Page A-2—Seniors Today—July 6, 2012

Coming up this year is a birthdayI never anticipated. My familywants to honor me but theyknew it wouldn’t be good to

surprise me. Why? Because I’m not as oldas my age! We decided on an un-birthdaycelebration. The family from Georgia (allwho can come) are renting a condo on thebeach… a place with five swimming pools.I suspect we will be spending a lot of timethere. With that in mind, I have been spend-ing time recalling my life experiences, withgratitude that we weren’t faced with someof the things young people face today.

I remember the heavy wooden one-lanebridge that was always scary to cross. Fromabout 5-years-old I would feel my heartskip a beat when driven to Hickory Tree byGrandma and Pap. They made weekly tripsinto town for shopping and often took mehome with them. I loved being with mygrandparents but always dreaded crossingthe old bridge.

Each time the bridge came into view, Paphad to blow the horn to alert anyone on theother side that he was about to cross. Atthe end of the one-way-at-a-time bridgewas a church on a hill. I focused on lookingat the beautiful church and it helped me.Once we crossed the bridge, my peace ofmind was restored and my heart quit racing.

Having faced the church and crossedover the bridge, Pap would take a leftturn on the bowl-shaped road to theircountry home. I couldn’t express it thenbut riding alongside the deep green waterwith its smooth, sparkling river rocks peek-ing through, creating waterfalls, I had thefeeling of traveling back in time. I imag-ined passing little Will, a boy in his over-alls, fishing all alone with only his muttof a dog keeping him company.

Visiting in the country where it wasextremely quiet, Pap would entertain mewith magic tricks or challenge me to a gameof checkers. I always appreciated the factthat Pap played to win, because even as alittle girl, it would have insulted me if helet me win. I always recognized when some-one was just trying to be nice and let mewin and that was no fun.

Grandma would take me to the wellwhere the milk was kept cold; she’d takeme berry picking or to the garden to gatherpole beans or other veggies. We’d take thepole beans to the porch and sit and breakthem for cooking or canning.

In my 40s, I returned to the South HolstonRiver area to attend the funeral of a dear unclethat I hadn’t seen for many years but alwayscarried a memory of him as a hero in WWII.As I was being transported, along with

others, to the church where the funeral wasto be held. I didn’t know which church untilwe rounded a curve. To my utter amaze-ment, it was the church that had greetedme so many times as a child. It was aserendipity moment when it came into view.Lacking the fear experienced as a little girl,I saw, standing in front of the church… theold bridge. It was coming apart and wasclosed to traffic, but still open to my heart.

That was the week that, having read inthe obits that someone was from “Trou-blesome Hollow,” I copied the words down.Years later, remembering that, it becamethe title of my first book. Those who readthe book said I should do a sequel, for leav-ing the heroine at a fairly young age leftthem wondering what the rest of her lifewas like. I started the sequel ages ago… onlywrote 30 pages and still sort of plan totake it to completion... someday.

My world in town bore no comparison todays spent in the country. With younger sib-lings around and friends coming and goingat the house all the time everything wastotally different. The variety of life reallyspiced it up!

Do as I do. Enjoy life… stay young …keep good memories and throw the badones away… and if you feel like it, havean un-birthday party! ST

As I wrote in a recent article, Irecently gave a talk regardingScams, Shams, And Flimflams.As I was preparing for the talk,

I came across a great number of govern-ment and non-government websites pro-viding information on these matters. Thisinformation came from the FBI’s site,Common Fraud Schemes http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/fraud#advfee

The FBI site says “An advance feescheme occurs when the victim pays moneyto someone in anticipation of receiving some-thing of greater value—such as a loan,contract, investment, or gift—and then re-ceives little or nothing in return.”

“The variety of advance fee schemes islimited only by the imagination of the conartists who offer them.” The scammers mayreport that they have information aboutmoney that has been found, an inheritance,a refund, a sweepstakes or lottery winning,or another opportunity. The victim will beasked to pay a finder’s fee, a good-faith fee,or other advance fee.

Our local newspaper has reported howlocals have fallen for such frauds recentlyin this area.

The FBI site offers tips to avoid thesescams and others. The primary tip is to re-member the following statement: If some-thing appears too good to be true, it probablyis. The site offers the following list of tips:

“…be suspect if you are asked to pay inadvance to receive something unexpected.”

“Know who you are dealing with. If youhave not heard of a person or company thatyou intend to do business with, learn moreabout them. Visit the business location,check with the Better Business Bureau, orconsult with your bank, an attorney, orthe police.

“Be wary of businesses that operateout of post office boxes or mail drops anddo not have a street address. Also be sus-picious when dealing with persons whodo not have a direct telephone line andwho are never in when you call, but alwaysreturn your call later.”

