Although we think of this as “summer,” it is technically still the last week of spring. I think we lucked out in May and so far in June, with somedrier and at times warmer than normal weather, which keeps everyone happy and the tourists flowing into town like water. Speaking of water,after a spike in temps late May, and a corresponding spike in snowmelt, we saw a subsequent spike in the river flows. Slightly cooler temps earlyJune have slowed the water flow, but not the tourists.

The Cool: We are also lucking out with only a couple of mornings when the mercury dipped below that magic 32 number in the valley. Thatmakes for happy gardeners, and hopefully a little longer growing season for the flowers and veggies. Cooler temps this weekend might be causefor some concern, but usually by this time of year we are out of the woods as far as hard freezes go.

The Hot: We are almost to mid-June and still waiting for that elusive, official 80-degree day. Not including car and bank thermometersaround town, we have not hit that mark yet, which is a bit unusual. What is really unusual is to get up to90 degrees this early in June. The only time that has happened was back in 1974, with a string of 90 de-gree-plus days, and the peak of that was a sweltering 92-degrees on June 15, 1974.

Props&DissesKowtowing in cowtown

This is Chinese to me. Maybe Bruce Simon can ex-plain it better. The Jackson Hole real estate agent created

a popup welcome center catering to Mandarin-speakingChinese visitors to Jackson Hole.

Really? Why?The biggest thing wrong with the notion that the People’s Republic

of China should get a dedicated sightseer shack plopped right thereat Glenwood and Mercill is that it’s the first step in a slippery slopetumble to altering the valley to fit the visitor.

The Chinese come here to see the American West, not Shanghai.The same goes for Italians, Japanese, and, yes, even Texans. We arejust one major forest fire from making a Beijing citizen feel like theyare in their hometown, but we needn’t change Jackson Hole to suitinternational tourists.

What’s next? More Chinese restaurants, dual-immersion Mandarinclasses, a Ming-Na museum and gallery, replacing our griz popula-tion with panda bears? Before we program our ATMs to spit out yuanon exchange, let’s get a grip. Second-home Californians have alreadyturned the valley into Orange County. We will ultimately be cherishedfor our fierce and rugged independence.

I’m not saying the Chinese should only be invited to the West tobuild our railroads and wash our clothes. I’m not proposing to builda second Great Wall of China. We just don’t need to rewrite Jacksonstop signs in Cantonese or swap apple pie for fortune cookies nomatter how many Chinese might come here to buy ice cream and realestate. And we already have a Ming Dynasty. It’s called eight yearsunder Mayor Barron’s reign.

Ancient Chinese secret: The Chinese aren’t visiting for our eggrolls. Give ‘em rodeo, Bar J Chuckwagon, and a whitewater trip downthe Snake – all in English –and they’ll go home happy.

Stupidity danger today: ExtremeBefore the Teton Interagency Fire website is even up

and running for the season, before firefighters from theBridger-Teton National Forest and Sublette County haveeven held their first training of 2014, and even while thebiggest threat in both the park and forest remains avalanche, someding dong lit Shadow Mountain on fire.

It’s going to be another challenging fire season (we dodged a bulletlast year) and the last thing hotshots need is collegiate whiz kids withnegligible outdoor survival skills using our national forests as a HolidayInn. Sure, housing is tough to pin down here in Shangri-La but it does-n’t have to mean renter/campers shut out by a tight housing marketshould be allowed to squat on public grounds and recklessly blazecampgrounds with nothing more than warm PBRs to put it out with.

B-T personnel in the Shadow Mountain area noted no less than 43unextinguished campfires last season. These are not the work ofrecreational campers, here on vacation with their 2.1 kids and requi-site maltese. RVers camp strictly in close proximity to toilets. Peoplewho start fires around Shadow Mountain are either partying highschoolers, partying hippies who act like they’re still in high school,and the 90-day wonders living in a two-man Coleman tent theybought yesterday at Sports Authority.

There’s an easy solution for the B-T. Reduce and actually enforcethe 16-day max for camping during the summer months of June, July,and August. This will keep popular areas like Curtis Canyon andShadow Mountain from turning into late-night communes, prone tosparking the Hole’s next nightmare. By fall, B-T can put the max backat 16 days for the camo crowd.

