letterfrom theeditorJennifer [email protected]
I havent had any problems in my current abode (thank goodness),
but in my previous house eesh. Built in 1923, it was basically an
overpriced sieve. It had tons of character, which in realtor
parlance means expensive problems that are not easily corrected.
Theres nothing as disheartening as seeing water marks on the
newly-reworked plaster ceilings you ordered to the tune of umpteen
thousands of dollars. And the marks are just a symptom of the
problem who knows what lies beneath? To the layman, its a vexing
mystery. Thats where the professionals like Josh Ostrowski can be
invaluable resources. Where you and I see water marks, he spots a
miniscule entryway between the exterior and interior of your home
and figures out how to fix it. Just as important, hes a roofer with
a conscience recycling asphalt shingles to be added to pavement for
roads. Check out what he has to say about it on pages 50-51. Not
unrelated, were running an article from the Better Business Bureau
on the dangers of unreliable, traveling home improvement
contractors such as those who work on roofing, painting, asphalt
work and installing security systems. Complaints about these types
of individuals and companies, many of whom sweep into town after
damaging storms occur, are on the rise. Thats why its so important
to do your research and choose a local contractor you can trust.
Look for a contractor with an established business in the area, ask
for references and check them out. Also, look into the contractors
standard of work and his professional affiliations; verify his
insurance; and check to see if he needs

to be licensed. Check with the BBB for a report on the
contractor. Sound advice for anyone who needs work done. Finally,
you hear a lot about gluten these days: its bad for you, how so
many people cant tolerate it, how to avoid it, etc. But unless
youve been properly diagnosed with Celiac Disease a condition in
which gluten is treated like an invader by the immune system,
resulting in damage to the intestines, low energy levels and
emotional ups and downs what do you really know about it? Dan
Stearns explains it all in his article on a gluten-free diet. Be
sure to check it out because theres lots of valuable information.
Have a healthy, happy July!

Discover wellness treasures in rural communitiesBy Jennifer
Culver, CPC The Wautoma, Wis., motto a few years ago was Small
Town, Big Dream, when the high school football team set out for the
state competition. This hymn is still relevant in Wautoma and other
small communities found in key people and businesses striving to
make a difference. Cathy Favelle, of Anya Advanced Skin Care and
Yoga in Wautoma, demonstrates this mantra beautifully. A long-time
resident, yoga practitioner and entrepreneur in the community, she
built upon her passion of sharing her love and gifts with others in
her home town by obtaining her yoga teacher certification in 2009.
She joyfully empowers others to improve their inner and outer
beauty through her skincare studio and her yoga instruction. Cathy
has been an avid fitness enthusiast and yoga practitioner for more
than 30 years, with a personal connection to Vinyasa flow, but the
closest studio where she could practice Vinyasa was 40 minutes
away. Her goal two years ago was to bring all the powerful benefits
of a quality yoga program, accessible to all fitness levels, into
her own community where she could practice and share her passion
for yoga. She exceeded her dream, with her classes frequently
filled to capacity and her clientele absorbing her positive,
light-hearted energy. Her students range in age from 20 to her
oldest student, who was 100 years old as of May. Last year, Cathy
saw another need within her community when some of her senior
students approached her with concerns about the floor work involved
in class. She acquired additional training in Yoga for Seniors and
Yoga Therapy in Asheville, N.C., and came home to create Rock Your
Chair Yoga/Sculpt, a wellrounded yoga and fitness program at the
Waushara-Wautoma Senior Center geared specifically to seniors.

that all people are young, vibrant, funloving, and adventure
seeking, regardless of age. Additionally, Cathy teaches Yoga Fusion
at Club TEAM fitness center in Wautoma, mixing Vinyasa flow,
Pilates and Yoga/ Sculpt available to all levels. With her love of
adventure and the outdoors, she is expanding her offerings to
include Yoga for Sports Conditioning and additional outdoor yoga
adventure workshops and retreats. A challenge, not unique to a
small community, is the perception that yoga is solely a
meditative, sitting practice. Cathy loves opening the minds of all
athletes to the cross-training opportunities of yoga for strength,
core work, endurance, balance, focus, breath and coordination. As
an athletic person herself, she values adding yoga to a training
regime to advance to a new level and stay in the game injury-free
and with vitality. Cathy is excited to further demonstrate this
integration in an upcoming retreat titled Life is a Beach Aug.

