Are you in need of dental implants,
and unsure of who you should see?
Maybe you want your dentist to take
care of them, but they are suggesting send-
ing you to an oral surgeon or periodontist,
and that makes you uncomfortable. Ormaybe your general dentist doesnt get
involved with implants at all. Choosing the
right dentist for dental implants can be con-
fusing and nerve-wracking.
Its important to understand dental
implants are not a specialty; so technically,
any dentist can perform the procedure.
Dentist have many different levels of train-
ing. Most dentists simply restore the
implants with the prosthesis, meaning a
crown, bridge, denture, or hybrid teeth.
These dentists will work with an oral sur-geon or periodontist to place the implants;
this is where a referral becomes necessary.
Other dentists are comfortable placing
implants as long as they are straight-for-
ward. If the amount of bone available is
minimal, grafting may be necessary and
referrals again become likely.
Some dentists, such as Dr. Goldberg, are
experts in implant dentistry with years of
training and experience, and thoroughly
enjoy implant dentistry. The advantage to
this is one dentist is taking full responsibili-ty for the treatment and you only have to
visit one office, rather than getting bounced
from one dentist to another.
One of the biggest challenges with dental
implants is finding implants that are placed
in poor positions, making them difficult to
be restored correctly. This happens when
the dentist who places the implants is notfocusing on the restorations. This does not
happen all the time, but when it does hap-
pen, it can be frustrating for all parties
involved. It can also put the implants at risk
of failure, which may not be apparent until a
number of years have elapsed.
When doing your homework on choosing
an implant dentist, there are some important
questions or topics you should consider ask-
ing your dentist and / or surgeon:
How long have you been placing /
restoring implants? What kind of training do you have?
What implant organizations are you
involved with?
If more than one office is involved, how
in-sync are the two offices? How long have
you been working together?
Can you please show me other cases
you have completed that are similar to mine?
Who will I see for maintenance and fol-
low-up care: the dentist who placed the
implants or the dentist who restored the
implants? Do I have to see both? Will therebe multiple charges for the maintenance vis-
its?
Who Should I See For My Dental Implants? What are my other options for treat-
ment?
If the dentist or surgeon answering those
questions is fully capable and confident in
their responses, you can be comforted they
may be the right dentist to perform yourimplants.
The office of Dr. Goldberg offers free consul-
tations. If youd like to speak with Dr.
Goldberg personally and determine the best
course of action for your specific situation,
please call his office.
Dr. Goldberg is a general dentist located in
the Roxbury Mall in Succasunna, NJ. He
provides dentistry for the entire family,
including: cleanings, check-ups, whitening,
veneers, crowns, root canals, dentures, peri-
odontal (gum) services, dental implants, and
much more. He is a Diplomate of theAmerican Board of Implantology/Implant
Dentistry, holds multiple degrees and is rec-
ognized as an expert in dental implants. You

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long ValleyImagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers
would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments
would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token
would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed
using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scien-
tists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turn-
ing or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have
been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both ana-
lyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before
realized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of comput-
erized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the
most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest,
state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in
the Long Valley area
The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the
spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that isoften the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-
where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular condi-
tions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients
say that its like getting a mini-massage.
It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any
joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plan-
tar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance
companies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its
advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest
amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely pre-
cise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms ofadjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique
because of how gentle it is and does not involve
any twisting, especially in the neck. Many peo-
ple love getting adjusted with traditional manual
techniques, all of which are safe and effective,
but there are a large number of people who never
get to experience the amazing benefits of chiro-practic because they are scared to have their
spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now,
there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. The
ProAdjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about
going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that decision. Dr.
Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to experience these
same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions,
the ProAdjuster may be the answer youve been looking for
Low back discomfort Fibromyalgia
Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis
Neck and shoulder pain Knee or hip pain
TMJ dysfunction Scoliosis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Arthritis
Headaches Sports injuries

