Do you remember the frst piece
of furniture you ever owned?
Perhaps it was a hand-me-down from a family member,
something to make your dorm room a little more cozy. Maybe
you bought a table with some of the money you earned from
your frst real job. For me, it was a mission style futon,
which I bought in 1997. Even though the purchase was years
ago, I remember two things about it: the funky plaid print
and that I spent way more than I should have on that ridicu-
lous monstrosity.
I wish Furniture Phases would have been around back
then. Te Appleton business sells gently used furniture and
home dcor items bought on consignment. Teres a huge
assortment to choose from in the 9,000-sq.-f. showroom,
and its constantly changing. I was amazed at the quality of
the inventory and even more amazed by the prices when I
recently visited. To learn more about owner Marcia Smicks
philosophy on the subject, turn to page 50.
On the subject of phases
If you recall, a couple months ago I told you Id be running
a half marathon. Today, as I write this, Ive happily completed
my frst 13.1-mile race.
Was it easy? Hardly. (Te 25+MPH winds were a real chal-
lenge.) Was it fun? Now that Ive had a few hours to process
the whole thing, Id say yes. Te crowd support was encour-
aging and I met some great people. Ten, accomplishing
something I set my mind to is a pretty great reward in and
of itself.
Over the past few months I diligently prepared for the
race by following a training plan basically putting one
foot in front of the other, repeating as necessary. It was time
consuming, ofen frustrating and sometimes boring. But in the
end it was totally worth it.
Ive come to really love running. I know thats not a phase. As
for running another half or even a full marathon, the jurys still
out
Never say never.

10 Natures Pathways

By Jennifer Culver
E
very new experience enhances learning. Advancing
through a vegan lifestyle is no exception. Mistakes were
made and lessons continue to develop. Its called growth
growing into a healthier way of life. In February I
chose to adopt a vegan diet. Here are the lessons Im learning and
addressing on this vegan journey.
1. Too many starches
I love root vegetables especially white potatoes. Although
they are a low-fat, low-calorie food, they still reside higher on the
glycemic index (GI). I was consuming them daily because they
were flling, tasty and easy to mash with vegan butter and rice or
soy milk. Unfortunately, how quickly I neglected to remember
how they spike blood sugar levels. A few hours later, I was hungry
and ready for my next carb-out. But, they are a source of dietary
fber, have vitamins and minerals, and help lower my cholesterol.
Lesson learned: Continue eating potatoes and more complex
carbohydrates, substitute with sweet potatoes for variety, and eat
starches in moderation.
2. Not enough iron
In April, I confdently approached my blood donation ritual.
Te appointment snuck up on my calendar and I was less prepared
than usual. My plan was to be diligent with my powdered greens
supplementation for a full week prior to my donation. I love them,
but get a bit relaxed when Im busy and forget to drink them every
day. Well, I remembered their importance when my blood was
denied because my iron count was two counts too low. Bummer!
Looking back, I didnt have much spinach or brussels sprouts that
week, either. Lesson learned: Daily nutritional supplementation
and eating a variety of plant-based foods aids in a balanced diet,
especially when following an elimination diet.
3. Decreased blood pressure
Te beneft of regularly donating blood is that Im well aware
of my blood pressure. Although I was denied donation due to
my iron count, an impressive reduction in my blood pressure
reminded me of the benefts of a plant-based diet. My numbers
are normally in the average zone, but I was happy to hear that in
less than two months, my lower (diastolic) number had dropped 9
points. Lesson learned: A plant-based diet has health benefts.
4. Getting in a rut
With this years cooler springtime, I was not a fan of raw foods.
I crave warm foods and beverages. Steaming and roasting vegeta-
bles takes time and efort. Additionally, it takes mental preparation

to go to the of ce with a proper lunch prepared. Well, I got in a rut.
I favored canned soups, with an emphasis on beans and/or vege-
tables that were quick, easy and tasty. In this case, convenience
and tasty = high sodium. Soup in a can is faster, but not healthier.
When I planned ahead to make homemade versions of my favor-
ite soups; minestrone, bean, split pea, etc., I reduced my sodium
content while enjoying my comforting, warm, healthy foods. My
next focus is to reduce my consumption of fller crackers and bread
with my soup. Lesson learned: Preparation is strategic; with both
fresh fruits and vegetables to eat on demand, and vegan meals for
mealtimes especially at the of ce.
5. Consume flling foods and beverages
In cooler weather, I favored healthy cofees and teas over water
to warm my body. But water is an easy, natural flling beverage.
Homemade vegetable broth was one way I creatively consumed
warm water. Additionally, I drink lemon and hot water in the
morning as a quick, warm detoxifer. But to fll up I didnt
focus enough on low-fat, fber-rich foods. When time was tight,
I made convenience a priority. I over-consumed canned beans
and hummus (with pita chips or crackers), and under-consumed
fresh, low-fat foods like apples, brussels sprouts, and broccoli.
Frozen fruits and vegetables dropped my body temperature just
thinking about the idea. It was another example of getting in a
rut. My biggest challenge was eating the right amount of calories
and flling foods at the right time of day. I commonly found I was
hungry at 8:30 pm as a result of not eating properly at dinnertime.
I started preferring popcorn before bed, and messing up my diges-
tion and sleep practice.
Yes, mistakes happened, but with much happiness. Its a growth
opportunity and a healthier lifestyle in development. As my energy
increases and my blood pressure decreases, Im happy to make
mistakes as each failure demonstrates accomplishing another
phase in my vegan journey. Its not about the hiccups; its about
the healthy lifestyle. Bring on an abundant summer harvest!

Keep pets
comfortable in
warm weather
outside. Be sure to regularly refresh
water bowls so that animals have cool,
refreshing water to drink.
Watch for hot feet. A person who
has walked barefoot across hot pave-
ment knows just how painful it can
be. Although the pads of dogs feet
are thicker than human skin, they are
sensitive as well. Too much walking
across hot surfaces can burn the pads.
Check regularly for redness and gauge
your pets comfort level while walking.
If he is limping or showing distress, its
time to cut the walk short.
Prickly foes. Seeds from foxtails and
other grasses tend to be barbed and
sticky. Cats and dogs may inhale these
seeds or have them lodge in their paws
and coats. If a pet seems to be under
duress afer being outdoors, grass
lawns and burrs could be the culprit.
Seek assistance from a veterinarian.
W
hile many individuals have been counting down
the days until 85-degree weather, pets may not have
been sharing the same enthusiasm. Te hot weather
can bring discomfort to our four-legged friends.
Its widely known that keeping a dog chained up outdoors in
the sun and heat is cruel, as is keeping him locked in a car while
running errands. However, there are many other factors that come
into play regarding keeping pets cool and comfortable when the
mercury rises.
Unlike humans, pets cannot simply shed layers of clothes to cool
down. Nor do they have the communication skills to tell people to
turn up the air conditioning. Its up to pet parents to be in tune with
their pets needs and provide what they require. In order to keep pets
content when the weather is warm, consider these suggestions.
Outdoors
Cool down. Have a source of water for pets to use to cool
down. Tis may be a retired baby pool, a misting hose, even a
damp towel that can be used to rub over a pets coat. Be sure
this water source doesnt pose a drowning threat (i.e., dont
leave a pool of water around young children or puppies).
Offer shade. Te shade can reduce temperatures by several
degrees. When spending considerable time outdoors, have a
shady spot to which both people and pets can retire. If a pet
is an outside animal, be sure there is a covered area that will
ofer generous shade.
Provide cold water to drink. Pets can become dehy-
drated and sufer from heatstroke just like humans can. Some
animals will avoid a bowl of water if it has heated from being
Indoors
Keep it cool. Dont turn of the air conditioning simply
because you wont be home. If its incredibly hot indoors, pets
will become uncomfortable. Keep a ventilation source avail-
able, such as an open window, turned-on ceiling fan or leave
the A/C set to low.
Leave water out. An indoor water bowl is a necessity, too.
Check before leaving the house that there is plenty of water
available to all pets.
Offer comfort. Summertime ofen comes with loud thun-
derstorms, motorcycles passing by or freworks. Tese loud
noises can startle pets. Routinely check on animals to be sure
they arent frightened or doing damage to the house from
being scared. If you will be out, have a neighbor check on the
pet. A radio lef on or a television can help mask the summer
sounds and soothe a scared pet.
Groom the pet. Talk with a groomer to decide on a cut
thats comfortable for the pet. While many people assume
shaving of all fur is the best option, fur actually insulates an
animal. Removing it all can put the pet at risk for sunburn.
Other Tips
Walk dogs early in the morning and in early evening so that
the jaunts take place when the weather is cooler.
If youll be taking a dog along on a hike during warm weather,
be sure to pack enough water for both of you.
Consider the use of dog booties to protect pads from hot
pavement.
Dogs may not be allowed on beaches during the summer
tourist season. Check ahead before
planning a seaside adventure.
Warm weather helps parasites multi-
ply. Dont keep food lef out or it may
attract bugs and become spoiled.
Check with a vet about medica-
tions that can ward of ticks
and feas, which tend to be
in full force during warm
weather.

Somethin to Howl About
14 Natures Pathways

By Trish Poole
If you are alive, your chakras are open and
operating! Tey may not be operating opti-
mally at all times, but they are open. I have
sometimes heard people comment that
someone has told them that their chakras
are closed. If a chakra is truly closed 100
percent, death is imminent so more ofen
than not it is an inaccurate description of
the condition of the chakra. How they are
operating is afected by diverse variables
unique to each person. Tey are commonly
afected by intense emotional experiences
in either a positive or negative way. If it is
a traumatic experience the efect is imme-
diate. If it is a behavior or belief that is
generated from an
intense experience, it
will become more of a
chronic efect on the
fow of energy in the
respective chakra.
Each chakra reso-
nates or vibrates to
a corresponding
musical note and
color frequency, start-
ing with white light
entering our energetic
system. Each of us is like a prism for the
white light because as it enters our system
it lights up our crown to violet, our third
eye to indigo, our throat to blue, our heart
center to emerald green, our solar plexus
to yellow, our sacral area to orange and our

How are your

chakras?
root chakra to red. It is interesting to note
that the respective colors of the chakras
follow natural law as it relates to defracting
light into a rainbow; a confrmation that
chakras are not contrived by new-agers but
an ancient truth of the human condition in
that their resonance follows natural law.
Chakras metabolize energy and help
us to sense our environment around us
by taking in energy and sending it out. It
is possible for one or more chakras to be
operating less than optimally which is
something an energy worker (Reiki, recon-
nective healing, Jin Shin Jitsu, therapeutic
touch, etc.) can help balance through an
energy healing session.
To someone who is highly clairvoyant
(has psychic vision), a chakra looks like a
vortex with many smaller ones within it. A
vortex looks like a tornado or how water
forms a funnel when it goes down a drain.
Te word chakra comes from Sanskrit,
an ancient language from the territories
that pre-date India. Sanskrit is to Hindi, as
Latin is to English. It means something like
wheel or vortex, and while we have thou-
sands of chakras, there are seven major
ones that are most commonly referred to
in the mainstream. Understanding chakras
and what each represents is integral to
understanding the human energy body.
Over the last 20 years, more and more
people are becoming familiar with the
terms and chakra, resonance and aura
and they are ever more mainstream.
By learning about chakras, what they are
and how they work, it is generally easier to
better understand and manage ones own
energy and potentially ones overall health.
Tere are many types of treatments that
support healthy energy fow for chakras
that many of us do intuitively without
even realizing it and other treatments that
you can receive from energy workers. For
example, just going out into nature and
enjoying its simple beauty, fresh air and
birdsongs can clear many of the chakras;
a mother rubbing a childs back can help
to strengthen and clear the childs chakras.
A more immediate and powerful way to
strengthen and clear your chakras is to do
Reiki, acu-tuning, acupuncture, or some
type of energy work.

H
ow can we reconcile feng shui with religion? Like any
religion is intended to do, feng shui, or the awareness
of natural laws, can help a person live life to their
fullest potential. Even though feng shui is considered
an ancient Eastern art that was well practiced in early times, it is
seeing a revival today in the West because of its profound, life-
changing results.
I recently gave a talk about feng shui, the art of placement of
furnishings in our environment, and I was struck by the questions
many of the participants asked me. Tey either had never heard of
feng shui or thought that it was a religion. I saw the hesitation of
some of them to even approach me because they seemed unsure
of how feng shui would afect them or their religious beliefs.
First of all, I think its important to understand that feng shui
is not a religion. It is the recognition of the natural laws of earth,
and when we become aware of them and apply them to our living
space or work environment, we can beneft from the gifs this
awareness ofers. Like gravity and the law of cause and efect, these
patterns of energy exist whether or not we believe in them; then,
by awakening to these patterns the gif that feng shui ofers
we are able to fully embrace a better life, exactly what the Creator
intended for us.
Feng shui is based on the Taoist philosophy that everything is
energy, or chi, according to the Chinese. Tere is no god in feng
shui, however, there is a recognition of the power that connects
and guides us, known as the laws of nature or the source of life.
We use this invisible chi regardless if we are aware of it or not.