All things are possible; remember, age is only a number and
always look to your heart, the very core of your spirit.happiness
and balance lie
within.(www.innersunyogastudio.com/summerretreat.html.) She and Deb
Sommerhalder, owner of Inner Sun Yoga of Oshkosh, will team to
produce their second yoga and wellness retreat. Their successful
January 2011 SNOGA event sold out fast integrating snowshoeing,
yoga and other activities. This is another example of bringing
greatness to a rural community, for the betterment of all who
participate. For Cathy, this is just the beginning. She sees a
window a light that really gets her excited for the future and its
opportunities, happiness and wellness. She wishes to expand her
retreat and adventure opportunities, while continually appreciating
the natural beauty and simplicity of the outdoor area in her own
backyard. All of this is possible through the support of the
community at large, the local Chamber of Commerce organization, the
local establishments working together, a network of wellness,
energy practitioners, musicians, and the like coming together, and
most notably her loving husband, David. Cathys positive mind-set
and experience provides her clients faith when there is doubt, love
when there is fear and an opportunity for a longer, happier life
when there are limitations. The goal she aspires to for all is that
of transformation. All things are possible; remember age is only a
number and always look to your heart, the very core of your
spirit.happiness and balance lie within. When you discover balance
in your life through the powerful integration of body, mind and
spirit you can take yourself to new heights and literally learn to
expand your wings and take flight. (Cathy Favelle, LE, RYT,
TAP;
phone: 920.572.0184; www.anya. skincaretherapy.info/yoga.html.)
Treasures reside in small, rural communities. This is an invitation
to become aware of the opportunities in your own backyard. Local
chamber of commerce offices are excellent resources for discovering
wellness treasures in all communities, large and small. According
to www.discoverwisconsin.com, Wisconsin is becoming a bicycling
mecca with its Rails to Trails program and other bike trails across
the state. Consider the Adventure Finder link on Discover
Wisconsins home page. Regardless of your personal passion, be true
to you, and live and thrive in your Greatness. Small Town, Big

How coconut oil can benefit your pet
W
hen many of us think of coconuts, we think of tropical islands
in faraway places, suntan lotion and pina coladas. But oil made
from coconuts may be an amazing health food for both our 2-legged
and 4-legged family members. According to the Coconut Research
Center (www.coconutresearchcenter.org/), coconut (cocos nucifera)
oil has been used to treat everything from abscesses, asthma,
baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, colds, constipation, cough
and much more. Reported to be anti-bacterial, anti-viral,
anti-fungal and anti-parasitic, its said to increase immunity and
help fight off many illnesses ranging from cancer to dental
cavities. It may provide relief from kidney problems, high blood
pressure, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and osteoporosis. Coconut oil
can help us look and feel younger by helping to fight
the signs of aging, including wrinkles, age spots and sagging
skin, by providing valuable essential fatty acids (EFAs) and
fighting free radicals that cause oxidation, degeneration of the
cells and aging. In pets, coconut oil has many of the same benefits
but instead of promoting fewer wrinkles and healthy skin, pets
enjoy healthier skin and a healthier, more beautiful coat. Lower in
calories than other saturated fats, coconut oil helps promote
healthy weight by increasing energy, promoting healthy thyroid
function and metabolic rate. Many of the health benefits of coconut
oil are attributed to unique key ingredients: omega fats, lauric
acid, capric acid and caprylic acid. Lauric acid is a rare
medium-chain fatty acid found in human breast milk and it makes up
about 50 percent of coconut oil. Lauric acid supports healthy
metabolism. Another key component is in the medium-chain fatty
acid. Most of the fats, by far, that we eat as Americans (including
fats in meat, dairy products, margarine, vegetable oils and
shortening) are from animals or plants and are composed of
long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Coconut oil is made of mostly
medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). The MCFAs in coconut oil are what
cause it to have so many health benefits. Among other differences,
MCFAs are more prone to create energy instead of turning to fat
when metabolized.
The benefit to pets:

Taken internally, coconut oil may help promote healthy bones and
joints, a healthy metabolism and weight, healthy thyroid function
and support against fungi, viruses, bacteria and parasites in dogs,
cats and other animals. Coconut oil will also promote healthy skin
and a beautiful, lush coat.www.naturespathwaysonline.com
Taken topically, coconut can be used on ears, cuts, wounds,
mouth sores, and dry, cracked paw pads. As with anything else you
will give your pet, its best to find organic and non-GMO
(non-genetically-modified) coconut oil whenever possible. Always
choose unrefined oil, also described as virgin oil. The
cold-pressed method is best. Look for one that is processed very
quickly after its harvested, preserving as much nutrition,
freshness and taste as possible. Different brands of coconut oil
will have different tastes ranging from a bland taste, to a strong
coconut taste, to a more buttery taste. Solid or liquid coconut oil
can be added to food at any meal or given between meals. Solid
coconut oil can easily be melted quickly in hot water. A general
guideline for the optimal dose for dogs is about 1 teaspoon per 10
pounds of body weight daily or about 1 tablespoon per 30 pounds,
but dont start with these amounts in the beginning! Large amounts
of coconut oil given to a dog can cause diarrhea or greasy stools
while his body adjusts to the change in diet. Start with small
amounts, such as teaspoon per day for small dogs or puppies, and 1
teaspoon for large dogs, or even just a dab if your dogs
constitution is sensitive. If your dog seems tired or uncomfortable
or has diarrhea, just cut back the amount temporarily. It may also
be helpful to give small amounts of coconut oil in divided doses
throughout the day. Gradually increase the
amount every few days. Because coconut oil kills bacteria,
viruses, parasites, yeasts and fungi, your pet may respond
negatively to the detox aspect of taking coconut oil. Signs of
detoxing too rapidly may include lethargy, headaches, flu-like
symptoms, fatigue and diarrhea. Coconut oil is best given with
food. Most dogs like the taste of coconut oil so you wont have
trouble feeding it to them. If you apply it to their skin and they
try to lick it off, try wrapping the skin in a rag or towel for a
few minutes to let the oil soak in before they get a chance to lick
it off.Article submitted by Victorias Pet Nutrition Center

Do you have a Sherpa?By Trish Poole Recently I went to Deer Park
Buddhist Center. It is a beautiful center established in Oregon,
Wis., by people committed to practicing Buddhism within the
tradition developed by Tibetan spiritual masters and scholars. It
is named after the place near Benaras, where Buddha Shakyamuni gave
his first teachings after attaining enlightenment. While I am not
committed to Buddhism, I like to visit very spiritual places both
here in Wisconsin and
overseas. We have many such places in Wisconsin; Aztalan State
Park, Our Lady of Good Help, Deer Park and many more. When I visit
these types of places I will often have dreams about them before
and after my visit. I am a lucid dreamer, which means that when I
am dreaming I can
enter my dream and actively participate in it. It is something I
have done since my college years and is like dream yoga, which was
practiced as early as the 8th century by Tibetan Buddhists; during
dream yoga the dreamer maintains full waking consciousness while in
the dream state.

In my dream last night, a Yoga master was teaching me a few
things and asked me if I had a Sherpa. I wasnt sure what a Sherpa
was. He suggested I engage one and perhaps share the idea of
engaging one with others. Then he went on to explain more about
energy healing. Ive learned that during my lucid dreams when I am
connecting with someone I am unfamiliar with, it is best for me to
just be aware and do what I can to take the information in. After I
awaken I can write down what was discussed and look up words I do
not know or recognize. If I get too excited about the information I
am hearing, I will end up waking myself out of the state, so after
what seemed an eternity of more information about the energy
healing and the temple, I woke up with the word Sherpa on my mind.
In looking it up I found that the Sherpa people live in the
Himalayas and that they are considered the experts in navigating
those mountains, especially well-known Mt. Everest. So clearly he
was using the word Sherpa as a sort of metaphor for teacher or
guide. Of course! He was encouraging me to
engage someone who has walked the path before me. Its not brain
surgery, but it is a worthwhile consideration to be sure. If there
is someone who has already worked through the difficult passages
and knows a way to make them easier or a safer way to pass through
them, it stands to reason that I engage them or at least align with
their energy to gain insight into how to address whatever the
challenge may be. Over the years I have had a variety of wonderful
and inspiring mentors or Sherpas and am so grateful to them. Do you
have a Sherpa, or maybe a few? Remember to engage them, get their
input. Your Sherpa can accelerate your learning curve and
facilitate difficult situations. We are all here on the planet
for one another. Each of us has something special and unique to
teach and share. I know some of you will be wondering if I mean our
spirit guides. Our loved ones whove crossed over? Who? To those of
you who would wonder that, I would say, yes, all of them. We have a
family of love and light, whether they are in physical form or not,
we are always connected.Patricia Trish Poole, CH, EFT-CC, has been