extremely gentle. There is no guesswork, and its safe for indi-
viduals of all ages. Call our office today and mention this article
to receive a FREE ProAdjuster analysis to pin-point your prob-
lem area and see how the ProAdjuster can help. Call within thenext 7 days and you will also receive a complimentary nerve

ments to make the Training Team by January

athletes qualified for Sectional (receiving a30.00 AA or higher) in their first sanctioned
meet; followed by all six of them qualifying
for State Championships in their first
Sectional Meet (receiving a 32.00 AA or
higher). That in itself was quite an accom-
plishment, but that was not enough for this
dedicated team. They worked hard through
Christmas break and did not skip one day of
practice with the goal to do well at State
Championships! Well their commitment
paid off as this amazing team of six brought
home 26 medals at NJ USAG StateChampionships in January 2014!
Ashley Miller not only brought home a
gold medal for CS Gymnastics but she also
now holds the State Record for the 11 & Up
Age Group! Gold Medalist Ashley Miller
placed 1st on Vault with an outstandingscore of 9.575 taking home the first gold for
her team! Miller also placed 5th on Beam
with a 9.2, 4th on Floor with a 9.0, and 6th
All Around with a personal best of 36.45!
Cecelia Ossi also stood on the podium in
the11 & Up Age Group! Cecelia took home
the Silver Medal on Bars with a personal
best of 9.425. Cecelia also placed 7th on
Vault with a 9.2, 4th on Beam with a 9.25,

Anglers, skaters and outdoor enthusiasts often take tothe great outdoors when lakes and other bodies ofwater freeze. But even after days of below-freezing
temperatures, lakes may not be solid, increasing the risk thatrevelers will fall through the ice, possibly resulting in drown-
ing or hypothermia. As a result, it is imperative that safetyprecautions be taken when spending time on frozen lakes.
Though it can be fun to skate or fish on a frozen lake, iceis never safe and it's always in one's best interest to treat icewith caution. Ice strength depends on various factors, includ-ing daily temperature, water depth, water chemistry, currents,and distribution of the load on the ice. It is impossible to
judge the thickness of the ice by appearance alone. Your bestbet is to proceed with caution and follow these tips for sur-vival.
* Be prepared for any scenario. Prepare for the possibilityof a plunge. Carry a long metal or metal-tipped wood pole,called a spud bar, which can be used to test the strength ofareas of ice you are unsure about. The bar also can be used asa walking stick. Carry safety spikes to provide traction if youfall through and need to climb up onto the ice.
* Avoid crossing frozen bodies of water in a single file, asit may stress the ice. Also, never venture out alone. Alwaysgo with a partner or alert someone to your whereabouts.
* Always wear a life jacket. Life jackets act as flotation
devices until you can get to safety.* Do not take a vehicle onto the ice. Sixty-eight percent of
the 117 ice fatalities that occurred in Minnesota in the last 40years involved a vehicle. A car or light truck needs 8 to 12inches of clear ice to be safe.
* Be aware of cracks or fissures in the ice. Be extremelycautious crossing ice near river mouths, points of land,islands, and springs. Currents can cause ice to be thinner inthese areas.
* Carry a safety line. Such lines can be thrown to some-one who has fallen through the ice. This may be the bestmethod of pulling someone to safety.
* Remain calm if you fall through the ice. Avoid thrash-ing, which can use up energy and body heat. Try to keep yourhead and face above the water. The body will react to theplunge by going into "cold shock," a condition characterizedby hyperventilation, involuntary gasping and internalresponses including hypertension (high blood pressure) and
changes in pulse rate. You do have time to get out. Many peo-ple can last two to five minutes in cold water before strengthand coordination are compromised.
Try to normalize your breathing to ensure you get enoughoxygen to react and get to safety. Concentrate on breathingslowly and steadily. Kick your feet and pull yourself out ofthe water at the strongest edge of the ice. Try to roll up onto
the ice, staying flat to distribute your body weight. Roll your-self away from the hole into which you fell and remain onyour hands and knees until you crawl several feet away. Onlythen should you stand up and walk to safety to get dry andwarm.
Spending time on a frozen lake can be fun, but it's alsorisky. Knowing how to react in an emergency situation may
just save a life.

