We greatly appreciate you letting us help in your quest for ultimate health. Thank you also referring your friends and family too!

SASHA’S WORLD

I goed trick-or-treating with Sean, my boyfriend.
I ate one candy at his house.
I was the Butterfly Princess.
Next year I am going to be Snow White with a crown. And I am going to see Sean again. And we will go trick-or treat again.

ACUPUNCTURE DURING PREGNANCY (part 2)

The best thing to do when pregnant is to get regular acupuncture treatments from start of the conception to the delivery and beyond.

Acupuncture can reduce low back pain and nausea, boost the immune system, etc. It can also assure the mother and the baby of a safe pregnancy … See the testimonial on the next page.

With regular treatments most of the complaints women have during pregnancy are abated before they even begin.

And on top of that, there is “the beautiful baby point” to be used on the mother during the entire pregnancy. You cannot go wrong with that! They believe that stimulating that point will make the baby even more attractive. I have not seen a mother who did not want that 🙂

Once delivery comes. There are Chinese herbal formulas to restore the health of the mother’s organs. There are also herbs for the baby to take to expel all the bile built up in their system through the bowels (this will make a baby less likely to develop jaundice and some childhood skin conditions like eczema).
HEALTH MATTERS!!! Do you think anti-bacterial is good for you?

Wherever you go nowadays you see anti-bacterial cleansers (soaps) everywhere.
Not many people know that they may pose risk to your health and the health of your loved ones.
For one, they do not protect you against the viruses. Some state that they kill bacteria similar to regular soap and warm water.
But there is more than that: a recent report found that 2 active ingredients (triclocarban & triclosan) used in anti-bacterial personal hygiene products may pose health risks. Scientists found that the first chemical disrupts reproductive hormone activity, which could potentially affect your child’s fertility and other hormone-dependent processes like puberty onset. Other findings show that the second chemical interferes signals in brain and heart cells.

These inexpensive chemicals have accumulated in the environment over the years and are increasingly detected in human breast milk and urine.

Also, remember that we have good and bad bacteria on our hands. A person will stay healthy as long as good bacteria prevails. Anti-bacterial soaps kill both, leaving you exposed and unprotected.

We found a wonderful soap that we are using at home and in our center, ask us if you are interested to find out what it is.
Healthy Recipe of the Month:
Baked Sweet Potatoes with Ginger & Honey

Ingredients:
3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
2. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes, honey, ginger, walnut oil, cardamom, and pepper. Transfer to a large cast iron frying pan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir the potatoes to expose the pieces from the bottom of the pan. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized on the outside.

If you are not used to ginger taste, feel free to reduce the amount of ginger as it will give strong ginger flavor. If you love it, then you can increase the amount. Walnut oil can be substituted by olive oil. This amount of honey will add just a little of sweetness, it can be increased if you would like it sweeter.

Let us know how you liked it!
FROM A PATIENT IN THEIR OWN WORDS …
“Edmund, I just wanted thank you again for your assistance in my fertility journey… here is a picture of my twins!!

Denise Calkins” (email from a patient)

As you recall from last months’ testimonial. Denise ended up having twin girls. We placed their picture in the hard copy of the newsletter we forwarded you by mail. Aren’t they adorable?!

Statically speaking, acupuncture improves pregnancy success rate by 50% in women undergoing IVF.

That is an incredible increase!!!

PETS RULE!!!

Meow. That’s feline speak for “hey!” My name is Mishka and I am the neighbor friend of Edmund and Natalia.

One day I overheard them discussing with my daddy and mommy what they would write in their next newsletter and I offered my help. I am sure everybody on the other end would enjoy to find out how the cats live and what interests them in life. My life is extremely hectic. Everybody wants to play with me or pat me or just snuggle. They never asked what the cats like the most-dish full of food, water and enough beauty sleep.