Feng Shui
and religion
What Feng Shui is
(and what it isnt)
Feng shui (fung schway) trans-
lated as wind and water, has been
practiced in China for more than 3,000
years. this environmental art and
science sees the world as completely
alive, with all things buildings,
streets, and furnishings connected
in a dynamic relationship that inu-
ences all we experience. the growing
popularity of feng shui in the West is
the result of its extraordinary effect
on people, including improved health,
rewarding relationships, and an
increase in happiness and prosperity.
What is
Feng Shui?
As awakened beings, we then apply these feng shui principles into
our home and of ce designs and as we do, we actually become
directors of this energy to bring about specifc results in our life.
Aware or not, the energies of nature have a great infuence
on us. Te moons phases are said to directly afect our moods
and womens menses. Living in natural settings and nourishing
ourselves with natural foods strengthens our bodies. All of these
things happen regardless of our religion.
Feng shui ofers an awareness for us to excel and prosper in life.
We must respect and understand the ways of nature, and when we
live by them, we can progress and evolve into who we are intended
to be. Tis is the basic purpose of feng shui: to live our best life
on earth.
In the various religions of the world, man has created diferent
names and images for God this higher intelligence, or divine
source. However, at the root of most religions is a similar goal
to believe in a higher divine intelligence that creates and protects
us, ofering guidance when we seek it.
In the practice of prayer and meditation we are using our
thoughts to communicate with God, or the omniscient power by
whatever name we choose to call it. In our prayers we seek such
desires and qualities as peace of mind, wealth, health and
happiness for ourselves or for our loved ones.
In feng shui, our thoughts are actual things that have
an energy or frequency that can infuence our objectives.
Tis power is cultivated through meditation and creative
visualization to bring about our goals and desires, such as
personal success or the health of a loved one. Te practice of feng
shui then is wisely utilizing a natural, God-given gif. We simply
need to be aware of the blessing.

Shui consultant. Her passion is helping people fnd their
path to living a happier, more fulflling life. Please see her

us to excel and prosper in life.

Tis Average Jane column is slightly diferent from what I have
written in the past as I wanted to share the point of view of someone
who sufers from lymphedema and chronic pain, two conditions
that I personally do not have. Tis is the story of a woman who
sought treatment from Jennie Kitelinger, MOT, OTR, CLT, and
founder of Quality Terapy, which ofers in-home therapy for
people sufering from chronic pain and other medical issues.
Jennie founded Quality Terapy because she saw a need for
in-home therapy in the area. She says that at her previous job she
ofen saw patients who had to use Medivans or wheel chairs due to
mobility problems as a result of pain, swelling or obesity.
I hated seeing the looks on their faces because of their embar-
rassment about not being as independent as they wanted to be,
she says. I wanted to help patients be more comfortable and be
able to help them in their homes.
Jennie recalls one woman who was struggling with obesity, who
well call Susan. Susan had tried on her own to lose weight and had
been to numerous doctors to get help for her problem. Te doctors
continued to tell her she was just fat and declared her home-
bound. Needless to say, Susan was very discouraged. One day, a
friend stopped by to visit. Suspecting there was more to the issue
than obesity, she asked to see Susans legs. Susan was very embar-
rassed, but afer some convincing revealed her legs.
It seemed Susan sufered from chronic swelling that had turned
into lymphedema, a condition of localized fuid retention and
tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system.
Te lymph system is connected to the immune system, Jennie
explained. It made sense as to why she was having so many
immune issues as well. We convinced her to see her doctor for the
correct diagnosis, and he confrmed our suspicions.
Shortly thereafer, a treatment plan was devised. Jennie went
to Susans home and did a thorough evaluation to determine the
specifcs of her concerns and measure the areas to be treated. Due
to the severity of the situation, Jennie determined Susan needed
treatment fve days a week for the frst two weeks. Treatment tech-
niques included lymphatic massages combined with pneumatic
pump therapy to get the fuid to recirculate back in the system.
Compression wraps for both legs were also applied to help keep
the fuid from back fowing into the leg.
Amazingly, over the next four weeks, Susan lost 70 pounds of
fuid! She was so relieved to discover that she wasnt just over-
weight, and that she had a treatable medical issue. Tree months
later, Jennie was able to decrease treatments to twice a week. Susan
also uses her own pump between treatments due to the sever-
ity of her condition. She continues to receive manual massages
and wraps. Now, down a total of 100 pounds, Quality Terapy is
helping Susan learn how to live a more normal life, as well as eat
a more nutritious diet. (She was down to one meal a day
because so many people had told her that she simply had
been overeating.) Susan can now go to the bathroom alone
and use a walker.
Susans story has a very happy ending. If you or someone
you know sufers from chronic pain, lymphedema, diges-
tive issues, fbromyalgia, arthritis, migraines anything
that troubles you that you cannot seem to get relief from
give Jennie a call at 920.462.4583 or email jkitelinger@
new.rr.com. In many cases, treatment is covered by insur-
ance or Medicare. For more information, visit www.quality-
therapy.com.

20 Natures Pathways

By Terry Lemerond
Staying energized and keeping ft can be
tough especially if youre not getting the
nutrients you need. But while we tend to
look for new miracle herbs or nutrients, it
can be easy to forget about the basics like
ingredients found in liver, for instance.
You may not eat liver because of the taste,
concerns about cholesterol or toxins. Tats
understandable. Te smell and favor of liver
can make it an acquired taste, and people
may have fears about toxins in the liver
due to antibiotics or other environmental
factors. But youre missing out on important
energizing nutrients,
including iron and
vitamin B12.
Get back to the basics
get your absorbable iron!
Maybe you dont believe iron is very
important anymore. But if youre an active
person, you burn up your stores of iron
quickly. In fact, many people sufer from an
iron defciency without even knowing it.
Nonetheless, simply running out and
picking up any old iron supplement is not the
answer. Many of them arent well tolerated
or absorbed by the body. For instance, iron
sulfate, iron fumarate and iron gluconate are
extremely difcult to digest. Plus, only about
2 mg of iron even from 200 mg of these
forms will actually reach the bloodstream.
For a natural, more absorbable form of
iron, liver is the best. It contains heme iron,
a form of iron attached to hemoglobin, the
protein that transports energizing oxygen
to muscle cells. Te great thing about heme
iron is that up to 33 percent of the quantity of

heme iron ingested can be absorbed, versus
about 1 percent absorption of iron salts.
Te best liver extracts come from beef
cattle raised without any chemical sprays,
pesticides or antibiotics on the grassy plains
of Argentina. Also, youll want a predi-
gested form of liver extract which is broken
down to be more readily absorbed by the
body. And, unlike eating liver, a concen-
trated extract (one using 20 lbs. of liver to
make 1 lb. of extract) doesnt have any fat or
cholesterol.
Combine with vitamin B12
for even more benefts:
Combine this natural liver extract with
methylcobalamin. Tats the highly absorb-
able form of vitamin B12 that requires no
biological transformation because it is
made ready for absorption.
Symptoms of B12 defciency include:
tiredness and feelings of weakness, irritabil-
ity, vision difculties, loss of appetite, poor
memory, brittle nails and prematurely graying
hair. Vitamin B12 can help if you sufer from
sleeping difculties, too. It plays a role in
melatonin production (the sleep hormone)
that helps you get the rest you need.
While meats, poultry, eggs, fsh, brewers
yeast, dairy products and seafood can
provide vitamin B12, you could eat all
of these, and still have a defciency of the
vitamin. Tats because your digestive
system may lack a protein called intrin-
sic factor that converts a common form of
vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, to the meth-
ylcobalamin form that the body uses best.
Folic acid a key partner
to vitamin B12
Another key member of the vitamin
B family is folic acid. Symptoms of folate
defciency have a lot in common with B12
defciency: fatigue and irritability, muscle
weakness and headache.
Because many of the processed foods
that are fortifed with folic acid are grains-
based, individuals with gluten sensitivi-
ties arent likely to get the folate they need
through diet alone. And although folate is
found in dark leafy greens, broccoli, cauli-
fower, and pinto beans, the absorption of
folate from these sources is only about half
of what youd get from folic acid.
Folic acid works with vitamin B12 to
reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid
that can damage the cardiovascular system
and collagen the cushioning material
between the joints. It is an excellent choice to
add to your active supplement regimen for
energy and healthy exercise recovery.
Tis combination of nutrients can help
correct any defciencies that may have
been slowing you down. Itll provide better
natural energy, reduce fatigue and recovery
time from exercise, provide a sense of well-
being and a host of other benefts. If you feel
that your workout (or just your busy days in
general) need a boost, it really can pay to go
back to the basics!

Since coming to the Ashwaubenon Good-
will store fve years ago through a special
needs program at Green Bay Southwest
High School, Nolan Blecha has gained both
confdence and work skills.
In recognition of the progress he has
made, the Green Bay man has been named
the Outstanding Achiever for May by
Goodwill Industries of North Central
Wisconsin (NCW).
Blecha, who has some developmental
problems, was referred to Goodwills Work
Services program through Brown County
Human Services. Work Services is a longer-
term training program for people
with disabilities and utilizes Good-
will as a worksite to develop their
work skills and behaviors.
Carol Daniels-Turston, acting
store team leader for the
Ashwaubenon Goodwill, said when
Blecha frst started at the store, he
worked with team member Debbi Yahnke
in the home goods and glassware depart-
ment where he put prices on items and
then moved the items onto the retail foor.
A few years later, when Yahnke transferred
to the apparel department, Blecha wanted to
transfer, too, so he could continue working
with her. In the beginning, he struggled
with sizing the clothing and knowing which
apparel was mens or womens, or boys or
girls. However, he has since begun to four-
ish in his new role.

Nolan Blecha named a
Goodwill Outstanding
Achiever
Turston said. Trough hard work and
commitment, he has overcome some of the
earlier challenges he faced with the move
and now wants to learn how to tag apparel.
During Blechas time with Goodwill, team
members have seen his willingness to learn
and improve his skills, and his positive atti-
tude in approaching any task.
Since joining Goodwill, Nolan has
learned the importance of working as part
of a team, Daniels-Turston said. He
always has a smile on his face and is very
committed to his work. His presence at the
store really motivates all of us because we
see what Nolan achieves every day, and that
he is truly committed to doing a good job.
According to Blecha, he likes all of the
team members I work with, and I enjoy the
work I do in apparel.
His parents, who are both teachers, have
told Daniels-Turston how pleased they
are with the experience their son is getting
through Goodwill and the Ashwaubenon
store, and how comfortable they are in
knowing he is in an environment where
people truly care about him.
In addition to working at Goodwill,
Blecha is involved in Special
Olympics and, earlier this year,
took second place in basketball.
He also plays soccer and bowls.
All of us are very proud of
Nolan and his accomplish-
ments and are delighted that
he has been selected as Good-
wills Outstanding Achiever for
May, Daniels-Turston said.
Each month, Goodwill
NCW selects a volunteer or a
program participant like Blecha
for its Outstanding Achiever
recognition. Te honorees come from one
of Goodwills 22 store communities, its
Menasha campus or its Ralph B. Shiner
Center in Appleton.
Keith Wilk, COO of Programs & Services
at Goodwill NCW, said the awards are a way
for the organization to recognize the strides
that our program participants have made,
in part, because of the services provided
through our Goodwill. Each honoree
receives a certifcate of achievement and
Goodwill merchandise.

Turston at cdanielsthurston_gw@gwicc.