Mitzvah, a beautiful Seal Point
Siamese cat, was finally reunited
with Shirley, her owner, after sev-
eral months. Shirley had been ill and was in
a nursing home for two months recovering
from surgery. A neighbor of hers was com-ing in every other day to feed Mitzvah and
clean the litter box. But after a few days,
Mitzvah stopped eating and seemed
depressed. Shirleys daughter was dis-
traught about her mothers condition and
now the cats behavior. It was more than she
could bear.
Realizing she had to do something,
Shirleys daughter e-mailed the Cat Chalet
in Randolph, New Jersey, to see if it could
help. Susan Mohr, owner of the Cat Chalet,
agreed to take the cat, however, she knewthat Mitzvah being united with her owner
was not a guarantee. It was a risky propo-
sition since the owner was elderly and ill,
and anything could happen, but I felt I need-
ed to help this cat and decided it was my
obligation to see what I could do, said
Mohr.
Mitzvah came to the Cat Chalet extreme-
ly scared and skinny. It looked like she
stopped eating soon after Shirley became
ill. For three days, she wouldnt eat. Her
eyes were as big as baseballs. She didnttrust anyone. She would back away if you
came close to her. The Cat Chalet staff
made it their mission to get her eating again.
They were patient and slowly let Mitzvah
come to them. Soon, she started eating wet
food and wanted to walk around the kennel.
After a few weeks, Shirleys daughtersent another e-mail: her mother was return-
ing home and after a few days of adjusting
back to her house, she wanted Mitzvah
home with her. However, Shirleys daughter
had a full work schedule and family obliga-
tions, and she couldnt bring the cat back to
her mom.
As it turned out, Shirley lived in
Hackettstown where one of the Cat Chalet
employees, Colleen, lived. Colleen offered
to drop Mitzvah off at Shirleys house.
When Mitzvah got home, she ran aroundthe house, excited to be back with her
owner. Shirley was excited to have Mitzvah
back too, but she was having problems get-
ting around. Colleen was concerned that
Shirley may have trouble taking care of
Mitzvah. Colleen agreed to come over and
check on both of them until Shirley was
able to do more on her own.
Ever since then, Colleen has been going
over to Shirleys house once a week to
check on Mitzvah and her owner. Shirley is
slowly getting back on her feet. She has saidhow grateful she is for the staff at the Cat
Reunited After Three Months
Chalet for taking such great care of her pre-
cious baby. Thank you for everything you
have done for me and Mitzvah, Shirley has
said multiple times to Colleen.
At the Cat Chalet, the staff makes sure
your cat is happy, safe, and sound. Whether
it is ensuring a beautiful reunion or makinga cat more comfortable during its stay, the
Cat Chalet will do everything it can to make
every story have a happy ending. They are
located in Randolph, NJ on Route 10. If
you would like to see how the Cat Chalet
can make a difference in your cats life, call

