By Dr. Greg Fors, DC, DIBCN Board-certified Neurologist Muscles hurt when you exert them; do you ache all over at times? Fatigue haunts you, at times it's like someone's pulled the plug and drained all the energy out of you? Noticing other health issues, digestive problems, mood swings and brain fog? You are not alone, now more than one in 50 suffer from these syndromes that fall under an alphabet soup of labels, FMS, CFS, ME and PVFS. However you label Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it is the loss of cellular energy caused by a cellular poisoning from our modern diet, chemical exposure and chronic infections! This loss of cellular vitality takes place throughout the body especially in energy demanding tissues such as muscles, the digestive tract and the brain. This loss of cellular vitality not only leads to pain and disability but research is now showing rates of earlier mortality from preventable diseases. There is hope. When the underlying metabolic issues are properly identified and treated, this societal health malady can be conquered. I have personally witnessed it hundreds of times, even with my own daughter! Because fibromyalgia syndrome is a body wide disorder individuals report an extremely wide variety of symptoms, some more common than others. A full 100% of people with FMS have muscular pain, aching and/or stiffness and about half suffer severe headaches. Almost all suffer from fatigue, insomnia and depression. Up to 73% of FMS patients have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and digestive problems. Individuals with FMS/CFS very commonly suffer from brain health issues as well with difficulty in concentration and memory or ‘brain fog’, depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, panic attacks, and sleep apnea. Individuals with FMS commonly report easy bruising, itchy skin, rashes, irritable bladder, mouth ulcers, restless leg syndrome, allergies and reoccurring viral infections. This wide variety of symptoms gives witness to the fact that throughout the body and brain there is not enough energy to properly run and keep these tissues in good repair. This ‘gumming-up’ of your cell function (e.g. muscle, nerve, skin) primarily involves something called chronic inflammation and oxidative stress which always act in unison. Ok, maybe you’ve heard it before, but it’s important to know, so here’s a refresher. Oxidative stress is when free radicals’ from poor diet and chemical exposure buildup in tissues and cause damage to cells, turning on inflammation. It is this cellular stress and chronic inflammation that leads to the aches and pains and fatigue of FMS/CFS. The stress and the accompanying chronic inflammation it triggers not only cause disabling pain and fatigue but have been shown to lead to tissue damage and earlier mortality. A recent study showed that individuals with CFS/FMS syndromes develop heart failure at an average age of 59, whereas the average age of heart failure is 83. The study also found the median age of death from cancer for individuals with CFS/FMS syndromes is 48, while the national average is 87. Through proper laboratory testing the source of this systemic disorder can be properly identified, treated, and conquered once and for all. Drugs prescribed for fibromyalgia such as Lyrica, Cymbalta and Tramadol only cover up symptoms and do nothing to treat the underlying metabolic problems causing the damage.

► On Aug. 16, 1896, George Carmack spots nuggets of gold in a creek bed near the Klondike River in Canada’s Yukon Territory. His lucky discovery sparks the last great gold rush in the American West. Over the next two years, as many as 50,000 would-be miners arrived in the region.
► On Aug. 17, 1915, Charles F. Kettering is issued a patent for his “engine-starting device” -- the fi rst electric ignition for automobiles. In the early years, drivers used hand cranks to start the internal combustion process that powered car engines.
► On Aug. 18, 1940, Walter Percy Chrysler, the founder of the American automotive corporation that bears his name, dies in New York. Aside from automobiles, Chrysler was known for fi nancing the 77-story Art Deco Chrysler Building skyscraper in midtown Manhattan. When completed in 1930, it was the tallest building in the world and the fi rst manmade structure to top 1,000 feet.
► On Aug. 19, 1953, the Iranian military, with the assistance of the United States government, overthrows the government of Premier Mohammed Mosaddeq and reinstates the Shah of Iran. As thanks for the help, the Shah signed over 40 percent of Iran’s oil fi elds to U.S. companies. However, the Shah was toppled from power in 1979.
► On Aug. 13, 1961, East German soldiers begin building a wall between Soviet-controlled East Berlin and the democratic western section of the city. Berlin residents found themselves cut off from friends or family until the wall was dismantled in 1989.