Question: It seems that more and more people are taking fsh
oil these days. Is this something you recommend?
Answer: Youre absolutely right fsh oil is becoming very
popular, and for good reason. Tere are a number of health bene-
fts associated with this supplement and, if experts had to choose
between fsh oil supplementation and a daily multivitamin/
mineral, more and more would probably steer you toward fsh oil.
First of all, the Omega-3 fatty acids in fsh oil are generally consi-
dered anti-infammatory, while Omega-6 fatty acids are conside-
red pro-infammatory. Unfortunately, traditional western diets
are much higher in Omega-6s compared to Omega-3s, so trying
to incorporate more
Omega-3s into your diet is just good
common sense. In addition, Omega-3s have been shown to lower
triglycerides levels, reduce heart attack and stroke risk, slow the
build-up of artery plagues and slightly lower blood pressure. And
if thats not enough, they have also been studied extensively for
their neuroprotective efects related to Parkinsons, Alzheimers
and depression. If you decide to supplement with fsh oil, typical
dosages start at 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA (the two prominent
fatty acids) per day. Its also a good idea to incorporate at least two
servings of low-mercury, fatty fsh per week.
Question: Can you provide a little refresher on working out
when youre sick?
Answer: Everyone seems to have a
diferent opinion on this, but heres the
scoop. You ofen hear people say that
working out is fne if its just a head cold
stufy nose, coughing and other stuf that
you dont like, but can deal with. Tis is
generally true, but if you have a fever, body
aches or other more serious symptoms, you
should leave the exercising to the rest of us.
Tis philosophy is actually pretty sound,
but consider these issues as well. When Im
working out, I dont really want people that
are sneezing and coughing around me
and I would guess you dont either. Plus, I
like to work out with intensity, and I put
a premium on the quality of my exercise.
Terefore, I would rather rest up for a day
or two, even if I just have a head cold. Ten,
when I get back to exercising, I can pick-up
right where I lef of. Ultimately, the deci-
sion is in your hands, so do whats best for
you!

Question: I have several friends that follow some of the
popular workouts that you ofen see touted in infomercials and on
the internet. Is there anything special about these workouts? Do
you think its worth the money to invest in one?
Answer: Tats a good question. I have a few friends that have
followed P90X and some other popular programs as well. Here
are my thoughts. Many of these programs are just practical adap-
tations of some of the latest and greatest ftness research, ofen
coupled with some traditional exercise equipment. Add an expert
with a vibrant personality, and youve got a recipe for a successful
program. Do these types of programs work? Sure, if you follow
the program, stay committed and push yourself (though the
expert is usually pretty good at that, too). Tat said, I wouldnt
say theres anything special about them. Many (but not all) are
simply spin-ofs of Body Pump, with some high-intensity interval
training thrown in for good measure. Tis type of training works
well regardless of whether you follow a structured program or not.
Plus, I would argue that a certifed personal trainer at your local
health club could design a better workout for you, simply because
its personalized. Teyll take into account your personal health
statistics, ftness level, time constraints, and many other variables.
And theyll be there with you through it all in person! So, is
it worth the money to purchase one of these programs? It might
be, but your success really depends much more on you, and how
dedicated you are to reaching your goals.

As the owner of the areas organic lawn
care company, I get around a lot. I put on
more than 100 miles a day serving the entire
Fox Valley and beyond. Every day I see a lot
of signs: For Sale, Rummage Sale, etc.
Te signs I really hate to see are the Pesti-
cide Application signs! Have you ever read
those signs? Tey usually say something
like Danger, Keep of the Grass. Tey say
you must not walk on the grass for a period
of 24 hours, and this is meant for kids and
pets as well. Why do we put these horrible
chemicals on the lawn, if even the company
youve hired tells you its a bad idea? Why
do we risk cancer, Parkinsons disease, pet
death, childhood illnesses, allergy issues,
and thyroid conditions for a nice looking
lawn? Obviously the lawn is not healthy,
because we are showering it with deadly
chemicals.
You know whats even scarier? Te lawns
without signs. In those cases, there are no
warnings of imminent death! Tis may
mean that the owner went to the local hard-
ware store and picked up some of that Do
It Yourself product. (By the way, the stuf
in that bag is the same stuf at the hard-
ware store in Minnesota and Florida, even
though our Wisconsin grass is diferent.)
Did you know that in most cases that
fertilizer, or weed and feed; is about 20
percent diesel fuel? Not only are you
risking the health of your family, pets and
neighbors, you are also supporting higher
gas prices and rich oil companies! Tats

safe lawn
right: when you use chemical lawn care
products, be it from a lawn care company
or a four-step program from the hardware
store, you are actually supporting Ameri-
cas dependence on oil. Even worse, afer
the treatment dries, it becomes airborne
and continues its devastation. (And by
the way, weed and feed is an oxymoron.
Chemical pesticides kill grass seed as well
as weed seed!)
Take a look at my sign. It says No Pesti-
cides have been applied! It says its safe to
walk, work and play on the lawn. Tats
because customized organic lawn care will
not kill you, plain and simple.
So, lets summarize
If you see one of those guys signs, stay
away from that lawn! Tis means that that
lawn is extremely dangerous, even accord-
ing to them! Ten again, if you see one of
my signsyoure good, its safe! Tear out
this article, and give it to your neighbor
who is using these companies or products.

Tere is growing concern that many Americans are not
adequately preparing for their retirement years. According to a
study conducted by Rand, an independent, nonproft organization
from California, too many Americans are not saving for their retire-
ment and, literally, risk running out of money too soon. Many have
absolutely no savings or debt-free assets; many have less than $1,000.
As our nations 60 million baby boomers inch nearer to retirement
each year, they face crucial retirement planning decisions. Most people are
just not setting aside nearly enough money to sustain the lifestyle they now
experience. However, with personal discipline and commitment, goal setting, and

some simple assistance in making wise spending, saving and
investment choices, most people would be amazed at how quickly
their personal assets will grow.
Anyone who wants to enjoy a fnancially secure retirement, and
not have to work, must understand and implement four savings
and investment basics:
Develop a realistic monthly management plan for your 1.
income (a household budget), which includes ongoing
regular savings, even if a small amount;
Start saving as early as possible preferably in your 20s or 2.
30s, taking the fullest advantage possible of tax-deferred
compounding (long-term growth with taxes paid in
retirement);
Stick with your savings plan; 3.
As your savings increase to levels which can be maximized 4.
through active investments, understand your personal toler-
ance level for investment risks.
Tanks to the increased IRA contribution levels created by the
Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, there
has never been a better time to save money for your retirement
years. For individuals age 50 and older you have an opportunity
to make catch-up contributions. Catch-up contributions provide
individuals with an opportunity to exceed standard contribution
limits. I would strongly encourage everyone to contribute the
maximum amount to a Traditional or Roth IRA each year.

Across the nation, board-certifed plastic surgeons with strong general surgery backgrounds
are becoming involved with delivering total vein care to patients. Tis comprehensive approach
delivers natural-looking and pain-free results. As patients are becoming more aware of vein
disease, they have a desire to evaluate multiple vein treatment options to treat their painful
and cosmetically bothersome veins.
Getting to the root cause
For many years, plastic surgeons have treated small, cosmetic spider veins.
Patients would also present with additional vein issues later on, ofen causing
new spider veins to return. In order to provide the best long-term care to
patients, board-certifed plastic surgeons began receiving specialized
training to treat the root cause of many vein issues, the large veins

responsible for afecting overall circulation and health. With their
extensive and decades-long experience in laser technology, taking
care of large veins with RF waves and specialized lasers is a natural
ft for these surgeons.
Large vein issues and treatments
Large veins in the legs can be prone to deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) when blood clots form. Patients also develop venous refux
disease when the valves in the veins stop functioning or become
damaged. Te saphenous vein, running from the foot to the groin,
is ofen afected by these issues. For some patients, the pain they feel
is hard to describe. Tey describe heaviness, like they are walking
with weights on their legs. Tenderness, itching, burning or throb-
bing in the leg may also occur if clots partially or completely block
the vein. Many patients minimize their symptoms, as they dont
remember when their legs felt good.
More than one non-invasive treatment option is available to treat
large veins. Each patient responds diferently, so it is important to
choose a board-certifed plastic surgeon ofering more than one
solution, including VNUS closure and advanced laser technology.
With VNUS closure, the board-certifed plastic surgeon uses
ultrasound to scan the leg(s), to see if venous disease is present. A
tiny closure catheter is inserted into the diseased vein, delivering
radio-frequency (RF) energy light to the vein wall. Te energy heats
the vein from the inside out, causing it to close. Once the vein is
closed, blood reroutes to other healthy veins.
Laser treatment of large veins involves an intense localized pulse
of light targeting the afected area. Te surgeon may choose a
combination of VNUS and laser during the procedure to achieve
the best result. Regardless of the options used, patients resume
normal activities within days of the procedure.
Small and thread vein treatments
Board-certifed plastic surgeons with vein expertise can treat
large and small veins in a few of ce-based appointments. Tey
implement secondary closure techniques, such as microstab phle-
bectomy, to treat smaller veins. Te skin is numbed over bulging
veins and the surgeon removes a small section. Te echosclerother-
apy procedure is also popular and efective, with a solution injected
to close the vein under ultrasound guidance.
Te tiniest of veins, thread veins, can also be treated by a board-
certifed plastic surgeon with vein expertise. Veinwave technology
uses microwave energy to heat the vessels and is efective in delicate
areas such as the ankles and the nose.
When considering treatment of big and small veins, it is impor-
tant to evaluate a practice based on the experience of the board-
certifed plastic surgeon and his or her philosophy regarding total
vein care. Te end result of doing your homework and asking
specifc questions during a consultation will mean healthy and
beautiful legs for you.
Dr. David Janssen is a board-certifed plastic surgeon with Fox Valley Plastic
Surgery, based in Oshkosh. Te practice, co-owned by Dr. David Janssen and Dr.
William Doubek, ofers facial aesthetics, breast surgery, body contouring, advanced

Remember how you dug into the box of your favorite cereal
to fnd the toy surprise promised on the package? Or maybe you
ignored the candy-coated popcorn and peanuts in the Crackerjack
box to fnd the prize wrapped in the white wrapper. It was so excit-
ing, just waiting to see what surprise treasure awaited you. Geodes
are just like that special prize you uncover the outside to fnd
the treasure within.
Geodes are spherical-shaped rocks which contain hollowed
cavities. Looking less than spectacular on the outside, the cavities
are flled with crystals. No one is like another.
Te geodes began as bubbles in a volcanic rock, mud balls in
sedimentary rock, or animal burrows. As time passed, the outer
shell hardened to the shape of the original organic form and
inevitably the water which contained silica formed on the inside
walls. Over thousands of years layers were formed inside as water
containing a variety of minerals entered the cavity, and then hard-
ened growing towards the center. As it cooled, layer upon layer,
beautiful formations occurred creating the crystal surprise inside
the geode that we fnd today.
Each geode contains the property of the mineral that is found
inside, as well as other general properties. Geodes help aid in
those elements associated with thought and the physical brain.
Tey will aid in both the study and comprehension of mathemat-
ics and enhance the communication skills. Increased prowess in
the analysis of facts is added with geodes. Tis gives one the ability

then plan ones future. Te big

On an esoteric level, geodes
will enhance the facilitation
of astral travel. Tey will also
aid in the connection of one
to the higher forces and to
the higher planes of existence.
Tey may act as a bridge to
those seekers of like goals and
pursuits. In that connection
relationship is found between
those in a community; just as
a community of crystals is
in the geode, the geode aids
in creation of the unity of the
people among themselves.
Physical maladies may be addressed by healers using geodes to
treat brain disease and tumors. Also, geodes help in the assistance
of one to correct mental imbalances. Te healing of hands, lungs
and nervous system may be aided by geodes.
When geodes are totally flled in with mineral formations they
are referred to as nodules. Nodules may be equally stunning to
geodes. Varying from formation to formation, you will be amazed
at what may be inside these rocks.
So, for a grown-up surprise that rivals the joy you felt as a child
fnding the prize inside the cereal box, discover the beauty and awe
of a geode. Teres nothing like it!

