Dr. Jameth Sheridan interviews Charlotte Gerson

I am back!

The last few years have been difficult confusing years for me. My Brother and Mom passed away, so i have been spending time with my dad to teach him how to exercise and eat healthier. He goes to the gym everyday now but he doesn't understand my vegetarian diet. He asks "How do i stay strong and alive without eating meat?" It took many years to figure out, as there is so much misinformation. I learned what I know from traveling and then reading "The Gerson Therapy" the most important book, some of Paul Bragg's books and recently the Longevity Diet by Valter Longo and Food Pharmacy.

 After I read the Gerson Therapy I no longer get sick, I know how to take care of myself now.

My diet is flexible which helps avoid the stress of trying to be perfect.

I mainly try to avoid salt, processed food, chemicals.

Never use a microwave

In the morning I eat an Orange, I make a smoothie with Banana, Acai, Kale, Ginger, distilled water and occasionally I add silica or diatomaceous earth with apple cider vinegar, Turmeric, pepper, Lemon, Chia seeds, Cacao nibs, Terramin minerals. ( depends on what i am making, will post smoothie formulas in near future)

Early Lunch I have been eating is Red Onions, Mushrooms, Spinach and 2 scrambled  Eggs cooked with Olive oil on one slice of Sourdough toast or no toast.

Late Lunch smoothie Banana, Acai, Spinach, Beets, oats, distilled water and sometime I add avocado

Dinner Salad Various Lettuces, Cabbage, Carrots, Radishes, Avocado, Red Onion, Flax and  Olive oil, Lemon Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar

I occasionally take some Liposomal Vitamins

I am recently purchased whole grain Sorghum to try

I eat other vegetables and fruits too. The type of veggies you can eat raw or slightly steamed.
Sometimes i eat macadamia nuts and walnuts.

Cooking destroys the enzymes in food. The body needs those enzymes to help digest food.

As I said earlier my diet is flexible. No Stress. So if I am at a great restaurant or traveling in Europe or Iceland I may taste some Salmon or Chicken. I usually cook at home so not often.

2011 has been a year of transformation. My vacations to Brazil have taught me how to be energy efficient and I have applied those lessons to my business. As of today we have reduced our energy usage by 50% from 1 year ago. With the help of my contractor, I have redesigned the salon. The salon is now an Art Gallery, Salon and Spa treatments coming soon. Feel free to call and ask about our  monthly Art parties to help support emerging artists.

Rip Van Winkle deuxième partie

To awaken your body and senses one needs proper nutrition, exercise and less stress. In March 2010 I reached a low point in health and strength and decided to make changes. I had a herniated disk, sciatica, pain shooting down my leg. It hurt to stand sit and lay down, I was in bed for at least a week. I started to go to two chiropractors and listened to friends and read as much info on sciatica as possible. I learned you need blood flow and collagen to heal this. So I continued to go to the chiropractors and do stretching exercises everyday. I recalled what a good friend once told me, her mothers arthritis pain was eliminated with eidon liquid silica. Silica builds collagen in the body! I started to take 3 tablespoons per day. In May I began to feel better I started hiking and started doing the P90X workout. I could barely do any pushups. In August I started taking a new protein powder from www.sunwarrior.com; I completed this three month workout by October and began going to the gym. In October, I learned of some new anti aging vitamins called Vitality. I have been taking these vitamins everyday for 3 months now. In November I spent ten days in Brazil working out everyday drinking fresh coconut water and organic grape juice. I now am almost as strong as I was in my 20's. I have never been able to increase my strength so fast! I am benching 200lbs and curling 40 . I am a vegetarian and I am awake and ready for 2011.

Peter Louis Salon has extended it's lease for 5 more years!

Signing a new lease is exciting as long as you have a goal to focus on. As many of you know we are making changes to the Peter Louis Salon. Within the next 30 days, the salon will finally have a warm cohesive energy efficient design.

The Assistant Program, how to tip and things that confuse me.

When an assistant helps me with a Japanese Straightening, I always give my assistant 30% of the total amount tipped, if there is a second assistant shampooing she/he gets 10%
The assistants also get paid by the hour between $8 to $10 per hour.
Peter Louis Salon Assistants earn better total daily tips now than 11 years ago when I only cut hair. When I cut hair I would get a 20% tip and my assistant would get $3 to $5 for the shampoo.

As my assistant is trained she/he is allowed to help with more aspects of the straightening process until she/he becomes a full stylist. This takes about 3 years or less.

If an assistant ever tells you a far fetched story please tell me. I recently fired an assistant. I like to give people a chance to succeed. But this assistant also began to lie to clients about her compensation to solicit a greater tip. Please speak to me, don't believe everything you hear.

When I go to a doctors office I never ask the receptionist or assistant for Medical Advice I ask the Dr. At the salon I notice clients asking the receptionist and the assistants for hair advice. If the receptionist or assistant could properly answer these questions they would be your Colorist or Stylist not the assistant or receptionist. Please direct your hair questions to the Stylist or Colorist that you came to see.

I am easy to talk to, if anyone has questions about anything please ask me.

But I ain’t one to gossip, so you didn’t hear that from me

Benita was one of my favorite characters on that 90's tv show "In Living Color"

Benita would sit in her rocking chair and say nice things to the people who would pass by and once they were gone spill all the angry gossip about that person.

Everyone has a Benita in there lives. If you know one avoid their calls you don't need the negativity. If you work with one, well that is a problem like a disease it can infect everyone at work. 

How do you diagnose the symptoms of having a Benita:

1. Benita is really nice to you.
2. Benita asks you many personal questions like a friend would.
3. Benita tells you some gossip, if you take the bait she embellishes and tells you more.
4. Benita will make up gossip to make herself look good.
5. Benita will make up gossip to make others around her look bad.
6. Benita will tell gossip about you to your fellow employees.
7. Benita will try to turn the employees against each other.
8. If you don't help Benita steal she will try to get you fired. How?
9. If your job is to clean she will tell you not to, then complain to the Boss about uncleanliness.
10. Benita will even complain to her clients about the uncleanliness of her space.
11. Benita will take things without asking or paying the actual cost of the item.
12. Benita will do her whole family in your salon without offering to pay the cost of color.

If you have a Benita growing in your salon or workspace. You will have to decide if you want to remove the cancer with surgery or heal it using a holistic approach. 

Remember the bigger your Benita gets the more painful it will be to remove, but you and your staff will feel much better and happier. You could even make Benita's clients happy too by giving them 50% off all services.

If you realize you yourself are becoming a Benita take some yoga classes, meditate and change!

Rip Van Winkle

I have been asleep for about two years. I dreamed I sold my business moved to South America with my girlfriend and became  a stock and commodities trader. Today I suddenly awoke and went to the gym at 5am. I am weak, but I will be strong again.  While on the elliptical machine, I repeated to myself "I am a creative businessman and hairstylist; I do this one thing well;  I can't do anything else."  I realize it is important in life to find the thing you do best and focus.
I am lucky to have built a strong business to withstand my Rip Van Winkle years and the financial collapse.