Digging up bones Congratulations to the Jackson Hole Historical Society

and Museum. Its Mercill Archaeology Center received a$10,350 shot-in-the-arm from online donors at In-

diegogo. Jackson native Matt Stirn

and his fiancé RebeccaSgouros hope to open theinformative center this sum-mer in the Coey Cabin onWest Mercill Avenue. Thecenter will offer interactivedisplays showing how earlyhumans eked out an existence in Jackson Hole before a town publicworks department and WyDot snowplows.

Stirn and Sgouros will staff the center with high school interns.Outside funding was also secured through grants and the coopera-tion of the Teton Literacy Center, the Center of Wonder and the East-ern Shoshone.

When Kelly Gneiting stompsinto the sumo ring, known as adohyo, he carries with him all theweight his massive frame willbear. At six feet tall and five feetaround, that’s about 435 poundsthese days. He also brings hours,months and years of training andpreparation. But most importantly,Gneiting, and wrestlers like himwho honor the sport’s rich tradi-tion, shoulders with him two mil-lennia of Shinto ritual that foundits feet sometime around the birthof Christ.

Casual sumo fans see only theshort bursts of brute force pliedby massive combatants in dia-pers. Bout times often are meas-ured with a second hand. Whatmost are not privy to, however, isthe pre-bout ceremony steeped intradition and the daily religiousreverence wrestlers have for theoldest of martial arts, born of theSamurai.

“I and [other wrestlers like me]are ambassadors for a sport thathas so much history that NFLfootball can’t touch it,” saysGneiting, a five-time U.S. heavy-weight champion. “We take pridein that. Sumo is a 2,000-year-oldmartial art that could be the oldestsport on the planet.”

Gneiting is once again organiz-ing a wrestling event in JacksonHole. He and other stars of thesport, like fellow American

wrestler Trent Sabo, return to thevalley for the third time with aWorld Championship qualifierevent taking place at Snow Kingon Saturday. Both Gneiting andSabo help spread interest in sumoin America, both having studied inJapan where they gained a respectfor the culture and ritual surround-ing the ancient art.

Turning Japanese

The powder clapping, the bow-ing and squatting, the thigh-slap-ping – what exactly is going onbefore two fat guys get it on?

“What you will see, culturally, iswrestlers bow to each other toshow respect,” Gneiting says.“This is a culturally significantbattle: man on man, or spirit onspirit. Picture two armies rushingat each other. What happens isyou end up pairing off with oneperson and you have a small spacein which to fight and kill that per-son. You give respect because in amatter of seconds one of us isgoing to die, symbolically, on thebattlefield. You squat facing eachother. You wash your hands toshow you are going to fight clean.You lift up your arms to show youare unarmed. You clap to wake thegods and let them know thatsumo is about to begin.”

Sabo adds, “The cultural signifi-cance is important. The symbolic

death is a little more than justsymbolic in Japan. A sumowrestler’s whole lifestyle is basedoff his sport. It’s 24-7. It’s men-tally taxing.”

According to Sabo, hierarchy iseverything, and the strict regimenof a sumo athlete in Japan defineshis daily routine. Lower-rankedgrapplers are treated with disdain,akin to buck privates relegated totoilet cleaning and catering tothose more honored. Win and youmove up the ranks to the pointwhere you are allowed a cellphone, driving privileges, or agirlfriend. Lose, well, grab a mopand feel shame.

“The only way you can move upor down in the ranks is throughwin-loss,” Sabo says. “It’s sup-posed to be very, very easy tolose. That pressure helps you sum-mon a superhuman performanceand give you laser focus.”

The stripped-down, mano ymano nature of sumo is the sameprimal urge that has appealed tothe men and women who partici-pate in and follow MMA fighting,which has exploded over the pastdecade. The confined space, thesimplicity and purity of the sport –there’s nowhere to hide in sumo.It’s fight or die.

“In the NFL, for example, itseems everyone is battling for per-sonal pride or to be the best,”Gneiting explains. “It’s completely

different in sumo. This is our life.It’s the David and Goliath story,where a [combatant] is chosen torepresent an entire people. Andwhen you are backed into a corneryou fight or die. You find thestrength of a dragon.”

Sumo sensation

Sumo today is enjoying a bit ofa resurgence in popularity evenafter bout-fixing scandals rockedthe sport a few years ago. Oncesolely a Japanese thing – it is thecountry’s unofficial national sport– 87 countries are now registeredwith the International Sumo Fed-eration.

Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia, andEastern European countries inparticular have embraced thesport. The international appealthreatens to erode the spiritualand cultural aspects of sumo – asport written in Kanji to mean“mutual bruising.”

“Sumo represents the essenceof what it means to be Japanese.It’s far more involved than whateven the international guys rec-ognize,” Sabo says. “There’s al-ways going to be a corruptionwith anything you introduce tothe world in the mainstream.Western cultures, for example,don’t put the same emphasis onthe spiritual connection.”

Gneiting says, “And things like

the wearing of the mawashi. Someathletes will have shorts on under-neath, some won’t. The Japanesewould think that is some corrup-tion. Trent and I never wore shortsbecause we want to keep intactthe cultural significance of sumo.”

Probably the most significantbastardization of sumo has comein the lack of respect and under-standing for the somber occasion.Losers are vanquished, killed, inessence, symbolically. Victors donot gloat. Stoicism is prized. Awin is cause for quiet humility.

“One of the main problems ininternational competition is wetend to celebrate too much,”Gneiting says. “The Japanese arealways telling us to stop celebrat-ing. There should be a humble-ness to victory.”

Rumble in the ring

Sumo should appeal to Westernfolk. Rodeo comparisons abound,with four to eight seconds of col-liding tonnage, a perfect storm ofmomentum and surrender. Butwhat appears to be nothing morethan brute force and cherishedmass has, in actuality, strategyand technique.

Bouts begin when both playerssquat and “knuckle down,” plac-ing both hands in the dirt.

“The practice squats and prac-tice touch, that’s what the pros

do. It builds more drama so we doit now, too, to be more like thepros,” Gneiting admits. “Whotouches first, that’s totally per-sonal preference. Sometimes bothathletes will want to put theirhands down first. I always like toput mine down first. As soon as Isee the other guy put his handsdown I charge.”

Sabo, who is almost always un-dersized in his matches, always en-ters the ring with a pre-game plan.

“I, like Kelly, like to get set first.I’m down and ready to go,” Sabosays. “If they are fooling around,waiting to put their hand downthey are likely still thinking of aplan. I already have one.”

And sumo has strategy. A forcein motion tends to stay in motion.Sabo likes to use that to his ad-vantage.

“Sumo is the most basic form ofwrestling,” Sabo explains. “Youstart on your feet and the idea isto take the opponent down to theground or out of bounds. You areallowed to use just about any

technique – foot sweeps, openpalm slaps, and a variety ofthrows. The fact that you canpush a person out to win adds acompletely different element. It’svery difficult for a smaller personto win in most forms of wrestlingbut when you add the element ofpushing a guy out, my agility cancome into play. You see a lot oflightweights do well againstheavyweights. They say there areinfinite ways to win.”

Pushing an opponent out ofthe ring for a victory was addedlater to the sport. Originally, itwas a tussle to see who couldmake their opponent touch theground with anything other thantheir feet.

When Gneiting and Sabo tan-gle, and they have on dozens ofoccasions, Gneiting usually comesout on top.

“Whenever I wrestle Trent, if Icome full bore at him, he will stepaside. He’s full of nifty tricks,”Gneiting divulges. “So I slowlystand up and react to any offense

he gives. Trent has beat me be-fore. When he does, to me, it’sdishonorable and embarrassing.”

Sabo wrestles a more reactivestyle. He studies his opponents,looking for telltale giveaways thatmight indicate what the mass ofman he’s up against may have inmind. “In my case, it comesdown to momentum,” he says.“I’ve got to get the bigger guymoving. As long as they aredoing something, I have some-thing to work with. I look at cer-tain things like how they step offthe line – right or left foot. If Iface a very stoic opponent, Imight try to booby trap a guy by[feigning] a move of my own andthen doing something different.”

Bouts are short. The longestever recorded was an eight-minutematch between two Mongolians,who prefer to grapple opponentsto the ground rather than shovethem out of the dohyo. Gneitingand Sabo say their most gruelingbouts have never gone more than30 or 40 seconds.

Thunder in the Hole

The tournament scheduled forJackson Hole will feature a di-verse group of sumo athletes,from several of the sport’s topnames to up-and-comers justlearning the ropes.

“This is our third time in Jack-son. Every year we’ve increasedthe number of athletes. We willset a record for the number of ath-letes competing this time from allover the country,” Gneiting says.“It’s unique to have a tournamentlike this in Jackson Hole. Maybeone day Jackson will get a reputa-tion as a place to sumo.”