Also, because many of these scams orig-inate in other countries, be particularly warywhen you are requested to send money orother property outside the United States.

How nice it is to see a hugeAmerican flag spotlightedatop a high building, over abusiness, or adorning local

thoroughfares. Yes... the flag belongs atthe park, the post office, and headinga parade, but it is also at home over abusiness or residence.

For a while it seemed the flag was anendangered species. Some folks mocked‘Ole Glory’ during the Vietnam era.They seemed to delight in embarrassingthe nation with their public displays ofdisrespect. Fortunately, most of that hasfaded. Achieving and celebrating ournation’s 200th birthday, helped. Flag rais-ing is no longer flag razing.

Why fly a flag? For thesame reason you wear a col-lege ring or a wedding ring.Pride. You've made a com-mitment. It makes a statementabout your thinking, yourintent, and your freedom.

America makes daily contributions tothe betterment of the world’s population.Under the stars and stripes Americahas accepted the world's tired and poor,its huddled masses yearning to be free...its homeless, tempest tossed. Even peo-ple who hate the U.S. want to live here.

Using freedom, American scientist,researchers, and entrepreneurs havemade contributions to the bettermentof people everywhere. We are still theworld’s most dependable leader.

Our medical system has taught us thevalue of a healthy body. Americans jog28 million miles daily... seven times thedistance of our national roadways. Lifespan has jumped from 38 to 78 years,and thousands of Americans live to see100. We've conquered diphtheria, smallpox, typhoid, measles, TB, pneumonia,and polio, and we're gaining on hepati-tis, sickelcel anemia, MS, MD, cancer,and aids. People around the world arealive today due to our work on the heart-lung machine, dialysis, and the CAT scan.Dentists are seemingly putting them-selves out of business with better den-tal care, better toothpaste.

The American Red Cross stands as aworld beacon in the distribution of safeblood products. We refill 2,000 peopleevery day.

Just a few years ago people wouldhave died of diseases that are now elim-inated or controlled with something assimply as vaccination. In 1908 manurefleas brought on a cholera epidemicthat killed 20,000. That threat is nowvirtually nonexistent. We are cleanliness

conscious due to constantly rising san-itation standards.

The fight for cleaner air is due in partto the free press. We’ve learned whatdirty air does to our health. Who wouldhave thought just a few years ago thatsmokers would be in the minority andthat the pollution it creates would beunwelcome in public areas?

Years ago, a German biologist pre-dicted that 1970 would be a year of star-

vation for this world.Thanks to free enterprisefarming, it didn't happen.The year yielded bumpercrops in an America thathas only 6 percent of the

worlds land surface. Less that 3 percentof us are farmers. Our marketplaceyields almost endless choices, the resultof free agriculture. Food is so abundantwe throw out or share with others,200,000 tons of eatable food daily. Thelate Dr. Dixy Lee Ray, former gover-nor of a northwestern state once said,“For the first time in history we takefor granted that food will be availablewhenever we wish to buy it.”

What other nations can boast of analmost 100 percent guarantee that thepublic water supply, in even the small-est hamlet, will be safe?

Sure there's a lot more to be done.Just walk through the children's ward ofany hospital... or through the geriatricward or through a long term care nurs-ing facility. It'll tear at your heart.Remember, everything is relative totime and time marches on. In Americait marches fearlessly.

America is beautiful, clean, andhealthy. She has her problems, but prob-lems are fraught with opportunity, andopportunity and freedom go togetherwell. America's not perfect. I wouldn’targue otherwise. We aren't buildingwalls to keep citizens in. America isgreat because America is good. If sheceases to be good... then she’ll ceaseto be great!

Fly a flag for freedom. Be proud ofyour American heritage. Happy birth-day America! ST

It’s Hot—Drink Plenty Of Fluids

Summer is here and that means hot,hot weather. It’s important to remem-ber to drink plenty of fluids to keepyour body well hydrated and healthy.

Sipping water throughout the day will helpkeep you hydrated. Which beverages is thebest choice? Selections range from tap water,vitamin water, sports and energy drinks,there are some important differences.

Water is always an excellent choice. Sincethe human body is made up of mostly water, itmakes sense to replenish it with water. Waterhelps to replace the electrolytes your bodyneeds to keep it functioning properly. It hasno calories and does not supply energy, justfluid replacement. Try to add zest to water witha lemon or lime slice, (actually any fruit ofyour choosing will do).

Sports drinks enhance fluid replacementalong with some minerals and carbohydrates.These can be lost if you are sweating. If youare actively engaged in sports or exercise oroutdoor activities for long periods of time, adrink with additional benefits may be called for.However, the calories can really add up so thinkbefore you choose a sports drink.

