A MIRACLE IN WISCONSIN

[Guest guest]

It is information like the following that reinforces ones confidence in

the fact that the means to create a far, far better world is abundantly

and immediately to hand. Let's share it and get it used!

 

Health Issues A Miracle in Wisconsin

 

http://www.stratiawire.com/article.asp?id=655

 

OCTOBER 14. In Appleton, Wisconsin, a revolution has occurred. It's

taken place in the Central Alternative High School. The kids now behave.

The hallways aren't frantic. Even the teachers are happy.

 

The school used to be out of control. Kids packed weapons. Discipline

problems swamped the principal's office.

 

But not since 1997.

 

What happened? Did they line every inch of space with cops? Did they

spray valium gas in the classrooms? Did they install metal detectors in

the bathrooms? Did they build holding cells in the gym?

 

Afraid not. In 1997, a private group called Natural Ovens began

installing a healthy lunch program. Huh?

 

Fast-food burgers, fries, and burritos gave way to fresh salads, meats

"prepared with old-fashioned recipes," and whole grain bread. Fresh

fruits were added to the menu. Good drinking water arrived.

 

Vending machines were removed.

 

As reported in a newsletter called Pure Facts, "Grades are up, truancy

is no longer a problem, arguments are rare, and teachers are able to

spend their time teaching."

 

Principal LuAnn Coenen, who files annual reports with the state of

Wisconsin, has turned in some staggering figures since 1997. Drop-outs?

Students expelled? Students discovered to be using drugs? Carrying

weapons? Committing suicide? Every category has come up ZERO. Every

year.

 

Mary Bruyette, a teacher, states, "I don't have to deal with daily

discipline issuesSI don't have disruptions in class or the difficulties

with student behavior I experienced before we started the food program."

 

One student asserted, "Now that I can concentrate I think it's easier to

get along with peopleS"What a concept---eating healthier food increases

concentration.

 

Principal Coenen sums it up: "I can't buy the argument that it's too

costly for schools to provide good nutrition for their students. I found

that one cost will reduce another. I don't have the vandalism. I don't

have the litter. I don't have the need for high security."

 

At a nearby middle school, the new food program is catching on. A

teacher there, Dennis Abram, reports, "I've taught here almost 30 years.

I see the kids this year as calmer, easier to talk to. They just seem

more rational. I had thought about retiring this year and basically I've

decided to teach another year---I'm having too much fun!"

 

Pure Facts, the newsletter that ran this story, is published by a

non-profit organization called The Feingold Association, which has

existed since 1976. Part of its mission is to "generate public awareness

of the potential role of foods and synthetic additives in behavior,

learning and health problems. The [Feingold] program is based on a diet

eliminating synthetic colors, synthetic flavors, and the preservatives

BHA, BHT, and TBHQ."

 

Thirty years ago there was a Dr. Feingold. His breakthrough work proved

the connection between these negative factors in food and the lives of

children. Hailed as a revolutionary advance, Feingold's findings were

soon trashed by the medical cartel, since those findings threatened the

drugs-for-everything, disease-model concept of modern healthcare.

 

But Feingold's followers have kept his work alive.

 

If what happened in Appleton, Wisconsin, takes hold in many other

communities across America, perhaps the ravenous corporations who invade

school space with their vending machines and junk food will be tossed

out on their behinds. It could happen.

 

And perhaps ADHD will become a dinosaur. A non-disease that was once

attributed to errant brain chemistry. And perhaps Ritalin will be seen

as just another toxic chemical that was added to the bodies of kids in a

crazed attempt to put a lid on behavior that, in part, was the result of

a subversion of the food supply.

 

For those readers who ask me about solutions to the problems we face --

here is a real solution. Help these groups. Get involved. Step into the

fray. Stand up and be counted.

 

The drug companies aren't going to do it. They're busy estimating the

size of their potential markets. They're building their chemical

pipelines into the minds and bodies of the young.

 

Every great revolution starts with a foothold. Sounds like Natural Ovens

and The Feingold Association have made strong cuts into the big rock of

ignorance and greed.

 

Go for it.

MIRACLE IN WISCONSIN - Followup Webmaster Bob

 

Today I received from the person that sent me the "Miracle In Wisconsin"

article, a follow-up from the Doctor who originally sent him the story.

 

This adds even more credibility to our position that Nutrition (and not

drugs) is the key to eliminating many if not all of the "negative

symptoms" or ADD/ADHD! Nutirition has been working in the Results

Project.... and at the Appleton Central Alternative School for 5 years!

Good Morning!

