10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.

2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.

3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.

4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.

5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.

7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product. These include the growth factors, polypeptides and actives in Ageless Renewal Serum, the lipid-based CoQ10 in Ageless Actives, and many more.

9. ISAGENIX IS AHEAD OF THE CURVEThe Isagenix Quality, Regulatory, Technology, Science (QRTS) teams use the latest scientific research to create life-changing products, thus solidifying its position as an industry leader.

Be a Responsible Pet OwnerFebruary is Responsible Pet Owners Month, and

while I sometimes grouse about events that desig-nate a specific period of the year to do something that should obviously be done every single day, I think it's a worthy way to enlighten new pet own-ers or those thinking about getting a pet on how to care for that pet. So, how can you be a responsible pet owner?

If you're considering getting a pet:--Study and learn all you can about the pet or

breed you're interested in.--Consider adopting from a shelter or rescue.--Avoid buying dogs from puppy mills, at flea

markets or other sketchy places.--If buying from a breeder, research and consider

carefully before making a purchase.If you already have a pet:--Spay or neuter your pet.--Do more than just provide food, water and

shelter: Give your pet lots of love and attention.--Teach your children how to properly care for

pets and how to play responsibly with them.--Provide regular, daily obedience training to

your dog.--Keep your cat indoors.--When taking your dog out for a walk, follow

your town's leash laws and pick up after it.--At dog parks, follow the posted rules. Owners

who don't follow rules can put the park at risk of being shut down. Don't be that guy.

There are, of course, many other ways to be a responsible pet owner. But this is a good time to review the way you care for your pets, the routines you've fallen into, the training you've meant to start -- and to plan new fun and activities for your pets and family.

Send your questions or tips to [email protected], or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and information, visit www.pawscorner.com.

CHARLOTTE -- Rich-ard Petty is, of course, The King of stock car racing, just as Roy Acuff was considered The King of country music and Elvis

Presley of rock 'n' roll. Petty, who won nearly twice as many races (200) as anyone else in NASCAR history, remains a vibrant part of the Sprint Cup scene today.

Petty was, naturally, one of the first five induct-ees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, along with NASCAR founder William H.G. France, succes-sor William C. France, Dale Earnhardt and Junior Johnson.

The Hall of Fame has now inducted three classes, each containing five honorees. So great was the role of the Petty family in the sport's history that a family member has been included in all three classes. The Petty Enterprises patriarch, Lee, was a member of the second class. His nephew -- and Richard's first cousin -- Dale Inman was one of the five enshrined the night of Jan. 20.

Another Petty, Richard's brother Maurice, will probably make the Hall of Fame soon. Inman was Richard's crew chief during most of The King's career, which ended, as a driver, in 1992. Richard Petty Motorsports, a descendant of Petty Enterpris-es, currently fields Fords in the Sprint Cup Series for Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola.

Maurice Petty built the engines that propelled his brother to most of his 200 victories and seven championships.

The King and His Court"When some of those records were being ac-

cumulated, we didn't think there would be a Hall of Fame," said Inman, who was inducted along with Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Richie Evans and Glen Wood. "We really weren't run-ning for anything other than trying to beat the other competitors, get enough money survive and stuff like that. We didn't know it was go-ing to grow into the great big sport that we've got now.

"We've been around a long time, you know, and to still be as active as we are in the sport, with what we've been through ... we're still surviving, and I think that's great."

NASCAR legend and owner Richard Petty was part of the first NAS-CAR Hall of Fame class. Now, with Dale Inman's recent induction, there's a member of the Petty family in each of the first three classes. (John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo)

• The area that is now the state of California had a population of about 700 in 1854. In 2010, the population had increased to 37,253,956. In the span of just over one and a half centuries, the population increased a whopping 53,000 times.

• If you ever make a trip to Italy (lucky you!) and visit the town of Modena, be sure to go to the bell tower. There you might see an item that is, to the best of my knowledge, unique in the world: a wooden bucket that started a war. In 1325 a group of soldiers from the then-city-state of Modena raided rival city-state Bologna and returned home with the bucket. Greatly desiring to get the bucket back, Bologna declared war. The war raged on for years, but Bologna never did get its bucket back.

Sciatica: Big Nerve Can Be Big Problem

PuzzleAnswers

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 78-year-old woman, and five months ago I came down with sci-atica in my left leg underneath the buttock. It’s very painful. I’d like to know if there is something that can be done. -- S.M.

ANSWER: The sciatic (sigh-ATTIC) nerve is the body’s longest and largest nerve. It springs from nerve rootlets that emerge from the spinal cord in the lower back. Those rootlets intertwine to form this big nerve. It travels from the back, through the buttocks and down the leg to the foot. Anything that presses on or irritates the nerve in its long course gives rise to sciatica (sigh-ATTIC-uh), painful inflammation of the nerve.

A bulging back disk can press on the nerve. Arthrit-ic spurs on the spine are another source of irritation. A collapse of a backbone from osteoporosis is another trigger for pain, and the pain can be in the lower back, the buttocks or down the leg to the foot.

Have you tried Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief? Aleve, Advil, Motrin and the many other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs dull pain and quiet inflammation. Icing the painful back area for 10 to 15 minutes three times a day is another way to numb pain. If ice doesn’t work, turn to heat -- hot compresses or a heating pad.

Stretching the back might take pressure off the nerve. Sit on a firm chair with feet on the floor and knees shoulder-width apart. Turn slightly to the left. Then, with your right arm dangling down between the knees and left arm dangling down on the outside of the left knee, bend down to the floor as far as you can and hold that position for five seconds. Straighten up and reverse the process by turning to your right and arranging your arms with the right arm outside the right knee and the left arm between the knees. If this exercise hurts, stop. If it doesn’t, perform five bends each, to the right and then to the left. Do the exercise three times a day.

Five months is a long time to put up with back pain. I’m not sure if self-treatment will do much for you. You need a doctor’s intervention, along with physical therapy.

The booklet on back pain delves more deeply into its causes and treatments. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 303W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters,

but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Back in 2008, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was classified as a presumptive for service-related disability, and benefits were given. The level of disability was classified at 30 percent, with frequent rechecks as time went on and the disease progressed. It was that ever-changing rating that held up a lot of benefits and needed equipment.

Vets With ALS Now 100 Percent Disabled

An item in the Federal Register for Dec. 20 says that the disability evaluation criterion has been revised. Veterans who have ALS now will be considered 100 percent disabled and much of the paper chase will be dispensed with.

The jump from 30 percent to 100 percent could mean a significant increase in benefits money. At 30 percent dis-ability, a single veteran would be eligible for $389 a month. At the 100 percent level, that amount goes up to $2,769. The amount increases if there is a spouse or children.

Additionally, there might be Special Monthly Compensa-tion (SMC) monies due to the level of disability.

ALS is found in those veterans who served in Gulf I back in 1991 at a rate twice that of those who served elsewhere. Initial research was published in the Neurology journal in 2003. A second study determined that the rate also was twice that of the general population. Hardest hit were those in the

Army and Air Force. Initial research was even able to narrow down a time frame for exposure: Between August 1990 and July 1991. An environmental trigger was suspected.

Studies done later, in 2005 and 2009 at Harvard, found that veterans in any branch with any military service anywhere were 60 percent more likely than the general population to be diagnosed with ALS. After fine-tuning the data, service in war was suspected as a component. But a 2006 review concluded that any military service is related to increased risk for ALS.