Energy drinks generally contain largeamounts of calories and carbohydrates. Astimulant such as caffeine is generally thesource of energy. The caffeine content ofthese drinks can have the opposite affect caus-ing fluid loss, making them a poor choice forfluid replacement since it acts as a diuretic.

Vitamin water or fitness water typically hassome vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates

added. These drinks provide only a very smallamount of nutrients (not enough to count),however their flavor makes them more desirablethan plain water. Is it worth the higher costs?

Often, these drinks are sweetened with highfructose corn syrup and research has found alink to weight gain. Also, the size of a typicalsport or energy drink is usually 16 to 20 oz.which is considered two to two and ½ serv-ings per bottle. You could be doubling thecalories you consume and not even realize it.The sweeteners themselves may not quenchyour thirst, leaving you still thirsty for the real

thing. Fruits and vegetables and their juicesare other good sources of fluids. They do con-tribute calories as well as minerals and vita-mins and some fiber. Look for juices with nosugar added to cut down on calories. Try mak-ing your own smoothie by blending several ofyour favorite fruits for a refreshing treat. Thehigher cost of fruits and vegetables are worththe added benefits. ST

Prescription drug abuse, eco-nomic uncertainty, and aban-donment are just a few reasonschildren enter foster care. In

the Volusia, Putnam, and Flagler coun-ties there were 5,285 calls to the StateAbuse Hotline alleging abuse from Jan-uary–September, 2011. Some of thosecalls resulted in children needing anAdvocate to help them navigate the sys-tem and protect their interests in court.

An Advocate or Guardian ad Litem(GAL) is a volunteer who are yourneighbors, corner store clerk, or mailman. They have been trained to repre-sent the best interests of this vulnera-ble population in court. Currently thereare nearly 1,000 children in foster carein Volusia, Putnam, and Flagler coun-ties. There is an intense need to ensuretheir rights are represented and heard.It is their human right to be protected.Every child has a right to thrive, to betreated with dignity, and to live in asafe, loving home. Every child deservesa fighting chance.

To ensure they get a fighting chance,the Program needs to have a volunteerfor each child. While the Program hasmore volunteers than ever, and is rep-resenting more children than ever, thatfact is meaningless to those children withno GAL to represent their best inter-ests. To represent all children in thesystem, the GAL Program must continueto recruit volunteers so that it may ulti-mately be able to represent all abused,abandoned, and neglected children.

We have seen first hand the trans-formation a GAL volunteer can haveon a child. For example, a 9-year-oldchild was receiving representation fromthe GAL Program. At the time she wasremoved from her mother, there wereno family members able to care for her.Subsequently, the child was placed in

foster care. Her grandmother came for-ward to have visits so the child couldeventually live with her. While meetingwith the child at a monthly visit, thechild told the GAL Volunteer repeat-edly that she did not want to live withher grandmother.

The child made numerous allega-tions against the grandmother includ-ing alcohol misuse and inappropriateinteraction.

At a court hearing, the GAL Volun-teer objected to the child being placedwith the grandmother until family coun-seling could address the child’s con-cerns. The GAL Volunteer did not be-lieve it was in the child’s best interestfor the child to live with the grand-mother until the child’s concerns wereaddressed. The GAL Volunteer advo-cated for these services.

Ultimately, the volunteer was suc-cessful getting the court to order fam-ily counseling prior to the child beingplaced in the grandmother’s custody.Once the therapist recommended thegrandmother was a suitable placement,the child was placed with her. If it hadnot been for the GAL Volunteer, thischild’s interest may not have been met.

Please consider becoming a volun-teer and help support the children ofVolusia and Flagler counties. ST

According to Mayo Clinic,neuropathy is nerve damageto the peripheral nervoussystem which causes pain

and numbness in the hands and feet.Neuro means nerve and pathy meansdisease. The pain of neuropathy is de-scribed as burning or tingling. Neuropa-thy has a number of possible causes. Itcan be a result of toxin exposure, infec-tions, metabolism inefficiency, severeinjuries, or diabetes.

Symptoms of neuropathy may in-clude burning sensation, sensitivity totouch, lack of coordination, numbnessand tingling in feet or hands, legs andarms, muscle weakness, muscle spasms,muscle paralysis, and sharp pain.

Acupuncture treatments are success-ful in alleviating symptoms of neuropa-thy. The Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) sees the human body as anintegrated being. It works with vitalenergies inherent within all living thingsto promote the body’s ability to healitself. Smoke cessation is important ascigarette smoke greatly affects circu-lation, especially in the legs. Eat healthymeals rich in whole grains, fruits, andvegetables. Diets rich in anti-inflam-matory, unprocessed, and organic foods

support circulation. Drink plenty ofwater. Hydration is key in circulation.Massage therapy sessions increase cir-culation and stimulate nerves.