Hyperbaric medicine is the delivery
of pure oxygen while seated inside a
pressurized chamber. It had its start in the
world of scuba diving when divers that
surfaced too quickly got decompression
sickness. Since those early beginnings,
doctors and health professionals have
discovered many uses for hyperbaric
medicine.
Hyperbaric medicine has been efective
in treating:
Decompression sickness and air
embolism
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Problem wounds
Compromised skin grafs and faps
Crush injury and compartment
syndrome
Anemia
Refractory osteomyelitis
Complications of radiation therapy
Termal burns
Some of the other
health issues that have also been helped by
hyperbaric medicine are:
Autism
Stroke
Lyme disease
Heart disease
Multiple sclerosis
Cerebral palsy
Allergies
Arthritis
Some clients seek out hyperbaric
medicine before playing a sport, to fght a
common cold, or to combat fatigue.
Check with your doctor as to whether
you would be a good candidate for
hyperbaric treatments. Ten, its time to
seek treatment. Sometimes treatments are
covered by insurance and you may have
them administered by your hospital. If
not, you still have options. Free-standing
hyperbaric facilities treat clients that would
like to go ahead with hyperbarics even if it
is not covered by their insurance. Locally,
Green Bay Hyperbarics has been helping
clients take charge of their health for the
past decade. Hyperbaric medicine is an
exciting feld and a way to breathe your way
to better health.

ollowing your hearts desire can be tricky. Trusting your
intuitive gut feeling can be scary. Taking that leap of
faith that everyone talks about to get what youve always
wanted or where youve always want to go takes courage
that we dont always possess.
Living a life guided by Spirit in a human body with human
emotions like fear can be a very exhausting undertaking. I for one
know that if I would quit my job because I had faith that something
better was in store for me, come bill-paying day, faith wasnt going
to be paying the bills.
Now, I consider myself a spiritual person. I believe that Spirit
(by any name), the angels, our guides and a whole host of heavenly
beings are here to assist us in this human experience. I also believe
that we have to ask when we are in need and have faith that we are
heard.
But how do we live with one foot on earth and the other entrusted
in the spiritual realm? How do we still have a sense of grounding
but trust our intuitive guidance?
Read on because were about to fnd out together! If youre
reading this and weve gotten this far then that means Ive decided
to take that leap of faith! As of this very moment that Im writing
this, its been two weeks since Ive given my notice to my full-time
employer of 11 years. I no longer have a job. I no longer have a boss.
I no longer have a steady paycheck!
Let me frst say its an amazing feeling of freedom and release.
Its the frst time in my adult life that Ive taken such a risk with
my familys fnancial stability. Tat is the scary part. But the over-
whelming feeling of being in control of this choice is amazing!
Just a little background, I am now a mother of two. Our son is 1
year and 8 months old and our daughter is a mere 5 weeks old! Even
before our son was born I knew that I wanted to be home with our
children but I also knew that I would still need to help contribute to
our familys fnancial health. Unfortunately, my plans didnt go as I
wanted. Tis is something that Ive come to accept in my life because
nothing goes as planned, not my plans anyway, only Gods plans and
his timing. I ended up going back to work afer our little guy was only
a month old. My heart broke and I vowed I would not let that happen
if we chose to have another child. Again, the plan was to only go
back for a short time, but as you already know that turned out to be a
year and a half worth of missed time with our son.
Now afer taking this courageous leap of faith and trust, my belief
is that in order for our helpers to actually assist us in this earthly
journey, we have to allow them to help. By this I mean to close one
door so that another may open. When our cup is already too full,
how are we able to welcome with open arms any sort of change?
And by helpers I mean the spiritual kind as well as our human
counter parts. We cant always recognize an angel in disguise.

Follow your
hearts desire
of nowhere when we least expect it, so never question a random
act of kindness.
Tose random acts are by no means random. Remember when
I said that we have to ask when we are in need? By asking we are
opening ourselves up to any and all possibilities. We may have a
specifc picture or plan in our heads of just how it should happen
but what may surprise us is that we may have similar results by
a completely diferent way of getting there. Again, its out of our
hands. We just have to hold tight to faith and trust.
You may wonder why Ive mentioned this faith and trust thing
more than once. Well you see, Im just reminding myself of it as
well. For some, including myself, trusting in the unseen while
having faith without doubt and fear on a daily basis can be nearly
impossible. Tats why if Im able to take this leap of faith and follow
my heart, anyone can do it! And Im glad that I did because now I
can help others as well.
I started writing this well before I made my decision to follow my
heart so I had no idea where the thoughts and words were taking
me. Once the decision was made I knew I wanted to share this
experience with others and the words started to fow. I want to let
other people know that it is safe to follow your heart!
I still dont have a plan. I still dont know where this journey is
taking me. I do know that Ill never have to live with the heaviness
and burden of regret! As this journey unfolds I can share my expe-
riences with others and encourage them to take that leap of faith! I
may stumble. I may fall. I may even fail but now I know I have the
courage it takes to trust my hearts desire.
As I research options that come my way and search for opportuni-
ties that catch my interest, I keep several things in mind. First and
foremost: if my heart is not in it, it wont work for me or my family.
Second, listen to my intuitive voice, it wont steer me wrong. If some-
thing doesnt feel right, dont follow it. And third, keep an open mind
as not all things are as they appear. What once wasnt an option or an
interest might suddenly be exactly what I am looking for!
As I continue this newfound sense of freedom and release, I will
admit the fear and doubt still have a tendency to creep in. I keep
my family and friends close at hand because I know they support
me. Tey will remind me why I chose this path when Im feeling
frustrated or scared. Tey will remind me to take a look into my
childrens eyes and feel their love. One day I will be able to share
with them this experience and be an example for them! Which
reminds me to look past that fear and doubt and see all of the posi-
tive energy that has already come out of this choice. A choice that I
once thought I didnt have the courage to make!
Tere is so much talk about being, seeing and feeling the posi-
tive energy in all things so that we continue to attract that positive
energy into our lives. But take it from me, the only way to attract
positive energy is to live it and if your heart isnt in it, you wont see
it, feel it or fnd it! And it wont fnd you!
So fnd that courage that we all do possess and take that leap of
faith! You wont regret it and your heart will thank you for it!

By Victoria L. Huss
I
was at Garden of the Gods Park in
Colorado Springs when I got the
phone call. Te caller asked if I was
sitting down because she had grave
news. I listened and braced myself for the
impact. As she shared what she knew, my
traveling companion could tell that some-
thing was very wrong by my shaking hands
and trembling voice. By the time the call
ended, I was completely devastated. Te
woman who had given birth to me had
died at the age of 49.
I cried for days straight right up until her
funeral. Reading a letter to her and saying
good-bye just did not seem like an appro-
priate resolution to our rich and compli-
cated history. I had been torn open by
shock and white hot grief
and found little solace in
the condolences of family
and friends. A week later,
I returned to my life and
attempted to keep pace with
everyone else. Ruminating
in a thick soup of despair, I only found my
entire body wracked with pain.
Unable to cope with such an intense physi-
cal reminder of my loss, I sought out relief
through Rolfng Structural Integration (SI).
I will never forget the sensations of my body
when I frst lay there on the table. My body felt
like a gigantic cubist Picasso painting. As the
Rolfer set and held
space for me, I could
fnally feel how ener-
getically disembodied
I was. My arms felt as
if they were pulled out
and foating on the
ceiling. My legs were
also disconnected and
pulled into diferent
corners of the room. I
could not feel my feet.
I began to realize that
my mothers death had literally fractured and
shattered me.
As my Rolfng SI session progressed,
I could feel the fractured and disembo-
died parts of myself begin to connect and
integrate. Once integrated, I could fnally
release and transform deep sobs of grief
that had previously kept me swirling in
such a disorienting cloud of despair. When
I stood up for the frst time afer my session,
I was clearly back on my line. I could feel
the support of the ground beneath my feet
for the frst time in weeks. Regaining my
footing helped me to fnd peace and relief
from my grief.
Dr. Ida Rolf, the founder of Rolfng SI had
once said, Emotions are intimately invol-
ved with our muscular tone. Tey refect the
state of balance or imbalance in our bodies,
i.e., the relationship of our body to the feld
of gravity. Te intense emotions I faced in
the two weeks afer
my mothers death
had pulled me out
of balance. Trying
to cope by ignoring
and burying these
emotions pulled me
even further out of
balance. By aligning
my body, I was better
able to align my mind
and fully process my
emotions in a much
more healthful, healing way. With the help
of Rolfng SI, I returned to my life as an
active and vibrant participant.
In honor of Susan Ann Gottlieb. Tank
you for giving me life.

By Deborah Williamson
People ofen ask me why Ive called my
style of life coaching Yoga Life Coaching.
Afer more than 25 years working in yoga,
while also mentoring and coaching both
in corporate and private client settings, Ive
found that combining yoga and life coaching
makes a whole lot of sense.
Traditionally, both coaches and counsel-
ors relate to their clients as human beings,
but as a Yoga Life Coach, I shif my focus
to coaching the Higher Beings in my clients.
Relating to my clients as Higher Beings has
an immediate efect on their ability to receive
coaching and move forward in the coach-
ing relationship. Tis is the driving principle
behind Yoga Life Coaching.
So what IS a Higher Being?
A Higher Being can be described as a state
of mind in which client (and coach):
Have no wrong understanding
Have no limitations
Have endless energy
Are timeless
A person who is living and acting solely
as a human being is the exact opposite of the
above; someone who has many misunder-
standings, limits and excuses; who is always
tired and short on time, money and support.
Many of our clients enter coaching relation-
ships from this perspective and will defend it
vehemently.
Newer coaches inadvertently trap their
clients in this state by coaching to a specifc
outcome or end result. Tis approach leads
to stagnation and eventual frustration. It is
our job, as coach, to fip the switch so that
clients experience themselves and others as
Higher Beings capable of anything and
already perfect with endless choices and
possibilities to pursue.
Lets take this a bit further. Have you ever
gone into work early in the morning and in
one short hour accomplished more than you
were able to do in the entire day previous?
If so, you were operating from your Higher
Being with endless energy and possibility
not limited by time or anything else.
On the fip side, perhaps you have also
experienced a day when your list of things
to do is fve miles long, and everyone and
everything is deliberately standing in your
way. You accomplish nothing and feel tired
and powerless. Tis is your experience as a
Human Being.
We ARE all human beings, but when we
enter the inspired state of Higher Being we
truly and accurately believe that anything is
possible, and we make it so. As a life coach, it
is part of your continuing education to prac-
tice this shif in yourself. If you feel tired and
annoyed, you are living as a human being. How
will you shif to the state of Higher Being?
Tese distinctions of human versus Higher
Being are rooted in the yogic theory of TKV
Desikachar and also in Patanjalis Yoga
Deborah Williamson and her team of Yoga Life Coaches
offer you greater well-being, growth and total happiness.
Determine your deepest dreams and next steps on the
way there (and beyond)! Setting a target is the frst step
uncover endless possibilities beyond your initial goals.

Coaching to the Higher Being

Sutras. Tis same theory can be found in
hundreds of more recent texts as well, from
Wayne Dyer to Byron Katie.
It is also in the IAC Coaching Masteries,
most specifcally in Mastery #2: Perceiving,
af rming and expanding the clients poten-
tial (seeing the client as a Higher Being).
And so as you begin to make distinctions
around these two states in your own life, you
have access to a fail-proof tool for coaching
your clients.
Whether you use the terms human or
Higher Being with your clients or not,
(and I dont), you can point out the difer-
ence between the two as you see them and
encourage your clients to do the same. Tis
understanding in and of itself is instantly
life-changing. As clients create from their
own Higher Being, they begin to see others
in their lives existing in the same, efortless
state. It is impossible to stay stuck in the
state of human being while recognizing the
Higher Being in another.
Heres an example of how this might appear
in one of your client sessions, when coaching
a client through a dif cult relationship.
Your client might say about her partner,
He doesnt love me unconditionally.
As a coach, you will question this state-
ment. What makes you believe he doesnt
love you unconditionally? Is this really
true? Upon further questioning, the client
ofen realizes that it is she who is not loving
her spouse unconditionally instead of the
reverse. If theres no truth to the original
statement (he doesnt love me uncondition-
ally) the possibilities are now endless for this
couple. Now its time to fip the switch from
human to Higher Being.
You can ask: What is possible now that you
know this thought is not true? How do you
feel about your husband and your relation-
ship without this old thought? How might
he respond to you if you treat him like this
thought does not exist? As the client shifs
her thoughts away from misunderstandings
and limits in the relationship (human being)
to acceptance and limitless possibility
(Higher Being), she is free to create whatever
she desires.
Tis is one example out of thousands.
When you recognize the symptoms of human
being, you and your clients have instant access
to living life as Higher Beings. We all move
in and out of both states, but the continued
practice of observation, instant forgiveness
and forward motion (also important parts of
any yoga class) will allow you more time to
live joyfully as a Higher Being. Tis is the gif
you can also give your clients.