Why we love OprahBy Nancy Freier Oprahs last show just aired and
I am bursting at the seams to pay tribute to her and what shes
become to so many people. The quotes are excerpted from Oprahs love
letter from The Oprah Winfrey Show Finale that aired on May 25.
What the world needs now is someone, or something a vision bigger
than ourselves to believe in. For 25 years, Oprah did that very
well. She captured our attention by spotlighting our problems and
either solved them, or made us feel like we were not the only ones
experiencing them. She entertained us. She made us laugh. She made
us cry, and she made us look at life in a uniquely Oprah way.
Underneath it all was a common thread that bound us together for an
hour, for 4,561 days of our lives that she took to the airwaves. It
was her spiritual nature that shined through everything she did.
The glow attracted us. She became a beacon of light in a world of
people in need of a leader of truth. For 25 years she was that
idol, that shining star. People came on her show broken, abused,
lost and looking for

help. She turned on the stage lights and turned on our lights.
It was clear to me that she tuned in and listened to her inner
voice through all of it. As I write this, I reflect on her show and
wonder why so many people love Oprah so much and for so long. I
believe thats because she got it and then she became a mirror for
us. In that love letter to her viewers, Oprah said, Soon after I
started the show, something shifted for me... Something in me
connected with each of you in a way that allowed me to see myself
in you and you in a professional designer coming into your home or
office. me. I became your surrogate to ask the She rearranges what

coincidence that I always wanted to be a teacher and I Better

You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself,
and youre responsible for the energy that you bring to others.to
know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can
illuminate the world... My great wish for all of you who have
allowed me to honor my calling through this show is that you carry
whatever youre supposed to be doing, carry that forward and dont
waste any more time. Start embracing the life that is calling you
and use your life to serve the world. Nobody but you is responsible
for your life. It doesnt matter what your mama did; it doesnt
matter what your daddy didnt do... You are responsible for the
energy that you create for yourself, and youre responsible for the
energy that you bring to others. People often ask me, What is the
secret of success of the show? How have we lasted 25 years? I
non-jokingly say, My team and Jesus. Because nothing but the hand
of God has made this possible for me... I know Ive never been
alone, and you havent either. And I know that that presence, that
flow some people call it grace is working in my life at every
single turn. And yours, too, if you let it in. Its closer than your
breath, and it is yours for the asking.
I have felt the presence of God my whole life. Even when I didnt
have a name for it, I could feel the voice bigger than myself
speaking to me, and all of us have that same voice. Be still and
know it... In a nutshell, spirituality is all about recognizing
that inner voice, turning up the volume and following it to live
our passion. Oprah led us to this. Now we must find our own stage
and shine our Light. Thank you, Oprah, for bringing us to this
moment. This is why we love her.Nancy Freier is a

Average Jane rides the busRecently, I set out on an adventure.
For one week, I decided to park the car and ride Valley Transit. I
knew I would save money by not driving, but I had no idea I would
meet so many interesting people during my bus travels. I had a few
questions, too. Namely, how do I get where I need to go? Im not
great at deciphering maps so I was happy to find out Valley Transit
had a Google trip planner on its Web site. Ive used Google
countless times to get driving directions and was happy to learn I
could do the same thing with my bus trips. I started with my trip
to work. The Google link on Valley Transits site gave me all the
information I needed to take my trip. I simply entered my home
address, my destination and the time I wanted to arrive at work.
Within seconds I had walking directions to my bus stop, the time
the bus would arrive, which bus I needed to transfer to and walking
directions from my bus to work. It even compared my bus cost to
driving. For this trip, I paid a cash fare of $1.80 and received a
free transfer to my connecting bus. Driving would have cost me
$3.63. I discovered a bonus while on the busthey have free Wi-Fi!
My trip to work was a bit longer by bus than driving, but the bus
was more economical and I could use my time usually spent driving
for more fun things, like buying music on iTunes with the free
Wi-Fi service on board. By my second day, I discovered that I could
save even more money by purchasing a 10-Ride Ticket. They also had
30-Day Passes and Day Passes available. I continued the week taking
the bus to work, the mall and even the grocery store. Weve all
heard the rumors about empty buses, but I have to say, many of the
routes I rode, particularly during the peak times in the morning
and evening, were very full. I thoroughly enjoyed my week using
Valley Transit, but it was the people I encountered on the bus who
made the biggest impression. From the helpful and courteous bus
drivers to the passengers themselves, I learned that the bus is
truly a community. When someone who is usually on the bus isnt,
other riders ask about them. They have conversations about summer
plans, school, debate about whether or not the Brewers will have a
good season and other topics. There were people on the bus because
they had no other form of transportation and there were others who,
like me, chose to leave their car at home. Had I not taken the bus
I wouldve missed meeting the rider with a huge smile who tells
everyone, Hey, do me a favor? Have a great day! Ive decided to
continue riding the bus at least five times a month. With a little
planning, its easy and with Wi-Fi on board, its fun. But its the
people I met that most make me want to keep riding. And, the money
I save will help support my soy vanilla latte addiction. For more
information on Valley Transit, visit www.myvalleytransit.com or
call 920.832.5800.