Sabo says fans in Jackson canexpect several very large andpowerful athletes all tipping thescales at 400 pounds or more.

“I think people in Jackson willbe most surprised to see sumosort of flies in the face of thecouch potato that can’t do any-thing. We are athletes.

Gneiting, who calls himself the“Man of Fat Steel,” holds the dis-tinction of being the heaviest per-son to complete a marathon. Hehas ran three now and also istraining to swim the AnacapaChannel on July 8 in preparationto one day cross the EnglishChannel. Gneiting says he is theonly 400-plus grappler who can dothe matawari, or full splits (he didso for America’s Got Talent in2010, and you can see it onYouTube. Gneiting also can beglimpsed in the movie Oceans 13,where he plays one of the sumowrestlers fighting in a Vegasnightclub.

The 44-year-old married fatherof five is mostly retired now fromcompeting. He serves as an organ-izer and director of U.S. competi-tions, like the one to be held inJackson this weekend. Sabo is VPof the United States Sumo Federa-tion. Both men studied the martialart in Japan.

It’s a wrapThis should be the last we hear from Corey “Robin Hood” Don-

aldson for a while. The Australian bank thief who knocked off USBank in Jackson on New Year’s Eve 2012 was sentenced to fiveyears in prison last week. He wept at the news.

Donaldson shared with jurors his gift for storytelling, at onetime claiming, “America is not a place where Robin Hood getscondemned.” But it took a jury less than an hour to do just that.Donaldson will serve his time in a Folkston, Georgia, lockup.

We found the news in the Sydney Morning Herald, MSN, andThe Guardian.

...but she could buy Jackson Hole?New analysis from real estate brokerage gurus Redfin looked at

towns or cities that certain billionaires could buy … completely.The results were eye opening.

“The two things everybody talks about are rich people and realestate, so we thought it would be interesting to pair them,” saidNela Richardson, Redfin’s chief economist. “When someone’sworth $77 billion, you’re not talking about how much house theycan buy. You’re talking about how much city they can buy.”

For instance, according to Redfin, Mark Zuckerberg could onlyafford St. Paul at his paltry $26.8 billion. Bill Gates, meanwhile,could buy the city of Boston if he wanted – lock, stock, and barrel.And he might. If Jackson Hole-based Christy Walton decided togo house shopping, she could buy Gates’ Seattle home along withthe rest of the entire city – all 241,450 homes.

CNBC carried the news under the headline, “Billionaires whocould buy your town.”

Hockey time!It’s never too early to start thinking about next winter, and for

hockey fans, the news is promising.While not officially announced in Jackson, Sun Valley’s Idaho

Mountain Express reported a newly formed hockey league willtake shape for the 2014-15 season. The Black Diamond HockeyLeague will be anchored by four Senior “A” elite men’s teams –the Sun Valley Suns, Jackson Hole Moose, Park City Pioneers, andthe Bozeman Stingers. Geographically, the franchises form a dia-mond shape.

None of the teams has ever joined a league. The Suns began play-ing in 1974. The Moose started in 1997. Park City has been playingregularly since 2009 and the Stingers are the newest team. All teamswill be required to play home-and-home weekend games withevery opponent. A league championship tournament is scheduledfor March 14-15 at the Snow King Sports and Event Center.

Untrapped unveiledWyoming Untrapped has launched its new website. A creation

of Roger Hayden and Lisa Robertson, the group formed in Octo-ber 2012. The site provides basic information about wildlife trap-ping and some of the downsides of that business, along with howto stay safe in the backcountry with your pets.

Nature photographer Tom Mangelsen provided most of thestunning images. And yes, there are a few gruesome pics of ani-mals caught in traps.

Food will be the highlight of the ninthannual Jackson Crawfish Boil on Saturdayat the Snow King Ball field, but a diversemusical lineup also promises to deliverplenty of heat.

The event features five great bands in-cluding both local and national acts.Opening with John Wayne’s World, thetunes will carry through the evening untilafter the last mudbug is downed.

The Jackson Six, whose Dixieland soundpairs well with all things New Orleans, willbe next to hit the stage. One of the mostunique bands in the valley, the music is atrue representation of a second line expe-

rience and will put Jazz Fest fans back atthe Fairgrounds. The lineup includes JohnKidwell, Jason Fritts, Ben Winship, TedWells, Willie Boughton and Jason Baggett.