Human Being: Higher Being
The human being of today postpones and does not live in the present. Looking towards
the past, he laments and regrets or he struggles to predict the future. He will reach the age
of joy and strength only when he will live in the present. Emerson

Te Better Business Bureau (BBB) gets calls all the time from
people who are being harassed by debt collectors. Tere are ethical
debt collection companies out there, but there are also a number
of companies who violate the rules set forth by the Federal Trade
Commission. Some scammers also pretend to be debt collection
companies in order to intimidate people into sending them money
or giving them their credit card information.
First of all, if you owe the debt, the BBB wants you to take care of it.
Just make sure that you are paying the right organization. If you dont
owe the debt, dont be intimidated into paying it. Not only is this not a
simple answer, but you may end up on a suckers list and will get more
threats in the future!
If a debt shows up on your credit report in error be sure to contact
the credit report agencies and dispute it. Te longer is stays undispu-
ted the harder it will be to resolve.
Te Federal Government has rules that debt collectors must follow.
Consumers need to know what they can do in order to protect them-
selves from the unethical players.
Debt collectors can only contact you between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. and
cannot contact you at work if the collector knows that your employer
disapproves of such contacts.
How can you stop them from contacting you? Write a letter telling
them to stop. Sending the letter does not make the debt disappear,
however, and you can still be sued by the debt collector or your
original creditor.
Within 5 days of the original contact, the debt collection agency
must send you a written notice telling you the amount of money you
owe, the name of the original creditor and what action to take if you
believe you do not owe the money. Tey must stop contacting you
within 30 days if you send a letter stating that you do not owe the
money. Tey can, however, renew collection activities if you are sent
proof of the debt.
Tey cannot:
Use threats of violence or harm
Publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay debts (except to
the credit bureaus)
Use obscene or profane language
Use false or misleading statements
Imply they are attorneys (if they are not) or government
representatives
Falsely imply you have committed a crime
Falsely imply they work for a credit bureau
Misrepresent the amount of debt
Falsely indicate papers sent to you are or are not legal papers
State you will be arrested if you do not pay the debt
Say they will seize, garnish, attach or sell your property or
wages unless they intend to do it and it is legal to do it
Say they will take legal action unless they can legally do so and
intend to
Give false information about you to anyone, including the
credit bureaus

Going
through
phase?
How to outt
your abode
stylishly and
economically
By Jennifer Walla
rom personal style, to what youre reading, and even
the foods you favor at any given moment we all go
through phases. But did you ever stop to think about the
evolution of your tastes in furniture over the years?
Marcia Smick could probably be considered an expert on the
subject. As the owner of a successful furniture and home dcor
consignment shop (aptly titled Furniture Phases), shes seen every
style, color and price point for such items and their corresponding
buyers.
Students of to college, budget-conscious singles and just-
marrieds, and empty nesters looking to outft a cottage or condo
are examples of the types of people who frequent her store at 1700
W. Wisconsin Ave., Appleton.
But its also people who just like to mix things up with their
dcor, she says. Lets face it, we get tired of the same pieces afer a
while and its fun to change things up in your house. When you buy
from us, you can get some very stylish, high-quality pieces and you
absolutely do not have to pay an arm and a leg for them.
Furniture Phases sells predominantly gently used furniture
and some new furniture inventory that comes from individual
homes, estate sales and furniture store close-outs. Everything is
inspected before it arrives to ensure its clean and in good repair.
Ten, items are arranged in vignettes throughout the showroom to
give customers an idea of how pieces will look in a given environ-
ment, such as a living or dining room. Artwork, foral arrangements
and other accent pieces help to round out a look.
For the uninitiated, consignment means to place something in
the hand of another, but retain ownership until the goods are sold
or transferred. At Furniture Phases, prices are determined jointly
a
with the consignor and style, condition,
brand name and original purchase price are
taken into consideration. Sellers receive 50
percent of the selling price.
Smick says the majority of items in her
store sell within a month.
I dont know how many times Ive said this,
but time is of the essence, she says. If you
hesitate you could lose something to someone
else. Tats why a lot of our customers come
in on a weekly basis. Tey dont necessarily
buy, but they are scoping out whats available,
and we are completely fne with that. In fact,
we encourage it.
For the undecided, items can be placed on
hold with some money down and the balance
paid within a few days. If a customer opts not
to follow through with a purchase, its not a
problem, Smick says.
Wed rather develop a relationship with
you and know what youre looking for than
have you be disappointed. Im happy to call
and say, I know you were in the market for
this particular style of love seat. We have one
in the store you may be interested in.
Customers also sign
up for the stores mailing
list for notifcations of
current inventory and
promotions. Browsing
the online showroom
is also an option. For
sellers, selling items is
easy and productive:
no strangers to your
home, risk of missed
appointments, wasted
time with hagglers,
security worries, or
risk of bad checks.
Rummage sales and
Craigslist are labor-
intensive and risky for
the seller, Smick says.
Te return on your time investment is rarely worth your eforts.
Unlike many used furniture shops, Furniture Phases ofers
delivery and pickup through several independent vendors for a
nominal fee.
Te fees are defnitely lower than standard delivery rates, and
we do not make any money on them, Smick says. We ofen have
customers selling their old furniture and buying new furniture so
its very cost efective if the two delivery trips can be coordinated
for the same time.
Smick fnds her work very rewarding and clearly enjoys herself.
A people person by nature, she enjoys the relationships shes
developed with customers over the years.
We have
customers from
all over the state
who come back
again and again,
she says. Weve
had people tell us
theyve programmed us into their GPS systems. Hearing things
like that is so rewarding to me because its all about feeling good
when you leave the store. Its OK to browse and not buy.
We want you to come back because were confdent youll fnd
that treasure youve always wanted.

54 Natures Pathways

By Guy Kitchell
Axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating, is a
medical condition in which the glands produce far more sweat
than is needed for bodily temperature control. Its thought to be
caused by an overactive, sympathetic nervous system, which in
turn, over-stimulates the sweat glands.
People sufering from hyperhidrosis ofen sweat profusely,
even when the air temperature is cool or with little or no physical
exertion. Excessive sweating or odor can happen frequently and
unpredictably, and is not associated with the normal triggers for
ordinary perspiration. Areas afected ofen include palms of the
hands, soles of the feet and underarms.
Patients ofen report extreme discomfort, odor and embarrass-
ment, and sometimes this makes it difcult to interact with people
outside of the home. It can also disrupt regular sleep patterns,
which carries with it any number of debilitating physical and
emotional consequences.
Are you dealing
with excessive
sweating?
Known Worldwide as a leader in this industry, Klima Health Solutions supplies the most effcient antiperspirants and deodorants for the
treatment and prevention of extreme sweating. Klima Health Solutions also offers a range of clinical-strength products, designed to combat
other skin, hair and body conditions. You may have heard about our products from
your Dermatologist, Podiatrist, Pharmacist or Salon.
From underarm odor to scalp odor, acne to keratosis, you can trust Klima Health
Solutions for top of the line skin, hair and body products.

How can you tell the diference between sweating and hyper-
hidrosis? Ask yourself these questions:
Do you run home to re-apply deodorant before going out
afer work?
Do you ever wash your underarms or feet between showers?
Are you constantly checking yourself to make sure your
deodorant is holding up?
Do regular deodorants seem to stop working for you afer a
few weeks?
Do you keep deodorant in your car or in your desk at work
or in your locker at school?
Have you ever had wet marks on your shirt or ruined a
shirt?
Are you ever worried about taking of your shoes because of
the smell?
Do you fear shaking hands with people because of your wet
palms?
Does your face fush and sweat more than other peoples?
Do you ever worry about wet marks on your pants or shirt?
If you answered yes to just one of these questions, you may have
hyperhidrosis. Consult your physician for the proper diagnosis.
Ten investigate the options to deal with these physically and
mentally taxing symptoms.

theoretical application from two schools of thought: Ayurvedic
principles and Native American teachings. What? Tats an excel-
lent question!
Both of these life-sciences parallel in historic measure and
theory. Tough independent from one another, their comprehen-
sive teachings are built upon a cornerstone to frst understand the
outlying physical world. (Tat in itself is a pretty big matzah ball,
but easy enough to digest when cut into smaller pieces.) Centu-
ries ago, both communities essentially took to studying fve basic
elements: ether (or space), air, fre, water and earth. Teir under-
standing of how these elements manifest, act, react and interact
lead them to insightful applications of how uniquely yet univer-
sally human energies perform as well.
For example, we see air at work when sturdy tree limbs bounce
in the breeze or bodies of water wave in synchronized motion.
Air alone produces such action. Air itself is illusive yet its pres-
ence can be very apparent. Likewise the beat of our hearts, each
breath that we take, every feeting thought that we have are all
like air, distinctly manifested, seemingly automatic and yet illu-
sive. It is for such reasons that the Ayurvedic principles deem air
as the element best representing movement and agility regarding
psychosomatic function.
Tough we all have essentially the same wiring, were each
wired a bit diferently. For those of us who are wired with all the
busy-ness, this time of year may be fuel for your fre, so have at it
and carpe diem! As for the rest of us? Tis is one of those times
whereby If ya cant beat em, join em! So move! A walk around
the block can burn of that edginess, or crank up a song that gets
you going and ditch your crankiness along the way. If its not for
lack alone of wanting to move but a compounding frustration just
to get going, then plant yourself outside. Sit or lay on the ground,
kick of your shoes, stomp or strum your feet in place. You dont
need to cause the neighbors concern by making a production of it;
you simply need to physically connect yourself to earth. For eons
earth has been a literal shock absorber, a natural-born stopping
point for lightning. Surely she will be able to absorb a few volts of
your electro-magnetic edgy energy in excess. Ten when its all
said and done, youll be ready to carpe diem with the best of em!
(Note: One good turn deserves another, so be sure to end your
grounding session with an attitude of gratitude. A sincere and
unspoken thank you is all it takes. For something to be simply
amazing, its usually amazingly simple.)

adiation continues to be newsworthy. Japan has raised
the severity level of its nuclear crisis from 5 to the
maximum 7, putting the emergency at the Fukushima
Daiichi power plant on a par with that at Chernobyl in
1986. (www.guardian.co.uk/4-12-11) Last fall, Dr. Oz warned us
about how X-rays and mammograms can cause thyroid cancer,
especially if people do not insist on having thyroid guards during
these tests. (www.dr.oz.com/4-14-11) Imposing roughly the
same standards for cell phones as for fatty food or sugary soda,
(San Francisco) voted to require all retailers to display the amount
of radiation each phone emits. (www.nytimes.com/June 2010)
What is radiation?
Radiation radiates energy in the form of rays or particles. Tere
are two distinct types of radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing.
Ionizing, as in X-rays and nuclear energy, means the energy being
emitted is powerful enough to break apart atoms. Ionizing radiation
produces free radicals which are atoms or molecules containing
unpaired electrons that tend to be chemically reactive and unstable.
Free radicals subject our bodies to continuous assault, attacking
essential molecules of life such as DNA and proteins. Non-ionizing
radiation does not have enough energy to break atoms apart, but it

waves, microwaves, and radio waves are examples of non-
ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation, though not
as powerful as ionizing radiation, nevertheless competes
with and compromises the natural human energy feld.
1986 Chernobyl effects
Although the radiation efects of the Japan nuclear incident remain
uncertain, the efects from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster are not. Fify
emergency rescue workers died from acute radiation syndrome and
related illnesses, 4,000 children and adolescents contracted thyroid
cancer, nine of whom died. More than 100,000 people were imme-
diately evacuated, and the number of evacuees from contaminated
areas eventually reached 350,000. Te explosions that destroyed
the unit four reactor core released a cloud of radionuclides, which
contaminated large areas of Europe and, in particular, Belarus, the
Russian Federation and Ukraine, and afected livestock as far away as
Scandinavia and Britain. (www.guardian.co.uk/4-12-11)
A Chernobyl story
Dr. Howard Fisher writes, In 1986 Dr. (Igor) Smirnov was part
of the investigative team that was looking into the disaster at the
Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Tere was a signifcant fnding
inside the afected perimeter: one group of irradiated people
undergoing the rehabilitation in the health care facility in the
area of mountain springs was not sufering from cancer, although
millions of others were. Tis was the seed from which sprouted
one of the most innovative molecular changes that we have seen to
the structure of water. (Molecular Resonance Efect Technology:

eadaches are such a common part of so many lives
that many think it is just normal to have them.
Recently, the World Health Organization stated that
almost half of all adults worldwide sufer from head-
ache disorders such as migraine and tension headaches. Fify-
seven percent of men and 76 percent of women report at least one
signifcant headache per month. In addition to that, approximately
23.6 million Americans have sufered from migraine headaches
(1)
.
Te cost of migraine headaches in the United States alone is
extreme. Direct costs (annual treatment costs): over $1 billion.
Te indirect costs (due to absenteeism and reduced efectiveness
at work): $13 billion
(2)
. Although headaches cost our country
billions of dollars and afect so many lives, they still tend to be
under-recognized, under-diagnosed and undertreated.
Tension headaches, which are the most common, afect upwards
of 75 percent of the headache suferers. Te most likely reason for
this is that Americans are now engaged in more sedentary activi-
ties than they used to be. More hours are now spent being fxed
in one position or posture. Tis can cause something called cross-

Chiropractic
efective in treating
headache pain
syndrome, which can increase joint irritation and muscle tension in
the neck, upper back and scalp, which results in the head to ache.
Chiropractic has been shown to be very efective in treating
headaches. In 2001, researchers at the Duke University Evidence-
Based Practice Center in Durham, N.C., found that spinal manip-
ulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those
headaches that originate in the neck, and had signifcantly fewer
side efects and longer lasting relief of tension-type headaches
than commonly prescribed medication.
So what can someone do for prevention? Te American Chiro-
practic Association recommends the following: If you spend a
large amount of time in one fxed position, such as in front of a
computer, on a sewing machine, typing or reading, take a break
and stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. Te stretches should take
your head and neck through a comfortable range of motion. Low
impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary
headaches. However, if you are prone to dull, throbbing head-
aches, avoid heavy exercise. Engage in such activities as walking
and low-impact aerobics. Avoid teeth clenching. Te upper teeth
should never touch the lowers, except when swallowing. Tis
results in stress at the temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
the two joints that connect your jaw to the skull leading to
TMJ. Tis leads to irritation and a form of tension headaches.
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help
avoid dehydration, which can lead to headaches.
Chiropractors may help suferers by performing spinal
manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal
function and alleviate the stress on your system. Tey may also
provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and
perhaps the addition of a specifc supplement for the specifc type
of headache. Lastly, chiropractors may work with posture, ergo-
nomics (work postures), exercises, etc. to relieve the recurring
joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and back.
More and more people are now choosing chiropractic, which
has been shown to be a safe and efective alternative to drugs for
the treatment of their headaches. Going to a board-certifed chiro-
practor may be the answer headache suferers need.