You see, I need 19 hours of sleep a day or I become cranky.
Plus, the hot temperatures lately are making me very tired. People, I need air-conditioning when it is above 70F!

Till next time! Purringly yours,

Mishka

Thank you for your loyalty and trust. Happy Thanksgiving again!

Sincerely,

Edmund Erickson, L. Ac.

The Knot Stop – Healing Massage

The Knot Stop – Healing Massage

Adam Shevel – The Knotstop
Massage therapy and stress management

Everyday it seems a new study is reported in the press or medical journals relating stress to one disease or another. Some physicians suggest that stress may be responsible for 80% of all diseases in the Western world including skin diseases (e.g., psoriasis and eczema), headaches and migraine, digestive disorders, high blood pressure and heart-related diseases, as well as back-ache and muscle pain, poor eyesight and depression.
As the world in which we live becomes increasingly stressful both physically and emotionally we are left with two choices; either we avoid stress, or we learn how to deal with it effectively. It is, of course, impossible to avoid stress, and therefore the only real solution is to find ways to manage the stresses and strains we encounter each day. One way is the use of massage therapy
Massage is one of the oldest known and practiced healing techniques on the planet. Texts date back to 3,000 BC with reference to massage in China. It is more than a nice “luxury”, and Americans are beginning to realize what European and Asian cultures have for decades – that massage is an effective component of a healthy lifestyle. It is the reason why massage therapy is recognized and included in these countries’ medical systems.
Massaging the skin, the body’s largest organ, sets up a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and systems of the body. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, and is very effective for relieving back, neck and muscular pain. However, one of the most effective uses for massage is for stress relief and anxiety. Massage reacts directly on the body’s central nervous system which is why people feel so relaxed and calm after a massage. There are numerous research studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of massage in relation to the physiological and psycho-neurological aspects of stress.
One study at the University of Miami School of Medicine, Florida showed a 50% decrease in anxiety, and cortisol (stress hormone) levels in subjects who received regular massage. Another surprising effect of massage therapy that has been observed again and again in research is an increase in job performance and mental alertness. Like exercise, massage reduces fatigue, and increases mental clarity.
When should you NOT get a massage?
o Pregnant (During 1st Trimester ONLY) – Excellent & very beneficial thereafter.
o After, or during alcohol consumption
o Sick or on certain medications (Vicadin, Strong blood thinners etc.)
o Directly after an injury, surgery or car accident
If you have never had a massage before, it is suggested that you start with a Swedish or “Circulatory” massage which is a more relaxing, lighter touch massage designed to promote relaxation and tension relief.
Truly, massage is more than a luxury–it can be a strong ally in our self-care and feeling better that has a positive ripple effect on how we work, play, and care for others.

Dr. Craft – Is your Pet in Pain?

Dr. Craft – Is your Pet in Pain?

IS YOUR PET IN PAIN
And you don’t realize it?