Following the Six on the outside stagewill be Bozeman’s antidote of funk, TheCure for the Common. The Cure has beentearing up the Montana club scene as wellas highlighting numerous regional festi-vals. The band brought the party to theMangy Moose back in March.

George Kilby Jr. is no stranger to theJackson area, though the talented musi-cian calls New York home. With a soundhe describes as being “rough-cut Ameri-can roots music,” Kilby’s approach tomusic is like a Cajun’s approach to craw-

fish: it takes more than one ingredient tomake something good. Kilby will bejoined by accordionist and friend NeilThomas, as well as Andy Calder (bass) andBaggett.

Rounding out the evening will be theever-rocking Andy Frasco and the UN.Frasco, complete with big hair, driving vo-cals, and a knack for the keys, hails fromCalifornia but the road could be this per-former’s domain. His newest album, Halfa Man, was released on June 3 and it flaw-lessly moves through his repertoire ofrhythm and blues and soul. Frasco andthe UN have been blowing up the TrapBar at Targhee over the past few years andwill no doubt deliver on Saturday.

N’awlins cuisine and roots-funk music are on tap for the ninth annual Jackson Crawfish Boil.

We have a funny relationship to thewild these days in Jackson Hole. On theone hand, wilderness is the reason mostof us live here. We want to be close to na-ture, away from urbanization. The back-country, unpredictable weather, rampantnatural beauty and wild animals inspireus in our backyards.

Yet we are not, as a people, particularlywild. Our politics are moderate, our cloth-ing is practical, our art is safe and prettyand our taste in music is predictable. Wild-ness, in terms of culture, is confined todrinking too much on a Saturday night.Sure, a few individuals risk their necks pur-suing athletic achievements. But as a cul-ture, Jackson Hole tends toward the tepid.

There’s nothing inherently wrong witha nice, wholesome, not particularly wildculture. However, I find the disparity be-tween culture and environment here tobe perplexing, given our proximity to andproclaimed passion for all things wild.I’m hopeful this month will offer us all anopportunity to examine that disconnectas this week kicks off the inaugural year ofthe Jackson Hole Wild Festival. Two weeksof activities provide a chance to reflect onthe role of wildness in our lives.

At first glance, the Wild Festival seemsto be a means of corralling several sum-mer festivals and events into a cohesivewhole. The Raptor Fest, the Plein Air Fest,JH Mountain Games, and activities from

the former Fire Festival now all fall underthe Wild Festival’s umbrella.

Cohesion will likely be elusive this firsttime around. Not unlike taming wildhorses – or headstrong Jackson creativeand entrepreneurial types – many festivalparticipants remain intent on doing theirown thing. How raptor science, the dis-ease ALS, bat conservation, puppet mak-ing, summer solstice, fashion, ClintEastwood, and paragliding all fit underthe same umbrella is indeed a wild con-cept. However, let’s go with it. The WildFestival exquisitely encapsulates the full-bore, chaotic energy of Jackson in thesummertime.

I want to highlight two events in theWild Festival, because to me they seem tobest fit the theme of the festival and arenew events. Plus, the art looks like it willbe really cool.

On June 19, check out the Nature’sBeauty Competition at Center for the Arts.Cindee George has organized a flock ofartistic teams to adorn models with na-ture-inspired costumes and make-up.This is a time-based competition. Theteams begin work at 4 p.m. The public canwatch the beauties evolve and enjoy foodand drinks from the Picas Taco Truck be-ginning at 5 p.m. At 6 p.m., teams must beready to send their models down the run-way. Judges (including yours truly) will se-lect the winners in four categories: BestUse of Natural Materials, Judges’ Choice,People’s Choice, and Best Under 18 Cre-

ation. Rocky Vertone will DJ.On June 20 take part in Steamroller

Printmaking outside Teton Artlab’s BuzzShop from 4 to 7 p.m. The Buzz Shop islocated on Jackson Street between Pearland Simpson. Ten Jackson artists havecarved a slice of the natural world into afour-by-eight-foot sheet of plywood.With the public’s assistance, paint willbe applied and fabric draped over theimage. Then get out of the way for thesteamroller. After the roller presses thepaint into the carved lines of the image,the fabric will be lifted to reveal a printextraordinaire. The eight-foot prints willbe hung from the roof to dry and on Sat-urday carried in the Species Parade. Bid-ding on the prints begins at $300.