Acupuncture along with other treat-ments that induce circulation and nervestimulation achieve successful resultsin returning sensations to the neuropa-thy sufferers’ extremities (hands, feet,arms, and legs). During a treatment,specific acupuncture points are stimu-lated to balance bioelectric energy cir-culation and promote the body’s ownnatural healing abilities. A balance ofenergy in the body yields mind-bodyrelaxation and optimized physiologi-cal functions of the body. The wholeprocedures last about 20 minutes, dur-ing which time patients are very relaxedand comfortable.

Idedicated my last article to giving ourchildren taking ADD/ADHD medica-tions a holiday for the summer. Thediscussion focused on the incredible

research being done by a MIT bio-chemistDr. Stephanie Seneff, Phd.

While working on projects unrelatedto Alzheimer’s, Dr. Seneff became alarmedat what seemed to be a link between Ameri-ca's obsession with low fat diets and the med-ical community's obsession with a loweringcholesterol. She found an extremely high fat(ketogenic) diet has been found to improvecognitive ability in Alzheimer’s patients.

These and other observations lead me toconclude that both a low fat diet and statindrug treatment increase the susceptibilityto Alzheimer’s. Currently over 5 millionAmericans have this irreversible disease.

Before the advent of refined corn oil,there was historic old age dementia but noAlzheimer’s with its irreversible degen-erative plaque now so common today. Whatstarted in the industrialization of food oilshas continued with refined sugars and theproduction of high glycemic index refinedand processed simple carbs. These new refinedfoods have given us is a new disease: type IIdiabetes. Insulin stays high which leadsto elevated blood lipids, generally calledcholesterol, leading to hypertension andthen heart disease.

In my last article (Whole Family Well-ness 5/25/12), I outlined Seneff’s premisethat the current trend of low fat diets (fos-tered by the mass media’s belief that fatsare bad) has impacted the brain growthand development of our children, espe-cially young boys.

Pharmaceutical medicine has come upwith the most prescribed class of drugs inAmerica: statins. Their premise is that theAmerican diet produces too much bad cho-lesterol and what is needed is to lower it. Theproblem, as Dr. Seneff's research shows, isthat the mechanics by which these drugslower LDL cholesterol creates serious sideeffects. The most critical one takes place atthe site where they work—the liver.

Dr. Seneff’s research is shedding light ona more serious side effect: the switching offof the enzyme that produces not only one ofthe hearts primary energy sources, but alsothe one crucial for brain function. It is pro-duced in the liver and it is called CoQ1O,sometimes referred to as Ubiquinol (ubi-quinol meaning ubiquitous or found every-where in the human cells). This co-enzymeis critical in converting glucose and essentialfatty acids into ATP, the energy sourceused to power all body functions, especiallythe heart and brain. Statin drugs switch offthis enzyme which explains why long timeusers complain of fatigue and loss of cog-nitive sharpness and focus. Another com-mon complaint is radiating leg pain andmuscle weakness. All these symptoms arelisted in the Physicians' Desk Reference(PDR) for physicians as requiring their eval-uation and remediation.

Sadly, this usually results in prescrib-ing another brand of statin and then a re-shuffling of the symptoms.

The purpose of this article is to bringawareness of these side effects and encour-age investigation by the reader for them-selves or a family member who may notbe doing well on these drugs. Dr. Seneff'sinsights give us a clear understanding ofwhat happens when statins are added toan artificial low fat diet which replacesessential fats with high glycemic foods: Alzheimer’s disease in victims who are onlyin their mid-forties.

So how do you pro-tect yourself? Take thelowest dose statin alongwith the good choles-terol found in Essen-tial Fatty Acids (EFAs)derived from salmon oil, cod liver oil, orkrill oil. They all possess the lipids EPAand DHA which are well documented toprevent coronary heart disease and feed thebrain as they slow down the aging process(see JAMA, 1/20/ 2010-vol. 3O3, # 3, Dr.Ramin-Far, M.D.). After all, the only rea-son anyone takes statins is to lower therisk of heart disease.

Also, take a supplement of CoQ10 if youare on a statin. The results will be profound:energy and stamina along with mental sharp-ness. If you would like a lower risk alterna-tive or simply can't tolerate the drug, try redyeast rice extract (RYRE). This is an effectivenatural source of statin compounds. I haveworked with several area physicians to helppatients who can't or won't take the drug. Weeven have a combination product which hasRYRE along with fish oil and CoQ1O.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosedwith the early stage of Alzheimer’s and aretaking statins, work with your doctor toeliminate them, do a liver cleanse and addthe following: Turmeric along with largedoses of EFT (4-6 gps/day) and 400 to600mi/day of CoQ1O.