And Miss Jerseys Outstanding Teen 2014
is.Samantha Rizzuto of Long Valley.
On January 11th at Millville High School in Millville,Rizzuto received that crown, which gets her one step closer
to the national title. The national pageant, the teen version
of Miss America, will be held on August 2nd at the Orange
County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Recently, Rizzuto reflected on the Miss America organi-
zation and on her new title and what it means to her.
Formerly, Miss Libertys Outstanding Teen, Rizzuto is
no stranger to the Miss America pageant system.
I have been participating in the Miss America system
since I was 13. My first year, 2011, I did not win a local
[pageant], so I did not compete at the state pageant. In
2012, I was 2nd runner up to the title. In 2013, I was firstrunner-up. I was very happy each year to place closer to my
goal of being Miss New Jerseys Outstanding Teen, said
Rizzuto.
In the pageant, each contestant had to perform and share
her platform; Rizzutos.showed her depth of interests. For
her talent, she sang the English translation of Mein Herr
Marquis, frequently referred to as Adeles Laughing Song
from the Opera Die Fledermaus Conversely, her platform,
Balancing the Equation, focused on the need to strength-
en science, technology, engineering, and math programs for
younger students in New Jersey and the United States
Rizzuto, a junior at the Math, Science and Engineering
Academy located at Morris Hills High in Rockaway, has
created a program called STEM-CAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through build-
ing Confidence, changing Attitudes, and Mentoring). The
program, held at various area libraries, introduces these
subjects to younger students in fun ways. It received agrant from Dosomething.org in 2013.
In other countries STEM subjects are introduced at a
much younger age allowing students to develop skills and
interest in these fields early in life. Strengthening our
STEM Education Programs will allow our country to con-
tinue to be competitive in the areas of invention, innovation
and defense. It will also decrease our unemployment rate;
which will improve our economy, since there will be quali-
fied Americans capable of filling jobs currently being out-
sourced., said Rizzuto.
Now that she is the state titleholder, she will act as an
advocate for that platform. In addition, she has other
responsibilities:
I am a role model for teens in New Jersey, promoting
the four points of the crown: scholastics, style, success and
service. I am an ambassador for the Childrens Miracle
Network helping to raise awareness and funds for their pro-
gram. . I represent where hard work, perseverance and
a dream can take you, Rizzuto shared
Looking at all shes accomplished and her new responsi-
bilities, it may be surprising to hear that Rizzuto used to be
shy when speaking to others. She feels that one of the ben-
efits of participating in the pageants is that it has helped her
become more confident, to find her voice. Now, she enjoysRecently crowned, Miss New Jersey's Outstanding Teen 2014is Samantha Rizzuto of Long Valley.

I feel the Miss America organization
has helped me to pursue my passions and
discover who I am and what I stand for,
she shared.Not only does the program help in that
area, but Rizzuto noted that it is scholar-
ship- based. There are many colleges which
offer scholarships to state winners with cer-
tain GPAs and SAT scores.
As she looks forward to the national pag-
eant, Rizzuto has lots of support behind her.
The Miss New Jersey Scholarship
Organization is like a family. It is run by
volunteers who really give of themselves to
the girls and the program. I have received
cards, emails, gifts and messages frommembers of the organization showing their
love, support and willingness to help me be
successful at the next level., she said.
The next level will start on July 25th
when the state titleholders check in for
rehearsals, appearances and social events in
Miss New Jerseys Outstanding Teen 2014...Florida. There will be three preliminary
nights, July 29th, 30ththand 31st, The final
night is on Saturday, August 2nd when the
new Miss Americas Outstanding Teen will
be crowed.
It is a huge honor to be selected to rep-
resent New Jersey at the national pageant. I
have big shoes to fill. In the past six years,
five of the representatives from New Jersey
have made it into the top 15. I feel deter-
mined to shine and make New Jersey
proud, Rizzuto said.