 

Several people I had eMailed the Straita newswire to came back doubting

it was true and figured it was a hoax... Well as curiosity almost killed

this cat, I decided to call the Appleton School this morning and was put

through to the Dean of Students... seems he has received several hundred

calls and was extremely willing to answer any and all questions I had...

in fact he is sending much more by mail about what it is their doing

including a video tape.

 

WOW! It's much more than I suspected when it came to "educating" the

students. Enjoy the following response... I loved the fact there are NO

vending machines!!

 

Wellness and Nutrition Program Appleton Central Alternative School and

Natural Ovens and Bakery of Manitowoc, Wisconsin

 

School districts across the nation are looking for ways to improve their

schools, but they often overlook an important influence on learning -

good nutrition. The connection between nutrition and learning is

well-established among scientists. They are clearly aware that

inadequate food intake limits children's ability to learn about their

world. Researchers know that chronically undernourished children must

use their energy for tasks in order of importance: first for maintenance

of critical organ functions, second for growth, and last for social

interaction and overall cognitive functioning.

 

Appleton Central Alternative High School and Natural Ovens of Manitowoc

are committed to provide good nutrition for our students through the

development and implementation of a healthy and natural breakfast,

lunch, and snack program. The program, now in its fifth year of

operation, has been funded through the generous support of Natural Ovens

of Manitowoc owners, Paul and Barbara Stitt. Natural Ovens has

contributed over $100,000.00 for the construction of an ACAS kitchen,

food service equipment, employment of two cooks and a student assistant,

training, and payment of any excess food bills. Access to soda, candy,

chips, and chemically processed food items is prohibited for our

students.

 

The Wellness and Nutrition Program incorporates new knowledge into our

existing physical education courses, thus improving the nutritional

status and cognitive development of our most at risk clientele at ACAS.

 

Lifelong eating habits and physical fitness are reinforced across the

content areas. Objectives of the program include having the students

gain thorough knowledge of the integral role a healthy diet plays in

maintaining the body and mind. Students are also exposed to the

understanding of the possibility of an improved quality of life that

each person can achieve with increased energy and stamina, and

understanding the import role that good nutrition and physical fitness

play in preventing life-threatening diseases.

 

Expected outcomes of the program include: Increased ability to

concentrate in the school setting (more on-task behavior). Increased

cognitive development. Ability to think more clearly, objectively, and

rationally. Achieve fewer health complaints, i.e. headaches, stomach

aches, general malaise. Increase attendance in school and work. Fewer

disciplinary referrals. Reduce the feeling of hunger in mid-morning

and/or mid-afternoon. Less moodiness and more calmness in school and

personal lives. Increased practice of good nutrition outside of school.

 

Natural Ovens of Manitowoc has recently agreed to continue their funding

of Central's Nutrition Program for a fifth year. In addition, Natural

Ovens is collaborating with Yale University to conduct research to

determine the effects of healthy eating in relationship to the levels of

serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Both are neuro-transmitters

affecting the functioning of the brain. This study includes testing

cortisol, a hormone produced by the blood sugar controlling adrenal

gland. Cortisol also stimulates the release of amino acids from muscle

tissue and fatty acids from adipose tissue. The amino acids are then

converted to glucose in the liver for use by the brain. The fatty acids

then can be used by skeletal muscles for energy, thus allowing the

glucose to be utilized more efficiently by the brain.

When I was working in corrections there was an experiment at a large rural

prison. All red meat and related products were eliminated from the diet

of prisoners for 3 months. Violence and aggression related incidents went to

almost zero. Corrections was so freaked out they immediately

re-instated the old food program and the stats went back to "normal."

 

In the clinic where I work, 5o per cent of ten practitioners clientle is

children with "ADHD." When you eliminate sugar and food additives, 5o per

cent of the problem goes away; when you eliminate the dysfunctional school

culture (easier said than done), 5o per cent of that goes away; when

you eliminate the stress from family breakup, another 50 per cent goes away.

 

Interesting note...........I started teaching kundalini yoga at a high school

where there was a lot of violence. It was in the evening and

involved no high school students. Since I statred there was only once incident

of violence. That was when the class was cancelled for some reason

or another. Co-incidence?

Hi Dharam Singh,

A Small world. Natural ovens is about 10 miles north of my house. Their Web

site is http://naturalovens.com and has interesting nutritional info. I got

their address off a loaf of bread in my freezer. They have many delicious

varietys( Nutty wheat is my favorite). It is what I have been eating for years

and is in all of the grocery stores in central Wisconsin. My daughter is also

the Principal of Wilson Middle school in Appleton (Shannon Kilton). I forwarded

her your post to see if she had any input. If I hear any other info I will
