse on the test than an “eight-hour control group” but were more confident they had done better, and were more focused. Conclusion: College students are not aware of the extent to which sleep deprivation negatively affects their ability to complete cognitive tasks (Pilcher and Waters, 1997).

Welcome to day 6 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE

As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "A" for Air.

Air
Smog’s Contribution to Illness
You feel like someone’s choking you! Your chest feels tight—you may cough or wheeze—and you just can’t seem to catch your breath! You feel panicky! What do you do? You run for the freshest most oxygenated air around. Perhaps you grab an inhaler, maybe even take a whiff from an oxygen bottle, and you hope for miraculous relief. This scenario is not uncommon. About 20 million Americans suffer from asthma. In severe cases, asthma attacks can be deadly. They kill 5,000 people every year in the United States! Ask anyone with this condition how important air is. The culprit? Air pollution from cars, factories and power plants. More than 159 million Americans—over half the nation’s population—live in areas with bad air.

A research study published in 2002 estimated that 30 percent of childhood asthma is due to environmental exposures, costing the nation $2 billion per year. And studies also suggest that air pollution may contribute to the development of asthma in previously healthy people. For children with asthma, hospitalizations occur up to 26 percent more frequent on high air pollution days compared to normal days. Air pollution has also been implicated in causing pneumonia, heart attacks, heart arrhythmias, cancer, and other diseases. So my advice is to move out of the cities and enjoy the air the way God created it – fresh, crisp, clean, and with the scent of evergreen trees and flowers. Trees, water, and wind help keep air fresh.

Welcome to day 5 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE

As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "T" for Temperance.

Temperance
Balance has lost its true meaning: Modern society has become a society of excesses! We try to take something bad and make it good. For example, cigarette filters were added to ci******es in the 1950s, in response to the first reports that tar in ci******es was associated with the increased risk of lung cancer. Still, to***co is a major cause of death in the United States, killing 1200 Americans every day.

Alcohol increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, stomach ulcers, and cancer, and causes high blood pressure – a very dangerous condition for the cardiovascular system… Unfortunately, millions of people have become alcoholics, ruining body, mind, and soul, and destroying families in the process.

We need to rethink “moderation” and “balance.” The goal of temperate living is peak physical, mental and emotional well-being. Temperance really means to “abstain” from anything that is harmful and use in moderation things that are good. Temperance does not just involve alcohol, to***co, and drug use. It refers to all aspects of our lifestyle, whether it be overeating, overworking, too much play, or too little/much of anything.

Welcome to day 4 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE
As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "S" for Sunlight.

Sunlight
When we think “sunshine” we often think of a luxury SUN-cruise on the Caribbean, with stops at enchanting island retreats like Jamaica or Barbados, or we think CANCER. Why these extremes? In reality, most people can get plenty of sunshine in their own backyards! Ten or 15 minutes in noontime summer sun leads to the production of 10,000 IU (International Units) of Vitamin D, which has proven to decrease the risk for many cancers.

The myth is busted! Sunshine protects against a very deadly form of skin cancer called melanoma. A new study published in the March 2011 European Journal of Cancer discovered that those people who spent four to five hours in the sun each day over weekends were less likely to develop melanoma than those who did not. This is exciting for those who love the sun. (A word of caution here: those who burn easily were at higher risk regardless of the amount of time spent in the sun. So avoid sunburn.) Another piece of good news for sun lovers is that women with high sun exposure had half the risk of developing advanced breast cancer. Also, reduced risk of other cancers by sunshine include prostate, colon, lung, o***y, bladder, uterus, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Welcome to day 3 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE
As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "W" for Water.

Water
“Anything but water, please!” We really don’t say it, but when we go to the drive-up window or sit down to order a meal, that is exactly what most Americans in essence say: coffee please, or Mountain Dew, Coke, a milk shake, a glass of wine, but rarely plain water! Hot days? We automatically reach for a soda. Your brain is about 80% water. Water keeps you thinking clearly. “Anything but water” is a bad tradition that puts an overwhelming osmotic load into the blood stream, making it sticky and flow poorly.