Is there nothing better than the start
of the vegetable season? Getting a weekly
share from a local organic farmer or
heading to the local farmers market? How
about trying to decide what to do with
these luscious vegetables?
Te most obvious thing to do is to eat
the vegetables raw, when they are full of
vitamins, minerals and nutrients. With
some vegetables, roasting really changes the
favor. Did you know that raw fennel has a
strong licorice favor, but if you roast fennel
with olive oil, salt and pepper it takes on
a whole new favor? Raw garlic has a very
strong favor; roast the garlic and it takes
on a sweet favor.
Take a chance and
roast radishes. Te
intense pepper
favor lessens when roasted and will be
crispy on the outside and sof on the inside
when done.
Tese days, there are tons of recipes to
test in our kitchens and to serve to family
and friends. Start asking family and friends
if they have favorite recipes that they would
like to share. Its easy to send an e-mail or
go on Facebook and post a message. If
youre not techno savvy, make a phone call.
Recipes that will be shared are going to be
favorites of the sender, possibly handed
down for generations. If its a recipe you
love, you are bound to make it over and
over again.
Do you have a cookbook cupboard? A
specifc place you have your cookbooks
stored? Reacquaint yourself with your
cookbooks. Spend a Saturday morning with
a cofee mug in one hand and page through
your cookbooks with the other. See what
sparks your interest. Dont go straight for
the vegetable section. Take time to view
the other sections, too, even the desserts.

Have you ever tried making carrot cake or

from a local organization or civic group.
Try your local public library. It probably
has a good selection.
Te Food Network and Cooking Channel
ofer many cooking shows. Rachael Ray,
Giada DeLaurentiis and Ina Garten are
household names. By watching diferent
shows, you not only see how recipes are
made but also learn new techniques and
the explanation of a lot of cooking terms
such as al dente, baste, chifonade, and
reduction, for example.
Rachael Ray is known for this quote:
Its the little something that makes you go,
hmmmm. She is referring to nutmeg, a
spice she almost always uses when cooking
leafy greens (kale, swiss chard, spinach,
etc.). For the most part, the recipes on
these channels are easy to follow, but if you
are more than an average cook, you can
still be entertained for hours by many of
the chefs.
Over the last 5+ years, food blogs have
become very popular. You can subscribe
to diferent blogs and receive updates via
e-mail when new recipes are added. You
can also get updates via Facebook and
Twitter. Just as you have a favorite cook-
book, you will soon have a favorite blog.
Google ofers a food blog search. You can
type in any vegetable and get many recipes
to choose from. Tis comes in real handy
when you have a unique vegetable like
purple potatoes, delicata squash and pea
shoots, for example. Most of the blogs
feature step-by-step instructions for each
recipe, along with photos of the ingredi-
ents, the process and a picture of the fnal
product. For beginning cooks this can
be very helpful when trying new recipes.
Tese blogs usually include stories or little
rants and raves so you feel like you have a
personal connection to the blogger.
Now you know where to fnd recipes
for the vegetable growing season. Have
fun visiting the local farmers markets and
consider joining a vegetable share program
(community-supported agriculture).
Kay Bastian has been a member of Park Ridge
Organics vegetable share program since 2009. She
e-mails members weekly with recipes and tips about
how to use the fresh produce provided in the shares.
She also organizes Recipe Days at the Farm where
members and the public can visit Park Ridge Organics
and learn more about using fresh, seasonal produce.

People planning to say their I dos
seldom think about what will happen should
their marriage end in divorce. Although no
one likes to think they will become a divorce
statistic, it does happen quite ofen even
among couples that were once happy. Ofen-
times, children caught in the middle pay the
biggest price when a rif develops between
their parents.
Every child is diferent, each coping with
divorce in various ways. Still, there are
some ways to make the transition easier on
children.
Experts say that adults can recover
from hearing verbal attacks, but chil-
dren dont heal so easily. Terefore,
divorced parents should never bad-
mouth each other in the presence of
their children even if the venting
is valid.
Children may feel out of place switch-
ing from home to home in joint-
custody situations. Enabling them
to bring personal items to and from
Dads and Moms homes may help kids
feel more comfortable.
Despite a couples diferences, they
should make an efort to make parent-
ing styles and schedules consistent at
both homes. If one parent is seen as
easy-going while the other is a task-
master, it can create rifs and feelings
of preferential treatment. Although
it may be difcult, separated parents
should set guidelines for parenting
that are consistent regardless of where
the kids are staying.
Accept that children may have a pref-
erence over one parent from another.
Its nothing personal, and it even may
occur if the parents are still happily
married, say experts.
Let kids express their feelings whether
theyre happy ones or angry ones.
Tailor language to the comprehen-
sion level of the children. A parent
cant expect a young child to under-
stand the complexities of marriage or
divorce, nor why one parent no longer
lives at home. Keep discussions simple
and answer questions as easily as
possible: Mommy and Daddy arent
getting along well and think its best to
live apart.
Even if the topic isnt brought up, reas-
sure children that the divorce wasnt
their fault. Leave out gory details; just
reassure them the reasons didnt lie
with something they did.
Try to keep relationships with former
in-laws as normal as possible for chil-
dren. Tey are still part of the family
in the eyes of the kids and visits and
involvement in their lives not only
when its a spouses visitation time
should be made available.
Te child shouldnt be a messen-
ger between divorced people. He
or she also shouldnt have to give a
play-by-play of what occurred while
at the others house. Tis can feel
like interrogation and make a child
uncomfortable.
Divorce is seldom easy on everyone
involved. But children may need extra
support simply because they may not have
the capacity to understand the complexities
of the separation of their parents.

Summer is fnally here. In Wisconsin, summers are precious to
us. Te chance to spend endless hours at the beach followed up with
warm, breezy evenings is what life is all about.
Now is the time to get your skin looking its best. Te easiest way
to renew your skin for summer is to slough of old winter skin cells
and hydrate your way to the glowing summer skin we all desire.
Te process of exfoliation removes dead skin cells, while promot-
ing new skin cell development. You should exfoliate 1-2 times per
week. As we age, our cell turnover rate decreases. Exfoliation helps
to increase this rate, revealing smoother brighter skin cells at the
surface.
Exfoliation also helps to fght acne. By removing the sebum and
dead skin cells, we prevent blockages from occurring. Its an easy
way to fght pesky blemishes.
Finally, summertime is a chance to get out of boots and into fip-
fops. Te best way to get your feet ready is to exfoliate away that dry
cracked heel, followed by an intense moisturizer that increases the
elasticity of the skin. A mini pedicure about every week will keep
your feet smooth and bright.
You are now ready to hit the beach, go dancing under the stars,
or go hiking in the woods. Whatever you do, youll be looking your
summertime best.

Known as natures living energy, essential oils are the natural,
aromatic liquids found in fowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds.
Te components in essential oils are vital for a plant to grow, live,
evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Essential oils are extracted
from aromatic plant sources through distillation, and are highly
concentrated and potent.
When extracted by steam distillation, they provide potent and
concentrated oil. It takes 5,000 lbs. of rose petals to distill down
into one pound of rose essential oil. One drop of peppermint oil is
equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea! Each drop of a therapeutic
essential oil contains hundreds of organic constituents and other
natural elements that work on many levels with all living things. In
fact, they are 75 to 100 times more concentrated than herbs. Essen-
tial oils are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-depressant,
immune supporting and regenerative.
Historically, essential oils have played a prominent role in every-
day life. Tere are more than 200 references to aromatics, incense,
and ointments throughout the Bible. Oils were used for anointing,
healing the sick, and purifying homes and sacred places.
Today, we think of oils and the wonderful aromas that relieve
stress and enhance moods. However, essential oils can also
prevent disease and decrease pain. Tey are also used for massage
therapy, targeted health concerns, emotional release, personal care,
emotional wellness, cleansing and weight management, nutrition,
yoga health, and pet health.
Tere are 4 grades of essential oils:
A Pure therapeutic quality and made from organically grown
plants, distilled at correct temperature, time pressure and harvested
at proper season
Use essential oils to
prevent disease,
decrease pain and more
B Food grade, probably contains synthetics, pesticides, fertil-
izers, extenders or carrier oils
C Perfume grade probably contains same type of adulterating
chemicals as food grade oils. Usually contain solvents which are
used to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest.
D A byproduct of the distillation process and is very high
quality IF it comes from Grade A distillation process.
Terapeutic grade essential oils may be difused, applied topically
to the body, or taken orally. Essential oils that are used for holistic
healing must be therapeutic grade. Holistic is the interconnection of
the mind, body and spirit. Other oil grades may include unhealthy
additives. It is very important to know that your oils are a therapeu-
tic grade before applying them to the skin or ingesting them.
Te immune boosting properties of essential oils are numerous.
Oils difused into the air clean and detoxify the air reducing the
number of pathogens in the air and strengthening our immune
system. Oils that can help prevent infection are eucalyptus, oregano,
lemon and cinnamon.
Te lifestyle choices we make can alter the course of our life.
Foods are just one way toxic chemicals invade our bodies. Tey can
also be found in our medicine cabinets, beauty products, laundry
room and lawn care products. Some studies refect a direct correla-
tion between increased chemical exposure and the rise in degenera-
tive diseases. Using essential oils in place of these toxic products are
one way to keep ourselves and our families healthy. Essential oils
can also combat the toxins we bring into our bodies.
Stress levels also afect ones health. A state of chronic stress
increases the level of cortisol in our bodies. Cortisol is the stress
hormone, which has also been nicknamed the death hormone.
Cortisol leads to higher levels of infammation in the body, which
then contributes to many degenerative diseases. Using essential oils
such as lavender, orange, Joy and Peace & Calming can relieve stress
protecting our immune system. Research has shown, with their
immune stimulating properties, essential oils enhance and support
the building of the immune system, whether they are ingested,
inhaled or rubbed on the body topically.
Essential oils have a wide range of
benefts including:
Improve your immune system
Decrease insomnia
Sooth digestive disorders
Reduce pain and infammation
Provide anti-microbial protection
Improve mental clarity
Provide natural pain relief
Afect the psyche
Improve mental clarity
Protect against cancer
Protect against colds and infuenza
Provide safe and natural alternatives to household cleaners

When spring storms occur, damaged roofs are ofen a result.
Hail, large amounts of water and high winds can cause several
diferent kinds of problems.
When hail hits your roof it causes dents or a damage point in
the shingle. You may not see anything wrong with your shingles
immediately afer one storm. Tis could just be because you do
not have a trained eye.
A small blister in your shingle may not seem like a big deal, but
over time it gets progressively worse. When a shingle is damaged
and isnt fxed as soon as possible, it causes the life of your roof to
decrease signifcantly. Te damaged shingles will start to degrade,
which loosens the shingles and causes them to fall apart. During
high winds these loose shingles can become even looser and
maybe even fall of.
When you have missing shingles, your roof becomes exposed to
the elements. A hole or holes will form in the place of the missing
shingles, causing the roof to start to leak. If you dont get it fxed
right away it can cause the roof to rot. It can then spread to your
ceiling. If all the wood in your ceiling rots, it can cause a collapse.
Rotting wood can also attract insects, which will then eat away at
your roof. At this point there is no way to fx your roof and you will
have to get a new one.
A hole doesnt just damage the roof; it also allows cold, dry air to
enter. Te warmth of your home mixed with the cold, dry air will
cause condensation. Condensation will cause wallpaper and paint
to peel, among other things.
But how do you know if your roof is damaged? You can look
around your house for mineral granules lost from the roof. You
may even be able to know just by observing the size of the hail
and strength of the wind during the storm. If there is hail upwards
of an inch, you should have your roof looked at to make sure no
damage has occurred. Another good indication is to look around
your homes ceiling for water damage.
However, never go up on a roof, even if you suspect damage;
it can be very dangerous for inexperienced individuals. Always
contact a roofng professional. We are the only ones trained to
make sure your roof is safe for you and your family.
Josh Ostrowski is with All Around Roofng and Siding, a locally owned and
operated company serving the Fox Valley and surrounding areas. All Around
Roofng and Siding works with all aspects of roofng and siding from fat roofs,