Wild Festival organizer Marylee Whitesaid the “Wild” theme was chosen be-cause it is the one thing that connectseveryone in our community. “We all wantthat feeling of the wild, where it feelsfrontier-like,” White said.

I’d ask readers and festival attendees toconsider these questions about the inter-face of wild nature and wild community:What is your frontier? What do you valueabout wildness? What’s the most reward-ing wild thing you’ve ever done? Do youappreciate other people’s wildness? Howcan you bring your love of the wild intothe human community?

Natural Medicine with Dr. Monique

Dam good river movieBy Robyn Vincent

The story of the Teton River Dam – which failed upon completion in 1976, releas-ing the contents of its reservoir, killing 11 people and causing millions of dollars indamage – may be enough to discourage some from revisiting the idea. But withproposals on the table for a second Teton River Dam in the same location, as wellas dams in other robust ecosystems throughout the country, the film DamNationunleashes a flurry of timely dialogue.

Weaved into America’s landscape for the past hundred years, dams have come tosymbolize engineering prowess but more recently, a wilting American philosophy.

“It’s a generational issue. There is a younger generation that is truly passionateabout restoring rivers and an older generation that grew up when there was a lot ofnational pride about conquering rivers,” explained Travis Rummel, co-director ofDamNation.

While dams promise societal benefits such as renewable energy, irrigation, waterstorage and flood control, the environmental impacts can be calamitous. Todaythere are more than 80,000 dams greater than six feet in the United States, accord-ing to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

A dizzying list of environmental repercussions, gathered by the nonprofitAmerican Rivers, includes: reduced river levels; the prevented flow of plants andnutrients; impeded migration of fish and other wildlife, and blocked recreationaluse; slower river flows that disorient fish and affect migration; a change in watertemperature; water flow fluctuation between no water and powerful surges,which erode vegetation; dam turbines hurting or killing fish; dam reservoirs in-creasing predator risk and the list goes on.

While environmental problems associated with dams are vast, Rummel saysthere is a growing movement, captured in the film, that offers a viable solution.

“People think about the environment as a huge issue that they can’t do anythingabout,” Rummel said. “But dam removal does make a difference. These areaswhere dams are removed are very resilient and the fish come back quickly, evenafter 100 years of displacement.”

Chronicling the river renegades involved with the effort to remove dams is justone way Rummel and co-director Ben Knight, of Felt Soul Media, manage to hu-manize DamNation. There are powerful segments featuring a Nez Perce elder, ariver keeper who has manned his post 12 hours a day for the last 13 years and oneof the last people, now 94, to experience Glen Canyon before a dam was con-structed there.

The people behind the cameras also share intimate relationships with rivers.Rummel worked as a fly-fishing and rafting guide in Telluride, Colo and producer/photographer Matt Stoecker’s childhood memories provided inspiration for themovie: “As a teenager, I watched in amazement as steelhead trout the size of myarm jumped five feet out of the water, soared head first into Stanford University’s

Searsville Dam, then bounced off the concrete in defeat,” Stoecker said. “Forover a century this unneeded dam has blocked these magnificent sea-run fish fromreturning home to spawn in the creek I grew up beside. I recognized that first daythe destructive power of a single dam over an entire watershed. Since that day, twodecades ago, I’ve dedicated my life to restoring free-flowing rivers.”

Rounding out the group of activist filmmakers is Patagonia founder YvonChouinard as executive producer.

Film screening of DamNation, 7 and 9:30 p.m., on Friday at Center for the Arts.Filmmakers, including Yvon Chouinard, will be in attendance for a Q&A sessionafter the film. $17 tickets benefit area nonprofits.

Food factors: allergies or intolerance?By Monique Lai

Today people are becoming more and more awareof the effects food has on their bodies.

I discovered this relationship for the first timewhen I visited my Uncle John, a naturopathic physi-cian and chiropractor in Melbourne, Australia, 27years ago. I fell right into his way of life, including hisdiet. We ate muffins made of millet, buckwheat, flaxseeds, apples and currants. Dinner was a skinless or-ganic chicken and a salad of beets, carrots and ap-ples. Coming from my ski town bartending job andliving on bar food, it was a comprehensive shock tothe system.

His diet was gluten, dairy and chemical free. I feltfine upon arriving in Australia, but after detoxing onthis type of diet for two weeks I realized how tired Ihad been, even at the age of 21. Now I had energy! Afew years later, I was in naturopathic medical schoolmyself.