► On Aug. 24, 79, after centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the 18th century, the cities were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization.
► On Aug. 20, 1920, the owners of four Ohio League teams -- the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians and Dayton Triangles -- meet to form a new professional football league. Football star Jim Thorpe was nominated as president of the new league.
► On Aug. 21, 1959, President Dwight Eisenhower signs a proclamation admitting Hawaii into the Union as the 50th state. The president also issued an order for an American fl ag featuring 50 stars arranged in staggered rows.
► On Aug. 22, 1962, President Charles De Gaulle of France survives one of several assassination attempts against him thanks to the superior handling performance of the presidential automobile, the Citroen DS 19. During the attack, a hail of 140 bullets shattered the car’s rear window and punctured all four of its tires.
► On Aug. 26, 1974, Charles Lindbergh, the fi rst man to accomplish a solo nonstop fl ight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927, dies in Maui, Hawaii, at the age of 72. To reduce weight on the plane during his famous fl ight, everything that was not essential was left out: radio, gas gauge, night-fl ying lights, navigation equipment and parachute.

• Nussinow, in a webMD article, ranked the nutrition of the most widely eaten greens in the United States. The top 10 are: kale, collards, turnip greens, Swiss chard, spinach, mustard greens, broccoli, red and green leaf and romaine lettuces (altogether), cabbage, and iceberg lettuce. • There are other nutritional greens not listed above that are widely available in North America. The information available for all greens is immense. We’ll look at some interesting Tidbits for both highly and less popular greens.• Even though it may sound incorrect, all greens are not green! Leafy green vegetables have much color variety, from the bluish-green of kale to the bright “Kelly” green of spinach, to the light, somewhat white of cabbage. • There is even a black cabbage (Cavalo Nero), which is actually a very dark green that is also called Tuscan kale. It originated from the Tuscany region of Italy where it is grown in most vegetable gardens. Cavalo Nero is an essential ingredient in the very healthy signature soup of the region, ribollita. • The Tuscan region of Italy is
famous for many culinary things including the cooking term, “Florentine.” This term can be interpreted as the cooking style used in Florence, Italy, but has also come to describe the cuisine that includes spinach as an ingredient. Florentine cooking also uses fresh herbs like rosemary, basil, parsley and thyme. Since Tuscany is close to the coast, Florentine cooking features seafood dishes as well as local boar, rabbit and beef from the regions’ white Chianina cattle. According to folklore, the association of spinach with Florence may have been because of Catherine de Medici, the Italian wife of King Henry II, who reigned in France from 1560-1563. • Supposedly to honor her Italian roots, Queen Catherine introduced spinach to the Court of France and dubbed any dish containing spinach to be “Florentine.” Whether the story is true or not, Florentine is now synonymous with spinach in dishes such as Eggs Florentine, Oysters Florentine and more. • To make for some confusing terminology, “Florentines” refer to a sweet, baked confection that contains no spinach! These Florentines are a European sweet served as a cake, bar or cookie. Sweet Florentines are a mixture of candied fruit, toasted nuts, honey and/or sugar and topped with a layer of melted
chocolate. • Moving away from sweets and back to greens, a green that has many names around the world is rapini or what is more commonly known as broccoli raab. This green is unrelated to broccoli even though broccoli is in its name. It is a close relative to turnips, and the greens look very similar to turnip greens. Other names linked to this green are rapa, rapine, raab, rappi, rappone, fall and spring raab, turnip broccoli, broccoli rape, broccoli de rabe, Italian turnip and turnip broccoli. • As more greens are available in North America, an old favorite has decreased in popularity. Iceberg lettuce was an overwhelming success for years because of its ability to remain crunchy even after days and sometimes weeks of shipping. Up until the 1930s, iceberg was known as “Crisphead” lettuce. • Bruce Church, from Salinas, California, the founder of Fresh Express, is given credit for popularizing iceberg lettuce. Along with three partners, he formed an ice company in the 1930s that shipped fresh heads of lettuce across the country in rail cars. “Crisphead” lettuce became more commonly known as “iceberg” when folks would meet the train cars of ice-packed lettuce with calls of “The icebergs are coming!” The
name change stuck, and Americans’ love of fresh salads grew with the fresh availability. • Up until the mid-1970s, more than 95 percent of all lettuce grown in the United States was iceberg. Even though leaf lettuces have surged in popularity in the last 30-40 years, iceberg still remains a big seller. So, the next time you are eating out, check to see if a “wedge” salad is offered. It will be the familiar iceberg we grew up with. • Another popular salad that some think started with Julius Caesar is the Caesar Salad. It actually had its start in Tijuana, Mexico, with Cesare Cardini, who immigrated to the San Diego area with his brother, Alex, from Italy after World War I. The brothers opened Caesar’s Restaurant in Tijuana instead of San Diego because of alcohol prohibition in the United States. Invented in the 1920s, the Caesar Salad was mostly just a California specialty for years, with romaine lettuce being the green. The popularity of Caesar salads soared in the 1970s, and the romaine crop grew from a few California acres (ha) to 16,000 acres (6,475 ha) in the 1990s and more than 80,000 acres (32,370 ha) today.

