By Dr. Greg Fors, DC / Board-certied Neurologist Possibly you have heard your doctor say, “We’re not exactly sure right now, why don't we follow up on this say six months from now and see what develops”. In other words you have not progressed to a nameable disease that can be managed with drugs. Our modern health care approach today is based on a disease care model. Disease is seen as an enemy, separate from the body, that must be labeled and destroyed. The body is seen as a physical object made up of separate parts, each with their own medical specialty requiring special drugs to ght its enemies. Much to the detriment of your health few clinicians see, and work with the body as a whole. (often referred to as wholistically). In reality the body-mind has no discrete boundaries. Through the communication systems of the body (nervous, immune and endocrine systems) every cell, tissue and organ is intimately interconnected. Because of this the health of one organ affects the health of all other organs. As discussed in previous articles by this author, the health of the digestive tract has a profound inuence on the health of distant tissues even our brain. We've also explored how improper diet and lifestyle leads to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome well before diabetes develops. This insulin resistance turns on inammation that affects every tissue in your body leading to pain, fatigue, weight gain and eventually cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease Let's look at the typical patient which may seem familiar to you. Most of course don't feel well, and complain of multiple symptoms, typically involving various interconnected tissues and organ systems. Nearly all are on multiple medications. Usually they have pain somewhere in their body, a signal from their nervous system that tissues, e.g. the muscles and joints are not healthy. Many have issues with fatigue and insomnia and at least 75% have some digestive disorder such as gastric reux, irritable bowel syndrome, or constipation. Nearly 2/3 of these patients are on some medication for depression or anxiety. What our disease care system misses is that these common symptoms of chronic pain and fatigue, digestive problems, depression, insomnia etc. come from the same underlying metabolic problems of systemic inammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances and mitochondrial dysfunction. Thsi is caused primarily by how we eat and live, along with our genetics. Many people seem blessed with wonderful genetics and can get along with frequent dietary and lifestyle indiscretions. But for most it eventually catches up causing metabolic dysfunction that leads to disabling and chronic symptoms that our disease care system is ill equipped to help. How is this disease care model working out for us? The US now spends $2 trillion per year on health care, more than any other country in the world. This should give us the healthiest population in the world but, in a recent study of the top 13 industrial countries the U.S. rank second from the bottom for the 16 indicators of a healthy population. Worse yet, an article in JAMA by Dr. Barbara Stareld published in 2000 stated that medical intervention was the third leading cause of death in this country. Only heart disease and cancer kills more people. As embarrassing as this is to us as a country it is even worse for you as an individual. Especially if you're one of millions in America who nd themselves taking three, or even ve prescription medications, plus over-the-counter drugs, yet feeling worse with each passing year. As with other doctors who practice functional medicine, my practice is dedicated to those special individuals who have said enough is enough, and are dedicated to taking the journey to real healing. If you're ready for this journey give our clinic a call and set up time to discuss what real healing means for you at no charge. Or attend an upcoming lecture.

Disease Care versus Real Healing!By Dr. Greg Fors, DC / Board-certifi ed Neurologist

Possibly you have heard your doctor say, “We’re not exactly sure right now, why don't we follow up on this say six months from now and see what develops”. In other words you have not progressed to a nameable disease that can be managed with drugs. Our modern health care approach today is based on a disease care model. Disease is seen as an enemy, separate from the body, that must be labeled and destroyed. The body is seen as a physical object made up of separate parts, each with their own medical specialty requiring special drugs to fi ght its enemies. Much to the detriment of your health few clinicians see, and work with the body as a whole. (often referred to as wholistically). In reality the body-mind has no discrete boundaries. Through the communication systems of the body (nervous, immune and endocrine systems) every cell, tissue and organ is intimately interconnected. Because of this the health of one organ affects the health of all other organs. As discussed in previous articles by this author, the health of the digestive tract has a profound infl uence on the health of distant tissues even our brain.

● On Sept. 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname when a New York newspaper refers to “Uncle Sam.” The name is linked to meat packer Samuel Wilson, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson stamped the barrels with “U.S.” for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as “Uncle Sam’s.”