I have no doubt that there is no one reading this that would knowingly allow their pet to exist in a painful condition without doing all they could to help them. We don’t like pain—and neither do our beloved pets, my friends. However, in some minds there is a huge disconnect—maybe due to the “language barrier” that exists, or maybe just because we never really focused on how we might know our pet is experiencing pain.
We have all experienced pain. I had partial knee replacement 3 years ago. I knew one kind of pain when I tore my ACL when I was 21, another kind of pain as I became increasingly arthritic, and another kind of pain in the weeks and months after surgery. Fortunately, now I have only minor pain in that knee. Some of you suffer from other kinds of pain—such as migraine headaches that are debilitating or chronic back pain from disk disease and pinched nerves. When we hurt we do what? Verbally complain and seek out solutions to relieve the pain so that life is more enjoyable. What do animals do about pain? Do they feel pain like you and I? How do they express to you that they hurt? This is what I hope to address in this brief article, and I hope your pet benefits greatly from it in the future.
PAIN has been defined as “an aversive sensory and emotional experience (a perception) which elicits protective motor actions, results in learned avoidance, and may modify species-specific traits of behavior, including social behavior.” (Kitchell, 1987) Others have described it as “an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.” (Tilley & Smith, 2007) More simply—it hurts!! And when something hurts it changes a pet’s countenance, behavior, physiology, and actions. We just have to learn to read the non-verbal. As a veterinarian, I know none of you will let your pet cry out in pain without getting on the phone with us quickly or bringing them in. But nonetheless, every day I see pets that are in pain, have been in pain, and the client, who loves the pet dearly, had no idea they were hurting. To some extent, as a pet doctor, I have learned to read facial expressions and know when a pet hurts. But so often, a pet has “learned to live with the pain” as it came on subtly and you would not know they hurt unless you are looking for it. Pets often “bite the bullet” or simply accept what life gives them. They are perhaps less “cerebral” about the pain than we are, but they feel pain just like we do. Now that scientists can measure what we call mu and other tissue chemicals and neurochemical responses we know that for a fact. We humans, due to our increased verbal skills and a tremendous sense of entitlement (that we should not have to hurt) are less apt to just live with the pain. We also know we most often don’t have to. “Felix” and “Jasper” weren’t given that info with their pet papers.
Most clinical pain is either inflammatory pain or neuropathic pain. Tissue damage or inflammation produces pain through stimulation of receptors that are sensitive to mechanical, thermal, or chemical stimuli. Neuropathic pain results from injury to nerve tissue. The most obvious pain pets experience is trauma involving either of the above. But the more subtle pain comes from degenerative processes like arthritis, tendon and ligament damage, cancer, or chronic inflammatory disease like lupus or myositis or rheumatoid conditions. I would have to say one of the most common pain that is missed by pet owners is DENTAL PAIN. Folks may smell the bad breath, but they often don’t associate it with tooth abscesses and cavities—and the pain that goes with it. I have actually unwittingly offended a client by emphasizing the pain factor involved with the FORLs (cavities cats get) her cat had too strongly and making her feel guilty. She had no clue her beloved cat was in pain and quickly identified with it deeply. Pets usually “live with” dental pain without being able to let their owners know. If they have arthritis, you see the lameness. If you watch very closely, you MIGHT see them only chewing on one side—until both sides hurt equally and they no longer do. The impetus to eat outweighs the experience of pain—and they eat. Always make sure your veterinarian examines your pet’s mouth very, very closely at every visit, and be quick to have issues addressed.
Other signs you can watch for that tells you your pet is hurting are vocalization (grunts and moans, whimpers), agitation, abnormal posture or gait, thrashing, being overly sensitive to touch or oversensitive to stimuli that would not normally cause pain. More subtle signs include trembling, depression, reduced appetite, stupor, and biting (not so subtle, but perhaps misconstrued). Others are rapid breathing, increased heart rate, dilated pupils and an anxious look. Long term pain might be very difficult as the pet may compensate so well, but might be less active or depressed—and mistaken for “just getting old”.
My profession for many decades was not on top of the pain management. In the last 10 years that has changed drastically. There is no room left this month, but I will follow next month with details of the many options we now have to keep our pets pain-free (as much as possible), healthy, active, and happy.

AVPS Awarded $1,000 from Target

Target grant awarded to Police Services for its PALS

Aliso Viejo Police Services has been awarded a $1,000 grant from Target through a program designed to assist law enforcement agencies.

The grant money will help the department purchase a laptop for its newly established Aliso Viejo Police Assistance Liaison Services (PALS) program. The volunteer program, which began earlier this year, is designed to assist police services with everything from vacation-home checks, and bicycle and pedestrian safety presentations to Neighborhood and Business Watch Programs and help with special events.

“Police services has been working with Target’s loss-prevention crew and manager for quite some time now, and we have a real solid relationship with them,” said Lt. Rich Paddock, chief of Police Services.

