Get Relief For Everyday Aches and
Pains
By Douglas MacKay, N.D.
Everyday aches and pains may not leave you stuck in
bed but they can certainly take some pep out of your step.
Often, readily
accessible dietary supplements and home remedies can relieve minor-but no less
annoying-ailments. Common problems like acid reflux (heartburn), upset stomachs,
achy backs and that occasional run-down feeling can strike just about anyone.
Here are some simple ways to treat minor complaints:

By Dr. Darren Snodgrass
Q.
Dear Dr. Snodgrass,
My
daughter was told that she may have scoliosis by the school nurse. The nurse suggested that we see our doctor
about possible treatment. What is the
chiropractic approach to treatment?
Also, what is the long-term outlook for this condition?

Squirrels, the Cute Little Rodent
Besides our
backyard bird feeders, Robin has scattered a few feeders in various “photogenic”
spots around our property. She checks them every morning when she walks the
dogs. Recently she has been doing some catalog photos for Duncraft, a leading
supplier of wild bird feed and feeders, so she was really excited the morning
she discovered that all of the Duncraft Peanut Butter “Miracle Mix” had been
cleaned out of one of the feeders—she thought maybe the chickadees had finally
found it! Hoping to get some photos she went back out with her camera only to
discover a fat fox squirrel sitting up in the tree munching the tasty—and
expensive—treat.
Squirrels are
common, but we don’t see many of them up around our house—they seem to hang out
more in the back where the trees are more mature. A few years ago we were
entertained by a family of fox squirrels that spent a lot of time playing in
our backyard and cleaning out the bird feeders… until one day a gray squirrel
moved into the area and took over. The fox squirrel family left and never came
back. Shortly after that, the gray squirrel disappeared, too.

“Take Two and Butter ‘em while
they’re Hot!” is the name of a cook book that boasts of “Heirloom Recipes and
Kitchen Wisdom”. The recipes from the 1880’s include such old time favorites as
Garden Fresh English Pea Soup, Tipsy Pork Chops, Fried Green Tomatoes,
Turkey corn Chowder and Lebkuchen.
Bits of kitchen wisdom include, “There’s not a pot so crooked that there isn’t a
lid to fit it.” Another, “A person who
gets all wrapped up in themselves makes a mighty small package.” “Life can only be understood backwards, but
must be lived forward.”