Turmeric is the active ingredient in curryand will be the subject of our next article.This herb is consumed at every meal by thepeople of India. Interestingly, they have thelowest incidence of Alzheimer’s in the indus-trial world. They also don't take statin drugs.

This month, Love Wholefoods (bothstores) is offering nutraceutical grade fishoil (EFA) and CoQ1O by Natural Factorsat a substantial holiday savings. Natural Fac-tors has also honored our store with a onenight presentation by nationally known Dr.Richard Passwater, Jr., Phd. The subject willbe on osteoporosis and pain managementwithout drugs. It will be at the Ormondstore on Monday, July 23 at 7 P.M. It will befree but this event will be packed so be sureto make seat reservations. Please call 386-677-5236. Don't forget to mark your cal-endars and be sure to remember to takeyour EFAs.

In recent years, Halifax HumaneSociety has moved toward beinga true humane society, and morethan just an animal shelter. This

has meant helping animals both insideand outside of the shelter, and leadingchanges that make the Greater DaytonaBeach a friendlier place for animals andtheir owners. It also means offering moreat the shelter than adoptable animals.In recent months, we have made someremarkable additions to the HHS retailstore, allowing us to better serve ani-mal lovers in the community.

Quality pet food can be one of, if notthe most important factor in a pet’s goodhealth, and HHS now offers one of thetop foods on the market at a surpris-ingly affordable price. Blackwood petfoods are made in the U.S. using qual-ity ingredients that are slow cooked insmall batches. This approach maximizesthe essential nutrients your pet receives.The 15-pound bags of Blackwood foodare priced from $23.99 up to $32.99 forspecial diet blends. We always suggestthat pet owners purchase the best foodwithin their budget, but it is important tonote that the lack of filler ingredients

means you get more bang for your buckwith Blackwood foods. Many pet own-ers find that their pet requires less foodwhen feeding with a super-premiumfood like Blackwood. HHS is the onlyretail outlet within a 200-mile radius ofDaytona Beach to offer Blackwood.

HHS is also offering American-madepet beds and crates for prices that areoften lower than what you might find atlarge discount stores. Crate training of-fers many benefits for pets. A crate canbe used as a tool for house training fordogs, and it can limit a pet’s access tocertain areas of the house. Crates also

provide a safe method of transportationfor animals in the car. Once trained,many pets actually love their crate, asthey see it as a safe, personal space.Just remember that animals should notbe left in a crate for extended periods,and a crate should never be used forpunishment.

For more information on any HHSretail products, visit us at the animalshelter at 2364 LPGA Boulevard, or giveus a call at 386-274-4703. ST

Your living room can certainly beone of the most comfortableplaces in your home, but is itsafe? Most accidents are pre-

ventable with just a little regular mainte-nance and inexpensive adjustments. Theliving room gets a lot of use. Take a fewmoments to review safety considerationsand give you a level of ease and comfort.

If a lot of time is spent in the living room,then chances are it’s easy for clutter to buildup. A cluttered room can be hazardous. Slickmagazines left on the floor are easy to tripon. A forgotten cup could be knocked over,spilling its contents. Important papers andemergency numbers could disappear in astack of junk mail.

It’s a simple matter to regularly throwout or recycle old papers and magazines.Consider getting a cordless phone if youdon’t already have one to minimize the riskof tripping over tangled cords. If you smoke,use large, deep ashtrays so cigarettes don’tfall out and ignite papers on tables.

A big, cushy couch might be a wonder-ful for watching television, but sometimespeople with poor mobility can have a dif-ficult time getting up. Also consider avoid-ing furniture with long seats, which oftenlack proper back support or don’t allow thesitter’s legs to bend easily. When seated, theupper legs should be parallel to the floor.Typically, seats should be 17 to 18 inchesfrom the floor.

Carpets keep floors warm and reducenoise, but old or ragged carpet also invitesaccidents. People with poor vision may notsee threadbare spots or bunched sectionsof carpeting, increasing their vulnerabilityto tripping. Examine your carpeting for any-thing that can create uneven surfaces. Shagcarpeting can catch toes, whereas Berbercarpeting, which is flatter, is a better choice.

Also, don’t run electrical cords under car-pet as they can still be tripping hazardsand fire risks.

Small, loose rugs need to be checkedtoo. Put nonskid backing on them to pre-vent slippage.

Seniors sometimes find that it takeslonger for their eyes to focus, and some mayhave difficulty seeing. So, brighter lights areimportant. Halogen lamps are popular forbeing inexpensive and bright, but they aren’talways the best choice. They can be fire haz-ards if tipped over or if clothing is placedtoo close to the bulb. Consider getting flu-orescent lighting or track lighting.