Leonard Lance claims he's
endorsed by and represents con-
servative, N.J. Tea Party organiza-
tions. But why then, is Lance one of a
handful of Republican congressman a
member of, and taking donations from, a
lobbyist group, the Main StreetPartnership, and corporations that raise
millions of dollars to protect establish-
ment Republicans from Tea Party chal-
lengers?
The Main Street Partnership's sole
mission is to help Republican lawmakers
who believe that only the government
has the ability to solve problems with
higher spending, and fight back against
conservative groups that sponsor Tea
Party candidates who challenge incum-
bent Republicans in primariesThe Main Street Partnership, started
by former Ohio Congressman Steven C.
LaTourette, has positioned itself to take
advantage of the current rift in the
Republican party.
Set to release millions of dollars in
corporate funds and campaign donations,
The Main Street Partnership will create a
windfall for strategists and former office
holders.
By donating to the "The Main Street
Partnership," corporations gain access tolawmakers by contributing money to
their "political action committees," this
in turn give them the right to participate
in events with sitting members of
Congress. The list of corporate donors is
kept secret.
So how does Leonard Lance vote, and
does he really represent you? Lance
votes more with Obama and Democrats
than he does with Republicans.
According to "Heritage Action for
America" which keeps score on how
congress vote on conservative issues,
Leonard Lance only votes 49 per cent of
the time for conservative causes. Lance
also voted with Obama twice to raise the
debt ceiling which funds Obama-care.
Moreover, Lance voted to raise the
price of home heating oil and to tax
Christmas trees when he voted for
Obama's Agricultural Act of 2014, also
know as "The Farm Bill." It's proponents
claim it will cut the deficit, but what it
really is, is a mass spending bill and
more corporate welfare, jam packed with
new regulations that will decrease your
bottom line.
This bill will ad nearly $1-trillion to
the debt, will set policy for the next five
years on crop subsidies, nutrition pro-
grams, conservation and food stamps. It
also includes new stricter regulations onbio-fuels, climate change and farmers
markets.
Lance agreed with Obama when he
said "the debate over climate change is
settled," during his State of the Union
speech. Climate laws that Obama can't
enforce through legislation will be done
by executive order. In other words,
Lance supports Obama's recent decree
that he will rule by "pen and phone"
when it comes to implementing climate
change laws. Lance, a champion of envi-ronmental causes, voted with Obama on
restricting the use of coal for generating
electricity, which will also put coal min-
ers out of work.
Furthermore, Lance, a member of the
House Energy and Finance Committee,
also votes with environmental groups
that believe private enterprise drives
innovation, but it's your tax dollars
invested invested in private companies
like Solyndra (Obama's solar panel com-
pany that went bankrupt) drives theeconomy. (nothing could be further from
the truth)
So, what's really going on here and
why should you be concerned? 57 per-
cent of all electricity in New Jersey is
generated by coal. Any new restrictions
on the use of coal will raise your electric-
ity rates. This is Cap and Trade through
the back door, which Lance still supports
and voted for back in 2010.
Lance's voting record shows that he's
in favor of it costing you more to heatyour home and power your house in
order to stop global warming and at the
same time he's
saddling future generations with
crushing debt. With the primary election
on June 3rd, it's time to start thinking
about who Congressman Lance repre-
sents, crony capitalism or you, the peo-
ple of the 7th District?"