EXTRAORDINARYUSES FOR ASPIRIN
The bark of the willow tree is rich in salicin, a natural painkiller and fever reducer. In the third century B.C. Hippocrates used it to relieve headaches and pain, and many traditional healers, including Native Americans, used salicin-containing herbs to treat cold and fl u symptoms. But it wasn’t until 1899 that Felix Hoffmann, a chemist at the German company Bayer, developed a modifi ed derivative, acetylsalicylic acid, better known as aspirin.
TAKE CARE - About 10 percent of people with severe asthma are also allergic to aspirin—and, in fact, to all products containing salicylic acid, aspirin’s key ingredient, including some cold medications, fruits, and food seasonings and additives. That percentage skyrockets to 30 to 40 percent for older asthmatics who also suffer from sinusitis or nasal polyps. Acute sensitivity to aspirin is also seen in a small percentage of the general population without asthma—particularly people with ulcers and other bleeding conditions. Always consult your doctor before using any medication, and do not apply aspirin externally if you are allergic to taking it in internally.
Revive dead car batteries - If you get behind the wheel only to discover that your car’s battery has given up the ghost—and there’s no one around to give you a jump—you may be able to get your vehicle started by dropping two aspirin tablets into the battery itself. The aspirin’s acetylsalicylic acid will combine with the battery’s sulfuric acid to produce one last charge. Just be sure to drive to your nearest service station.
Remove perspiration stains - Before you give up all hope of ever getting that perspiration stain out of your good white dress shirt, try this: Crush two aspirins and mix the powder in 1/2 cup warm water. Soak the stained part of the garment in the solution for two to three hours.
Restore hair color - Swimming in a chlorinated pool can have a noticeable, and often unpleasing, effect on your hair coloring if you have light-colored hair. But you can usually return your hair to its former shade by dissolving six to eight aspirins in a glass of warm water. Rub the solution thoroughly into your hair, and let it set for 10-15 minutes.
Dry up pimples - Even those of us who are well past adolescence can get the occasional pimple. Put the kibosh on those annoying blemishes by crushing one aspirin and moistening it with a bit of water. Apply the paste to the pimple, and let it sit for a couple of minutes before washing off with soap and water. It will reduce the redness and soothe the sting. If the pimple persists, repeat the procedure as needed until it’s gone.

Rising 186 feet above the water, the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Bridge of Maryland is one of the longest above-water structures in the world. Listed below are interesting facts about one of the East’s most spectacular bridges. • The 4.3-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge takes route US 50/US 301 across the Chesapeake Bay between Kent Island and Annapolis. It provides Maryland with a direct link to the Washington D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis areas.• The bridge is commonly referred to as Bay Bridge, yet its offi cial name is The William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge, named after the Governor of Maryland when construction fi rst began.• Before the bridge was constructed, Maryland residents were forced to cross the Chesapeake by boat to get to and from the Eastern Shore. • The idea for a Chesapeake bridge was fi rst introduced in 1927 but was quickly disregarded when the Great Depression struck. It was re-introduced in 1938, but with the outbreak of WWII, it was put on hold again.• Governor William Preston Lane commissioned the building of the bridge in 1947, and in early 1949, construction fi nally began.• The fi rst span, eastbound, opened for traffi c in July of 1952, followed by the westbound span in June of 1973. The eastbound span cost $45 million to build and at the time was the world’s longest continuous over-water steel structure and the world’s third-longest bridge. The westbound span’s total cost was $128 million.• Both spans were designed by J.E. Greiner Company, Inc.