Following these safety tips can makeyour living room even more comfortablethan it already is and provide additionalpeace of mind. ST

Safety In The Living Room

From TheSheriff

…Volusia County SheriffBen Johnson

July 6, 2012—Seniors Today—Page B-3

When I write in a playfulmood it is usually greatfun. Like one day whenI was thinking of how

insincere one of my old flames provedto be.

I wrote: “No matter how deeply youcut me, I shall still love you.

You can drag me for miles behindyour pickup truck, you can pummel meto the ground and stomp upon myrib cage with sharp-pointed high heelshoes; you can pour battery acid downmy throat until my vocal cords are soscorched that I can make no noise ex-cept the tiny shriek of a field mouse,but I will cling to you forever.

I will come over Monday week andwatch your old Johnny Carson tapeswith you if it is not raining.”

The thing that prompted this wasthe insincerity of an old flame. Some-times false promises and insincere state-ments can cut us so deeply that we haveto turn it into something ridiculouslyfunny to get over it.

That’s right. Intentional humor canbe healing. Don’t hesitate to makefun of those who shoot you a line ofbull and tell you it is banana pud-ding. They deserve your guffaws. That’sall they deserve.

This woman had told at least 50 ofmy friends and family, “I told Daltonif he would pay my way and save myplace he could retire anytime he wantedand I would pay all the bills.” When Igot ready to retire she said our “rela-tionship is now completed.” Meaningher use of me was completed.

Something like that will hurt but thesooner you see how hilarious it is tocontrast what they say with reality, itstarts to heal. In the process, you get alarge laugh out of how ludicrous it is.

Aside from humor, another way toget over someone’s insincerity is torealize that some people cannot be sin-

cere. Maybe they were raised by phonyparents and never saw a single exam-ple of sincerity in their lives. So theyhave had no chances to practice sincer-ity. Most people go through life repeat-ing the lessons they learned from theirparents. Believe it or not, sinceritymust be practiced to become a part ofyour character.

There are times when you cannotblame it on parents. Some people learnit on their own. Like serial killers, theydo it once and are instantly addictedso they keep on doing it. When you geta good reward for doing something—you know, a good feeling—you tendto repeat that behavior. The longer youharvest good things from insincerity,the more it becomes the real you.

A good rule of thumb is, “If it soundstoo good to be true, it generally is.”

If someone repeats a palavering, itis usually phony. A “palavering” is astatement like, “I told him if he paysmy way and saves my place he can retireand I will take care of him.” A “palaver-ing” is anything you can tell is a roboticstatement someone has adopted to getsomething out of you.

Study people’s history. Especiallypeople you love. Love blinds us. It maylook like the opposite of love for youto study someone but believe me, it isa basic survival technique. See whatthey have done to other lovers.

It may save you from being brutal-ized some day. ST

Q: I have several Big Little Books,all copyrighted between 1939 and 1941,depicting the adventures of such boy-hood heroes as The Phantom, BuckRogers, The Lone Ranger, The GreenHornet, and Dick Tracy. Do these bookshave any value?

—Gene, Goodyear, ArizonaA: Yes, they do. The first Big Little

Book, The Adventures Of Dick Tracy,was published by the Whitman com-pany just before Christmas in 1932.The books are distinctive in that theylook like a 4-inch block of wood sawedoff the end of a two-by-four.

***Q: Last year, I acquired a miniature

cast-iron sleigh with eight reindeer thatmove up and down when pulled. I can'tfind anything about it. Can you help?

—Don, Sun City West, ArizonaA: The picture you sent makes me

think the sleigh is not as old as you

think. This obviously is a Christmastable decoration, and the paintworkdoesn't appear to be as detailed as inmost of the older pieces I have seen. Agood place to begin your research mightbe to invest in a fairly good guide.

***Q: I have a scale that I believe is

from about 1937 or earlier. It is the sameone seen in the movie A House With-out A Christmas Tree. It was manufac-tured by the Hobart Company in Day-ton, Ohio. Any idea of how old it is andwhat its value would be?

—Inge, Granite City, IllinoisA: I'm not sure if your scale has a

three- or 30-pound capacity. There is adifference when it comes to prices. Ifound one of the smaller scales being of-fered in an online auction for $40. ST

Ryoko Elzey, D.O.M.Acupuncture Physician

When you have a pain,there is no doubt that itwill be the first thing youwant to get rid of. What

if you have another condition that alsois very bothersome? We can treat bothconditions at the same time.

When a patient comes in for painmanagement, many times they also showinternal conditions which either acutelydeveloped or have been chronicallypresent for sometime.