● On Sept. 6, 1847, writer Henry David Thoreau moves in with Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord, Mass., after living for two years in a shack he built himself on Walden Pond. In 1854, his collection of essays, “Walden, or Life in the Woods,” is published.

● On Sept. 10, 1919, almost a year after the end of the First World War, New York City holds a parade to welcome home Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force, and some 25,000 soldiers who had served on the Western Front.

● On Sept. 5, 1958, Boris Pasternak’s romantic novel “Dr. Zhivago” is published in the United States. The book infuriated Soviet offi cials, but admirers of Pasternak’s work began to smuggle the manuscript out of Russia piece by piece. The book won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.

● On Sept. 9, 1965, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax hurls the eighth perfect game in major-league history, leading the Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow.

● On Sept. 8, 1974, President Gerald

Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed or participated in while in offi ce. The Watergate scandal erupted after it was revealed that Nixon and his aides had engaged in illegal activities. With impeachment proceedings under way, Nixon became the fi rst American president to resign.

● On Sept. 16, 1620, the Mayfl ower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 passengers. The ship was headed for Virginia, but stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayfl ower off course. On Nov. 21, the “Pilgrims” arrived in Massachusetts.

● On Sept. 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, the British launch a major offensive against the Germans, employing tanks for the fi rst time. Although slow, the tanks showed promise and hundreds more were ordered.

● On Sept. 17, 1923, a fi re threatens the University of California at Berkeley,

kills two people and causes $10 million in damages. Homeowners fought the fl ames with garden hoses and buckets, and students from the University of California pitched in, as the fi re came right to the campus gates.

● On Sept. 12, 1940, a collection of 600 prehistoric cave paintings and 1,500 engravings are discovered in a grotto near Montignac, France. The 5,000- to 17,000-year-old paintings consisted mostly of animal representations. The Lascaux grotto’s main cavern is 66 feet wide and 16 feet high.

● On Sept. 18, 1987, cesium-137 is removed from an abandoned cancer-therapy machine in Brazil. Junkyard workers, fascinated by the glowing blue stone inside and completely unaware of its dangers, distributed pieces to friends, relatives and neighbors. Hundreds of people were eventually poisoned by radiation from the substance, and 40 contaminated homes had to be demolished.

WHAT A CATCH! (continued)

• Whale sharks swim in warm ocean waters mostly near the equator. However, they have been occasionally spotted as far north as the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada. Whale sharks swims with their mouths open. Those mouths can be up to 5 feet (1.5 m) wide — large enough to fi t a small car inside! (Hmmm. Remember the Bible story of Jonah being swallowed by the big fi sh?) The world’s biggest fi sh actually prefers small food, mostly plankton, sardines and other small fi sh. Whale sharks have more than 3,000 teeth, smaller than fi ngernails.• Not as big as a whale shark, but to be feared more, is the bull shark. Bull sharks are very aggressive and can be found in freshwater as well as saltwater. They have been found in the Amazon and the Mississippi Rivers. They get their name from the fact that they head-butt their prey and have tough attitudes. • A fi sh that appears to have a grouchy attitude is the grouper. With its lower jar protruding in a nasty under-bite, this fi sh is not good looking but is very tasty. This relative of the sea bass is a healthy favorite with restaurants and home cooks. • The largest grouper on record caught

with a rod and reel was pulled out of the water in Destin, Florida, on December 22, 1985. It weighed a whopping 436 pounds (198 kg)! • There are 162 species of grouper, with Red, Nassau and Black, being the most common in America. They have some really odd little “friends” that help them. Cleaner fi sh are tiny fi sh that swim inside a grouper’s mouth and eat the food that is trapped between the big fi sh’s teeth. Who needs a dentist?! • Grouper are bottom feeders, which means they typically swim and eat at the bottom of the water. Catfi sh are also bottom feeders. Some are even called “mudcats.” • The 36th Annual World Catfi sh Festival was held in Belzoni, Humphreys County, Mississippi, on April 2 this year. This family event celebrates the catfi sh farming industry that started in the area in the 1960s. Since that time, U.S. catfi sh farming has grown tremendously. There are 466 million pounds (211,374 metric tons) processed annually. Of the 95,200 acres (38,526 ha) in the United States devoted to catfi sh farming, 64,000 acres (25,900 ha) are in Mississippi. About 95 percent of the farm-raised catfi sh in the United States is raised in the Southern states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama

and Louisiana. • Farm-raised catfi sh are not bottom feeders like wild catfi sh. They are raised in ponds of fresh water that are only 4 to 6 feet deep. The catfi sh are fed high protein feed pellets, made from soybean meal, corn and rice that fl oat on top of the water. No. 1 in the South for many years, the popularity of catfi sh has spread across the country. With its consistent white meat and mild fl avor, it is now the fi fth most popular fi sh in America.• Some really strange nicknames are given to another fi sh that is a favorite on dinner tables. “Whales,” Soakers” and “Barn Doors” are monikers for large halibut. • Halibut the size of one caught in 2003 in the Bering Sea, west of Anchorage, Alaska, defi nitely deserve any of those nicknames. The giant was 8 feet, 2 inches (2.4 m) long and weighed an estimated 533 pounds (242 kg). Five people struggled to pull it in! • Halibut has fi rm, fl aky snow-white meat. The fi llets are called “fl etches.” One halibut has four fl etches. The real delicacies coming from halibut though are the “cheeks.” They, obviously, come from the head. • Halibut are from a group of mostly saltwater, bottom-dwelling fi sh called

fl atfi sh. When these fi sh hatch, their eyes are normally on each side of the head. After they grow a bit, one eye moves closer to the other, and the mouth twists until the eyes and mouth are on top. The underside of a fl atfi sh is white, but the top may be brightly colored. Many fl atfi sh can change colors to match their surroundings, making for good camoufl age. Some other fl atfi sh are sole, turbot and the odd-looking fl ounder. • We’ve saved what has become one of the best-selling catches for last in this Tidbits. Salmon has been growing in popularity, with many health reports sending it to the top of the charts for human consumption. It is considered one of the healthiest fi sh to eat: high in omega-3 essential fatty acids and protein and low in calories and saturated fat. • Salmon is not only good for your heart and overall health, studies have also shown that it is great for your skin. Dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone has written several books explaining how a diet consisting of high amounts of salmon can lead to wrinkle-free skin. • Hopefully you have “caught” the message in this Tidbits: Fish are fun to catch and great for eating!

● To fi x a hole in drywall that requires a healthy helping of joint compound, cut a piece of screen slightly bigger than the hole and tack it to the inside of the drywall. You

also can wad up a piece of aluminum foil and shove it in the hole, pressing it in a bit to create a recess for the compound. The foil will keep the compound at the site of the hole, allowing it to set up instead of fall down.

● Add a fabric-softener sheet to your vacuum bag when you change it. While you clean, you will distribute the good smell throughout your home. You also can use a cotton ball scented with your favorite essential oil or even perfume.

● If you have trouble threading needles, try spritzing some hairspray on your fi nger, and twist the end of the thread. It will keep the fi bers together and stiffen it enough to be easily threaded.

● Got bug bites? Try these for some relief from the itching of insect bites: apple-cider vinegar; a paste of baking soda and water, allowed to dry on the bite; a similar paste of meat tenderizer and water; or antiperspirant.

● A trio of sewing tips from S.R. in Idaho: 1. Store patterns in plastic baggies. It's hard to get them back into their envelopes, and I fi nd that the baggies store just as well. 2. I keep my pattern from tearing by spraying them with spray starch. 3. I also sharpen needles by stitching through very fi ne sandpaper. These tips have worked for me for many years.

● It's almost time for Scouts to start up again. I have been washing uniforms and sashes, and fi nd this trick to be helpful when it comes time to stitch on badges. Put a bit of plain school glue on the back of your badge, place it where you want it on the sash, then let it dry. It will stay in place long enough to stitch the edges. When you launder it, the glue will wash right out. -- R.D. in Florida

● Solve the case of the tricky screw: Coat problem screws with clear fi ngernail polish right before you insert them. They will hold tightly after that.

● To keep hair shiny and soft, rinse weekly with a 50-50 mix of vinegar (apple cider or white) and water. The smell goes away quickly, but the softness and shine stick around.