Is a gluten-free diet what youve been waiting for?By Dan Stearns
What could be the difference between feeling great vs. feeling
run-down and even depressed? Can you believe it might just be
gluten? Gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye and barley, is
essentially indigestible for individuals with Celiac Disease, a
condition in which gluten is treated like an invader by the immune
system, resulting in damage to the intestines, low energy levels
and emotional ups and downs. In fact, the authors of a recent study
concerning Celiac Disease concluded that an estimated 2 million
people may have the disease and not even realize it. In this
research, headed by Dr. Katri Kaukinen, 3,031 people with relatives
that had the disease (but considered themselves symptomfree) were
randomly selected to go on a gluten-free diet or stick with their
normal diet that contained gluten. Those eating a gluten-free diet
felt better much better. So great was their improvement in
gastrointestinal health and overall wellness, that 85 percent of
the participants wanted to continue their gluten-free diet. There
are also lots of people who dont have full-blown Celiac Disease,
but who have some level of gluten sensitivity. Therefore, more
people are interested in eliminating gluten. It can certainly be a
challenge, since gluten is an ingredient that shows up in unlikely
products, like salad dressing and ketchup. We see a tremendous
difference in the health of people who have even moderate gluten
sensitivities, says Debra Lemerond, owner and manager of Caffe
Naturally, a Green Bay restaurant that specializes in organic,
gluten-free meals. Healthy food should taste amazing. I think that
our customers are surprised that gluten-free can taste so good.
Plus, we want people to have a worry-free experience.
Unfortunately, most restaurants prepare gluten-free entrees in
kitchens

where gluten is present most of the time, but we are truly a
gluten-free restaurant, so there is no potential contamination with
gluten. This is really important to a lot of people on a
gluten-free diet. Some of the problems with gluten may go back to
the fact that historically, humans have only been cultivating
gluten-rich grains for a very short time. We see people who begin
to follow the caveman diet, and focus on proteins, healthy fats,
berries, nuts and other more traditional foods show a dramatic
improvement in their health, Lemerond says. Plus, if you still want
to get some grains, there are more options out there than most
people imagine. One of these options is sprouted grain breads that
are rich in nutrients and fiber, but not in the problematic gluten
proteins that can cause allergy-like reactions. Another option is
to bake your own breads with traditional grains like amaranth,
brown rice flour and tapioca flour. For people with Celiac Disease,
the one sure way to control symptoms is to avoid gluten. But there
can be many instances of accidental gluten ingestion causing
inflammation. There are supplements that can help, including
high-AKBA (acetyl-11-keto- B-boswellic acids) boswellia extract
which is especially helpful for reducing inflammation throughout
the body, including the digestive tract. Combine this with a
highly-absorbable curcumin extract, and youll be able to reduce the
irritation in your intestines that can occur no matter how vigilant
you are with your diet. Experts advise to look for a curcumin that
has been micronized and blended with turmeric oils because curcumin
is notoriously hard to absorb. In fact, this special form is
absorbed and retained in the
bloodstream up to 10 times more effectively than a curcumin 95
percent extract, so its worth it to find the right
Boswellia-Curcumin combination. Additionally, probiotics can make a
big difference. Top probiotics include Lactobacillus acidophilus, a
fairly common probiotic with decades of research supporting its
digestive benefits, and Bifidobacterium longum, bifidum and lactis
are also a good bet. Combining your probiotic intake with
fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that act as a food for the beneficial
bacteria is a good way to help them colonize faster. Also consider
a deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract, commonly known as DGL.
Traditionally, DGL has been available in a chewable form, but there
are newer clinically-studied versions that are encapsulated and
work at lower doses around 300 mg. When you take this DGL blended
with probiotics, it really provides soothing relief (and healing
effects) for the gut. There is a life after going gluten free, and
its probably the one youve wanted to have for a long time. It can
be a challenge, no doubt. There may be times when youve ingested
gluten but not realized it, until you notice symptoms. But by
choosing healthy, gluten-free foods, with some supplemental
back-up, youll have more energy, rid yourself of irritating (and
sometimes debilitating) gut symptoms, and feel more emotionally
balanced than you have for a long time. Give gluten-free a try. It
may be the diet youve been waiting for.Dan Stearns is an