The more I know people, the more Ilove my dog. Or, in my case, mydogs. Ive taken Mark Twains obser-
vation to heart for many years now. Yet thesedays, when it comes to one group of Americans,its more true than ever.
Passionately and fundamentally dividedwere the people in the United States in the
decades leading up to the Civil War. I am com-ing to genuinely fear that todays wing nuts onthe right, overwhelmingly white, super reli-gious, ideologically rigid, and not all that welleducated, are whipping themselves up into areal lather as they continue their march, theirown war really, against the rest of us. Clearlytheyre passionate and just as clearly their viewsabout our country, our Constitution, and ourdemocratic form of government are fundamen-tally different than the rest of America.Apparently we are usurpers of their America.They are, as their hero Sarah Palin tells them,the real Americans. What they are is fright-ened and, more ominously, theyre angry. Weare all paying a high price for their blindobstructionism and truculence as they stampedeto impose their narrow, ill considered policieson all of us.
Id like to content myself with a belief that,while these people are garnering a lot of pressthese days, they will soon return to the fringe ofour cultural and political discourse. But whoknows? Their fifteen minutes are certainly notup yet.
Over the past several years the wing nutshave stormed the Republican Party headquar-ters. It seems that many old timers have runout the back door. The infighting hasnt beenpretty. No. Nothing gentlemanly about this.Beyond question, the damage has already beenextensive. And it isnt over yet.
Even once respected Republican think tanks,like the Heritage Foundation, have fallen to theheathens. There was a time when many peopleacross the political spectrum, even Liberals,once respected the work product of the HeritageFoundation even while disagreeing with its pol-
icy prescriptions. At least there was some gen-uine academic rigor to their work. Today, aca-demics on both the left and the right agree thatthe Heritage Foundation is finished, its reputa-tion in tatters.
These days the voices on the right seem to beliving in a world of their own design. Theyvebeen caught in so many factual errors andhypocrisies theres no need to recount any ofthem here. Glen Beck. Sean Hannity. AnnCoulter. Bill OReilly. Michael Savage. One ofthe most disheartening things about this era isnot only that these people are talking, its that so
many people are listening and shaking theirheads in agreement. Sad, sad, sad.
And as for Fox News. I suggest thatnobody should watch it. It isnt news. It is ascourge upon our country and one that will,eventually, fade away. But not yet. WatchingFox may not make you stupid, as some claim,but it sure doesnt make you smart.
Lately the wing nuts on the right have been
making it exceedingly clear that they are notlike us. A recent poll reported that more thanhalf of the people in our country who identifythemselves as Republican, let alone as conser-vative, reject the theories, reject the truth, ofevolution. More than half believe in creation-ism as reality. Think about that. Its one thing tohave religious faith. Its quite another, in thisday and age, to reject science and embrace, astruth, the idea that the world was formed prettymuch as it is a mere 6 thousand or so years ago.And whats worse is that in many states, includ-ing Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas, these folkshave found their way onto the school boards andhave been pushing, very hard, to shove aside thesound and proper teaching of evolution in pub-lic schools and to have textbooks and classroominstruction give at least equal weight to cre-ationism. Is it any wonder that Americanschoolchildren lag behind other first worldcountries, and even some developing countries,in science? But wait, theres more.
These same people, many of whom also self-identify as Tea Party members, show even morecontempt for science. What global climate
changes? That shining light from Texas,Senator Ted Cruz, commenting on this coldwinter weather has repeatedly told audiencesthat Al Gore told me this wouldnt happen.Apparently his audiences go wild. Actual scien-tists around the world arent laughing, though.Im groaning. You should be too.
Reject science. Reject reasonable compro-mise in government. Reject the rights of fellowAmericans who dont agree with your religiousviews. Reject your political opponents as theyare not patriotic. Reject, reject, reject.
So how will this play out for our precious
country? I dont know. I do know that allowingpeople on the fringe right, the Tea Party farright, to have a veritable veto on reasonablelaws and reasonable policies, such as weveseen happen over the past several years, is thewrong recipe for those of us who treasure ourConstitutional form of government, where weknow we must have a consensus of the gov-erned, by the governed and for the governed. Ifthe fringe right wing keeps going as it has been,maybe we should keep an eye on Fort Sumter.Nothing would surprise me.