This is the second grant the Aliso Viejo-based Target has awarded police services through its Law Enforcement Grant Program. Target established the program in 1990 to support criminal justice agencies working to make communities safer. Since its inception, the Law Enforcement Grant Program has awarded millions of dollars to local law enforcement.

Paddock said a new laptop for the PALS will help streamline clerical and other tracking duties.

LDS Church Donates Fruit from Bumper Crop – Huntsman Awarded Medal of Honor from the Cancer Society

Church Donates Fruit to U.S. Food Pantries

There has been so much negative press about Mormons in the News, we feel that it is time that the media should take the time and write about Mormons in a positive light. The ALNews recognizes that there are hundreds of dedicated LDS members that live in this area. Here is an article from their LDS.org website which explains part of their welfare policies and a profile on LDS Industrialist Jon Huntsman who was awarded a Medal Of Honor from the Cancer Society.

LDS.org
11/20/2008 01:56 PM MST

Peaches and apricots from Utah’s 2008 abundant crop have been delivered to people in need throughout the United States.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints experienced a bumper peach crop this year from its orchards in northern and southern Utah, according to Peter Evans, Welfare Services.

“Our two orchards were tended by volunteers over the summer, and then people from our local Church congregations picked over one million pounds of peaches during August and September. Members canned the peaches at Church canneries in the southern Utah city of St. George and Lindon, in central Utah. This harvest greatly exceeded our expectations and will allow the Church to make a significant donation to food banks and assistance ministries around the country.”

The canned fruit was loaded into 18 semi-trucks and delivered to food pantries and Church storehouses in Georgia, Illinois, Colorado, Texas, Washington, Florida and Pennsylvania. Two semi-truck loads of peaches and apricots were also delivered to the Utah Food Bank.

Assisting others is a basic tenet of the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Do unto others,” said Evans. “We recognize the current economic turndown has affected people everywhere, and we’re grateful to share with food banks and other frontline agencies in their tremendous efforts to help people and communities in need.”

One of the shipments arrived in Illinois, where six public agencies were waiting. Phyllis Gertney of the Palatine Township Food Pantry said, “We are currently assisting 220 families each month, and that number is rising all the time.” She went on to say: “This is great — wonderful — especially in these economically difficult times. And we really like to try and offer the families nutritious options, so this donation is especially welcome.”

Bruce Gardner, bishop of the Elgin 3rd Ward in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, stated, “For me personally I was amazed to see the need that exists so close to home and so grateful that we have a program and the ability to help.”

“Fruit is always a popular commodity in our food pantry,” said Carole Little, President and CEO of Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) in Houston, Texas. “We are pleased to be able to offer healthy, balanced food items to families in need. We are so grateful for this generous gift of peaches and apricots. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always been such a good neighbor to NAM.”

The Church operates storehouses of food and other commodities, canneries, employment centers, storage and distribution facilities, and thrift stores throughout the world so that it can assist with short- and long-term needs.

Huntsman receives Medal of Honor in fight against cancer
Published: Friday, Nov. 21, 2008 9:02 a.m. MST
–
The American Cancer Society is presenting its highest award, the Medal of Honor, to four Americans who have contributed to the fight against cancer, including Utah philanthropist and businessman Jon M. Huntsman.
He was honored in the category of philanthropy. The other honorees include Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., for cancer control; Mina J. Bissell, distinguished scientist at the Life Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and on the faculty of University of California Berkeley, for basic research; and Susan Band Horowitz, distinguished professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York, for clinical research.

Huntsman, founder and chairman of Huntsman Corporation, a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals, was honored for cancer philanthropy. He and his wife, Karen, have raised or personally contributed more than $600 million to the fight against cancer. They donated more than $100 million to establish the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. In 2000, the Huntsmans and their children pledged another $125 million to fund ongoing cancer research and to build a cancer research hospital. Recently, they announced they will raise or donate another $125 million toward completion of an expansion project that will double the size of the Huntsman Cancer Hospital.