How to find a wig that works
T
By Mark P. Brettingen his scenario unfortunately hits home for
many of us at some point in our lives: the frustration of losing
our hair and the psychological aspects that go hand in hand. Hair
loss is disturbing as it can greatly affect our appearance, but as
important our perception of how we feel others see us. Thinning
hair makes us feel older and can become all-consuming. Today, I
would like to touch on the topic of one option of replacing ones
hair that many women gravitate to: full wigs. There are situations
that arise where a wig is indeed the best solution. The loss of
hair resulting from chemotherapy, trichotillomania (an

impulse control disorder where individuals pull out their own
hair), radiation treatments to the scalp creating permanent hair
loss and occasionally very extensive genetic female pattern hair
loss, all create the need for a full wig. There are many options
when it comes to wigs. It can be overwhelming as there are many
things to consider when choosing a wig. There are inexpensive
machinemade wigs, hand-tied wigs, synthetic and human hair wigs,
wigs with highlights and wigs with lowlights. It becomes very
confusing to the average person. Many think that human hair is the
best solution and indeed certain types of human hair are fantastic;
however, other types are very coarse, thick and unmanageable.
Synthetic wigs vary tremendously as well. Synthetic fibers can
appear very shiny and look like they belong on a dolls head. In
contrast, other high-end synthetics can easily be mistaken for
high-quality, fine, human hair. Wigs need to look good, but they
need to fit properly so they are as comfortable as possible. Most
wigs have way too much hair left in them, which takes away from the
natural appearance desired. A professional that specializes in this
area can help you with this challenge and assist you in making the
correct decision for your particular desires.

Financial Makeover Challenge winner named Goodwills Outstanding
AchieverBy Karen Kramer Participating in the 2011 Money Smart Week
Fox Cities Financial Makeover Challenge was a life-altering
experience for Melanie Marasch of Combined Locks, and all of her
hard work paid off when she was named this years winner. She also
received further recognition when named the Outstanding Achiever
for June by Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin. She was
awarded this honor because, during the four-month Challenge, she
worked with a financial counselor from the Financial Information
and Service Center (FISC), a program of Goodwill. Thank you so
much, Marasch said. This whole experience has changed our lives.
Marasch and her 13-year-old son, Bailey, were among the four
families honored at a May 6 program at the History Museum at the
Castle in downtown Appleton for their participation in the third
annual Financial Makeover Challenge. As the winner, Marasch
received the first-place cash prize of $3,500. The other three
families, who each received a $750 cash prize, included Tracy
Buksyk of Neenah, April and Craig Schmidt of Kaukauna, and Barbara
and David Lewandoski of Appleton. From December through April,
the
Melanie Marasch
participants met with financial counselors from FISC to improve
their financial situations. The selection of the winner was based
on which family came closest to meeting their financial goals by
the April 15 deadline. FISC counselor Dana Berger worked with
Marasch throughout the Challenge. Berger noted that, at first, this
single mother was overwhelmed and concerned that she

Functional training equipment, summer temptations and fitness
trackersExpert answers to your health and wellness questions
By Karmen Nenahlo Question: Do you have any thoughts on some of
the new functional training equipment on the market things like TRX
bands for example? Answer: Generally speaking, Im a fan of TRX
bands and other pieces of functional training equipment. Things
like TRX, the ViPR and the Rip-Core FX are taking the fitness
industry by storm, and for good reason. Theyre new, innovative, and
fun to use. But best of all, theyre functional, which means that
using them allows you to mimic traditional daily activities,
thereby improving movement, balance, coordination, and strength all
at the same time. Thats pretty cool! The only real concern here is
that people may not know how to use these pieces of equipment
properly, which could potentially result in injury. Theres
definitely a learning curve with these products, so its best to
watch the experts first. I also strongly recommend working with a
trainer until youre
completely comfortable with the training methodology. As always,
the goal is to educate yourself so you can get the most out of
whatever training you decide to do! Question: How do I manage my
food intake during the summer, especially with all the events,
get-togethers and goodies seemingly everywhere? Help! Answer:
Interestingly enough, the answer depends almost entirely on you.
Assuming youre susceptible to sweets and other treats, you really
only have three options go all-out and worry about the
ramifications later, avoid them at all costs, or take a reasoned
approach and indulge to a modest degree. I think most people would
argue that the third idea is the best one. After all, why not treat
yourself to a few goodies, especially if you can limit yourself to
one or two here and there. And dont forget to continue with your
workouts during this time as well. Restricting foods that you truly
enjoy will only increase your cravings for them, and make for an
unhappy holiday season. Bottom line it comes down to choice, and
you can choose to make healthy decisions or not, but you have to be
realistic. Keep variety, moderation, and