Everyone can benefit from Acupuncture whether
seeking help for an existing health issue or just to
promote overall wellness and to help prevent future
issues. Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and
research from the National Institute of Health proves that
Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management,
osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nau-
sea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma,
among others. In addition, The World Health Organization
declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic
disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions.
What is Acupuncture?Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese
Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles
into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years
ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living
being has energy that flows through invisible meridians
(energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as
"Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi
flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance
in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease.
Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly throughthe hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs,
the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the
water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden hoses
attached to one another and arranged within the body. Each
hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see how
a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other
hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage
results in illness and/or disease.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to res tore the
smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring
the body back to balance.
If you are still following then you are probably wonder-ing how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or
energy can become kinked or blocked from
physical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating
habits, seasonal changes, over-exertion, and exposure to the
elements (wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have no
fearAcupuncture is here!
How does Acupuncture Work?
There are several theories regarding the Acupuncture
mechanism. Acupuncture helps the body to do what it was
meant to do- heal itself. Some of the most common theories
include:
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins,
which relieve pain
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters
(substances that that transmit nerve impulses to the brain
-Acupuncture has a profound effect on the Autonomic
Nervous System- Acupuncture stimulates circulation
- Acupuncture enhances the bodys immune response
- Acupuncture influences the electrical currents of the
body
The most common question of all Does Acupuncture
Hurt?
Extremely fine needles are used in the treatment of
Acupuncture, making the experience almost painless. Most
patients don't even feel the needles being inserted. The
Acupuncture needles used are as fine as a few hairs on your
head. All of my patients find their Acupuncture treatments
to be very relaxing. In fact, most people fall asleep during
their treatment.
What is a typical Acupuncture treatment like?
Upon arrival the patient is asked to fill out a detailed
health history questionnaire. Then, the acupuncturist will
review the health history with the patient and go over the
patients primary health concern and lifestyle. The acupunc-
turist will take the patient's pulses and look at his/her tongue
(In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulses are representa-
tive of the various organ/meridian systems and help in the
diagnostic process). After the interview, the practitioner
will come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan for thepatient. The treatment plan is specific to the individual- not
their disease. Then, the sterile needles will be inserted into
various acupuncture points. The patient may feel a heavi-
ness or tingling sensation around the needle insertion site.
The needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes.
Sticking to the Facts - Learn How Everyone Can Benefit!How many Acupuncture treatments are needed?
The number of Acupuncture treatments needed is based
on the severity and chronicity of the condition. However,
most patients experience some relief after the very first
treatment.
What does Acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is effective in treating various disorders
and symptoms including, but not limited to the following:
Addiction, Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain,
Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Common Cold & Influenza, Constipation, Degenerative
Disk Disorders, Depression, Facial Rejuvenation,Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas, Bloating,
Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause symptoms, Migraines,
Morning Sickness, Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea,
Orthopedic Conditions, Pain, PMS & Menstrual
Irregularities, Reproductive Issues, Sports Injuries, Stress,
Tendonitis, Smoking Cessation and Weight management.
What does it take to become an Acupuncturist?
In addition to obtaining a Bachelors degree,
Acupuncturists are required to undergo 3-4 years of school-
ing at an accredited Acupuncture school. Acupuncture pro-
grams consist of various classes in the areas of Acupuncture
and Biomedicine as well as a full year of a clinical intern-
ship to obtain the experience of treating patients.

Did You Know?
Genetically modified foods, or GMOs, have been a
topic of heated conversation for the last several
months. People have strong opinions on both sides
of the GMO debate. In January 2014, retail giant General
Mills decided to produce GMO-Free Cheerios, one of its
most popular and well-known cereals. This move now makes
shopping for a GMO-free cereal that much easier. However,
finding other products that do not contain GMOs may not be
so simple, and consumers may have to do some research.Food companies in the United States are not required to label
foods to indicate use of GMOs. It is safe to assume that corn
and soybeans produced in the United States are genetically
modified. Papayas are often modified as well. Produce that
has been genetically modified will have a bar code that starts
with the digit "8." One way to avoid GMOs is to buy only
organic foods, which, in many instances, are GMO-free
thanks to stringent regulations. In terms of other foods, it
very well may be aguessing game. Speaking with a brand's
customer service department may be the best way to learn if
they offer any GMO-free products.

Dessert is an indulgence, and when
you delight in the taste, texture and
aroma of a decadent sweet treat,
you savor every bite. It is easy to get lost in
the flavor and fragrance of rich chocolate or
creamy caramel.
But what happens when chocolate or
caramel are paired with different flavors,
like salty, sour or savory? Spurred by
curiosity, the food scientists in the Wilton
Test Kitchen dug deeper into unusual flavor
pairings to enhance the taste experience.
While the terms taste and flavor are
often used interchangeably, there is a differ-
ence between the two. The taste of a food is
what the taste buds perceive, while the fla-
vor of a food is the combination of these
tastes, plus the aroma and the other sensa-
tions.
Treatology is the science of blending
different flavors and tastes t
