Sensei Mattson,
My sister is a renowned alternative clinical therapist. If you are interested in diet changes that make a difference, she recommends processed sugar elimination and gluten elimination. I'm happy to forward you the diets at your request, I've been off sugar for three years and off gluten for about a year. The difference is palpable.
Regards,
Stan Helinski

Hi Sensei,
She doesn't mind at all, in fact, they are posted online. The two she believes everyone should be on are the processed sugar and gluten, gluten being extremely important. I've seen incredible differences in energy and awareness being off both for so long.
Here's the link… http://www.eliteimt.com/diet.htm
Have a great day,
Stan

Very welcome. You should know that the sugar elimination has a prominent detox period, usually accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting after day 3. This is expected. Sugar is hidden in just about everything, such as just about any kind of retail juice. The definition of “juice concentrate” is containing approx 50% “fruit drink,” which is defined as sugar and juice mixture. It takes time to figure it all out, but once you do, it’s quite worth it.
Good luck!
Stan

Jay Nussbaum's new novel
Hi everyone,
I hope this email doesn't come as an unwelcome intrusion, but I wanted to let all of you know that my new novel, A Monk Jumped Over a Wall, will be coming out November 1, and I'd sure appreciate your support. It's available for pre-order now on Amazon.com and all the online bookseller websites. I do genuinely believe that anyone with an interest in martial arts--especially if your interest extends beyond the physical part to the philosophical component--will love this book. Because notwithstanding the poor kicking form displayed by the silhouette on the book's cover, the inside part delves into the heart of martial arts and Eastern philosophy, all within the context of a very funny, moving story.
Okay, now the requisite part about how many other people love it and, therefore, so should you:
The American Booksellers Association has just decided to include it on their prestigious "BookSense Picks" list for November. Bookstore professionals have embraced it, such as Kester Smith: "Nussbaum writes like a more literary John Grisham meets a less English Nick Hornby...During a time when literary can too often mean confusing or adorable, Nussbaum is neither. A Monk Jumped Over A Wall is concise and compassionate..." And Terry Lucas: "I haven't been pulled into a book in this way for some time and I thank you for the experience." And then there are the reviewers. Kirkus reviews called it a "meaningful look at the strength it takes to shed the person you thought you were to become the person you were meant to be" and "Bittersweet and unflinchingly real." And Publishers Weekly said: "[T]he story could not be more timely."
You can read more about it on my publisher's website: http://www.tobypress.com/books/monkjumpedoverwall.htm. (My own site, www.jaynussbaum.com, will hopefully go live next week.) Please pick up a copy for yourself, and for everyone you've ever met.
Thanks for your time, and if you get the book, please let me know what you think of it.
Warmest regards,
Jay Nussbaum

Uechi-ryu and Goju???
Mattson Sensei,
I read the following discription at http://www.martial-arts-info.com/137/uechi-ryu/
Martial Arts: Uechi Ryu
Uechi Ryu is one of the four original styles of karate in Okinawa. Uechi Ryu utilises many kicking and striking techniques drawn from Chinese Kempo. Uechi Ryu practices some of the Goju Ryu kata especially Sanchin, Sanseiru and Sesan. Uechi Ryu also draws other influences from Goju Ryu including low leg kicks, grappling and takedowns. Uechi Ryu is considered a hard style of karate, which is ideally suited to fighting at close range.
Origin of Uechi Ryu: Okinawa
Founder of Uechi Ryu: Uechi Kanbun (+1949)
Popularised by: George Mattson
That does not sound accurate to me. I am not trying to start an Internet Fight, but I am thinking the part about some of Uechi/Pangai-Noon kata coming out from Goju Ryu is misleading. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Osu.
E. Samuel Nieves.
You are correct Sam. The only thing Uechi and Goju share is the "names" of some kata.
Best,
George

More Interesting Newsletter responses
George,
I read with great interest your article on you and Susan's detox program.
Now approaching 61 I have also been examining my health and eating habits.
I DID have my long dreaded colonoscopy this year with only three small non-malignant polyps discovered. I also had put this off for years and should not have.
My wife, an active tennis player and golfer, had a heart episode resulting in five stints recently. This has resulted in a better diet finding it's way into our kitchen.
However, I myself had not committed myself to a better overall diet but thanks to your article I am now motivated to do so.
I continue to practice my Uechi regularly but unfortunately not in a dojo. I have also dabbled in Tai Chi and Zen. I feel Tai Chi and Zen round out my Uechi training.
Denise and I are now in our winter residence here on Hilton Head Island playing lots of golf and tennis. There are no Uechi dojos in the area.
We are taking out kids and grand kids to Disney in a few weeks and will play golf at the Jack Nicklaus course in Windemere and also will play the Celebration course. Is your dojo nearby? I doubt there would be time for a workout but you never know.
Regards,
Norm Drainville

Newsletter comment from Chairman of IUKF
From our own Dr. Paul Haydu:
Very nice newsletter, George. I'm sure your private lesson students are getting allot out of their work with you! It's a great way to reach students all over the world.
Glad to hear that you and Susan are starting a path towards good health. I particularly appreciated your call to our overweight brothers and sisters to take their own health into their own hands...and to be good role models in the process!
Best,
Paul

October Newsletter responses
Received over a hundred email from all over the world in response to my last newsletter. I wrote an article for my home page on this response. Here are a few of these e-mail:
From one of my early students - from the Columbus Avenue Dojo era:
George...
Many thanks for the description of your detox program. Much appreciate being on your mailing list.
Simplifying our diet here in Maine has been a goal of mine for some time. I find that the fewer the ingredients, the simpler -- and usually the healthier -- the meal.
Here are three cookbooks that have helped me a good deal in this effort...
Cooking with Three Ingredients -- Andrew Schloss
500 3-Ingredient Recipes -- Robert Hildebrand and Carol Hildebrand
Fix-It and Forget-It 5-Ingredient Favorites -- Comforting Slow-Cooker Recipes -- Phyllis Pellman Good
I use my six quart Rival Crock-Pot to create simple, yet interesting meals of just inexpensive pork, lamb or chicken and vegetables. I usually turn the leftovers into delicious soup with almost no effort at all -- just add stock. Make sure you either make your own stock
-- without salt -- or buy low salt stock.
I hope you find these suggestions useful!

I must have used my speed reading talents,,I thought it was a fine write. Of course I DO understand the medical feelings that go into such an effort. Just keep me posted..I'm up in Boston Monday,,,same ole crap. Needles and pins,,,pee in jugs....Played golf with Art yesterday,,,we both we terrible. I mean I haven't played so bad in years. Haven't had a decent game in weeks. I think I might hang em up for now. Never ever felt that way but it's frustrating as hell. I don't know if we are coming to Fla. this year. Will let you know. Best to Susan.