• During its fi rst year of service, the eastbound span carried around 1.2 million vehicles. By 1996, the bridge was seeing 20.5 million vehicles per year.• The westbound span stands about 25 feet taller than its predecessor. • The toll is currently $4 for two-axle vehicles, increasing from $2.50 on November 1, 2011.• The bridge is actually split as two side-by-side bridges, eastbound with two lanes and westbound with three. All lanes are reversible and the extra lane is usually given to the area of heavier traffi c.• On average, the bridge carries approximately 65,000 vehicles every day.• During the summer months, the bridge offers a beautiful view of surrounding areas and sailboats fl ooding the bay below.• Every spring, the bridge hosts a Chesapeake Bay Bridge Walk, closing one lane of traffi c for one day for a pedestrian walk that is approximately 4.5 miles.• The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Walk, usually held on the fi rst Sunday in May, has become a widespread attraction hosting anywhere between 40,000 to 60,000 people. It usually takes participants about four hours to complete. Due to construction problems and the Bay Bridge Preservation Project, the walk will not be held in 2012.• Construction of both spans used 126,100 tons of steel and 286,000 cubic yards of concrete. Over 3.3. cubic yards of earth were moved.• During the winters of 1986-1988, the eastbound span was closed and renovated and completely re-decked; it is estimated to need further renovations in 2018.• The bridge’s traffi c capacity is 1,500 vehicles per lane, per hour.
The most historically and culturally signifi cant piece of land in New Orleans is the French Quarter. The famous area was mostly spared in the ravaging destruction and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. • When French Canadian naval offi cer Jean Baptiste Bienville founded New Orleans in 1718, engineers developed a formal city plan for Nouvelle Orleans, the area that is now known as the French Quarter. The city grew out of the original borders to become an important American port city. As people arrived from all over the world, a distinct culture rich in music, food and tradition began to develop. • The “Quarter” is also known as Vieux Carré, which means “Old Square” in French. The area is located in downtown New Orleans, on some of the highest ground in the city on a crescent of the Mississippi River. Besides the river, the borders are roughly Canal Street, Rampart Street and Esplanade Avenue. The area today still occupies the same 6-by-13-block area that was laid out in 1722. One of the best-preserved historical neighborhoods in America, the Quarter actually feels like a foreign country. The lasting infl uence of the French and Spanish settlers and planners is still present. • The architecture of the Quarter is a mix of mostly French and Spanish styles. The Spanish rule of New Orleans was short, from 1762 to 1800, but during that time there were two fi res that virtually destroyed the French Quarter. In 1788, 850 structures were lost, and then another 200 were lost in 1794. A lot of what had been French architecture was replaced with Spanish-style wrought iron
balconies and central courtyards. • The city was under French rule fi rst, then Spanish and back to French before being sold to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase agreement in 1803. The Cabildo, built in 1799, is where the Louisiana Purchase signing took place and is now the main building of the Louisiana State Museum historical complex.• Over 35,000 buildings in New Orleans, many in the French Quarter, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Cabildo is sometimes called the second most important building in America, after Independence Hall in Philadelphia. • The Cabildo, St. Louis Cathedral and the Presbytere (also part of the museum complex) all surround Jackson Square. Originally called “Place d’Armes,” the Square is named after Andrew Jackson, a hero of the Battle of New Orleans. The Square is one of the most visited areas in the Quarter, where local artists paint, draw and display their works. St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest continuously active cathedral in the United States. • Another old establishment of the Quarter is the French Market, the oldest farmer’s market in the United States. Dating back to 1791, it also includes a fl ea market. The French Market is “three centuries of history, six blocks of shopping, open seven days a week!” • Any New Orleans visit should include the Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand, established in 1862. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it closes only on Christmas Day and whenever a hurricane passes through. The coffee with chicory, served black or “au lait” (poured half and half with hot milk), and beignets, square French doughnuts, are defi nitely worth the wait. Yes, there is just about always a crowd!