For instance, a patient presents withlow-back pain initially and we decideto treat it with acupuncture which pro-motes blood flow/circulation in the area,especially with acupuncture points forkidney energy that is in charge of lowback stability.

Upon further evaluation the patientmight also complain of internal symp-toms such as cold/respiratory infec-tion. In that case we use mainly lungpoints which influence the symptomsrelated to the lung condition. Besidesusing acupuncture points to eliminatetypical symptoms such as pain, fever,chest congestion, sinus congestion,and cough, a typical oriental medicine

doctor also fills custom-made Chi-nese herbal prescriptions to managethe symptoms and promote healing ofthe function of the lung and overallbodily function as a whole.

On top of this, acupuncture alsoworks as an immune system boosterand it will help the body cope withcold/flu better.

You can also greatly benefit fromthe combination treatment of acupunc-ture and physical therapy. With thebenefits of acupuncture and Chineseherbal prescription stated above, phys-ical therapy will help the body in-crease mobility and postural flexibility.

We can treat them both simultane-ously. ST

Years ago, I took up swim-ming laps to get in shape. Ibought a Master padlock formy swimming locker. It was

a beauty—a brilliant red body withblack lettering and a shiny silver hasp.Seems like a strange thing to growfond of, but a red padlock is a wholelot more zippy than one of those plainsilver ones.

A few years later, we bought a littlefarmhouse out in the country and movedout of our city house. My swimminghabit died out with the distance. Mypoor lock went into the junk drawer, andover time I forgot the combination.

One day, while cleaning up a pileof paperwork, I found the magic num-bers. I immediately went to the Rolo-dex and filed the little laminated chunkof paper.

Months later, my daughter neededthe lock for school. I nearly cackled inmy glee, “I know where the combina-tion is!” and ran to the Rolodex.

I absolutely knew I'd filed that slipof paper. I just didn't have a clue whatletter I'd filed it under.

I stomped into the kitchen tellingBill all about how I was certain I hadfiled the missing combination, and nowit was nowhere to be found. Bill got alittle smile on his face.

“What?” I said irritated.“Have you checked under 'R' for

'red'?” he asked.I rolled my eyes. “Why would I file

it under that?” There was no way I'dfiled those numbers under red.

I flipped to the “R's.“ The very firstcard under “R” was written in my hand-writing. In big letters at the top, it said“Red Combination Lock.”

I went back to the kitchen. “Youwere right,” I said. “I filed the combi-nation under 'R' for 'red.'”

He started to laugh, which got mestarted too. Then he gave me a hug.

“How did you know?” I said. “Thatmakes absolutely no sense.” “I just knowyou all to well,” he said.

Elder FinancialAbuse—Crime ofThe 21st Centuryby Scott Selis, Esq.

Did you know that senior citizens lose approximately $2.9 billion peryear to scams?

Sometimes, seniors turn over their savings to a friend or seeminglyreputable company that vanishes, or a trusted family member drains theelder's bank account. With the properguidance, the elder victim mightbe able to recover three times the amount taken.

ior friendly they are. Besides an over-all rating, it categorizes products in termsof easy to see, easy to use, easy to hear,and easy to understand. If that's notenough, it even gives each item a CoolFactor number.

If you're going to buy a gift for asenior or want something helpful foryourself, this might well be a good placeto check reviews for useful items.

How about a pair of reading glassesthat come with two tiny lights next to thelenses? No need for a flashlight if youneed to look at something in a low-light situation.

What about a talking thermometer forwhen you're cooking? You won't needto squint at the tiny numbers on yourdigital thermometer anymore.

Then there are the easy-to-use cam-eras, those with simple menus that stillhave a whopping 12 megapixels to takereally sharp photos.

How about a small digital emer-gency-alert radio? With a hand crank,you don't need to use batteries, and you'llget advance warning if bad weather iscoming your way.

One of the best gadgets on the site isa temperature control faucet light. If thewater is cool, the color stays blue. Oncethe temperature rises above 89 degreesF, the light becomes red. No more put-ting your hands under water that's toohot and may burn you!

Fibromyalgia, which stands for:fibro-fibrous tissues (such asten-dons and ligaments), myo—mus-cles and algia—pain, has been

shown to affect about five million Ameri-cans, thanks to recent studies.

Unfortunately, despite continual re-search, its exact cause remains unknown.

The major symptoms of fibromyalgia arechronic widespread body pain, restless sleep,and fatigue. Because of this general ill feel-ing, patients reduce their exercise and be-come out of shape, which eventually leadsto increased pain, fatigue, and weight gain.