balance in mind, and reward yourself for being active all year
long! Question: Several friends are using Web sites to track their
nutrition and fitness, and theyre trying to get me to do the same.
Do you think these health and wellness sites are worth the time,
money and effort? Answer: Ultimately, it depends on the individual.
However, research has proven that consistent monitoring and added
accountability can pay off in the long run when youre looking to
make lifestyle changes. This can come in many forms, but one of the
most popular these days is certainly through the use of web sites.
They can be a great tool as you try to change your behaviors, and
may be just what you need to maintain your motivation. There are a
number of options out there, from basic nutrition or fitness
tracking sites to others that offer a wide variety of capabilities
in all areas of health and wellness. I have to admit that Im biased
when it comes to this discussion. Anytime Fitness has created one
of the most progressive, comprehensive, and fun Web sites to use if
youre looking to facilitate your own health and wellness. Its
called Anytime Health (anytimehealth.com)! The site has a diet
tracker, an activity tracker, a workout planner that uses over 300
high-definition videos, as well as a robust community with a
Q&A section, support groups, a contest page and a site blog.
And these features are just the tip of the iceberg. If you get a
chance, check it out. You can sign-up for a free account that gives
you somewhat limited access, and if you like what you see, you can
join for a nominal yearly fee.Karmen Nenahlo is with Anytime

Whats the value of a penny?
T
By Charles Schmalz he road to financial success is paved with
pennies. Although a penny may seem insignificant today, its been
said that the road to financial ruin begins with as little as a 2
penny difference. If you earn $1 and spend $.99, youre OK. But,
spend $1.01 and youre heading for trouble. Thats the 2-penny
difference. No new economic theory beats this old favorite: a penny
saved is a penny earned. As Calvin Coolidge once said, There is no
independence quite as important as living
within your means. If youre interested in financial success,
start by spending less and saving pennies. Here are a few steps to
start you on your way. After following these steps for several
months you should see a significant difference in your financial

Addressing the root cause of breast pain
B
By Dr. David Janssen reast cancer, the most common type of
cancer diagnosed in women, has received considerable attention in
medicine. Saving lives, reconstructing the breast and getting
patients on the physical and emotional path to recovery have been
the highlighted priorities. One area that needs more focus is the
subject of nerve health and its connection to post-operative breast
pain. Any surgical procedure performed to the breast needs this
consideration, especially because of the intercostal nerves located
in this area. These nerves send pain and other sensations to the
arm from the chest. If they are damaged during surgery, the patient
can experience chronic pain.
32
Natures Pathways | July 2011
www.naturespathwaysonline.com
Breast pain may interfere with sexual activity, exercise, social
activity and employment.According to the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons, postoperative breast pain is a frequent issue
reported by 50 percent of women following a breast procedure.
Breast pain may interfere with sexual activity, exercise, social
activity and employment. Women can experience nerve damage in any
breast procedure. The risk of damage to the nerves seems to be at
least as great in lumpectomy (partial removal of the breast)
procedures as in mastectomy (full removal of the breast).
Regardless of procedure performed, the surgeon needs to make every
effort to best manage the nerves so the patient has the best
possible outcome. In the case of mastectomies followed by
reconstruction, the nerve pain is called post-mastectomy pain
syndrome (PMPS). Post-mastectomy pain is also caused by damage to
intercostal nerves. These nerves exit through the muscles of the
chest wall, and provide sensation to the breast, shoulder and upper
arm. These nerves may be cut by the surgeon in the process of
removing lymph nodes if special consideration is not given to nerve
health. However, even if the nerve is carefully preserved, some
patients still have pain. There have been clinical studies
performed world-wide on nerve health. The conclusion is that nerve
preservation may decrease postoperative arm sensory disturbance and
pain for stage I, II and III breast cancer patients. It should be
noted that post-mastectomy pain syndrome can also be caused by a
neuroma (abnormal tissue growth). Neuromas can form whenever
peripheral nerves are severed or injured, causing pain and
sensitivity. Chronic breast pain may impact a healthy recovery
process. Non-surgical treatments for post-mastectomy pain syndrome
include medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage or
hypnosis. Today, more board-certified plastic surgeons have
significant training and experience in nerve-sparing and
nerve-connection techniques. As trained micro surgeons, plastic
surgeons are able in some cases to micro dissect traumatized nerves
and improve pain by manipulating the nerve end. If you have post
mastectomy pain in a highly localized area, consider seeing a
plastic surgeon with experience in managing post-operative breast
pain. In some cases, surgical treatment to block nerves that are
causing pain may be the best option. If you or someone you know is
experiencing breast pain, please remember to consider nerve health.
Be your own best advocate, do your research and ask a lot of
questions.Dr. David Janssen is a board-certified plastic surgeon
with Fox Valley Plastic Surgery, based in Oshkosh. The practice,
co-owned by Dr. David Janssen and Dr. William Doubek, offers facial