I
attended a womens business confer-
ence recently where I had the oppor-
tunity to meet women from many
areas of the business world. We gath-
ered in a large conference room which was
full of buzzing energy. As usual I began my
habit of observing the group and of sensing
others energies. I doubled my eforts as we
were being asked to pair up for an exercise
to search out who I would pair up with.
Sitting two chairs down from me was
a woman who sent of a clear vibration of
leave me alone. I am pretty in tune to this
sort of thing but even the less energy sensi-
tive would have picked up on her signals.
And she was to be my partner in the exer-
cise, which was to share what we felt our life
purpose was.
Having worked to identify and refne my
life purpose in the past few years, I had a
ready response but I did overhear several
others saying how dif cult it was to be this
open. So I wondered how my partner would
respond to this request. She surprised me
with how freely she shared. She felt her life
purpose was to learn to open up to others,
in her words to bond. She then clarifed
that she wasnt a people person. I became
curious and I wondered to myself, OK,
universe, were you putting this women in
my path for a reason?
At lunch I was eating with two other
women who lef early to see an exhibit. At
the next table eating alone, was my partner
from the sharing exercise. I approached her
saying, I am going to help you fulfll your
life purpose. As lunch progressed I could
see and feel her let down her guard and
open up. Her face transformed from stoic
to sof, her smile from tight to open, and
her words from clipped to gentle. I could
see and feel her inner beauty. Tis was such
a wonderful experience that I am compelled
to share it with all of you today.
Tis false impression she posed struck
me because I have been that leave me
alone woman myself. I used to do it quite
a bit in the past when I was more guarded
and anxious about letting others in. I was
a champ at this type of self-imposed isola-
tion and I am sure it lef others with a sour
impression of who I was.
What does that guardedness say to
others? How much of my life did I want
to live in this state? What was I afraid
of? Having intimate experience breaking
through this myself I could provide all of
you some tips on how to become more
inviting and open and less guarded.
10 tips to leave an inviting
impression:
Recognize when you become guarded
to see if there is a pattern or triggered
event that you respond to.

Im sure youve heard the term You are
what you eat. Everyone knows that what
you put in your mouth directly afects body
chemistry and how every bodily function
works. But did you know that the average
female absorbs 5 pounds of chemicals solely
through her skin each year? So we really
should be saying, You are what you absorb.
One of the more common skin products
used by both men and women is hand sani-
tizer. It comes in a gel, soap, lotion, dish-
washing liquid, laundry detergent, tooth-
paste, little wipes next to the grocery carts
pretty much
anything that you
can label with the word anti-bacterial. But
because they are so common, many dont
think twice to read the label and learn what
theyre really exposing themselves to. In
many cases, its worse than the shopping-
cart-handle-germs themselves!
Triclosan is one of the most common
antibacterial chemicals used. Although
there is no shortage of evidence showing the
dangers of this synthetic chemical, the FDA
is taking its time in investigating its safety.
Ultimately its the consumers responsibility
to be educated about what they are using, to
protect themselves and their families.
A little bit about Triclosan:
Tis synthetic chemical has both estro-
genic and androgenic properties, and has
been linked to increases in hormone-
dependent cancers. A 2006 study found that
Triclosan blocks the metabolism of thyroid
hormones so they cannot be used.
When Triclosan combines with chlorine
from tap water, chloroform is born. Chlo-
roform is a very potent known carcinogen
(cancer-causing agent).
Triclosan is very chemically stable, so it
stays in the body for a long time. Tis allows
it to bio-accumulate in fat cells to danger-
ous levels over time. It is just as persistent in
nature, and has been shown to block photo-
synthesis in certain algae. If this chemical is
killing plant life, Im sure you can imagine
the devastating efects it can potentially
have on our ecosystem.
Te American Medical Association
(AMA) stated in the year 2000: Despite
their recent proliferation in consumer prod-
ucts, the use of antimicrobial agents such as
Triclosan has not been studied extensively.
No data exist to support their ef cacy when
used in such products or any need for them,
but increasing data now suggest growing
acquired resistance to these commonly used
antimicrobial agents. In light of these fnd-
ings, there is little evidence to support the use
of antimicrobials in consumer products such
as topical hand lotions and soaps.
One thing to remember is that most
infections are caused by viruses, not bacte-
ria. Te overuse of antibacterial products
can lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria,
known as superbugs, and can suppress
childrens abilities to naturally build an

of impression you leave

doesnt know you.
Gain awareness that you
are shutting others out
by checking in with body changes you
may experience.
Ask yourself if you are feeling a sense
of futtering in your gut, heaviness in
your chest, tightness in your throat?
Tese are all typical things that our
body experiences when we shut down
to ourselves or others.
What message are you telling your-
self when this happens? Do you feel
others are judging you or are you
really judging yourself?
Ask yourself what really is the truth;
this false belief or something else.
Give yourself an af rmation about
who you really are and what your
truth really is, such as: I am a woman
who others are drawn to because I am
open and inviting or Others want
to spend time with me because I am
interesting and fun.

you. Give eye contact and an open

Start small. Greet someone in your

Congratulate yourself when you go

is the cause for the explosion of allergies in
the last couple decades.
So what to do?
Not a single study has shown any antibac-
terial compound to be more efective than
plain old soap and water. Te most efective
way to kill bacteria is to work up a good
lather in warm water for 10 to 15 seconds,
making sure to get under fngernails,
wrists, back of hands, and between fngers.
For household use, vinegar and hydrogen
peroxide sprays work wonders for killing
bacteria, and are substantially cheaper. By
simply doing this, youll be eliminating
your familys unnecessary exposure to toxic
chemicals, and saving money!
Happy lathering!!

eadaches or migraines got your head throbbing? At
the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed
that adult cranial bones did not move, but William
Sutherland, a student of osteopathy, came upon a set
of disarticulate human skull bones that launched an examination
of that belief. His experimentation with cranial bones and their
movement led the way to the recognition of the health benefts of
what we know today as craniosacral therapy.
Much like the cardiovascular system revolves around the heart and

Te light touch of
craniosacral therapy
delivers big results
the spinal cord to develop.
Craniosacral therapy involves a light touch that is applied by the
therapist on the head, gently massaging the skull, then down to the
spinal cord, and ending at the sacral area: from cranium to sacrum.
Te pressure applied is no greater than 5 grams, or the weight of a
nickel. Craniosacral is a non-invasive and gentle form of massage to
balance energy as well as the fow of craniosacral fuid. Te treatment
is so gentle that it can be used on infants and the elderly.
Craniosacral therapy has great benefts for those who sufer from
headaches or migraines. Te therapist gives special attention to the
sutures of the cranial bones. Applying gentle pressure to pressure
points along the scalp where multiple sutures meet will give relief
to tense areas. Ofen the act of touching these areas can help release
pressure and in turn relieve pain or discomfort caused by imbalance
of cranialsacral fuid fow.
When headaches occur, pressure builds up along the base of the
cranium, where the neck bones meet the skull. Te therapist would
apply pressure at the base to relieve pressure that forms headaches.
Tense muscles and stress can block the fow of cranial fuid which in
return causes headaches.
Another method for headache relief is to stimulate fuids and
release pressure by the ears with gentle massaging and a gentle
pull of the ear lobes. At frst this method may feel awkward, but
it will give much relieve to headaches or migraines.
A gentle rocking motion under the sacrum, which connects
the spine and ends at the cranium, stimulates fuid between
bones of the spine helping to relieve pressure and discomfort.
Tis method is benefcial for low back pain.
Crainosacral therapy is known to boost resistance to illness and
also reduce the pain and stress experienced by clients from the
following medical conditions:
Headaches and migraines
Chronic back and neck pain
Chronic fatigue
Digestive problems
Tension and anxiety
Hyperactivity
Behavioral disorders
TMJ
Sinus pressure
Clients who have received craniosacral therapy have experienced
better sleep, improved mobility and overall boost of energy. So
whether your head is pounding from a headache or youre looking to
unwind, you may want to give craniosacral therapy a try.

Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food
- Hippocrates
Te smartest people ofen do not know how to make the connec-
tion between what they eat and how they feel. You have the ability
to transform your life by choosing to eat healthy foods that do not
make your body sick. Did you know that infammation and chronic
activation of the immune system due to food intolerances have been
linked to digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue,
ADD, aching joints, skin disorders, arthritis and more? Infamma-
tion causes weight gain and prevents weight loss. In my wellness
practice I care for women whose immune systems are not working
optimally because their hormones are not balanced. Food allergies
are ofen another factor that can make us feel poorly.
Now more than ever our food choices play a vital role in prevent-
ing many degenerative diseases and premature aging. Our immune
system is a double-edged sword. Its job is to react when needed to
protect against infection when confronted with viruses and bacte-
ria. Unfortunately, for some people exposure to common foods,
chemicals and molds may trigger chronic activation of the immune
system as well.
Food Intolerance An unrecognized
epidemic
How do you know if you have any food intolerances? Tis is easy
if you have an immediate response such as when you eat shrimp
and your lips swell, an anaphylactic, immediate reaction and very
obvious. If this happens you should never eat the food that caused
this reaction again. Conventional allergists generally recognize only
this one kind of food reaction. Tis is the acute or type 1 hypersensi-
tivity the IgE mediated response which turns on a histamine reac-
tion. Practitioners of functional and integrative medicine recognize
the limitations of this point of view. New research is now confrm-
ing many people experience delayed reactions to foods that are
controlled by another part of our immune system IgG antibodies
and immune complexes. Tese reactions may be delayed and cause
symptoms 24 to 72 hours afer contact. Tis makes it hard to see
how what you just ate is connected to how you feel. To make this
even more difcult, your symptoms may be very vague. Common
symptoms include fatigue, bloating, foggy thinking, stufy nose,
acne, irritable bowel, headaches, joint pain, weight gain, autoim-
mune diseases, asthma and more.

How can you learn what foods may be
causing you delayed reactions?
I ofen encourage my patients to try Dr. Mark Hymans Ultra-
Simple Diet for 7 days which can jump start your metabolism and
help you identify your top food allergies. You do this by following a
simple, elimination diet that removes the top 10 food allergens for
a week and slowly add them back and watch your bodys reaction.
His book, Te UltraSimple Diet is available at most bookstores or
from his web site - www.ultrasimplediet.com. As an added bonus,
many of my patients experience up to 10 pounds of weight loss in
addition to feeling much better afer trying the diet.
Technology exists today to help measure personalized nutrition
at the cell level as well. A simple blood test such as the ALCAT
test can help you determine your bodys cellular response to chal-
lenges from foods, food additives and colorings, molds and envi-
ronmental chemicals. Tis test has been validated by demonstrat-
ing a high correlation with double-blind oral challenges with both
foods and additives. In addition, a controlled study from Baylor
Medical College reported 98 percent success for weight loss and/
or improvement in body composition from patients that followed
the recommended ALCAT Rotation Diet. Tis diet is designed
specifcally for each patient and includes a customized 4-day rota-
tion diet. Studies have shown that the human digestive system is
more suited to seasonal diet as opposed to the traditional Western
diet. By eating foods in a particular family one day and then omit-
ting them for at least three days, a cumulative sensitizing efect is
avoided. Tis time allows the food molecules to clear the system,
avoiding overload.
In my wellness practice, I help women feel better by providing
testing for hormone imbalances and food allergies if desired along
with guidance about nutrition, supplements, exercise and stress
management. Helping my patients identify their IgG allergies has
helped then to recover from their chronic symptoms and regain
vibrant good health. If you are not feeling well please consider
talking with a health care professional about the possibility of food
allergies causing your symptoms.
If you are a woman and would like to learn more about food
allergies, hormone safety and treatment options please consider
attending one of the popular introductory educational seminars
(ofered monthly) at Wise Woman Wellness in De Pere. If you are
not feeling your best please seek appropriate answers and proper
guidance for management of your symptoms and individual needs.
Choose a knowledgeable provider who specializes in midlife care
for women and is certifed through the North American Meno-
pause Society (NAMS) if possible. You may fnd a provider in your
area listed online at http:www.menopause.org/referralservice.aspx