For patients with fibromyalgia, the over-all goal of an exercise program is to im-prove general fitness by increasing musclestrength, endurance, and flexibility andcardiovascular endurance, all while improv-ing emotional well being and functional sta-tus. This can be attained with certain typesof exercise in specific intensity, frequency,quantity, duration, and progression.

Because strength training, such as weighttraining, generally puts greater stress onmuscles and their surrounding tissue, andrequires longer periods of rest betweenexercises, it should be performed two tothree times per week with 48-72 hoursbetween sessions. However, cardiovascularexercise, such as walking, can be performedeven daily along with flexibility exercises.

As a rule, an exercise program consistsof a warm-up, an exercise, and a cooldown period. For example, the first monthof an exercise regime could include 5-10

minutes of walking, followed by 5-10minutes of light strength training and 5-10 minutes of stretching and cooling down.People who are new to exercise, especiallythose with FMS, should keep an initial lowimpact pace, with a gradual increase ineffort level over time.

On the flip side, exercising too muchcan aggravate FMS and induce a failurecycle in which the patient abandons theirmuch-needed exercise. Excessive pain orfatigue lasting more than 24 hours is aclear sign that you over did it, which oftenrequires a significant reduction in exer-cise intensity until the flare-up subsides.

I’ve often heard “I joined the gym toexercise, but I only feel worse. I’ve failed!”Unfortunately, the mere fact that it is notcommon for fitness trainers to know thatFMS patients, despite looking healthy on theoutside, cannot tolerate an average work-out,can actually be harmed by general exercise.

The key is not only to exercise, but toimplement an exercise regime tailor-made toyou're your FMS needs with the help of yourphysician and/or a specialized trainer. Be-ware of the one-size-fits-all exercise plans.

Fibromyalgia And Exercise

Where DoesIt Hurt?

by Dr. Yong Tsai

by Freddie Groves

The authorities are sure mak-ing headway in nailing indi-viduals who steal from theDepartment of Veterans Af-

fairs—and ultimately from veterans.Here are some of the top stories:

• A man in Tennessee has been ar-rested for fabricating and selling phonydocuments. He created military awardcertificates, honorable discharge paper-work, and replacement documents, downto the actual agency seals used. In somecases he made up names of the docu-ment signers; in others he duplicated thesignature. He collected a cool $200,000for making these reproductions of mil-itary documents. Not only was he sellingto veterans who'd genuinely earned theirawards and only needed replacementdocumentation, but he sold to the phon-ies, too. Sentencing will be this summer.

• Another pair pleaded guilty involv-ing staffing at one of the VA's outpa-tient pharmacies of $8 million overseven years. It involved use of a SmallBusiness Administration certificationand illegal gratuities.

• In Missouri, a man was found guiltyof accepting gratuities from contractorsfor sending $3.4 million worth of VAwork their way. Others in the scam werenailed for creating a fake company thatwas supposed to be owned by a dis-abled veteran.

• In South Carolina a woman wasnabbed for collecting more than $37,000in veterans survivor funds. She hadclaimed benefits after marrying a veteranwho then passed away. She neglectedto notify the VA that she had separatedfrom the veteran before his death andlater remarried (when the benefits shouldhave stopped), and even went on to claimeducational benefits years afterward.

What's especially encouraging is thatall of these happened this year. The sumtotal just on these cases alone is $11million plus. ST

Dear Paw’s Corner: My dog, Andie,is a pretty laid-back border collie, well-socialized to other dogs and people.However, I am dismayed when a childruns up to her or another strange dogto pet or hug her. Andie tolerates thesesurprise hugs well, but other dogs maynot be so well-trained. Can you pleaseremind your readers about the right wayto approach a strange dog?

—Carol J., Pittsburgh

Dear Carol:You got it! Approachinga dog, even a dog you know, should bedone with caution and respect. Parentsneed to teach their children how tobehave around dogs. More than half ofthe 4.7 million Americans bitten by dogslast year were children.

The American Veterinary MedicalAssociation (avma.org) and Prevent theBite (preventthebite.org) have joined theU.S. Postal Service to call attention topreventing dog bites. Here are some tips:

• Never leave a baby or a small childalone with a dog, even the family pet.

• Teach children not to approachstrange dogs, run up to dogs to hug them,or try to pet them through a fence.

• Always ask permission of a dog'sowner before petting the dog. You shouldpet the dog first before letting your childpet the dog.

• Learn the right way to approach andpet a dog, including your own dog. Itshould first be able to see you and sniffyou. If the dog tenses, bristles, growlsor backs away, back off.

• Do not approach tethered or con-fined dogs, sleeping dogs, or motherstaking care of puppies.

• If you're passing a dog, whether onor off a leash, walk steadily and calmlypast, without making direct eye con-tact. Never run. ST