Using hyperbaric oxygen therapy during cancer treatmentsBy
Angela Saunders Cancer is such a frightening word, but it can
absolutely terrify us when linked with someone we love. When it
strikes, there is a lot to consider. How advanced is the cancer?
What are your treatment options? Which treatment should you
ultimately go with? Will it be all right to combine different types
of treatments? What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Since the 1600s,
doctors have been experimenting with forms of hyperbaric medicine.
Modern-day treatments, developed by the military for diving
operations, helped scuba divers recover from decompression sickness
and air embolism. Since then, hyperbaric treatments have been used
in hospitals for the treatment of such
things as burns and carbon monoxide poisoning. But the benefits
of hyperbaric medicine do not stop there. It has been used to
alleviate many health issues, including cancer. Can hyperbaric
oxygen therapy really help cancer? Note the following comments: I

post- and during chemo, and radiation. In fact, if chemotherapy
is used in conjunction with mHBT, the chemotherapy dose must be
reduced. The mHBT will potentate any primary cancer treatment. mHBT
is the best cancer prevention and cancer remission therapy out
there, bar none. (Bergeron, Rhett, M.D.) Most doctors are aware of
hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), even if they seldom prescribe
this treatment, because oxygen applied to the body under pressure
is approved for use in limited situations such as carbon monoxide
poisoning, poorly healed wounds, gas embolism, and decompression
illness. Very few physicians, however, are aware that oxygen
therapies have far more advanced medical applications that are
commonly used in many countries outside the United States. In
Russia, Europe, China, Japan and Cuba, among others, oxygen
therapies treat a broad range of conditions, such as arthritis,
cancer, cerebral palsy, HIV, Lyme disease, optic neuritis, stroke
and even multiple sclerosis. (Yutsis, Pavel I., M.D., Oxygen to the
Rescue) Why is oxygen used? Disease thrives in an oxygen-deficient
environment. Some bacteria, for instance, cannot survive in the
presence of abundant oxygen. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the
increased oxygen dissolves in your blood and circulates throughout
your body. Regarding the effectiveness of oxygen in fighting
disease, note these comments: applying increased oxygen to diseased
cells in the human body revitalizes or changes the cell structure.
(Yutsis, Pavel I., MD, Oxygen to the Rescue)
By increasing the oxygen environment to the cancer cells, it
makes them less virulent and in many instances destroys them.
(Yutsis, Pavel I., M.D., Oxygen to the Rescue) For the past 50
years, we have steadily been fighting cancer, and during that
period, researchers and scientists have known that cancer develops
in low oxygen environments. (Yutsis, Pavel I., M.D., Oxygen to the
Rescue) Lack of oxygen clearly plays a major role in causing cells
to become cancerous. (Goldblatt, Harry, M.D., Journal of
Experimental Medicine) In all serious disease states we find a
concomitant low oxygen stateLow oxygen in the body tissues is a
sure indicator for diseaseHypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the
tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease.
Oxygen is the source of life to all cells. (Levine, Stephen, MD,
Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to All Degenerative Illness) Due
to the health benefits of oxygen, you may decide to take oxygen
treatments in harmony with other health-care treatments. It is your
decision. Make sure to check with your doctor first, and if your
insurance does not cover hyperbaric oxygen treatments,
free-standing hyperbaric clinics are available and are typically an
economical choice.Green Bay Hyperbarics is a free-standing

daughter was preparing for her junior prom. Her date arrived to

girls mother she became concerned. His teeth were covered with
plaque and blood was visible between and along the gum tissue of
his teeth. As a dentist, she began to think of the bacterial
conditions occurring in his mouth. The young couple headed out the