Are you planning a getaway? Ever think about planning a
healthy vacation? Vacation, as defned in Websters Dictionary,
is a respite or a time of respite from something.
We all need to get away. Its important to not only get enough
rest on a daily basis, but we also need to excuse ourselves from the
busy and hectic daily duties, with no phones, no bosses breathing
down our neck, and no pending deadlines.
Spa vacations
Have you ever thought about a spa vacation? Tese places are
wonderful for getting the batteries recharged and the body rejuve-
nated. Spas that are considered wellness ofer so much more than
a quiet room; they are specifcally designed to make positive life-
style changes in the areas of nutrition, stress management, ftness,
massage therapy and skincare. As I was perusing the Internet
searching for a spa vacation that I may want to book, I came across
a few and the one that I chose is Te Heartland Health Spa.
Located 90 miles outside of Chicago in Gillman, Ill., this spa ofers
more than your typical oferings of fancy baths and dining because
it integrates many aspects of health and healing. It ofers relaxing
lectures on many areas of nutrition, opportunities to meet with a
meal planner who works with you to design a plan that you can take
with you long afer the experience is over, and will show you how to
implement these lifestyle changes into your daily routine.
Situated on 32 acres, the property also has a meditation garden,

designed to keep guests in a relaxed state of mind. Its menu features
heart-healthy meals, created with care to help guests meet long-
term weight-management goals. Not only is it part of the program,
but the staf will teach you how to make these meals so you can

ment. It used to be that you would have to travel halfway across the
world to fnd such an experience. Now you dont have to, because a
world-class facility and amenities are right at your back door.
When I spoke to Sherry Gossett, executive director of Heartland
Spa, we talked about why people visit. Some people come for the
entire experience; others come to experience the many diferent
types of lectures that are ofered, and some want to meet with the
counselors for various reasons such as a personal ftness assess-
ment, personal nutrition counseling, menu planning, or whole
body refexology. Tey even have a bereavement program.
Times have changed. People are becoming advocates of their
own health. Tis is a great way to fully recharge the body, mind

way to take charge and ownership in ones health than by visiting
one of these heart healthy spas?

Tere is a lot of information available
about how to live a healthy life: workout
techniques, nutrition information, healing
techniques, etc. Yet, one of the most essen-
tial aspects of living a full and healthy life is
ofen overlooked.
Communication is crucial to our mental,
emotional, physical and spiritual well-
being. As human beings, we have always
had a deep need to connect with others. Our
sense of value, purpose, worth and lovabil-
ity are dependent upon and derived from
our association with others. It is as deep a
need within us as our need to breathe.
Societally we
have isolated
ourselves from
a free fow of
communication through the advent of
political correctness. Tis idea is being
taken to the extent that anything that may
be said that hurts someones feelings is
something we shouldnt say; no matter how
true it is. Doing this actually denies the
other person the opportunity to grow.
Almost 20 years ago, before the advent
of political correctness, I had a middle
manager in the company I worked for
that passed me over for a promotion. In
explaining why I didnt get the position
he looked at me and honestly said, Bob, it
might be your drinking, but Im not sure.
Its actually more of your overall lack of
maturity.
Tose words changed my life and within six
months of that conversation I came to realize
that not only did I have a maturity problem,

new path of healthier living. Luckily, Ive had
the opportunity to thank him for his honesty
and how it changed my life.
Tis doesnt mean that we should be
ofensive in what we are saying, nor should
we avoid our thoughts and feelings because
we might ofend with our honest assess-
ment of a situation. We should be aware of
how our words will be received and how
our words will give others the opportunity
to grow, if they so choose.
A few months ago I had to take my wife
into the emergency room in Madison. We
hadnt been there for 30 minutes when her
phone rang. It was her twin sister inform-
ing us that she was on her way to join us
and that she wasnt turning back no matter
what either of us said. Upon her arrival,
I mentioned that her behavior was a bit
disrespectful. She then stated that she knew
what it was like to be in the hospital and
have a husband that didnt allow her family
to see her.
Without hesitation, I pointed out rather
quickly and sternly that Im not your
ex-husband.
Communicating directly and honestly in
this situation gave her the opportunity to
evaluate her thoughts, emotions, beliefs and
perceptions about life if she so chose.
It is through direct, open and honest
communication that we are able to under-
stand who a person truly is in the moment.
When we have past unresolved issues of
events or with others, we will ofen overlay
them onto a person in our present life. In
doing this, the internal issue is seeking reso-
lution and we are unable to see the person
in front of us.
Over the years, Ive witnessed adults
acting like kids on a playground when
they withhold communication or try to
avoid direct communication with others.
Remember when we would take our toys
and go home when things werent going our
way in the sandbox?
When we do this as adults it is with a deep
desire to avoid the issues within us that truly
should be expressed and resolved. Tis could
be from our yearning to maintain the drama
which is serving a sense of value and purpose
for us or because we are avoiding the confict
that may arise. Yet, the confict we are actu-
ally avoiding is within our own self and will
continue to fester and play out in our lives in
unhealthy ways until it is resolved.
Using others for a sounding board is
not a bad thing. All of us should have close
friends and mentors that we can bounce our
life struggles with in order to understand
the issues within ourselves that need to be
addressed. When we verbalize our issues it
allows us to sort through these internal issues
that are mirroring themselves in our rela-
tionships. What separates the adviser from
the gossip or avoider is the intent with which
we are communicating; is it constructive and
positive or is it degrading and negative?
Tere is so much that can be said about
how we communicate, or fail to commu-
nicate our thoughts and emotions in life.
However, it is important to recognize and
be aware of how and where we express
ourselves. We measure our value, worth,
purpose and lovability through this
communication. Our relationships in life
and our overall health, mind, body and
spirit, depends upon it.

By Shelley Riutta
Which of your habits hold you back? Is
it procrastination, overeating, watching
too much TV, not exercising, etc.? Im sure
you can easily rattle of which ones apply
for you. Perhaps youve struggled with one
or two of these habits for years. You may
have been able to stop your unhealthy habit
for a week, a month or maybe even a few
months. What is it going to take for this to
be completely eliminated from your life?
One of the frst things to do is under-
stand at a deeper level how this unhealthy
habit serves you how it helps you on
some level. A great way to fnd this out is to
actually dialogue with the unhealthy habit.
Take out a piece of paper and with your
dominant hand (the hand you write with)
and ask, How do you help me? Ten,
close your eyes and see what pops into your
head. Even if it doesnt make sense, write
it down with your non-dominant hand.
Writing with your non-dominant hand is
a way to access more of the unconscious
information inside of you. If you have tried
to consciously change a pattern for years
and havent had success, you know that
there is an unconscious pattern that needs
to be understood and addressed.
You will be surprised at what information
you will fnd out by doing this exercise. You
may fnd out that your procrastination says,
Im afraid if you do this you will fail and I
want to protect you from this so I wont let
you fnish it. Reassure your procrastina-
tion that there really is no failure only
learning and by taking the risk and
completing the task that is the success,
not the actual outcome. Let your procras-
tination know that your performance does
not defne you what you create or do is
an expression of you, but does not defne
who you are. Who you are is already whole
and complete and cannot be diminished
by any of your actions or outcomes of
things that you create or do.
What do your unhealthy habits have
to say to you? Ask and fnd out the good
reasons why they are doing what they are
doing!

apist in private practice specializing in Transforma-

ost people would love to have more time and peace
of mind. Or so they say. Tose that actually have
those things in their lives have been willing to
courageously make the necessary changes in their
behaviors or routines to allow space for time and peace of mind
to enter. As with any goal, the frst step is to recognize where one
is in relation to the goal. Next, one must break down the overall
project into smaller steps. Following that, an action is taken in the
direction of the goal. Finally, it is important to continue taking
steps forward, incorporating productive behaviors along the way.
Without action, there is no progression.
I have a multitude of checklists available for clients to use as they
work toward the personal goals theyve determined. Te checklists
help provide the client with a basis for determining what is true
in the present, and sometimes suggest strong actions that may be
taken to move toward their goal.
Heres a sampling of a checklist that focuses on what needs to
be done in order to allow more time and peace of mind into ones
life. While some of the points might seem a bit harsh initially, for
a person to earnestly move to a higher level of existence, they need
to raise their personal standards, and get used to taking extremely
good care of themselves frst and foremost. Points that bring up
a lot of resistance in the beginning usually spur growth. Small,
consistent acts done over an extended period of time ultimately
accomplish more than a few large acts done only occasionally.
What to stop doing forever:
I have completely stopped doing things that I should, could
or ought to do, yet I am still fully responsible.
I dont even think about doing things I should, could or
ought to do. My mind doesnt wrestle with stuf anymore.
I dont do errands, ever.
I dont do my own laundry or housework.
I dont wait to handle problems, I RAH them: Recognize,
Anticipate, and Handle.
I dont do important stuf alone anymore.
I dont tolerate anything from anyone, and people still like
and love me.
I dont create problems or dramas in my life anymore.
I do not tailgate, speed, cut it close with pedestrians, or run
yellow lights. I always let the other person in.
I dont ofer. I let people ask frst.
I dont gossip or spread talk about others, good or bad. I talk
about the person with whom I am speaking.
I dont hang around with people who diminish me or give
me a hard time.
I dont do things in order to get things. I go for the ultimate
goal, not the ones I think I should have to get frst.
I dont set goals that I should; I set goals that I want.
I dont take on other peoples problems, even if they are
seemingly critical ones.
I dont diddle; rather, I take time to be fully scheduled so I
can feel free.
I dont beat a dead horse, even if it should be able to get up. I
cut my losses and move on to plan B, which I always have.

Heres what to stop
doing forever
I dont do adrenaline any longer. Im over it!
I dont hang out with associates or friends who are adrena-
line addicts.
I dont do good ideas any longer; I do what has meaning
to me.
I dont get my energy from causing accountability deferment
tactics, overcoming problems, or beating deadlines.
I am not defned by what I do, so I dont have to do more to
be more. I am who I am, and I am happy about that.
I dont do emergencies. Tey are a source of accountabil-
ity-deferment tactics.
I dont try to change people, but I do extend boundaries.
I am not rushing through this program.
It is important to note that during a process of change, you may
experience many feelings including irritability, freedom, boredom,
confusion, a sense of loss or rushes of energy. Tere is no shortcut
through the feelings, for one usually needs to pass through the
gates of boredom to enter into the garden of peace. Be willing to be
the change, experience the change and work with it. Te end result
will be truly amazing!

H
ave you noticed a loved one struggling with things
that used to be second nature? Do you suspect they
need more help than their spouse or another family
member can provide? Consider the following when
discussing the possibility of assisted living.
Diffculty performing daily activities
Perhaps he or she is wearing the same clothes multiple days a
week. Are they bathing less frequently and is their personal hygiene
sufering? Are they not cooking or skipping meals? Have laundry
and housekeeping become a burden? Does he or she spend time in
only a few rooms in the house?
Memory loss
Is your loved one repeating questions or statements, or making
multiple phone calls with the same questions? Have they been
wandering away from home? Perhaps they have been more
trusting of strangers, falling for scams or have become the victim
of elder abuse. Is he or she forgetting to do things they once did
like paying bills and balancing the check book, or leaving the stove
on, frequently misplacing items?
Medication concerns
Has your loved one been forgetting to take his or her
medications or taking more than required? On the opposite end
of the spectrum, have they been running out of medications or not
properly ordering medications from the pharmacy? Are there a lot
of expired medications sitting around the house?
Lack of socialization
Is your loved one losing touch with friends and isolating
themselves? Is there a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
such as going to church? Are they showing signs of depression?
For example, are they sleeping a lot or crying ofen? Has your loved
one recently lost a spouse, another relative or long-time friend?
Fear
Does your loved one seem increasingly paranoid or fearful
of others? Are they afraid to be alone at night or feel their
neighborhood is not as safe as it used to be? Are they becoming
more dependent on family members?
Safety concerns
Does your loved one have stairs and steps in their home, which
make it more likely theyll fall?
What if there is no help nearby if they do fall or an emergency
occurs? Are they having difculty getting in and out of the tub or
on and of of the toilet?
Too ofen, families wait until there is a crisis to consider assisted
living for their loved one. When a crisis happens, the senior is
usually frail and unable to take advantage of all the benefts assisted
living has to ofer. If your loved one is exhibiting any of the signs
above, be proactive and get a plan in place vs. regretting what has
happened. Youll be glad you did.
Desiree Janelle is president and founder of Te White Hare, a free assisted
living referral service dedicated to fnding the perfect solution for your retirement
needs. From assisted living, home health care, memory care and independent
living options, Te White Hare is available seven days a week to assist you by