Food allergies are different from food sensitivity orintolerances, which causes understandable confu-sion. One of the first things to know is that our bod-ies have a variety of immunological reactions. Anallergic reaction is usually immediate and happenswithin a few hours of ingesting the offensive food.This is mediated by IgE (immunoglobulin E), usuallycausing anaphylaxis or hives. Shellfish, peanuts, beestings and the like are often associated with this reac-tion. This is best tested at the allergist’s office via theintradermal “pinprick” method.

Many individuals are not having symptoms as se-vere as anaphylactic and/or allergic reactions, butdon’t feel well when they eat certain foods. This isfood intolerance or food sensitivity. The symptomscan include sinusitis, rhinitis, digestive disturbance,acne, eczema, headaches and many more. The goldstandard in finding out which food is responsible forthese adverse reactions is the elimination-reintroduc-tion diet. This is when you eliminate specific foods fora period of two to three weeks and then reintroducefood one at a time to see if there is a reaction.

The elimination-reintroduction method is timeconsuming, so people often opt for an IgG blood test(immunoglobulin G) or the lymphocyte responseassay (LRA) by ELISA/ACT test to evaluate the body’sresponse to food. While the IgG test has been contro-versial in the scientific community, it has proven tobe clinically effective for my patients during my 18years of practice. I use the LRA test specifically for in-flammation and autoimmune disease.

Is it always the food or is it another factor? Let’stake a slice of bread for instance. We may be sensi-tive to the wheat, but the culprit could be the yeast,a preservative or coloring in the bread. Is it thefood, or is it because our body has an enzyme defi-ciency (lactose intolerance), bacterial or yeast over-growth, psychological factors and/or celiacdisease? There are many variables responsible forhealth and therefore there are many variables re-sponsible for disease and discomfort.

Why are our bodies more reactive? There are

many variables that could be contributing to the in-creased reactivity. The most prevalent one is knownas the Hygiene Hypothesis. The Hygiene Hypothesisstates that excessive cleanliness interrupts the nor-mal development of the immune system, and thischange leads to an increase in allergies. You oftenhear the Hygiene Hypothesis referenced in discus-sions of the overuse of anti-bacterial soaps and lo-tion. We just may be too clean!

Increased intestinal permeability could also makeus more reactive to food. This refers to damage of theintestinal wall allowing undesirable substances likebacteria and undigested proteins and fat to enter theblood stream and create an inflammatory reaction.

We can feel better by finding out which foodscause a reaction in our body and decreasing theburden. This can be done with a diet far less restric-tive than my Uncle John’s. We can build up thebody’s immune system with supplements like pro-biotics that will help “beef up” our microbiome. Wecan even heal the lining of the digestive tract withantioxidants, mucosal nutrients, digestive en-zymes, probiotics and dietary fiber.

Our bodies will heal. We just have to provide theright environment.

Monique Lai, ND, is an alternative health expert. At her Jackson Hole family practice, she works with

patients to restore their health. Dr. Monique ob-tained her doctorate in naturopathic medicine fromSouthwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1996and has been in the valley for 14 years.

On a cold and misty day many years ago, some Irish monkssailed away in their little boat to see what they could see. Theysailed until they came to an island and when they hopped out tolook at it they discovered they had not landed on an island but onthe back of a whale. I’m sure they were surprised and even inter-ested, but I doubt it was what they had in mind.

I bring this up because I think that “not what they had in mind”is the human condition. We spend our lives looking for a wonder-ful island when in fact we are hanging on the back of a whale,hoping he won’t submerge or we won’t wind up in his big bellylike Jonah and Pinocchio, not that they were there at the sametime or had the same decorator. It sure was dark in there, though.

I thought it might be instructive to point out what people ex-pect and what they actually get, which is not what they deserve. I

will start with men because they always want the same thing. What men wantWho cares what they want. In our day we were supposed to stay

home, do it all and be perfect. We heard a lot about the male ego,apparently it was precious and fragile and heaven forbid anythinghappened to it.

What men gotUs. When we got tired of being the little cardboard cutout

woman, they all panicked. What women want

Once upon a time we all went to college to get our Mrs. Degree.You could be a nurse or a teacher, but no one wanted to workafter marriage. Why would you want to? Our lives would be per-fect if we were married. Boy, were we wrong.

What women gotThem. And a new set of ideas. What you’re going to get