Only water can create the proper environment for your blood to flow smoothly, help regulate your blood pressure, and promote vascular health. In one study, men who drank five or more glasses of water daily had a 54% less risk of a heart attack than those who drank two or less daily, or who used other beverages.

Welcome to day 2 of Dr. Carty's 3Rs: RENEW – REVITALIZE - RE-CREATE
As we unpack the meaning of NEWSTART the journey continues with the letter "E" for Exercise.

Exercise
We are a sedentary nation of couch potatoes addicted to computer games, TV, and spectator sports. We need exercise! Children who once were off the charts in exercise demand, now sit; and way too much – 17 percent are overweight or obese, largely due to sitting. This makes them prone to adult type 2 diabetes, with its dire complications.

Exercise may help:
• Control weight – the metabolic rate increases, burning more calories even at rest!
• Increase lung capacity and recharge oxygen supply
• Improve blood pressure, circulation, and strengthen your heart
• Lower cholesterol and improve blood flow in the arteries – it can even help reverse arteriosclerosis!
• Relieve stress, tension, depression, and improve sleep naturally – without a pill!
• Promote the body’s ability to get rid of toxic wastes.
• Improve metabolism – stabilizes blood sugar.
• Strengthen the bones and counteract osteoporosis
• Increase physical strength and tone of muscles by improving oxygen utilization.
• Improve posture and decrease back problems
• Prevent the big C word – CANCER

Welcome to Dr. Carty's 3Rs - RENEW ... REVITALIZE... RE-CREATE

I am a member of the NEWSTART Lifestyle Club and I have adopted the NEWSTART philosophy to guide my life. As we begin this journey to optimum health I will spend the next 8 days sharing with you the meaning of the acronym, NEWSTART. So the journey begins with the letter "N" for Nutrition.

Nutrition
The American Dietetic Association has finally conceded - a vegetarian diet can supply all the necessary dietary ingredients to maintain health. The prestigious Mayo Clinic endorses a plant-based diet. More and more researchers, physicians and nutritionists are beginning to echo the same “Go plant-based!” Eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts will prevent many diseases and cause others to disappear, largely through anti-inflammatory properties.

A plant-based diet assures one of getting the most antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals with the least amount of calories. Talk about eye-popping appeal to stimulate the appetite! Those brightly colored plant pigments of red, orange, yellow, blue, deep-green, have an added bonus – they fight disease! All of these beautiful pigments are abundant in health-giving phytochemicals!

Hello Everyone. Last week I shared with you the meaning of the Le Maris Logo. Today I share with you the history of the Logo and give you an insight into the journey I wish to invite you on. The Le Maris Logo was inspired by the Weimar Institute's NEWSTART Lifestyle Program. That Program is a physician monitored, scientifically researched lifestyle change program based on eight fundamental principles proven to help people achieve optimum health: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest and Trust.

While Le Maris Natural Health Consulting is not designed to duplicate the NEWSTART program, we do intend to take a holistic approach to helping you enhance your health. We believe that the information we will share on various topics such as diet modification, exercise, stress management, and spiritual development over the course of our journey will help you restore your health or enhance it in ways you never thought possible.

We invite all persons who are interested in personal development to take the Le Maris journey to optimum health. Whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Rastafarian, or of no particular religious persuasion does not matter. Our goal at Le Maris is to help in any way we can the many persons who are suffering from such conditions as hypertension, angina, obesity, arthritis, high cholesterol, diabetes, allergies, stress and other problems which plague modern society.

In our next post we will share with you an outline of the path our journey will take.
To your Optimum Health.
Dr. Lincoln Carty
Education, Health and Wellness Consultant.

Hello Everyone. Wondering what our Logo means? Yes many of you guessed it. The three basic necessities of life are Food for nutrition, Sunlight for energy, and Water for hydration and metabolism. What seems to be empty space inside the Logo is not really empty. It represents all the necessary intangibles you cannot see such as fresh Air, Exercise, Temperance, Rest and Trust in the Almighty. Yes. At Le Maris we take a holistic approach to your health. Have a Blessed Day!