● If you have a cracked or otherwise leaking vase that is opaque (not glass), try heating a bit of paraffi n wax and coating the inside of the vase with it. Let it harden, and it should be watertight again.● To keep plywood or thin materials from splitting, I tape my cut line with low-tack masking tape. It keeps my cut sharp, reduces the fraying and it's easy to remove when I'm done. -- G.S. in MinnesotaSend your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

STRANGE STRENGTH

Have you ever walked through a spider web and had a hard time getting it off your clothes or out of your hair?

Spiders’ webs have amazing strength. Some spiders spin silk that is considered to be the strongest fi ber on earth: stronger than steel and stronger than Kevlar! • Way back in 1881, a physician in Tombstone, Arizona, named George Emery Goodfellow pulled a silk handkerchief from the breast pocket of a man who was shot in a gun battle. The doctor found two bullets inside the hanky. The silk handkerchief had stopped the bullets from entering the man’s body. Dr. Goodfellow was intrigued and began studying the strength of silk.• Kevlar is a manmade material discovered by scientists at DuPont in 1964. It is stronger than steel but expensive. It is used for military applications, like

helmets and bulletproof vests, and many other everyday products, like tires. It has helped provide safety in areas where strength is important. • Kevlar is not metal, yet it is stronger than steel. According to Tucker Norton of DuPont, a spider web is even stronger. "If you look in a spider web, and if you just took one single strand of that spider silk, that strand is stronger than steel as well — a lot like Kevlar," said Norton. "The problem is, we haven't fi gured out how to make that commercially at a large scale." • Spiders, eight-legged arachnids, and their ability to manufacture fragile-looking fi bers that are pound-for-pound stronger than steel, have been studied for decades. The individual threads of spider silk are extremely strong. Scientists are amazed that spiders seem to be able to match tasks with the type of silk needed.• According to biologists from the University of California at Riverside, “A typical garden spider can spin seven different types of silks.” Researchers are hoping to fi gure out how to produce the silk that spiders produce someday, possibly by splicing the silk gene into plants that can be planted and harvested. • Currently Professor Randy Lewis at the University of

Wyoming is splicing spider genes into goats and using the goat’s milk to come up with “goat-generated, man-made spider silk.” This silk looks promising, but the original spider silk is still about 10 times stronger than what science has come up with. • Dr. Lewis is hoping that someday, goat silk will be readily available for use in lightweight bulletproof vests, artifi cial ligaments, bones and tendons and more. The military is providing funding, hoping that in the future, wounded soldiers will be helped by the combining of nature and science. • Not only are the webs of spiders amazing when it comes silk strength, but spiders are very productive workers. To see the awesome web work of “stretch” spiders, or Tetragnatha, visit Lake Tawokoni State Park in Texas. Many of these spiders work together to cover trees and other plants with a massive spider web. While most of us are probably not apt to enjoy being too close to the weird work, the park superintendent says it is one of the “best bug free areas in the park, acting as a giant mosquito net.”

MIGHTY MINNESOTANS Earl Bakken was an electrical engineer whose innovative skills were put to good use by the medical community. At the time, Earl was a graduate student in electrical engineering at the University of Minnesota and did part-time work repairing delicate lab equipment at Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Bakken had a long-held fascination with electricity and electronics; a self-described “nerd”, he even designed a rudimentary electroschock weapon in school to fend off bullies. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1948, he studied electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics at the University of Minnesota Graduate School. Post WWII hospitals were just starting to employ electronic equipment, but did not have staff to maintain and repair them. Sensing an opportunity, Bakken and his brother-in-law Palme Hermundslie started a medical electronics repair business in a northeast Minneapolis garage. It was formed as a partnership in April 1949 and

they called it Medtronic. Bakken retired from Medtronic in 1989 and moved to Hawaii but still returns to the company several times a year to meet new employees and explain the Medtronic Mission to them in person. In 1996 he helped to dedicate the North Hawaii community Hospital and has been active there ever since, working to combine Eastern and Western approaches to medicine to develop a more holistic approach to health care.

Uinviersal Tips on Golf: A common mistake golfers make when putting where there is a break or slope is focusig too much on the hole. Your target is not the hole but the point where your ball will start to turn toward the hole. On breaking putts find this target spot and focus on it. Align yourself to the target and not the hole or you will make a corrective movement during the stroke that will thow off your putt.
